The new rules, to 60 in effect
in about two months, require
registration of fund-raising
groups with the District Gov
eminent and identification of
solicitors.
They were drafted by the
Charitable Solicitations Ad-
visory Council, headed by WAL

ject of . public hearing on
May 81.
Effective in so Days
The regulations will become
effective under the Districts
new Charitable Solicitations
Act. so days after they have
been published by the Com

Mallory Bill
Hearing Soon
Senutors Pledge
Quick Action
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG :
star star Writer

The House-passed bill to
clarity the Mallory decision will
be considered at Senate hear
ings "as expeditiously as pos
sible," Chairman O'Mahoney Of
the Senate Judiciary Subcom-
mittee said today. Senator
OMahoney favors clarifying
Legislation. So does a majority
of his subcommittee, q poll Of
its members showed.
Action Requested
The OMahoney subcommit-
tee, which deals with improve
ment in the Federal Criminal
Code, already has issued q re-
port calling for congressional
action to Straighten out the
confusion which has followed
in the wake of the year-old
Supreme Court decision tn the
Mallory case. The highest court
reversed the death penalty rape
conviction Of Andrew r. NAL
lory on the ground that he had
been held too long between ar
rest and police efforts to locate
a committing magistrate. NAL
lory's confession was thrown
out and he could not be tried
again.
The legislation which passed
the House by Q vote Of 294 to
70 yesterday was the product of
lengthy hearings on the House
side.
Senator O'Mahoney cited re-
cent court decisions interpret
ing the Mallory ruling in call
ing for clarifying legislation.
Congress Duty Cited
when the courts come to
what seem to be confllcting con-
cluSions, there is a duty Of the
Congress to try to clarity" /"
Senator O'Mahoney said.
while we must protect individ-
ual defendants, we must not
fail to protect the citizens
against criminals"
Senator OMahoney said his
subcommittee will hear enough
witnesses to explore all points
Of view. He added that the
principal problem will be in
finding legislative language
that will be clear to all who
read.

THERE WAS A BALL
GAME in the afternoon
semi-pro with some very
exciting errors. But the big
event would be the firing of
the giant firecracker. Some
where, somehow, the young
men of the village would OBJ
tain a firecracker so large
that it must have been il
legal anywhere. 1t would
be over a foot long with
diameter of 4 inches.
"They would place it in a
barrel in the outfield, light
the fuse and really run for
it, The blast would send
broken barrel slaves flying
100 feet.
"We could hardly wait for
dark because we had Roman
candles and pinwheelS and
sky rockets to set off. Our
parents warning about the
Roman candles was: Don't
look in it when it stops fir
ing, especially if it stops
prematurely. Many a boy
has lost an eye through de-
layed action.

math is too hard. Someone has
scared them.
My own feeling is that the sys-
TEN under which these students
, have studied is lacking. Often
teachers lack the knowledge of
science and the nature of things
to be able to speak about them
simply.
The best teacher Of harmony
and composition have ever
known was Schoenberg. The
finest popular lecturer in physics
I have ever heard was Fermi.
Perhaps the Fermis and Schoen-
bergs should be teaching in the
high schools so that our youth
could be inspired with a love OF.
learning.
@. What advice can you give
to someone seeking a career in
science?
A. The first piece of advice I
would give to anyone is to try to
learn the simple things in science
so that you understand the origin
in nature of scientific discovery.
Equip yourself with certain tools,
mathematics primarily; and the

moon and I would like to know
If Russia or some hostile cOun-
try reaches II before we did
what advantages would they
have? And, also, would it affect
the weather?
A. Since the ICY is an interna-
tional peacetime cooperative en-
terprise and since it is a big pro-
gram, can assure you that ] have
given no thought as to the posi-
BILE military implications of loca-
ton on the moon. If men are
going to fight and want to destroy
each other, they don't need the
moon to do it successfully. They
already have all the weapons right
here on earth. The advantage Of
locating on the moon first would,
l think. be mainly psychological.
The possibility that one can af-
feet the circulation of the weather
in The earth's atmosphere from a
point as. remote as the moon by
means of ANYTHING but prayer is
to a physicist OF geophysicist al
most impossible to conceive.
/. @. Are the Russians Coop
Grating in giving scientific data
from their earth satellite?
A. The question of cooperation
in special areas often revOlveS
around the character of that
area: that is, how much data is
gathered, how it is gathered. and
in what form the data should be
exchanged. would say that in
view of the newneSs of the (satel-
litel program and the problem Of
data reduction, there is no reason
to believe that the Russians won't
cooperate. In other areas where
data can be reduced quickly, the
Russians actually have sent data
to our central Office in Brussels
before We did. Generally. am
not at all concerned about this
matter.
@. How much Is the United
States spending on the ICY
compared with the USSR?
A. This is very hard to put in
dollars and cents. The Congress
appropriated 500 million for our
program. However, the co-opera-
ton of the Armed Services both
in the Antarctic and Arctic pro-
grams and in the field Of rockets
and satellites represents a ire
mendous amount Of money.
In the USSR. the effort is a
big one. Where personally know
of the support that has been given
by the Russian government to
their program, can say that 1t
has been extremely generous and.
certainly, comparable to ours.

