The diplomatic immunity of
Ronald A. G. Clark, a first sec
retary of the British Embassy,
cannot save him from a $1.62
late penalty charge on a Dis
trict government water-sewer
bill.
This was today's message in
the area of international af-
fairs from the District Build
ing.
1t came in a 1,500-word opin-
ion from the Corporation Coun-
sells office on some of the fine
points of diplomatic immunity.
The opinion, submitted to the
Commissioners, said, in effect,
that the cloak of diplomatic
immunity does not stretch to a
municipal late payment pen
atty for a service charge.
Mr.. Clark, of 3116 Woodley
road NV, had sent the $1.62
payment to the District under
protest. In a letter to city Of
ficials, Mr.. Clark said:
MY contention is that a fl
nancial penalty may not be i'm

Shea Proposes
Aid for Youths

School Dropouts
BY BETTY MILES
Star staff Writer

Relief grants would no longer
be cut off to youths who drop
out of school under a proposed
change in District welfare
rules.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea will strongly recon-
mend" this revision to the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Another proposed change
would allow children on relief
to save money they earn for
present as well as future edu-
cation, medical and employ
ment expenses without having
this amount deducted from the
relief grant.
Mr.. Shea said the proposals
were stimulated by administra-
tive changes in relief rules for
Federal-State matching pro-
grams, spelled out Monday by
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Ribicoff.
Sinking Morale
He noted that Mr.. Ribicofi
stressed the Importance oi

ate to the value of the public
function it performs"
Such aid, the NCWC study
said, may take the form of
matching grants, long term
loans, scholarships, tuition pay
ments or tax benefits.
William r. ConSedine, direc-
tor of the NCWC legal depart
ment, said the study's conclu-
sionS contradict the findings
of Federal Government attor-
neys that across-the- board aid
to parochial schools is uncon-
stitutional.
Brief Used by Kennedy
That stand was taken in a
legal brief submitted by the
Department of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare to Congress
last spring.
President Kennedy relied on
this finding in urging Congress
to limit Federal school aid to
public schools. His proposal
was defeated in the House OF
Representatives in a contro-
versy over inclusion of paro-
chial schools in the proposed
Federal school aid plan.
Mr.. Consedine said that the
NCWC study differed with the
HEW brief chiefly in holding
that the fusion of secular and
religious instruction in church
related schools" does not rule
out the possibility of Federal
aid to those schools.
He said, there is no bar tc

For Kotongo Cease Fire

Belgian Foreign Minister
Paul Henri Spaak told news
men his government is working
together with the French and

The NATO Council discussed
defense problems in an atmos-

The United States Govern

by a streamliner passenger
train in Northern Colorado to-
day and at least 20 persons
were killed.

20 bodies were taken to a tenn
porary morgue in Greeley. Ap-
parently all of the dead were
children.
A number Of children were
taken to a Greely hospital.
The number of injured was not
determined Immediately.
Coroner Adamson said he
was told there were 80 children
on the bus.
Bus Driver Escapes
Sheriff's officers said the
driver of the bus apparently
escaped serious injury and was
taken to the sheriff's office for
questioning. He was identified
as Duane Harms.
Officers told the Greeley
Tribune they decided to give the
bus driver shelter in jail for his
own protection. Later, the
State highway patrol declined
to discuss this angle, but said
the driver was not being held
officially and no charges had
been filed.
No one aboard the train, a
Union Pacific Railroad stream
liner, the City of Denver, was
hurt. The train was travelling
westward from Chicago toward
Denver.
The bus was struck at a cross
ing 2 miles east of Evans, just
south of Greeley.

Bodies of children were scat
tered for 1000 yards. School
books, homework papers. bus
seats. clothing and other
articles were sent in all direc-
tions.

The crossing is marked by a
sign but has no flashing lights
to signal the approach of a.
train, an official said.
The bus, travelling northwest,
en- route to school and picking
up children on the way. ap-
parently drove into the diagonal
crossing Just as the train ap-
preached.
The train struck the bus at
its rear end and knocked it
about 100 yards.
The scene at the crossing
after the crash was one of
tragedy and hysteria.
Parents Rush to Scene
Mothers and fathers of school
children all over the area
rushed to the crossing. A num-
ber were accompanied by chill
dren too young to attend
school.
A mother whose children were
waiting to be picked up was
Mrs. Henry Kaufman. She said
she was looking out the window
when she saw the bus approach
the crossing. 1t stopped, she
said, then pulled onto the cross

u. S. Subsidy
Requested
ByKennedy
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star Staff Writer

