3WeeksAgo

NORFOLK. Va. Sept. 8 CAP)
The Norfolk School Board
offered on August IL to give
the State Pupil Placement
Board assignment forms for the
ISL Negro children seeking en-
rollment in white schools here.
This was confirmed last night
by Paul Schweitzer. board
chairman.

has exclusive pupil assignment

intimated last week that the
assignment data had been with
held.
In a telegram to the school
board Wednesday. the State
board said. in part, that it
couldn't assign the pupils until
the forms were made avail
able"
The telegram arrived two
days before the school board
was due to report to Federal
District Judge Walter E. Hoff-
man on what disposition would
be made Of the Negro applica-
ti0ns. He had indicated the
board would be found in con-
tempt If his desegregation or
der were ignored.
Mr.. Schweitzer said that on
August II he and School Supt.
]. J. Brewbaker, acting at the
placement boards request,
went to Richmond and APP
peared before the board.
They were taken aback, he
said, by their reception.
what did you gentlemen
want to see us about?" he
quoted a placement board
member as asking.
According to Mr.. Schweitzer,
the upshot Of the meeting was
that the placement board was
told that completed State as
signment blanks. on the Negro
applications and all other chill
dren seeking enrollments or
transfers, would be delivered
to it.
"They asked us to delay Civ
ing them the forms until they
requested them" the school
board chairman related. He
said no reason was given for
the delay.
Nothing was heard from the
Placement Board until the tele-
gram Wednesday. ut was diff
cult for us to understand what
was meant by the telegram
when we had offered to give
them the forms when we were
up there" Mr.. Schweitzer COM
mented.

Spring Start
Shapes for
Junior High

Construction Of Fairfax
county's FIRST intermediate
school Is expected TO get under
way next spring.
School board members were
asked last night by admins
trative staff members to make
q prompt decision on what type
building they want to house the
seventh and eighth grades in
under the county's new system
The board decided several
weeks ago to educate seventh
and eighth grade pupils in sep
arate buildings, although mem
bers said they do not want to
build elaborate junior high
schools.
Robert Walker. assistant su-
perintendent, told board mem
bers that construction of sew
eral intermediate schools could
begin about April II the board
decides within the next month
on design.

Mark Smith, financial adj
wiser. told the board the bond
market Is poor now and adj
vised the board to wait until
early next year before selling
school bonds to finance the new
buildings.
Supt. w. T. Woodson said
State requirements for inter-
mediate schools are not as
stringent as those for high
schools. but he said he would
be disappointed" If the county
does not provide more than the
minimum requirements.
Mr.. Woodson said there are
no State space requirements
for art, health and physical
education. music, homemaking,
industrial arts, and guidance
facilities for intermediate
schools. It will be up to the
board to decide what of these
facilities it will provide.
Size Of site, length of day,
and classes, pupil-teacher ratio
and qualifications of teachers
are generally the same as for
high schools.
No monuments"
Board Member Robert F.
Davis said Fairfax sis not 60
ing to build elaborate Junior
highs like some counties
around here have done-we are
not going to build monuments
to waste"
In other business, the board

sibility of a mental hospital be-
ing built across from the Burke

pressed an interest in the tract,
which was part Of the once
proposed Burke airport site. as
q possible location for a State

BLASTING TRAGEDY IN PA.
 HUNTINGTON, Pa. R

Harry Shankle was advised to take cover Sunday by some work men who were preparing an ex- plosive charge on a pipeline con- struction project.
 The 47-year-old Conemaugh, Pa., resident stood behind a tree some 300 feet from the scene of the impending blast.
 A few minutes later, a rock hurled by the explosion crashed through the branches of Shankle's refuge and hit him on the chest, killing him instantly. F

several years as second to acci- dents in causes of deaths in Alas ka. These diseases caused 219 deaths in 1857, which is a rate of 104.3 per 100000 population as compared with 360.5 in the other states. The great difference, MT. Kester said, reflects the young population of Alaska, which has a smaller pjroportion of persons in the older age groups where heart and certain other chronic diseases of old age take a heavy toll in the more normally bal anced populations of the older states.
 Certain diseases of early child hood were third highest cause of 1856 Alaska deaths, and malig- nant neoplasms (cancer), fourth. Influenza and pneumonia were in fifth place, cerebral hemor- rhage in sixth place, and tuber- culosis in seventh place, with 56 deaths.
 Tuberculosis was for many years Alaska's chief killing di- sease, and took a toll of hundreds of lives annually. It is still the most serious health problem, medical authorities point out, but diligent search for new cases and treatment with new drugs and methods keeps people from dying with the disease though they must be under medical care at home for long periods after hos pitalization.

l5 British
 Boobies Happy. With Pool Win

LONDON, R - Fifteen police men have hit the jackpot with a world record football pool win expected to be worth nearly $700,000, and the take isn't tax able.
 The Police Station Syndicate has filled in it's pool coupon ac- cording to the same formula for seven years. This is their first win.
 Each week the Syndicate - Is policemen and 3 civilians work ing with them at the East Coast vacation resort of Margate IL gamble 25 shillings ($3.5O) on fore casting the results of Britain's football matches. Bettors have to pick eight tie games for top score.
 Monday night, a pool represen- tative called on the happy cops to tell them of their success.
 Their winnings beat the pre- vious pool mark set by British coal miner Tom Riley, who picked up 209,079 pounds ($582,1 16OD last April.
 The biggest winner will be 38- year-old constable James Upton, who has five of the syndicate's 25 one-shilling shares. He stands to take home about 5000O pounds ($140,O0O.
 Father of seven children and 19 years in the force, Upton earns 12 pounds 10 shillings ($34.40 a week.

Accidents Chief Single Factor In
 Alaska '57 Deaths

JUNEAU, October 6 - Acci- dents were Alaska's chief cause of death in 1857 for the seventh consecutive year, according to F. E. Hester, director of the Alaska Department of Health Vital Sta tistics Bureau.
 Of total of 1,279 deaths occur ring during the year, 237 were caused by accidents. This is rate of 112.9 deaths per 100000 popu- lation or nearly double tht of the continental United States ac- cidental death rate of 56.7 per 100000 in 1856. The 1857 rate for the states proper is not yet avail able in the Alaska Vital Statis- tics Bureau.
 F Motor vehicle accidents caused 36 deaths last year on Alaska s highways which all-told, includ- ing even the so-caller recreational roads, number only 4,200 miles. Aircraft accidents, including mil itary planes, caused 57 fatalities in 1857. Of the aircraft deaths, 30 were in military planes. Over the years, MT. Hester pointed out, very few deaths have occurred in Alaska involving scheduled" airlines accidents.
 Drownings were high on the list of accidental deaths in 1857, with total of 60, of which 23 were in connection with water transportation and 37 where nc boats were involved.
 Falls caused 13 deaths, poison took 6 lives, and firearms another g lives. Firearms also were in- volved in 19 of the 27 suicides and 12 of the homicides that oc- cured in Alaska in 1857.
 Heart diseases retained the po- sition they have held for the past

Richard Lewis was a clerk

them down.
Then they sang on q rock

After the show he put the

for recording. One Of the songs
was Get a Job" written-like
all their songs-by the Silhou-

Disc Jockey Williams made
