Alexandra
Assign 10
Negro Pupils
For First Time
No Court Order
Precedes Action
By JOHN BARRON
Star stan Writer

assign Negroes to predomi-
nantly white schools without a
court order.
1t advised the Federal Dis
trict Court in Alexandria yes
terday it will place 10 colored
students in such schools this
fall if it is directed to make
pupil assignments.
Past Federal Court orders
have admitted 16 Negroes to
previously segregated schools in
the city. However, the entry of
each was effected only by court
order and over school board
objections.
In their decision, made at a
secret meeting Thursday night,
board members agreed they
would assign two Negro ap-
plicants to Hammond High
School, three to Minnie How
ard. two to Ficklin, two to
Ramsay and one to the Jeffer-
son school for eighth graders.
Limited desegregation al
ready has occurred in all Of
these schools except Jefferson.
Strict Court Ruling
The Alexandria action re-
portedly reflects reaction to
increasingly stringent Federal
court rulings in Virginia de-
segregation cases rather than
a change in personal attitude
Of board members toward
school desegregation.
The board reported to the
court in response to a directive
from Federal Judge Albert ".
Bryan who ordered a review of
Is Negro applications.
1t disapproved two Of the
applications because, it said,
the pupils making them do not
live in the attendance areas
served by the schools they wish
to enter.
1t also rejected a third appli-
cant because classes for men
tally retarded are not offered
at the school to which he
sought admission.
Decision regarding two other
pupils was deferred pending
collectin of additional data and
reteSting.
Both the Arlington and Alex
andria school systems have
contended they are powerless
to assign pupils because Vir-
ginia law vests such authority
in the State Pupil Placement
Board.
Boards Contention
In its report, the Alexandria
board said:
"The board recognizes that
under Virginia law the State
Pupil Placement Board has the
duty and authority to make
assignments Of all pupils in
the public schools of Virginia.
Time has not permitted the
board to forward the applica-
tions to the State Pupil Place
ment Board for action. In the
event the board (Alexandria)
is considered to have the au-
thority to make assignments at
this time, it would assign the
plaintiff-intervenorS to the fol-
lowing schools"
A Federal court recently ruled
that the State board, which has
rejected all Negro transfer ap-
plications, has functioned un-
conStitutionally.
In past decisions directing
admission of colored children in
Arlington and Alexandria, Fed
eral judges merely have by
passed the State board.
Friday the Arlington School
Board told the court it will
not oppose admissions of ten
Negroes to primarily white
schools.
The board declared its op-
position to enrolment Of 20
other applicants in primarily
white schools.
The difference in the Arling-
ton and Alexandria reports is
that Alexandria said it would
assign" Negroes to previously
segregated schools. Arlington,
in effect, said it would not OBJ
ject to such assignments if
the court makes them.

This is not to say that everyone should
buy a home, or that hiring shelter is a
mistake per sc. Some people are not
suited temperamentally for home owner
ship. Others, because of their occupations,
or perhaps for other reasons, should not
assume its responsibilities
Such people, unquestionably, are better
off as tenants and should look elsewhere
for investment opportunities.
Good Dividends
But if you are fitted pSychologically. and
otherwise to own a home, you need seek
no farther for an investment that orers

borhood that is coming" rather than
'going" or, at worst, in one that is stabil-
lied sufficiently to promise that 1t will
hold up.
And. of course, it is always easier to
get your money out of a low-priced house
in a high-priced neighborhood than vice
versa.
To be we'll planned, a house must be
practical as well as attractive. Too little
closet space, a garage you can't use.

yard, a kitchen so situated that you have
to 60 through both the dining room and
the living room to answer the front door

a house less usable without changes.

You Hove to Pay

You have to live somewhere, and-unless
it is in a prison cell or free hospital ward
you have to pay to live there. What you
pay for food and clothing is gone forever.
But what you spend for shelter can supply
dividends as long as you live-and longer
if you have heirs.

If that sounds crazy to you wait until
you hear this:
There is one of life'S neceSSitieS-and
only one-that you can buy, use every
day for 20 years and then sell for as much
as you paid for it. In fact. If you are
lucky, you may even get back more than
you paid-much more.
Today's shiny automobile, beautiful
furniture and efficient appliance are to-
morrows junk. Today's elegant clothes
are tomorrow's rags
But the home you buy today, if chosen
wisely and cared for diligently, can be the
best Investment you will ever make. The
money you put into it each month VIII

addition to their family, they have just
bought a still larger house, a two-and-one-
haif-story center-hall Colonial, in an even
better neighborhood. This big step up, like
the previous one, was made possible by
combination of profit and savings in the
form of monthly payments.
In less than eight years, this young
couple-he is "a and she is 30-has pro-
gressed from an extremely modest bunga-
low to a comparatively elegant seven-rooin,
two-bath house worth more than $4,000.
But, you may argue. this couple had the
advantage Of selling their first two homes
during a period of imitation. Maybe they
would not have Jared so well under diff
ferent economic conditions. True, there
has been some change In real estate prices
since Mary and Joe bought their first little
house. But they we're able to profit pri-
marily because both that house and the
second one were chosen intelligently and
cared for zealously.

Old Plot
By Vidal
By CYNTHIA LOWRY


Associated Press Television Critic
NEW YORK, June 90
MICS Sunday Mystery Hour
is becoming the bright star of
television summer nights.
Last evening a dandy cast,
including Diana Lynn and
Anne Seymour. gave us a fine,
tense production of Dark
Possession" This, in T'V terms,
is a vintage piece by Gore
Vidal. having been first pro-
duced some six years ago.
1t concerns a young widow
who is receiving poison n-pen
letters accusing her of mur-
dering her husband. The sets
and costumes were great: a
late Victorian home of wealth,
all plush, antimacassars, and
unhappiness. There were the
beautiful widow, her plain and
jeolous spinster sister, the
grumpy invalid father and all
sorts of sinister overtones.
Unfortunately. the denoue-
ment did not live up to the
promise of the beginning. Vidal
hung his whole plot on the now
familiar schizoid killer. In
Dark Possession" the lady
with the split personality is a
killer who writes vicious notes
to her other self when she is
Janet but is a gentle soul with
spells of forgetfulness when
she's the sweet widow Char
lotte.
Maybe Vidal was first on TV
with this type Of killer, but
now it's fairly common. 1t
should be outlawed just like the
butler who done it,"
