HoIdup Suspect Held
On Storekeeper's Tip

Pvt. Adams was able to collar
only one. identified as Joseph
r. Smallwood, 20. of the 90C
block of Forty-sixth street
NE, the lieutenant reported
No one was injured in the
wreck.
2 Pistols Found
1t. Kutner said Smallwood
and his companions planned
Ito follow Mr.. Fisher home
then force him at gunpoint to
return to the store and open
the safe. Two pistols and a
hunting knife were found in
the car, the lieutenant said.
After questioning Smallwood
was charged with taking part
in the August % holdup of the
manager of a Peoples Drug
Store at 6072 George Palmer
highway, Suitland, 1t. Kutner
said. In that case, $4,000 was
taken when three men forced

Smallwood also was charged
by District police with con-
spiracy to commit robbery,
carrying deadly weapons and

personal appeals to members
of the city council.
The pupils live in Grayson
Countys oldtown district and
have been going to school at
nearby white Galax High with
Galax youngsters under a 20
year contract between the
county and the city.
That contract was Cancelled
yesterday and school doors
closed to the county pupils a
few hours after Federal Judge
John Paul ordered the school
to admit the county's Negroes
along with white children.
Strong Protests Made
- Some residents of the area
near the North Carolina border
| in mountainous Southwest Vir-
ginia were reported "up in
arms" over the action. A num-
Der of Galax students at the
school paid personal visits to
individual members of city
council.
There were emotional scenes
at Galax High when School
Supt. Marvin Sutphin told the
Grayson children over the pub
lie address system that yester-
day was their last day at the
school.
He told them to take their
books and personal property
home and stay there until they
received instructions from
Grayson School Supt. Alonza
Monday.
Some of the girls emerged
from the school crying. So
were some parents who turned
up.
About 300 city students were
left in the school.
City residents circulated a
petition, address to Mayor Nc
Camant Higgins and School
Board Chairman L. A. Kyle
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-09-10

which said Galax residents had
had no voice in yesterdays
school board action.
In a separate petition, Gray
son residents asked the board
of supervisors to insist the con-
tract be enforced so Oldtown
district pupils could continue
attending Galax High.
Judge Paul ruled August %
that the eight Negroes from
Grayson's oldtown district must
be admitted to a white school
since the county does not OPP
crate a Negro high school.
Judge Paul did not say then if
the eight should be admitted
to one of the county's white
high schools or to Galax High,
where the white pupils from
the same district attend.
Eight Reassigned
The Grayson school board
assigned the eight to the
county's white independence
High, 10 miles from their home,
but on registration day they
showed up at Galax. Supt.
Sutphin told them he had no
orders to admit them and told
them to go to independence
High. Instead. they went home
and have not entered any
school this term.
In another school develop
ment, the 4th Circuit Court of
Appeals in Richmond yesterday
upheld a lower court ruling
that the Norfolk School Board
was justified in denying a
group of Negro children ad-
mission to an all-white school
The court said Norfolk's school
board appears to be complying
with the Supreme Courts 1854
school desegregation edict Sin
an orderly transition period.

Record Fund Urged
For Health Services
District Agency
Asks Grunt of
SAILS Million
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS
Star stan Writer

The District Health Depart
ment, faced with the rising cost
of sickness and the need to re-
build much of District General
Hospital, would get a record
SAL, 529,180 operating budget
and a capital outlay Of $11, 940,-
900 for fiscal 1862 under Dis
trict Budget ONCE recommen-
dations.
The proposed operating
budget for fiscal 1862 would in
clude bringing the Crippled
Children's Unit, physically To-
Gated at the hospital, out OF
the Bureau of Maternal and
Child Health and into the hos
pitfalls program for the first
time. This has been a Tester
ing issue between the bureau
and the hospital for years.
1t would increase the pay
ments to private hospitals in
Washington for the care Of
indigents and raise the pay Of
interns and residents at Dis
trict General.
$3.S Million Higher
The 1899, 100 propose
budget is $780, 1896 higher than
the current $37,726,785 operat-
ing budget. The request was
trimmed from the original
$42,313,149 asked by the Health
Department.
The removal of the Crippled
Children's Unit from the Bu-
'reau of Maternal and Child
Health to the hospital as a
separate service would, accord
ing to the request, serve the
"best interests of the patients,
the hospital and the entire
crippled children's program.
The unit would be brought
into the hospitals residency
training program and medical
school affiliation established.
The seven private hospitals
caring for indigents on a con-
tract basis would be reimbursed
at the rate of $50 per day in
stead of the current rate of
$25. Payment for outpatient
visits would be increased from
"a to Sc. An increase of $780,
I769 was recommended, which
would bring the total IN this
area up to $2,669,827. A SINH
lar increase was recommended
for District indigents going to
Freedmen's Hospital.
Sd More Pay
Some $24S.O53 would be
granted the District General
Hospital for in-grade promo
lions and increased salaries for
Iinterns and residents. Residents
and interns would received a
$500 per year increase If mar
Eried and $500 per year If single.
Funds for District Generals
Ipsychiatric rehabilitation CEN
ter would be provided for the
first time. The request is for 80
positions at a cost Of $457 1853
for a nine month period Begin
ming October /, 1861.
The center will house mar
cotic addicts, chronic alcoholics,
psychotic and neurotic patients
requiring prolonged hospitaliza-
ton. AS patients are rehabili-
tated they will be given jobs
in the hospital before returning
to the community.
Overall increased operating
costs at the hospital would be
increased 81 ,009, 1929 to $12,876,-
1877.
The $11, 100000 for capital
outlay would go to rebuild and
consolidate D. C.. Generals
three main buildings - Tnedi-
cine, surgery and pulmonary
and increase the present bed
capacity of 1922 to 1882.
The reconstruction, recon-
mened several years ago by a
New York hospital consultant
firm, would modernize the in
stitution and provide facilities
for better treatment.
