Supt. Ray E. Reid said his first
estimate was $150,000.
Under the Perrow Commits
sion plan, now being con-
sidered by the General AS
sembly. all students attending
private, non-sectarian schools
would be eligible for state tut
ton grants not to exceed $3.50
a year. Under the formula
devised. Arlington would have
TO put UP SITS Of the $3.50.
At a county board-school
board budget session last
night. Supt. Reid said about
600 Arlington children now
attending private schools would
be eligible for the grants. He
said he could not estimate how
many students now attending
public schools would seek tut
ton grants to attend private
schools.
School officials said that in
addition to putting up the SITS
for the tuition grants. Airing
ton will lose State money
average daily attendance
funds for the students who
leave the public school system.
If students included in the
Federal aid program leave the
system. the county also would
lose a proportionate amount of
that money, they said.
1000 Held Possible
Mr.. UrbanSke said, 1T is not
beyond the realm of reason"
to suppose that 900 Arlington
children would be getting tut
Ftion grants next year if the
Perrow Commissions proposals
were enacted.
Robert Peck, School Board
chairman, said that even
though the county might have
to pay for private buttons, the
cost Of operating the school
system would not be appre-
ciably reduced unless there is
a "big exodus" from public
schools. He said the county
would need about the same
number of teachers as at pres
ent and would have the same
number of buildings in opera
ton.
County board member Ralph
Raul said he hoped the locali-
ties would be able to adopt
strict criteria" to control the
number of students eligible for
private grants. THE localities
should have some say in the
administration of their own
funds. The door should not be
left wide open," he said. Mr..
Peck said, however, the county
probably will have little to say
about who will be eligible for
the tuition grants.

Mrs. Keene said she jumped
in after him and found he had
gone under the water. She
said she pulled him out, put
him on the bank and then
breathed into his mouth sew

start to cry. She then took
him home and called the fam

Harry Belafonte was in the
best Of spirits the other
noontime in his suite at the
Woodner. He had opened q
two-week engagement at the
Carter Barron Amphitheater
the night before by enthrall--
ing Q crowd that overflowed
the farthest reaches Of the
Rock Greek Park bowl. The
reviews that day had ranged
from enthusiastic to ecstatic.
In fact, q couple Of news
papers tucked under his arm
limited at the cause Of the
smile on the Belafonte face
as he entered the living room
Of the suite. He was followed
shortly BY his wife, q willowy,
strikingly attractive ex-
Kathryn Durham dancer.
Mr.. Belafonte looms larger
than you have expected him
to as he comes in. Part Of
this is due to q dynamic per-
sonality that nils Q room.
Part Of It also is due to the

fact that he is taller and
sturdier than the movie cam
eras have led you to believe.
This is fortunate because
q man would need the con-
stitution Of an OK to put as
much as Belafonte does into
a show night after night.
Mr.. Belafonte looms larger
in other ways, too, than you
might have been led to ex-
pect. He fails to match the
publicity picture that some
have painted Of him.
For one thing. that chip
some may have detected on
his shoulder is not visible.
It was not, ct least, during
this get-together with Wash
ington critics. He was an
affable and agreeable con-
versationalist and an enter
tanning reconteur. He could
have fun with one topic and
be serious about another
with equal ease.
It soon became clear. how

he would be wasting his time.
