CONNECTICUT AVE
STORES WILL TRY
PARK-SHOP PLAN

Impressed with the sue
cess of the Downtown Park
and Shop" plan. Connecti-
cut avenue businessmen are
planning to set UP a similar
system for their area, it was
announced today.
The plan. approved by the
Connecticut Avenue Asso-
citation, is essentially the
same as the downtown sys-
TEN which started opera
tions this week. It provides
one hour Of free parking for
customers who shop in mem
ber stores.
The association plans to
print stamps, which 1t will
sell to member stores for As
cents each. Stores will at
tach a stamp to customers
parking stubs and the stamp
will be accepted by parking
lots and garages in lieu Of
payment for the first hours
parking.
The association will re-
deem the stamps monthly
from the parking lots at the
going rate for one hours
parking. Since this rate is
in. some cases less than As
cents, the association ex-
poets to make enough money
to cover printing and adver-
tising expenses.

Pre-PHmury
Glasses End
In Arlington

Arlington school officials will
not reopen the pre-primary
classes next fall.
The substitute kindergarten
program is being dropped be-
cause of a $435, 900 budget slash
by the County Board. The
School Boards proposed budget
had included a $235, 900 item for
kindergartens.
Officials said the 51a-year-old
program could not be established
as a substitute.
The School Board said that,
as previously announced, there
is no provision in the budget for
continuing the present pre-
primary program. There will
therefore be no classes in the
Arlington public schools next
year for children whose sixth
birthdays fall after October l."
The pre-primary classes were
put into effect for the first time
last fall. Last year the County
Board voted an 100000 appro-
priation for these classes after
turning down the School Boards
plea for funds to set up a
kindergarten program.

Schools 10 Cut
3Cents From
Price Of Milk
Federal Subsidy
Allows Purchase
Of Refrigerotors

The District public school sys.
tenn today announced the price
of milk In school cafeterias will
be cut three cents bottle next
Monday.
Charles N. Zellers, deputy SUI
perintendent. also disclosed plans
to buy refrigerators for about
140 public and private elemen-
tary schools for use In the sep
arate Government subsidized
penny milk program.
Both actions are the result Of
a special Federal milk subsidy
enacted by Congress last year to
ase milk consumption
among school children.
The price cut on cafeteria milk
for students only-is the first
in a number Of years. Plain
milk starting Monday will sell
for 5 cents instead of 8 cents q
bottle. Chocolate milk will be-
come Z cents in place Of the
present 10 cents.
Hope to Keep Reductions
The school system hopes to be
able to keep the lower prices In
effect next fall, but this isn't
certain yet.
The special Federal milk pro-
gram, which is administered by
the Agriculture Department,
allots 4 cents a half pint in
Federal funds for any increase
in milk consumption by students
over a year ago.
Purchase of refrigerators for
the separate penny-milk program
is expected to permit extension
of this program to the full school
year next year, Mr.. zellers said.
Both public and private schools
participate in this program, un-
der which students get milk for
2 cents a half-pint. with the
Federal and District Govern
ments footing the balance. The
program, a national one, is ad-
ministered by the public school
system here.
Up to now, lack Of refrigera-
tion in most schools has been
one of the factors halting the
penny-milk distribution before
the end of the school year.
Limited by Funds
In addition, money for sub
sidizing the program has usually
run out before the close Of
school. This years program
stopped April 80.
In the past lack Of sufficient
funds has also limited the pro-
gram usually to four days a
week. Mr.. ZellerS said the ad-
ditional Federal allotment should
make it possible to supply the
milk all five school days next
fall.
In some schools children pay
a little more than the 2 cents
per bottle and get crackers with
the milk.
Some 100 District public
schols and about 20 private and
parochial schools-the total par
ticipating in the program-will
get the new refrigerators, Mr..
Zellers said. He estimated the
cost at $4,000.

Pinto makes even women ap-
prehensive for her safety.
In the other color chart there
is one gorgeous Josephine Bero-
SIM. blond. She is a high wire
artist, with the same act as over
the past several years. but not
a breath less exciting.
She walks up a sloping wire to
a high wire, where she dances.
Then she gets into a sort of
coverall with a hood, and does
it without sight, and you look
around for the police to stop it.
a Another one is billed as Miss
Mara. also a beauty. With no
net below. this one hangs by
her calves, then slides down,
catching herself on her heels.
This, of course, is up high.
The distaff side doesn't have a
monopoly on intrepidity aloft. A
little man named Takeo Usui,
newly imported from Japan,
seems dedicated still to his
homeland's hara-kiri school,
substituting height for the blade.
He walks up a wire several times
and slides down, once while
backwards.

old ones still with them. The
animal trainers follow the classic

puts sabers down his gullet.
Spun sugar hasn't changed.
Best of all, in at least one
opinion. are the elephants. The
circus has put together a fine
batch of them, some old and

babies.
The tiniest can't go over 4
feet at the top, and the young
humans who gaped at them yes

eminent aid to religious institu-
tons, welfare assistance, the right
to hold public office, and elections
to Tunisian government bodies.
These same demands had been
presented to the French govern
ment by American and other Jew
ish leaders interested in the fate
of Tunisian JewrY. They request
ed that assurances to this effect
will be written into the conven-
lions which had been formulated
by French and Tunisian repre-
sentatives as the basis for a new
regime in Tunisia. In addition.
they wanted the guarantees in
cluded in any projected Tunisian
constitution.
The big question in their minds
now is whether they will have to
repeat these demands to the head
of the new French Cabinet, which
would be the case if he takes the
position that he is beginning en-
tirely new negotiations, uncom-
mitted by any understandings of
