Motorists using Canal road
NV. as a speedy entrance to
the heart of the city may
never forget the time this sum-
mer when the road became
one-way but the traffic didn't.
It was what the child expert,
DR.. Spock, might call a trau-
matte experience, if it hap
pened to kids.
1t sure undermined the mo-
florists confidence that other
motorists would see and obey
signs. It shook the District De-
partment of Highways and
Traffic officials, too.
The signs went up the
roadside arrows that said

nue. to Foxhall road NV.
would be one-way during the
morning rush.
But enough outbound mo-
florists failed to zee or obey the
signs to cause havoc many a
summer morn.
Motorists pouring from Vir-
GINA via Chain bridge sudden

road that was speedier and

traffic flowed beautifully.

The Canal road trauma, how

partment of Highways decided
to do something about the

Most of Canal road was and

tenn, motorists going into town
had only one of these lanes.

Butler Asks Vote
For Service Wife
BY the Associated Press

Senator Butler, Republican
Of Maryland, has asked Mary
land Attorney General Thomas
Finan to seek to amend the
States absentee voting regu-
lations to allow dependents OF
servicemen stationed outside
Maryland to take part in cleo
tions.
Senator Butler said he sent
Mr.. Finan a letter reporting
that he had received complaints
from constituents stationed
overseas about their being de-
MED a chance to register anc
vote.
Senator Butler said Mary
lands present law requires that
in order to vote everyone but
servicemen must register in
person.

If you got stuck behind Aunt
Lindy'S Model A, you were
stuck. Period.
There we're few safe spots to
pass.
The biggest bottleneck was
at Arizona avenue.
The light there had to pro-
vide time to make left turns,
which by their nature block
practically all other traffic in
a T-shaped intersection.
The District Department of
Highways first tried to remedy
this by banning left turns from
Arizona into Canal road.

Bogus Money
Ring Arrests
Now Total 5

DANV1LLE, Va, Aug. rs
(AP) Two statesmen were ar
rested today and accused Of
passing counterfeit money in
connection with bogus money
ring uncovered last week end,
the Secret Service reported.
Secret Service Agent j. H,
Griffith said James N. Smart,
about 40, a former Danville
resident, was arrested in South
Charleston, w. Va, and Thomas
o. Rumley, 81, was picked up
in Reidsville, N. c.
Their arrests brought to five
the number Of men appre-
hended since existence of the
counterfeit money ring first
was disclosed a week ago today,
The latest arrests followed
the seizure here last night of
Charles Martin Rogers, 38, for
mer automobile salesman, on
charges of conspiracy.
Federal agents so far have
recovered nearly 100000 in
counterfeit bills-$250,000 of
them in a raid here last week
end on the home of Norris Leon
Pete" CLANCY.
CLANCY, formerly connected
with a Danville weekly news
paper, was picked up last Sat,
urday in Washington anc
charged with possession Of
nearly 100000 in bogus money
Besides the money, Fedora
agents said they located plates
for printing it in the raid or
his home.
Chaney's arrest followed that
the night before of Fred Lean
der Waddell, who was picked
up at the Shenandoah Downs
race track near Charles Town
w. Va, on charges of passing
counterfeit $40 bills.
Federal agents found a key
to a Washington hotel room ir

This solution meant that
VirginianS would have almost
exclusive rights to the District
road because District residents
couldn't make the left toward
town.
The Department of High
ways, prompted by District
motorists, soon came to the
conclusion that this solution
was a bit unfair.
Then came the second solu-
tion-one-way rush hour traf-
fic from 7 to $50 am.
This meant left-turners from
Arizona avenue could swing

freeloaders and cheaters, as
well as to the needy. In the
same hearings, Welfare Direc-
tor Gerard Shea proposed a
$4,000 investigation of free
leaders.
Mr.. Seeman, who had been
asked on WTOP-TV's City
Side program whether CHS
elers were getting relief funds,
said he was confident also that
private charity funds are not
being doled out to cheaters.
Asked why welfare costs are
increasing here, Mr.. Seeman
said that one factor is the
growth of the child population.
He said that approximately
$4,000 here who receive public
assistance, about 10000 are
children.
Another factor, he said, is
the increase in family break
downs, which leave a mother
and children without means of
support.
Sees MaIadjustment
We've got to find the
answer to why family break
downs are increasing" said Mr..
Seeman. He said one aspect of
the problem is that many of
the Negroes who migrate to
Washington from rural areas
find it difficult to adjust to
city life.
Mr.. Seeman said part of the
long-range answer to cutting
the welfare load is to provide
better job opportunities and
training for Negroes.
Commissioner Duncan made
his comments during his first
appearance last night on Radio
Station WWDC's Report to
the People.
After the program, Mr.. Dun
can indicated to reporters that
he might prefer that references
to race be removed from Dis
trict public assistance forms.
But the Commissioner did not
say he planned to push for
such a change.

author of the bill.
So far, no opposition has de-

| In a report on the bill, the
House District Committee de-
scribed the existing fish aquar-

1t estimated some 3 million
visitors a year would visit a
new aquarium-"in reality a

