Passenger
Loses Plea
ForDomuqes

A passenger can't collect for
injuries suffered in an accident
caused by the driver he bought
drinks for, the United States
Court of Appeals held today.
The passenger, Lee w. Todd,
a 25-year-old Washington resi-
dent, had sued the driver and
the truck owner for injuries he
suffered in the collision.
But the court today noted
that the driver, Albert jackson,
81. of the HOO block of Third
street, NV, was under the
influence of alcohol at the time
of the accident because of
drinks Todd bought him.
TODD was guilty of negligence
which helped cause the accident
and his own> l5juries. Judge
George T. washington wrote
in the ruling opinion. n
Judge Washington noted
that Jackson, a part-time CAB
driver, and Todd embarked to-
gether the evening Of October
4, 1856. on a round of visits to
Washington and Maryland
taverns in Jackson's rented
cab. Todd supplied the money
to buy gasoline, beer and
whiskey for the expedition.
Four hours after they started
out they became lost and
collided with the truck on
Bladensburg road near Thirty
fifth street NE.
Todd testified he was en-
joytng 1.-the sounds of Elvls
Presley on the car radio and
that both he and the driver
were feeling "jolly and gay
just before the crash.
THE death, bodily injury and
destruction caused by drink
! ing drivers need no emphasis
here,'' Judge Washington
wrote Such drivers, and
passengers who help produce
their condition are not entitled
to much sympathy in the
courts. r

Police Chiefs Elect
Murray President

, AS the IACP convention came
to a close, the organization took
a stand against the creation of
citizen police review boards
anywhere in the country.
/ The IACP members approved
a resolution which called the
operation of such boards un-
necessary in view of existing
legal safeguards and avenues
of complaints raised by citizens
against individual policemen.
The resolution termed the work
of such boards as "vigilantism."
Another resolution approved
by the police chiefs opposed the
excuse of 10y riding" by those
seeking to avoid conviction for
auto theft.
/ Other officers elected for the
coming year are:
First vice president, Frank
A. Sweeney, Jenkintown, Penn
sylvania; second vice president,
Stanley R. Schrotel, chief of
Cincinnati (Ohio Police De-
partment; third vice president,
Daniel S. C. Liu. chief of police
of Honolulu, Hawaii: fourth

kins. chief of police of Atlanta,
Ga; fifth vice president, Philip
Purcell, chief of police of New
ton, Mass, and sixth vice presi-
dent, William H. Morris, chief
of Illinois State Police.
Several speakers at the
convention have discussed
communism. Yesterday, dele
gates were shown a film de-
picting the riots that disrupted
hearings of the House Un-
American Activities Committee
in San Francisco last May.
The 45-minute movie showed
firemen and police breaking
up crowds of unruly youths
who had packed the San Fran
cisco City Hall to harass the
committee. The chiefs cheered
as police firmly escorted the
youths out of the building into
waiting paddy wagons after
firemen had doused them with
water from fire hoses.
"Anti- SubverSive Squads"
A staff member from the
House committee tried to i'm
press the chiefs with the dam
gers of Communist inspired
riots. But most of the chiefs
seemed interested in the police
end of the riots-how to pre-
vent one and how to break it
up once it starts.
The staff member said police
could save themselves trouble
by forming anti-subversive
squads. Police then could in
filtrate the party cells, like
undercover FBI agents, and
thus would know what riots
might be in store for them, he
said.
He also suggested that po-
lice read Communist literature
TO anticipate trouble.

today that "fair-weather DEM

to,work in the field during the

reports are that the number
may reach 80 or 90 within the

Mr.. Boothe noted that Vlr-
ginia Supreme Court and cir

and indeed elected, by the
Democratic caucus in Virginia S
Legislature.
"A great majority OF Cne eau

suggestion that hereafter the

the city should extend to

Achievement
Gain Charfed
Schools Improve
Since Inteqrutinq

Desegregation of the Dis
trict's public schools has not
caused a drop in classroom
achievement.
On the contrary, a report
issued today by School Supt.
Carl F. Hansen shows the rate
OF achievement by District STU
dents has increased since inte-
grafton was begun in 1855.
The evidence was supplied
in a report titled Charts of
Progress in the Desegregation
OF District Public Schools" re-
leased at DR.. HanSen's weekly
press conference. 1t provides
a comparison of test results
obtained from District students
in 1855 and later with the scor-
lngs of another group of tests
given a year ago.
No Racial Breakdown
While no breakdown as to
Negro and white students is
included, the report shows a
dramatic rate of improvements
at all grade levels tested and
in nearly all subjects. DR.
Hansen said.
To show the increase in
achievement, the superintend-
ent used the national norms as
the common denominator.
This is a fine tribute to our
teachers, that this kind of
progress has been made" he
said.
During the five-year period,
from 1855 to 1859. the per-
centage of Negro enrolment
has increased from $40 to
1871" the report pointed out.
The test scores reported are
in every case inclusive of both
white and non-white students. "
For the most part, the tests
covered all grades beginning
with the third grade.
Below U. S. NOrms
DR.. Hansen was quick to
point out that generally, the
rate of classroom achievement
in the District is below the
national norm, and has been
for some time. He added, how
ever. that the encouraging
fact is that we're improving, >
and that desegregation has not
caused an achievement drop.
In at least one instance, the
report shows a rate of achieve
ment growth which exceeds
the national improvement rate.
Included were students from
grades three through six. The
growth in the national norm
was 3.4. The improvement
here was set at 81. Included
among the subjects tested were
paragraph meaning, word
meaning, arithmetic meaning,
arithmetic computation and
spelling. The tests were given
on a city-wide basis.
Speaking of the District sys-
tenn as a whole, DR.. Hansen
said the greatest problem is
mathematics. On a city-Wide
basis, there is the least i'm
provement in arithmetic. At
third grade level. the achieve
ment rate dropped last year
below the level of the year
before.
