BY RICHARD OLONE
star stan Writer

Charles s. Rhyme, president
of the American Bar Associa-
ton, Just back from a visit to
Russia, said today even Rus
slams can't resist patting q
small boy on the head.
His 8-year-old son, Billy &C
companied him on the trip.
and more than earned his way.
BILLY was our great leveler,"
he said. Everybody came
up to pat him on the head. and
talk to him. and then they'd
talk to me. It put everything
on a friendly basis"
He and Billy went into q
store in Leningrad and were
soon surrounded by a mob Of
friendly, curious Russians. who
fired questions at them for
nearly two hours, he said.
"They asked all about Billy,
and where he went to school.
and II he had a bike. They
wanted to know If anybody in
America owned two cars. They
asked how much my shoes cost.
and my coat. and they wanted
to know If the people Of
America felt friendly" he said.
Finally. a bell rang to close
the store. or we'd have been
there yet" he said.
He and Billy often slipped
away from officialdom and
guided trips to chat with the
Russian man-on-the-street, he
said. He said everywhere they
went, they found someone who
talked in English.
Their desire for informa-
ton about US is most intense"
he said. They are like starving
people"
Mr.. Rhyme said he is con-
WINGED that the average Rus
sian has q sincere desire to
lavoid war.

RHYMES Son Breaks the Ice in Russia

tional Bar Associations con-
vention in Cologne, Germany,
and then headed a delegation
of six lawyers who visited
Russia to find out what they
could about law behind the Iron
Curtain.
He said they visited four
cities, and questioned about so
lawyers and judges, in sessions
that sometimes lasted three
hours.
II don't think anybody in
Russia has ever been cross
examined the way we cross
examined them" he said.
He summed up his conclu-
sions this way:
"The Russians understand
law, but they don't use it the
way we do. Law behind the
Iron Curtain Is used by the
Communist Party to control
the people-to keep them from
accommodating instruments Of
power such as'money, land. and
free association"
However, he said. Premier
Khrushchev has somewhat
liberalized the administration Of
justice.
II got the impression that
Khrushchev, by throwing the
people q few crumbs, has start
ed a trend that may become
irresistible" he said.
On the way home. Mr..
Rhyme said, they stopped at the
Brussels Fair, where Billy de-
monstrated he wasn't falling
for any Russian propaganda.
They visited the Russian pavil-
ion, which exhibited shiny
autos and other symbols of
/ good living.
Billy said Dad, we didn't
see many autos or things like
that in Russia. This whole thing
is q fraud He was quite in
dignant."

Supt. williams said he had
no plans TO request a special
school board meeting because
he did not believe there was
any action the local school
board could take. The power
OF assigning students. he de-
clared, rests with the State
Pupil Placement Board as far
as Alexandria Is concerned.
The next regular school board
meeting is scheduled for Sep
tember 10-two days after
school opens.
Chairman Robert c. Howard
also said he did not anticipate
any special school board meet
ing. He said the letters were
simply requests for transfers
and, like all such requests, they
are an administrative mat
ter" and require no action Of
the school board.
Pinned on Areas
All but three Of the applica-
tons represent an attempt by
students to attend schools closer
to their homes. said Mr.. Tucker.
The seven applicants for Pat
rick Henry all live in the Lin
colnia area, at the far western
end Of the city. Patrick Henry
is the closest school, said Mr..
Tucker. The Negro school they
normally would attend is the
new Lyles Crouch Elementary
in the opposite end Of the city.
The two applicants for Fran
els Hammond High also live
in the Lincolnia neighborhood.
Francis Hammond is located
several miles from Lincolnia
in the western portion Of the
city. Parker-Gray High for
Negroes is in the downtown
section.
Both applicants for Ficklin
are from the same family. They
live within four blocks Of the
school, which Is located in
downtown Alexandria. One OF
the students has been attend
ling class in the Charles Hues-
ton Annex, located in a recrea-
ton hall in a housing project,
said Mr.. Tucker. The other
child will be entering school for
the first time this fall.
The three applicants for
George Washington High
School probably live closer to
Parker-G Gray. said Mr.. Tucker,
but Parker-Gray still is q
segregated school,"
George Washington and
Parker-Gray are located about
four blocks apart, separated
by the railroad tracks.
| Alexandria last year had q
total enrolment of 14,077
which was about II per cent

Election Law
RuIingAsked
ByGoldburn

A Rockville attorney asked
the Montgomery County Cir
cult Court yesterday to decide
whether Maryland election
laws requiring the advertising
of candidates petitions apply
to the county school board cleo
ton.
The suit was initiated BY
Glenn j. Goldburn. who in
tends to file for the, third
council district school board
seat this week.
The suit also carries the
name of j. Hodge Smith, at
torney to the board Of election
supervisors, in q bid to get
court Interpretation of the new
election laws.
The law specifically asserts
candidates not nominated by
an official political party shall
be nominated by petition and
the petitions advertised. The
candidate bears the cost Of the
advertisement.
Mr.. Smith previously ruled
that the law affects the school
board election in Montgomery
County. Mr.. Goldburn con-
tends the law does not affect
the nonpartisan election.
Blair Lee III, chairman OF
the Montgomery delegation to
the General Assembly, and
Delegate Charles w. Woodward
Dr., who worked on the election
laws, has said the Legislature
did not intend that the ad-
vertising provision should NOT
apply to the school board elec-
ton.
Board members receive nc
salary. Mr.. Goldburn says il
would cost q candidate at large
$165 for the advertisement.

This is the biggest thing
that has ever happened to
wilkins Coffee and to this
agency. We have sold New

the muppets to La Touraine

Federal District Judge John

Typical, Says Thomson
Delegate James M. Thomson,
of Alexandria, who won re-
election as a segregationist
said he was mot surprised to
learn that the NAACP has Sc
lected IA plaintiffs with which
to force indignation on the
people Of Alexandria. It Is
typical of the Communist tao
tics used by this organization
It follows their premise of nc
matter how much you give US
we want more
Delegate Thomson said he
hoped "the people Of Alexan-
dria will join hand in hand tc
fight the immoral and unjust
intrusion Of the racist MACE
into Alexandria affairs"
In his election campaign last
year, Delegate Thomson in
sisted the States massive
resistance" laws which he sup
ported would not actually shut
down schools for any length OF
time. He said today that
classes affected by enrolment
of Negro students could be
deleted from a single school
an dthe remainer Of that school
can be kept open for insruc-
ton. The massive resistance
laws, he said, empower the
Governor with complete au'
thority to reassign teachers
and pupils.
