NAACP Plans
Drive to Register
Maryland Voters

BALTIMORE, Jan. 10 (AP) j..
"A statewide drive to register
Negroes for voting was an
nounced Wednesday by the
Maryland branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
Plans for the drive were an
nounced by Lille M. Jackson,
president of the NAACP in
Maryland. She said the leader
of the campaign would be Phil
lip H. Savage, field secretary of
the NAACP.
Mr.. Savage said, 1.-THE pro-
test demonstrations which have
been occurring throughout the
State of Maryland need an i'm
portant supportive force--the
Negroes voting strength"
He said a meeting would be
held Saturday in Baltimore at
NAACP headquarters to organ
ize the drive.
mo longer is the Negro vote
tied to a particular political
party" Mr.. Savage said. The
Negro voter will support the
candidate, whether Republican
or Democrat, who supports mis-
efforts for full citizenship rights
and liberties. The 1860 presi-
1ential election is an interest
ing example of the balance OF
power of the Negro vote.

The Federal Republic Of
Gerfnany's new chancery on
Reservoir road NV, will be a
spacious structure with an ex-
terror of steel, wood an glass,
an embassy official said today.
An embassy pres secretary
said construction of the $2.5
million, 10000 square = foot
building is scheduled to begin
in March.
Although the German gov
eminent had made no formal
announcement of the conStruc-
ton start, land-clearing crews
recently began operations on
chancery site, which adjoins
the Embassy residence at 1900
FoXhall road NV.
The three-acre tract, situated
in one of the city's most FASH
ionable residential neighbour
hoods, extends from Foxhall
road to Reservoir road.
A Washington contracting
firm, William P. Lipscomb Co.,
Inc, will be the general con-
tractor for the project.
An embassy aide said the
100-office chancery will have
a nauditorium seating 300 per-
sons and a cafeteria, and will
be provided with ample park
ing and garage areas.
Designs for the chancery
were prepared by one of Ger
many's foremost architects,
Prof. Egon Eiermann of KarlS-
ruhe University, who also de-
signed the German pavilion at
the Brussels Exposition.

Noted GermonArc
Designs Choncery Here

! The Washington architec-
tural firm of Lubin, McGaughy
& Associates has been selected
for local design and construc-
ton supervision.
Joachim Schonbeck, press
secretary at the Embassy, said
the chancery will be con-
structed on several levels to
conform to the sloping con-
tours of the Reservoir road
property.
He said the building itself
will have exterior steel columns,
natural-finiSh wood and cur
tain walls of glass. Continuous
balconies will encircle all floor
levels.
The press attache said project
representatives informed the
State Department of plans for
the chancery in January, 1860,
and consulted District coming
officials earlier this month.
A District official said local
zoning authorities had not been
notified this month that the
project was about to begin. 1t
was learned, however, that a
representative of the local con-
tracing firm had made in
quirieS on permits that the
project would require.
The German government,
because of a 1857 exemption
order approved by District Of
ficials, is not required to obtain
building authorization from the
District Board of Zoning Ad-
justment. The exemption APP
plies to property owned by
foreign governments and ear
marked for development prior
to November, 1857.

Accokeek Is Quick on the Draw

An informal posse of citizens
captured two bandits within
minutes after a $1O,516 bank
robbery at Accokeek, Md, yes
terday.
The robbery occurred at 1:30
pm. at the Accokeek branch of
the Waldorf Bank. The small
bank is located at the rural
crossroads community on In
dian Head highway, a lonely
spot that could pass as the
movie set for a Wild West
drama.
Credited with capturing two
23-year-old bandits are a hard
ware store owner, two tele-
phone company installer = re-
pairmen and a filling station
operator.
When it was over, they had
smashed windows of the ban
dts getaway car with a shot
gun blast, wounded one of them
slightly and held the pair at
bay until Prince Georges Coun-
ty and Maryland State police
arrived.
$4,000 Bond Set
County police today held
three men under $4,000 bond
each. They were charged with
two counts of armed holdup and
robbery and one count of con-
Spiracy to rob.
The third man, Carlton Will
son Dodson, "a, was picked up
by county and Metropolitan
police at his home in the 800
block of A street NE. He was
accused of having driven the
two men to the bank.
The suspects first captured
were identified by County De-
tective 1t. Earl j. Huber as
William Ferdinand Dodson and
Carol Thomas Hall, both %,
listed as unemployed car sales
men, of Warrenton, Va.
Police said Carlton Dodson
and William Dodson are first
cousins.
Expected Robbery
The posse members-Richard
L. Knowles, 26, of Clinton, Md,
and Howard McClanahan, 30;
of Temple Hills, both Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone
Co. employees; Robert w. Per-
rygo, 38, owner of the hard
ware store next door to the
bank, and Homer Gibson, so, a
filling station operator-today
said they knew the bank was q
sitting duck" for a robbery.
"We all knew that bank was
going to get robbed some day."
Mr.. Gibson said.
When the robbery began, the
telephone repairmen, Mr..
Knowles and Mr.. Mechanism,
were just leaving the bank. AS
they walked out the front door,
they saw gun in the hand of
one of the bandits.
Calls Police
Running next door to Perry
COS hardware store, Mr.. Nc
Clanahan called police. Mr..
Perrygo, meanwhile, armed
himself with a pistol and a
shotgun and handed another
shotgun to Mr.. Knowles.
Inside the bank, the robbers,
one brandiShing a .22-caliber
pistol, told Mrs. Kathleen Mil
stead, As, the teller, and Virgil
(BusteD Mattingly, SO, the
manager, to stuff all the cash
into a pillowcase. They took the
managers car keys and fled.
Looked Like Cannon
Mr.. Mattingly later said he
wondered why Mrs. Milstead
suddenly became so quiet.
when I came over to her
they stuck the gun in my
belly. 1t was little gun, &C
tually, but right then it looked

said.

