individual grants for private
schooling. The 1850 figure is
an estimate by school officials
of how many students will seek
Iprivate tuition payments under
the recently enacted State
freedom Of choice" educa-
ftional program.
Under State law, any stu
dent who attends a private,
lnon-sectarian school is eligible
for a $3.50 scholarship grant to
be paid jointly by the locality
fand the State. Localities may,
if they choose, supplement the
grants.
| Last week a proposal was
made to increase the grant in
Fairfax County to $3l7. the
leverage per pupil cost Of edu-
eating students in the coun-
| tvs public school system. This
proposal, which would have
required an extra $85. 900 from
the. county, was rejected by the
board yesterday on a five-to-
two vote.
| The County School Board
opposed supplementing the $3.50
Igrants.
| Fairfax County is the first
Northern Virginia jurisdiction
in which a supplement has been
proposed.
Voting against the supple
ment were Mrs. Anne wilkins,
lGen. Richard P. Ovenshine,
James Keith, William Moss
and A. Claiborne Leigh. Voting
for it were Chairman Stuart
DeBell and Thomas Gray.
! Mrs. Wilkins said she did not
believe in Substituting private
education. The county, how
lever, is required to provide its
share of the $3.50 grant.
Mr.. Gray said that feelings
lon the indignation question are
bitter" He said he intends tc
vote for a compulsory school
attendance law land If I'm go
ling to do that I think we should
provide for those who disagree.
The scholarship grant pro-
gram was enacted to provide
for students whose parents OBJ
ject to sending their children
to integrated schools. 1t is
available, however. to all stu
dents in non -sectarian private
schools
Mrs. wilkins said that aside
from the indignation question,
the tuition payments may en-
courage parents who previously
couldn't afford it to send their
children to private schools.
The Virginia Citizens Com
Imittee for Better Schools in
dorsed a supplement to the $3.50
grant. President Harley Will
liams said the scholarship
grant plan is a plan to help
lpreserve and extend freedom in
this country by helping make it
economically possible for par
ents to exercise their right to
send children to schools Of their
choice" Mr. Williams said pri-
vate school buttons in the
Northern Virginia area range
from about $3.50 to $3.50 a year

Bible Group Seeks
Traffic Jam Key
Extensive Hearings Planned
On Regional Development
BY JAMES G. DEANE
star stan Writer

A Senate committee this week
will seek to lay the groundwork
for q major effort to solve the
Washington areas trafiic and
transit problems.
The Senate District Commit
tee, headed by Senator Bible,
Democrat Of Nevada, meets
Tuesday to consider a proposed
new regional development act
for the Capital area.
The Tuesday session will
hear witnesses on a proposed
policy declaration intended to
bring Congress and the Federal
Government into closer part
nership with area governments
in future development.
Senator Bible said the unit
may also act Tuesday to extend
at least until next February the
life Of the Joint Committee on
Washington Metropolitan Prob
lens. This is in preparation for
extensive hearings which, he
disclosed, are planned for early
fall on new highway and mass
transit plans soon to be SUBJ
mitted to Congress.
Senator Bible also heads the
Joint committee, now scheduled
to dissolve September 80.
Plans Near Completion
The joint group is charged
with reviewing the tfansporta-
ton plans. now nearing COM
pletion by the National Capital
Planning Commission and Ma
tional Capital Regional Plan
ming Council, and making rec
concentrations on them to Con-
gress. The plans are expected
to go to the White House next
month.
Senator Bible last night de-
clined to commit himself on
details of either the proposed
development act or the mass
transportation study. He noted
that features of both are con-
troversial and explained he has
not yet had the opportunity
to study them thoroughly.
But he predicted that the de-
cisions eventually to be reached
will have great significance fol-
the Capital area and very pos
sibly for other urban areas in
the Nation as well.
Many of the problems con-
fronted here are shared by
large metropolitan regions else
where, so that the solution Of
them could set a pattern OF
national Importance, he said.
Bipartisan Support
The proposed development
act to be considered Tuesday is
sponsored by Senator Bible and
Senators Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, and Beall, Republican
of Maryland. The three Sem
ators and Representatives Nc
MILAN of South Carolina and
Smith of Virginia. Democrats,
and Broyhill, Republican of
Virginia, constitute the special
joint committee, which was
created by the last Congress.
The gist of the proposed
act, as drafted in a report of
the committee published last
January, is a declaration that
future Washington area growth
should be guided by the CO.
ordinated effort Of the Federal
Government and the various
area governing bodies.
The exact language of the
act has not yet been settled.

New Sdfety Barriers Protect Visitors
AT Zoo Since Girls Death Lost Year
BY JERRY OLEARY. Jr.
star stan writer

Just one year ago today. a
two-year-old girl named Julia
Ann Vogt from Chilliwack,
British Columbia. slipped un-
der q guard rail at the WASH
ington Zoo and was mauled to
death by one Of the lions.
The tragedy Mortified the
Nation and spurred safety
program at the Zoo to make
sure that never again could q
little child get close to the
dangerous animals.
Is the Zoo safe now?
Director Theodore Reed said
yesterday that 1t is.
I'VE have reached the de-
gree Of safety we think I'VE
should have" said Or. Reed.
mo child can get by our new
fences unassisted. And ! won't
admit that the Zoo isn't safe
for any normal person.
Safety Study Made
"of course, someone bent on
mischief or self destruction
could climb over our protective
barriers. There's no ultimate
answer to safety. A determined
person can get over any fence.
He pointed out that in the
year since the tragedy, SIS
children and eight adults have
been caught behind guard rails
and elected from the park.
Most Of them were from 10
to 14-years-old. One boy was
caught as he leaned over a
rail and released a door latch,
allowing two cheetahs to go
from their indoor to their OUT
door cage.
DR.. Freeman Shelley, d.
rector of the Philadelphia Zoo.
was brought here to make a
safety study. and Zoo officials
did their own soul-searching
about what action to take.
When the lion killed Julia
Ann, the Zoo was in terrible
shape. It was falling apart at
the seams and grossly under
manned. Much Of that has
changed now.
Zoo STAFF Enlarged
The park was stated by 43
animal keepers and % police
men then. Since then. three
policemen and four keepers
have been added and there
are three policemen and IL
more keepers in the budget
for the next fiscal year.
Anyone could go under the
open guard rails in front of
the dangerous animals a year
ago and come in contact with
them. Today. throughout the
Zoo, a major new device pro-
tects the four million visitors
a year from themselves.
Angled fences stand 5 feet
high outside the, lion, tiger
and bear cages. Their sharp
edges and outward angle are
iInpassable to anyone but a
tall adult. Heavy gauge chain
link now covers the spacing
IN the outer rail through
which Julia Ann crawled.
On the cages, horizontal bars
have been welded onto the
vertical bars.
The dangerous animals are
now buttoned up tight. i
The Monkey House was
closed a year ago. The guard
