sion pending a meeting of the
academy's board Monday.
Arthur L. Ribble, director OF
instruction. said he felt a pro-
posed cut in the schools staff
for September will leave the
school with an unavoidable pro-
gram.
Downing L. Smith. president
OF the Rock Hill Corp, ano
Henry B. Gordon, president OF
the Charlottesville Educational
Foundation, both declined COM
ment.
Mr.. Ribble, in commenting or
his resignation, said:
MY primary purpose for
coming here was education and
had nothing to do with politics
/ felt the educational system in
Charlottesville needed TO be
augmented, and this was ar
excellent opportunity to fill that
need.
1T has been my idea that
this school was not to replace
the public schools but to sup
plement them. When the
school fails in its educational
objectives, then it fails to ac-
complish the purpose for which
I was working"
Arthur D. Barfield, CEF edu-
.cational director, has indicated
that similar reasons lay behind
his resignation, submitted two
months ago. Mr.. Barfield
added:
"Basically, my thinking also
is not the thinking that perme-
ates this organization along
these same lines. whole
heartedly agree with Mr.. Ribble
that this institution was not to
replace the public schools, but
to support them"

Arlington Urged
To Control Pupil
Assignments

The Arlington League Of
Women Voters today urged the
county to assume control OF
pupil assignments promptly.
It asked the county board to
consider enactment Of ar
emergency ordinance which
would permit the school board
to say which school students
should attend.
The women voters declared
the pupil placement "is a prop
er function of local school off,
cials" and necessary to sound
school administration"
They requested board men,
bers to obtain an Endorsement
of local assignment from the
school board within the next
two weeks.
The State Pupil Placement
Board in Richmond now rules
on entry Applications by new
students and on requests for
transfers. The Board was set
UP as part of the States origi-
nal anti-integration program,
but Federal court rulings
brought integration to the
State anyhow
AS of March /, local juris-
dictions have been given au-
thority to assume control OF
pupil placement if the school
board requests the power and
if the local governing body ap-
proves the request.
The Arlington school board
has requested the state to clar-
ify procedures which must be
followed if the county should
decide to seek permanent con-
troll. but it has made no rec
ommendation to the county
board.

Fairfax Study
0nYear-Round
CIassesAsked
Report Due in Fall;
Leonard Sees Rise
In Teacher Puy

The Fairfax County School
Board today decided to look
into the possibility of operating
classes on a year-round
schedule.
The proposal to study such a
plan was made by Board Mem
Der Waldron Leonard at a spe-
cial meeting called to consider
details of proposed $29.2 mil
hon school construction bond
issue.
In a letter prepared for the
School Board, Mr.. Leonard said
that under his proposal more
varied classes could be taught
and teachers could be paid
more. County schools currently
operate nine months q year, as
in most places.
ITO state that the weather is
too warm Tin the summer) for
young people to attend classes
does not seem a substantial
reason when they attend other
schools in the same months"
Mr.. Leonard added. He men
TONED private business and
electronics courses.
At first Mr.. Leonard asked
that such program be ready
for use by 1868. But when his
motion was seconded by Board
Member F. Merritt Ruhlen, Mr..
Leonard agreed to leave out the
time element.
Assistant School Supt. Robert
B. Walker said he had been
convinced for years" that a
year-round school system would
be a simple matter to ad-
minister and organize"
Mr.. Walker noted that the
school administration already
had done a good deal Of re-
search on such plans and had
proposed them as much as 10
years ago.
Mr.. Walker said. I'VE hit
into a hornets nest every time"
when the plans were proposed
previously.
The board agreed unani-
mously on the proposed study
and asked Mr.. Walker to come
up with several plans by next
September.

