Warren Pupil
Placing Plan
Held Illegal
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star star Writer

HARRISoNBURG. Va, Sept.
6.-Warren County has been
told it cannot legally bar %
Negro pupils from its white high
school. but the prospect of their
imminent enrolment appears
doubtful.
Federal Judge John Paul on
Monday will sign a temporary
Injunction restraining the bar
ring Of the Negro high school
pupils. but the action still
win be open to an appeal by the
State.
The county yesterday became
the sixth Virginia community
to be told by q Federal Judge it
cannot keep q Negro child out
Of a white school because Of
race.
Judge Paul's ruling, he an
nounced, was based on the lack
Of a Negro high school in War
rem County and the county's
practice of sending its Negro
high school pupils to schools
elsewhere.
At the same time, he denied
a preliminary injunction for
four elementary students who
were assigned to the Front
Royal Elementary School for
Negroes.
After the hearing. Judge Paul
was asked if, in view of con-
flicting views over whether
placement is a State or local
responsibility, Negro high school
students Of Warren County
would be legally eligible" to
enter the white schools once he
signs an order.
He replied they would be
eligible.
Oliver w. Hill Of Richmond,
an attorney for the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, who
represents the applicants was
asked whether the pupils would
apply for admission when the
order is signed.
II don't know" he answered.
"A lot of things can happen"
This was taken to mean that
1t might depend on whether
Judge Paul would postpone
execution of his order pending
appeal or whether the Fourth
Circuit Court Of Appeals would
direct a delay.

Sujono Djopo, a 28-year-old
Javanese student, boarded a
southbound bus here this week
on the last lap of his walking
tour" around the world.
His travels began four years
ago in Djakarta, Indonesia,
with another adventurous
schoolmate, Abdullah Balbed Of
Bali, who now lives in the
District. Each was equipped
with S rupiahs (25 cents and
the fervent desire to visit the
world on foot.
They walked pretty much Of

they hid in trees at night for

Burma.
In Afghanistan, a sandstone
nearly ended the trip-they'd
run out Of food and water for
three days, were rescued in the
nick of time by a camel cara
van.
They learned to accept the
unexpected: In Cairo, Sujono
met an Egyptian coed and in
sisted Abdullah wait two weeks
while he wooed her. Letters
followed, and the pair became
engaged by mail)
The journey across the Sa-
hara was long and hot, and
the two eventually gave way
to conventional desert trans
portation-camels and donkeys.,

of the Zoo, conjectures that
joey was born about June 5 or
Is. His birth was first detected
because Of the mothers swollen
pouch about mid-July and joey
peeped out for his first look at
the nonmarsupial world on
July Is.
Since then a lively COMPETE
ton has been going on among
the Zoo keepers to be first to
see the little guy climb out Of
the pouch for his maiden trip
to terra firma. Baby kangaroos
are only thumb-sized when
born. They crawl blindly into
the pouch and there they stay
unseen, for 40 days before TAX
ing interest in the outside.
The reason for this long Sc
clusion is obvious; the food sup
ply of milk is located inside and
joey never lets himself get
separated from it in the early
going. f
DR.. Reed expects joey to
climb out and start hopping
around any day now. But even
when he does, the pouch will
remain his dining room. his
hideaway and his bedroom fol-

When he gets too big for the

Space for X-ray, waiting and
examination rooms was pro-

This will be a tremendous
blow to our program" DR., En-
glar said.
He said residents in the
southern area who need pre-
ventive medical care will not
travel the distance to Cheverly.
It will require a trip Of 20 miles
or more in some cases, DR..
Englar said.

When he said the Office serves

outlying sections, the detailed
data was Immediately requested
by Commissioners Jesse S.

robbery.
Police Pvts. Theodore A..
Thoman and Anthony Zurvalek
said he told them he had been
in trouble before" and was at
tempting to escape because
I'D rather be shot than go
back to Jail"
Man Attacked on Street
The case began developing
about 3 am. when three men
approached Homer D. Knowles,
43. Of 1880 Seventeenth street
NV, as he waited for a. bus
at Fourteenth and K streets
NV. One Of the men. Mr..
Knowles said, pulled a knife

Mr.. Knowles was chasing
the men through Franklin
Park when the scout car with
the two policemen arrived.
Car Cruises Area
The policemen took Mr.,
Knowles aboard and began
cruising the area. Entering an
alley between K and l. streets
Just Of Thirteenth, the victim
spotted the three men. They
fed, with Pvts. Thoman and
Burvalek in pursuit on foot.
Pvt. Burvalek grabbed one
by the shirt, but the man broke
loose and ran on toward
Twelfth street. BY this time
both policemen were shouting
a warning.

Court HOUSEKEEPING case which
resulted in a reversal Of Dur
hams conviction. While revers-
ing the conviction Tin 195D,
the United States Court Of APP
peals here set UP a new legal
insanity test for the District.
Necessity Denied
DR.. Caprio told Mr.. McLaugh-
lin he did not feel 1t was ''nec-
essary" for him to refer to the
st. Elizabeths records or rec
ords of District Jail.
II was not uncertain about
my diagnosis" the psychiatrist
added.
District Judge Burnita Shell
ton Matthews found it neces-
sary to intervene, on at least
two occasions, calling for bench
conferences that resulted in ex-
clusion Of reading Of the Legal
Psychiatric Services report and
records Of Durham's recent
conduct at District Jail.
During the entire trial, Dur
ham himself has sat in one Of
the deep red courtroom chairs,
his expression never changing.
He has shown no reaction to
any of the testimony involving
him in the robbery.
Earlier yesterday his wife.
Mrs. Franny Durham. told the
jury she had tried desperately"
to have her husband committed
to a mental institution. How
ever, she said that because Of
residence difficulties she was
unsuccessful.
She called Durham a won
derfuI husband" whose attitude
toward life changed" in March
so that he felt his friends were
against him.

the books he had written dealt

DR.. Caprio said he based his
opinion on Durham's mental

he had with the defendant late
last month and early this week,

Postal Rute

Continued From Page -
cided the varied costs of mail
ing letters until, in 1870, a two
cent rate was established for a
first class one-ounce letter. This
rate remained till 1882 when the
cost was raised to three cents to
meet a postal department deficit.
Even air postal service, estab-
lished only 40 years ago in 1918,
has seen a great change in rates.
The first air mail letters cost "a
cents per ounce, and the chance
that the letters would arrive via
the early, less airworthy planes,
was a debatable one.
Before the development of adj
hesive stamps in 1847, postmast-
ers merely used stamp or quill
pen to write paid" on the enve-
lope. The first stamps used were
a five-center with the picture of
the first postmaster general, Ben
iamin Franklin, and d ten-center
with picture of George Wash
ington.
The U. S. postal department to-
day, has about $4,000 post offices
located all over the nation. The
system serves over ITO million
persons and handles nearly two
thirds of the worlds mail.
Reports show that more than
"a billion stamps are sold yearly,
despite the fact that more than
half of our mail is metered.
Thirty two thousand rural letter
arrierS travel a million and a
half miles each working day, to
deliver the nations mail, and
over 100000 postal employees
handle over 60 billion pieces of
mail yearly, including nearly a
billion parcels. The postal depart
ment is in big business and in
creasing demands are being seen
all the time.
The new rates should alleviate
many of the departments finan-
cial problems, and continue to in
crease efficient, sure service.
