Racial Laws
Of District
Hit as Illegal
Discrimination Ban
Covers Only Port of
City. Defendant Soy:

The 85-year-old laws banning
racial discrimination in places
of amusement were called uncon-
stitutional in Municipal Court
today because they apply only
to parts of the District and
not all of the District.
Attorney Charles E. Ford asked
the court to dismiss a two-count
charge lodged by the Govern.
ment against the Lucky Strike
Bowling Alleys, 1929 Fourteenth
street NV, because "the laws
are discriminatory"
John w. Wood. vice president
of the Central Amusement Co..
Inc. which operates the alleys
earlier pleaded not guilty to
charges of failing to admit Ne
groes because of their race.
1S69-7O Laws Invoked
The counts were brought
against the alleys by the District
in a move to enforce laws
passed by the old City Council of
Washington in 1869 and 1870
The Commissioners issued a
warning several months ago that
the statutes would be enforced
Only last year the Supreme
Court upheld similar laws in a
case involving Thompson Res
taurants. The decision pro-
hibited discrimination against
Negroes in eating establishments
The motion to dismiss, filed
today, pointed out that the legis-
lation was written so as to in
clude only the old city of Wash
ington and was later amended
to include Georgetown also. A
large part of the District was
left out.
That, the brief declared, "is
discriminatory and therefore un-
constitutional"
The boundaries of the old city
of. Washington covered by the
statutes are Rock Creek on the
west, Florida avenue on the
north and the Anacostia River
on the east, in addition tI
Georgetown.
Calls Charge Improper
The motion also asked dis
missal of the charges on the
grounds of an improper in.
formation. The counts were
brought against the, bowling al.
leys under section of the Dis.
trict code making it unlawful
for persons who are licensed te
conduct places of public amuse.
ment here to make any distinc.
ton because of race or color.
But, it points out. another sec.
ton Of the code deals with tn,
licensing of bowling alleys, bill
liards, pool tables and games
exclusively.
Assistant Corporation Coun.
sci Clark F.. King, who filed the
charges, said the District &C.
cuses the alleys of refusing tc
admit three Negroes on Feb
ruary Is and three more on
March 3.
He is expected to file an an
eswer to the motion for dis
missal shortly.

set the value of the two water
firms at s9.7 million.
Vice Mayor Leroy S. Bend
helm suggested further study Of
acquiring only the Alexandria
Water Co., which serves the city.
The Virginia Water Co., which
serves portions of Fairfax
County south and west of Alex
andria, is a subsidiary of the
Alexandria firm and both obtain
their water from the Occoquan
reservoir.
ID. c. Source Suggested
Another councilman suggested
the possibility be explored of the
city getting water from the Dis
trict of Columbia reservoir.
The engineers suggested the
Council negotiate with the Alex
andria Water Co. to see what
its position is on the city taking
over the system. Mr.. Bendheim,
who first suggested the city
study acquisition of the water
system, said the firms president
has stated the company is not
interested in negotiating a sale.
If sale cannot be negotiated,
the only other way the city could
acquire the system would be
through condemnation.
Mr. Bendheim asked for the
study of the feasibility of city
acquisition several months ago
after the city experienced a
water shortage last summer. Mr..
Bendheim said the shortage was
caused by poor management. He
also complained that water
charges were too high.
Council appropriated $4,000
for the water study. Last nights
meeting was scheduled to hear
a preliminary report. City
officials said they do not know
when the final report will be
! given.

Fences Urged

Falls Church City Council is

The proposed ordinance, read

would require 5-foot-high fence
to minimize the danger of chill
dren falling into the pools.
A city official said there are
several private pools in the city
A public hearing on the pro-
posal will be held in the City

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation says the County
Board of Education has over
stated school construction needs
by $1,525.Oo0 in its proposed
budget for 1866.
Lewis C. Tuttle, chairman Of
the federation's Committee on
Schools, last night defended a
resolution urging that this
amount be cut from the budget.
A minority of committee men,
bers said the school boards re-
quest was justified. The reso-
luton was adopted.
The committee. Mr.. Tuttle
said, took the position that
$1,599,660 requested for ele-
mentary school construction in
Rockville and the up-county
area would provide a pupil ca
pacity in excess of 1856 needs
by 800 pupils. He recommended
a cut of $585. 900 in that area.
Construction estimates on the
secondary school level should be
cut by $940,000. the committee
report stated. Mr.. Tuttle cited
the $2.255, 900 requested for con-
struction of, a Rockville Junior
High School as another example
of a new building that would
provide excess capacity.
Calls Cuts Unrealistic
Speaking for the committee
minority, Charles Gordon, a
Rosemary Hills delegate, said the
lump sum budget cuts" were
unrealistic. His amendment to
reverse the sense of the resolu-
ton was defeated by a vote of
35 to 20.

you can expect to have Standing
Room Only" every time it's movie
night at your house!
Instead of isolated shots, your
movie camera should shoot in Sc
quenceS-telling story in motion
and color just about the way you
would tell it if you were relat-
ing an incident to a friend. This
will give your movie story its
needed continuity. For interest,
you will do well to remember
pace and distance. In other words,
one shot may require twelve sec
onds to establish certain point;
another, only three or four. Some
of your shots should be taken at
a greater distance; others will be
more effective as close-ups. And
always plan on using plenty of
film, so that you can edit if neces-
sary without losing any essential
parts of your story
If you use 8mm film, your NOV
les need not be shown on screen
much more than a yard wide.
That's plenty large enough for
the average home-movie presen-
tation to relatively small group
of people. Movies made on 16mm
film can be projected for much
larger livingroom groups or church
and club get-togethers.

Home Movies-Fvn to Shoot and Show

Every day more families are
becoming aware of the wonderful
fun of home-movie making and
showing.
Family activities, vacations,
travel, sports events, parades, fish
ing, boating, the children at play
in all of these there is a wealth
of movie material unrivaled by
even the best of Hollywood seem
arioS. Not that today's home
movie maker expects to compete
with Hollywood. He doesn't -
simply because his aims are diff
ferent. His prime purpose is to re-
cord personal experiences, adven-
lures, achievements and develop
ment-and then to show them at
home to family and friends who'll
enjoy sharing happy times and
intimate highspots as the reels
unwind.
Home movies, however, can be
just as smooth as the professional
product. There are a few simple
techniques of continuity and in
terest to be learned - and from
then on, you won't have to make
any apologies for the quality of
your movie-making. Instead of
being merely yards and yards of
animated snapshots" your movies
will tell story smoothly, clearly
and colorfuliy. And pretty soon
