NEW YORK, April 4.-As he
begins his race for reelection.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York is inclined to think
that people just don't under
stand him.
It is a matter of considerable
distress to him that after four
years in Albany, during which
his deeds, words and thoughts
have been laid out for all to
see, his political friends and
enemies are still trying to put
him into neat little pigeon
holes where he doesn't think
he belongs.
A New York City newspaper,
friendly to his cause, summed
up his record the other day
as liberal" A Democratic
speechmaker had previously
described him as "crypto-con-
sentative"
The Governor found both
tags aggravating. 1t was just
one more proof to him Of his
unwanted talent for confusing
people.

AS a result, he said, the as

| NEW ORLEANS, April
| (AP).-United States District
Judge j. Sicily Wright has
thrown out an indignation slow.
down law and ordered desegre-
CATION Of the first six grades Of
all New Orleans public schools
next FAN.
The sweeping order yester-
day brought from q Louisiana
legislative leader promises OF
drastic action next month
Members Of the Orleans Parish
County Board said they
would appeal.
Token desegregation is now
in effect in six scattered ele-
mentary schools In the city.
Week After Church Ruling
Judge Wright's ruling came a
week after Archbishop Joseph
Francis Rummel ordered de-
segregation of all Catholic
parochial and private schools
next Fall, grades one through IL.
1t came in the midst of a
furore over accommodation
threats against some leading
Catholic SegregationiStS.
In addition to speeding up
desegregation, Judge Wright's
order declared the application
Of Louisiana'S pupil placement
law in New Orleans unconsti-
tutional. But, he did not rule
on its application in the rest
of the State.
However, every Louisiana
city operates a segregated
school system. Apparently, If
the placement law was tested
in any other Louisiana city, it
would be declared invalid.
Promises Action
This knocked out one Of the
last rear-guard actions by the
Louisiana Legislature. State
Senator E. w. Gravolet said
legislators may have an answer
and promised drastic action.
But he didn't say what the
answer would be.
Theodore H. Shepard, jr.,
president Of the Orleans Parish
School Board. said he almost
definitely" will call a special
meeting Friday to authorize an
appeal.
Louis G. Riecke, a board
member, said, I'm afraid it
might cause chaos in the sys-
tenn if we have to desegregate
all those grades in September"
Louis Rittner, another men,
Der, suggested the board might
study abandonment of the dual
school system.
Issued Original Order
Judge Wright, a native of
New Orleans, is 81 years old.
He has been appointed to the
United States Court Of Appeals
in Washington, D. c., and his
appointment has been con-
firmed by the United States
Senate. In Washington he will
succeed 70-year-old E. Barrett
Prettyman, who is retiring.
Judge Wright issued the orig
inal order desegregating New
Orleans public schools. When
the order was supplemented on
November IA. 1860, while par
ents withdrew their children
almost en- masse from the two
elementary schools which &C
copied Negro first graders.
Gov. Jimmie H. Davis took
control of the city's schools in
an attempt to head off desegre-
CATION, but the action was null
lifted by a panel Of Federal
judges. The Governor was I'M

He later identified Col.
Glenn as the hoy" he had
talked with.
The offer of free houses was
made last month by the Home
Builders Association of Hous-
ton. The builders said the
houses would be worth about
$24, 900, but furnishings includ-
ed in the offer would push the
value far above that figure. The

1t was revealed late last week
that Mr.. Dorsey had recon-
mended to the aStronaut that
they accept the offer. A furry
of publicity followed and the
question of propriety was raised
in some news articles. The
White House was asked for a
ruling on the matter.
At the news conference, Col.
Powers said the White House
did not participate in the de-
ciSion which resulted in rejec-
ton of the home offer.

