Pointing out that there were

I'VE are faced with a tWo-fold
problem: Prevention of future
failures and help for those who
already have failed. An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound

that smaller classes are the only
answer TO prevention.

added, could "wreak emotional

and defended school auditori-

The letter agreed with a de-

it can't be maintained in over
size classes.
Mrs. Fischer urged reorgan-
iizing the functions Of the Board

nues to be collected during the
present fiscal year.
This was done. and the report
was dated as of April 4. 1t
showed that the estimates of
city revenue for the year ending
June 80 next, would amount to
Sl399 million for the general
fund or S2.5 million or more
higher than had been estimated
when the 1857 budget was sub
mitted.
Some thought this decision
probably would help the District
when the time comes, probably
soon, when the District submits
an additional budget for public
works. amounting to about S13
million, now made possible by
enactment OF the new tax law
When that measure comes up,
1t is expected to include a re-
quest by the District for the
added SO million in the Federal
payment. in keeping with the
law raising the maximum of the
Federal share from $40 million
TO S23 million.
Give" to Get
On the Senate side, there was
a suggestion that, with some
easing of District financing as
shown by tax collections, it
would be better to forego a fight
with the House over the lost So
million and put the whole argu-
ment on approval of a full S23
million Federal share as a part
of the bargain" when city taxes
were jumped by $40 million OF
more.
In other actions, the Senate
committee yesterday approved
about Sg.4 million for the Dis
trict, mostly to cover lcgislated
pay raises granted by Congress
last year
The Senate group made only
one change in the House bill
This was to restore an item OF
$4,000 stricken by the House
from an extra grant of funds fol
medical charities for the present
fiscal year.

Latest Reply to Lane
Hits School Proposal

Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
District Engineer Commissioner,
has received another reply to his
proposal to revamp District pub
lie schooling.
Mrs. Max J. Fischer, parent
teacher association leader at
Oyster Elementary School. to-
day made public a letter taking
issue with the Commissioner S
views.
Mrs. Fischer was one of three
civic leaders to whom Gen. Lane
recently sent memorandum
critical of the District school
systems promotion policy and
Iother matters.
The other recipients, John B.
IGlllilland, president OF the Dis
Itrict Congress of Parents and
Teachers, and Mrs. Henry Mum
roe. president of the District
League of Women Voters, al
ready have made replies public.
Both also disagreed with Gen
Lane.
Basic Difference
you and l seem TO have a
basic difference in the philosophy
of education" Mrs Fischer told
Gen. Lane in her letter.
The PTA member, mother of
three school children, said she
regarded the objective of public
schools as doing the most for
each individual to fit him for
life Gen. Lane has indicated
he considers this too broad a
goal.
She also objected to a Lane
proposal for demoting tagging
pupils, asserting that, instead,
classes should be made smaller
so children can be given more
individual hep.
1T is impossible, today, for a
teacher to give her best because
of class sizes" Mrs. Fischer's let

and E streets NV.
1t is expected that Municipal
Court Chief Judge Leonard 2,
Walsh will adopt much Of the
current court rules and pro-
cedure. But Judge Walsh has
said that he will study the ad-
visibility of inStltuting pre-trial
procedure in divorce cases. This
would be sharp departure from
current court practice.
Would End Rotating
The bill allows Judge Walsh to
use domestic relations branch
judges for other Municipal Court
work and abolished the current
practice of rotation of Judges.
The bill also provides that the
current backlog of domestic cases
on the District Court calendar
will remain in District Court.
Only those cases filed 80 days
after the appointment of the new
judges to the Domestic Relations
Branch will be heard by the new
court. A District Court spokeS-
man estimated there were about
$500 domestic cases pending at
this time.
1t is estimated that the cost of
operating the Domestic Relations
Branch will be about S112,050 a
year Each new Judge will re-
ceive $l7,500 a year.
The Domestic Relations
Branch will handle limited and
absolute divorces. annulments,
maintenance suits, CUSTODY
cases. adoption proceedings and
related actions.
Pre- Trial Procedure
If pre-trial procedure is
adopted, it would approximate
methods cut from the bill which
would have provided for recon-
citation hearings. In support
of pre-trial hearings. Judge
Walsh stated the possibility of
reconciliation will be exhausted
at such hearings"
The purpose of trial hear
ings is to define facts in the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-11

