Charlottesville case.
Granted Delay
Last Friday, Federal Judge
John Paul granted desegrega-
ton delay past the September
school term for Charlottesville
pending a Supreme Court deci-
sion on the placement statute.
At the same time, he agreed to
allow students to bypass the
procedures laid down in the
placement act.
Mr.. Brown reiterated that at
least Is or 20 Negro children
will apply for admission to
white schools in Arlington this
fall.
On the question of the pupil
placement law, Judge Bryan
said, in effect, that no Negro
children have tried to enter
white schools in Arlington since
the county was ordered to de-
segregate. Therefore, there
was nothing new for the court
to pass on at this time.

INDICATE SEVERE
WINTER KILL I'M AREA

Severe winter kill of bronze
and Kentucky blue grass has
been observed throughout the
valley, according to the Alaska
Agriculture Experiment Station
director, DR.. Allan Mick.
The kill was attributed, by DR..
Mick, to the lack of snow cover
in late January at which time
there was considerable icing
which stayed on the grass for
about six weeks. The kill was
caused, he said, by the lack of
insulation between the grass and
the ice layer.
The chances of getting good
lawns now, he stated, call for a
delay in planting until about
mid-July, when nature will pro-
baby take a hand in the irriga-
ton.
Through tests made at the sta
ton, Kentucky blue grass has
proven to be the hardest for this

mended by Station personnel. A

The scarcity of bona fide
apprenticeship opportunities in
the Washington area has been
blamed for the failure Of Gov
eminent agencies to give rea-
listic consideration to planned
apprenticeship programs meet
ing minimum standards.
This subject was brought up
by Ben T. Rome. employer
member, representing the
Washington Building Congress,
at the quarterly meeting of the
District Apprenticeship Coun-
Gil Friday.
Mr.. Rome told his colleagues:
"At present. there are about
1900 apprenticeship situations
on file with the council as
meeting minimum standards.
There are perhaps another TOO
situations in Government agen-
cies, public utilities and indus
tries that are not now CO.
operating that might meet
these standards. The council. of
course. cannot determine how
accurate this estimate is until
it has an opportunity to sur
vey the facilities of these shops
and establishments. The coun-
ellis technical staff is available
to all local employers and agen-
cies at any time"

premiership for the District of
Columbia. said on November l..
there were zoos apprentices
on the councils register serv-
ing in more than 100 manual
and mechanical trades. John
