A new petition is being circu-

About 100 residents of the
Langley area who do not want
CHA to build on the Bureau OF
Public Roads property there met
last night to plan circulation OF
the petition. 1t urges retention
of the residential character OF
the McLean-Langley area and
asks that the property involved
become a park instead Of the CHA

County school appropriations be

the face Of racial indignation

year, was turned down fatty
yesterday by the county commits

The demand came from about
100 residents, mostly Of the .Ac-
Iquasco and Brandywine areas
| in the county's southern end,
who said, during q meeting in
Upper Marlboro. that they do not
want their children to go 70
school with Negroes.
The commissioners went along
unanimously with q motion by
Commissioner Lansdale G. Cla-
lgett providing that "the Board
lof Education appropriation be
allowed to stand for the coming
year."

sioners to restrict its levies for
schools to not more than 80
cents per 500 of assessed
property evaluation.
The county's present tax rate
lis $2.15, with $1.40 Of this going
to schools. The commissioners
pointed out that adoption OF
the groups proasal would en-
tail q more than 20 per cent
reduction in school ALLEGATIONS.
What you want us to dc
would not accomplish q thing
You'd Just cripple Schools" Mr..
Clagett said.

in your right to your own
opinion," the commissioner told
the delegation, but added he
would not be fulfilling his oath
as o commissioner to uphold the
United States Constitution and
State laws by going along with
such a proposition.
The commissioners explained
that the county's tax rate al
ready has been set for this year,
school bond payments and in
lterest rates will have to be met
and that State and Federal pay
ments to the school system are
allocated on the basis of the
amount expended within the
county.
Petition Presented
Earlier, John H. Pearce of Ed
monston, who appeared at an
August 9 meeting Of the Board
of Education to criticize its ac-
ceptance Of Indignation, showed
the commissioners a petition
which he said contained 1000
names of residents throughout
the county in opposition to inte-
grafton.
The school board has adopted
a policy of integration for this
fall which leaves the decision
of Indignation by Negro students
Iup to the parents and students
themselves.
The policy permits applica-
lions for transfer without re-
gard to race to a school nearest
1.-THE students home or to a school
where a specific course he wants
to take is offered.
The applications will be &C.
lcepted through Friday, but
school officials have reserved the
right to deny any application
because of overcrowding or other
valid reasons.

NEW YORK.


When a Hollywood Tv column
mist comes to New York, he
usually has a chip on his shoul-
der-at least that was the case
with me.
1 was all prepared to counter
attack the first character who
tried to impress me with the ad-
vantages of New York TV over
the brand produced in Holly
wood.
So far, I've been unable to
work up an argument. The pro-
vincialism which spurs the west
versus east controversy concern
ing TV evidently is confined to
the West Coast.
No one I've met seems to give
a hoot where T'V comes from.
AS matter of fact, those in the
industry here are impressed with
the strides Hollywood TV has
taken in recent years, and are
quick to say so. ..
Aside from Hollywood's TV
film studios, there really isn't
much difference between produc-
ton facilities in these two TV
centers. The studios here in New
York are smaller and the equip
ment not so new and shiny as
one finds on the coast. but it's
hard to make anything of that.
OF course if it's size one is look
ing for, NBC will transport you

would have been considerably
more exciting had anything gone
wrong with the machine which
kept the soap suds pouring into
the bathtub in which Shelley
Winters was immersed during
one scene.
In typical Hollywood tradi-,
ton Miss Winters refused to
wear a flesh-colored leotard as a
safeguard. During the rehearsal
everything went fine. but on the
show even Miss Winters got
nervous about the placement of
the soap bubbles and blew a line
of her dialogue, while making
sure she was covered adequately.
After the rehearsal and on the
way back to Manhattan, came
across one of those erudite New
York cab drivers we're always
reading about. His name was
Herman Kapatkin. He at first re-
fused to make the trip on the
grounds that it was about quit
ting time, land I want to get
home and see The Women"
you're Kidding" said.
"Why should kid you," he
yelled. II want to see that show.
It's got Shelley Winters and
Paulette Goddard, both beauti-
full women, and I love beauty.
am not as old as l look. am
still intrigued by beautiful
women"
So one thing led to another,
and I learned all about Herman's
TV tastes. He took me into New
York after all ("Maybe I can
just make it" he said) and didn't
stop talking. I accused the NBC
publicity boys of planting Her
man, but they denied any ac-
quaintanceship with him.
At a party for the cast later
that evening, / learned that Miss
Winters had called Fred Coe, the
producer, the day before and told
him she was sick and not able to
do the show.
"And you know what he said?"
she stated to a group of us. "He
said real calm like, Now don't
worry about it. You just come
down to the studio and we'll
have doctor standing by. You'll
be all right
Now that would never happen
at the movie studios in Holly
wood. They would scream and
cuss and tell me to get my little
self down there or I'd be out on
my ear" said Miss Winters, while
sympathetically patting Coe on
the shoulder.
AS you can see, this product of
movieland made quite a large
impression on the boys at NBC
here. You might say she waged
a sort of one woman campaign to
prove that there really are some
differences between New York
and Hollywood at that.
I never did get around to
checking with Herman, the taxi
driver. to find out how he liked
"The Women. You know. it
could have been Eddie Cantor. l
