Tuition Grant
Plan Attacked

The tuition grant proposals OF
the Gray report are completely
unconstitutional" a lawyer told
members Of the Brandon Junior
High School PTA last night.
Herbert Thatcher. who has
argued more than 20 cases be-
fore the Supreme Court, de-
clared he strongly" felt that
the high court would rule pay
ment of public funds for private
schools a violation of the Fed
eral Constitution.
The Constitution provides
that taxation can only be i'm
posed for public uses" he said,
In his opinion, 1.-The Supreme
Court will not be concerned with
Ilegalities" to avoid its ruling ia
Ivoring progress toward school
Iintegration-"it will look to the
practical effect Of what is being
done"
George Damn, former dele
gate, answered that 1t was too
soon to predict how the court
would rule on the grant propos-
ais and that many constitu-
tional lawyers in Virginia feel
the plan is constitutional"
The grant provision would
leave to parents the final de-
cision as to where to send their
children to school, Mr.. Damn
said. He added that "95 per
cent" of school placements will
be solved on "a voluntary
basis"

William l.. Winston. delegate
elect from Arlington, argued
that "a vote against the plan is
a vote which will deprive many
children Of any opportunity for
school whatever"

clergymen not citizens Of the

Are Lonesome Now

The old canal is a friend
less place in January.
1t winds out of Georgetown
and up along the river with
the same twists and bends
it has in summer, but the
summer dress and gentle
wind that lure the light
heart are gone.
The wind now is raw and
cold, nipping the spirit. The
trees and underbrush that
formed a green arbor along
its banks in summer now
make a bleak, tangled thicket
by its sides. They form a
thousand patterns for the
imaginative mind.
Ice-a thin, crusty ice partly
submerged-lines the canals
edge. Brown stems of once
Towering plants poke through
the ice, waiting for another

PARKS MAN ambles along,
head down, beneath the
arches Of the overpass that
leads out of the Whitehurst
Freeway, spearing paper and
other rubbish with his point
ed stick and dumping it into
a sack slung over his Shout
der.
Beside the overpasses the
old abutments Of the one-time
Aqueduct Bridge jut out to-
ward the river, with little
more than the sidewalks and
the iron ratings intact.
Autos and trucks pass the
canal swiftly on one side
along Macarthur boulevard
and Canal road, as If in a
hurry to get away.
On the other side, a freight
train rumbles slowly past, its
yard engine pushing loaded
cars into K street. 1t seems
an insult that there are no
Chesapeake & Ohio cars
among them. The diesel
engines blatant horn sounds
as disturbing as the air raid
sirens at noon downtown.
A more fitting note comes
from the chimes of a tower
clock somewhere in George
town.
Brown leaves lie matted be-
side the towpath, there so
long now that the wind no
longer disturbs them. A few
leaves still hold a tenacious
grip on the branches.
A man walks his dog tenta-
lively along the towpath look
ing for something. He finds 1t
"a path leading to the
river--and what seemed like a
pair of friends are gone. Later,
the man and his dog are seen

THE RARE VISITORS to the

THE RARE VISITORS to the
canal seem bent on official
business.
An automobile, with the
United States Park Service
legend on its side, pokes its
way cautiously along the tow
path, wary of mudholes and
dead limbs.
A half a mile farther
along, two autos and a truck
stand beside the towpath. An
air compressor is mounted on
the truck. and its long hose
leads down the steep bank
toward the river, where a crew
of workmen are chipping
away at a piece of concrete.
There is some evidence of
other visitors, but whether
they were official is hard to
determine. Horseshoes have
chewed through the brown
earth of the path for a long
way above Georgetown, with
one trail up and one down.
And there are prints made by
a pair Of crepe-soled shoes.