Quar- 6ldll WrlLer
President Kennedy will ask
Congress for $700 million next
month to help pay for a long
range shelter and war recovery
program, Deputy Defense Sec
retary Roswell L. Gilpatric said
today.
In its first year, he said, the
program would grant funds to
aid in establishing community
shelters with space for 20 mil
lion persons.
Most of these group shelters
would be in schools, hospitals
and similar community facili-
ties.
THE precise details Of the
program" Mr.. Gilpatric told a
press conference, will be
spelled out in the Presidents
budget message in January.
The total civil defense budget /:
request will be in the neighbour
hood of $700 million"
Now $207 Million
The Pentagon budget for civil
defense in the current fiscal
year is $207 million.
Mr.. Gilpatric, discussing the
broad outlines of the program,
said the administration will
propose a Federal subsidy for
community shelter construc-
tion. Federal advice on home
shelters and Federal leadership
in training and organizing pro-
lection programs.
Actual operation of the pro-
gram would be under State and
local control.
"The proposed program" Mr..
Gilpatric said, would provide
Federal grants of something
less than actual cost for every
shelter space meeting approved
standards and created by pub
lie or private nonprofit institu-
tions, engaged in health. edu-
cation or welfare activities"
Dual Purpose Seen
"A substantial number Of
these shelters will undoubtedly
be dual purpose, serving a USE
full community purpose in addi-
ton to offering protection from
radioactive fallout.
"The Federal Shelter Incen-
tive Program is planned to
support the construction Of
some 20 million shelter spaces
in the next fiscal year (starI~
ing next July u"
MIR. Gllpatrlc said each COM
munity shelter probably would
cost about $40 per person and
would hold a minimum of SO
persons. The Federal Govern
ment would pay about $25 per
person.
He said that If this country
maintains a strong defense it
would be only through mis-
calculation. accident or some
other irrational act that this
country would be struck in q
thermonuclear attack"
There is no war situation
facing this country that 1t
could not recover from, he
said.
Definition Undecided
Asked if public parking lots
or convention halls would
qualify for a subsidy If they
built shelter space, Mr.. Gill
patric said the exact defini-
ton of a public welfare insti-
tuition had not been decided,
but that he doubted if parking
lots would qualify.
Another Pentagon spokesman
said in answer to questions
that no Federal funds would be
provided for racially segregated
community shelters.
A Pentagon statement dis
tributed at the press confer
ence stated that "our major
protection against a thermo-
nuclear attack is the deterrent
effect of our nuclear striking
force.

up. and East wins with the
ace. East should read South
for the two missing aces and
the king of trumps. This leaves
just about nothing for West,
so East must try to defeat the
contract singlehanded.
There is no problem about
getting two heart tricks and
the ace Of trumps, but these
tricks are not enough to de-
feat the contract. East must
aim for q third heart trick,
and he cannot get this with
out taking trumps out Of the
dummy.
Cannot Lead Ace
East cannot afford to lead
out the ace Of trumps and then
a low trump. South would be
delighted to draw 6. third round
of trumpS and then run the
diamonds. Dummy's long suit
is sure to provide enough dis
cards as soon as declarer has
managed to draw trumps.
East must begin the trumps
by undertaking the ace. That
is. at the second trick East
leads his low trump.
If declarer leads another
trump or q heart, East takes
the ace of trumps and a total
of three heart tricks. If South
tries to run the diamonds be-
fore drawing trumps. West can
ruff the third diamond; and
then the defenders will still
get two hearts and the ace
Of trumps.
The important point Is that
East must keep control Of the
nand with MS ace OF CrumpS.
The way to draw trumps and
keep control is to lead q low
trump first.

268, 1000 Employers Cheat
Workers and Uncle Sam
On Withholding Taxes

WASHINGTON, D. C. - (AFL-
CIO) - Cheating employers deduct
ed $236,843, 900 from employees
wages for withholding taxes in 1860
and failed to turn the funds over to
the federal government, according to
Sen. John Williams (R-Del.). Col
lecting and failing to turn withhold
ing taxes over to the Treasury is pun
ishable by Jail sentences of up to
one year and by fines of up to $4,000,
or both. There have been only 9
criminal convictions of indictments
under the law although Williams says
268, 1896 employers are liable for such
punishment.
"This money which is held from the
pay envelopes of the employees should
under no circumstances be considered
by the employer as his own funds
nor should it be diverted to his own
personal use," Williams declares.
"There can be no excuse for the di-
version of these funds to the en-
ployer's personal use :. The alarm
ing manner in which employer tax
delinquencies have increased IN GER
tain districts cannot be overlooked"
