Inc long -0raWn controversy
over the fate Of the old Union
Fire Engine House. home of the
Association of Oldest Inhabit-
ants, will be settled this week.
A new proposal, made to the
group by Garfield I. Kass, presi-
dent of Kass Berger Co., build
ers, increased chances that the
historic, two-story building will
be moved from its present site.
The site, at Nineteenth and H
streets NV, has long been
sought by the International
Monetary Fund for construction
of an Office building.
William E. Leahy. president
of the association, was named
last night by the organization to
decide the fate of the building
by the end of the week.
Move or Fight
Mr.. Leahy, who recently re-
turned from Florida after re-
cuperating from a heart attack,
said he plans to appoint a COM
mittee of three or four members
to help him decide whether to
move or fight.
Mr.. Kass offered the associa-
ton a $4,000 site at Twenty
fifth and E streets NV. free OF
charge. Should the group accept
his offer. Mr.. Kass said he would
contribute 500 annually for the
upkeep of the building.
The building firm president
said experts have told him the
building could be moved in Sec
tions with little or no loss to the
original design. Mr.. Kass added
that the $4,000 offered previ-
ously by the monetary fund for
the removal, or erection, of a
new fire house, probably would
be enough to cover the cost Of
the move.
Mr.. Leahy was named to act
for the group after he told the
Association 1.-The Fund is one OF
the most important international
activities" and probably would
move to New York if it cannot
get the H street site.
Mr.. Leahy obtained an extern
sion of previous eviction order
dated April 30, from the District
Board of Commissioners on his
return from Florida. The ex-
tension ended last night.
II promised I would return tc
them with some Judgment as tc

Anne Arundel,
Howard Adopt
Partial Mixing
BY the Associated Press

Two more Maryland counties
have formally let down the bars
of segregation in their school
systems.
Neither went all the way. how
ever.
The Howard County Board Of
Education yesterday voted to adj
NIT white and Negro children in
public schools from the first
through the fifth grades, be-
ginning with the new term next
fall.
The Anne Arundel County
board made a similar announce
ment, with indignation in its
first, second and third grades.
Howard School Supt. John E.
Yingling said transportation fa-
Icilities would continue on a seq
Iregated basis. although adjust
Iments to take care of children
transferring from one school to
another would be made by the
supervisor Of transportation.
Negro Members Comment
Anne Arundel's first Negro
member of the Board of Educa-
ton, DR.. Arts T. Allen, called the
plan satisfactory, but admitted
he "had hoped for a little bit
more"
His main objection was that it
could take up to nine years to
complete desegregation of all
grades up through high school,
if the board worked with an idea
of migrating one higher grade
each year.
The resolution to desegregate
three grades this year was
adopted on the motion Of DR..
Richard E. Weigle, president Of
st. Johns College. and was sec
onded by Calvin Miller.
The board said every child In
the first three grades of white
and Negro schools in the county
will have the choice of attend
ing the nearest school or the
school he is now attending.
Some Travel 2O-25 Miles
He warned that there may be
an lawful lot of unrest from
families who must continue to
transport their children 20 to IS
miles" to Bates High School in
Annapolis, the only one for Me-
lgroes in the county.
The resolution was adopted
under the Supreme Court decree
prohibiting segregation in public
schools. 1t followed more than q
year of exploring the problem by
a special study commission ap-
pointed by the school board.
1 DR.. Jenkins said children en-
tering the first grade next Sep
TENDER are to apply for admis.
sion in the normal manner at the
school of their choice. Those In
the second and third grades who
may want to transfer must apply
to the Board of Education In
June. This will be necessary to
assure adequate classroom facili-
ties with the opening Of school
in September, he said.
Requests for Transfers
The Howard County board
established the policy of at
tendance in the school Of the
individuals choice subject to
the availability of facilities and
the approval of the Board Of
Education"
Supt. Yingling said requests
for transfers should be made
from May Z to Is, inclusive, ex-
cept on Saturday, at the boards
Offices from 9 am. to 4 pm.
The board statement said It
plans to expand some school
plants and build new ones in
some areas. 1t expressed the
hope that within a few years
it will be possible for all chill
dren to attend a school of their
choice with facilities equal to
those of any other school in the
county,"

He moved along to a display

Mr.. Nordstrom was back,
talking about a revolution in
the sale of textile products.
"Packaging," he said, "cuts
down on spoilage. Remember
how they used to sell towels.
Piled them on the counter,
where they could be picked
over. Now who would have
an impulse to buy a towel
from a stack on the counter?
This way they have sales APP
peal.
Had a little experience
with packaging myself at the
start of this trip" he added.
Mrs. Nordstrom forgot to
wash enough skivvy shirts for
me to bring along.
II went into a store and said
I'd like five skivvy shirts, size
40 to A long, and the man
said Sure and brought them
out, all neatly packaged.
There won't be any spoilage in
that stock. OF course, I had {
dickens of a time getting them
open. Had to bite them open,
but I've got strong teeth"
