Board 10 Seek
Playground Site

The District Recreation Board
yesterday voted to make a play
ground out of 4.8 acres at Fox
hall road and Macarthur boule-
ward.
The property. 3.9 acres of
which is now part of the Hardy
Elementary School grounds. is
part of a 145-acre area selected
for redevelopment by the Dis
trict Government.
George Wilson, director of
planning for the Recreation De-
partment. said the playground
project would cost from $1,000
to 100000. The property would
be transferred to the Recreation
Board. Nine-tenths of an acre
would be purchased from private
owners.
The land is now in "deplorable
condition" and of no use to the
school, said Milo Christensen,
recreation superintendent. 1t.
Col. Robert E. Mathe, assistants
Engineer Commissioner for ur-
ban renewal, said the Foxhall-
Macarthur triangle is a test"
area to see if isolated pockets of
blight can be overcome with
out using Redevelopment Land
Agency machinery.
He said District officials will
go before the Board of Educa-
TONS buildings and grounds
committee to request the prop
erty transfer. Work could begin
as soon as that board approved
and the Recreation board pro-
ylded money, he declared.
The recreation board approved
a resolution asking for restora-
ton of facilities that would be
lost through construction Of the
proposed Anacostia Freeway.
Mr.. Christensen said baseball
fields. which would be the prin-
cipal recreation facilities af-
fected, could be reconstructed
north Of the freeway.

DOWN THE DRAIN went
the idea that vacation time
was no time for acting. To
prove it, he and 80 teen
ayers staged a summer revue
OF original music and skits,
titled, appropriately, "Vaca-
ton Time
Its success broke the dam
of shyness. When tryouts
were held for the three-act
comedy And Never Been
Kissed" more than so hope
full actors and technicians
showed up.
That's the show that's being
staged Friday and Saturday
nights at the Thomas Jeffer-
son Junior High School.
Thirty of the SO hopefuls are
taking part, and the others
are champing at the bit,
waiting for the next show.
At present, there are more
girls than boys in the group.
But even the traditional shy
ness Of the teen-age ooy is
being overcome by the Teen
Theater.

Fuirfux BUYS
IT ruiIer for
School Use

The Fairfax County School
Board, faced with a rapidly bur-
geoning enrolment in the North
Springfield area, has bought a
trailer to serve as an emergency
classroom.
The shiny steel-and- aluminium
vehicle, II feet wide and As
feet long. has room for a full
size class of 80 pupils.
More than 780 homes have
been built in the area in the
past 10 months, about 430 in
Crestwood Park and $50 in
North Springfield.
The classroom on wheels, de-
livered to its site in the 740O
block of Axton street yesterday,
win supplement other temporary
classroomS in five converted
houses. A 20-room permanent
school building under construc-
ton nearby is scheduled to be
finished next September.
Move Likely Next Year
Robert Walker, school spokes-
man, said the county school
board unanimously agreed to the
emergency action in a telephone
poll last week after being in
formed that dozen too many
pupils had shown up for the al
ready crowded quarters.
Next year, Mr.. Walker said.
the trailer doubtless will be
moved to some other community
where there is a school-space
emergency.
The trailer was designed and
built for the American Trailer
Co. of Washington. 1t is the
first of its kind sold by the
company.
Joseph B. Boiseau, secretary
treasurer of the company, said
yesterday the vehicle is an ex-
detrimental idea which the COM
Ipany hopes will be welcomed by
other school systems.
The county is paying about
81 500 for it, Mr.. Boiseau said
The school system is planning
to install its own standard desks
and other equipment.
Only One Here
Mr.. Walker said he understood
a similar trailer has been in use
in Canada, but did not know of
any Others in use in this region.
The school official gave some
figures that give a hint as to
why the emergency move was
thought necessary. Fairfax pub
lie school enrolment has climbed
from 20.595 to more than 3d.
600 since World War II. BY 1860,
Mr.. Walker said, the total is
expected to reach $4,000. School
construction isn't keeping UP.

as outlined by Attorney James C.
Wilkes. Mr.. Jordan said the area
suffers from traffic CONNECTION
now and said the population in
crease would overburden school
facilities.
The zoning Advisory Council
asked the commission to post
pone decision in another case
until agreement on plans for the
renewal of the Foggy Bottom
area, and agreement on SUCCESS
ton to change the route of the
proposed west leg of the inner
loop highway to permit estab-
lishment of civic auditorium
in the area.
Laundry Asked zoning Change
This came as the Sterling
Laundry, at Twenty-seventh
and L streets NV. requested a
coming change to let it build
a one-story garage with roof
parking to accommodate "a
trucks plus a small area for the
storage of finished dry cleaning.
Mr. Wilkes charged that it
would be unfair" "if" redevel-
opment plans are to be used to
straightjacket a neighborhood
when the plans may never be
used"
The Dupont Plaza Hotel also
requested change to let it con-
struct a banquet room for 300
persons in the inner court Of
the building at 1900 New Hamp-
shire avenue NV.
The Commission also took
under consideration a proposal
to prohibit construction of pub
lie storage garages in areas
zoned for "B" restricted, as is
the case in other home residen-
tlal areas.

