Government officials agree. This
is another early symptom Of the
period of easier money many
persons anticipate. For exam
pie, lenders not long ago were
willing to pay out only around
500 or less for each 500 Of
mortgage amount on VA loans.
The $40 difference was retained
by the lender to compensate
him for accepting a mortgage
at the relatively low Az per
cent VA rate.
But so attractive has that VA
rate turned out to be under
impact of the new easier money
policy that some investors are
buying VA mortgages at prices
of So and 81 higher per 500
than they were willing to pay
only a few months ago. This Is.
likewise, true of FILA loans
which. not long ago. were being
bought in the secondary market
for $94 or sos and which, today.
are bringing much improved
prices that, some believe, may
soon approach the par Of $500

amount.

satisfactory" progress today
after undergoing an operation

a fair night.
Judge Laws was admitted to
the hospital on July 90 after
suffering from headaches for
several weeks. He also COM
planned that his back was
bothering him, his Office re-
ported.
The judge asked before I'M
dergoing the operation that
friends send no flowers to the
hospital. Instead. he preferred
that well-wishers donate blood
to the American Red Cross
blood bank. 1t also was re-
.quested that friends do not
telephone.
The senior Judge of District
Court lives at 1901 Massachu-

Speaking Of Parties

This party really came
off. The invitation read:
Frank and Anna Abbo re-
quest your presence at the
Roma Restaurant to meet
the cast Of Most Happy
Fella.'"
It seems that Frank had
taken a plane for Italy on
Saturday but that didn't
stop him from throwing a
party in abSentia. 1t was
interesting to meet Robert
Weede, the star; his two
sons, Robert, jr,, and Richard,
and Art Lund, the ex-foot-
ball player who sings the
romantic lead - then to
watch them from down-in-
front seats at the Carter
Barron Theater.
That was a good party, too.

Volta PARTY!

The Rambler was all for
1t. He said:
"Ohr hi-fis make enough
noise to blast us out of our
houses, but they will be lost
in a crowd outside. We will
have to have a sound truck
for street dancing. I will
arrange that.
"Crabs are fine but some
people prefer Holsters. I
know a man named Geyer,
who represents Consolidated
Lobster of Maine. He'll get
us a couple Of barrels of
Holsters at wholesale and a
man to broil them.
"And some unfortunate
people don't ike Seatood. l
know the man who broils
chickens over charcoal for
Board of Trade and JayceeS
picnics. We had better get
100 broilerS. And, of course,
hot dogs for the kids"
Volta party!
The next day, a workaday
Monday, 1t was estimated
that it would come to $50 a
family. Volta party!
That scuttled it. Since then
the neighbors have been call
ing on one another to say
what a good party it was
while IL lasted.

have done" Congress, he add
ed, should show sufficient con-
fidence in the people of Wash
ington BY passing the bill.
Gerson Nordlinger, vice presi-
dent of the National Symphony
Orchestra, said, This is not a
cultural center for the people
of Washington alone but. like
the National Gallery of Art,
would be for the people of all
the country"
The lone opponent of the
legislation was Ladislous j.
Esunes, who identified himself
as secretary and legislative rep
resentative of the Andrews Air
Force Base Local, National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees.
Suitability Questioned
Mr.. ESuneS said the Foggy
Bottom tract "is in a river area
with a prounced stencil in the
evenings" and. consequently,
would not be suitable as a the
alter for the performing arts.
Among others who either tes-
titled or submitted written

creaSes approved for civil serv-
ice employees.
Sewage Plan Favored
The committee also reported
a measure by Representative
Smith, Democrat Of Virginia,
to authorize nearby Virginia
communities to pump sanitary
sewage into the District system
for treatment here.
The bill is designed to elimi.
nate contamination of the Dis
trict's water supply in the Po-
tomac River upstream from
Washington.
Also approved was a bill to
allow Sibley Hospital to trans
fer $339,556 previously granted
to 1t to a $4.3 million total
grant 1t has received under
the Hospital Center Act to re-
locate on a tract on Loughboro
road near Macarthur boulevard
NV.
Aid for Hospital
The smaller sum had been
spent by the hospital while It
was considering a site on the
campus of American Univer-
sity. Last year Congress au-
thorized Sibley to move to the
Loughboro road tract and this
bill would preclude loss of all
the funds spent while planning
to transfer to American Uni
versity.
A bill amending the Hos
pital Center Act to provide a
7O-to-30 ratio for splitting the
costs Of hospital construction,
also was approved.
Other measures favorably re-
ported includes a bill by Mr..
Mcmillan making technical
changes to the District Rede-
velopment Act, and a bill by
Representative OHara, Repub-
lican Of Minnesota, making ex-
tensive technical revisions To

Spouse to Gov. Almonds state
ment yesterday that a final
civil court order assigning
Negro students to white class
rooms would constitute enroll
ment.
This assignment, the Cove
nor said, would automatically
bring into play the States law
requiring the closing of any in
tegrated school. Thus schools
could be shut down in advance
of the opening date of the
school year.
Last September, seven Negro
children won an indignation
order from Alexandria Federal
Court Judge Albert v. Bryan,
but his decision was stayed
pending an appeal. The Su-
preme Court last May upheld
the lower court order.
Last month, the Arlington
School Board set August / as
the deadline for applications
by students who wish to trans
fer to other schools, and for
those who are entering the
system for the first time. Re-
quests made after that date,
the board said, may not be in
sufficient time for assignment
on the opening day of school,
September 4.
In their comments today,
board members indicated that
the seven children have ignored
the deadline as far as the
boards policy of requiring State
pupil placement from applica-
tons Is concerned.
The Negro families have said
that they have refused to sign
the placement forms, but have
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-08-06

sent letters to school officials
requesting transfers.
In his decision. Judge Bryan
agreed with Negro attorneys
that the children should not be
required to use the placement
forms because this would al
most be asserting to racially
segregated schools.
Today. Chairman Peck said
that: ANY child who wants to
change schools and hasn't APP
piled to do so couldn't very well
expect to be enrolled"
Another board member, L.
Lee Bean, said that Judge
Bryan's order covered the last
school year and that: Il don't
think those children have been
enrolled for this semester"
Board member Helen Lanes
only comment was that the
specific white schools were
under Federal Court order last
year to admit the Negro
students"
In reaction to Gov. Almonds
statement, board member
James G. Stockard said:
TITS wise that the Governor
has made his position clear as
soon as he has because this
will give us more time in which
to work out a solution to see
what remedies are open to us.
The fifth board member,
Barnard Joy. said he had been
concerned over the interpreta-
ton of enrolment" and was
happy to find out Gov. Al
mond's legal definition.

that results Of such a study
