FEDERAL JUDGE RULES OUT BUS
and PARK SEGREGATION

Pernfune
Louisiana
ly sought to have the city's buses
and StreetcarS deSegregated
without recourse to the courts"
In his ruling, Judge Wright
said:
RIPE FOR DECISION
This matter (bus segregation)
is r-pe for decision. All State
statutes requiring segregation on
public tranSporta tion facilities
in New Orleans. are uncon-
stitutional.'
In the city park case, the Judge
declared ibis ruling was based
on deSegregation cases involving
parks in Atlanta and Baltimore
in which the U. S. Supreme Court
ordered them opened to all
races.
The judge also cited a recent
court ruling ordering the Orleans
Parish New Orleans) School
Board to desegregate with all
deliberate speed"
The ruling was made after
assistant Attorney Gen. william
P. Schuler sought to have the
suit ,4filed by the plaintiffs, dis
missed.
DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
The decision involving the
City Transit System was made
on motion for a declaratory
judgment involving the State
racial laws by A. P. Tureaud,
attorney.
Named as plaintiffs in the suit
were the Rev. A. L. Davis, Jr.,
president of the New Orleans
Lnterdenominational Alliance,
and DR.. w. R. Adams, president
of the New Orleans Improve
nlent League.
Both men headed a group who
urged City and Transit officials
last January to desegregate the
public carriers in view of the
U. S. Supreme Courts ruling
striking down bus segregation
in the historic Montgomery, Ala,
case.
But they were informed that
since Louisiana law prohibits the
mixing of the races on public
carriers, segregation would con-
tinue on them until a court of
competent jurisdiction rule d
otherwise"
City attorney sought to have
the suit dismissed on the grounds
that the plaintiffs had never
been actually forced to sit be-
hind signs ON buses and trolleys
which separate white from Ne
gro patrons. He also maintained
that neither had been arrested
for not sitting behind the seq
regation signs.
However, the judge contended:
ARRESTS NOT NEEDED
"It is not the courts view that
in our civilization it is necessary
to have incidents, to have people
arrested, to have their rights
declared"

Planners Okay
Water Tank at
Browns Corner

Proposed location of Wash.
ington Suburban Sanitary Com.
mission water storage tank at
Browns Corner near Spencer
vile, was recommended for APP.
proval by the Marylahd-National
Capital Park and Planning Com.
mission last Wednesday.
The location is on the north
side of Sandy Spring-Laurel I'd.
on IL acre tract, $40 feet east
of Colesville rd. The tank will be
approximately 100 feet high with
diameter of approximately GO
feet and capacity of two million
gallons of water. 1t would be set
back from the property about 240
feet and each side yard would be
30 feet wide.
In view of the limited develop,
ment in the area and the high
elevation of the land, planning
engineers recommended the loca
ton as an appropriate site. II
was recommended, however, that
additional land be acquired Sc
that side yards be increased to
100 feet rather than the proposed
40 feet to protect adjoining prop
erty owners.

Toys for Tots
Drive Shifts
To High Gear

Fourteen Marine reservists in
Montgomery County are not so
sure they have the toy situation
well in hand.
Oh, they have plenty of toys in
their annual Toys for Tots"
Christmas campaign = but that's
just the trouble: they are too few
with too little time to repair all
of the toys.
They do what they can before
they turn the bulk of them over
to the Christmas Bureau in Be-
fthesda. Some go to the American
Legion and some to the Church
in the Wildwood.
Last year generous Montgom-
cry county residents donated 3d.
600 toys to the drive-more than
were received from all of the
surrounding Metropolitan Wash
ington areas.
The Marines fear, and yet hope,
that they will be deluged by 90
900 this year.
They urge donors to give as
many new or nearly new toys
as possible--toys their own chill
dren would enjoy playing with.
This way, they say, many toys
nearly good enough won't have to
be saved for repair next year be-
cause of limited repair time and
facilities this year.
The Marines have set up % col
lection spots: all volunteer fire de-
partmentS and Shell Gasoline sta
tons bearing the Toys for Tots
campaign banner.

