Erupts Again
PTA Chuirmun
Opposes TenIey PIOn

A two-year-old battle over To-
cation Of the projected new
Tenley Branch Library has been
renewed Unexpectedly.
In January. 1856. the District
ommiSSioners-with Board of
Education approval-designated
a portion OF Janney Elementary
School ground at Wisconsin
avenue and Albemarle street
NV. for a replacement for the
present Tenley library branch.
The action at the time was Wig
orously opposed by the schools
parent and teacher association.
The Districts budget ofhce
has included $541 900 for con-
struction Of the library in next
years tentative District budget.
Yesterday. DR.. Ellis Haworth,
the Janney PTA legislative
chairman strongly opposed the
library project at the Commits
sioners' budget hearing.
DR.. Haworth pointed out that
school officials recently an
nounced new plans to build an
addition to the school. These
plans were approved by the
citizens committee. which re-
Gently recommended a new
city'S work program.
This will not leave Janney
with enough playground space
If the proposed library is also
built. DR.. Haworth said. He
urged finding a different site
for the library.
Other witnesses, including
two who represented Janney's
PTA. took sharp issue with DR..
Haworth. however.

had been injected into the
budget discussion. He chal-
lenged an estimate by DR.. Ha-
worth that Janney'S attend

asserting that. on the contrary.
the enrolment is dropping.
Mrs. Donald Mcneil of 40l4
Veazey street NV. declared
in backing the library:
"I'm ashamed Of anyone at
Janney that would fight such
q gift"
Another Janney parent, Mrs.
James L. Morrison or $500

petitions from nearby residents
and some Woodrow Wilson
High School students in be-
half of the library.

derway here.
DR.. Gulick spoke at q meet
ing Of the Washington Metro
politan Regional Conference
steering committee, made up
of members Of municipal and
State governments in both
Maryland and Virginia and the
three District Commissioners
He suggested the possibility Of
establishing some kind Of inter-
state regional authority. which
would have the power 10 make
decisions even though they
might not be to the liking OF
one or more Of the jurisdic-
tions.
He told the group. however
that such an authority should
be given the power to act only
on specific questions and should
not encroach too seriously" on
the sovereignty Of the respec-
tive States or smaller political
subdivisions"
Its jurisdiction, he explained
should be limited to such prob
lens as water and traffic diff
culties as they affect the metro
politan area as a whole.
DR.. Gulick, an expert on
problems arising from the Ma
tion-wide growth Of metro
politan areas. told the commit
tee that the question OF State
sovereignty on regional plan

voluntary basis.
Mr.. Gulick warned the COM
mittee that 1t also must be
prepared to compromise, par
ticularly on jurisdictional mat
tiers. The representatives Of no
one State will have all the right
answers. he sail.
He added, however that some
sort Of regional government
with binding powers in water
supply and trafiic congestion
problems is just as essential
in the Nations metropolitan
areas, including Maryland, Vir-
ginia and the District, as 1t is
in the field Of communications.
He called on the group to
make full use Of all facilities
available TO 1t through Federal
aid. He told the gathering
the problem Of metropolitan
area growth could be aided con-
siderably II President Eisen-
hover had a special president

mating programs.

ANOTHER ITEM in the

ANOTHER ITEM in the
Deacon would be disturbing
If taken seriously. IT was
under the heading The
Faculty Speaks" and was
written by an English teach
er, Alan Winslow.
When the Lamond boys
depart for school. they look
like teen-age gentlemen. and
their fellows in the class
room and on the playing
field probably do not look
very much otherwise. But
here is the faculty report on
dress at st. Stephens.
Il am glad to see. says the
faculty spokesman, shat the
coats and ties rule is being
faithfully observed by the
high school students.
Il fear, however, that
while the rule is being
obeyed, the concept behind
it is not.
"The concept is, of course,
to add dignity and elegance
to the high school. This con-
cept is being sabotaged.
Look what some people
consider coats: Pieces of old
saddle blankets; coats from
last years Scarecrows; used
Mexican rugs; jackets con-
demned by the Salvation
Army.
And ties! I don't really
object to the Christmas
gift-wrapping that one Of
our prominent juniors wears.
But consider the used shoe
laces, the donkey brides,
and the laundry-bag draw
strings that are called ties.
Then there are the liter
alists who wear a coat and
tie, but as nothing was said
about shirts, wear their
pajama tops to school.
THE less said about color
schemes the better. The
colorS some people assemble
would make a Scotch chame-
leon jealous.
"Oh, well, what can be
done? If the school, allowed
blR Jeans, someone would
show up with pink ones. 1t
is truly said. the high
school will not dress prop
erly until st. Stephens be-
comes coed"

