segregated by the Federal
courts.
In Warren County, a large
scale high school operation has

SOB tuition grants for high
school students.
Another large scale private
operation in Charlottesville has
brought the States share in
grants to $46,462 for 266 ele-
mentary and 403 high school
students.
Fairfax Figure Not Included
Mr.. Blount's report did not
include figures for Fairfax

McNomoro Is Pleased
By Minuteinon Missile

and Navy Polaris missiles, gave
this estimate:
Minuteman, 100000; Atlas
and Titan each 81, 100000; Po-
lariS $1,100, 900.
Mr.. Mcnamara declined to
estimate costs, but he said
e. . it isn't a question Of how
much it costs. 1t is a question
Of the benefit in relation to
the other alternatives, and the
benefit-cost ratio of the min
uteman in relation to other
Alternatives is high. The net
advantage, I should say, is
high"
The cost estimates for the
four missiles did not include
other costs Of development,
bases, submarines, aiming
systems. .check-out equipment
silos. railroad trains and other
items.
Each estimate was based on
testimony previously given con-
gressional committees.
Ranges Are Different
The Minuteman Is smaller
and shorter ranged than the
liquid fueled Atlas and Titan,
both planned for ranges of up
to 5000 miles. The Polaris,
also a solid-fuel rocket, pres
emily has a range of 1900
miles and its future range is
expected to be more than dou-
BILE that.
The Polaris can be fired
from a submarine while still
submerged. 1t has great mo-
bility and can be fired from
a fleet of submarines and mis-
sile ships scattered around the
world.
The Minuteman is expected
to be used both from hard
ened underground silos and
from railroad cars which may
be dispersed about the Nation.

RICHMOND, Feb. 4.-Nearly
5000 tuition grants totaling
more than $350,00O have been
paid out by the State Board of
Education under Virginia's
freedom of choice" school
program.
The figures were submitted
to the State Board of Educa-
ton yesterday in an incomplete
report from j. G. Blount, jr.,
fiscal director.
So far this year, $15,117 has
been paid out to educate 139
students in elementary schools
and 88 in high schools in
Arlington.
Under Virginia's program to
prevent inforced attendance
at integrated public schools,
the grants are available to any
child attending private nom
Secterian school or a public
school in a community other
than the one in which he lives.
The State provides $l25 for
each elementary school child
and $3.50 for each high school
student eligible for the grants.
These amounts are matched
by the community.
Some Local Funds Refused
Some communities have re-
fused to appropriate funds to
match State grants. In such
cases the State pays the full
amount and deducts the local
share from State revenues that
otherwise would go to the COM
munity.
In Prince Edward County,
for example, the State made
direct payments to parents
totaling $87,773 for 848 ele-
mentary and 465 high school
students. nearly all of whom
are attending a private school
there.
Public schools In Prince Ed

Two youths
Arrested in
Gas Stution

Two Hyattsville teen-agers
were arrested inside a closed
gas station in Takoma Park
early yesterday, less than an
hour after suspicious police
jotted down their auto tag
number.
Found hiding under a truck
were Robert L. Hamilton, 19,
of the 1000 block of Ritten-
house street, and a l7-year-old
youth, police reported. Leading
up to their arrest. Takoma
Park Police Pvts. Thomas Tho
rowgood and Volly Stafford
had noted the tag number Of a
car they saw while spot-check-
ing stores near Erie and Flower
avenues about 1920 am.
Then, 20 minutes later, q
man came to the Takoma Park
police station and reported four
hubcaps stolen from his parked
car in the TOO block Of Erie
avenue. He gave police a de-
scription of a car he saw con-
tanning two boys. It matched
that seen by the policemen,
who put out q lookout for the
car.
Prince Georges County Po-
lice Pvt. Joseph Brown spotted
the car at about 1:25 am,
parked in front of a gas sta
ton at New Hampshire avenue
and Sligo Creek parkway.
Inside the station, police said
they discovered the boys and
found that efforts had been
made to remove a cash register
containing more than 500. =:
The older youth was held
under $4,000 bond pending q
hearing in Hyattsville Police
Court Monday on charges Of
housebreaking. grand larceny,

