third Of 10 scheduled by the
Federal Aviation Agency for
major airports over the coun-

Designed specifically to de-

One idea discussed would be
to arrange the Federal build

Another possibility, the design

The continuing influx Of Ne
gro families into the Nations
Capital has caused another
Jump in the percentage Of Ne
gro pupils in District public
schools.
A report by District School
Supt. Carl F. Hansen shows the
percentage Of Negro students
has increased this fall to q rec
ord Of 1877.
The figure has risen 8 per
cent over last years 76.7. The
previous year, 1859, it was
TAI.
The breakdown by race was
part of the annual enrolment
report released by DR.. Hansen
at his weekly press conference
yesterday. It showed both an
increase in the number of Negro
students and q continuing drop
in the total number Of white
students.
97,S97 Negroes
The number Of Negroes, the
report said, stands this year at
1 1897. compared to 90,403 last
year. The number of white pu-
pills is 1882, or 2,499 fewer
than last year.
The Negro increase was re-
flected in all school divisions
except the Capitol Page School
and the Veterans High School
Center. The systems Ameri-
canization School remained 100
per cent Negro.
Elementary schools went
from sos per cent Negro last
year to 1872 this year. Junior
highs went from 72.5 per cent
to II. Senior highs went from
65.S to 67.2.
Increases also are seen in
other divisions: Vocational
highs. from 68.5 to 1876 Negro,
and District Teachers College,
from 73.4 to SOL.
Much Lower Nearby
Contrasted with the Districts
new all-time high Negro-white
ratio. the latest enrolment
figures in nearby jurisdictions
of Maryland and Virginia show

Prince Georges County has q
Negro enrolment of 10 per
cent; Montgomery County, 4
per cent: Fairfax County. 3 per
cent; Alexandria, about is per
cent, and Arlington County,
less than l per cent.
At least some integration has
taken place in all those nearby
areas.
In explaining the figures, DR..

cent report showed the achieve

to be below national norms in

Water reuse will. be the

told a meeting Of the Chesa-
peake section Of the American
Water Works Association at the
Sheraton-Park Hotel.
Mr.. Schwarz. chief Of the
Potomac River branch OF the
Corps of Engineers Washington

emphasis must be placed on
reducing pollution OF the river
so that 1t can be used more
often.
Storage Held Essential
After river water is used by
one community, 1t must 60 back
in the river in q condition so
that people In the next town
downstream can use it," he
said.
Today, Harold P. Guy, hy-
draulic engineer with the United
States Geological Survey, re-
ported that the belt Of intensive
construction around Washing
ton may be dumping between
100000 and / million tons Of
sediment into the Potomac
annually. This. he said. was
an educated guess" but the
amount of sediment clogging
streams in the Washington
area feeding into the Potomac
is likely; to rise with increased
urbanization.
He said q study Of the Ken
sington- Wheaton Bethesda ares
Of intensive construction re-
vealed that Rock Greek alone is
dumping about 10000 tons o1
dirt into the river annually.
Because of the flow Of sedi-
ment. largely sub soil. washed
from area development sites
there is further danger Of in

nected the nylon to the
motor and from 9 am. to 8

The result is effective.
Smith, struggling on the

He recommended further
studies to define areas Of future
urban construction and the re-

to reduce sub soil runoff. The
chief cause of stream sitting, he
said, is the building practice OF
stripping trees and topsoil form

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

REVENGE: At the age of
10, American Artist John
Singer Sargent went to Paris
to study under a French
painter named Duran. The
latter was so impressed with
the young Americans talent,
that when he was commits
stoned to make a painting on
the ceiling Of the Luxembourg
Palace, he painted In the
head of Sargent as q tribute.
Duran liked to paint Sarg-
ent's hands, and for several
years Sargent obligingly posed
for him. AS his own fame
grew, however, Sargent could
spare less and less time.
Finally the day came when
he was forced to refuse when
Duran asked him to pose.
Duran became so angry that
he went to the Luxembourg
Palace, climbed a ladder to
the ceiling and painted out
Sargent's head.

Opening lead: Spade queen.
West could defeat the con-
tract Immediately by leading a
heart, but there was no way
he could guess this from the
bidding or from the makeup of
his hand. He led the queen of
spades, even as you and I
would.
South won with the ace of
spades, drew trumps and cashed
the top clubs. He gave up a
third round Of clubs to West,
and now West led a heart.
1t was curtains for declarer.
The defenders took two heart
tricks. and South's only con-
ISOLATION was the thought that
he had made the day brighter
for his opponents.
Who Is Your Friend?
In a hand of this sort you
must ask yourself who is your
friend and who is your enemy.
AS we have seen, West is your
enemy. He will lead a heart If
you let him win a trick, and
then you are in serious dan
ger.
East is your friend. II he
leads a heart, dummy's king
will get a heart trick. Treat
East kindly, and all will be well.
In other words, develop the
clubs in such a way as to give
up a trick to East, not to West.
After drawing two rounds of
trumps, lead a club and play
dummy's nine If West plays
low. This will compel East to
win the trick.
West may thwart you by
playing an honor on the first
round Of clubs. This compels
you to play dummy's king of
clubs. Ruff a spade and lead
another club toward dummy.
West must play low this time.
and you flnesSe the nine to
make East win the trick.
East can get out safely with
a spade, but you can run, lead
a club to the ace, and reach
your hand with a trump. Now
you cash the last two clubs to
discard two hearts from dunn
my. The contract Is thus as
Sured.

All is not sweetness and light

Bill Veeck on the Chicago
White Sox, despite a statement
by Comiskey's father-in-law
that everything is just dandy.
Comiskey owns as per cent

Frank Curran, Comiskey's

of the clubs board of directors,
said an agreement has been
reached, to be finally approved
by March 8, whereby a new
