Negroes PIon
New Action
In Arlington

A Federal Court will be asked
tomorrow to order the admis-
sion of seven more Negro chill
dren Immediately to formerly
all-white schools in Arlington.
Attorney Frank Reeves of
Washington, representing Ne
gro children seeking adtnis-
sion to Northern Virginia white
schools, said he would make the
motion before Federal Judge
Albert v. Bryan in Alexandria.
In addition, he said, he will
ask the court to set for a later
hearing the applications Of nine
other Negro children whose ad-
missions have been turned
down by the Arlington School
Board.
All is Of the applications,
which were filed in June, lave
been turned down by VirGinia's
Pupil Placement Board which
has never assigned a Negro
child to white school any,
where in the State.
In the school boards an
swer to Mr.. Reeves suit in be-
half of the Is applicants, it was
stated that the reflections were
based on the fact that six chill
dren live closer to Negro schools
while three were enthusiastically
deficient.
School Board Chairman L.
Lee Bean said the answer
was silent with respect to the
seven remaining children
whose immediate admission
will be sought by Mr.. Reeves
today.
I'VE simply told the court,
in effect, that we agreed with
the State Pupil Placement
Board in turning down nine
of the applicants" Mr.. Bean
said. with respect to the other
seven, we found that they lived
in the attendance areas of the
schools to which they applied
and that they were academ-
ically qualified to attend those
schools but we are making no
recommendations"

Sure-Fire Story
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Met Larry Axman, a De-
partment of Justice attorney
and a former president of the
Federal Bar ASSociation-the
national organization of law
yerS working for the Govern
mental dinner the other
night.
He told this story:
A friend of his had been
asked to address the national
convention of a woman'S or
ganization.
Il accepted" he said, but
I don't like to talk to women.
Maybe these women are diff
ferent, but I'm afraid I will
be about as successful with
them as I was in explaining
something to my wife the
other night.
II was trying to tell her
how electrical impulses over
a wire are much faster than
the speed of sound waves in
air.
II said:
Suppose I telephoned a
friend in California
And she said, But you
haven't any friend in Cali
fornia.'
Il pleaded with her, Just
for the purpose of illuStrat-
ing what I'm trying to tell
you, let's assume I have a
friend in California.
"'I get him on the tele-
phone and you are standing
20 feet away from me over
hearing what I am saying to
him
She said, Why should I
be standing 20 feet away
from you?'
Il said, Just to illustrate
what I'm trying to tell you.
1.-The point is that my
friend would be hearing what
I was saying before you
would. Do you know why
that is?'
"And my wife said, Yes.
The time out there is three
hours earlier"

Integruted
Pupils Seek
TuitionGrunt

Parents Of at least two chill
dren in the nearby Virginia
area have applied for State
scholarships to help pay theil
tuition in integrated private
schools.
The scholarships are part Of
Virginia's school laws, enacted
last April, intended to prevent
enforced attendance by any
child at an integrated public
school.
More than 1877 children in
Arlington and Fairfax Counties
and Alexandria and Falls
Church have applied to local
school boards for the $3.50
scholarships which are made
available without regard to the
race factor. A great majority
of the applicants, however,
were not assigned to desegre-
gated schools and many of
them are seeking State finan-
cial assistance to attend pri-
vate schools which they for
merly attended last year.
Only 10 Assigned
! OF los scholarship applicants
who filed in Arlington, only 10
had been assigned to desegre-
gated public schools-five to
Stratford Junior High School
and five to Washington-Lee
High School. None of the APP
plicants had been assigned to
Patrick Henry Elementary
School, the county's only other
desegregated institution.
A school official said one OF
the Arlington applicants has
enrolled in the Sidwell Friends
School in Washington, an in
tegrated institution.
In Fairfax County, where
more than 10 scholarship ap-
plicationS had been returned
to the School Board office BY
weeks end, one applicant signi-
fed his intention to attend the
private, integrated Burgundy
Farms Country Day School.
Some Already Enrolled
| A school official, reached al
his home today, said he did not
know how many of the appli-
cants had been assigned to the
eight county schools where
Negroes have applied for ad-
mission.
"A number of those who have
applied for scholarships" the
official said, already were en-
rolled in private schools last
year. do not have a break
down on the latest total but
81 had applied, we checked and
found that only II of them
were enrolled in public schools
last year."
In Falls Church, where nc
Negroes seek admission to any
of the public schools, two chill
dren, nevertheless, have sought
State scholarships-one to at
tend a private school in Mas
sachussetts and the other tc
attend Mclean High School in
Fairfax County.
The State scholarships law
in addition to providing funds
for attendance at private non
sectarian schools, also allows
tuition for public schools in q
jurisdiction other than the one
in which the student lives.
Alexandria has had only 10
applications for scholarships
Supt. T. C. Williams said he
does not know how many OF
those. if any, had been as
signed to desegregated public
schools there.

Typical of work of the NUI

In trying to accomplish this

His Selling Point
Perhaps his biggest selling

But this problem of employ.

For instance, starting with
a null pilot program in 1874!
that placed 200 Negro engi'

of such people has steadil!
risen-largely through a NUI

job cut out for itself

as urban Negro opportunity is
concerned"
That's the goal that DR..
Lester B. Granger Of New York
City, executive director of the
organization, has been striving
for since he joined the null %
years ago.
He took a look back yester-
day as he prepared for the
convention to get underway at
the Sheraton-Park Hotel.
AS the top professional OF

members for the past 10 years,
DR.. Granger. himself a Negro,
has seen more and more of
his people move to the nation s
cities from rural areas in a
constant search for better
wages and increased employ
ment opportunities.
Growing Population
It's been his continuing job
to help these people-swelling
from 10 million in the middle
1920's to more than l8 million
today-make an easier transit
ton to urban living.
Since 1910, when the Urban
League was founded, the Negro
population shift has changed
somewhat. At that time the
movement was from rural
areas to cities mainly in the
South. Since World War II the
Negro has been leaving his
Southern home and streaming
by the thousands into the in
dustrial centers outside the Old
South.
But the problems of the
NVL and its So autonimous
chapters. the approach to solv-
ing those problems. have not
changed much since the first
major Negro migrations Of the
1920s.
The emphasis has been or

Careful with Clothing Storage

Plastic clothes hangers, moth
crystals, and warm weather can
add up to a lot of trouble for you
when you start getting your win
ter clothes out of the closet next
fall, according to home demonstra-
tion agent Florence Y. Smith.
She says the U. S. Department of
Agriculture has some research
results showing that some plastics
are affected by certain types of
moth preventives.
Vapors from paradichloroben-
zene (moth crystals) make most
plastic hangers soft and sticky.
Garments stored for the summer
on plastic hangers will stick to the
hangers or even absorb some of the
material.
This can happen at temperatures
as low as so degrees, Mrs. Smith
said. In hot attic it would get
much warmer than this and some
of the plastic material will melt"
into the fabric.
Napthalene moth balls will not
USDA reported.
Most hangers tested, as well as
some kinds of plastic buttons,
were affected, so Mrs. Smith sug-
gests taking plastic buttons off
your woolens before storing if you
use paradichlorobenzene crystals.
If damage does occur, you can
get the plastic off by using a sol
vent such as banana oil, butyl ace
tate, benzene, tolnene or trichloro-
ethylene. Trichloroethylene in not
flamable and is especially reco-
mended by the USDA scientists.
Work outside with all these sol
vents because of the toxic vapors,
Work slowly, applying the solvent

plastic for a few seconds after
each application, Mrs. Smith said.
