Building Plans Appear
Area B Deciding Foctor
Elevated Freeway

northern border of the Area B
residential section.
Elevated Freeway
Architects Francis Lethbridge
and iChloethiel Smith. of the
Scheuer-Steven group, said the
freeway is planned to be elevated
at that point-in one spot as
high as IS feet. Such an ele-
waited road, with its "autos, noise
and SMELLS" would make it "un-
thinkaple and ridiculous" to build
low housing at that location, Mr..
Lethridge said.
For that reason, he explained,
his plan calls for an eight-story
elevator apartment alongside the
Ifreeway. The apartment. he
said, would have a single corri-
dor along the rear. with each
apartment running through the
building toward the Potomac
River. Rooms actually backing
ION the freeway. he said, would
have double glazed windows and
other sealed" features TO keep
out the noise. Il
The question Of the freeway
elevation was not raised during
the earlier presentation of the
Bainum plan, which showed two
and three story buildings nearest
the freeway.
The Scheuer-Stevens plan calls
for 867 housing units. ranging
from elevator apartments to
flats and row houses. The Bal
mum plan has 893 units of the
same types. Numbers Of each
type largely are restricted by
RIA standards.
Contacts With Zeckendorf
Mr.. Scheuer emphasized his
group has been in constant
touch" with the Zeckendorf firm
to make the Area B plan mesh
''in each detail" with proposals
for rebuilding the rest of the
Southwest.
He said his group only is in
terested because of the potentials
for rebuilding all of Southwest
Washington and that Area B
only Is feasible with that ap-
|proach in mind.
Mr.. Letheridge said his plan
calls for an off-street parking
space for each residential unit,
and that the group also has con-
sidered the possibility the big
buildings might have to be built
on long piles because of bad
sub-Surface conditions.

Fother Of 8 Seized Here
As $45,000 EmbezzIer

Hurricane Diane, which
wrought the Northeast's great
food havoc. was credited today
with bringing about the arrest
here Of a Willimantic (Conn)
father Of eight charged with en-
bezzling more than $4,000.
David Henry Barlow, 81, was
picked up at married daugh-
ter's home In the 1000 block Of
Barnaby terrace Sc. last night
on a fugitive warrant from
Springfield, Mass.
Capt. james ]. Mccarthy Of
the Springfield police said Bar
low had been indicted there on
charges Of embezzling the money
from the American Express Co.,
for which Barlow was a financial
agent.
Leaves Home
Springfield police have been
seeking Barlow since September
/. the day he disappeared from
his home. That evening he had
told his wife he was going out a
few minutes, but would be back
for dinner. Two days later she
received a letter from Hartford,
Conn.,, assuring her all was well
and indicating he would be back.
Barlow had sold money orders
and travellers checks for the
company and made collections
from substations. He lived at
Willimantic but worked out Of
Springfield. about rs miles away.
Willimantic was in the hard
hit food area, and things got SO
bad 1t was necessary for the COM
pany to send replacement for
Barlow. Police said the substi-
tute found discrepancies between
the collections and Barlow's
records.
The company's Boston Office
announced a total of $45, 900
was unaccounted for. The COM
pany said the funds apparently
began disappearing last October.
Spent It on Horses
= When he was arrested, Barlow
had 20 cents in his pockets.
Detective Sergt. Mark Gray said
Barlow told him: Its all gone
most of 1t gambled on horses"
Interviewed today by Wash
ington detectives and a repre-
sentative Of the American Ex-
press Co., Barlow waived extra
dition. Two Springfield detec-
tives were on their way to take
him back TO Massachusetts,.

Corning Backs
Ability
Denies Integrution
Has Cut Standards

Washington school integration
has not brought lower standards,
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
declared last night.
But it has brought into focus"
a need for more classes for re-
tarded children. the superintend-
ent said. He predicted the
schools will group children in
creasingly according to ability.
DR.. Corning, In q broadcast
interview heard over Station
WWDC. declared that integra-
ton in the Capitals schools has
worked much more smoothly
than we had expected"
Praising public cooperation,
he added, however. that he thinks
perhaps we didn't work quite
as much as we should have" to
prepare pupils for the change.
and he declared:
II don't want to leave the i'm
preston that everybody is en-
tirely happy about it. Of course. !"
Differences In Ability
On the standards question, DR..
Corning said:
Lower standards Of learning
do not exist. We have always
had in our schools wide differ
ences, whether they be colored
schools or white schools in chill
drer's ability to achieve. and =.
In actual achievement. We've
been accustomed to handling
those differences" g.,
The school superintendent said
Washington has overcome some
unusual problems in the school
changeover. Among these, he
pointed out, are the facts that
the school system has 81 per cent
Negro pupils. that Negroes are
more scattered through the city
than in some others and that
separate stating of the two for
mer school divisions made q
complicated reshuffling Of school
employees necessary.
Or. Corning said there was no
increase last year in transfers
to private schools or an appre-
ciable increase In migration to
the suburbs. He said there were
no figures on enrolment trends
so far this year.
Complaints Overcome
The superintendent said he
heard "some grumblings" from
white parents about having their
children assigned to Negro
teachers last fall. But he added
81 have quite a number Of let
ters on file from parents who say
that originally they were un-
happy at the prospect Of having
a Negro teacher for their chill
dren, but now they are singing
the praises Of these teachers"
He predicted there will be no
particular problems with high
school activities. but that "there
probably will be more difficulty
along the behavior line" than
before integration until people
have had opportunity to make
adjustments to entirely new situ-
atoms"