Grove Sends
Reply to
Sen. Bible

Washington Grove has more
problems caused by development
outside of the towns border than
it has within town limits, town
heads informed the Joint Con-
gressional Committee which has
launched a study of "the most
pressing problems created by the
growth and expansion of the Dis
trict of Columbia and its metro
politan area"
Residents are fairly certain of
what they want within town
limits but are beginning to feel
the squeeze as nearby farm land
begins to sprout houses.
Some of the problems, growing
out of expansion of the metropoI-
tan area, are set forth in a letter
TO Committee Chairman Sen.
Alan Bible (D-Nev). The docu-
ment, prepared by the Planning
Commission and approved by the
MAYOR and council referred to
lack of coordination between
Manning bodies in matters vitality
affecting Washington Grove.

Peoples Warns of Growing
TB Problem Among Aged

DR.. William ]. Peoples, Mont
gomery County Health Officer, re-
ports that information recently
obtained as a result of a five
year study conducted jointly by
the Health Department and Tu-
berculosis Association reveals that
tuberculosis is definitely becom-
ing a major problem among the
aging population in our County.
The problems of the aging are
varied" mentioned DR.. Peoples,
''but none of them is more i'm
portant than the problems i'm
posed by poor health and one of
the more pressing health prob
lens is tuberculosis"
Of the as tuberculosis deaths
reported during the period 1852
1856, II deaths occurred in people
60 years of age and over. OF the
372, new active cases of TB re-
ported during this period, GO were
in the 60 and over population
group.
Because there are in the vicinity
of 10000 older people of this age
group in Montgomery County,
the above figures lin comparison
with this relatively small popu-
lation group, are of great sifnifi-
canoe. This would indicate that
unless measures for the detection
of unknown T'B cases are not con-
tinued and improved the problem
will increase as the older popula-
| ton increases.

Col. Elmer E. Barnes, executive
director of the 251-member build
ers' group, said President Joseph
M. Geeraert and the board of d.
rectors, have signed a contract
with the society's trustees to
erect the new out-patient treat
ment center. The society will pay
labor costs and the builders will
furnish materials at cost.
A year ago, when faulty boil
er forced the Society to vacate
quarters on Rockville Pike donat-
ed by American Legion Post No.
los, Joseph Geeraert, Rockville
builder and developer, loaned the
Crippled Children's Society
house on Meadow Lane for use
as a temporary Treatment Gen.
ter. Members of the S.M.B.A. do
mated time and material to reno.
vate the building. Geeraert also
gave the society two-acre tract
on Twinbrook Parkway as a site
for permanent Treatment Gen.
ter.
Since that time, the Montgom-
cry County Society for Crippled
Children and Adults, under the
leadership of Mrs. M. L. Reese,
president of the Board of Trus-
tees, has worked tirelessly to &C.
cumulate funds to erect build
ing. John Samperton, Bethesda
architect, donated plans for the
new Treatment Center. a
The Society felt that to be able
to build within three years would
be the best possible goal. The
offer of the Suburban Maryland
Builders Association to erect the
new building at cost has short
ened the time schedule so that oc-
cupancy is now scheduled for
next spring during the annual
Easter Seal campaign for operat
ing funds for the Society.
Members of the Society will
continue to solicit funds to repay
a construction loan that was OBJ.
tanned from Perpetual Building
and Loan Association. 1t is the
first time in anyone's knowledge
that a local charitable organiZa-
ton has received such a ire
mendous assist in realizing a
building dream.
The Montgomery County So
ciety for Crippled Children and
Adults operates the only Treat
ment Center of its kind in the
county. 1t offers speech and phys
ical therapy to patients upon re-
ferral from private physicians
clinics, the Board of Education
and the Health Department. Pa
tients pay modest fees, when pos
sible, yet no one is denied treat
ment because of inability to pay.
The professional staff are the
only paid workers at the Treat
ment Center. All other services
are performed by volunteers. The
Society receives its support main
ly from the Easter Seal campaign
every Spring, as well as dona-
tons from interested citizens,
