Ironically the recall law was
adopted as an anti-integration

former Little Rock School

interest them without reference
to the others. This is a tactic
long expected by the Allies, for
which no solid Western posi-
ton exists as yet.
Again the Table Problem
Just exactly how much
chance Mr.. Bolz may be given
to contribute to the success of
the conference remains some
thing of an open question. Al
though there is an apparent
agreement that both East and
West Germany may participate
in the discussions as observers,
their role as such already has
become the subject of an OPEN
ing clash between the Eastern
and Western delegations here.
Earlier today, technicians
meeting TO iron out practical
details for the conference were
confronted by a Russian de-
mand that the ministers should
sit at a round table instead of
the square one which the
United Nations Secretariat had
on hand. The Western dele
gates at the meeting Stoutly
held out for the square table.
The question was left unde-
cided.
1t is perhaps not quite as
silly as it sounds. At a round
table, the various delegations
present would have equal sta
tus. at least from a physical
standpoint. At a square one
there would clearly be four
major delegations representing
the major powers. Any others
would occupy subordinate po-
sitions. An American official
explained:

New and Simpler Form
Of Geometry Devised

OXFORD, Ohio, May 8 (AP) .
"A new mathematical science
which its discoverer says could
and should-replace the en-
tire field of geometry was pre-
scented for the first time here
today.
DR.. Beckham Martin, theoret-
ical physicist at Owens-Illinois
Glass Co. in Toledo, gave mem
bers of the Ohio section of the
Mathematical Association of
America a general explanation
of his new science, mutation
geometry"
DR.. Martin said mutation
geometry, applicable to funda-
mental and advanced mathe-
MATES as well, is a clean break
from conventional geometry. "
The new process is shorter,
easier to grasp and hold, and
presents its answers in more
simple form, he said.
For the purpose Of his pre-
sentation at Miami University,
DR.. Martin related his new
math to comic sections, one Of
the basic forms in analytic
geometry.
AS an example. he illustrated
a problem dealing with an equa-
ton of a circle through three
points. Using conventional
methods ten steps were neceS-
sary for an answer. Using
mutation geometry, only one
step was needed.
DR.. Martin estimated that a
good college student, using his
mutation geometry method,
could do the problem in two
minutes as compared to 10
minutes by using all the steps
of analytic geometry.
He said mutation geometry
is founded on a single propo-
sition, which he calls omega"
Once a student understands
this theory. he said. many steps
that once had to be written
down can be done mentally.
Since it is based on a single
proposition, he said, it is no
longer necessary to take geom-
etry in 6 sequential order. A
student could start just as
easily in the middle of a text

mates in high school and COL

1--WE have no one here YET
able to make this kind of de-
cision."
According to British sources
here, the opening phase of the
conference is expected to pro-
6uce a wrangle over a Russian
demand that Polish and Czech
delegates also be allowed tc
attend the conference sessions
The West will oppose this pro-
posal and the argument may
last several days. If forced tt
yield on the point to get or
with the serious discussion, the
West is expected to propose
that Italy and possibly Holland
as well be included on the West
ern side.
Russia Wins a Point
Another early argument Of
the conference was apparently
settled in RusSia's favor today
In selecting the briefing rooms
at the press center where the
correspondents will receive
daily accounts of the minis
terial proceedings, the Russians
claimed the large hall that
they occupied during the sum-
NIT conference in 1855. The
British, who had a smaller
room last time, objected and
suggested that lots be drawn
The argument was settled
however, with the discovery
that the management of the
press center already had put
up the signs where they had
been four years ago.
West German Foreign Minis
ter Won Brentano also will ar
rive tomorrow to join the Vests

NewDetourSei
On 12th Street
Tunnel Under Mall
Reroutes Traffic

A new detour for traffic
around the SO million Twelfth
street expressway project under
the Mall is being constructed
near the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
Workmen were putting up a
new fence and beginning the
construction of a roadway, east
of Twelfth street, to move traf-
fic while the main project is
under way.
A similar companion project
along Ninth street is planned
for the near future.
The Twelfth street project
will go from Constitution ave-
nue. to near c street S.W. to
tie in with the Washington
Channel bridge project, now
under construction, and the
southwest freeway. r
The plans for the Twelfth
street expressway call for the
project coming up Eleventh
street to C street S.W., then
curving in a northwesterly di-
rection to meet Twelfth street
at Independence avenue and
then going underground to
Constitution avenue. Except
for the approaches, Twelfth
street in that region will be
a tunnel under the Mall.
Workmen are taking off the
topsoil and lawn and grading
for the detour road, which will
be one-way north. as will the
completed Twelfth street ex-
pressway. The Ninth street
eXpressway will be one-way
south and provision will have
to be made for a detour road
there also.
The project is a cooperative
between the National Capital
Parks and the Department of
Highways and Traffic. The
program is expected to be COM
'pleted about September, 1861.
Officials explained that
Twelfth street will be closed to
traffic in stages. A certain Sec
ton of the Mall roads in that
locality also will be closed as
the work progresses. Twelfth
street will be depressed in a
concrete tunnel, similar to that
at Dupont circle. except for the
approaches.
Near Twelfth street and In
dependence avenue S.W., old
houses are now being torn down
to make way for the highway
project near the Department
of Agriculture.

The Commissioners today set
October 26 for a public hearing
on proposed regulations to

The law, passed at the last

sales by fly-by-night operators.
The public hearing will be at

days before advertisement of a

The proposed regulations in
clude a requirement that the

a 30-day extension if justified.
AT the end of this period, the
shop would have to shut down.
Another proposal is to pro-
hibit emergency sales for busi-
nesses less than four months
