Arlington Ups
School Lunch
1Cent in Price

The Arlington School Board
has decided to raise the price
of student lunches one cent next
fall to make the school cafe
terra system completely self
sustaining for the first time.
The one-cent increase was
voted by the school board last
night as adjustments were made
within the budget to meet an
overall reduction made by the.
County Board.
Lunch prices in elementary
schools now are SO cents for
students who buy them on a
weekly basis, and 38 cents for
those who buy them on a day
by-day basis. Junior and senior
high school lunch prices are 80
cents for all students.
Heretofore, the cafeteria pro-
gram has been self-sustaining
except for the salary Of the
cafeteria supervisor, who has
been paid from general admin
istration funds. The one-cent
increase will cover the super
visor's $8,750-a-year salary.
Final action was taken at
last nights meeting on revising
the county's elementary school
report card system. with
changes for the first two grades.
In April the board voted to
switch to ABC-type report
cards at six-week intervals in
the third through sixth grades.
Action on the first and second
years was postponed for addi-
tional study.
Last night, board members
adopted this system for first
and second graders:
Reports will be issued every
SIX weeks and will cover class
room subjects along with "at-
ltitudes, work habits and effort"
The child will be rated in these
fields as excellent. satisfactory
or needs improvement.
The new report system,
which was recommended by
the school administration. re-
quires one parent-teacher con-
ference each year.
The reviSions in all elemen-
tary grades are to go into effect
next September.
Under the current setup, in
all six grades the families re-
ceive two reports in the form
Iof parent-teacher conferences
and two report card-narrative
summaries. In the fourth
through sixth grades, the mar
rative reports are supple
mented by information on the
students achievement as re-
lated TO basic standards.
A resolution was adopted by
the board requiring individuals
or groups who rent school prop
erty to agree in writing that
they will not violate any State
or local laws.
The matter was brought up
by Mrs. Helen Lane, who said
she understood a church group
had held an integrated meeting
at Stratford Junior High. The
school boards policy is to re-
quire segregated seating at pub
lie meetings in accordance with
State law.

Win Reprieve
For 10 Days
BY A. L. SINGLETON
Star STAFF Writer

LEONARDToWN, Md, June
13.-Slot-machine casinos on
the Potomac River were given
at least 10 more days of legal
life today at a hearing in cir
cult court here.
Chief Judge John B. Gray,
jr., and Judge Philip Dorsey
gave lawyers 10 days to file
written briefs on why gaming
should or should not be allowed
in the Maryland-owned river
accessible by pier from Vir-
ginia.
The Maryland Legislature
enacted a law banning opera
ton of gambling devices in any
establishment that cannot be
reached by foot from Maryland
soil.
Counsel for operators of a
string of gambling establish
ments on the Virginia shoreline
challenged the constitutional
| ity of the law. Judge Dorsey
last month heard their appeal
and granted them an injunc-
ton preventing enforcement OF
the law.
Today, he and Judge Gray
heard a two-hour oral argu-
ment by attorneys for the CAST
nos and members of the Mary
land Attorney Generals Office,
which is seeking an end to the
Injunction.
William o. Sterling, speak
ing for the casinos, argued that
the law was passed illegally,
He said it was local in nature
and therefore could not be en-
acted during a short session
of the legislature reserved fol
bills of budgetary, State wide
or emergency status.
He also said the law dis
eliminates, because it permits
Marylanders to operate gam
bling devices on one side Of
the river and forbids them or
the other:
Another casino attorney
former State Senator Paul j
Bailey, called the law "a silly
piece of tomfoolery to gel
around something; namely, the
Constitution"
Deputy Attorney Genera,
Stedman Prescott, jr., said the
law was legally passed anc
asked that the injunction
cease.

Pleading immunity, a Rus
sian attache yesterday pro-
tested nightly when asked to
accompany a Montgomery
County policeman into a Be-
thesda police substation.
JUL A. Afanasiev, the Rus
sian aide, may have learned
something about the compare
tive informality of American
police methods as a result of
the incident.
Charged only with passing
through a stop sign on Con-
necticut avenue in North Chevy
Chase, Mr.. Afanasiev was
escorted to the Bethesda sub
station by County Police Pvts.
Eugene J. Haugh and Lawrence
Halter. The 30-year-old mill
tary attache was unable to
produce diplomatic credentials.
but nevertheless refused to be
taken inside the substation.
A noisy harangue developed
around an outdoor telephone
outside the station. Mr.. Afana-
siev insisted on calling his
Embassy. At one point, Pvt
Haugh got on the line and
began arguing with someone at
the other end.
II can't wait for you to come
out here . I can't understand
you All he has to do is post
collateral I can't under
stand you" the policeman said
Meanwhile, newsmen at the
scene clustered around the
Russian and exchanged banter
with the police. Mr.. Afanasie1
seemed startled when the whole
encourage followed him intC
the police station and into the
commanding officers office.

