Area Faces Short
Polio Shot Supply
Only About
1850 SoIk
Shots Left

The District Health Depart
ment faces a shortage Of polio
vaccine with slightly more than
a weeks supply on hand, and
drug companies not making
any more immediate deliveries.
DR.. Daniel L. Finucane, Dis
trict Health Director, said yes
terday that the department has
about $500 shots of Salk vac
cine left.
We'll run this coming week
and part of the next week and
that's about ALL" DR.. Finucane
declared.
Last week the department
gave we'll over 1000 inocula-
tons in its free clinics. Six
hundred fifty persons we're in
oculated Friday night at the
special WUST Music Hall clinic,
Ninth and v streets NV. With
the departments free clinic
program gaining momentum,
the vaccine supply is expected
to be gone sooner than antici-
pated.
However. DR.. Finucane said,
I'VE are not saving or hiding it.
When it's gone. it's gone"
Meanwhile, private physi-
clans reported having very lit
tie vaccine on hand and the
wholesalers shelves are bare.
Similar situations exist in
the nearby counties. Clinics
were cancelled over a week ago
in Fairfax and Alexandria.
Prince Georges, Montgomery
and Arlington Counties are in
short supply.
Interest in the vaccine was
spanked here by six area polio
cases including one death re-
ported recently. The District,
Alexandria and Fairfax each
reported two cases.
Meanwhile District Health
Department clinics will con-
tinue as long as the vaccine
supply holds out. The Berret
School clinic is open at 1880
pm. Thursdays and at noon
Fridays. The Southwest Health
Center has a polio vaccine
clinic at noon on Wednesdays.

Planning Fund OKd
For Water System
BY the Associated Press

Approval of a $26,600 ad-
vance for planning a water sys-
tenn to be built in the Verona
Sanitary District near Staun-
ton, Va, was announced yester-
day by the Community Facili-
ties Administration.
The board of supervisors of
Augusta County estimates the
project will cost about S5OO,OOO.
Construction is expected to be-
gin before the end of 1860.

governmental chaos would de-
velop, he said.
Il can assure the members
of this committee that we dis
like injecting such conclusions
in the records of these hear
IingS but we believe they are
sound" he said. I'VE believe
the committee should be in
formed of the thinking of an
intensely interested group OF
leaders in this community. We
conclude that enactment OF
home-rule legislation would be
injurious to the Federal City
that we would be remiss in oul
responsibility if we did not
review these matters at this
time"
AuchincIOss Explains
Earlier. Representative Au-
chincloss. Republican of New
Jersey. spoke for his own bill
for a new kind of commission
government for the District.
The Federal interest would be
maintained by the presidential
nomination of 10 candidates
Five would be elected by the
people to serve on the ruling
commission, according to Mr.
AuchincloSS.
| He said Congress would sur
render none of its ultimate
power over the District. But he
advised against a non-voting
delegate to the House because
congressional representation
would raise a conflict of au-
thority."
What would happen to q
Commissioner the people want.
ed to re-elect if a new President
of a different party refused tc
nominate him?" Mr.. Davis
wanted to know.
Mr.. AuchincloSs conceded
that only petitions and pres
sure could be taken to the
White House. No doubt. nom.
inees would be of the same po'
litical party as the President
he said.
Chairman Mcmillan said HI
preferred the Auchincloss bill
to the territorial bill, which
home-rule proponents are seek
ing to discharge from the com
mittee by petition.

