James Fort
Thutch Huts
Hit by Fire

JAMESTOWN. Va, Nov. IL
(AP).-Two of the waddey-
daubed and matched rooted
buildings inside James Fort
were partly destroyed by fire
early today.
The fire was noticed first in
the matched roof which burned
quickly, but fire was prevented
from spreading to the 16 other
similar buildings inside the fort.
The church, which is across the
way from the buildings, seemed
to be in danger at one point.
Each of the buildings was
about 10 by Is feet in size. One
was used for storage and the
other as an Office. The fire was
fought by four units from the
Williamsburg fire department
and one unit of the National
Park Service.
Williamsburg Fire Marshall
Elliott w. Jayne said he be-
lieves the fire originated in
some electronic equipment. Col.
w. D. Williams, director Of
buildings and grounds at Festi-
val Park. said it is unlikely
that the fire could have started
from this equipment unless
it had been accidentally left
hooked up over night.
The reconstructed fort was
built as part of the 350th an
niversary celebration of the
founding of jamestown by
English colonists.
Col. Williams said the re-
placement cost probably would
not exceed $4,000.

This is so not because it is

this were Pittsburgh, the steel
companies would be major con-
tributors. BY the same token,
in the economics of the situa-
ton, the Federal Government

of the load"
Senator Bible said he was

the basic premise which seems
to have underlined the entire

Federal financing.

premise?" he asked. ut seems
to me this is something we

Other than that, he wasn't

acted properly because the
courts director of social sery-
ices had turned the boy over
to the agency with directions
to make such placement as
(the Department. considered TO
be in the (boy's) best interests
and to bring him before the
court at the time designated
for trial"
Judge Ketcham rejected the
contention made by the boys
court-appointed lawyer that
the Director of Social Service
had no legal authority to give
such directions.
But he admitted that the
court has an obligation" to
make clear to those appearing
before the court just what the
court policies are in handling
OF juvenile cases.
Courts Powers Clear
Judge Ketcham said the
court is clearly given the
power to construe and in
terpret" the Juvenile Court Act
and to publish rules and regu-
lationS for court proceedings.
Then he added: e. it is
made the duty of all other off,
Gals of the District of Column
bia to assist and cooperate
with the court in carrying out
such interpretations and pro-
cedures."
The judge thus apparently
put the department on notice
that he has not given up his
outstanding struggle to chal-
lenge the departments right to
shift its wards from one insti-
tuition to another without prior
court approval.

after he raps on a housewives
door:
Are you poor? Will you use

way?
Some ladies slammed the
door in his face when he first
went about his portal-to-portal
altruism on Thursday. But
most quickly caught on when
he pressed $25 or $50 into their
hands and walked off. He
handed out about $4,000 Thurs
day and an undisclosed amount
yesterday, authorities said.
Inherited About $4,000
Who is this mystery man?
The people in crowded, run
down rowhouses are asking.
He's Arthur Douglas Foster
III of suburban Glyndon. He is
single. According to a friend,
who asked not to be identified,
Mr.. Foster inherited about
$85, 900 from a grandmother.
Both his parents, who are
divorced and remarked, are
well-to-do. They tried to per-
suade the boy to give up his
share the-wealth plan, Mr..
Foster admitted to a reporter
last night.
At a late hour Mr.. Foster
hadn't shown up at his YMCA
hotel room in downtown Balti-

restaurant telephone.
"All this publicity may force
me to change my tactics" he
said.
Questioned by Police
After getting many calls
about the man yesterday, police
brought him in for question:

at first, but the officers ex-
planned it just isn't usual for a
man to go around giving away
money.
At any rate, they couldn't
hold him for giving away his
own money, so off he went
again by taxi, presumably to
hand out more bills.
Asked to explain his gener-
osity, Mr.. Foster answered:

were poor, would you rather

ance-before the recent admin
iStration statement backing a
rail transit system here.
Key Points Stressed
Gen. yelling also made
these other points:
/. The rapid transit system
would primarily benefit subur-
banites, not District residents.
BY automobile, he said, it now
is possible to drive from the
center of town to any point on
the District line within 80 min
utes at the heaviest peak of
traffic.
From discussions with some
District civic groups, he said,
some are satisfied that their
own needs are being met and
others had no suggestions for
improvements.
2. Apart from the Transport
tation Survey, District officials
are somewhat worried that COM
pletely free movement might
intensity" the flight of middle
income residents from the city
to the suburbs.
8. Rapid rail transit lines
should not be built in the mid
die strips of new freeways, as
proposed by planners, but in
their own rights of way. The
reason, he explained, is that
commuters, if given a choice,
might not accept transit in suf-
f1cient volumes. The middle of
freeways might we'll be used for
express buses, however. he said.
4. Either the District gov

neerS could get a subway

the county'S elementary mathe-
mates curriculum, but de-
clared that "it has not been
translated into practice in
most of our classrooms."
deficiencies in teach e r
preparation and training lie at
the heart of this problem" the
report continued. Most ele-
mentary teachers have been
required to take only about
one-fifth as much mathematics
as English, and about one
fourth as much as social
studies, less mathematics than
physical education and barely
more than art or music.
Other Report to Follow
"Yet it is the national pat
tern, and Montgomery County's
as well, to consider teachers
unqualified to teach physical
education, art or music, without
additional assistance from
travelling teachers specially
trained in these subjects.
However, with little or no
more preparation than in these
minor subjects, every elemen-
tary teacher is expected to
teach competently the major
subject of mathematics"
The report, made by a ID
committee, was sub
mitted to the PTA Council "for
consideration and possible &C
ton" 1t is the first Of a series
of studies on the curriculum in
Montgomery County 5chools.
The next is scheduled to deal
with mathematics in the upper
grades.
College Training Lacking
Because only a few colleges
are making important advances
in mathematical training for
teachers, the committee said,
the county must rely on its
own program of in-service
training, not only in the i'm
future but for some
time to come"
Present facilities can handle
only a small fraction Of the
county's $500 ele m e ntary

President Eisenhower and

a battle to put more anti
racketeering teeth into the la
Dor bill passed by the Senate
last week.
House Republican Leader
Halleck told reporters after a
White House conference that
he will have the Presidents
support in a strong fight to
strengthen in the. House what
he called the grossly made
quate" Senate bill.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty said the
President told the G. o. p.
Senate and House leaders that
he expects to make clear at q
news conference tomorrow his
own views about the labor leg
islation.
Mr.. Halleck said the Presi-
dent wants something better"
than the Senate measure to
combat corruption and racket
eering which has been disclosed
by the Senate Rackets Com
mittee, headed by Senator Nc
Clellan.
The House G. o. P. leader
said the measure passed by the
Senate is inadequate to cope
with "blackmail. extortiopate
picketing" and secondary boy
colts.
He said he hoped House &C
ton would strengthen the bill
in those two areas, and also pro-
vide for labor disputes of a
purely local character to be
handled by local authorities to
end the present mo mana

No less a figure than Mr.. Ade-
nauer had complained publicly
about what he called anti
German sentiment in Britain.
The West Germans, who dc
not share all British views on
ways to handle coming nego-
tiations with the Russians, have

necessarily represent the view
of Prime Minister Macmillan's

Dlrksen also voiced the hope
that the measure finally passed
by Congress would be better
than that which came out OF
the Senate last Saturday.

some general discussion in the

today about farm legislation.
