Forty-eight youngsters of
junior high school age will take
part in Montgomery County's
first experiment with a "live
in" summer school for two
weeks, beginning July II.
The children will board at
Monocacy Elementary School,
near Dickerson, with a profess
sional staff of eight including
teachers, a nurse and a dieti-
clan.
Courses will be offered in
reading, mathematics, physical
education and science, with
some art and music. Glass time
will be supplemented by field
trips either by bus or on foot
to make full use of upper
Montgomery County's oppor-
tunities for outdoor study.
Over 100 Apply
The 48 who will be housed in
improviSed dormitories at the
new school building were
chosen on a first-come, first
served basis among over 100
applicants. Although the sum-
mer school bulletin specified
that enrolment. would be lin
tied, there were many requests
from urban areas of the coun-
ty, which could not be fulfilled
this summer because of space
limitations.

Richmond Loses
Step in Race Suit

RICHMOND. July (AP).-
The city of Richmond lost a
preliminary round yesterday in
the court attack by a Negro
group on segregated seating at
the Mosque auditorium.
Judge M. Ray Doubles in
Hastings Court Part II over
ruled the city's argument that
no actual controversy exists.
Since there is no actual con-
flict, the suit should be dis
missed, the city had argued.
There is lowering over them
(the Negro plaintiffs) the
threat of enforcement of GRIM
inal law if they do or fail to
do certain things" Judge Dou-
bles said. Suits for declaratory
Judgment come in all different
types of controversies; this in
wolves the construction of con-
stitutional law"
A decision on the m a tier
may come in September, when
hearings will be scheduled on
the case.

County's
Water Stock

How much water remains
beneath the ground in Prince
Georges County will be deter
mined in a $4,000 study con-
Quoted by the United States
Geological survey.
The three-year study, ap-
proved last week, will give spe-
cial attention to four priority
areas-Forest Heights and Fort
Foote, Belair. Upper Marlboro,
and the Patuxent River flood
plane between Priest and Hill
bridges.
The county commissioners
and the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission together
will pay Is per cent of the cost,
with the balance to be covered
by the geological survey and
the Maryland Department OF
Geology, Mines and Water Re-
sources.
The Sanitary Commission
plans to use ground water to
serve residents east of the Po-
tomac River between the Dis
trict line and Piscataway creek,
Three wells now are operated
in that area by the WSSC, but
two test wells drilled last year

The survey will give special
attention to underground water
for public supply, industrial
and irrigation uses.
Similar studies are being
completed in Anne Arundel and

Motorists out for the July 4
holiday week end produced a
monumental traffic jam yeSter-
day along a 30-mile stretch of
United States Route 30l in
Maryland and Virginia.
Maryland State police said
that the jam extended from two
miles north of the Potomac
River Bridge at Morgantown to
Bowling Green, Va. Some
motorists were at a Standstill
for 40 minutes.
Sergt. Lawrence Thompson,
toll chief at the bridge, said
that the jam began about 4 am.
and continued until $50 pm.
1t was all in the southbound
lane.
Contributing to the jam was
the fact that U. S. Route 301
narrows from four lanes on the
Maryland side to two lanes in
Virginia, Sergt. Thompson said.

Reeves Case Seen
Home Rule Setback
Commissioners
Fear Some Will
Withhold Help

Developments that resulted in
the collapse of efforts to ap-
point Frank D. Reeves as the
Districts first Negro Commits
sioner have set back the drive
to win home rule for the city.
This opinion was expressed
yesterday by District Commits
sioners Walter N. Tobriner AMI
Robert E. Mclaughlin.
At Mr.. Reeves request, Pres
ident Kennedy last week with
drew his nomination of Mr..
Reeves for the post of Com
missioner. This action came af-
ter disclosures of tax liens
against Mr.. Reeves.
Some supporters of home rule
for Washington have commended
that some opposition is based on
racial factors.
Asked yesterday what impact
the Reeves case has had on the
home rule drive, Commissioner
Mclaughlin said:
II would say it certainly
| hasn't helped the chances of
home rule"
Mr.. Mclaughlin, outgoing
Republican Commissioner who
has been one of the strongest
home rule hackers, added that
it is likely some home rule
supporters now might hold
back :"
Mr.. Tobriner, president of the
Board of Commissioners, said
he agrees with Mr.. McLaugh-
Inns viewpoint.
Mr.. Tobriner said he is afraid
that in the public mind "Mr.
Reeves misfortune" will re
fleet rather generally on the
Negro group"
The White House has asked
the Commissioners to submit a
home rule bill for action dur
ing this session of Congress.
Speaking yesterday on WTOP-
TVS "City Side" program, Mr..
Tobriner said a draft home rule
bill now is being studied at the
White House.
A number of top District Of
ficials privately have said that
home rule is dead for another
year.
In a statement yesterday, Mr..
Reeves said he will continue
to press for home rule here.