House hasn't played any role"
he said. The White House did

Plea TO Boost
District Fund
Home Rule Rivals
Unite in Call for
Fiscal Stability
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

A new congressional strategy
on District home rule emerged
from Senate hearings today.
It was to stress an increased
Federal payment and financial
stability in the Capital City,
under a locally-elected govern
ment.
With or without a home rule
bill, the financing proposals
will be pressed on a bipartisan
basis.
A home rule bill-regardless
Of its detailed PROFESSIONALLY
be broadly supported in the
Senate and the House. The
Senate leaders prefer a COM
bination of mayor-city council
bills sponsored by President
Kennedy and Senator Morse,
Democrat OF Oregon. House
home rule champions are going
for a territorial government
patterned after a proposal of
former President Eisenhower.
Differences can be ironed out
in conference.
Bible Leads Move
Hearings opened today before
the Senate District Committee
on the Kennedy and Morse
bills. Chairman Bible, Democrat
of Nevada, who introduced the
White House version. stressed
with Senator Morse. that q
Senate House conference was
the place for perfecting organ
ization of a new city govern
ment.
The same approach was
taken by Representative Wild
nall, Republican Of New Jersey,
who represented an informal
steering committee" dedicated
to winning House action this
session.
Senator Bible denied that
the hearings were exercises
in futility" although the Senate
five times in the last decade
has passed home rule bills
which received no House action.
The bills died in the grave
yard of the House District
Committee" Senator Morse
said. But he said he believed
a campaign to arouse a ma
tional protest against taxation
without representation here
could bring victory to home
rule efforts.
President Kennedy wrote
into his home rule bill a Fed
eral payment formula, which
would amount to $40 million
a year. The current Federal
payment to the District is $50
million, or about one-twelfth
Of the total city budget.
Based on Tax Loss
The Kennedy formula is
based on estimates Of what
could be collected from the
Federal Government in prop
erty and business taxes, if the
Federal plant were taxable.
Added, too. would be lost taxes
from property exempted from
the rolls by Congress.
Senator Morse asked for a
simple formula for the Fed
eral payment-40 per cent of
total municipal costs. These
costs now are edging toward
$500 million. So, the Morse
Federal payment could ap-
proach $120 million annually.
This is not unrealistic, the
Oregon Democrat insisted.

Fairfax Yields
In School Case
Will Switch Pupils
To New Building
BY JOHN LAWSON
Star Staff Writer

The Fairfax County School
Board, under fire for its de-
cision to overload six high
schools while leaving one new
school unused, reversed the de-
cision last night.
In an action bitterly attacked
by one member as politically
motivated, the board decided
to reduce overcrowding in the
six schools and to open the
George Marshall High School
near Tyson's Corner whenever
it is ready.
The plan means that some
students in the Mclean and
J. E. B. Stuart High School
areas, whose parents strongly
protested their moving to a
new school, will have to go to
the new school anyway.
Because of pressure from
parents who did not want their
children transferred, the school
board on March 20 decided to
send about $4,000 students to
schools designed for about
5000 next fall. In addition.
the board at that meeting
voted to make only partial use
of two new high schools due
to be ready and to make no
use at all Of Marshall though
its academic section was Sched-
uled to be completed by
Thanksgiving.
Heard Only Half"'
But the board discovered,
Chairman Theodore Heriot said
last night, that I'VE only
heard from half of the people. "
After the March 20 board
action, parent-teacher groups,
the County Council of PTAs,
the Federation of Citizens As
Sociations and numerous par
ents protested the decision.
Last nights action was taken
over the lone opposition of
Board Member Berge Thorn
asian, who objected that the
board was acting hastily. He
criticized the plan as the re-
suit of political pressure" and

District Commissioners. The
bill as introduced by Mr.. Davis
had authorized q limit of 100
dogs.
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray told the subcommittee he
was enthusiastic" about the
canine corps.
But he estimated it would
take at least two years for the
corps to reach a strength of
100 dogs. The cost, he said,
would be about $4,000. Cur
rently, the chief said, there are
81 dogs in the program and all
but six are patrolling the
streets.
Deterrent Effect Seen
He said the corps represents
a strong deterrent" to crime
in the District, particularly in
those areas Of the city where
the dogs are obviously patrol
ling.
Chief Murray was asked by
Representative Williams, Dem
ocrat Of Mississippi, If he had
received any criticism over the
use Of the dogs.
The chief answered that ere
sponsible citizens" had never
expressed any objection.
He did say, however, that
