Final Argument Heard
In Sword Damage Suit }

Quantico, Va, failed to make
sure that the sword dance
would be safe for spectators.
The case was argued in Alex
andria Federal Court before
Judge Oren r. Lewis. The
Swetnams originally asked
100000 but lowered the
amount during the trial.
In other testimony yester-
day, Mrs. Swetnam stated she
now suffers severe head pains
and sees little black dots" be-
fore her eyes. She said her
skull was fractured in the &C
cident, which occurred during
a Hawaiian luau party at the
club on April 9, 1860.
When Maj. Swetnam took
the stand to describe how he
raised his hand in an effort to
ward off the 17-inch blade.
his voice quavered and his wife,
sobbing, was allowed to leave
the courtroom.
The blade struck Mrs. SWEET
nam in the forehead when 1t
slipped out of a sword handle
during the whirling, slashing
dance, the court was told. ~
Judge Lewis deferred a ruling
in the suit pending the filing
of additional legal briefs.

Life Sentence

The Court of Appeals yester-

a Negro sentenced to life i'm

Gordon Leon Contee, now Is

had received a life sentence
in the case.
In December 1859, he was
convicted by a Montgomery

Jurors were not questioned
about race prejudice.

the members OF the Anne
Arundel County jury should
have been polled individually
on their racial prejudices.
The attorneys argued that
Judge Benjamin Nicholson

questions they had posed for
the jurors instead of asking a
general question on the subject
of racial bias and prejudice.
The court said it was clear
to the jurors that the accused
was Negro and the victim white

Unfair Profit
Indicated on
Jet Fighter
BY the Associated Press

The controller general says
two firms will make "unearned
profits" of $1,571, 100 unless the
Air Force rejects excessive cost
estimates for vital portions OF
the F-101 jet fighter.
The accounting watchdog for
Congress identified the COM
panies as the Mcdonnell Air
craft Corp, st. Louis, prime
contractors for the supersonic
aircraft, and the Temoco Elec-
tronicS & Missiles Co., SUBJ
Sidiary of Ling-Temco-Vou
Inc, Dallas.
The controller said Temco
was subcontractor for fuselage
assemblies for a large share of
the 807 F-101s ordered from
Mcdonnell.
The excessive" cost eSti-
mates stemmed from original
target prices for the assemblies
made by Temco and accepted
by the prime contractor and
later by the Air Force itself,
the controller said.
The report, made after an
investigation of the negotiated
fixed-price incentive contracts,
said Temco's original target
proposals were "overstated and
that current, complete and cor
rect cost and pricing informa-
ton was not furnished during
the subcontract target nego-
tiations.

after his investigation got un'

Montgomery County can full
| fill the greatest opportunity 1t
ever had" if it works for the
establishment of a space-age
science oriented university,
County Councilman Stanley r.
Frosh said last night.
Mr.. Frosh said the idea Of
establishing such a school had
been growing for years in sew
eral circles with nobody to put
it together" until it became a
project of the Science Council
of the county's Chamber Of
Commerce.
Along with a procession OF
scientists and educators, Mr..
Frosh told the chamber mem
bers that there was a demon
strated need for such a uni
versity to provide opportunity
for advanced study by scien-
lists in Government and pri-
vate industry.
He also said that there was
need among county high
school graduates for this type
of institution. After the 1868
graduations, he said, there will
not be enough seats in all of
Maryland's colleges to provide
for Montgomery high school
graduates alone.
To Lay Groundwork
Mrs. Elaine Lady of Bethesda
said there we're about $4,000
seats in Maryland colleges, and
the national average would re-
quire the State to have $4,000
college berths.
DR.. Margaret Snow, chair
man of the chambers Univer-
sity Committee, said that sub
committees of educators, bust
nessmen, architects and scien-
lists would be set up within a
month to lay the groundwork
for the university project.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cole, a men,
Der of the State Board of Edu-
cation, cautioned the chamber
on being too optimistic. You
are thinking enormously big, I"
she said. Only one or two uni
versities have been IS art e d

in recent years, she said, and
the costs were astronomical.

Prince Edward
NegJroGranfed
Enrolment

A 14-year-old Negro from
Prince Edward County, Va, will
be enrolled in an Alexandria
public school this week with
the State paying most Of his
tuition.
Admission Of the boy, Larry
Hines, to the sixth grade at
Lyles Crouch Elem en- tary
School was approved last night
by the Alexandria School
Board, which voted unanimous
ly to waive a school regulation
requiring students to reside
with either a parent or a guar
dian.
The boy is living with Mr.
and Mrs. Andrew Frey Of 32S
Cameron street. Mr.. Frey, a
clerk with the United States
Court of Appeals in the Dis
trict, told the board he was
mot here to crusade" but
simply wanted the child ad-
mitted to a school. Lyles-
Crouch is a Negro school.
Mr.. Frey described the boy
as a very bright and we'll
behaved child who has missed
three years of education. Prince
Edward schools were closed in
1859, leaving almost all OF the
county's 1,700 Negro children
without formal education.
Many Applications
School Supt. T. C. Williams
recommended admittance Of
the boy although he said the
city has received a great many
applications to enroll the chill
dren of parents residing ir
nearby Fairfax County "lr
those cases, the children have
a school to attend" he said
But this is an exceptional.
case"
The board discussed waving
the tuition as well until Mr.
Williams noted that the State
will pay the largest share OF
the cost. The annual tuition
for a child in an Alexandria
elementary school is $3.50. The
child's parents can apply for a
State tuition grant of $3.50 a
year.
Mr.. Frey told reporters later
that he met the boy through an
organization to which he was
referred by the Friends Service
Committee. He called the COM
mittee after reading about the
Prince Edward situation IN
newspapers, he said.
Vaccination Waiver Denied
Mr.. Frey said he could not
recall the name of the organl-
cation which chose the child
and will pay part of the boys
tuition.
In other action, the board re-
fused to waive a regulation re-
curing a smallpox vaccination
of school children. The waiver
was requested by Mrs. James
H. McDermott Of 1905 Pow
hatan street, who said that sh'
is a Christian Scientist anC
opposes the vaccination on re
J ligious grounds.
The boards unanimous re-
fusal came after Mr.. Williams
read a letter from DR.. Thomas
F.. McGough, Alexandria health
director, who said that "tht
; health of the com m u n lII
should be considered para
mount and no exception should
be made"
On a motion by member
James A. Donovan, the boarc
: also declined to refer the mat
ter to the State Board OF Edu'
cation and the Department o.
Health, which can issue thu
waiver.
According to school officials
the child, Leonie, attended thu
first grade at Theodore Ficklir
School until she was dismissed
on October 4 after her parents
were given 80 DAYS notice.
