Plans Submitted
To End Jersey
School 'Crowism'

Orange, N. j. = The NAACP
presented four plans for desegre-
eating Orange, N. j. public schools
to the Board of Education.
Ray Murphy, co-chairman OF
the NAACP's. Oranges-Maplewood
chapter, asked the board to adopt
one of these plans or any other
which will accomplish desegrega.
ton of the Oakwood and Central
elementary schools.
Oakwood elementary school lies
in the area that has been gerry
wandered so that it is SO per cent
Negro. Students range from kind
ergarten to fourth grade, with
some fifth graders.
Negro youngsters are then as
signed zen masse'' to Central
which is in another school zone
and extends through the eighth
grade. Negro children are the only
ones in the city forced to attend
a school outside their zone, cauS-
ing travel problems and hardships.
There is another school, all white,
in Central S sz6ne.
: The aNAACP asked the school
board to formulate its desegrega-
ton plan no later than February
IS, 1862, sosthat it can be imple-
mented at the beginning of the Sep
tember, 1862, school year.
Miss June Shagaloff, NAACP
special assistant for education,
urged the board to assume its
moral and legal responsibility to
end deliberately segregated pub
lie schools here.
ANY failure to follow through,
on the part of the board, will be
tantamount to inviting court ac-
tion," she added.
The NAACP proposals were sup
ported by several community and
parent organizations present at
the meeting. Maintenance of the
Oakwood and Central schools as
segregated institutions is contrary
to New Jerseys state constitution.

Group Investigates
Dental Bias Charges

New York - The possibility of
discrimination against Negroes by
Long Island dentists is being in
vestigated by the Tenth Dental
District Society, DR.. Eugene T.
Reed reported.
DR.. Reed, president of the MA
ACP New York state organization
and a dentist. has charged that
discriminatory practices have been
unearthed.
However, the State Dental So
ciety pointed to its code of ethics,
constitution and by-laws-all of

Valley Bank To
IPay4P Per Cent

Valley National Bank today an
nounced it will pay the highest
maximum legal interest rates per-
mitted by the Federal Reserve
Board.
Effective Jan. 1, 1862, savings
on deposit for IL months or more
will begin earning percent per
annum-and earnings thereafter
will be compounded and credited
quarterly.
Savings on deposit since April
| 1, 1861 will have quarterly in
terest credited on March 81, 1862
at this new per cent rate, Valley
Bank president Carl A. Bimson
emphasized.
Money on deposit less than IL
months will continue to earn daily
interest-at the new maximum
legal rate of 31s per cent. AS al
ways, deposits made by the tenth
i of any month will earn interest
from the first day of that month,
BimSon noted.
''This action by Arizona's largest
bank will help attract additional
capital from out-of-state and will
encourage higher savings balances
by Arizona residents" Bimson pre-
dicted.
Certainly, the Arizona deposit
or is entitled to earn as much on
his savings as could be earned
in the East" Bimson commented
in referring to the move toward
higher interest rates made by sew
eral New York banks in the past
week.
1.-THE Federal Reserve Boards
recent permission to pay higher
rates is a further indication of up
ward pressures on interest rates
paid by borrowers. And it reflects
a more realistic appraisal of pres
ent and future trends in interest
rates." the president of the 73-
office statewide VNB system point
ed out.
1.-THE FRB's action undoubtedly
was felt necessary by the Admin
istration-due to imbalance of
payments by foreign creditors and
the outward flow of gold from our
shores.
Eastern bankers for some time
have expressed need for greater
flexibility in our interest structure
lin order to retard trends to-
ward investments in many foreign
countries.
There was considerable resist
ance, however, to any move to
permit higher interest rates to
foreign investors than those paid
to domestic depositors-as had
been proposed earlier this year.
Obviously, because of this reluct-
ance toward dual interest rate,
the Federal Reserve Board de-
cided to permit the across-the-
board hike in interest rates, the
Federal Reserve Board decided
to permit the across-the-board hike
in interest rates paid savings Gus

