Hacker Permit
Lost 2Weeks

A Washington taxi driver has
lost his license for two weeks
for altering insurance sstickers
required to be on his cab.
The District Commissioners
yesterday ordered the two-week
license suspension for Francis
J. Ryan Of 5016 South Dakota
avenue NE.
1t. Francis H. Dunn Of the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment's public vehicles unit said
Ryan recently twice altered
numbers on the stickers. Cab
drivers are required to get new
stickers weekly.
The cabs owner had refused
to give Ryan proper stickers be-
cause Ryan owed 1891 to the
owner, according to police.
1t. Dunn had recommended
outright revocation Of Ryan's
license. The Board Of Revoca-
ton and Review of Public We
hicles Licenses by a 3-to-2 vote,
recommended a 30-day suspen-
sion. however.
Lawrence E. Duvall, board
member and assistant to Com
missioner Robert E. Mclaughlin,
said the matter was taken to
the Commissioners because the
cab owner apparently was using
the sticker requirement to en-
force payment of a debt and
that this was improper.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he felt
lit was necessary to punish the
cab driver. even so.

BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Tap tap. tap tap tap, goes

The Rambler's daughter is
learning to type, something
she did not take before her
graduation from the academy.
She is practicing at home
after another day at Strayer's
College!
Tap tap tap, tap tap, it goes,
usually with rhythm, some
times not.
This is her first realization
of the exactitude demanded
in the workaday world of
business. Seventy per cent is
no longer passing. She is
striving to achieve go words a
minute with a tolerance less
than is per cent error. Ninety
eight and one-half is passing
and she is realizing that she
should do better.

State has carried to the appel
late court. The placement law
is part of the legislative program
Virginia adopted last fall TO
preserve segregated schools.
Federal Judge Walter Hoffman
ruled the placement law uncon-
stitutional on its face. principally
because OF other legislation
adopted at the time to close any
schools where integratlon occurs
and TO withhold State funds
from any locality which chooses
TO operate integrated schools.
In urging the Fourth Circuit
to upset Judge Hoffman's ruling.
the legal team representing the
State and the two cities argued
today that the placement law
was the product of the minds of
legislators who were not willing
TO adhere to the program pro-
posed by the Governor.
Governor Appointed Board
The placement law vests stu
dent assignment powers in a
three-member board appointed
by the Governor. 1t provides for
the assignment of students for a
variety Of reasons. excluding
race.
Since other legislation adopted
at the same time defines
efficient" schools as segregated
schools. Judge Hoffman reasoned
that the placement board would
be "derelict in its duty" to make
any integrated assignments. He
held, therefore. that the place
ment act was Just blind alley"
to prevent any indignation.
But the State brief in the
appeal contends that the def
milton of efficiency" in the
fund cutoff and school closing
bills does not apply to the place
ment law. The brief adds
If the day ever comes that a
Negro child can say he was kept
out of the school of his choice
because the placement board
used race in the definition OF eff
f1ciency as a borrowed standard
from tthe other laws that is
the day the appellees will have
valid case"
Define Efficient"

the-mine meaning Of proper
operation
Counsel for the State told the
three-Judge Federal court it was
common knowledge" that Gov
Stanley actually opposed enact
ment of the placement law, there
fore the effect of his bills should
not be taken into account when
passing on its validity.
Other principal contentious in
the State argument are:
!. The school closing bill is
not necessarily permanent. II
allows the Governor to take over
any schools where integration
occurs and close them, but il
also provides that the locality
can ask the Governor to STEP
out of the picture and let the
schools reopen.
.. Localities can operate in
tegrated schools without State
funds. In Newport News. only
29 per cent of school funds come
from the State. In Norfolk, the
percentage of State aid is %
per cent.
Cite Other Rulings
The State leaned heavily or
recent decisions involving new
school laws in North and South
Carolina. Both States have place
ment laws with the assignment
power left IN the hands of loca'
school boards. North Caroline
has no fund cutoff legislation
but South Carolina does. The
laws of both States have sur
vived litigation all the way to
the Supreme Court.
The fund cutoff question was
not argued in the South Carolina
case, however. and Judge Hoff-
man pointed out, in his decision
that the South Carolina law is
not exactly like Virginia S. II
Virginia. State funds must bC

assignment or by court order

of applies only in the latter case
But the major point of the
North and South Carolina cases
argued by Virginia's counsel i,
that the Negroes must first try
to use the placement law before
II can be held invalid.

