Singing Prince

A singing Italian prince IL
is the object of a 100000
damage suit filed here today
by a Washington nightclub
that claims he WEIGHED on a
scheduled appearance in order
to go see his new son in Italy.
The complaint, filled by
Casino Royal, names Domenico
Modugno and MICA Artists,
Ltd, a New York booking firm,
as defendants.
The suit claims the booking
firm and Mr.. Modugno agreed
to have the singer appear at
the nightclub the week Of
August 10. According to the
club ownership. it went to great
expense to publicize the ap-
pearance.
The complaint said, however,
that Mr.. Modugno, known in
this country for his hit record
ing of "Volare," begged of at
the last minute to return to his
native land to view his new son.

the battle was joined with

description of the advance of

minds one of TolStoy's battle

The men of the 5th, Balti-

in parade formation, three

tecting infantry on both
sides. But the Americans

tivities.
The company has asked to
eliminate weekly permits and
raise school fares as well as
dropping tokens.
Mr.. Falk last week recon-
mended allowing the company
a IT per cent return. He
backed the company's proposals
for a 10-cent school fare, in
stead of 71a cents, and a
straight 20-cent cash fare. with
no tokens. The tokens now
sell at 95 cents for five.
The transit franchise sug-
geStS that a 6.5 per cent an
nual operating return would be
not unreasonable" But it
doesn't set this as a ceiling.
Mr.. Falk has told the COM
mission he feels a return some
what higher than SIS per cent
is justified to meet rising costs
and keep the company in a DO
sition to attract investors.
The company later today was
expected to object strongly to
the Falk proposal to retain the
weekly permits, which sell for
80 cents and enable purchasers
to ride for 10 cents a ride. Mr..
Falk urged raising the permit
price to 81.
The company also is .ex-
pected to take issue with Mr..
Falk's other fare calculations.
It disagrees with his proposals
for a rate base.
Duane Vieth, Gray Line at
torney, suggested in effect that
the commission limit a fare
rise to the abandonment of
tokens.
Mr.. Vieth questioned Mr..
Falk on the company's profits
since 1856 under the manage
ment of o. Roy Chalk.
He asserted that the COM
pany has Melted ia per cent
on its original $50O,000 equity
investment. This was after
paying $4,000 in personal ex-
penseS Of Mr.. Chalk and other
company officials and covering
a deficit on charter and sight
seeing activities. Mr.. Falk adj
mitted.
Mr.. Falk has disallowed
another group Of executive ex-
penses. He has also excluded
charter and sightseeing activi-
ties from the base proposed for
calculating future fares.
Dropping the tokens would
produce about 1852 900 in new
revenue, Mr.. Falk estimated.
Raising the school fare to 10
cents would add another s72,-
900, and adopting a 81 weekly
permit would bring him
another SAG 900, he said.

IT WASN'T THAT BAD.
The Rambler searched the
shelves and came upon his
copy OF Neil Swanson's 1.-THE
PeriIous Fight and with
fascination reread the chap
tiers on the battle at the rude
bridge that was the entrance
to washington.
This Neil Swanson, a for
mer editor of the Baltimore
SunpaperS, is a remarkable
man. In 1898 he announced
that he was going to write
80 ".integrated" books that
would give a continuous story
of the advance of the Ameri-
can frontier. He has already
written about a dozen of
them and as he is 81 years
old, has the energy of a
Churchill and has retired
from newspaper work to de-
vote himself to this prof.
ect, there is every chance
that he will complete it.
AS a newspaperman would,
he starts his book with a
good lead: 1.-THE President
Of the United States was a
fugitive, wandering the
country roads on horseback.
Behind him Washington was
burning"
Some historians blame the
debacle on the commanding
officer, Brig. Gen. Winder-
but not Swanson. He notes
that Win der inStinctively
knew that Bladensburg
would be the scene of the
battle. 1t was the nearest
point where the British could
ford the AnacoStia. Destruc-
ton of the Navy Yard bridge
and one other nearby would
call for a boat crossing and
the British had left their
boats behind them.

