GA Auditor
in PLUNGE
Victim Here Was
On Sick Leave

An auditor with the Central
Intelligence Agency was killed
today in what was apparently
a plunge from the roof of the
seven-story Idaho Terrace
Apartments where he lived.
The victim was Archibald s.
Deas. So, who lived in apart
ment 422 of the spacious modern
building at SO4o Idaho avenue
NV.
Police were notified at 6:50
am. that his body was lying on
the one-story garage roof at the
rear of the apartment building
Fence Surrounds Roof
Since the apartment he shared
with his wife, Claire, is at an
other side of the building, De-
tective Sergt. Lionel Couture
said Mr.. Deas probably dropped
from the roof.
(. To reach the edge of the roof,
one would need to step over a AZ
inch chain fence which surrounds
a roof garden.
Mrs. Alice Ladley, resident
manager who lives in 213, said
Mrs. Deas told her that Mr.. Deas
had been on sick leave from the
CHA. suffering from a nervous
condition.
One of the residents believed
he heard something hit the ga
rage roof about $50 am. How
ever, the body was not found
until daylight.
Born in Scotland
Mrs. Deas, who was reported in
a diStraught condition, told po-
lice Mr.. DeaS had remained at
his desk when she retired. APP
parently, he did not go to his
bed at all. The couple have lived
at the apartments about four
years.
Born March is, 1888, in

By JOSEPH B. BYRNEs

Life's darkest moment arrived
today for Minor Worland, 10, a
young man with a genius for
mathematics and mechanics.
Since last Easter, he has been
dreaming of building his own
automobile, a self-propelled soap
box derby type of vehicle.
To finance his project, he
worked for months-baby sit
ting. delivering The Evening
Star and cutting lawns near his
home. at 5919 Wellbron drive,
Woodacres, Md.
Following a talk with an uncle,
he managed to latch on a five
horsepower, one-cylinder gasc-
line motor, used in an Alexandria
garage to run an auxiliary cleo
trio system.
Car for S126.9O
After two months of work, he
was set to go. He had spent
$126.90, mostly advanced by his
father and since PAID back.
With understandable pride,
Minor took his new car" for a
spin around the block. He was
the envy of all the small fry
And then the dream ended.
A neighbor complained to the
police. The motor, even though
equipped with a muffler, was dis
turbing her peace, she said.

Arlington Court Ruling
Near in Segregation Suit

A decision is expected today
or tomorrow on a suit seeking
to end racial segregation in Ar
lington County schools.
Alexandria Federal Court
Judge Albert v. Bryan took the
case filed by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People under advisement
yesterday after a six-hour hear
ing.
Judge Bryan told attorneys fol-
the county and the State and fol
the NAACP that he expected to
reach q decision in "the next
day or two"
Although the judge heard ar
guments on motions filed in the
case. he indicated he would make
final disposition in the matter.
He said he could either uphold
the States motions to dismiss
the case or he could deny the
motion and, in denying IT., enter
a Judgment for the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs are seeking a
judgment ordering the Arlington
School Board to stop assigning
pupils to schools on the basis of
race.
Racial Figures Asked
Before ending the hearing,
Judge Bryan asked for figures
on the numbers of white and
Negro pupils in Arlington and
the number of buildings for each.
Data produced by county Off
cialS showed estimated figures
for the coming school year of
III 900 white students and LAS
Negroes. There are 43 buildings
for whites and four for Negroes.
Arguments in the case revolved
around three major issues:
Whether Virginia has been
moving fast enough in complying
with the Supreme Court edict
banning segregation by race.
Whether the some so plaintiffs
listed by the NAACP in the suit
had exhausted all their State
remedies on their alleged aggriev-
ances before resorting to the Fed
eral Court action.
Whether the suit should be
thrown out because the State had
not given its consent to be sued.
Almond Argues For State
Attorneys for the State and
county-Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond, jr.; James H.
Simmonds, Henry Wickham and
Frank L. Ball, ST., argued that
Virginia has made a start toward
adjusting to the Supreme Court
decision.
Mr.. Almond said the Federal
decisions on the race issue do
not require indignation" He
said "a reasonable and prompt
start has been made in an effort
to effect an adjustment within
the framework of the law, with
the objective, if possible, to pre-
serve the efficiency of the public
school system of Virginia"

The secondary plant is techni-
cally known as a high rate aera-

only a relatively small portion Of
the sewage particles to settle out
in a series of big tanks.
Load Measured
The secondary system will
blow air particles through the
sewage after it has received its
present preliminary settling
After the aeration, there will be
final settling tanks.
Mr.. Aud estimated that 275,-

