success for Walt Disney with
"Davy Crockett" It probably
would have been more a sub

repeated his three Crockett

Now the Columbia Broadcast

not buying British movies for

Police Question Boy
In Arson Cuses

A 14-year-old boy, who feels
he accomplished something" by
putting firemen and policemen
to work, has admitted that he
started seven fires in Southeast
Washington.
Police continued questioning
him today in an effort to estab-
lish whether he had set others.
The boy was taken into Gus
tody as the arson suspect in a
$500 fire that burned out the
interior of a house at 1910 Galen
street Sc. and nearly cost u
mans life.
Police said the youth had been
befriended by William Ryser,
40, a watchman retained on the
premises while the house was
being remodeled. They said Mr.
Kyser gave the boy a key.
"That fire was sure big" he
told the police and Fire Inspector
Kermit Mullins. 1T must have
been a half a mile high"
Fortunately, Mr.. Kyser awoke
in time. But to escape he had
to dive through a window. When
the youth saw that he ran home
At the age of IL he started a
fire in a garage en- route to school,
but took so long that he was late
for classes. When his tardiness
was reported to his mother and
she learned of the fire. she sus-
pected her son was to blame
For two years thereafter she
accompanied him to and from
school.
The fire inspector said the boy
was arrested eight years ago for
pulling alarm boxes. For this he
received psychiatric treatment.

The Districts Technical Ad-

today to discuss a program for
inoculating children in the 5-to-
E9 age group with funds provided
lin a congressional appropriation.
About 100000 Salk vaccine
shots can be purchased with the
available funds, DR.. Frederick C..
Heath, assistant health officer,
told the committee. He said the
first priority set up In the appro-
priation is for children in the s.

funds to be. used for other chill

The law provided for a COW

children were introduced to ra-
cial integration today and the
result was called successful
throughout the system.
With about $4,000 pupils
fiocking back to classes in the
county's II elementary and 18
secondary schools. officials said
the 500 colored transferees were
absorbed without incident.
This was true at the Rolling
wood Elementary School as else
where. Rollingwood residents
had objected earlier to the trnas-
fer of colored children from a
school two districts removed, but
dropped formal action last Fri
day.
Shortly after the opening bell
at o am. all SLOT the colored
children assigned from the
Lyttonsville area two miles away,
arrived by bus. Also on the bus
were 10 white children from
Rollingwood Estates on East
West highway.
255 Attend Glasses
Everything appeared to move
in routine fashion. Mrs. Eliza
beth j. Roberts. the school prin-
cipal. said 255 children attended
classes. Mrs. Roberts said she
knew of only two or three with
drawals from the school.
The children from Lyttons-
vile will attend the Rollingwood
school for one year until a new
school is constructed at Rose
mary Hills, nearer the Lyttons-
vile area.
Transfer to the Rollingwood
school was made possible by a
new addition of five classrooms
and a library. The school board
inspected and approved the addi-
ton.
Another problem besides inte-
grafton was that of full-day
schedules id all classrooms. It
was estimated that 3,400 pupils
will be on halliday schedules at
the start, and that 1000 will re-
main on these sch edule S
throughout the school year.
Some new schools and 10 adj
ditions helped alleviate the jams.

won't know until late this after

school can avoid doubling up
this term.
At Simon Elementary. Fourth
street and Mississippi avenue
Sc, Miss Edith Williams, the
principal. said she was setting
up a first grade in the lunch
room and other classes in the
library and a former shower
room. This was necessary even
though a boundary change sent
more than 100 youngsters to
Draper.
Simon's enrolment was almost
1900 last year and this fall will
be higher. Miss, Williams said
she was still lacking one first
grade teacher and the class
would start with a substitute
teacher. She said she expects to
get regular teacher later.
Some other schools were not
SO fortunate. At Draper, one
mixed fifth-sixth grade class
was broken UP this morning be-
cause the principal learned last
week no teacher could be pro-
vided. The children moved into
other classrooms. pushing those
classes up to nearly 40 pupils
apiece.
Shutting of Other Schools
Similar shuffling occurred at
a number of other schools.
School headquarters informed 40
elementary principals last week
that there was a shortage of
funds and that they would have
to do without a total of so
teachers.
Officials are hoping to make
up part of the shortage later,
but this can be done only If
secondary schools can spare
teachers, and so far secondary
administrators have said they
cannot.
No doubt shifts are scheduled
in the city at the moment, but
officials have their fingers
crossed about them. Anacostia
High School, several junior highs
and a number of grade schools
have bulging classrooms. Con-
struction of seven temporary
annexes has been delayed, al
though they are expected to
bring some relief by midwinter.
Today was a halliday for all
schools. Full sessions start to-
