a in Home Safe
As Attic Burns

A family of four escaped
safely last night when a fire
which began in the kitchen of
their home at 6100 Western
avenue, Chevy Chase, swept
through a vent in the ceiling
and burned out the attic.
Gene Troiano, owner of the
house. said his wife was cooking
dinner about $50 pm. when
grease from the deep frier ig-
nited and f1ared up into the
vent behind the stove.
MIR. Troiano said he, his wife
and their two daughters. 8 and
10, who had been playing in
the recreation room, fled the
house after calling the fire de-

eral Court order, but no white
students returned.
About 800 white students are
attending private classes set up
by the Warren County Educa-
tional Foundation.
Mr.. Lei d m a n said seven
Negroes were "furloughed" but
not fired from the American
Viscose Corp. plant at Front
Royal where the unions 1000
members work. He said he did
not know if they were members
of the NAACP and the school
question did not have anything
to do with it,"
Mr.. Leadman said Eat least
40 white people" also have been
furloughed in the past six
months because they were not
needed. He said those with the
least seniority are furloughed
first when jobs are cut back.
and he said the seven Negroes
fell in that category.
The union agent was a leader
in the movement to continue
private schooling for the re-
mainder of the year rather
than transfer the white chill
dren back to the public school.
He said money contributed by
union members for the private
school is on a voluntary basis.

6. OPP. Raps
Virginidns on
Law Abolition

Top representatives of Vir-
ginia's Young Republican Clubs
met yesterday in Arlington and
sharply attacked State legisla-
tors for abolishing compulsory
school attendance.
At its annual convention in
Arlington Towers. the Young
Republican Federation of Vir-
ginia called on the General AS
sembly to enact a new law re-
curing children from 6 to 16
years old to attend classes.
The compulsory attendance
law was repealed recently at a
special session of the General
Assembly as a deterrent to
school integration.
The so delegates to the
Young COP. convention de-
scribed the move as de
plorable."
The federation called on
State legislators to meet as
soon as possible and "do every
thing in their power to main
tain an efficient public educa-
ton system"
The federation also elected
new officers. They are:
Erskine Van Houten, "a, of
Richmond. chairman; John
Dalton. son Of State Senator
Ted Dalton, Radford, Ben
zurun. Arlington; Dave Dun
lap, Lexington, and Miss Betty
Neal. Strasburg, vice chairmen;
Dave Lisk, Roanoke, national
committeeman; Miss Lynette
Binford, Arlington, national
committeewoman; Carolyn
Slattery, Richmond, secretary,
and Walter Throckmorton, Ar
lington, treasurer.
Mr.. Van Houten, who head
ed the group from 1855
through 1857, succeeds David
H. Gordon of Arlington as
chairman.
The federation also said it
is going to redouble its efforts
to attract young Virginians in
the 20 to 26-year-old age
group.

the street, especially if you
have a new suit on, without
someone offering to arrange
your marriage" Mr.. Burnley
said.
They really hustle and
sometimes two cab drivers will
actually try to underbid each
other to get a couple" he
added. He said the current
price is $50 to $50.
Marriage really is no quicker
in Elkton than it is in any
other part of Maryland. 1t still
takes 48 hours.
But this long famed Gretna
Green is the first community
on Route 40 reached by cou-
pies coming from states to the
north which have more string
ent marriage laws.
There are ways to get around
the 48-hour wait.
One is that enterprising cab
drivers will arrange to take you
to states farther south where
marriage is quicker.
Waivers Possible
! Another is that the 48-hour
wait can be waived with the
production of a doctors GER
tif1cate of pregnancy. There
have been allegations that
these certificates are given out
in blank form by some unscru-
pulouS doctors.
There are some ministers
here who have been ordained
by special religious sects and
also acting as cab drivers. Mr.
Burnley said.
You can even be married
in the rear of a barbershop." he
added.

committee, in a statement re-
leased to the press in Wash
ington.
Charles Leadman, business
agent for the union local, said
that the charges made by Mr..
Washington were completely
false"
Oliver w. Hill III, legal
counsel for the NAACP in Vir-
ginia, said he does not know of
any specific economic reprisals
in Warren County resulting
from the school situation. II
can't say there haven't been
any reprisalS-I've heard ru-
mors-but I don't know of any
personally" he said.
Statement Critical
Mr.. Washington said while
the AFL-CIO issues statements
against discrimination, "on
local levels-where it counts
the AFL-CIO seems to be shot
through with both tacit and
aggressive racial segregation"
six members of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People have
been fired from their jobs and
Local 371, of which they are
members, has refused to han
die their grievances" Mr..
Washington said.

the segregation movement is
supported largely from $1,000
per week collections taken up
and contributed by members

Defense Objects
To Any Easing Of
Reneqotiution

The Defense Department to-
day objected to any easing of
the renegotiation law for re-
covering excess profits on Gov
eminent defense contracts.
Robert Dechert, neral
counsel. recommended to the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee that Congress extend
the 1851 act without major
change until September 80,
1861, in line with President Eli
senhower's recommendations.
Mr.. Dechert opposed revi-
sionS proposed by members of
the House Small Business Com
mittee and others. They would
raise from 81 million to IS mil
lion the floor for exemption
from renegotiation liability and
allaW contractors to make up to
10 per cent more than agreed
profits without being required
to submit to renegotiation.
Arguments for easing pro-
visions of the law are based on
the need of incentives and aid
to small business contracts.
1.-The purpose of the Renego-
tiation Act is to eliminate ex-
ceSSive profits from defense
contracts and subcontracts, 3"
Mr.. Dechert said.
Profits otherwise excessive
do not cease to be excessive
merely because they are OBJ
tanned by small business con-
