chased from Giant Foods. Inc.

not return for a month. She
listed over $400 in medical ex-
penses and lost potential earn

Her attorney, John B. Casey,
said she won the case under the
Districts implied warranty
laws, which provide that a mer-
chant selling food implies that

no proof that the fish caused
her illness and said she was the
only customer who claimed the
fish was bad.

Learner Driver
FeeRiseUrged
For Virginia
BY ALEX PRESTON
Star Staff Writer

A recommendation that the
Virginia General Assembly set
q learners permN fee sufficient
to cover the basic cost Of driver
education in high schools
similar to a law recently en-
acted by Maryland-is among
the 8-point legislative proposals
of the Northern Virginia Ad-
visory Board Of the American
Automobile Association.
At the same time, the board
repeated its concern over the
action of the Fairfax County
School Board is dropping the
behind the wheel portion Of its
driver training program.
In a report from L. Lee Bean
Of Arlington, chairman Of the
Legislative Committee. the
board was told that Maryland
this. year raised the fee for a
learners permit from 81 to So
and that 81 Of this is earmarked
specifically for driver training.
Fund Totals 100000
The fund, which totals about
$500, 900, is distributed among
the Maryland schools on the
basis of the number Of students
enrolled in driver education
courses. Any unspent portion
of the fund carries over into
the following fiscal year and
can not revert to the general
revenues Of the State.
The board also asked the
Virginia legislature. which
convenes for go days on Janu-
ary 10, to require periodic re-
newal examinations and au-
thority to give behind the
wheel tests where the need is
indicated. At present a per-
init is renewed automatically
every three years upon appi-
cation of the driver.
At the same time the board
turned down as "class leglsla-
ton" a proposal that persons
over 65 years Of age be re-
quired to take special exam
nations. It said periodic re-
newal examinations for all
would cover this problem.
Other Proposals
Other legislative proposals in
cluded elimination of the per-
sonal property tax on auto
mobiles If a sales tax Is en-
acted; compliance with Federal
standards on billboard control,
raising from IS to Is the mini
mum age for drivers and en-
actment of an implied con-
sent" law.
The latter would make every
person licensed to drive subject
to chemical tests for alcohol If
ne is charged with drunken
driving.
The position Of the Northern
Virginia Board. incidentally. is
opposite to that taken by the
national AAA organization.
The subject Of driver educa-
tion was discussed by Harold
O. Carlton. educational con-
sultant for the AAA. He said
driver education is not cure
all; that it is necessary to
develop among children
proper attitude toward driving
and techniqueS, and application
Of good citizenship on the road.
Properly trained drivers, he
said, have only half the &C
cidents Of unframed drivers.
The board discussed but took
no action on requirements for
operators of buses transporting
children to private schools.
Operators Of public school buses
now are required to take
examinations more stringent
than required for chauffeurs.
Mr.. Bean said the law does
not clearly define school bus"
and that an opinion is being
sought from the attorney
general as to its application to

Lutheran Director
Takes Issue Against
Cardinal Spellman

NEW YORK tR = A Protest
ant spokesman today took issue
with Francis Cardinal Spellman's
attack on proposals by President
elect John F. Kennedy's task
force on education for federal aid
to public schools.
The Rev. DR.. Oswald Hoffman,
Public Relations Director of the
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod,
which operates the largest system
of Protestant elementary schools
in the country, said:
LET Cardinal Spellman speak
for himself. He does not speak
for us Lutherans."
Cardinal Spellman, R m n
Catholic Archbishop of New York,
charged yesterday that limiting
the proposed $5.8-billion aid to
public schools would be unfair
to parochial and private school
pupils.
81 cannot believe" he said
"that Congress would discrimin-
ate against Lutheran, Baptist,
Catholic or Jewish parents -
Americans all = in the ALLEGATION
of federal funds"
DR.. Hoffman replied:
GAS Americans who accept the
traditional American policy OF
church-state separation, we Lu-
therans would not feel discrimin-
ated against if federal funds were
appropriated for public schools
only"
Kennedy, who arrived here last
night for a short stay, said he
had no comment on the Cardinals
remarks.
About 149,201 pupils are en-
rolled in the 1928 full-time
schools operated by the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod.
Roman Catholics operate 1897
elementary schools, with 4,195,781
pupils.
Kennedy, Roman Catholic,
has repeatedly put himself on
record against federal aid to
either parochial or private schools.

