the board to permit the trans

be recognizing a duplicate

would violate the Supreme
Court school desegregation de-

School Board UphoIds
Refusal to Shift Negro

A Negro member Of the Col

lost his appeal to the Prince
Georges County School Board
to have his son attend an
"integrated" school.
Dervey Lomax, 8115 Fifty
fourth avenue, had submitted
the prescribed transfer appli-
cation for his son, Gregory
asking that he be assigned next
month to the Seat Pleasant
School, about 10 miles from
his home.
School Supt. william S.
Schmidt had denied the re-
quest, noting that the Lomax
house is across the street from
the Lakeland School in the
predominately Negro commu-
nifty.
One of Mr.. Lomax's reasons
for the transfer was that his
son had been tutored last year
after Mr.. Schmidt denied a re-
quest for the boy to be enrolled
in the first grade at Beltsville
Elementary, a few miles from
the Lomax house.
AS a secondary reason, Mr..
Lomax said he wanted his son

into the complex financial
agreements between the Fed

said. For example, the pro-
posed tunnel under the Lincoln
Memorial will be paid from a
fund in which the Federal Gov
ernment pays 80 per cent and
we pay 10 per cent. Isn't that
right?"
We'll. not exactly" Mr.. Ait
ken said. "a good portion will
come out of interstate funds,
and the rest will come out OF
regular Federal aid. We don't
have to pay a thing with Dis
trict money"

the District always had to
match Federal funds under the
regular aid formula?" the Com
missioner queried.

Mr., Kahn's bid of two spades

to game. promising extreme
shortneSs in spades and great
strength in the other suits. Mr..
Koytchou's raise to three spades
was mildly obstructive.
Mr.. Won Zedtwitz doubled to

Mr.. Ogust pushed on to four
spades, fearing that his oppo-

Mr.. Kahn repeated his own
cue bid by going to five spades.
By this time he was convinced
that his side could make q

Mr.. Koytchou was likewise
convinced by this time. He went
on to six spades, and Mr.. Won
Zedtwitz silenced the oratory
with a brisk double.
The contract was defeated

The Districts two newest
Commissioners took off their
jackets, surrounded themselves
with maps and scale models.
and listened to a lecture on how
Washington's super : highway
plans are doing and where the
money is coming from.
The lecture yesterday lasted
an hour. It took Commissioners
Walter N. Tobriner and John
B. Duncan into an engineers
wonderland Of architects draw
ings, Federal highway fund for
mulas, ALLEGATION factors, con-
struction time tables and prob
lems-mostly problems.
Harold L. Aitken, District
highway director, stood before
multi-colored maps with a
pointer in his hand, briefing
the two non-engineering Com
missioners on the $3.50 million,
10-year construction program.
Commissioner Tobriner had
asked for the meeting. He said
that since he was appointed
earlier this year he has realized
he needs more knowledge about
the Districts highway plans.
Commissioner (Frederick j.
Clarke is the engineer in this
outfit" he said. But Mr.. Dun
can and I should know more
about these things"
Mr.. Aitken agreed. He ad-
justed his glasses, turned to
his maps and Tended off ques-
tions on when certain highways
would be built and how they
would fit into the overall pro-
gram of construction. He used
maps with solid blue lines and
broken red lines.
With the aid of two assist
ants, he easily fielded every
question. But then the Com
missioners wanted to talk about
money.
How much of the inter-
state highway system through
Washington will be paid for by
Federal funds?" Mr.. Tobriner
asked.
Mr.. Aitken looked dismayed
at the question. Some parts
of some of the highways will
be paid for entirely out Of these
funds" he said. "Other parts
will be paid for with District
tax money matching Federal
money. OF course, there are
other parts that will. have to
be paid entirely from District
funds"

Five suspects waived pre-

and the other three were
ordered held after a hearing
before Upper Marlboro Police
Court Judge William H. Nc
Grath.
Three of the suspects denied
police charges that they
admitted participating in the

