The delegates crowded the
lobby for their last get-together
and snapped good-byS in many
tongues. Ernest Henderson,
president Of the Sheraton Corp
of America, gave the delegates
accented but appreciated greet
ings in Spanish. Italian. French
and German.
So Billion Business
He told them the hotel in
dustry will profit in the future
from a steadily rising per capita
income throughout many parts
ot the world. Hotel business In
the United States. he said, has
reached SO billion a year, "a
growth that has made possible
the building of large and sue
cessful hotels of $500 rooms and
2,007 giants of 5000 rooms"
The 43 Sheraton hotels in the
United States and Canada, he
said, have a gross annual value Of
over $3.50 million. He suggested
hotels work up an exchange pro.
gram, similar to that employed
for students and teachers. Hotel
men such as chefs, department
heads and room clerks, he OBJ
served, could profit by such ex-
changes.

Soar as Crowds
Jam Downtown
70 Extra Policemen
Moved in to UnsnurI
Near Tieup in Truffit

The Christmas shopping sea-
son opened nightly this week
end, with crowds Of shoppers
jamming streets and stores in a
nearly unprecedented display Of
buying spirit.
Since the day after Thanks
giving marks the "official" start
of the season. merchants were
prepared for a rush yesterday.
But what they got far exceeded
their expectations.
Gift buying was well ahead Of
this time last year, stores re-
ported. Theaters. restaurants and
traffic policemen handled a lot
Of the big turnout, too.
With traffic in downtown
streets threatening a near
Istandstill from IL am. to 8 PM.
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment stationed 70 extra men to
try to keep it moving.
Parking lot operators had
space available most of the day,
but complained that "the streets
were so damned many cars
couldn't get to u.s."
Winter Garments Move
Wintry temperatures. hover
ing around the freezing point
all day, were apparently re-
sponsible for a big surge in the
sale of heavy clothing. Stores
reported a run on winter coats
and hats and even snow toys.
Adding to the crush downtown
yesterday was the fact that
schools were out for the holiday
week end and youngsters con-
verged on stores and theaters
in the central area.
Christmas window displays,
now open in all the department
stores. drew thousands of fasci-
mated spectators.
Government workers contrib
uted to the crowds. Although
yesterday was a work day. many
employees decided to take leave
and stretch the holiday week end
over four full days.
Picks Up After Dinner
The jam eased of during the
dinner hour, with many shoppers
returning home for a meal or
crowding into restaurants. But
lit picked up again after that
and continued undated until
most stores closed at 9 pm.
Servicemen from nearby mill
tary bases helped swell the
crowds yesterday and today.
Although business leaders were
not ready to predict a record
shopping season on the basis Of
two days returns. they said that
the size of the crowds-bigger
than last years bumper crop. de-
spite the cold weather-is a
strong indication that more rec
ords may be broken.

Carrying Parcels
Mr.. Chalk also had asked per-
mission to use buses to carry
parcels when returning from the
downtown area after morning
rush hours. OF this, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said, 1.-THE Commission
ers see no difficulty" He added,
however, that the company
would have to apply to the util-
iCjes commission if this operation
should involve company claims
for relief from the city's Scent
a-gallon gasoline tax. Mr..
Chalk's 20-year, partly tax
exempt franchise will exempt
him from payment of the tax to
the extent that he does not earn
"a 6.5 per cent return.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the city
heads embarked a year ago on
a policy of wiping out curb park
ing whenever it is demonstrated
this is hindering the fow of

He noted that all Ut Mr..
Chalk's requests had been rec

Mrs. Riches
Autopsy Is


An investigation into the death
of Mrs. Barbara Riches, Airing
ton School Board member, con-
tinued today after an autopsy
repeatedly provided inconclusive
findings.
The autopsy showed "a rather
large percentage of nembutal in
the blood" along with IAN accu-
mutation Of fluid around the
heart" DR.. w. C. Welburn, coun-
ty medical examiner, said. Mem
butal is a barbiturate.
According to DR.. Welburn,
these two findings are unrelated
and the cause of death has not
yet been determined.
DR.. Welburn quoted Mrs.
Riches husband as saying she
had been accustomed to taking
several sleeping pills each night.
The body of Mrs. Riches, 81
was discovered Thursday at her
home, 3l40 North Seventeenth
street. Her husband, DR.. Crom-
well A. Riches. executive director
of the State Departments For
Ieign Service Board of Examiners,
learned Of her death when he
arrived at National Airport that
morning from a West Coast trip
AS to the nembutal, police said
Ia partially empty bottle of pills
was found in the bathroom OF
the Riches home. DR.. Welburn
identified the pills as nembutal
Officers said there we're about
is pills in the bottle, which had
Ia prescription dated last Satur-
day calling for so.
Detective 1t. Lynn Smith said
police are continuing to check
out various aspects of the case
in a parallel effort to the medi-
cal investigation. The informa-
ton from DR.. Welburn was

Chalk's proposals viewed in a

OF the request that the city
provide shelter and benches on
public land at bus stops, transfer
points and terminals, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said the District has no
appropriation for such spending.
He commended shelters should be
considered in individual cases at
specific locations and said il
would be impossible to build them
at some locations. Also, he noted
there are arguments against such
shelters because of possible mis-
use py individuals.
Cites Paving Arrangement

in Norfolk will be required to rule
rule on the constitutionality of
the States pupil assignment
plan. This plan is part of a pack
age of new laws enacted at a
special session of the General
Assembly last September.
Last week, Judge Walter E.
Hoffman considered motions to
dismiss desegregation sui t S
brought by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People against the Nor
folk and Newport News school
boards.
Restricted Arguments
Judge Hoffman restricted ar
guments almost exclusively to
the States now school legislation.
The State and the school boards
said the Negro plaintiffs had not
availed themselves of the new
pupil assignment plan and there
fore the suits should be dis
missed.
Similar motions to dismiss
could not be made in the Char
lottesville and Arlington desegre-
cation cases, however, because
orders already had been issued
in the cases now pending before
the General Assembly enacted
the new laws.
But Negro attorneys are ex-
pected to attempt to bring the

from integrated schools and clos
ing of integrated schools, into
their arguments at Baltimore.
Arlington's school board is ap-
Ipealing an order by District
Judge Albert v. Bryan of Alex
landria requiring the county's
elementary school to end racial
segregation by February l and
its high schools by next Septem-
Der l.
In an oral opinion, District
Judge John Paul ruled last July
IL that the Charlottesville schoo
board should plan to desegre-
gate at the term commencing
last September. His was the
first order setting a definite date
for schools in virginia since the
Supreme Court turned the i'm
fermentation of its decision over
to the Federal Courts.
On August %. Judge Pau
suspended his order pending the
appeal. The Arlington decree
has not been suspended.
In both suits, Arlington and
Charlottesville maintain in Their
appeals, supported by the State
that;
/. The Negroes are prohibited
by the 18th Amendment from
suing the State without its con
sent.
2. The plaintiffs have faileC
to prove a case on which tn,
courts can require desegrega'
ton.
4 3. The Negroes did not exhaus
their administrative remedies un
der the law as it existed at tn
time of their complaints.
Same Points
Substantially these same point
are cited by Norfolk and New
port News as grounds for dis
missal of the suits before Judg
Hoffman. They later amendet
their motions to cite the ney
pupil assignment plan as an ad
ditional ground.
For these reasons, Judge Hof
man indicated that if the appeal
court overrules Arlington an
Charlottesville, he would b
bound to rule similarly in tn
Newport News and Norfolk cases
on the other hand, If the highe
court upholds Arlington an
Charlottesville. Judge Hoffman
then would have the constitu
