The second experiment is
still a long way off. The Ma
tfonal Capital Housing Author
ity directed its staff to look into
the feasibility Of issuing rent
certificates, to low income
families on the public housing
waiting list.
With such certificates good
for a certain amount of cash,
families could rent housing
anywhere in the Washington
metropolitan area. This might
encourage more Negro families
to move into the Washington
suburbs, a development which
would be contested in many
areas.
However, at the moment
there is no authority to issue
such certificates. The Washing
ton public housing staff will
look into the program so 1t has
the facts in hand in case Con-
gress authorizes the rent GER

Pedestrian
Toll Brings
CruckdoWn

Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray today ordered q crack
down on jaywalking and on
motorists who fail to give
pedestrians the right Of way.
Alarmed by five pedestrian
traffic fatalities this month in
the District, Chief Murray in
q directive to all commanding
officers said police should be
instructed to take positive ac-
ton when violations come to
their attention"
This is police jargon mean
ing Ito hand out tickets"
So that officers don't become
too lenient, Chief Murray said,
IAN supervisory personnel
shall take energetic steps to
require compliance with this

All precincts are being re-
qlired to file with headquarters
a weekly breakdown on the
number Of tickets given to pc
destrians who violate the "pe-
destrian control regulations, ,
and to motorists who fail to
give the right Of way" These

within so days. according to
Mr.. Servaites.
The families to go into the
private houses. will be "care-
fully selected in regards to
their stability and housekeep-
ing habits, Mr.. Servaites said.
AS in the standard public
h ousing developments, the
families in the renovated homes
will pay rents according to
their incomes. The Federal
Government under the public
housing program makes up the
difference.
The approach, If successful,
could result in a major change
Of emphasis in the city's public
housing program. Instead Of
building institutional projects,
the city increasingly might
turn to renovation Of existing

AB&W Gets
OK to Boost
Some Fares

RICHMOND. Mar. 80 (AP).
The Alexandria. Bancroft g.
Washington Transit Co. has
received permission for 5-cent
intrastate increases IN fares ef-
fectiye April II.
The state Corporation Com
mission yesterday granted an
application for . minimum cash
fare increase from is to 90
cents and a Scent zone in
crease to IS cents. Tokens for
the latter fare will be available
at the rate of four for 85 cents.
No change was made in the
school fare Or child's fare, now
10 cents each.
The sec also granted an in
tervening petition Of the WASH
ington. Virginia g. Maryland
Coach Co. allowing equalization
Of fare-transfer charges made
by the AB&W and the WVSkM.
The two companies have an ar
rangement for passenger trans
fers in Arlington County.
Robert T. Mitchell, executive
vice president and general
manager Of AB&W, told the
commission the company would
have been forced to seek fare
increases a year or more ago
had it not been for increased
revenues from charter and
sight seeing services. The
present l5-cent minimum fare
has been in effect since 1858.
Charles E. Hammond, execu-
tive assistant to the Arlington
County Public Utilities Com
mission, appeared as the sole
opponent to the fare increase
request.

It's Work, Work, Work
For Pupils This Easter

April %, and on Memorial Day,
May 80.
Alexandria students, who lost
fewer days than the county
pupils. will be off tomorrow
and will return to classes next
Wednesday.
Will Make Up Five Days
Loudoun County students,
who lost more days than any
group in the area, also will have
tomorrow off, but will be back
in school on Monday. They
will thus make up five snow
days, having been scheduled
originally to be on Easter va
cation through all of next week.
Falls Church students, a little
more fortunate, will be off to-
morrow and Monday, making
up one snow day. They orig
inally had been scheduled to
be off Tuesday as well as Mon
day.
In Montgomery County, the
situation is more complex.
The down-county area, which
got less snow that the up
county region, will close its
schools tomorrow through
Tuesday, with the students re-
turning to classes on Wednes-
day. Up-county students, how
ever, will have tomorrow off but
will return to their studies on
Tuesday.
Like Loudoun County, Mont
gomery originally had sched-
uled its Easter holidays to run
through all of next week.
Students in Prince Georges
County, who also would have
had the whole week off, will be
on their own today and Mon
day, but will return to classes
on Tuesday. Most of the
schools thus will be making UP

Housing Authority Moves to Buy
Old Dwellings for Public RentoIs

Washington's public housing
authority today began laying
the groundwork for two ex-
perimentS in providing homes
for low income families.
The first idea is to convert
private homes into public
housing dwellings. The other

issue rent certificates to enable
families to rent housing they
cannot afford on their own.
Both experiments have far

Francis x. Servaites, execu-

permission from his board yes
terday to proceed with plans to
buy 10 houses in the Northeast
conservation area and turn
them over to families waiting
to get into public housing or
those in units too small for
them.
Mr.. Servaites said the Fed