used is originally white. II grows dark
with age. which lends value to a lantern.
Each lantern has six parts an
ornamental top, cap, light chamber,
a center stand, post and base"
Mr.. BOchenek explains.
The parts are not joined with add
tiOnal cement, they just rest one on top
of the other and that's it,
At first. in Japan, there was a small
lamp burning in each lantern. but very
soon the idea Of utility was superseded
by that of decoration. Mr. Bochenek,
however, is wiring one of his lamps. He
also has removed the light chamber from
one lantern and placed a mailbOx on it.
Since 1888, he has designed and made six
lanterns.
The lanterns should not be placed
haphazardly in garden" he advises.
"One looks best in the center of group
oftrees or near Shrubbery, near pieces of
decorative stone"

A Touch Of Japan in Mclean

A VISITOR from Japan, strolling about
IA Mclean, Va, might well do
double take" as the saying is, when he
comes to 2O8 Brook road. For in the
garden there, he would see collection
of lanterns which, specifically at least,
are exactly like those so long familiar
in his native land.
The difference is of material, not
design, and they are the handiwork of
a man whose only knowledge of Japan
was cleaned from book.
Alfred F. Bochenek is chemist One
day in 1858, his wife brought home a
book on Japanese gardens from the Falls
Church Public Library, where she is
an assistant.
The japanese have a reputation of
being the worlds best gardeners. They
decorate their gardens with waterfalls,
water-basins, islands, small bridges and
stone lanterns.
The lanterns described and pictured

Made of soft, granite-like native stone,

was soon adopted by garden designers

ing the painters own steps.
We are forced out of the
compelling story and into the

Of the art-historian detective

The false note lasts but a
second. though, and we are
back with the blind pathos of
the suicide, the death and the
burial.
Here, as with all films on
art, the question arises. Is it a
substitute for looking at the
paintings? The answer, of
course, is no. However roman
tic or tragic a painters life,
the important thing about him
is his work. The program,
wisely, does not attempt to be

is an extremely able evocation

first place. has relied heavily
on Vincent's letters. not only
for the general outline but for
the actual sound track. The
most effective telling Of the
tragic triumph Of the Dutch
painter was his own, in his
letters to his brother Theo, and
in the paintings. Aware of this,
Mr.. Hazam has let the letters
tell almost the whole story, in
an excellent, restrained but
powerful reading by Lee j.
Cobb.
At the same time. profiting
from decades of the techniques
established by short. non
commercial films on art, Mr..
Hazam very wisely tells the
story without actors. Nobody
imper ateS the painter.
Rather, We watch the develop
ing story as if through his eyes.
The visual story is an expert
blending of the drawings and
paintings with the scenes them
selves. The scholar, John Re-
wald. has done an amazingly
detailed job of hunting down
the actual places where Van
Gogh painted. On that re-
search Mr.. Hazam has built an
entirely satisfactory visual pill
grimage to illustrate the brief,
intense life recounted in the
letters.
The camera work throughout .
is extraordinarily apt. Visual
metaphor is used unhesitat-
ingly to reinforce the story.
Thus, when Vincent speaks of
the feelings of a Gagged bird,
we are confronted with a live,
exotic Gagged bird. This is dar-
ing and could easily fall flat on
its face, but a rapid rate of |
cutting keeps the image alive
and Strengthens the compar-
iSon with the painter.
Again, at moments, a hand
held camera is used expertly |
and with restraint. This effect,
almost never seen on television,
binds the visual scene not so
much to the physical motion
Of the painter as to his grow
ing mental arrangement after
the arrival at Aries of Gauguin.
The mechanical SmoothnesS of
the machine which is a camera
is. very briefly, broken, and the
act of sight itself partakes of
the nervous agitation of the
letters and Of the story they
tell.
70 In the interests Of documen-
tray, the program brings in two
people who actually knew Van
Gogh Just before his death in
1890, his innkeeper's daughter
and the son of DR.. Gachet.
Only at this point, oddly
enough. does the story seem
false. The introduction Of this
old man and this old woman