( AS described by Mr.. Kirwan,
the aquarium would include
displays of large fresh-water
fish such as catfish, sturgeon
and paddle fish, and the
sharks, rays, porpoises of our
coastal waters"
The aquarium, if approved
probably will be located on the
waterfront to permit the trans
fer of large fish specimens di-
rectly from boat to tank with

that an individual who retireS
on a pension would have I'M

efitS reduced by the amount Of

Small Claims-The bill would
increase the jurisdiction of the
Small Claims branch of Num-
cipal Court by raising the juris-
diCtional amount of claims
handled by the branch from
$50 to $3.50. The $50 limit has
been in effect for the last 20
years and the case load of the

steadily for the last 10 years.

which authorizes the Baltimore

grants, his organization still
will be able to teach the coun-
tvs 1,40O white pupils as
planned, at least during the
coming school year.
Reserves Cited
He reported that the founda-
ton directors have devised
several alternate plans of fl
nancing" which he would not
detail, but which he asserted
will be successful.
He also noted that the foun-
dalton has financial reserves"
which can be used for scholar
ships for children whose fam
lilies are too poor to pay the
$3.50 tuition charged for the
private classes.
Supervisor Steck said he I'M
derstood that the foundation
has received offers of assist
ance from throughout the Ma
ton.
THE people will have to dig
a little deeper to keep the pri-
vate schools open, but they'll
do it," Mr.. jenkins said.
Negroes Disagree
In another development, a
disagreement arose between the
Virginia director of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
and the local Negro spokesman.
Robert D. Robertson, NAACP
leader in Richmond, disclosed
that if Prince Edward by any
chance chooses to reopen pub
| lie schools, he will urge Negroes
not to attend them unless white
pupils also enroll.
However, the Rev. L. F. Crit
fin, the leader here, said that
so long as public schools are
reopened on a legally desegre-
gated basis, Negroes could not
insist that white children be
compelled to attend them.
Both Mr.. Steck and Mr.. Jen-
kins expressed concern about
the plight of the. Negro chill
dren, who, except for those
who have left the county, are
receiving no formal education.
Noting that the Negroes, up
on the advice of the NAACP,
have refused to accept tuition
grants or to join in efforts to
establish private schools for
colored pupils, Mr.. Jenkins
said Prince Edward County is
just as concerned about the
Negro children as about the
white children.

here and we like to help them.

there are not many chiselerS on
the Districts welfare rolls.
Mr.. Seeman said that while a
few ineligible people may re-
ceive welfare benefits briefly
every effort is being made to
insure that only those who are
eligible receive payments"
He added that the eligibility
requirements for welfare assist
tance are very rigid" and that

all cases and quickly cut off
funds to any unqualified re-

ity to see that what they are

Morse Seeks
$5MiIIion for
DC. Schools

Senator Morse, the unpre-
dictable Democrat from Ore
gon, apparently has come up
with a SIS million annual as
sist for the District.
1t was largely the Senator's
opposition to a sales tax last
year which placed the District
in the uncertain-if not shaky
financial position it is in
today. His threat of a fill
buster in the closing days of
the last session prevented a
SO million sales tax from COM
ing to a vote in the Senate.
But Friday, while still OPP
posing the sales tax, he pro-
duced a most unusual amend
ment to a tax bill, accepted by
the Senate, which places the
District in a position to be-
come eligible for Federal funds
to So-called "impacted areas"
Amount Due Uncertain
Senator Morse, after con-
sulting with officials of the
Department of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare, said adding
the District to the program
along with the SO States would
give District schools SIS million
annually.
Local officials are still I'M
certain exactly how much the
District would receive under
the program - should the
House accept the amendment
in conference.
The District was never in
cluded in the program, one
source said, because Of the
Federal payment it receives.
Chairman Bible of the Ser
ate District Committee, dur
ing debate or the tax bill Fri
day, was worried that if the
District were taken into the
program the Federal payment
would be reduced.
Sees District Eligible
But Senator Morse assured
him it would not be threatened
after reading a memorandum
from HEW officials.
The memorandum stated
that a review of the Federal
payment history leads to the
conclusion that any amount of
Federal payment that may be
allocated to current operating
expenses of schools, on any
proportionate basis or other
wise, would not be deductible
from the gross entitlemert
computed for the District" un-
der terms of the Unprecedented
aid program.

classes Tor white pupils here
segregationistS throughout the
South for money.
With these developments,
most of the 1900 Negro chill
dren here seemed confronted
with their third consecutive
year of no formal education.
There has been some Specu-
lation that a ruling issued
Thursday by Federal Judge
Oren Lewis in Richmond might
persuade Prince Edward to
open at least enough public
schools to accommodate the
Negroes.
Judge Lewis decreed that the
State and local tuition grants
which largely have been fl
nancing the private classes for
white children are illegal so
long as the county refuses to
maintain public school system.
However, should the county
again offer public education
which presumably few but Neg
roes would accept, the individ-
ual grants of $225 to $3.50 ap-
parently still could be used to
finance private schools.
Thus the Negroes would BIZ
educated in the public schools;
most white students would re-
main in separate private classes
and virtual segregation would
be preserved in the county
which has been waging a 7-yeal
fight against indignation.
Sentiment Held Unchanged
But Supervisor Hugh M. Jen-
kinS said today:
"At the moment, would say
that the people want to keer
everything just like it is" He
said no one had suggested tt

schools.
1.-THE board feels that this is

Doubt Legality
Both supervisors also ex-
pressed doubt that the board

legally could allocate money to
operate public schools, even il
it decided to reopen them on a
token basis so that white chill
dren could pick up approx
mately 100000 in tuition