q concentrated aCLack on Lnelr
common metro problems.
The taxi rate plan was APP
proved with only one dissent
at the conferences semiannual
dinner meeting at the May
flower Hotel. 1t already has
the support of cab regulatory
agencies throughout the area
and, officials said, of most rep
resentatives of the taxicab
industry here.
Adherence to the new rates
will be entirely voluntary by
cab operators, but most are
expected to go along.
The plan does not affect
fares charged by hackers for
trips that begin and end within
the political jurisdiction in
which the cab is licensed to
operate. 1t comes into play
only when cabs cross political
boundary lines.
Scale Of Fares
1t provides for fares Of:
/. Forty cents for each mile
or fraction thereof in the out
side jurisdiction for from one
to four passengers going to the
same destination.
2. Fifty cents per mile or
fraction thereof for five or
more passengers.
3. Thirty cents per mile or
fraction thereof for each des-
tination when passengers
bound for different destinations
ride as a group"
4. Flat rates from each Of the
Districts five taxi zones to any
one Of Is different destinations
In Virginia. Flat rates also are
proposed from each Of the five
District cab zones to the Mar
riott Motor Hotel in Virginia. In
these II cases Of specified des-
tinations, the rates apply to the
entire trip. In all other cases,
the standard rates apply only to
that part Of the trip outside the
home jurisdiction.
To Issue Insignia
The conference last night au-
thorized its steering committee
to prepare and distribute off,
cial insignia stickers and rate
cards for all cab operators
throughout the area who vol
unfairly agree TO go along with
the plan.
The taxi rate plan has been
developed during the last year
by a committee headed by
State Senator Edward s
Northrop Of Montgomery
County.
Only dissent to the plan last
night was voiced by Robert
Snure of Montgomery County
who said he felt some trips
under the new plan would moi
benefit taxi drivers in hi
county. Asked If his dissen'
represented the views Of cal

operators in his county, he
said the views were his own.
Approving the Northrop re-
port, the conference also urged
enactment of higher liability
Insurance requirements for
District cab drivers, and called
for tighter Federal restric-
tons over hackers operating
near Federal installations.
On another matter, District
Engineer Commissioner A. c.
yelling reported progress of
a committee shooting for
solutions to area water supply
and pollution abatement
problems.
Most dramatic Of the moves
pushed by his committee is a
bill before Congress which
would permit Fairfax County
to contract with the District
to handle some Fairfax sewage,
which would be carried across
the Potomac at Chain Bridge
TO the Districts main collector
sewer. Both Fairfax and
District officials strongly sup
port the idea-f1rst move
toward a joint District-Mary-
land-Virginia sewage disposal
operation.
Purity Standard Forecast
In addition. Col. yelling pre-
dicted that by the end Of this
year all three Jurisdictions will
have agreed on minimum
standards Of water purity which
should be striven for in the
Potomac from the Monoccscy
River to Occoquan Creek. The
two States now are studying
standards proposed.
Col. yelling also called for
a full grant Of $500, 900 by Con-
gress to further the Army En-
gineers' current study Of Po-
tomac supply and pollution
problems.
State Senator Charles r.
Fenwick Of Arlington urged
passage by Congress and the
Maryland Legislature Of an in
terstate compact (alreadys APP
proved by Virginia., which
would set up a commission to
regulate public transit on a
metro basis.
U. s. Studies Role
None Of US believes this
compact is the answer TO trans
portation problems" Mr.. Fen
wick said. But 1t is a start
which presents many bright
possibilities for things to come
Robert z. Merriam. United
States Budget Bureau deputy
director. lauded the confer
ence's accomplishments thus
far. He said the Federal
Government recognizes that it
has a role to play in metro
problems throughout the Ma
ton. and is trying now TO
determine its responsibilities.

Of WEn. E. Miller.

The Avenue Methodist Sanctuary
Choir will present the sacred can
tata "The Holy City" by Alfred
Gaul, Palm Sunday, March 30th,
at p. m in Avenue Methodist
Church, Milford, Delaware.
This cantata was originally
composed in 1882 for the Birming-
ham Music festival. 1t was GauTs
seth work and was well received.
THE Holy City" is almost entire
Iy reflective, dealing primarily
with the Vision of st. john. The
first part is the contemplation of
the Life to come and was suggest
ed by the scripture passages Here
Have We No Continuing City, and
Thy Kingdom Come. IL sets forth
the desire for higher life as ex-
pressed in the words, my Soul is
Athirst for God" and Eye Hath
Not Seen.
The second part depicts the Ad-
Oration of mankind for the Holy
City" and was suggested by the
words, 81 Saw a New Heaven and
New Earth, for the First Heaven
and Earth were Passed Away,
thus realizing the desire and pro-
misses contained in Part l.
The words for this Cantata are
largely scriptural, the exceptions
being the first chorus mo Shad-