Liquor Dealer
Again Rebuffed

The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board has denied a second
plea of a Southwest liquor dealer
to move to a location near SOL
Idiers Home. despite the inter-
cession Of three legislators and
the District commissioners in
Iterest in the plight of all the
displaced Southwest liquor stores.
Chairman Alan w. Payne of
the ABC Board said the three
member board has denied the
motion of Bernard Green, whose
store is at 624 Fourth street
S.W., for reconsideration and
modification of the boards orig
inal order denying Mr.. Green's
plea to move to 227 Upshur
street NV.
Is Dealers Displaced
Mr.. Green is one of about 10
Southwest liquor dealers who are
being displaced by the city's
Islum clearance program. He has
been turned down three times in
efforts to move to other loca-
ltionS.
Mr.. Payne said he had no
alternative to offer the Greens
outside of going to court to seek
an injunction against the board.
Mr.. Payne added, however. that
the board has been upheld by
the court in every case taken TO
court.
Liberalization Weighed
After the Commissioners de-
cided to study the problem Of
the displaced Southwest liquor
dealers. Mr.. Payne announced
the board was considering a
change in procedure which
might make it possible to inter-
pref the law more literally. He
said yesterday that, since then,
no case has come up where a

indicated.

Again Oppose
Burke Airport
But Name Group
To Survey County's
Need for AirfieId

The Fairfax County Planning
Commission last night again
went on record in opposition to
the proposed Burke Airport.
The planners said an airport
at Burke would not fit in with
the county's overall future plan
of development
However. the commission voted
to appoint a committee to study
the need for an airport in the
county and, if it is determined
there should be one. to indicate
What site could best co-ordi-
nate with future planning for
the county"
Mrs. Anne wilkins, a member
of the commission and a county
supervisor, said the Burke Air
port location is in the middle of
an area which can eventually be
severed and that the county
probably would need that land
to meet population increases.
Chantilly Suggested
She said the area around
Chantilly would be better suited
for an airport because it is not
so suitable for high density resi-
dental development.
Chantilly is in the area of the
county which drains toward the
upper Potomac. and Mrs. Will
kinS said that the county should
try to protect this part of the
river from pollution which might
result from a housing develop
ment.
Mrs. Wilkins and several other
members also said that they did
not go along with the argument
by pro-Burke residents that an
airport would draw business.
She said, however. that an air.
port is needed to serve residents.
The only advantage from a
commercial standpoint would be
that it would provide an air.
port for use by industrial execu-
tives who might want to locate
plants in the area, Mrs. wilkins
declared.
Carper FavOrS Burke
Only one member, o. v.
Carper. said he was in favor of
the airport at Burke. Two others
voted against the motion. Slater
Lamond. who said that the ac-
ton was premature because the
committee should be free TO
study all sites in the Fairfax
area. and Thomas Gray. who
wanted to attach a rider that
the Government would subsidize
schools and other facilities if an
airport is located in Fairfax
County.

THE RAMBLER learned to
type in those glorious days
when he loved to read. He got
an Underwood instruction
book and he selected two
paragraphs from his current
reading. He never achieved
SO per cent accuracy, but he
learned to make the type
writer ring, tipping these two
paragraphs over and over in
the city room.
The first was the famous
paragraph on Mona Lisa from
Walter Pater'S Renaissance.
THE Rambler first came upon
it, quoted in part, in detec-
tive story
1t goes:
THE presence that rose
thus so strangely beside the
waters. is expressive of what
in the ways of a thousand
years men had come to desire.
Here is the head upon which
all the ends of the world are
come and the eyelids are a
little weary. 1t is a beauty
wrought out from within
upon the flesh, the deposit,
little cell by cell, of strange
thoughts and fantastic rever-
les and exquisite passions. Set
it for a moment beside one of
those white Greek goddesses
or beautiful women of antiq-
uity and how they would be
troubled by this beauty, into
which the soul with all its
maladies has passed. :"
The other paragraph was
from Moby Dick:
ITO any meditative Magian
rover, this serene Pacific, once
beheld, must ever after be the
sea of his adoption. 1t rolls
the midmost waters Of the
world, the Indian Ocean and
Atlantic being but its arms
The same waves wash the
moles of the new-built Cali
fornia towns, but yesterday
planted by recentest races Of
men, and lave the faded but
still gorgeous skirts of AsiatiC
lands, older than Abraham
while all between float milky
ways Of coral isles, and low
lying, endless, unknown ar
chipelagoes and impenetrablt
Japans. Thus this mysterious
divine Pacific zones the
worlds whole bulk about
makes all coasts one bay of it;
seems the Indicating heart Of
earth. Lifted by those eternal
swells, you needs must owr
the seductive god, bowling your
head to Pan"