Let's stop saying to every girl
we meet who has naturally
curly hair, You lucky. lucky
girl" The fact of the matter is
that most curly hair is extra
ordinary difficult to handle.
What can be said with entire
truth is that once a girl with
curly hair has learned to
master her problem. she
usually emerges with the pref
tiest Golf in the crowd. Here's
what she can do:
/. The short Golf is heaven
sent for very curly hair. It
permits wearers to thin out
the bushy hunks that make
long hair a shapeless mass on
them. A girl with very curly
hair should face the fact that
she needs a cut at least every
two weeks, and some times as
often as every ten days. Her
greatest problem is maintain
ing a firm, precise shape.
2. Very curly hair is plainly
difficult to set. At the, same
time. it must be washed fire.
Quently, since it is totally un-
manageable when it is not
clean. The solution to setting
curly hair after washing lies in
the shampoo. Many, many
stars in Hollywood have very
curly hair Marilyn Monroe is
one Of them) - Curly hair
should be set dry in pin curls
every night between shampoos
to preserve its shape. If the
nightly dry set is omitted, curls
often go wild.
8. Very curly hair often
comes hand-in-hand with the
problem of dryness. Frequent
shampooing with a creme
shampoo combats this effec-

lively. Thorough brushing
before the dry set is also
important. Most girls with
curly hair are afraid to brush
it because they feel brushing
makes their problem even

We'veConne
Along Way
With Hair
By EIeni

It's a far cry today from
early experiments in perma-
nent waving that found women
using orange wood sticks, mud
from the Nile. and the heat Of
sunshine in an attempt to have
a curl that stayed put. This
was in ancient Egypt.
Curling first came a long
way when in 1872 Marcel in
vented the waving iron"
This. however, only managed
to give temporary waves to
women's hair.
Then in 1905 Charles Mes
sler gave the first public ex-
hibition of the permanent
wave in London.
This year celebrates the 50th
anniversary Of the permanent
wave. The next significant
year in permanent waving was
in 1926. The first croquignole
method was introduced, pro-
ducing a perfectly shaped. nat
ural-looking wave which was
a change from the spiral wave.
In 1882 came the first
machineless wave brought out
at a gathering of members of
the National Hairdressers and
Cosmetologists Association.
BY the middle of the '40s
cold waving was on its way.
Today's permanents are a
tribute to the skills and ar
tistry of the members in the
beauty profession.
Beauty Scion Week
In this, National Beauty
Salon Week, we'd like to salute
the industry for the many
contributions it has made and
is continuing to make to the
better grooming and beauty
of women.
Artificial-looking curls and
frizzy coifures are gone. A
soft-looking hairdo from cut
to permanent is the end result
of a trip today to the beauty
parlor.
Today's coiffureS bear little
if any resemblance to those
of other centuries. They reflect
the moods. Of our times and
certainly reflect the desire on
the part of women for hairdos
they can care for easily.

TURNTABLE TALK
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Angel has Just come along
with another in its delightful
procession Of Viennese oper-
ettas.
This one is "a Night in
Venice" by, Of course. Johann
Strauss. We are told by the
annotator that this opus. when
it was premiered in Berlin in
1888, was a failure Some
thing must have been wrong
with the Berliners. for there
is nothing but beguilement in
this effervescent. captivating
recording.
"a Night in Venice" follows
the operetta pattern as to plot.
Its level Of seriousness is evi-
dent from the cast of charac-
tiers, which includes a duke
cot Urbino~, a ducal barber
named Caramello, a Venetian
Senator named Delaqua and
a vocal gentleman named Pap
pacoda. a macaroni cook "a
subtle reference to THE Magic
Flute" perhaps?). His Grace.
incidentally. is the Don Juan
type, but Herr Strauss care
fully steers the plot away from
any Mozart-like retribution.
There are ladies present. too.
naturally angels list omits
Emmy Loose's Ciboletta, too
much of an ornament to the
proceedings to deserve ne
glect), and since the night in
question is at carnival time
the plot Is quite merry.
In fact, it's pure nonsence.
But you can put the libretto
away, for all that, and still
derive nothing but pure pleas
ure. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf,
Nicolai Gedda, Erich Kunz and
the rest of the Angel cast can
take some of the credit along
with Herr Strauss. Otto Ack-
ermann, the Philharmonic Or
chestra, an enthusiastic
chorus and the able E. M. /.
engineers do their part. too.