So?

Which system is better?
Says Mortimer Smith, execu-
tive secretary of the Council for
Basic Education here in Wash
ington.
The modern method seems to
us an abdication Of the rights of
the teacher and the duties she
owes her pupils as one superior in
knowledge and understanding.
You can't have a genuine educa-
tive experience without the central
authority Of the teacher.
The old-fashioned. logically or
ganized subject matter involving
more drill and memory work was
a time-tested method. It's like
learning to play the piano. You
can't play with feeling and facility
unless you first have thoroughly
learned the basic symbols and
mechanics so they come auto
matically. ..

versity:
The child in the modern class
room not only learns better skill
subjects on which his father
drilled, but he learns much more
besides.
HE learns to read and to use
reading as a tool to help him
understand the world around him.
He learns to write and spell and
to express his ideas clearly and
accurately. He learns arithmetic
but he also learns to deal with
numerical ideas as he meets them
in his daily life-in miles per hour

There we're good teachers in
Yesterdays schools. They worked
hard and their children learned.

gram now shapes up something
like this:
The first line of defense is still
the pupil placement law. Federal
Court decisions left the original
placement law useless as a defense
against indignation, holding that
Negroes did not have to use it. AS
amended, some of the objections
raised by Federal courts have been
removed. 1t retains the three-man
pupil placement board appointed
by the Governor. but the appeal
procedure has been shortened
considerably and the assignment
standards have been simplifled to
correspond with those used sue
cessfilIy in North Carolina.
Shorter Appeal Route
+ In reducing the appeal pro-
cedure, the Assembly removed the
Governor as one step in the appeal
route. Also removed was the Ian
guage efficient schools" which
other legislation defined as segre-
gated schools.
The next line of defense is the
automatic school closing law. If.
by Federal Court order or through
the placement procedure. a Negro
wins assignment to a white school
the school automatically closes

organize the school on q segre-

gated basis. AS passed in 1856,
this law allowed the local school
board or local governing body to
demand return Of closed school
f. nm the Governor. and required
the Governor to return it. The
amended version passed at the re-
cent session provides that the Gov
er1nor may use his own discretion

closed school to a locality when
requested to do so by the local gov
erning body and school board.
The change was made. accord
ing to sponsors. to plug the former
loophole that would have allowed
localities to operate their, own
school systems on an integrated
basis.
1t seems uncomfortable in the
face of existing State policy that
any indignation could squeeze
through the first two lines of de-
Tense. unless the pressure to re-
open closed schools becomes too
great for the Governor 10 with
stand. If by some remote chance
he did agree to relinquish control
of a closed school and return it to
a locality. then the fund CUTOFF
stands as the next Indignation
barrier.
How II Works
Any locality that attempts to.
operate an integrated school
automatically loses all State
school funds at the elementary
or secondary level. whichever is
involved. AS matters stand in
Arlington. all State funds would
be affected since the pending in
tegration order affects both
secondary and elementary schools.
That isn't all. The so-called
Little Rock bills take effect If the
Federal Government attempts to
intercede. The principal Little
Rock bill provides for the auto
matte closing Of any school
patrolled by Federal troops. 1t
is up to the Governor to decide
when the school can reopen. The
other Little Rock bill allows the
Governor to close any other school
in school district when he feels
the use of Federal troops at one
of them is apt to disrupt the
orderly administration of others.
Thus, Virginia stands prepared
with a whole raft of laws to close
schools, and only one person to
reopen them-the Governor.
