reported for the Nation by 80
per cent. 1t was 81 per cent
above the average listed for the
Metropolitan Area.
The rate, calculated on the
basis of serious crimes per

Metropolitan Area, 981.5; the

Disclosure of the Alexandria
crime rate resulted from police
analysis of statistics published
by the FBI last month in its

Crime.
The revelation provoked de-

The experts adding up the
final score on the visit of Soviet
Premier Khrushchey are taking
a more than ordinary interest
in the future of Mikhail Men
shikov, Russia's Ambassador to
the United States.
They have a bunch his stand
ing with Mr.. Khrushchey may
have been hurt during the visit,
and they are watching for evil
dence to support it. If that
bunch proves correct it could
have far-reaching effects since
Mr.. Menshikov has been rated
as one Of the corners In the
SOVIET hierarchy.
Here is the theory advanced
by some Of those who have had
access to the detailed reports on
Mr.. Khrushchev's visit:
Mr.. Menshikov had been
painting a very grim picture Of
The United States in his reports
to Mr.. Khrushchev, portraying
it as a bleak place where the
rich were in paradise but the
poor were in hell-and where
nearly everyone is poor.
Premier Learns He Was Misled
But the Soviet Premier, q
sharp observer and quick
learner. soon found out first
hand that this was not the
case. He was deeply impressed
with many aspects of Ameri-
can life. particularly with the
material well-being Of the
people. It would be natural, OF
course, for him to feel cool
toward the man who had mis-
led him.

Pressure Put
On Van Doren
FEC Defends Self

BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star STAFF Writer

Pressure for the appearance
of Charles Van Doren at the
House television quiz hearings
increased yesterday despite a
Federal Communications Com
mission opinion that the rigging
of quiz shows broke no laws.
Representative Harris, the
Arkansas Democrat who heads
the investigation. said that

reveal whether his Legislative

Doren."

invitation to come to Washing

He remained in seclusion yes

Juror over his failure to appear

after he was quoted as saying,

made that comment just after
appearing before a New York
grand jury to deny he received
any help during his Twenty
One appearances.

Also in the background is the
possibility of a showdown by

Principals Ask School Board
For He|p in PTA Disputes
Some Units
Accused of
Interference
By CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Stan Writers

Growing friction between
District school officials and
parent teacher associations has
become so critical that a prin-
cipals' association is appealing
to the Board of Education for
help.
Two cracking disputes be-
tween principals and PTA pres
idents which exploded into the
open recently have served as a
warning that this discord may
spark new eruptions.
Already the threatening rum

To get the facts behind this
situation which has alarmed
many parents, The Star inter-
viewed top school and PTA Off
Gals, representatives of various
educational associations and
numerous principals.
Almost all agreed that the
basic problem is a lack of clear
understanding of the boundary
lines in the School-PTA rela-
tionship. ,
Principals Make Complaints
The result has been that
school and PTA officials have
frequently stepped on each
others toes, often inadvertent-
ly.

is so concerned about deterio-
rating school-PTA relationships
that it. decided last week to
send the Board of Education its

The action was taken after

complaints about their respec-

While the proposals are
worded with great caution, they
