Conreid Unmasked (AImost)
Associated Press Writer


NEW YORK.-Hans Conreid was brooding
the other day over the new phenomenon of
personality" as introduced to modern life by
American television.
After years of steady employment as a
perfectly respectable actor Everything from
ShakeSpearean roles to mad Scientists) Conreid
went on the Jack Paar Show and quite soon
found himself personality"
"At first felt naked" he recalled. There

hide behind. had to talk, and that wasn't too
hard, of course. I've been talking since l was
year old. Then, guess, began creating the
personality of Hans Conreid, a role to hide
behind"
But who, asked fellow, really is Conreid?
What Is he?
Conreid fixed his dark eyes on the fellow
Somberly and offered a clue: The true COnreid
lives happily with his wife and two sons in a
large California house that contains 1000 books,
most of which he's read. But he refused to
divulge' anything further about the secret life
of Hans Conreid except that he wants another
bookcase in his house and there doesn't seem
to be room for it.
Conreid has become personality thanks
to his appearances on the Paar show and other
TV panel programs But it hasn't hurt his
professional career an actor. In fact, his
career has been enhanced with more offers for
better roles.
Last Sunday, for example he co-starred
with william Bendix in THE Ransom of Red
Chief" an NBCTV special which also featured
Mickey Rooneys 9-year -old son. Teddy.
Conreid admits that he enjoys playing the

Requirements
For Tuition
Schools Hit

Minimum requirements for
private schools that could get
tuition grant money in Vir-
GINA were attacked last night
as stupid" by a member of the
Fairfax County School Board.
Board member Clyde w.
Gleason said the minimum re-
quirements set up by the State
could mean poor teachers" in
"Substandard" private school
buildings.
DR.. Gleason made these COM
mentS during general discus
sion of the State regulations.
Under a law passed by the Gen.
eral Assembly, a parent may
apply for a $3.50 tuition grant
for his child to attend a public
or private nonSectarian school
anywhere in the United States.
The law was passed to ease
the impact of court orders re-
quiring indignation in some
Virginia communities. Fairfax
County has no integrated
schools, but is faced with APP
plications from rs Negro young
sters to eight white county
schools this fall.
The State Pupil Placement
Board, considering a number
of applications from around
the State, has failed to approve
the rs Fairfax County Negroes
applications.
DR.. Gleason pointed out to
other board members that un-
der the States minimum re-
quirements for private schools
a high school graduate could
get a special license to teach
for a year. A whole private
school could be stated with
such teachers, he said.
Private schools operating I'M
der such conditions could be
"drastically and markedly in
ferior," he added.
The board made no policy
decisions on the matter.

The present system causes
two-thirds Of the children in

times during the day." Mr..
Solomon said, asserting that
"this seems to be a GiTtinct

He suggested also that the

"power play" to take over con-
troll Of the party.
The statement by Lawson
Wimberly followed Mr.. Kaul's
resignation last Friday from
the committee. Mr.. Raul is one
of two candidates of the nom

Better County who are seeking
County Board seats against a
Democratic candidate. A Re-
publican and an independent
also are in the race for the two
board seats to be filled in No

1T is interesting to note that
you took one sentence to ten

remainder of the two pages Of
