A story-book romance will
come to pass in Washington
next week when Goldie, q 100
pound petite tawny blond with
a gentle, loving nature, will fly
in from New York to meet her
life's mate for the first time.
Goldie and her mate-to-be
are both from New Mexico but
have never met. She is a no
body; he is world famous. But
they have a lot in common and
their romance was arranged by
important men Of the United
States and New Mexico state
governments.
It has even been arranged

lack Of respect for the police

Miss Orrison said the COM
mission will soon begin using
an IBM machine to tabulate
the mountain of data being
accumulated on all felonies
committed in 1862. The study
will enable the commission to
tabulate felonies by types, han
ding by courts and police, and
the disposition Of the case.
On the same program, James

LANGUAGE PUPILS HERE
Mexican Boys Find Yankee Woes
By DAVID BRAATEN
star Staff Writer

Imagine three 15-year-old
boys from Mason City, Iowa,
who speak nothing except Eng
lish, stepping off q plane in
Mexico City with $500. Then
you'll appreciate the situation
in which Jaime Sanchez, Jose
Rodriguez and Rodolfo Higuera
found themselves not long ago.
Sons Of well-to-do profess
sional men in the little town Of
Ciudad Victoria, about 200
miles north Of Mexico City, the
boys were shipped up here last
month to learn English at the
English Language Services
school, 1708 II street NV.
At the last minute, their par
ents couldn't make the trip with
them, so the boys showed up at
Friendship Airport, with suit
cases packed for a six-month
stay, a check for $2,700 and
5000 apiece in Yankee dollars.
Fortunately, someone had
had the foresight to notify the
school of their coming. Two in
structors were on hand to keep
the boys from being led astray
by a sly slicker.
Since then, the boys have
been spending four hours a day
studying English with books
and tape recordings, about an
hour a day in Siestas Except
for Jose, who claims to have
outgrown the CUSTOM and the
rest of their time just spending.
The $2,700 check went for

stiles, and the boys 5000

School Bus Driver Sparks
Grade Crossings Crusade

Six unguarded railroad cross

County's new Matapoh Ele-

buses.
And some Of the pupils will
be driven across the tracks four
times every school day.
Nelson Billings1ey, a school

Mr.. Billingsley has an g.

Disrespect for Police
Shown on Rise Here

A growing disrespect for the
forces Of law in the District Is
indicated in a preliminary re-
port by the Citizens Crime
Commission of Metropolitan
Washington.
The report. scheduled to be
released within two weeks, is
part Of a year-long study being
made by the commission of all
felonieS in the District.
Miss Sally Orrison, execu-
tive director Of the commission,
discussed the study today on
"Cityside," a television inter-
view on WTOP tapped last
week.
After the interview she said
the commission had nearly fin
ished an intensive study of as
saults upon police officers since
January /. 1t was discovered
that the large percentage Of
assaults occurred in the pro-
cess Of making an arrest for
some minor offense.

action has been taken by his
office leading to clearing away
growth or banks that obstruct
the view of drivers on the
crossing approaches.
County School Supt. william
Schmidt, however, said the rail-
road previously had been asked
to slow its trains to 5 miles an
hour at the worst crossing-the
one closest to Mataponi School.
The railroad replied this
would not be practical but
agreed to instruct its engineers
to approach the crossings at a
speed no greater than 10 miles
an hour, Mr.. Schmidt said.

Smith, IL, Of Ais Dewmar
court, Kensington, had gone
rowing in a borrowed boat.
Kai's mother, Mrs. James w.
Schrodt, said her son and his
friend had reached the duck
blind, tied up the boat and
climbed onto the platform. But
the painter came loose and the
boat started to drift toward
shore in a brisk wind. She said
her son, a competent swimmer
and skin diver, started to
swim after the boat to retrieve
it but was unable to catch up.
Shouts for Help
Soon he began struggling in
the water and shouting for help.
Stephen, who was still on the
duck blind platform, also began
to call for help. Stephen said
Kai went under once and ap-
peared to be weakening when
the calls were heard by the two

Not on Regular Runs
Both Of the fathers express
concern over the fact that the
railroad trains are not on regu-
lar schedules, but send freight
cars over the lines sporadically
to serve the Naval Propellant
Plant at Indian Head and the
Patuxent Naval Air Station at
Cedar Point.
Furthermore, traffic on the
line will be increased with the
opening of the new Potomac
Electric & Power Co. steam
generating plant at Chalk
Point on the Patuxent River,
which must be fed by carloads
of coal.
For these reasons, Mr.. Billing
sley says, it's difficult to know
when a train will be passing the
intersections.
The county school admins
tration sent its supervisor Of
transportation, John Helm, into
the area to look at the crossings
and determine what relief could
be provided.
