AS in the past, nearly all of
the new pictures were chosen
from 1900 prints in the UNESCO

The standard of selection for
the UNESCO group is threefold:
the significance of the artist in
the history of world painting;
the Importance of the particular
picture as representative of his
work; and the fidelity of the re-
production.

Rockville's unique program
of loaning out reproductions
of great paintings so they may
be hung in homes and offices
in the city for a month before
being returned to the library
for others to enjoy is now II
months old-and an unquali-
fled success.
This week, there were "a ad-
ditionS to the collection of
fran d color reproductions
bringing the total available for
borrowing to 102. The latest ad-
ditions were made possible by a
5000 grant from the Rockville
mayor and council. In return,
the library will rotate five new
pictures each month in the city's
Civic Center.
Mrs. Rose C. Miller, head IL
brarian, reports that the picture
loan service, originated by her
on December 2, 1856, with As pic,
lures, has proved tremendously
popular. Another % pictures
were added in May, 1857, and the
new additions bring the total up
to 102.
Landscapes, French impress
sionists and the old masters are
among the most popular, Mrs.
Miller says. The minority who
favor modern distractions make
up in enthusiasm for what
they lack in numbers. Picasso's
"Still Life with Antique Head"
and THE Woman in White" for
instance always have a waiting
list.
The two pictures that have
proved the least popular are

no explanation for this.

tate for purchase of the land
from the agency.
In rejecting other proposals
from prospective developers Of
the 1.5-acre site, the RIA board
said it was accepting the
proposition of the Rulon BROTH
ers because they seemed best
qualified to carry out such a
project.
IT am not willing to accept

insanity Plea
Fails Durham,
2 Convicted
BY PHIL THOMAS
Star star Writer

For the third time in his life,
Monte w. Durham has been
found guilty of a crime despite
a plea that he was insane when
it happened.
A District Court jury brought
in the guilty verdict yesterday
after 45 minutes of elaboration
and four days of trial testi-
mony. Found guilty with Dur
ham on a robbery charge was
Jessie Broughman. 40, of the
900 block of Maryland avenue
NE.
Mrs. Jean Dwyer, Durham's
attorney, said she expects to
file this morning a request for
a directed verdict of not guilty
by reason of insanity with Dis
trict Judge Burnita Sheldon
Matthews, who presided at the
robbery trial.
Durham and Broughman had
been charged with taking $437
from another man in July dur
ing a yoke robbery in the rest
room of the Virginia Grill at
Ninth and New York avenue
NV.
The verdict as to Durham
came as a surprise to many in
the courtroom. Trial evidence
had shown that Durham. 80,
of the 5000 block of Dent place
NV, was suffering from a
mental illness at the time OF
the crime.
DR.. Frank Caprio, a psychia-
trist testifying for the defense
also said the crime was the
product Of Durham's illness.
This followed to the letter
the requirements of a new in
sanity test-now known as the
Durham rule up by this
United States Court of Appeals
here in 1854.
Reversing Durham's earlier
conviction for a 1851 house
breaking. the court called fol-
a verdict of not guilty by rea-
son of insanity where trial evil
dence shows a crime is the
product Of a defendants men
tai disease or defect.
Durham was subsequently
tried again on the housebreak-
ing charge, and a second guilty
Notwithstanding a second in
sanity, plea-was also reversed
on grounds the trial judge had
erred in his instructions to the
jury as to the provisions Of the
law.

School Cook Fired
For Integrotion Suit

The mother of two Negro
students who are suing the
Alexandria School Board for
admission to a white school was
fired yesterday from her job as
Ia cook at an elementary school
because of the suit.
Mrs. Blois o. Hundley, AZ, OF
400 South st. Asaph street,
was discharged by Supt. T. c.
williams, who is defendant
along with the school board in
the indignation suit.
Mrs. Hundley has eight chill
dren and works to support
them.
Mrs. Hundley said she was
$50 shocked that all I said was
Thank you.' and left"
after ALL" she said, II am
not suing the school board for
spite-I'm simply suing in order
to obtain my rights and the
rights of my children"
Mrs. Hundley, a cook at the
Lyles Crouch School, two blocks
from her home, said she was
summoned to the Office OF
Elizabeth .Meister, director of
cafeteriaS, shortly before 4 pm.
and dismissed on Mr.. Williams
orders.
Work Is Satisfactory"
Mr.. Williams said: Mrs
Hundley's work Gin her three
years in the school SYSTEM
was entirely satisfactory. We
have had no complaints. We
promoted her and complied
with her request this year to
be transferred to a school
nearer her home. Then she
turned around and sued us.
I'VE couldn't very well con-
tinue to employ her after such
a slap in the face. If we had
continued, it would have been
condoning her action. Her race
had nothing to do with it. If
she had been red or green it
would have been no different. -
Mrs. Hundley. who until last
week was a cafeteria helper at
Robert E. Lee School, said she
has been practically swamped''
with offers of jobs since her
firing became known.
Some of the offers, she said,
would bring in considerably

issued a joint condemnation Of
the plan and asked CAA to find
a different one.
A resolution expressing these
sentiments will be presented at
a meeting Thursday morning
between CAA officials and a
special protest committee from
the Fairfax County Board OF
Supervisors.
The CAA plan calls for a
treatment plant at the north
end of the airport, which would
discharge treated sewage into
Broad Run, and thence into
the Potomac above Little Falls,
where the areas major supply
of drinking water is taken.
OccOquan Greek Proposed
Fairfax officials, already up
in arms, have asked the agency
to build a plant south of Chan
tilly. This would provide a
much longer drainage path be-
fore the eff1uent reached Deco
guam Creek, considerably above
the point of Alexandria's water
supply.
William Moss, Fairfax board
member, told the council yes
terday the CAA's only reply to
the Fairfax request was that
the Potomac plant would be
cheaper"
What raised the planners ire
| is, that officials of the entire
area have given top priority to
preventing sewage discharge
into the Potomac for several
miles above Little Falls. Strin-
gent restrictions on development
will be more difficult as the
area expands. they feel - but
more important as greater num-
bers of consumers draw on