Democrats Hope to
Break Coalitions Grip
On Rules Committee

WASHINGTON R House
Democrats at a harmonious eau
Gus today approved an increase
in Rules Committee membership
to break a coalitions grip on that
committee.
They shouted approval of a
resolution by Speaker Sam Ray
burn of Texas to increase the
membership to Is from IL, with
10 Democrats and 5 Republicans.
1t was one Of the briefest eau
cuses in party history, lasting
only about Is minutes.
The action, subject to House
approval probably next week,
represented an initial victory for
Rayburn in his drive to crack
the Rules Committee control held
in the past by coalition of four
Republicans and two Southern
Democrats.
Northern Democrats had pre-
dicted in advance that the eau
Gus would approve the change.
They were less confident about
how the plan will fare on the
House floor, where Republicans
and Southern Democrats have
combined in the past to have a
dominant voice in the House.
The final outcome could have
a great bearing on the success of
President-elect John F. Kennedy's
legislative program.

night to the seat left vacant by
the resignation of Pearse Walsh.

Utility Board when he was ap-
pointed to the Senate seat of VIM.
E. Beltz. Reader will serve until

row Morgan, secretary; Tommy
Johnson, vice president, and AL
bert Johnson and Chuck Reader.

cheering study of the Nome Light

ment with the bonding company
calls for such a study to be made
every five years. The base con-
tract is for $4,000 but with travel
and other expenses, it is ex-
pected to cost about $4,000.

COP Colleagues Assure
Nixon of Future
National Service

WASHINGTON up - Vice Pres
ident Richard Nixon packed to-
day for his departure from Wash
ington with the assurances of COP
colleagues that future national
service awaits him.
Nixon was said by aides to be
undecided yet on which of sew
eral offers he will accept from
law firms in California.
The Nixon home in fashion
able residential district is up for
sale.
Several of his Republican sem
atorial colleagues told Nixon yes
terday that though he may be
leaving office Friday because of
his narrow defeat in the Presi-
dental race, they expect him to
be back in harness again.
Nixon is regarded as one of the
likely contenders for the 1864 Re-
publican Presidential nomination.
He has indicated he does not plan
to run in 1862 for any California
office.
Nixon touched off a 75-minute
series of tributes including
some from Democrats - when he
said goodby to the Senate yester-
day.
Senate Republican Leader Ever
EFT Dirksen praised Nixon as zone
of the most distinguished Vice
Presidents of this country"

ball of paper in his hand as others
joined in tributes.

Demos Do Not
Spare the Horses
For .JFK's Parade
BIZ Arthur Edison

WASHINGTON tR = Every
thing seems about ready for John
F. Kennedy's big Presidential In
auguration Friday, including 275
horses, % mules and one burro.
This livestock statistic was
hurled out today by breathless
inaugural committee.
Many of its earlier tidbits dealt
with the latest formidable Weap-
ons the Armed Forces will dis
play, and with the electronic
gadgetry aimed at keeping the
parade on time.
But in News Release No. 1875,
issued today, the committee did
a complete about face.
"In no other parade" the COM
mittee proudly reported. "have
there been so many horses"
This seems surprising since
horses were standard presidential
locomotion in the old days and
Warren G. Harding was the first
to forsake them and ride to his
Inauguration in an automobile.
But admittedly 275 adds up to
a lot of horse flesh, and of course
the Army is prepared. Two horse
ambulances, each with veterin-
arian and an assistant, will be
parked along the parade route to
assist any beast needing first aid.
The mules wear miniature
fezzes between their ears. Their
sponsors are the Colorado Springs,
Colo, Al Kaly Temple of Shrin-
ers. The burro, symbol of the
Democratic Party, will pull a
miniature float preceding the mule
train.
What started out as on inaugu-
raj ball Friday night has now
branched out into five. Two more
were added yesterday, which will
give dancers room for whirling,
or watching, away in four hotel
bathrooms and the National Guard
Armory.
No one seems to have paused
long enough to count the tickets
sold, but the figure usually used
is $4,000, fair-sized crowd when
you remember that the cheapest
ticket costs $25 and that box
seating of eight brings in 1920.

