ization to award degrees other
than those for education.
Today, the school can only
award bachelor Of science de-
grees in education. Last year
a House subcommittee refused
to approve a bill which asked
authorization for the college to
award masters degrees. Critics
Iof the proposed Legislation
argued it would give the college
room to set up a city college.
Under the new plan, school
officials seek authority, also tc
award an associate arts de-
gree" given after two years OF
study. This represents the
Junior college" idea.
Approval of the plan, both
by the standing committe on
the college (made up of three
board members) and the full
school board, would probably
remove any threat to the &C.
creditation Of the school. The
Commission on Institutions Of

Not every guardsman will
be able TO qualify for the paid
jobs. Proficiency in trigo-

a requirement. The purpose
of assigning sites to the Ma

is to save money and the
measure of that saving
largely will be the time put

Plight Of Housing
Ring Explains
D. c. Dilemma
At Workshop
BY AL ALBRANDO
Star star Writer

Washington's public housing
program faces q bleak future
unless new sites are found,
James Ring, executive director
OF the National Capital Housing
Authority, declared today.
At the same time the hous-
ing official and a staff menu
Der of the Acknowledgement Land
Agency disclosed that the two
agencies are discussing loca-
ton of future public housing
projects in near Northwest
urban renewal areas.
Mr.. Ring outlined the plight
of the authority in the first
of a series of monthly work.
shop sessions for NCHA man.
agement employees.
In a major policy statement
he said that the authority has
been frustrated by the alb
sence Of buildable vacant land
in the District and by restric-
lions on the cost of sites in GER
tain deteriorated areas"
One Site in Two Years
Mr.. Ring said the District
Urban Renewal Council two
years ago recommended at least
$500 more public housing units
for persons displaced by urban
renewal and Slum clearance.
This is in addition to 1900
dwelling units now under con.
Struction.
Since 1856 the authority
has been searching for
sites on which to locate the
first $500 of the needed $500
units" he said. I'VE have
found one site which is in
the initial stages of develop
ment. But the project to be
constructed will only provide
174 dwelling units"
James Banks, of the Redevel.
opment Land Agency, empha.
sized that Washington'S urban
renewal program could not pro-
coed beyond work now under
way unless sites are found for
public housing to provide homes
for those who are displaced.
He said about 1000 of the
1000 families in Southwest
already have been moved from
the area. He added that the
complete demolition of the re-
mainder within the next two
years would require finding
LiberaIized Laws Hoped For
Mr.. Ring and Mr.. Banks
suggested that solution to the
site dilemma will probably be
found in liberalized housing
laws and land made available
after it is cleared of Slums by
RIA.
If the two agencies do work
out an agreement which will
provide sites for public housing
it will be the first time NCHA
has obtained sites from the
RIA.
Mr.. Ring stressed the need
for four and five bedroom
dwelling units. The $4,000.
per-unit limit on public hous.
ing here has restricted con.
struction of the larger dwell
ingS. Mr.. Ring indicated he
hopes Congress will raise this
limit.

1t was amended, however, to
put the Northern Virginia

is not permitted under existing

by a strong voice vote
at a special meeting Of the

ton, director of the Northern
Virginia district. who presided
at the meeting. said the original
resolution was presented gin
the belief it might serve a more
useful purpose" than resolu-
lions supporting either local
cotton or massive resistance.
The idea, he explained, was
to offer some course of action
that PTA's all over the State
might support, and in that way
attempt to avert a bitter split
within the State organization
over the question of school de-
segregation.
Stanley King. delegate from
Hammond High, seemed to sum
up the sentiment of the ma
jority when he said:
"This, the original resolution,
says every man for himself and
the devil take the schools. The
only issue before us is whether
schools are to be closed or re-
main open. We have no right
to deny any child an 'hour's
schooling, or one days school,

Mr.. King, who is United
States Commissioner in Alex
andris and an active civic
leader in the city. was ap-
plauded when he called the
original resolution "mealy-
mouthed."
Another amendment was
offered to encourage PTA CO.

A lady school superintendent

The occasion was the annual
pistol tournament Of the United

of the Nations top sharp

But the deadly seriousness
of the 200 experts banging
away at bull's-eyes on the Park

opening round of the three-day
event all the drama Of an old

In the role of modern-day
Annie Oakley out to show up
the menfolk was Mrs. Oleta

ex-school teacher, who is SUI

Group Loses
Liquor Fight
Macarthur Blvd.
Transfer OKd

The Palisades Citizens As
ISOLATION today lost a second
round in its fight against the
transfer of a Macarthur boule-
ward liquor store license.
The defeat came in a ruling
by District Judge Edward M.
Curran. dissolving q preliminary
Injunction against the transfer
of the license Of Macarthur
Liquors, Inc, from 5136 Mac
Arthur boulevard to 1881 Mac
Arthur boulevard NV.
Judge Curran said the associ-
alton and three individual
plaintiffs had mo standing to
sue" over the granting Of a
transfer early last month by
the Districts Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board.
This court cannot grant an
injunction where damage is
speculative, for equity will not
interfere by Injunction unless
Iit be q material and actual
Injury existing or presently
Threatened and not one that
is fanciful, theoretical, or
merely possible, or that is
doubtful, eventual or contin-
gent" Judge Curran said.
Preliminary INDUCTION
The preliminary injunction
against the transfer was
GRANTED on August % by Dis
trict Judge Luther w. Young
dahl on the ground that the
ABC Board was arbitrary and
capricious" in ignoring the
protests of 412 residents in the
new store location.
On August 6 Judge Young
dahl granted a temporary re-
straining order. requiring Addy
Basin, owner of the liquor
store, to stop doing business
at 1881 Macarthur boulevard
NV. and return to the old
location. The preliminary in
junction had the same effect.
Judge Youngdahl set next
Wednesday as the trial date,
but Judge Curran's action to-
day precludes any trial on the
issues in the case.
James M. Earnest, attorney
for the association. has main
tanned that the board went
outside the record during a
July hearing on the transfer
question in making a survey
of the neighborhood. Mr..
Earnest also objected to a lack
of adequate rules to guide him
in his protest before the board.
In granting the preliminary
injunction last month, Judge
Youngdahl agreed the rules
were "willfully inadequate-a
token compliance with the
statutory prerequisite"
Consistent With Ruling
Judge Curran's action today
is consistent with a ruling he
made in June when the associ-
alton brought suit to stop the
granting by the ABC board in
October of the original license
at 5136 Macarthur boulevard
NV. At that time, too, Judge
Curran held the association
could show no specific damage
and had no right to sue.
In the case before him today
three individual residents of
the Macarthur boulevard
neighborhood had Joined in the
suit with the association. The
judges ruling indicated that
the individual plaintiffs also
had failed to show any mate
rial damage.
Mr.. Earnest has appealed the
June decision and indicated he
would also appeal the new de-
cision.