weIfth Night Draws
Large Sylvan Crowd

speare, to disguise herself as a
young man..
Miss Methvin is no more con-
vincing as a boy than any other
Viola you ever saw land is in
fact less so than some). But
this has come to be part of the
fun of Twelfth Night" caus-
ing you to sit there doubling
the eyesight and-or sanity of
everybody else on stage. And
Miss Methvin. an eye-catching
blond, is convincing in all other
aspects of her performance.
The buffoonS, thanks to the
playwright's zest for them, are
the other crowd-pleasers, as the
fight announcers say, in this
Twelfth Night"
Praised for Role as Feste
Philip Graneto, a young man
who has trained in Catholic
UniverSity's speech and drama
department, does quite handily
by FeSte, the word-juggling
clown in the Countess Olivia's
retinue.
Tom Sulkie and Roger Bow
man give a couple of unre-
strained low-comedy perform
ances as Sir Toby Belch and
Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Jim
Bostain plays Malvolio strictly
for laughs and is generally sue
ceSsful.
Among the more restrained
recipients of audience approval
on opening night were Susan
Powers, who plays Olivia; Hugh
Taschereau, as the Duke of
Illyria, and John 10th, as that
twin brother of Viola's who
wasn't drowned after all.
This Twelfth Night" clearly
is a non-profesSional produc-
ton, in the playing especially.
But it is a genuine start to-
ward the Summer Shakespeare
Festival which Miss Chamber
lain is determined Washington
shall have. In that she can
take pride.

Holiday Crowds Heed for Beaches
As Heat Hits Years Peak of 90

This July Fourth holiday
week end is shaping up as the
hottest of the year.
The Weather Bureau re-
ported that yesterdays high OF
SO degreeS-the hottest since
last August 30-may be topped
by a reading of 95 this after
noon.
There is a chance of thun-
dershowers tomorrow although
it will remain quite hot. The
Fourth of July outlook is less
certain.
Washington area stay-at-
homes spent a quiet Saturday
in the backyard, if police re-
ports were any reflection OF
activity. Both Metropolitan
and Park police said traffic
was about normal for a Sat-
urday.
Officials at the American
Automobile Association said
traffic calls were light. At
National Airport travel did
not show any special rush.
Buses, Trains Filled
But buses and trains were
packing holiday fun-seekers,
off at a heavy pace most of
the day, officials reported.
At Union Station demands
for space on a Miami-bound
train surprised one official.
The train had to be sent
south in two sections. "It's
the first time we've had to
split that one in a long time, "
he said.
Apparently most of the
$4,000 persons the AAA said
would leave the District area
by car for the week end had
departed by last night.
Beaches Popular
Park Police said they found
fewer out-of-town cars in the
monumental and park areas
yesterday than had been ex-
pected. The visitors, however,
probably will pick up in time
for the big Fourth celebration

Cities
o"1 People
CircIing
The Square
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS

By ROBERT ]. LEWIS
CPARROWS, pigeons and
~ squirrels know more
about Washington parks
than any human being, even
Bernard Baruch.
We found this out the
other day.
We had made a special
trip downtown to get away
from all the relaxation in
volved in garden work.
1t was just an experiment,
but we learned something:
Bernard Baruch was right.
There's nothing like a
park bench to give surceaSe
to the troubled spirit.
We sat down on one in
Farragut Square, just on
impulse, and we learned Les
son No. l:
The first five minutes are
the toughest.
This is because you're not
in the mood for just sitting.
Let's see, you think, what'u
I do next?
Somewhere in your pocket,
you have a long list of mat
tiers to attend to.
Pick up some shirts.
Check on anniversary gift.
Three bags peat moss.
Nozzle for hose. Grass
shears. Long-handled trowel.
Etc.
You wonder how Bernard
Baruch ever got in the habit
OF sitting on park benches.
Sitting on a bench like
this must have been mighty
boring.
All you can do is look
around, and what is there to
see?
FOR ONE THING-you
finally realize-there's an
ever moving panoram ma
around the edges of the
square.
People are walking along
K street, I street, Connect
cut avenue and Seventeenth
street.
There's a lot of color there,
and activity.
Inside the square, a few
people are walking, too.
But those inside are walk
ing slower than those on the
sidewalks. Why?
Must be something about
this patch of green that
slows them up.
They don't seem to be in
quite so much of hurry.
Cars and buses are flowing
outside the square, too, but
you hardly hear them.
An occasional Streetcar
travels up and down the
west side.
Going north, they're silent.
Going south, they make a
clatter. There must be a rea-
son. Maybe it's because they
have to go uphill going
south.
It's rather peaceful here,
and quiet.
Across the way is an old
man with a beard.
He has some newspapers
scattered about, and he's
leaning to windward.
BY jove, he's asleep!
Then you begin to hear
birds chatter and cheep. And
the MISUNDERSTANDING of
the Tapping wings of a
pigeon swooping down.
Do a pigeons wings flap
when flying up to a tree
limb, or only when flying
down?
You watch and listen, and
then come to a tentative
conclusion:
Pigeons wings flap only
when they swoop down,
never when they zoom up.
Suddenly you have learned
Lesson No. 2: Only abstract
and seemingly useless mat
tiers are of major Importance
to Park Bench Sitters.
That's one of the things
that let them relax.
y Il
FROM THIS point on,
you have a new vantage
point and a new perspective.
You have begun to learn
a few of the secrets that
Bernard Baruch must have
found out long ago.