Soviet Tracking Ships
Bring Speculation of a
Spectacular Space Shot

WASHINGTON Up - Four So
Wet missile tracking ships stand
ing by in the Pacific brought new
speculation today that the Soviet
Union was preparing for a spec
tacular space shot.
Navy patrol aircraft spotted the
fourth ship, the Suchan, Tuesday
in the North Pacific, 1000 miles
due south of the Aleutian Island
of Attu. 1t was moving slowly
on a southeast course.
The other three missile track
ing ships appear to be stationed
in a loose triangle near the tar
get area used by the Soviets for
missile tests last year. One is only
600 miles southwest of Honolulu.
U. S. officials expect the So
viets to use the space shot. if it
is successful, as propaganda
stunt timed to coincide with the
Inauguration Friday of President
elect John F. Kennedy.

B52 Bombers Stay in
The Air Around the Clock

OMAHA Up - The Strategic
Air Command announced today
that U. S. heavy bombers now are
in the air around the clock.
Gen. Thomas S. Power, SAC
Chief, said an un-
specified number of B52s are in
the air at all times. About two
dozen bases are involved, he said.
Power said the indoctrination
phase of the airborne alert train
ing program has been completed
and now all combat-ready B52
bomber crews are participating
in airborne alert training mis-
sions under realistic conditions.
He said the program is in
keeping with the U. S. policy of
being prepared, and is designed
"to reduce to an absolute mini
mum the time required by SAC
bombers to respond to any hostile
action by an agressor."
During an airborne alert train
ing mission the bomber remains
in the air for a 24-hour period
and is refueled by KC-135 jet
Stratotankers.

Ike Reviews His
Past Eight-Year
Period to NeWsmen
By Mdruin L. Arro,1smith

WASHINGTON R = President
Eisenhower said today he con-
siders the greatest achievement of
his eight years in office was the
preservation of peace in an era
when weakness would almost GER
tainly have brought disastrous
war.
Eisenhower gave this appraisal
in his last Presidential news con-
ference, attended by $50 report
ers who crowded into the ornate
Indian Treaty Room of the old
State Department Building.
The 70-year-old Soldier-Presi-
dent dealt quickly, smilingly and
emphatically with questions con-
cerned with foreign and domes-
tic problems. He spoke most feel
ingly when asked what he con-
sidered his most satisfying
achievement and most heart
breaking failure.
His great disappointment, Eli
senhower said, was that the ma
ton could not be brought to the
place it could be said that peace
with justice was in sight.
AS for achievements, Eisen-
hover went on, the eight years
SPAWNED a period in which the
Russian achieved the Hydrogen
Bomb, built an arsenal of nuclear
weapons, and supported the war
like threats of the Red Chinese
a period in which this country
was fighting a war in Korea and
there was grave danger it would
spread.
This government showed the
understanding, firmness and will
ingness to take risks in support
of policies which prevented the
great war from coming, the Pres
ident said.
Had there been weakness in
that time, Eisenhower continued,
he is convinced there would have
been a war that would have been
disastrous to all the earth.
After this grave speech - the
longest of the news conference
Eisenhower suddenly grinned and
said that Nov. s was another great
disappointment.
Apart from this rueful COM
ment, and despite the many prod
ding questions, Eisenhower de-
clined to give his version of what
went wrong in the Presidential
election which cost the Republi-
can Party control of the White
House.
