Britt Sullivan
Challenges Ocean
BY MARY CAMPBELL
AP NeMsfeatures Writer

NEW YORK (AP) On the
Fourth of July a sturdy Kansas
girl will put on a bathing suit,
plunge into a 120 mile long labor
atory and spend six to mine days
trying to prove a theory she's
been working on for a decade.
She's Britt Sullivan, 81, black
haired and green eyed.
Her laboratory is the Atlantic
Ocean, which she will attempt to
swim from the eastern to the west
ern end of Long Island.
Her theory is that humans not
only can survive in water a week
or more but at the same time can
get themselves from one place to
another.
How is it done?
Except to say that she used a
system, which she originated, o I
mental and physical relaxation i N
the water, Miss Sullivan won't say.
She swan the Ohio River from
Cincinnati to Louisville-134 miles
and 21a days in the water-l S t

cessful, her ambition is to swim
the English Channel round trip.
Britt, now teaching swimming
here, says she is tackling these
long endurances swims for t w o
reasons.
/. To prove to her own entire
satisfaction that her SurYival-in-
water theory works before she ad-
vocates that other people learn it.
2. To do something dramatic
enough that the public will be in
terested when she does reveal how
her method operates.
Life is important to me-" she
says. Every time read some
thing, like a Texas Tower collaps-
ing and drown bodies found, r
Rockefeller's son lost, / feel guilty
that / haven't done something to
prevent it.

Walter Ward Rolls Short Hook
For Control

Walter Ward of Cleveland
and Phoenix has been one Of
bowling's all-time great scorers.
In some of his league seasons,
he's carried averages of more
than 230.
That, my friends, is scoring.
Walter maintains that con-
troll, consistency and a work.
ing ball have been his scoring
secrets. He rolls a short hook
because he finds it'much easier
to CONTROL. He rolls it in line
with the 8 pin, and the ball
breaks in toward the pocket
when it's 10 to Is feet away.
Walter Ward also can find
the strike path on strange lanes
quickly. He adjusts his game
quickly to fit conditions.
You can learn plenty from

The first attempt to enforce
a new Virginia law intended to
curtail antiSegregation demon
STATIONS at business establish
ments has failed.
Four Northern Virginia inte-
grationists, arrested as they
picketed an Arlington theater
last Friday, were acquitted yes
terday of charges of "injur-
ing business" DismiSsing the
charges, County Court Judge
Kenneth McFarlane Smith
ruled there was no proof that
picketing harmed the theater
His decision, together with
arguments by Defense Counsel
Joseph L. Rauh, jr.. indicated
that future prosecutions under
the controversial statute may
be difficult. One section of
the law makes it a crime for
people to act jointly "for the
purpose OF willfully and ma
liciously injuring another in
his reputation, trade, business
or profession by any means
whatever. :"
Sees No Malice
Mr.. Rauh, who was retained
by the American Civil Liberties
Union, commended that the
pickets displayed no malice as
they carried signs with slogans
such as Segregation Is I'm
moral" and Race Prejudice
Is Un-American."
There is nothing wicked,
mischievous. nothing of i'll will
in the desire to see their fellow
citizens admitted to this thea
ter" he declared.
Commemorative At t rney
William Hassan, who said he
violently disagreed" with the
courts decision, argued that
the pickets maliciously tried to
influence the attitude of custo-
mers toward the theater.
FOrestall Test of Law
The acquittals forestall a
test of the conStitutionality of
the law which became effective
last Friday.
After the trial yesterday.
Mr.. Hassan invoked additional
provisions of the new statute
against them.
These sections make it illegal
to conspire "for the purpose of
maliciouSly compelling another
to do or perform any act
against his will, or preventing
or hindering another from