FROM THIS point on,
you have a new vantage
point and a new perspective.
You have begun to learn
a few of the secrets that
Bernard Baruch must have
found out long ago.
For one thing, pigeons
and sparrows get along quite
well together. You can say
that with certainty.
If you v,jl look to the left,
you will see an illustration of
this
A pigeon and a sparrow
are sitting on the drinking
fountain put there for
humans.
They are taking turns
gulping a drink.
AS you watch them, you
are struck by the contrast
in their size as they sit there.
Pigeons must be 10 times
as big as sparroWS.
It's not terribly important,
of course.
But what is, in a park?

Jungle Crisis: |!
 Are Tarzan and Mate Married?

LOS ANGELES n While
 Tarzan and Jane were living to- gether in that tree all those years,
 were they also living together In sin?
 Related ru1nors of such a jungle scandal are circulating In
 nearby Downey, where some of the restless natives may be trying ! to drum Tarzan books right out
 of their elementary school librar- l ies.
 Their suspicion: That there is
 nothing to indicate Tarzan and
 Jane were ever legally married. And, if this is the case, that chil-
 dren are being exposed to tales about an ape man who was up to a hstle monkey business when he whisked Jane over the thresh- old of his primitive penthouse and invited her to stick around
 for breakfast.
 The celebrated fictional hero
 created by the late Edgar Rice Burroughs has been through this sort of thing before. Once, in fact,
 he was in effect accused of being la dupe of the Communists. Hap | oily, 1t appears Tarzan's reputa- ton is as indestructible as Tarzan l himself.
 Supt. Bruce Moore of the Downey School District said the trouble started at the last School Board meeting. Board member Robert Ryan said he'd been told a librarian at one of the schools removed all the Tarzan books. lRyan's informant said there had
 been vicious gossip about Tarzan's I alleged inability to produce a ! marriage certificate. Sol Lesser, who produced many
 of the Tarzan movies, said the
 same objections were raised years fnGo.
 Finally spoke to Burroughs, :" lLesser added. afIe said: I would
 advise you to read my books. In
 one of my early books 1t was
 established that Jane's name was
 Jane Porter, that she was the
 daughter Of a minister in Balti-
 more, Md, and that the father
 went to the jungle and there mar
 ried Tarzan and Jane"

makeup and diet. But for reasons
which probably date back to pre-
historic times, most women guard
their hair as if their very lives
depended on it. Michele's lovely
shoulder-length brown hair had to
be cut in fUe separate sittings, and
she howled every inch of the way!
Why girls treasure each lock I
don't know. | do know that to be a
Ford Model, however, a girl must
have hair that does not touch her
shoulders, and must be convert
ble." 1t must lend itselfto dozens of
different Photographic situations.
For Michele, We decided on hav-
ing her hair cut blunt, or even, all
the way around, about two inches
below her ears. This hair-do made
it possible for her to wear her hair
in many ways, depending on the
demands of the Photographic stu
alton.
This, too, takes an investment of
time on the part of the would-be
model. She must learn how to "con-
vert" her hair herself. Michele
worked with hairdresser for many
weeks before she mastered the
tricks of teasing and re-arranging
her hair into the styles that would
be demanded Of her.
After what turned out to be two
months of intensive work, our
model-to-be, Michele Poujade, was