was held on the same charges

Puzzle Here
BY the Associated Press

United States officials today
were puzzled over Moscow's
failure so far to answer Presi-
dent Kennedy's request for
postponement Of the Geneva
atomic test ban talks.
Mr.. Kennedy. who wants to
pause and review the disarma-
ment scene before charting his
new administrators course,
asked the Russians for a delay
as one Of his early official acts.
He announced it at his first
news conference January Is.
The Geneva parley, which
has been going on since Mo-
vember, 1858, has been in re-
cess since December 5. It was
scheduled to resume next Tues
day. Mr.. Kennedy asked for q
postponement until March 81.
The third atomic power, Brit
ain, quickly agreed to Mr..
Kennedy's request.
One theory here for the So
Wet delay is that the Russians
regard the Kennedy request as
such q minor matter that they
just have not bothered to
answer.
Another speculation is that
the Reds may have some sur
prise response to spring on the
Western powers Tuesday.
The general impression here
is that the Russians will agree
to some sort Of delay. whether
or not they couple this with
some other demand. Moscow
news media quickly indicated
after Mr.. Kennedy's announces
ment that the Reds would go
along with a postponement.

!. F. A. Galleries

The exhibition of paintings
by Joan Erbe at the IF.A.
Galleries reveals still anoth-
er possibility Of the artists
freedom to paint something
besides paint. Miss Erbe
paints q chilling cast of
characters recalling those Of
Charles Addams and occa-
sionally the face of Alfred
E. Newman. Her general ends
Of quiet horror are also
shared by Balthus and her
means, especially the way she
distorts figures, are derived
from Jack Levine.
Yet the result Is her own.
Heads are flattened or in
flated. figures made sacky,
arms and legs totally inef-
fective. Her people stand or
sit in the light fog of her
painting and seem mesmer-
lied by the futility of life.
Symbolic overtoneS break
through without ever precise
ly defining what Is being
symbolized. Close examina-
ton reveals ordinary circum-
stances, yet the treatment
suggests rare occasions. Thus,
Royal Ride" is merely a pair
Of girls on the merry-go-
round, but they suggest all
kinds Of discreet decadence.

Veerhoff Galleries

The show of paintings of
Georgetown by Caroline van
H. Bean at Veerhoff Gal
leries proves that it is still
possible to do scene painting
Of quaint scenes and come
up with good stuff. Miss Bean
is not very strong with the
people she pops into streets
or alleys; her proportions are
sometimes alarming. And she
vigorously avoids the livelier
aspects of her chosen field
along Wisconsin avenue and
M street. But for the quiet,
residential streets, for the
hidden gardens, for the
charming alleys, she's a whiz.
The paintings are a kind of
personal ImpressioniSm hung
on sound architectural draw
ing. The light, at all seasons,
is beguiling, and you'd swear
the motor car had yet to be
invented. Miss Bean studied
with Chase, but the sugges-
tion is of Hassam. especially
in those superb twilights on
Boston Common and WASH

If one place in town should

Perez is Mexican in origin

Germ Of that country's best

painting, four figures, vari-
ously coStumed and all
armed, sprawl in a kind of
mutual isolation atop what
seems to be the globe itself.
In another, two men
find themselves completely
wrapped up by one of the
larger constructor snakes.
This sounds like political
cartooning but the painting
itself is often very lively.
Top piece in the show is a
small oil of a pregnant wom-

Gotta. animal sculture by

tercolors are all reasonably
competent examples of the
kind of thing that is done
so nicely in watercolor, sea
and shore in mist with occa-
sional gulls. The tip-off is
that white is brushed on,
and necessarily rather thick
ly, rather than left bare in
the paper. This ruins the to-
tai watercolor magic, but
does not destroy the effect
for anyone seeking an image
of sea and shore in the mist
with an occasional gull. The
animal sculpture is unfortu-
nately very cute indeed,
tricked out in extraneous ma
terials that obscure any pos
