Budget Item

Any day, now, we expect
the Public Library's budget
officer to request funds for
an interpreter to decipher
some juvenile requests for
books. Some recent requests
included a Biology of
George Washington" "Cli-
max of the United States"
a book on "Cheapskates
Bay" a History Of the Is
Ordinary States" and a book
about ''Dinah Shores"
Washington's biography
was easy to get, but more
time was needed to put
hands on Climates of the
United States, the book on
Sheepshead Bay, a History
of the Thirteen Original
States, and a book about
dinosaurs.

Roll Coll

In these days when some
publications have a time keep
ing their journalistic heads
above water it's re-assuring
to hear that Roll Call" UNI
official gazette of Capitol Hill,
is doing nicely. Well, it's just
about breaking even, reports
Publisher Sid Yudane, who
doubles as editor, chief copy
reader, reporter and manager
Of circulation. Should that be
quadruples?
Vice President Nixon con-
tributes items from his Office
for the personal column,
from time to time, including
marriage notices. The Vice
President also sees to it that
the paper is distributed on his
side of Congress.
The White House must like
1t, too. Every other week,
when the eight-page tabloid
appears, a limousine from
1900 Pennsylvania avenue
ICONS up to the Hill to pick
up 100 copies. Sid can't say
who, at the White House reads
1t, but he hopes a certain
gentleman does. Virtually all
branches of the Government
receive the paper and appar-
emily find its non-classified
material of interest.
Circulation has increased
from $500 to 10000 in a little
over one year, with every
State represented on the mail
ing list. And when a small!
army of congressman went
junketing around the world
in 1855 it followed them to all
parts of the globe.
Advertising is a bit on the
informal, almost casual side.
Liquor ads are taboo, but Nat
Gandel, who operates a pack
age goods oasis near the
Capitol, is represented as an
interior decorator. For cam
outage he refers to his place
as a vegetable mart, specialize
ing in sweet corn and sour
mash.

Achievement Cop /.
Here Laid to Old
Split School System

The big job of District schools
IN maintaining scholastic stand
ards has been made more diff
cult because of a situation which
existed before segregation.
This was the existence of two
virtually distinct" school sys-
TENS operating for white and
Negro children. according to a
top school official.
Norman j. Nelson. deputy SUI
perirtendept of schools, made
this comment yesterday during
a panel discussion on What
Schools Have Done With the
Desegregation Problem" Mr..
Nelson appeared with other edu-
Gators at the 83d annual con-
vention of the American Associa-
ton of School Administrators
meeting IN Atlantic City.
According to the Associated
Press. Mr. Nelson said 10 per
cent of WaShington's more than
100000 pupils are Negro. Once
merged under segregation. the
student body showed gaps in
achievement.

$685. 900 Park Site Bid
Denied by House Group
Funds Rejected
For Four Projects
In D. c. Budget

The House Appropriations
Committee today denied a re-
quest for $853,000 to acquire
land for four park and play.
ground projects in the District,
Acting on the big Interior De-
Ipartment appropriations bill for
next year, the committee struck
from a request of the National
Capital Planning Commission
the money for these four:
Buchanan recreation center,
Cleveland Park recreation CEN
ter; Northeast playground, adj
jacent TO Wheatley School, Mon
tello avenue and Morse street
NE; the neighborhoodapark IN
the vicinity of New Hampshire
avenue and Park road NV.
Leaves Door Open
While the items were knocked
out of the budget for the COM
mission at this time, the conf
mittee left the door open for
some future consideration
THE exorbitant purchase
prices proposed for certain of
the budgeted areas appeared en-
tirely unjustified," the report
declared. land therefore the
committee has deleted funds for
the four projects"
The Appropriations Commit
tee, however. did approve the
Planning Commissions request
for funds to complete land &C
QUESTION on both sides of the
Potomac River from Mount
Vernon to Great Falls.
This was approved as part Of
the commissions acquisition pro-
gram totaling $4.793,0O0. This
was after a reduction of the
$853,000 stricken for the four
District projects.
The Appropriations Commit.
tee gave a green light towards
completion of the George WASH
ington Memorial Parkway by ap-
proving two different funds, one
for acquisition of land by the
National Capital Planning Com
mission. the other for the Office
of National Capital Parks to con-
struct the roadways in the park
way. Land would be purchased
on both sides of the Potomac
River from Mount Vernon to
Great Falls.
The acquisition fund of S3,-
475,000 to be spent by the Plan
ming Commission was supple
mented by the sum of S3,674. 600
to be spent by the Parks Office
for construction. These two
items bring the total up to about
81 million.
Land Budget Boost
i The committee also approved
a budget request of S31,8OO for
extension of the National Capt.
tai Parks system into Maryland
through acquisition of the
stream valleys.
Despite elimination of the
four projects knocked out for the
District. some money was APP
proved for other parks and play
grounds in the city. While details
of those which may be con-
structed by approved funds were
not available. it was believed
that hte commission could &C.
quire land for two large recrea.
ton centers whose definite To-
cation has not yet been dis
closed.

METHOD #1-SELLING HIGH
AND BUYING LOW
1t is important that an investor
decide in advance which of the
above two methods he is to follow.
1t is difficult to mix the two meth
DDS. If you are to follow the first,
of selling high and buying low, .
it is usually best to confine your
holdings to the active popular
stocks, perhaps those known as the
blue chips; while the second
method often requires buying
stocks of new and smaller compan-
les with inactivemarkets. All pur-
chases should be confined to listed
stocks. In either case, never buy
on margin or borrowed money. For
results with this first method, un-
der the very best conditions-Which

years, not considering either taxes
or dividends. To show the great
spread in price of some of the best
single stocks, the following fig

equivalent of 165, sold for 9
