As $500 Fire
DAMAGES Home

Fire officials are investigat-
ing the possibility that one of
three foster children lodged

three foster children were at

DR.. F. Regis Riesenman, the
st. Elizabeths Hospital psy-
chiatrist who hired a mental
telepathiSt to pursue an inves-
tigation of the Jackson murder
case, said today he is withdraw
ing from the investigation.
But the 49-year-old Dutch
medium. Peter Herkos. said he
will continue to probe into the
case without a fee and added
another prediction to tn Q
startling list he already has
made. In an appearance on
WMAL-TV last night he told
newScaster Del Malkie that
more evidence would turn up
in the case in IA days.
The investigation started a
chain of events that resulted
in the commitment of a Fairfax
County man to the Southwest
ern State Hospital for the
Criminally Insane in Marion,
Va. early yesterday. The man
had been questioned by police
a year ago in the Jackson case.
Fairfax County Judge j.
Mason Grove ordered the mans
commitment after a two-hour
hearing at LAS am. in his Of
flee at the Fairfax Court House.
Undergoing Tests
DR.. Riesenman served as a
member Of the three-man san
ity commission which ordered
the mans commitment. Off,
cials at the mental hospital,
$50 miles south of Washington,
said today he is undergoing
examinations but nothing can
be determined until doctors
complete about four weeks of
testing.
Judge Grove said the law
forbade disclosure of the mans
name. Police. meanwhile, placed
no charges against him.
Judge Grove was asked
whether he believed the man
was a suspect in the Jackson
slayings. He replied: Il would
think so there's not much
question about that"
The judge went on to say
that when he gets out of bed IN
the middle of the night to con-
duct a hearing "it's not for
purposes of a hoax"
DR.. Riesenman. in dropping
out of the case, said the matter
now rests with proper State
authorities and police. He said
he is dropping Mr.. Herkos
from his payroll. The doctor
had been paying the medium
out of his own pocket to in
vestigate the case. He sum-
moned the telepathist from his
Miami, Fla, home.
Mr.. Herkos said his further
study of the case probably will
take him throughout a 500
mile area into other States.

Diamond said letters asking
for a conference with members
of the Arlington County Board
and representatives of stores
would go out today. He added
that civic leaders will be sent
letters also, but said he did
not know how many letters
would go out.
The effect of the formal re-
quests for a conference prom
iseS at least weeks truce in
the sit-in campaign in Airing

speculate whether the Sit-ins
would be postponed beyond a
week if the Arlington County
Board agrees this week to meet
at some future date.
He contended anew that there
is no formal leadership in the

Hansen to Ask
Aid for Project in
8Grummur Schools

The participation Of District
schools in a Nationwide prof.
ect to help underprivileged
children has been stymied by
lack of funds.
Supt. Carl F. Hansen an
nounced at his press conference
yesterday that the Ford Foun-
dation has turned down the
systems request for $700, 600 to
conduct a fve-year maximum
benefits" project at eight down.
town elementary schools.
He called the foundations
refusal very disappointing"
and said he was releasing de-
tails of the proposed project
anyway in hopes of finding
some other source of support.
"The project is that good,"
he explained.
On May II. Chicago School
Supt. Benjamin C. Willis first
announced plans Of the IA ma
jor American cities to conduct
a co-ordinated project for find
ing effective ways to provide
better education for culturally
deprived children.
One Out of Three
1t is estimated that in these
cities, one out of three young
sters is so deprived.
For well over a year, school
officials from these cities have
been comforting with each other
and with Ford Foundation Off
cials about the project. This
week, however, DR.. Hansen re-
ceived a letter from the foun-
dation saying it had decided to
provide support for only seven
of the IA projects.
The superintendent said he
had no idea which cities re-
ceived grants, nor did he know
why the District was excluded.
The proposed project here
would be similar in concept to
an experimental project actu-
ally started last fall at Macfar-
land Junior High School and
supported by the Meyer Foun-
dation.
Plan Described
This is the way the formal
proposal described the plan:
This project proposes to ac-
celerate the education growth
of culturally deprived children.
discover and develop talents
and completeness, and estab-
lish socially acceptable values.
This will be accomplished by
broadening the present school
offering, improving the school,
community relationship and by
increasing parental involve
ment in the school program.
The eight schools that had
been selected for the project
are Bundy. Cleveland, J. F.
Cook, Scott Montgomery
Morse, Seaton-Perry, Simmons,
Slater -Langston and Walker
Jones. A number of additional
personnel would be required for
the project, including 80 nom
professional aides to help with
the routine chores.
Preliminary results of the
Mcfarland project already
have shown that special help
can substantially improve the
academic performance of cul-
turally deprived youngsters.
DR.. Hansen said he does not
want to include a maximum
benefits" program in his regu-
lar budget requests until it is
proved successful on an ex-
perimental basis.

dental candidate willing to
stand on the Eisenhower Nixon
record"
Nearly all the convention
delegates wore Nixon buttons
and there was little talk of Gov.
Rockefeller, who this week
asked Vice President Nixon to
make a stand on the issues.
Mr.. Rinehart praised the
constructive record" of the
Eisenhower administration.
The chairman, in an obvious
reference to Democratic Sen
ator Kennedy, hit at excessive
spending" in primaries. He
said the Republicans believe in
primaries but that they should
not be used Ito build up candi-
dates by excessive spending"
Miller Favored
There was some indication
that some of the younger dele
gates may be dissatisfied with
the handling of the national
convention delegate list. The
convention will elect "a dele
gates and "a alternates and
most of them have been put
on the list by the older party
leaders.
Party leaders repeatedly
have agreed on former Repre-
sentative Edward T. Miller,
seeking reelection from the
First District on the Eastern
Shore, to become the States
national committeeman.
