Facts Offered
l. Although the power and
wealth Of our Nation are enor-
nous and the dollar is the
pivot around which all other
free world currencies revolve,
for almost two years our dollar
has been losing reputation. The
harshest warning of what is
occurring has been the in
crease in the price Of gold on
the London market. The dol
var is pegged to gold at $35 an
ounce; so this price means that
the dollar is quoted at about
IS per cent discount in terms
of gold.
It means that many specu-
lators don't believe we'll be
able to hold a $35 gold price
and are gambling that well
have to devalue the dollar.

National Broadcasting Co. plan
for reshuf1ing its television sta

Four major metropolitan

are involved.
The investigation is required
under terms of an antitrust
judgment entered at Philadel-
phia last September against
NBC and its parent, Radio Co,
of America.
However, the department
said in response to the INQUIRY
the investigation also involves
a complaint filed with the anti

Court Denies
Mallory Rule
Hearing PIeu

Eight of the nine judges of
the United States Court of Ap-
peals today rejected a rehear-
ing in the case which has pro-
duced a new Interpretation of
the Mallory rule.
The defendants. Earl Carter
and Warren Goldsmith, had
contended that police detained
them too long after their arrest
before taking them to court.
They had argued that this
violated the 1857 Supreme
Court decision in the case of
Andrew Mallory. This decision
said in part that defendants
must be arraigned as quickly as
possible.
The Court of Appeals opinion
by Judge Warren E. Burger said
police had correctly delayed
after the arrest until both de-
PENDANTS had confessed.
The defense attorneys asked
the entire court to rehear the
case because, they claimed, po-
lice lacked the necessary evi-
dence to make a lawful arrest.
They took issue with Judge
Burger, who said less evidence
is necessary for arrest than for
charges and arraignment.
The appellate court today de-
MED the rehearing without
comment. Judge David L. Baze-
Ion disagreed and said he would
have granted a new hearing.
Defense counsel Foster Wood
said he would confer with the
other defense attorney, Daniel
I. Sherry, before deciding to
take the case to the Supreme
Court.

centage of the entire popul&-
ton the annual enrolment in
creases will be less in the years
ahead" he said.
But the actual number of
children entering school will
remain constant or actually in
crease. The number has been
going up by about 1,250,000 a
year. In the years ahead it
may average as high as is
million"
Both the council and Mr..
Lambert quoted estimates of
the United States Office of
Education that the classroom
shortage as of last fall was
1872, 400.
Figure Work Noted
The council said. however,
'it is clear that this figure
includes a large number which
are based simply on arithmetic
computations and have no re-
lationship to what individual
school districts recognize as
needs that should be met .
Thus, a school district with
so classrooms might have an
excess enrolment Of so pupils
above the State standard of 80
per classroom, but have no more
than one, two, or three pupils
excess in any classroom. Al
though this school district
would have no need or intention
to add any claSsrooms, it would
be counted as having a Short
age of two classroomS.
Such situations very likely
exist in many thousands of the
10000 school districts. Ac-
cordingly, the reported backlog
is clearly, and probably con-
Siderably, overstated."
Mr.. Lambert said that any
such over-eStimateS would be
more than offset by a number
of obsolete school buildings,
many of them firetraps, "
which should be replaced.

of a Federal aid measure would
be absurd" it added.
A spokesman for the Ma
tional Education Association, a
group which favorS massive
Federal support for public
schools, accused the council
of playing with figures"
Salary Motive Suspected
The council, in a statement
sent to its 20 member organi-
cations, yesterday said advo-
Gates of Federal aid to educa-
tion "are at least as interested
in getting Federal funds for
paying teachers salaries as
they are in school construction
assistance"
They want a school conStruc-
tion bill, the statement said,
to serve as a Sizeable foot-in-
the-door for subsequent legis-
lation to pay teachers sala-
ries."
The council said the class
room shortage has not only
failed to grow over the last
five years as predicted, but has
actually declined, and gave two
reasons:
First, the communities and
States have provided for the
construction of far more class
rooms each year than the many
so called authorities argued
would be the maximums. Sec
ond, the alleged shortages and
projections of need were grossly
exaggerated"
Peak Declared Passed
The council went on: THE
projections of classroom needs
IN the years ahead cannot be
a cause for alarm.
The fact is that the boom
in school-age population has
passed its peak and that an
nual enrolment increases in
public schools over the next
five years will be materially
less than in the last five years."

Lawn Seed Check

District merchants selling

that Federal inspectors will ex-

violations of the Federal Seed
Act.
Seed sold In the District is
considered in interstate COM
merce and the law requires that
such products be fully and ac-
curately labeled. Maryland and
Virginia have thei rown State
acts, modelled after the Federal
law. Each State has its own
inspectors.
Inspections have not been
made in Washington in, recent
years because Of personnel
shortages, according to the Ag-
riculture Department.
The chief violation is sale of
seed held over from the previ-
Gus growing season. Agriculture
said the labels must carry the
names and percentages of each
kind of seed in the package, the
types and amounts Of weed
seeds, the percentage that will
germinate and the date such a
test was made.
