Board on Pupil
Assignment
Efforts to SheIve
Program Tied to
Desegreqution Vote

| Arlington Delegate Harrison
Mann said today that the county
school board is to blame for cur
rent efforts to shelve the original
pupil assignment plan in favor
of more stringent prosegrega-
ton legislation.
! The Arlington School Boards
mistake. Mr.. Mann said, was its
Idesegregation vote last January.
These remarks came in reply
to a board statement criticizing
the revised" pupil assignment
bill introduced in the General
Assembly's special session by Mr..
Mann and State Senator Charles
r. Fenwick.
The proposal introduced by the
two Arlington legislators would
transfer the pupil assignment
power from school officials to a
three-member board appointed
by the Governor.
See System Disrupted
Yesterday, Arlington School
Board members said such a plan
would disrupt the school sys-
tenn" by taking away authority
that sis basic to the operation
of any school system"
Board members said they OBJ
Ijected to a setup with two
boards-one appointed by the
Governor to make assignments
and the other locally appointed
and legally responsible for the
total school program.
Gov. Stanley has suggested
that legislation be enacted which
would authorize the withholding
of State funds from any COM
munity that integrateS its class
rooms.
In his statement. Mr.. Mann
said:
The situation is completely
fluid. Our problem is to find
a solution acceptable to the
General Assembly in order to
defeat the Governors proposal.
I'VE feel that the assignment
bill can be amended to provide
for no overlap in authority and
leave routine assignment within
control of the school superin-
ltendent, thus avoiding incon-
venience and disruption.
"All other assignments would
go to the assignment board"
Hits Directly at Board
Mr.. Mann then turned his
fire directly on the Arlington
School Board by ruling:
I'VE would not have this
problem with respect to pupil
assignment plan If the Arlington
School Board had not indicated
last January it was going to
use the assignment plan to pro-
mote indignation.
when the rest Of the State
saw what would happen under
the assignment plan operated
solely by the school boards the
whole assignment idea came into
complete disrepute."

$8.3t Million Sought
BY Fire Department
Budget Request
Contuins Plea
For Horbor Boat

The District Fire Department,
with a total budget request of
1913 million for fiscal 1858, again
is going after a new fire boat
for its harbor operations.
The request occupies first
spot on the departments list Of
four capital outlay items total
ing $1.361 900. Although it
amounts to "only" a 100000, it
seems to be an acquisition dear
to the fire-fighters. Congress
disallowed the same request last
session.
The William T. Belt, the pres
ent boat, was obtained from the
Coast Guard about 10 years
ago. 1t is now the victim of
rotted planking below decks. To
repair the hull would cost an
estimated SCI, 400, nearly two
thirds the cost of a new craft.
Manpower Saving
A modern steel-hulled fireboat.
moreover, could be stated by
one fewer operating position,
which would mean three fewer
crewmen. Over an eight-year
period, the savings in manpower
would amortize the cost of the
boat itself. Fire Chief Willard A.
Sutton pointed out.
The 43.mile Washington wa
terfront contains floating and
riparian properties valued at
we'll over $54 million, all of
which require fire protection, the
chief said. A new craft, he
added, would be able to get into
shallower water than the Will
liam T. Belt and with its steel
hull could serve as an icebreaker.
The big capital outlay re-
quests for fiscal 1858 are these:
l. Construction of a new com.
bined repair shop and Engine
Co. No. z station house between
First, One-half, K and L streets
IS.W, 1904. 900. The present sta
ton house must be relocated to
make room for Southwest rede-
velopment. The present repair
shop is inadequate and out
NODDED.
2. Construction of a new COM
bined station house for Engine
Co. No. %, Truck Co. No. 2 and
the I'd Battalion Chief at Twen-
ty-third and M streets NV.
Present Truck Q is located at
1181 New Hampshire avenue
NV. in the path Of the pro-
posed inner loop freeway. The
station, besides, is n years old.
Engine No. % now adjoins the
George Washington University
campus, on property highly de-
sired" by the university.
Would Plan School
The third remaining capital
outlay request is for ,$4l,500
planning money to build a new
training school on District
owned property at Blue Plains.
Present facilities at 639 North
Carolina avenue Sc. have been
Ioutgrown. Total construction for
the new school is $788, 500.
OF requested operating expense
increases, $223,756 would pay for
stating and equipping the new
fire station for Engine Co. 80
and Rescue Squad 8 when COM
Ipleted next year at Twenty
fourth and Irving streets Sc.
Two platoons of 10 men each
would require pay of $174,930.
A $4,000 sum is requested to
commence a f1ve-year 100000
program of rehabilitating exist
ing fire houses.

