One brand-new high school
will stand idle and two others
will be scarcely half filled while
Fairfax County students squeeze
into six crowded schools next
fall.
A new school attendance
plan which would have virtually
eliminated high school over
crowding was strapped by the
school board last night to pacify
disgruntled parents who prefer
that their youngsters scholas-
tic ties be preserved.
To maintain the educational
togethernesS. 1t will be neces-
sary to shuttle some students
around to classes away from
the high schools where they will
be enrolled-but they still will
be able to claim to have at
tended dear old such and such
high.
Some schools will have to go
on an eight-period day, and
extra teachers will have to be
hired, school officials said.
Lets recognize it-this Is an
impairment OF education, u
warned Theodore S. Heriot
school board chairman.
Under the attendance plan
finally approved by the school
board, the new George Marshall
High School at TysonS Corner
will be locked the day it is fin
ished this fall. But, Mclean
High less than three miles away
will struggle along with an
overload of 1000 students.
w. T. Woodson High and
Edison High will be only about
half filled when they open.
Two months ago, county
planners offered a school dis
trict plan to accommodate the
opening of three new high
schools next fall.
The plan raised a storm of
protests from parents who op-
posed shifting of their children.
Several public hearings were
held, and bitter opposition was
raised at each.
The board agreed last night
that they would put no stu

Peace Offensive Seen
Last night Mr. Gromyko
entertained Mr.. Rusk and a
panel of Berlin policy experts
at dinner. They talked for more
than three hours. Later word
circulated in Western quarters
that the Russians had not come
up with any new ideas or hints
Of concessions.
Nevertheless the mere fact OF
Soviet initiative in this field
was regarded as slightly en-
couraging. opening the POSSIBLE
ity of a decrease in East West
tensions over Berlin. AS to the
likely larger pattern of Soviet
diplomacy, including Mr.. Khru-
shchev's message on outer
space, the pattern seemed tc
show the familiar dimensions
of a peace offensive.
This suggested that several
related Soviet purposes may be
behind the present activity:
/. To make a show of seeking
a peaceful end of the Berlin
dispute simultaneously with
hammering on the theme that
Russia is ahead Of the United
States in working for tota,
disarmament.
2. To create a more relaxed
atmosphere for East West rela-
lions while building up the
campaign to prevent the United
States from starting a new
series of atmospheric nucleal
weapons tests next month.
3. To promote various pro.
posals for q nuclear-free zone
in Central Europe for the pur.
pose Of banning atomic weap.
ons from German territory.
Poland's Foreign Minister
Adam Rapacki, told the con.

to abandon its boycott of the
Geneva meeting and send a
delegate to fill the empty 18th
chair. There was no indication
that President de Gaulle would
heed the appeal. He considers
the meeting useless.
On another front, disarma-
ment experts of the United
States. Britain and the Soviet
Union resumed three-power
discussions Of a nuclear weap-
onS test ban. InformantS said
they failed to make any dent in
the East-West deadlock over
provisions for inspection to
police the ban. They did agree
to meet again tomorrow.
Pressure mounted among the
uncommitted nations for a mo-
ratorium on nuclear weapons
tests before the United States
resumes testing in the atmos-
phere next month.
Learn of Message
From Moscow, meanwhile,
came word that Premier Khru-
shchev had sent a message to
President Kennedy agreeing to
discuss international co-opera-
ton in exploring outer space.
East German Foreign Minis
ter Lothian Bolz was expected
here late today or tonight to
consult with Mr.. Gromyko. He
would have come earlier. Com
munist informants said. but for
some reason Switzerland was
slow in issuing the necessary
visas. Mr.. Gromyko protested
to the Swiss.
Western officials were closely
watching the outburst Of Soviet
activity, which seems to have
begun with new instructions to
Mr.. Gromyko from Moscow
Monday. On that day Mr..

Joint Aid Seen
By Khrushc|1ev
In Exploration
Coils Action Tied
To Disarmament
Treaty, However

MOSCOW, Mar. 81 (AP).-
Premier Khrushchev agreed to-
day to cooperate with the
United States in space explora-
ton, including a program for
sending vehicles to other
planets. But he emphasized
such joint ventures depend "in
some degree on the solution of
the disarmament problem"
Mr.. Khrushchev replied to a
letter Of President Kennedy on
March 7 suggesting that the
United States and the Soviet
Union pool their efforts in such
fields as weather forecasting
and international communica-
tions and even future explora-
ton of the moon and planets.
Mr.. Khrushchev's proposed a
six point program largely
parallel to the Presidents sug-
gestions. He said he was in
structing Soviet representatives
in the U. N. Space Committee
to meet American representa-
tives and discuss practical
plans. But he added:
cat the same time it seems
obvious to me that the scope
Of our cooperation in the
peaceful exploration of space,
just as the choice of the very
directions along which such CO.
operation would be possible, de-
ponds in some degree, on the
solution of the disarmament
problem"
Sees Limit Otherwise
(The White House said to-
day that Mr.. Khrushchev'S
proposal was received by
President Kennedy last night
but he will have no comment
until he has had a chance
to study the letter.)
Before ap agreement on gen.
eral and complete disarma-
ment is reached. Mr.. Khru-
shchev said. both countries are
limited in the possibility of CO.
operating in space.
II state these considerations
for the simple reason that 1t
would be better if we see all
the sides of the question in a
realistic light" he added.
The 17-nation disarmament
conference meeting in Geneva
since March IA has made no
visible progress because of dis
agreement over the issue of in
Ispection to prevent cheating.
In his March 7 letter. Mr..
Kennedy propose Soviet
A American cooperation in
launching satellites for weather
observation, mapping the
earth's magnetic field and ex-
Iperimenting in intercontinental
communications, helping track
each others space shots and
pooling information on space
medicine.
Response to Khrushchev
Looking to future exploration
Of the moon and planets, the
President said: THE tasks are
so challenging, the costs so
great and the risks to the brave
men who engage in space ex-
liberation so grave, that we
must in all good conscience try
every possibility of sharing
these tasks and costs and of
minimizing the risk"
This was Mr.. Kennedy's re-
spouse to a suggestion for space
cooperation, in general terms,
