to take action.

The school board also told
Judge Bryan that one other
child had applied for a kinder
garten class at a school which
has no kindergarten, but that it
would not oppose the child's ad-
mission to a school with such a
class.
One other Negro child ap-
piled for admission to a sight
saving class at Page Elemen-
tary School, and the board
said it would not oppose the
application when there was.
room in the class.
B. S. Hilton, executive secre-
tary of the Pupil Placement
Board, called School Superin-
tendent Ray Reid with the an
nouncement yesterday.
Mr.. Hilton said the board
had not yet acted on the ap-

Anti-Segregotion Pickets Win Test
OF Endurance in Rain at Bethesda

Weary, rain-Soaked pickets
continued a marathon anti
segregation demonstration at a
Bethesda theater today, after
outlasting opponents in a
night-long test of endurance.
At $50 am, two white teen
ayers, drenched by a fresh rain
storm, gave up their vigil out
side the Hiser Theater and
went home, promising to return
later today.
But two colored youths, after
13 hours of picketing against
the segregated policy of the
theater at 7414 Wisconsin ave-

their protest indefinitely.

CityPIans
To Reform
Income Tax

District officials hope to sub
NIT new legislation to Congress
in January to simplify the city's
income tax forms.
Schuyler Lowe, director of
the Department of General
Administration, and Kenneth
Back, finance officer, said to-
day that steps are now being
taken to revise the income tax
form so it will be easier for
taxpayers to fill out.
Both said their goal is to
have proposed new legislation
approved by the Commissioners
and ready for Congress when
it meets in January.
Problems Faced
However, Mr.. Lowe said
there are many technical prob
lens that. must be worked out.
Several months ago, Engineer
Commissioner A. C. yelling
urged that steps be taken to
simplify District income tax
procedures.
Mr.. Back said one action
that could be taken to simplify
the District form would be to
make the base for payment of
the District income tax similar
to that required by the Federal
Government.
He said one system under
consideration is that used in
New York State now. In New
York, he explained, the ad-
justed gross income tax for
Federal taxes is also the ad-
justed gross income for State
income tax.
Applies Own Rates
However, he said, New York
State applies its own rates to
this gross income figure.
In a memorandum to Com
missioner yelling, Mr.. Back
said it might be desirable for
the Commissioners ito be given
authority by Congress to set
income tax rates similar to the
authority they now have to set
real estate and personal prop
erty tax rates."

written to Pennsylvania Sen. Hugh
Scott In he=7letter Nixon nlade~it
clear he intends to assume lofty
tone in his campaign. Indirectly he
scored Synaington and Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey, among others who had
called him "Sir Richard, the Nimble",
are "aftful dodger" and political
Juvenile delinquent. Nixon's attitude
was that sticks and stones may break
his bones but names weren't going
to hurt him. And, furthermore, he
was going to IGNORE" such personal
attacks.
Did this please his friends and
staunchest supporters, such as Gov.
Wesley Powell of New Hampshire,
George Sokolsky, the colunnist, and
others? It did not, not by long-shot.
One ardent Nixon man wrote that
if he persisted In assuming this atti-
tude, not only was he no longer the
Nixon the right-wingers knew and
loved, but that Humphrey and KEN
needy would "cut him to pieces.
A big metropolitan newspaper,
winch has long supported Nixon ana
did great deal to knock Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller out of the race, edi-
torially has called upon Nixon to be-
have like his old self. If he insists
on behaving like statesman, he is
certain to suffer the same fate as be-
fell Thomas E. Dewey in 1948, he
was warned.
What does Nixon do in case like
this? If he takes the ''high road" he
loses the hard-core or low-brows who
stood by him during all his previous
troubles. If he takes the Glow road"
he stands to reignite the old animosi-
ties among Democrats and independ-
ents which, he hopes, are dying out
Nixon has tried to solve his prob
lem by announcing that he will do !
s'no campaigning before the July
convention. Does that also mean he
will sit out the civil rights fight in
Congress-? If he opens his mouth,
someone will say he is campaigning :.
If he keeps quiet the causes he sup
posedly espouse will suffer.
Who says speech is free? Or that
silence is golden. a