Washington housing agency to
try out this method of meeting
the demand for low income
families. The Washington au-
thority will apply for money to

Borrowing Barred
D. .C.Cuts Projects
Course is Set
By Senate OK
On Funds Bill
BY JOHN McKELWAY
Star Staff Writer

Congress moved today to
prevent the District from even
borrowing $5.7 million, origi-
naIly sought as part of an au-
thorized Federal payment.
Last night, the House quickly
accepted a conference report
on a supplemental money bill
and went along with a refusal
to grant the city authority to
borrow the money. The Senate
approved the action today with
out comment from the floor.
The Senate had, at the urg-
ing of Senator Robert C. Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia, and
chairman of a subcommittee on
District appropriations, agreed
to let the city borrow the money
needed for public works spend
ing.
Representative Thomas, Dem
ocrat of Texas, said the borrow
ing authority was denied be-
cause I'VE do not want to in
crease the debt of the city and
we've already passed a sales tax
bill that will produce SO mil
lion" Mr.. Thomas served as a
conferee.
Thus, the city lost all hope
of starting almost Sc million in
public works projects this year.
City officials then began the
job of canceling various prof.
ects and further postponing
the entire program.
The cuts will be as follows:
SIG million for schools; 1.2
million for hospital construc-
tion; SIP million for storm
sewer construction; $500, 900 for
Zoo construction and $500, 900
from welfare, library and rec
reational programs.
The action also served to
confuse the spending program
for the next fiscal year and
forced the Commissioners to re-
evaluate their whole approach
to the city's financial situa-
ton.
AS for spending from Dis
trict funds. the House allowed
all items approved by the Sem
ate. These were:
$4,000 for the new transit
authority; $575.000 for welfare
payment; $197 ,450 to raise SAL
aries of interns at D. C. Gen.
eral Hospital and cover in
creased costs at st. Elizabeths
Hospital; 100000 to speed po-
lice recruitment; $4,000 to
license practical nurses and ST.
268, 900 for snow removal costs.
Also approved as an item in
the supplemental bill was an
increase in the Federal aid tc
impacted school areas program.
Nearby, counties in Maryland
and Virginia stand to pick up
about $1.S million in additional
funds for the current fiscal
year.

Thousands Of Washington
area school children are look
ing on the Easter holidays as
a time of bitter reckoning.
In short, instead of being
home or romping with their
friends in the warm spring air,
most area students will be sit
ting in their classrooms during
much Of the holiday period.
The notable exceptions are
those in the District.
The reason?
The Easter vacations have
been considerably cut in the
nearby areas to make up the
days the county students lost
during last winters snow
storms. -
Easter, school officials ex-
planned, seemed an ideal time
for the unhappy students to
pay the piper.
City Schools to Close
The District, though classes
were dismissed on three snow
occasions, did not exceed the
number Of days it already had
allowed for such unforeseen
circumstances. The city's
schools, therefore, will be closed
tomorrow and all Of next week,
providing the longest Easter
respite in the area.
The nearby pupils, however
are not so well off.
In Arlington, where the
Easter vacation is never a week
long to begin with, students will
be off tomorrow and Easter
Monday only, making UP at
least one snow day.
In Fairfax, schools also will
be closed tomorrow and Mon

Old Bookshelf
By GEORGE KENNEDY

It was a shelf less than five
feet long at one side Of the
third grade classroom in q
small public school. It con-
tanned only a few books, but
the writer owes to it a child'S
delight in reading 'Black
Beauty" and Hans Brinker,
or the Silver Skates"
Does everyone remember
'cBlack Beauty?" Think how
many generations Of children
have followed the fortunes Of
that handsome black carriage
horse. It was written by
Anna Sewall in 1877.
Black Beauty had his ups
and downs. He was brought
up in a well appointed stable.
There was a horse named
Ginger who was mean to the
hero horse at first. But later
they became friends.
The book had its sad chap
terS. A drunken groom broke
Black Beauty's knees. Dis
figured, he was sold and soon
was pulling a cart. When last
seen Ginger was dead and
was being carted off to a glue
factory. Finally q farmer
recognized Black Beauty's
breeding, purchased him and
turned him out to pasture.

'HANS BRINKER," by
Mary Mapes Dodge, one of
the editors Of st. Nicholas
Magazine, is even older. It
was first published in 1885.
It is a joyous book Of children
skating on the canals Of Hol-
land. It, too, had a sad pen
ultimate chapter. A jolly fat
boy, a friend Of Hans, whom
everyone liked, is taken sick
and dies. But the book ends
happily. Hans sister Gretel
wins the silver skates in an
annual competition and gives
them to her brother. She
wanted him to win all along.
All this Renaissance was
occasioned by a visit the
Rambler made yesterday to
Bucknell Elementary School

Mount Vernon. This school,
of 600 pupils from first