The other day. he sent in

note scrihbled on the ear:
what do you think Of our

The first item under

corpus.
Central figure in the case was
Frank Kennedy, So, formerly Of
the 1900 block Of Nichols ave-
nue. Sc.
Kennedy had pleaded guilty
to housebreaking in three sep
arate cases. On June 10, 1854,
Judge Curran sentenced him
to serve one to three years in
each case. The sentences were
to run consecutively, making a
total Of nine years.
Error in Papers
But q court clerk, in making
out commitment papers, err
roneously used the word con-
currently" This would have
the effect of limiting the entire
sentence to one to three years.
AS a result. Kennedy vas
conditionally released from Dis
trict Jail on August 81, 1856.
and his release became COM
plete on December 10. 1856.
The following day, without
Kennedy being present in court,
Judge Curran corrected the
commitment orders to make
them call for a three TO nine
year sentence, and issued a
bench warrant for Kennedy's
arrest.
The latter. who meantime
had gotten a Job, was arrested
at work on January 4. 1857.
Loses Court Plea
Subsequently, he sought his
release from jail on the grounds
that once having been released
from all prison supervision the
court could not recommit him
to correct an error. But Judge
Curran. after a habeaS corpus
hearing. ruled against him.
Today. the appellate majority,
while noting that the commit
ment orders should not have
been changed without Kennedy
being present at the proceed

dered:
He is welcome to that in

Issue In Sharp Focus
The talks by Senator Byrd
and Mr.. Almond at a rally
attended by approximately 400
Loudoun County residents
brought into sharp focus the
long-implied Democratic posi-
ton that a vote for State Sena-
tor Dalton in November is a
vote for migration. whereas a
vote for Mr.. Almond Is q vote
for segregation.
Senator Byrd said it was evil
dent that Attorney General
Brownell and the NAACP are
determined to bring Virginia
to ner knees first and, If sue
cessful. use the prestige Of that
victory to march on into other
Southern States"
These circumstances make
the responsibility of Virginia
very great, because this is the
first Southern State wherein
the issue mas been clearly de-
fined in a State election as be-
tween integration and segrega-
tion," he added.
Absurd Claim
Senator Byrd said even a
layman" must see the absurd
ity" of Senator Dalton's claim
that his pupil assignment plan
will be limited in its opera
ton"
With the pupil assignment
plan advocated by Senator Dali
ton the result would be that
the NAACP would become the
agency for pupil placement, /"
said Senator Byrd. What
greater humiliation could vir-
ginia suffer-?
Senator Byrd said he "shud-
dered to think" Of what would
happen in great areas OF Vir-
ginia with someone like Fed
eral Judge Walter Hoffman on
the bench enforcing a pupil as
signment law.
The senior Virginia Senator
recited white and Negro ENROLL
ment figures in three Washing
ton high schools where Negroes
outnumber whites and asked:
II ask Mr.. Dalton, II this is
the type Of indignation he
favors? We would indeed be
living in a FOOLS paradise II
we accepted the Dalton inte-
grafton plan as explained by
him and soon find ourselves
with fully integrated schools"
Senator Byrd called the
Washington Post and Times
Herald the most rabid, violent
and unreasoning integrationist
paper that know Of" and
noted that 1t had published an
editorial last May urging Sena-
tor Dalton to run for Governor
In doing so. this paper ex-
pressed its approval OF the Dali
ton integration program be-
cause II was evident that the
announcement OF such a pro-
gram would end in complete
and uncomfortable integra-
! tion," he declared.

Although dreaming of a career in

the advice of his father, a ieweler

as q pleasant hobby but to prepare
for some less precarious future.
With a view to becoming doctor,
he took pre-med work at the Uni

his dramatic urge by captaining an