pending cases with the aim of
shortening the length of the
trial At such hearings, attor-
neys make StipulationS relating
to basic facts in the case and
agree to admission of certain
evidence.
Judge Walsh said he did not
forSee any difficulty in institute
ing pre-trial hearings. despite
objections made by some at
torneys at congressional hear
ings on the bill.
Survey Made on Space
In a survey of existing space
available to house the new
branch, Clerk of the Court Wal
ter F. Bramhall suggested the
use of two unfinished court
rooms in the Civil Division. One
of the rooms is being used &C.
casionally by District Tax Court
Judge 10 V. Morgan. The other
is reserved for overflow cases.
Neither has been fitted with
permanent benches or paneling.
Mr.. Bramhall pointed out that
although there is sufficient space
now available in the criminal
division, considerable moving
and expensive structural changes
would be necessary to provide
room for the new branch. If the
domestic relations branch were
to be installed in the criminal
division. Mr.. Bramhall said, the
Central Violations Bureau, re-
Gently created at a cost of more
than $4,000. would have to be
moved No funds for such a
move would be forthcoming, he
said.
Speculation among local at
torneyS over the nominees for
the three new benches is widely
varied. Many are of the opinion
that at least one of the posts
will go to a divorce case special
iSt. 1t seems certain that one
bench will go to a Negro. mas
much as about half of domestic
relations litigantS are colored.

Inside Story Of
Outer BuIdoniu
BY JACK JONAS

The principality of Outer
Baldonia, a fun-loving little
isle, is having trouble with
people who insist on taking it
too seriously.
Just recently" Miss Flor
ence McGinnisS said, "a lady
who was doing a series of tele-
vision shows about the en-
baSSieS of Washington called
to inquire about doing a show
on our legation.
"She was so serious, ! hated
to tell her"
Miss McGinniSS works for
Russell Arundel, a soft drink
bother here, who is also Prince
Russell I, Prince of Princes of
Outer Baldonia. three-acre
island off Nova Scotia. It's
about the size of Sycamore
Island in the Potomac off
Glen Echo Heights.
The island was known as
Outer Bald Tusket, or Outer
Badly, until Mr.. Arundel heard
it was for sale for $3.50. He
bought it. changed the name
to Outer Baldonia, whipped up
a constitution. declared him
self Prince of Princes, and set
about creating a retreat for
blue fin tuna fishermen.
He built. on the treeleSs
island, a 30-by-40-foot stone
clubhouSe-"the worlds only
example of Outer Baldonian
architecture" importuned
Rand-McNally to put the is
land on the map, declared
there would be only one class
-upper-and granted his yet
to-be subjects such rights as
freedom from taxes, women
and international entangle-
mentS.

THE FRENCH Embassy then

THE FRENCH Embassy then
called, to inquire politely if
the principally planned to
draft a reply, and Miss Nc
Ginniss had to explain.
Prince Russell I did draft a
sort Of reply, hearty invita-
ton to the articles author to
visit the principally during
the blue fin tuna season. He
learned the author was a
woman, and magnanimouSly
waived for the visit the prin-
eipality's ban on women. He
got no answer.
The State Department
called, too, shortly after the
number was listed in the
Washington telephone book,
to inquire about the principal
exports of Outer Baldonia.
Miss McGinniss told them
sheep, tuna, guano and empty
bottles-and then explained,
again.
Not long ago, the Civil De-
Tense people called and
wanted to know if the prin-
cipality would be interested in
receiving a supply of booklets
on how to build an atom bomb
shelter.
Again, Miss McGinniss eX-
planned.
The atom bomb shelters
would be of little use, anyway,
because the Prince of Princes
sternly admonishes his secre-
tary of state to keep the peace,
and if there's a war, to get it
over with quickly and not to
let it disturb the pastimes Of
the Prince of Princes.