The Negro applications at
WeSthampton pose a touchy
problem. Westhampton School
is less than four blocks from a
small Negro residential neigh
borhood. Negroes settled the
area about 95 years ago. long
before there were white homes
in the area. Now. the Negro
community of approximately
300 residents is surrounded by
white suburban residences.
The city formerly operated a
two-room school in the Negro
community. 1t was closed in
1851. Elementary-age children
from the Negro community
since then have been taken by
bus to Carver School, about
four miles away.
Richmond last year had a
total white enrolment of a.
$50, and Negro enrolment of
19, 961. At the elementary level,
Negroes outnumbered whites
14,977 to 1924.
Migration to Suburbs
There are 20 white elemen-
tary schools, six junior highs
and two white senior highs.
For the Negroes. there are II
elementary schools, three jun
ior highs and two senior highs.
Negro enrolment steadily
has increased in recent years
as Richmond, like Washington,
has experienced an outward
migration Of white families to
the suburbs.
Less than a fourth of the
city's school budget comes from
State sources. OF a total budget
of $8.6 million for 1958-59,
slightly more than 50 million is
the States share. This is the
difference Richmond would

Arlington school officials have

responsibility of the State Place

Placement Act. The State
Placement Act, part of the anti
Indignation legislation passed
by the General Assembly, took
the authority for placing stu
dents from local school boards.
Federal Court Judge Albert v.

The
Rambler
. Rereods
Bottle Story
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler had a lot of
fun yesterday reading.
This all came about when
he noticed an account in
The Sunday Star about the
re-enactment Of the landing
of the British at Benedict,
about so miles southeast OF
Washington on the Patuxent.
1t was an event in Charles
County's tercentenerary cele-
bration.
No Englishman you meet
has ever heard of the War
of 1912 and most Americans
(including the writer) know
little about 1t.
There is the true story of
the young woman historian
who went to England. An
English gentleman at PARTY
asked her about her work.
When he heard that it was
research on the War of 1912,
he asked what that was.
THAT was when you
burned Washington" she
said.
Good Lord" he exclaimed,
81 kn"w we burned Joan of
Arc-but not Washington"
But how many Americans
can locate the Battle of the
Thames or Lundy's Lane, or,
for that matter, tell what
happened at the Battle of
Bladensburg?
The Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA "a Chicago publica-
tom says that the British
marched from Benedict to
Washington almost without
opposition"

mond permitting. The State
fund cutoff law automatically
withholds State school funds
from any locality that attempts
to reopen schools closed by
indignation and operate them
with classes mixed. The Cover
nor must agree.
There is no talk of such a
move in Richmond, however.
Here, there is a close allegiance
to the State government and
the things for which it stands
which right now is school
segregation more than any,
thing else.
Some Critics Of Plan
There are critics of massive
resistance in Richmond, as
elsewhere. Some members of
the city's delegation in the
General Assembly are looked
upon as "moderates" on the
school issue. Two years ago,
when the General Assembly
was in the process of scrapping
the Gray plan in favor of the
sterner course of massive
resistance, the school board
issued a statement urging a
measure of local control which
the Gray plan permitted.
Since last falls gubernato-
rial election, there have been
few such arguments-at least
out loud-in Richmond.
The capital city, together
with Virginia as whole, gave
an overwhelming majority to
Gov. Almond and his MASSIVE
resistance platform, as opposed
to Republican State Senator
Ted Dalton and his. plea for
local pupil assignment.
The Richmond vote was
2l,777 for Gov. Almond, to
IL sos for Senator Dalton.
Richmond has made some
moves to improve relations,
which no doubt would raise a
ruckuS among segregationists
in sensitive area like
Arlington.
Negro Police and Firemen
The city has Negro police and
firemen. There is a Negro
member on the school board,
which the city council appoints.
Sometime before the end of
this month, the State Place
ment Board is expected to act
on the six Negro applications
from Richmond. In keeping
with State policy, 1t Is assumed
the Negro students will be re-
assigned to Negro schools. It
is at this point that legal action
is likely to develop. Attorney
Hill has promised whatever
steps are necessary" to get the
students into white schools
this fall.
Whether he can get a Fed
eral Court to act in time for the
scheduled opening Of classes
September 8, however, is an
other matter. 1t has taken
years of litigation to bring
Arlington, Charlottesville and
Norfolk face to face with inte-
grafton. True. the courts by
now have filtered through most
Of the issues. but it would seem
that Richmond has to travel
at least part Of the long legal
road.