Front Royal
School Enro|Is
11NegroPupi|s
Only IS Whites
Of 1850 Eligible
Sign for Glasses

| TWIN W. AL va mug
IA (AP).-Eleven Negroes and
IS white students registered
yesterday for fall term classes
at Warren County High School.
1t was the first time the two
races appeared together on the
school grounds since the segre-
cation controversy began last
September.
While the number OF white
regiStrants seemed small in
comparison to the 1850 eligible
to attend the school, County
School Supt. @. D. Gasque said
he expected a larger turnout
today when parents won't be
working.
The IL Negroes who regis
tered were among 81 who at
tended the high school last
year, Mr.. Gasque said. They
were the only students who
attended classes when the
school was desegregated in
February.
$500 Ask Segregation
Warren County High was
closed last September under
now-defunct massive resistance
laws struck down by Federal
and State courts. White stu
dents in February chose to re-
main in private school set UP
by the Warren County Educa-
tional Foundation.
At a mass meeting here
Thursday night, more than
$500 county residents voted
overwhelmingly to continue the
private school this year. Reg
istration for it is scheduled
next week.
Several parents who asked
to remain unidentified said yes
terday they were sending their
children to register for the
public school but would enter
them in the private school if
! it opens again this fall.
Charles E. Leadman, busi-
ness agent for the local Textile
Workers Union. said a petit
ton seeking to declare the
public high school surplus and
to sell the property probably
would be filed in the circuit
court here today.
Referendum Possible
Under a State law passed
at the recent special session
of the Virginia legislature, the
court must order a referendum
if the petition is signed by 10
per cent of the number of
persons who voted in the last
presidential election. About 200
signatures would be required,
and Leadman said between
600 and 700 county residents
had signed.
Mr.. Leadman said also that
a meeting of various commu-
nifty officials and representa-
tives of the Negroes seeking
admission to white schools will
be held next week. Some OBJ
servers said the referendum
petition would be used in an
effort to disSuade the Negroes
from seeking to attend the
white school.
Could Be Sold
1 If citizens vote to declare the
building surplus in a referen-
dunn, the property presumably
could be sold to a private cor
poratlon for use as a segregated
school for white children.
School officials other than
Mr.. GaSque would not release
any information on registration
proceedings. and newSmen were
prohibited from entering the
school grounds. Mr. Gasque
said 80 Negroes enrolled for the
new combined Negro school
scheduled for completion by the
time the fall term begins on
August 81.
Indignation apparently will
take place in four Virginia
school systems this fall besides

The Experts Advise
Moving Your Pictures

Move the pictures about on
your walls as you do your
furniture.
That's the advice from ex-
perts at the National Gallery
Of Art. They contend 1t is
refreshing TO change the To-
cation Of pictures because
you see them in a new light
and often you see new things
in them-it's much more in
teresting than having the
same picture hang in the
same place on the same wall
for 20 years"
The ideal thing. according
to the experts, is to have
enough good pictures to al
ternate them with the sea-
sons. hanging some and stor-
ing others. The next best
thing. they say. is to move
pictures from one room to
another. But If that is not
feasible. they advise chang
ing the pictures from one wall
to another in the same room.
A Gallery authority, asked
for pointers in hanging pic
lures, told an interviewer
from the National Associa-
ton Of Home Builders, What

The Rules
However. she said. there
are some general rules. She
explained:
IAN important picture
should be made the focal
point Of the room. 1t should
be hung on the best wall
where 1t gets the best light.
But a glaSs-frame picture
shouldn't be hung opposite a
window for it will reflect the
light and seem like a mirroc.
you should never have a
painting over a fireplace
although so many do-be-
cause this dries out the paint.
But it is even worse to hang
a picture over a radiator.
The constant heat during a
large part of the year, COM
ing up in waves. dries out the
paint, the frame and the
paper"

should be governed largely

vanished from family rela-

believe, unfortunately so.
Sewing remains as the lone
interest and art which a

should start teaching your

the individual dexterity OF
the child. II may be as early
as 5 as late as Q

urally be hand sewing. Try

There's no doubt about the
fact that you'll have to set
aside time for this project.
Whether you're guiding her
hands through the first
stitches, or showing her how
to raise the presser foot Of
your sewing machine. you'll
have to be on tap.
One important fact TO re-

A sense OF unity is
achieved, she continued, by
having pictures at a similar
level around a room although
there may be exceptions to
this because Of pieces of fur
