Mann have introduced similar
bills under which three-member
boards appointed by the Gov
; ernor would handle the pupil
. assignments to schools.
The school board, without re-
, ferring to either of the two leg
islators by name, took the stand
|, after a closed session last night.
In a statement issued today.
the board said that:
This situation (the three
member board proposaD would
create for the school admins
tration problems which would
disrupt the school system.
1T would render the school
board ineffective in the perform
ance Of it's duties.
I'VE sincerely hope that the
Legislation which evolves from
this session of the General As
sembly will make possible the
preservation of the public schools
without change in present meth
Iods of operation and financing"
Authority" Seen Cut
The revisions to the original
Gray Commissions pupil assign
ment plan, as suggested by Sena-
tor Fenwick and Mr.. Mann.
would eliminate authority" that
lis "basic to the operation Of any
school system" the board said.
l 1T (the assignment power) as
; sumes a special significance in q
. community such as Arlington,
which continues to grow and in
which there are frequent shifts
, of population" according to the
board statement.
The statement went on to say
that the policy decisions which
: determine the assignment Of
pupils affect the heart of the
/ school system"
! The board last winter pro-
posed an integration program
but dropped it because of oppo-
sition by State legislators.
: Point to Responsibility
u The boards statement, re-
: leased by Mrs. Barbara Riches.
!, vice chairman, said that with the
e establishment of the suggested
three-member board there would
be two bodies authorized to make
school policies-the one appoint
ed by the Governor and the local
board. Under this dual setup,
the school board still would be
legally responsible for the total
school program.
Asked to comment on the
S school boards statement. Sena-
\ tor Fenwick replied that there
would be certain disadvantages
to his legislative proposal but
that, all factors considered, it
was needed to save the school
/ system.
Senator Fenwick said that:
"Under the Governors proposed
legislation, the only alternative
! given to a community under
court orders to desegregate is
I defiance of the court or opera
ton of the schools on local
taxes. which in most communi-
ties would mean closing the pub.
lie school system.
Senator Fenwick went on to
say that establishment of an as
Signment board appointed by the
Governor would probably re-
! suit in a less efficient operation"
but that it would save the
school system of Virginia"
The pending legislation, he
pointed out. is subject to further
, study and modification.

Proposed
For New D. {.
Court
Interested Parties
Will Discuss
Procedures Sept. 5

proposed rules governing tne
procedure of handling cases and
records of Washington's Domes-
tic Relations Court yesterday
were released by the three judges
of this new wing of the Munich
pal Court.
One of the overriding con-
Germs of the IA regulations is
Ito exhaust every possibility of
reconciliation between the par
ties of a broken home.
Another principal aim is an
assurance that records be made
available only to court officials
and those parties having a legiti-
mate interest in the case.
The proposals are being dis
tributed to the city's bar asso-
Citations and other groups and
individuals concerned with the
operation Of the new court.
Municipal Court Chief Judge
Leonard P. Walsh has set 2 pm
September 5 for a discussion
among the judges and these in
terested parties and groups to
obtain reaction to the proposals
The session will be held in civil
division courtroom No. /.
Major Recommendations
Among the major recommen-
dations are:
/. Informal hearing by one OF
the three judges in all cases as
a step toward reconciling man
and wife short of formal court
action.
2. A 90-day cooling off" peri
cd dating from the filing CT the
marital complaint.
8. And a requirement that
answers must be filed to the
formal complaint in all cases.
The proposed rule on safe
guarding court records reads:
mo person other than a men,
ber of the clerks Office or a duly
designated agent of a title COM
pany shall be permitted behind
the counter in the clerks office
or shall have access to the files
of this court. The files of all
adoption cases shall be sealed
as by statute provided"
Reason Explained
While on its face this provision
would seem to imply an "Iror
lCurtain" type of public ban, 9
thigh official of the court ex'
lplained that it is aimed against
iindiscriminate public scrutiny
of records.
/ Under the former jurisdiction
lof D. s. District Court for thl
District of Columbia, domestit
relations case records were pro-
ltected in a similar fashion.
The spokesman of the new
court pointed out specifically thai
the court is prohibited from es'
tablishing a sweeping bar of the
public from its files.
It is proposed that before q
formal compaint is filed, either
a husband or wife may apply
fora conference with a judge
for the purpose Of reconciliation
No fee will be charged for this
Attendance of interested parties
ior material witness would be
enforced by subpoena.
Questions Listed
The proposed form for the pc
Itition for reconciliation contains
such questions as these:
Do you want a divorce?
Do you believe defendant
wants a divorce?
Have you ever consulted your
religious leader or pastor re-
garding your difficulty?
Condition of your physical
and mental health?
What is the nature of trouble
between you and when did il
start?
Litigants also would be asked
to indicate whether trouble
exists because of excessive use
of liquor. financial problems
other women or other men
health, jealousy. interference BY
in-laws, physical abuse. abuse oi
children, gam bling, nagging
crime involvement, immaturity

Stop q Clock
By JACK JONAS

At the time this happened
there were no thoughts in the
mind of Freddie Haas of spy
ing, espionage or interna-
tional intrigue.
Mr.. Haas, in the malt busi-
ness here, made a flying trip
to Germany recently to look
over some machinery he
wanted to buy.
He wasn't gone long, so he
travelled light. When he re-
turned, he still had his one
suitcase, and was ready for
quick clearance through GUS
toms.
But his wait was long. Pas
senger after passenger, with
many suitcases, had their
luggage cleared through the
customs officials, but still Mr..
Haas, with his one suitcase,
waited.
He sought out an airlines
official.
How Gomez" he asked.
The airlineS official asked
the customs man.
you've got some radio
active material in your suit
case" the customs man told
MIR. Haas.
II have?" Mr.. Haas was
mentally biting his finger
nails and beginning to wonder
who was using him as a patsy
to Smuggle in contraband.
"For heavens sake, man, let's
open it quick, and see what

They did, and there, nestled
in the laundry, was Mr.. Haas

Quickies

Democrats and Republicans
picked their presidential
nominees this year prompted
Lawrence Gouverneur Hoes
to stop by with a story about
another quick choice.
MIR. Hoes is a direct de-
scendant of James Monroe.
He brought with him the
original minutes of the Re-
publican caucus which NOM
mated his ancestor for Pres
ident on March Is, 1916.
The caucus was in the old
brick Capitol.
1t took an hour to pick
Monroe, Mr.. Hoes says. He
got IS votes against VIII
liam II. CrawfOrd's 81.
The caucus also cOnSid-
cred a couple of resolutions
to the effect that it was Gin
expedient to make in caucus
any recommendations to
the good people of the
United States" about who
should be President and
Vice President. But they
turned both of them down
and went ahead with their
nominating.
Twist
A fellow who lives up on
Twentieth street NV. read
our stories here about the man
who had trouble getting rid
of his pennies, and about the
coin-counting service at the
Treasury. He came up with
a tale of his own.
Last year, he said, he de-
cided to save those zinc
coated pennies put out in
1912 when copper was short
Then, when he got a sizeable
amount, he'd try to get on q
television show.
"Of course 1 had to enlist
outside help" he said, "ano
through the kindness of some
cafeteria cashiers, I managed
to get about 1900.
"Then I wrote my little
letter for an appearance or
the TV show, but alas, alack
and Alaska, was turned down
However, I still have them
safely tucked away. -.
"Of course, knowing that
would have no trouble getting
rid of them any time I was
ready was a big help, because

a bag and take them there
