for construction in each Of the
% counties in the first four
year phase of the program be-
fore it can proceed with any
other projects.
Mr.. Funk won council sup
port for a bill that would lift
this restriction. The council
also agreed to permit substitu-
ton Of new projects for roads
proposed in the program but
not needed at present.
Basic Minimums Kept
The commissions proposal
would retain only the basic
mileage provisions in the 12-
year plan for each county. And
even this can be increased by
the expenditure of Federal
interstate highway funds.
Mr.. Funk said that if the re-
strictions are lifted the COM
mission feels it can build or
get under contract 45.2 miles
of interstate highways costing
$73 million and 319 miles of
other major arterials costing an
estimated $116 million by the
end of 1868.
Included d in Montgomery
County would be 1874 miles of
arterial roads costing $9.2 mil

mended at the 1859 General
Assembly. This is the scale the

The council yesterday also
approved the James Commit
tees recommendations against
an across-the-board increase
for other State employees in
favor of a salary adjustment
plan.
But it rejected the James
Committe proposal to curb the
use Of surplus funds for general
operating expenses.
The council put its stamp of
approval on a subcommittee
recommendation to enact a law
prohibiting building and loan
associations from advertising

less they are insured by an
agency Of the Federal Govern
ment or by a commercial firm
licensed to do business in Mary

The council also agreed to let
the subcommittee headed by

with an investigation of the
States building and loan in

A bill to extend from $500
to $4,000 the maximum loan

Four Doctors Lose Suit
For Stock in Hospital

-Four physicians today lost a
suit to obtain stock in the
Northern Virginia Doctors Hos
pital Corp, which is construct
ing a hospital in Arlington. Y
The corporation and its Of
ficers had contended that the
doctors were trying to gain
control of the project through
purchase Of a large block of
stock.
Three Of the plaintiffs are
members of the Arlington Hos
pital staff: DR.. Raymond
Schwartz. chief of staff; DR..
John T. Hazel. chief of surgery,
and DR.. William D. Dolan,
chief of pathology. The fourth
plaintiff was DR.. William T.
Spence Of SITS Idaho av-
enue NV.
Arlington Circuit Court
Judge William D. Medley dis
missed the four plaintiffs
complaint.
To Cost 100000
A 73-bed hospital is being
constructed on a 13-acre site
at COL South Carlyn Springs
road for an estimated $4O0, 900.
The hospital, due to be opened
July /, later will be expended to
$50 beds. The corporation also
plans a 100-bed convalescent
hospital next door.
Defense attorney Frank L.
Ball, jr., argued during the trial
that the stock should be dis
tributed among more physicians
in the Northern Virginia area
to gain wider support for the
project. Sixteen physicians and
a layman told the court they
had prior claim to the disputed
stock because they had made

lion in March, 1856, but failed
to authorize any additional
disability money for him.
The promotion had been
made retroactive to December
l3. 1945, when Mr.. Caddington
retired. He had been wounded
in Guam in 1914 and said that
his promotion had been over
looked because of the resultant
disqualification and a loss of his
military records.
The correction board, after
Mr.. Caddington's appeal to it,
approved the retroactivity of
rank but said the Army should
pay no money as a result of
this correction record. Yester-
days Court of Claims verdict

the basis used for rejecting
many of the Negro applicants,
their attorneys claimed in the
suit.
OF the II Negro students
seeking transfers, II were re-
jected on the basis Of low aca-
demic achievement and Their
potential adaptability in white
schools, four were rejected only
on the adaptability grounds,
one was on low academic and
geographic grounds and one
was only for geographic rea-
son.
DR.. Clark argued that If
achiement in school is allowed
as a criteria for rejecting Ne
gro students, then every Negro
student could be excluded be-
cause that is the very thing
for which we are seeking re-
lief. For Negroes, the achieve
ment test is a measure of past
deprivation"
DR.. Clark, a consultant to
the legal staff of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, also
testified that the school board
used erroneous 10 scores for
many Of the students. A special
test given to some of the Negro
students on Tuesday showed
they actually had a higher in
telligence rating than the school
board said, he contended.
The II Negro applicants were
rejected both by the Alexandria
School Board and the State
Pupil Placement Board.
In Alexandria's first desegre-
cation case last year, IA other
students applied and Judge
Bryan ordered nine Of them
transferred to white schools.
Those nine entered last Feb
ruary. The other five have ap-
pealed the decision and are still
seeking admission.

