bach in the Colorado Building,

adopted as infants.
He told the Associated Press
that he believed Mr.. Dresbach
had represented one of the
boys parents in a divorce ac-
ton and had been asked to
handle the details of putting

skiing.
Friends described Wayne as
q likeable boy. not aggressive.
interested in sports. He was o
member Of the school wrestling
team and went out for football
in the fall but his grades kept
him of the team. One friend
said that both Wayne and his
younger brother liked girls but
were not able to date very
much because Of parental re-
strictions.

at a gas station two miles south
Of Annapolis, and about Is
miles. from the Dresbach home
At the time Of Wayne's capture
he had with him two school
mates whom he had picked UP
after the shooting.
Capt. Hagner said a 90 rife
with five live shells in it was
found under the front seat OF
the car.
ScOlded for Lateness
He gave this summary OF
Wayne's statement to him:
Wayne got home after II
pm. from a basketball game
Friday night and was "bawled
out" by both his parents for
returning late. After the ar
gument. he went to sleep.
About 8 am. yesterday, he
was in the living room of the
family home when his father,
in pajamaS. entered from the
bedroom on his way to the
kitchen. He shot his father
several times in the back.
AS Mr.. Dresbach fell into the
kitchen. Mrs. Dresbach came to
the door of the bedroom to find
out what had happened. When
she saw her son with the gun,
she tried to fee to the bed
room but was felled by several
shots in the back. Police said
about 10 shell castings were
found in the house. an indica- =
ton Of how many shots were
fired.
Capt. Hagner said the boy
gave no motive for the shoot
ing other than the reference
to the reprimand on the pre-
vious evening.
Lee Strikes Brother
He described Wayne as "out-
wardly calm but inwardly he's
rather shook up. He's very pale
and perspiring and was perspir-
ing most Of the time we talked
to him"
The detective captain said
Lee told him that he was in the
kitchen when he saw his IA
ther shot. Lee. he said, told him
he ran out of the kitchen and
struck at his brother and Their
fled upstairs. He did not see
his mother shot.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Dresbach
own 1858 ChrySlers. Wayne,
who has no drivers license, took
his mothers car and drove to
Southern Junior-Senior High
School at Lothian. where he is
a ninth grade student. He saw
his two friends walking near the
school and offered them a ride.
The boys said later that they
had no idea anything was
wrong as they drove around.
They stopped for soft drinks
and cupcakes and were eat

year-old. said Wayne told him
to switch seats with him when
he saw the policeman because
Wayne had no drivers license
and the older boy had one.
Otherwise, the boys said young
Dresbach appeared calm and
acted as though nothing had
happened.
Repeats Ninth Grade
Classmates said Wayne had
failed in school last year and
was repeating the ninth grade.
Their only intimation of any
thing wrong in the Dresbach
home, several Of them said,
was that Wayne had run away
from home several times and
had complained that his ia

Plan Challenged

In it's brief, Legal Defense Fund
attorneys contend that the right .tC
desegregated education is -"per
sonal'' right, therefore the rights
of children who do not come under
desegregation plan cannot be
abridged in favor of the plar
though it affords relief to other
Negro pupils.
Attacking the District Court arg
ument that admission of the Older
children would destroy the plan
the Legal Defense Fund brief Sug
gests that IF the court found il
necessary to formulate a rule fol
dealing with the possibility of large
numbers of future applicants for
exceptions, :. the court can deter.
mine on the basis of whether the
admission of the applicants WOulC
present valid administrative OBJ.
Estacles which necessitate further
delay in the public interests "
The brief claims, secondly, thai
the Boards transfer procedure is
unconstitutional, because it "ex
pressly recognizes race as an alb
solute ground for transfer between
schools.
"(P)roponents of the plan will
argue that correlative discrimi-
nations against white and Negroes
balance out This is a speciouS
argument. To hold that Negroes
are equally treated because of the
reciprocal racial discrimination a

Fourth Stanza

On Trial Period

In order that Delawareans
may become better acquainted
with the proposed additional or
alternate stanZa to "Our Della
ware" the Delaware State De-
velopment Department has re-
Gently had printed a revised edi-
ton of its Delaware placecard,
which includes the words for
the proposed fourth stanza as
well as the three stanzas and
chorus that officially comprise
Delaware's State Song.
The proposed new stanza,
which was the successful entry
of Dom Devine, Wilmington
public relations man, in a state
wide contest sponsored by a
special committee headed by
Floyd t. Hart, state director
of music education, extolls the
beauty and attractions of the
entire state. Previously, "Our
Delaware" has cons S ted of
three stanzas, each extolling the
virtues of a different county.
During the next year and a
half, Delaware school students
and members of various state
organizations will sing the fol-
lowing verse either as an addi-
ton to the other stanzas or as
a substitute for them:
From New Castles rolling
meadows,
Through the fair rich fields
of Kent,
To the Sussex shores hear
echoes
OF the pledge we now pre-
sent:
Liberty and independence
We will guard with loyal
care,
And hold fast to freedoms

In our home state, Della

additional stanza has received

mendation will be made to the

DIR. John Perkins
Warns of Women's
Future Education

Restrictions may be placed on
the education of women in the
future unless they become as
purposeful in their education
and subsequent careers as men,
DR.. John A. Perkins, president
of the University of Delaware
predicts in his annual report for
l959-60.
For two reasons our tax-bur-
dened society may challenge an
unchecked increase in the per-
centage of women enrolled" DR..
Perkins writes.
For one, the facilities of
higher education are almost sure
to be too limited for all the cap
able young people who will seek
accommodations in them. Some
further system of priorities in
admissions may be established.
Suggestions will likely be made
that academic ability be supple
mented by some consideration
of how long and in what direc-
tion that ability once educated
will serve the Nation. Young
women, unless the distaff side
takes a still larger and more
responsible role in the work
force than heretofore, will be
particularly vulnerable to this
criterion. 1t should, of course,
apply to young men as well as
to young women. But girls
seemingly are more vulnerable
because society under present
arrangements places a higher
value on the boys claim for
vocational sufficiency.
'For another, and ideally, fa-
cilities should be made available
for the education of all our able,
properly-motivated young peo-
pie, regardless of sex. In view
of the scientific and technolog-
ical world conflict, it is unwise
to do less. But the incentive for
society to so extend itself may
not be there unless women are
as purposeful in their education
and subsequent careers as are
men,"
The University of Delaware,
in DR.. Perkins words couldn't
be more interested" in the edu-
cation of women and has made
special efforts to encourage wo-
men students to work to their
highest vocational potential. In
the last year, the speaker for
Honors' Day convocation was an
outstanding woman oceanogra-
pher and a committee of women
faculty members and students
has been appointed to discuss
means of making the university
hospitable and in spring 6 to
young women with a true in
terest in scientific and profes-
sional careers.