Assistant States Attorney
Francis x. Gaegler, jr.,
brought out testimony that a
dozen hacksaw blades were
bought in Upper Marlboro by
John r. Mitchell, II, of the
500 block of Sligo avenue,
Silver Spring, after he was re-
leased from jail on bond last
Tuesday.
He passed the blades Thurs
day through the Jail yard fence
to two prisoners, James H,
Spriggs, 10. of the TOO block
of Addison road, Fairmount
Heights, and James w. White,
10, of Baltimore, according to
prosecution testimony.
Witnesses said the two car
ried the blades upstairs to five
prisoners who later became
disorderly and were transferred
downstairs to the solitary
drunk cell. Bars were cut dur
ing the night.
One suspect, Robert G. Isen-
berg, II, of the 1000 block of
Nineteenth place Sc, sang
and shouted during the night to
cover up the noise Of the saw
ing, Detective Capt. Wilson j.
Purdy testified.
While Spriggs admitted being
in the jail yard to hang up
laundry on Thursday he denied
having any knowledge Of the
blades. He said he signed a
statement of admission for
police because he was sleepy
and was told he wouldn't be
fed until he signed.
Spriggs said he had heard
talk in the jail that the price
for the blades had gone UP
from a carton of cigarettes to
SIS and a watch.

Sheriff ]. Lee Ball Of Prince
Georges County yesterday cut
back on the punishment he
meted out earlier for six of his
jailers because OF an attempted
break last Friday.
william C. Duley, Charles
C. Dixon and Joseph N. Wat
son were suspended indefi-
nitely" instead Of being dis
missed. John C. Garner was
suspended for five days in
stead of 30, and William l.
Lattimer was given five-day
suspension instead of an in
definite suspension. No action
will be taken against Leroy
Quinn, originally suspended
for five days.
The original punishments
we're announced Saturday y
night. The changes were dis
closed in the sheriff's letter to
the County Personnel Office
Sheriff Ball said he reduced
Mr.. Gamers suspension be-
cause the jailer always has
done a good job and is very
conscientious" He expressed
the belief that the five-day sus-
pension for Mr.. Garner would
do "just as much good as six
months"
OF Mr.. Quinn. the sheriff
said this jailer had been on
duty only four or five months
and did not deserve the origi-
nal five-day suspension.
The sheriff said he has hired
one new jailer and two others
are being interviewed for va
cancies.
He said Mr.. Dixon was the
jailer who changed a $40 bill
for one Of the prisoners and
used a dollar to buy four packs
of cigarettes for the prisoner.
There should have been no
money in those cells at all, "
Mr.. Ball said.

cision to have jailers punch a

The worlds leading neurO-
surgeons today wound up their .
second International Congress
of Neurosurgery and scheduled
the next one for Copenhagen
in 1865.
Some 1900 brain specialists
from so nations ended their /
five days of intensive scientific !
sessions. the first such meet
ing in history not connected
with another group.
Yesterday the surgeons took
up the miseries of thousands
suffering mysterious facial
pains and phantom limbs"
The actual causes of these
cheek pains or of pains in
arms and legs that don't exist
are not fully understood.
But neuroSurgery often can
help by severing nerves in the
brain sensory tract beneath
the skull. And a few doctors
are now destroying certain It's
sue in and near the thalamus.
a nucleus deep within the
brain that is known to control
involuntary acts.
From England and Germany
came reports on unexplained
facial pain which can be so
severe and seemingly perma-
nent that it changes entire per-
sonalities.
Injections Tried
Prof. D. w. c. Mortified.
head Of neuroSurgery at London
Hospital. and Prof. A. E. STEM
der, head Of neurosurgery at
Westland Hospital. Berlin
Charlottenburg. Germany. re-
ported on cases of relief of
facial pain by surgery and in
jections of hot water or alco-
hol.
The most permanent cure is
generally to sever certain nerves
in the sensory tract by surgery.
But this often leaves the pa
tient with a feeling of numb
ness or prickling sensations
Most, however. prefer this to
the original pain.
Cure by injection is often
only temporary. The hot water
kills part of the nerve but the
rest manages to survive and a
couple Of years later the pain
may return. Among the elder
ly. this is the best treatment
sometimes because of the pos
sibility some may not be able
to survive open brain surgery.
And this is often used to see
how the patient will react to
numbneSs before the surgeon
decides to sever the nerve, an
irrevocable procedure.
An advantage Of the iniec-
ton is that it can be done on
an outpatient basis. And it
can be done without anesthesia.
Actually. some neurosurgeons
often prefer no a nesthesia-
not even local-so they can
test for pain to see If the in
lection is working.