A 26-year-old Seat Pleasant
housewife was talked out of sui
eide early today by three Prince

chatted with her in her kitchen

heard Sergt. Dave Dudley and
Pics. John Stout and Robert

of her apartment building in
the 400 block of Seventy-first

backed off into the kitchen, with
q safety razor blade clutched in
one hand.
II saw some instant coffee on
the table and asked her to make
us some, so maybe we could dis
tract her." Pfc. Baeschlin said.
"She put the blade in her
mouth, declared she'd never turn
her back on any cops. and made
the coffee"
The woman then threatened
to kill herself right away if the
policemen did not close the door
to her husbands bedroom. The
officers complied. and the hus-
band slept through the entire
incident.

ton and coffee drinking, the trio
were able to take the razor from

Operation Deep
 Freeze Running Out of Gasoline
BY DON GUY

McMURDO SOUND, Antarc- tica, R-Operation Deep Freeze is running out of gas, and 75 U. s. Air Force crewmen are grinning about it.
 Instead of a white Christmas in Antarctica, they will fly 10 sunny New Zealand to fill the tanks of their mammoth 9O-ton C-124 Globemasters. There won't be many Christmas trees, but with summer just starting in that country they can bask on the beach for a day or two.
 The steady depletion of the big tanks at McMurdo Sound will not seriously hamper the job of building scientific stations for study of this icebound continent during the International Geo. physical Year.
 A tanker carrying 600,000 gal Ions is enroute here from New Zealand, following the US. Ice breaker Glacier through the Ant arctic ice pack.
 Meanwhile, the Air Force has decided to service its five Globe masters at Christchurch, N. z. That will give the crews brief respite from the Antaretic's per petual snow and cold.
 The Globemasters have been shuttling to the South Pole, 300 miles from here, to airdrop building material for US. base. Each trip consumes 5000 gallons of gasoline.

ter of Mrs. Matilda Johnson, be-
came the bride of James john
son, Jr. at 2 o'clock at Ebenezer
Methodist Church on last Sun

pastor, Rev. Aaron Hall. The
couple stood under an archway
of white flowers and greenery.
Standards of white flowers were
placed at either side of the arch
way. Mrs. Gladys Robinson Nc
Ford was organist and Mrs. Mar
guerite Miller, soloist.
The bride was radiant in a bal
lerina-length wedding gown of
white chantilly lace over white
satin. The low scooped neckline
was. edged with pearls. Long fit
ed sleeves ended in pearl out
lined points over the hands. The
very full skirt had a scalloped
hemline bordered with a full
pleated net border. A three
quarter length veil of illusion
net fell in graceful folds from a
lace tiara re-embroidered in
pearls and rhineStones. She car
ried a white Bible showered with
carnation. An uncle of the bride,
Ephraim E. Johnson, gave her in
marriage. Mrs. John Billiard, Jr.
a lifelong friend of the bride, was
the matron of honor. Mrs. Bull
lard wore an ice-blue lace frock
with fitted bodice and full skirt.
Her calot, slippers and mitts
were of satin in ice-blue. Velvet
accents were used on the dress.
Her nosegay was of pink carna-
tons. The bridesmaids, Miss ISa-
belle Hopkins and Miss Rose Mae
Ross wore aqua and pink reSpec-
lively. Their gowns were of Sa-
tin, styled on princess lines with
folds of the material outlining
an Empire bust line. Lace shrug
boleras covered the strapless
dresses. Accessorie matched the
gowns. Their calots were of sill
yer shot satin, their nosegays of
red roses. The three attendants
wore single strang pearl neck
laces and button earrings, gifts of
the bride.
Johnese Billiard and Barbara
Gardner both wearing ruffled
yellow organza dresses, head
bands OF tiny yellow flowers,
white shoes, yellow socks and
white shortie gloves served as
flower girls.
Samuel Johnson served as his