The
Rambler
Teen Theuter
Natures Fast
By JACK JONAS

The once-shrinking grease
paint violets of Arlington have
blossomed boldly during a
year Of tribulation.
AS a result, a unique theater
group goes on the boards FRI
day with its first full length
production.
It's the Teen Theater of the
Arlington County Department
of Recreation and Parks, born
in the fall a year ago and
believed the only one of its
kind in America.
1t has a rather shaky one
act play and more popular
summer revue under its belt,
and its participants no longer
cringe at the prospect of
coming out on the stage in
front of all those people-in-
stead, they're eager for it.
All of the technical crew
and actors are teen-agers.
The theatrical group now
numbers about so, long way
from the dozen who showed
up in the fall of 1855 when
Miss Jan Chreitzberg, the
Teen Theater's founder, and
Mrs. Marjorie Hopkins, the
Recreation Departm n is
supervisor of special events,
held the organization meet
ing.
When the two ladies made
a recount of potential acting
and technical talent, they
wound up with eight instead
of a dozen, because four had
"just come along with
friends"
There was enough, anyway,
to work up a one-act play
entitled Soap Opera" That
one was presented in a depart
ment store auditorium and at
two Arlington schools.

a three-Judge FEDERAL court TO
For the time being, at leas
Hutchinson held that he alone
would continue to hear argu-
ments on the States attempt to
dismiss the suit in the first legal
test of the new school segrega-
ton laws passed by a recent
special session of the General
Assembly.
Prince Edward, which is about
half white and half Negro, is
more under the gun on the
racial issue than any other Vir-
ginia community. 1t was one of
the original five involved in suits
before the Supreme Court, which
resulted in the DEGREES of 1854
and 1855 outlawing racial seq
regation in public schools.
The county, whose white cit
liens say they will close the
schools before mixing the races,
has done nothing in more than
a year and a half to comply
with the Supreme Courts order
to move toward desegregation
with all deliberate speed"
New Law Held Adequate
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond, jr.. and T. Justin
Moore, ST.. counsel for the Prince
Edward County School Board,
seek dismissal of the suit on the
ground a new pupil assignment
law provides adequate admins
trative remedies for Negroes.
The law is part of a four
page package program enacted
by a special session of the Gen.
eral Assembly, which adjourned
on September %. The avowed
purpose of the program was to
preserve segregation in the pub
lie schools.
Mr.. Moore told the court that
the package of bills lis consistent
and a logical approach to a very
grave problem that has been
facing the people of Virginia for
the last two and one-half years.
Earlier. Mr.. Moore asked that
a three-judge court be recon-
vened because, he said, counsel
for the Negro parents and chill
dren In Prince Edward were, in
effect. seeking an injunction and
also were challenging the censti-
nationality Of the new State laws
In either case, he contended
a three-judge court was neces-
sary to rule on the questions.
Plaintiff Attorney Heard
Thurgood Marshall, of New
York, one of the attorneys fol-
the Negro plaintiffs, denied that
any further restraint is being
sought in the form of an injunc-
ton. He said he merely was
attempting to obtain relief by
the enlargement of an injunctive
order previously issued by the
court.
Only yesterday. Spottswood
w. Robinson, III, Of Richmond
another attorney for the Me-
groes, filed an answer with the
court declaring that the new
plan to preserve public school
segregation is invalid on its
face"
The new pupil assignment Law
does not become effective until
December 20. 1t places the re-
sponsibility for student assign
ments in the hands of a three
member board. to be appointed
by the Governor. Appeals of as
signments can be taken to the
Governor and then through the
State courts.
Stress Overall Policy
Mr.. Almond and Mr.. Moore
contend the Negroes have moi
availed themselves of the APP
peals available to them under
the law.
Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Mar
shall argue that the assignment
plan, even though it does not
mention race as a factor in
placing students in specific
scools. is only one phase OF the
overall State policy. admitted by
Gov. Stanley and legislators. to
preserve racial segregation.

WITH ONE PLAY to its
credit, the group next ambi-
tiously tried a three-act
mystery. But stage fright
seemed to have set in all
over Arlington. Nobody showed
up for the tryouts.
So the Teen Theater went
back to the one-act- play idea.
But again there were casting
difficulties, and when the
casting was finally completed,
It was vacation time, and no
time to put the play on.
Regeneration started when a
couple of adult actors met on
the stage of the Falls Church
Community Theater. One was
Mrs. Hopkins, playing the lead
in that theater's production.
The other was John Draper,
a young veteran of the pre-
fesSional stage, playing OPP
posite her.
Mr.. Draper had been on
and of the stage since he
was 7. When World War II
began, he and his sister
signed on with a USO troupe
the youngest ever to do so.
When he was old. enough,
he enlisted in the Navy, and
Directed two Navy musicals
at the Great Lakes Training
Center.
After the war he was of
to Hollywood, acting and
doing television and night
club stands. But in 1850 he
fell i'll, and he came back to
his home in Washington.
Eventually, as his health i'm
proved, he drifted again into
acting, with little theater
groups.
AS a result of the talk at the
Falls Church production Mr..
Draper--now office manager
for an Arlington real estate
company-took over director
ship of the Teen Theater.
