MANASSAS, Va, April 49,
An incorporated town whose
history dates to the early days
of the Commonwealth has been
discovered, full blown, in BOOM
ing Prince William County.
The town is Dumfries, long
ago a rich tobacco port, which
has been governed exclusively
by the Board Of County Super

one is sure of.
The historical find was made
public yesterday when seven
men filed as unopposed candi-
dates for mayor and town
council.
The discovery was made by
F. Caldwell Bagley and ]. Carl
Hill, two Dumfries attorneys.
Mr.. Bagley saw a squib in q
weekly paper noting that Dum-

interested and decided to check.

Maryland police said a Clin-

patrol cars last night, led them
on a 100-mile-an-hour chase
and then hit another patrol car
before she was stopped.
State Trooper B. o. Hobbs

condition in her car alongside
Route 5 in Prince Georges
about 11:45 pm.
After calling Trooper Robert
Edgel to the scene, he decided
she was in no condition to drive
and put her in his car, No. 1913.
While the troopers were taking
her personal belongings out of
her car, they said she drove
away in 1913.
Police said she proceeded on

Kenilworth avenue NE. and
then out the Washington-Balti-

Foreign Minister Andrei Gro

United States officials said

Officials here believe there
are two possible explanations
for the Soviet delay:
/. That a deliberate Stalling
operation is under way to allow
the Communicated Pathet Lao
forces to consolidate and even
expand their position in Laos.

Vote Pressed
On School Aid
Powell Predicts
House Approval
By DAVID s. BRODER
Star Staff Writer


Backers of Federal aid to
education, more confident now
than they have been at any
time this year, have decided to
press for early action on Pres
ident Kennedy's bills to bolster
the Nations schools.
Chairman Powell of the
House Education and Labor
Committee, with the backing
of the White House and the
House leadership, has set a
time table that will bring the
two main measures to a floor
vote by the first week in May.
Mr.. Powell told a press con-
ference yesterday he was pos
tive" the House will approve
the most controversial part of
the program - grants to the
States for primary and sec
ondary education-the week of
May /.
A companion measure to aid
higher education is scheduled
for consideration-and probably
easy passage - the week of
April "a, the same time the
Senate is scheduled to take up
and pass the elementary and
secondary school bill.
The scarcely concealed pur-
pose of the speedup is to turn
public concern at Soviet space
achievements into an argument
for a large-scale infusion of
Federal funds into the school
system.
The outlook for the primary
and secondary school bill in the
House has been very dark. A

preston or die in the attempt.

MOSCOW, April Is (AP).-
Mai. Yuri A. Gagarin held his
first news conference today
and lodged the questions of
the world press almost as art
fully as he orbited the earth.
Nothing he said helped to clear
up questions which have arisen
about his space flight Wednes-
day.
Hundreds of reporters and
photographers. plus all the Am
bassadors assigned to Moscow,
crowded into the green and
white Stucco' House of Sciences
to hear the worlds first sue
cessful astronaut tell of his
108-minute flight in outer
space. The hall. seating 1000,
was full.
Maj. Gagarin did not answer
questions directly from the floor
during the two-hour. televised
conference. He read a pre-
pared statement and then made
his replies to a series of writ
ten questions he said had been
handed UP in advance.
With a confident smile on
his lips, he managed to turn
aside all requests for specific
information about the landing
and the space ship itself.
Replies Bring Applause
Every time Maj. Gagarin
turned aside one of these uues-
tionS, his reply was greeted by
laughter and applause from the
hundreds of newsmen-most of
them CommuniSt-packed into
the auditorium.
There have been suggestions
IN Russian reports that the 27-
year-old aStronaut left his space
capsule in the air at the end of
the flight and came to earth by
parachute. Mai. Gagarin
opened the question period by
saying many inquiries had been
received about his descent and
return to the earth. With an
adroitness worthy of a poll
tician, he Jumped them to-
gether and gave his answer:
Many techniques for landing
have been developed in our
country. One is the parachute
technique. On this flight we
employed the following: The
pilot was in the cabin, the land
ing proceeded successfully and
demonstrated the success of all
systems developed for this
flight"
Won't Say More
That was all he would say on
the subject and did nothing to
clarity a statement yesterday
by Russian scientist that Maj.
Gagarin "came down smoothly
in a glade near a field, landing
on both feet. even without
tumbling."
AS for the fate of his vehicle,
Maj. Gagarin would only say:
"The entire space ship and its
part can be used again"