Gusch Calls
Youth Court
Understdffed

The Districts Juvenile Court
is "woefully understaffed," in
the opinion of United States
Attorney Oliver Gasch.
Mr.. Gasch, speaking at the
annual Civil Liberties Clearing
House. commented on the 2l.7
per cent rise in crime in the
District.
Mr.. Gasch said he could not
say whether the rise is Ito any
degree attributable to the
strictness which is characters
tic of our OCCASIONAL law"
This was reference to the 1857
Mallory decision which re.
versed the conviction of a man
charged with rape. The Su-
preme Court held that police
had questioned the suspect for
7l2 hours instead of having the
man srraigned as soon as pos
sible after his arrest.
Mr.. GaSch said Mallory
questions" are Of controlling
Importance in probably less
than S per cent Of our criminal
prosecutions.
But he did point out that
there has been a marked pop
ulation shift" and that facil-
tiles which go hand in hand
with effective and intelligent
law enforcement. such as ex-
tensive boys clubs, have been
reduced rather than increased. /"
Mr.. Gasch added that if the
Juvenile Court were properly
stated. "it would be of great
assistance in winning away
from life of crime those bor-
der juvenile delinquents who
today are denied the guidance
of an effective juvenile court. 4"

which will go to finance two
new HWC members-Home-
maker Service and the Alexan-
dria branch of the YMCA-the

$4.085,3ll apportioned d by
HWC.
The council gave 81 agencies
throughout the area increases
totaling $95,1O9, primarily in
family and child welfare, home
nursing, hospital care, and
neighborhood services in low
income districts.
Forty-four agencies were
given a uniform proportionate
treatment" cut Of 81 per cent,
Eleven were cut still more.
In all, 80 agencies with a
total Of 81 branches were
covered.
13 Appeal Cuts
Thirteen agencies, almost
twice as many as last year,
appealed tentative ALLEGATIONS
by the councils budget COM
mittee. The committee restored
a cut of $3,358 to Southwest
Community House. bringing its
ALLEGATION up to last years
figure of $l2.358. An extra

Jewish Social Service Agency,
raising its ALLEGATION to $9l .422
1t originally has been granted

D. c. Transit Seeks
County Lines Okay
Plans to Sturt
Bus Services
On April 3

The D, C. Transit Co. has
asked the Maryland Public
Service Commission for per-
mission to begin operations on
buslines now served by Inter-
County Transit and its prede.
cessor. Suburban Transit Co.,
starting April 8.
At the same time, Inter-
County Transit. a subsidiary
of VIVA Transit Co., Inc. has
asked permission to discon-
tinue its operations "on or
about April /" because of "se-
we're financial losses"
The two petitions were re-
|ceived in Baltimore yesterday
and probably will be acted on
next week by the commission,
according to Albert L. Deem,
executive secretary Of the PSC.
The projected transfer has
been in the talking stage for
some time and was the subject
of a public hearing held before
the PSC last year.
Fare Rise Involved
If approved, it viii mean
slightly higher fares for Mary
land bus patrons, since D. C.
Transit already has higher
rates than Inter- County on
other lines it operates in SUBJ
urban Maryland.
D. c. Transit fares in Mary
land now are based on zones
IL cents for the first one, 8
cents for the second and z
cents for each additional one.
The company has asked the
PSC for approval, effective
April 3. for the same rates for
its subsidiary, Montgomery Bus
Lines, Inc, which operates
buses between Bethesda and
Rockville. A 30-day advance
notice of this was fled with the
Public Service Commission on
March 3.
In its latest petition, D. c.
Transit asked that it be au-
thorized to start operations
over numerous routes, prin-
cipally in Montgomery County,
which "by and large duplicate"
those formerly operated by
Thomas Parran. jr.. and Sub
urban Transit Co., and more
recently by Inter-County
Transit.
Losses Increase
The Inter County petition
said the firm has suffered Sc
we're financial losses in its op-
Grafton of regular route service
of it's existing inter and intra
State routes" The firm added
that "these losses have progress
sively increased in severity, and
the corporation has reached a
position where it cannot pos
sibly continue to bear such
losses"
One entirely new route pro-
posed by D. c. Transit would
start at Prince Georges General
Hospital and terminate at the
Langley Park shopping center,
going via the Prince Georges
Plaza shopping area.
D. C. Transit plans to hire
the A drivers and maintenance
personnel now employed by
Inter County. The men are
represented by the same bus
operators union that has an
agreement with D. c. Transit,
the spokesman said.

to soften the facts" The super
intendent had asked the his
tory department to make the
study after the recent anti

Report on College
DR.. Hansen also released a
program report on District
Teachers College. 1t was pre-
pared for the National Council
for Accreditation of Teacher
Education, which last year gave
the institution provisional ac-
creditation.
The report reviewed i'm
provements made at the college

tional dues and also give local
councils share in dues in the
future.
