144,481
Pupils by IS

District school officials expect
an enrolment of 144.481 by
1865.
The enrolment projection
actually an official guess by
school statisticians-means the

is projected to 1910 in Octo-
Der of 1860 and to 92.800 in
October of 1865. as compared
to about 75.400 in october of
1858.
The Junior high school
projection shows an increase Of
nearly 1000 pupils in the next
two years. and Of more than
1000 in the next seven years.
For senior high schools. the
projected total declines slowly
during the next two years and
then begins an upward trend
which reaches approximately
$500 in October Of 1856"
The projections we're re-
leased at School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen's weekly press confer
ence. DR.. Hansen also:
/. Said he would like to see
an annual teacher salary Of

PTA Official Quits
After Taking Fifth
Efross Resigns
In Controversy
AT Glen Haven

Sidney Efross, who invoked
the Fifth Amendment 80 times
on June 5 before q House I'm
America Activities Subcommit-
tee, has submitted his resigna-
ton as president Of the Glen
Haven Elementary School PTA.
Mr.. Efross, Silver Spring
painting contractor, was elected.
to the post at the Wheaton.
Md. school last month. He
said he had assured its Execu-
tive Committee yesterday that
he would resign Immediately,
because I don't feel that this
issue is one which should dis
rupt the activities Of the PTA."
A committee delegation
headed by Robert j. Hogan, a
school trustee, then went to
Mr.. Efross' home at 10 o'clock
last night and obtained the
signed resignation.
Explains Stand
In a statement to The Star,
Mr.. EfroSs said:
Concerning my refusal to
answer questions, ! felt the
committee was reviving old and
WORKOUT stories dating back 10
years or more. Their questions
were not revelant to any legit-
innate legislative purpose, and
seemed to be merely an inquiry
into my private life.
For these reasons ] felt JUS
tilted In relying on my consti-
tutional rights not to answer
their questions. Furthermore. /
feel any inquiry concerning my
loyalty or integrity is COM
pletely unjustified and that no
basis has been given for show
ing the contrary"
Mr.. Efross was questioned BY
a passport subcommittee OF the
House group on June 5 which
was investigating the need for
revising passport regulations.
The subcommittee questioned
Mr.. Efross on an application
for a passport he was alleged to
have filed in 1858.
Photostat Shown
Admitted into evidence was a
photostatic copy Of the alleged
application which showed that
permission to travel abroad was
denied because Sin your case.
1t has been alleged that you are
a Communist"
Mr.. Efross gave these grounds
for declining to answer cues
tons:
Firstly. I don't think the
question is revelant to the COM
mittee's jurisdiction.
Secondly, ] think the COM
mittee is an unconstitutional
body and is violating my rights
under the First Amendment.
"And thirdly, ! claim my
privilege under the Fifth
Amendment not to be a witness
against myself"
Mr.. Efross lives at 1914 Glen
park drive. Silver Spring. and
has downtown Offices for his
painting business.

balding head. A sharp-eyed
reader recognized his picture in
a. Norfolk newspaper and gave
the FBI the tip that led to his
arrest.
The 57-year-old master OF
masquerade, unaccountably
caught without his toupee, sur
rendered meekly to agents in
g downtown Norfolk hotel.
Police said O'Donnell num-
bered at least five Washington

had been so convincing he had
wangled an invitation to speak
last night before the Norfolk

nous. the Associated Press re-
ported.
TeIephoned Tip
His freedom ended shortly
after q reader Of the Norfolk
Ledger Star telephoned the
FBI to say he recognized the
hotel guest as oDonnell from
a photograph that appeared in
the newspaper Thursday. The
informant asked that the FBI
not reveal his name.
The small picture Of ODon-
nell had been printed by the
Ledger-Star to accompany a
story reporting the recent
addition of ODonnell to the
FBI list Of its 10 most wanted
men.
O'Donnell had registered al
the hotel as A. ]. Rossi. He
was unarmed when FBI agents
took him into custody and
seemed a bit relieved his flight
was over.

! for robbing a woman in Phila-
