The Arlington School Board
last night committed itself to
full and voluntary compliance
with the Supreme Courts de-
segregation decision.
1t did so by unanimously ap-
proving new attendance areas
and pupil placement criteria
which board members VOW will
be administered a bsolutely
without racial discrimination.
AS a consequence, Negroes
living in an area served by a
white school henceforth can
gain admittance to it simply
by requesting entry.
The new policy is without
precedent in Virginia.
During the last two years. As
Negroes have entered formerly
segregated schools in Arlington,
but the school board voluntari-
ly has admitted none.
Changes Optional
However, the board last night
in effect told some $50 Negro
children that they are free to
attend white schools near their
homes next fall if they wish.
There were no protests last
night.

DC. Permits

At Kunn's

The District Commissioners
have decided to permit S. Kann
& Sons department store to
floodlight its facade.
Acting on the advice of the
Federal Fine Arts Commission,
city licensing officials had rec
commended against issuing a
permit for installation Of the
lights.
Attorneys representing an
electrical firm that had applied
for the permit contended that
the Fine Arts Commission rec
ommendation was not based on
the merits of the floodlighting
request. Instead, the Commits
sioners were told, the Federal
advisory group had taken its
position because of a wholly
collateral matter-the fact that
the store, at Eighth street and
Market space NV, has not
finished the current exterior
sheathing project.
The Commissioners yesterday
decided to issue the permit, and
they said that the department
store doubtless would complete
the Sheathing work. Commits
sioner Walter N. Tobriner took
no position on the permit re-
quest because he had previous
ly represented the department
store in his private law prac-
tice.
The Fine Arts Commission
had made its recommendation
under authority of the Ship
Stead-Luce Act. This law is
designed to protect the appear
ance of private buildings that
face certain of the city's Fed
orally owned areas. The Dis
trict Commissioners are re-
quired to effect reasonable
compliance" with the Federal
agency's recommendations.

Tax Retained
On Personal
Property

Arlington residents definitely
will not have to pay higher
personal property taxes this
year.
The county board last night
precluded any possible increase
in this levy simply by refusing
to advertise one.
It did agree to advertise an
Scent raise in the real estate
rate, but stressed that it does
not expect 1t enacted.
The $18.2 million budget sub
mitted by County Manager A.
T. Lundberg requested a scent
boost in both rates.
The school boarG. although
its $15.3 million budget is
balanced, asked that on addi-
tional l7-cent increase be ad-
vertised so that extra tax
revenue can be obtained should
Congress slash Federal grants
to areas heavily populated by
Government employees.
Board Member Herbert Brown
said that he understands Con-
gress probably will not reduce
contributions to federally i'm
pacted areas by more than 1C
per cent, if at all.
= Other members expressed be-
lief that they can cut the budg-
cts enough to make any taX
increase unnecessary. They de-
cided to advertise the relatively
small one as a precaution
against the unlikely possibility
that they will be unable to
effect reduction, and also to
provide some insurance against
loss of Federal aid.

Arlington Schools Rule Out
Any Kind of Race Barrier,

the choice of remaining in ar
all-Negro school.
The other criteria, which
conformed to those promu-
lated by the State Board Of
Education, provide for indi-
vidual exceptions.
For instance, in accordance
with them, mentally retarded,
physically handicapped or ex-
tremely brilliant children, ir-
respective of their race, can be
sent to special classes in the
schools outside their normal
attendance areas. Boundaries
Of the all-Negro Drew-Kemper
Elementary School and the
Hoffman-Beston High School
are unchanged. Thus, the ap-
proximately TOO Negro children
who live in the vicinity of the
schools will continue to attend
them.
However, about 40 Negroes
will be eligible to enter the
current segregated Swanson
Junior High School and other
schools probobly will be inte-
grated for the first time.
This year all Virginia COM
munities received the option
of reaSsuming the authority to
determine where their students
go to school.
After Arlington chose to ex-
erciSe the option, it had to
formulate a policy consonant
with a series of Federal court
orders which have made ge-
ography the principal place
ment criterion remaining to it.

ChicogoC oCove-In Victim
Saved After 19 Hours

CHICAGO, Mar. II CAP).-
After a tense, inch-by-inch
struggle through perilously
hanging debris, rescuers today
plucked an injured workman
alive and conscious from the
twisted beams and rubble of
a collapsed building. He had
been trapped nearly 10 hours.
Nope was abandoned, how
ever, for two other men still
entombed under the debris of
the four-Story building which
caved in yesterday on a wreck
ing crew. Fourteen others were
injured, five seriously.
Working under spotlights in
bitter cold, firemen and civilian
wrecking engineers freed Will
liam Mccoy, 81, from the 18-
inch I-beam under which he
lay pinned. Their every move
threatened to bring down upon
them a landslide of bricks,
wood and steel.
Mr.. Mccoy, who remained
in good spirits throughout his
ordeal. was taken by ambulance
to the University of Illinois
Research Hospital. There, doc
tors said examination disclosed
only possible fracture of his
left leg, bruises and scrapes on
both legs, and froStbitten feet.
Mr.. Mccoy finally was freed
after a second huge crane was
brought into play. The two
cranes lifted the heavy beam
about 3 inches off his body,
then a fireman cut through a
2-inch steel pipe that still
pinned him.
He aided in his own rescue
by looping a steel cable dropped
from the crane around the
beam.
BE careful, my legs hurt"
he said as firemen lifted him
out of the rubble.
He waved to his wife, Paul
eta, 35, who had maintained a
hopeful vigil through the
night. She and Mr.. McCoy's
mother and an aunt accom-
panied him in the ambulance.
While rescuers inched their .
way toward him, Mccoy some
times smoked, other times
slipped coffee. His wife stood
nearby with a few spectators. /.
Twenty-eight mer were in
the building when it buckled
inward about $50 am. All
the workers were Negroes. Rob-
ert Walker, 81, a brother-in-
law of Mr.. Mccoy, never was
heard from and is presumed
dead.
But Alfred Mack, SO, of st.
Anne, Ill, could be heard call
ing, "Oh Lord. Lord help me.