Crash School Plan
Urged by Hansen
Cites DeIetion
Of New Teachers
In U. S. Budget

An immediate crash" pro-
gram is needed to give District
school children even minimum
education standards, Supt. Carl
F. Hansen warned today.
School housing capacity and
teaeher-pupil ratios must be
brought up to par, he declared,
at the same time the system at
temptS to cope with rapidly in
creaSing enrolment. To do this
the schools must be rescued
from their current fund starva-
ton, he said.
IF we fall back any one year
in construction of buildings, we
would run into a logjam of
critical shortages. The history
of this is that you never catch
up. The next years budget
never makes it up" he asserted.
1900 Part-Time Pupils
DR.. Hansen released a series
Of fact sheets for citizen groups
summarizing the school syS-
TENS current instruction and
housing plight. HighlightS of
the summary are:
More than 1900 elementary
pupils are in part-time classes
as of this month. The equiva-
lent of 249 claSSrooms is needed
to eliminate part-time school,
ing to meet predicted enroll
ment increases.
More than TAO kindergarten
children are on waiting lists to
go to school.
Slow learners, 1900 of them,
are slowing down regular classes
because the schools do not have
enough baSic-track and social
adjustment class teachers to
put them in separate classes.
Teacher-pupil ratios in ele-
mentary and Junior high schools
are below standards recon-
mended by the Board of Edu-
cation, particularly in junior
high schools.
Failure to get the teachers
necessary to hold the line here
will mean that eve will be
faced with even larger classes
next year." DR.. Hansen pointed
out.
He said eve are already be-
hind schedule" in the conStruc-
ton program, noting the delay
of the Evans Junior High and
other badly needed projects.
He termed the forced in
clusion of slow learners in reg
ular classes particularly seri-
Gus. This results in behavior
difficulties, eventual dropout
problems and the transfer to
the community of children
whose education needs have
not been met" he said.
The School Board said ISL
additional basic teachers are
needed. The District Budget
Office recommended 1877, but
there are none at all in the
budget sent to Congress yes
terday.
Cultural Funds DeIeted
The fact sheet showed that
the School Board called for rs
new elementary teachers and
the Budget Office recon-
mended &c. Yesterdays request
to Congress asked for 80 addi-
tional elementary school teach
erS.
The District Budget Office
recommendations constitute
what budget officials would
allow the schools if sufficient
District revenue were available.
DR.. Hansen said another
serious omission from the
budget was the deletion Of
matching funds for the Ford
Foundation project to improve
cultural opportunities for pu-
pills in nine schools in the
central city.
He also cited a reduction in
funds for overdue repairs to
rundown school buildings from
$350,000 requested to $4,000 in
the budget sent to the Hill.

Father of Atlas Rocket Sees
Test Series End SUCCESSFULLY

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Dec. 6 (AP) .-Karel J. Bossart
Belgium born aeronautical en-
gineer, watched proudly from
atop a missile hangar as a
great silvery projectile labored
from its launching pad.
The rocket slowly picked up
speed as its tons of fuel were
consumed by three thirsty en-
gines. Gradually 1t pitched
over on a southeast heading,
played tag with several fluffy
clouds and sped from sight.
Mr.. Bossart. known as the
father" of the 135-ton Atlas
Observation-Disclosures missile
received the good word minutes
later that this Atlas was well
on its way to a target 5000
miles down the Atlantic track
AAAb AdAlbSs
The missile, launched yester-
day, marked a milestone in the
Atlas development program. II
was the last test for Americas
premier ICBM, closing out
flight program which begar
51a years ago on the same
launching pad.
More Shots Ahead
More Aliases will be
launched, but they will be

teams, boosters for manned and
unnamed space shots and
carrier vehicles for tests OF

boosters to put up seventeen
satellites and five-ton manned
spacecraft.
Attributes Lag
IF we had continued with
the five-engine Atlas, the Rus
slams would not have been so
far ahead today" Mr.. Bossart
commented.
Despite the Air Force and
Defense Department chill, Mr..
Bossart persuaded General Dy-
namics to use its own limited
funds to continue the Atlas
program.
Atlas was redesigned to the
three-engine configuration and
the first test vehicle, with only
two engines and a dummy nose
cone, Numbered away from
Cape Canaveral on June IL,
1857.
Twenty-seven months and 20
Atlas launchings later, the mis-
sile became operational. Today
IL squadrons totaling 108 mis-
siles are war-ready. Aliases
have been used more than 80
times on successful American
space launchings. including the
orbital flights of Astronauts
John H. Glenn. Malcolm Scott
Carpenter and walter M
Schirra. More than 100 space
firings lie ahead for this rocket
which is serving until more
powerful boosters are available.

warheads and warhead decoys
Mr., Bossart recalled that At
las originally was conceived as
a much larger. vehicle, with
five main engines and takeoff
thrust of nearly 100000
pounds compared with the
present $4,000 pounds.
Therein lies an ironic twist
which enabled Russia to gain a
lead over the United States in
big boosters.
In 1916. the Air Force
awarded General Dynamics-As-
tronautics q contract to develop
an Observation-Disclosures mis-
sile capable Of hurting a nu-
clear warhead 5000 miles -
1890 miles farther than any
United States missile had
flown. The company named
Mr.. Bossart project engineer.
Because nuclear weapons
were ponderous packages In
those days. the five-engine At
las was conceived. But in l947
the Defense Department swung
an economy axe and eliminated
Atlas.
Russia, meanwhile. proceeded
full steam with development OF
an ICBM to deliver the cum
bersome payloads. AS a result
the Russians perfected a long
range rocket before the United
States, and when man deter
mined he could use such power
to explore space, Russia had the