PoIioCrippIe
Is Hanged in
Bench Fall

A 16-year-old Falls Church
youth accidentally hanged him
self Tuesday night in the base
ment Of his home. city police
reported.
Police said the victim, Rob-
ert Brett of 704 Villa Ridge
road, crippled from polio five
years ago, apparently slipped
while standing on a bench and
his neck was caught in a rope
coil tied to a water pipe.
His grandparents discovered
the youth a few minutes after
the accident, but efforts by
them and by police failed to
revive him.
The boy, his brother and
sister were adopted by their
grandparents, Mai. Gen. and
Mrs. Thomas J. Hayes, 10
years ago when their parents,
Army Col. and Mrs. William P.
Brett, were killed in an auto
accident.
The youth was q junior at
George Mason High School.
Fairfax County Medical Ex-
aminer Emanuel Newman ruled
after an autopsy yesterday that
the death was accidental.

V. Bryan in AleXandria'S sec
ond major school desegregation
case.
He contended that the Ne
gro pupils requests were given
special consideration by the
school board because their par
entS were the only ones who
protested the school boards
placements.
Mr.. Williams admitted that
several of the students were
denied assignments to white
schools closer to their homes,
but contended they were placed
in Negro schools solely for aca-
demic and psychological rea-
sons.
During yesterdays testimony
two psychologists who testified
for the students charged that
Alexandria's use of group or
mass student testing is an in
adequate and unfair method Of
determining school placements.
DR.. Kenneth B.. Clark, a
professor Of psychology at the
City College of New York, tes-
titled that individual testing by
trained psychologists is the best
way Of obtaining a fair measure
Of a child's intellectual poten-
tial, and individual testing
should always be used when
the results will have serious
implications on the child's life.
A Fairfax clinical psychol-
ogist, DR.. Seymour Rubenfeld
maintained also that when the
placement of a child in a par
ticular kind of school is in
volved, he should be given indi-
vidual testing during which
there would be no distracting
circumstances such as might
occur in group testing.
Alexandria school officials
this fall gave group intelligence
and achievement tests to all
students in the system. The

UnbuIuncino
Of Bridge
Lanes Set

Preparatory work has started
to permit trial of a controver-
sial plan to speed the flow OF
traf1ic on Memorial Bridge.
Robert c. Horne, acting SUI
perintendent of National Capt.
tai Parks, said yesterday the
bridge approach and exit roads
are being widened from three
to four lanes.
He added that when this
work is completed, the six
bridge lanes will be unbalanced
so that during rush hours the
heaviest traffic will use four OF
these lanes. The bridge is un-
der NCP Jurisdiction.
This plan has been advocated
by 1t. Col. Jess Unger. Assist
ant District Engineer Commits
sioner. and the Metropolitan
Washington Board Of Trade.
Thompson SkepticaI
However, Harry T. Thomp-
son. NCP superintendent, has
said that while he is willing to
give it a trial he does not be-
lieve the unbalancing of bridge
lanes will provide relief from
traffic congestion.
NCP employees are now shaw
ing a triangular island Of grass
between the east end of the
bridge and the Lincoln Memoir
ial grounds so that the extra
lanes can be provided on the
District side.
Unbalancing the bridge traf-
f1c lanes will be tried for a 80
day period. If the plan works,
the system will be made per-
manent.
Mr.. Horne said that the date
for start Of the trial period will
be announced when widening
Of the approach and exit roads
is completed.
Differ on BOttleneck
Col. Unger in urging that the
bridge lanes be unbalanced has
described the structure as zone
Of the worst bottlenecks in the
Washington area"
Mr.. Thompson has predicted
that adjusting the lanes to traf-
'fic flow will liam traffic back
on Arlington boulevard on the
Virginia side of the bridge for
miles"
Actually, Mr.. Thompson n
contends, traffic flows fairly
smoothly over the bridge, but
traff1c lights on Arlington bou-
levard are the real bottleneck.