Arlington Case
Argument Hints
Officials Stand
BY PAUL HOPE

Gov. OCanleyS proposal 70
scrap VirginiR's pupil assign
ment plan may run into oppo-
sition from the States top legal
officer, it was indicated today
in the wake of arguments yes
terday on the Arlington deSeg-
regation case.
There also were predictions by
one of the attorneys defending
the Arlington School Board that
Virginia will not follow the ex-
IRENE policy recommended by
the Governor in resisting the
Supreme Court edict banning
segregation by race in public
schools.
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond, jr., implied by his COM
ments in and out Of Alexandria
Federal Court yesterday that
Virginia must find some way of
assigning pupils to schools other
than by race.
Any Indignation Opposed
This is what the proposed
pupil assignment plan of the
Gray Commission would do, and
Gov. Stanley has said he OPP
posed that plan because it con-
ceivably could permit some in
tegration. He said he will ask
the August 81 special session of
the General Assembly to let him
withhold funds from any local.
ity that moves to integrate.
In court Mr.. Almond, who
probably will be candidate for
Governor next year, said Vir-
ginia had made a reasonable
and prompt start to effect and
adjustment" in relation to the
Supreme Court edict. He said:
There are numerous factors
besides race which can be the
basis of assigning pupils-re-
sidence, facilities, health, aca-
demic standing, mental attain
ment."
These are among the factors
LISTED in the Gray Commission
pupil assignment plan that the
Governor would scrap.
Court Recognition
2 Pupil assignment for reasons
5 other than race also was rec
J lognized by Federal Court Judge
John Paul, who, on July IL,
directed Charlottesville school
authorities to make plans for de-
segregation in September. He
said desegregation decree
wouldn't mean that the doors of
all schools would be opened to
anyone who wanted to get in. He
said that while children couldn't
be segregated because of race,
there were other factors that
could be considered. such as re-
Sidence, crowded conditions of
schools and student qualif1ca-
lions.
Asked if he was in sympathy
with Gov. Stanley's plan to seek
authority to withhold funds
from localities, Mr.. Almond said,
1T is not my job to sympathize
one way or another. 1t is my
job to give legal advice"
Asked if he gave Gov. Stanley
illegal advice" on Withholding
funds, he said he discussed" it
with him.
Frank L. Ball, ST., former Ar
lington State senator and asso-
ciate counsel in the case, told
the court that the Governor
does not fix State policy"
Mr.. Ball said he believed the
extremists on both sides will be
passed over" and the 'moderates
will prevail" when the General
Assembly meets next month.
MY prediction is that we will
preserve our school system" Mr..
Ball said.

Agree
To Push Newer
OF Bridge Sites
Sturt Held Unlikely
Before Return of
Congress, However

District and Federal officials
concerned with construction of
the proposed Constitution avenue
bridge agreed at meeting yes
terday to push for the new route
across Roosevelt Island.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
engineer commissioner. said this
means VERY little likelihood" of
a start on the bridge before Con-
gress comes back in January.
The city has $50 million to
begin construction of the six
lane bridge near the end of Con-
stitution avenue NV.
Congress adjourned without
approving the new route over
Roosevelt Island, although actu-
ally both the House and Senate
had approved the route change.
In conference, however, the
House insisted that a $1.9 million
draw span be required in the
bridge. The Senate refused to
go along, so no action was taken
on the crucial conference report.
No Span Mentioned
The legislation would have
amended a 1854 act of Congress
placing the bridge site between
Arlington Memorial Bridge and
the southern tip of Roosevelt
Island. The act did not say
whether there should be a draw
span.
Gen. Lane said, after yester-
days meeting. that all present
felt very strongly" that every
thing possible should be done to
proceed with construction on the
Roosevelt Island site.
No one at the meeting had any
very explicit" idea of how to
accomplish this. except to get in
touch with those. who objected
to the amendment and see if
some agreement can be reached,
he added.
1t was indicated the Fine Arts
Commission would oppose pro-
ceeding at the Constitution ave-
nue. site below the island, which
the city apparently is now free
to do. since the 1854 act is still
in effect.
Bound BY Old Site
Gen. Lane said, however, that
If the authorization for the new
site cannot be obtained the
crossing presumably Is bound to
the old site.
Some planning has been done
for the new site, and a return
to the old location would mean
further planning.
City officials point out that.
under the law, the Army Corps
of Engineers is required to study
and decide on the question of a
draw span on a bridge.
Present at yesterdays meeting
in Gen Lanes Office were David

ert c. Horne, chief engineer of
