CORE Declares
Picketing Truce
At Drug Firm

The Washington Chapter of
the Congress of Racial Equality
has halted its picketing of
Drug Fair stores to allow the
chain a month to accelerate it's
hiring of Negroes.
Representatives of Drug Fair
and CORE met last week to
discuss the company's hiring
practices.
I'VE emphasized that Drug
Fair always has had a policy
of fair employment" said Mil
ton Elsberg, the company presi-
dent. I'VE will accelerate our
efforts to find capable people
regardless of race, color or
religion. We are going to get
some assistance from the United
States Employment Service and
the Washington Urban League. I"
CORE had charged that the
chain employed no Negro clerks,
pharmacists or managers in it's
stores. The company, however,
pointed out that it employs two
Negro pharmacists assigned to
stores in Maryland and Vir-
GINA and clerks in it's District
stores. CORE representatives
toured the chains main plant.
"We found Negroes holding
significant jobs in the main
plant" reported Warren Morse,
CORE representative who met
with the Drug Fair manage
ment. "They said they intend
to follow the same practice in
their stores and we will give
them the opportunity"

$40 Mystery Bills
Tracked to B&O

POINT OF ROCKS, Md, July
"a (AP).-State police reported
yesterday that an undetermined
number of $40 bills have been
found during the last week
along railroad tracks outside
this Western Maryland COM
munity.
Residents apparently had
been keeping quiet about find
ing bills along tracks owned by
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
and it was impossible to deter
mine how many had been
picked up. Police said they
found one of the bills yester-t
day and it was bona fide.
Residents in the area ad-,
mitted they had been finding
the bills since July IS, the po-
lice said. They said merchants
in the area tipped off the find
when they reported o number
OF persons who normally didn't
have $40 began paying off their
debts.
Police said several residents
admitted picking up as much
as 500 a day in the bills, scat
tered along a wide stretch of
the tracks.

Gen. Clarke emphasized the

Also appearing in support
of the bill was DR.. Richard
Foster, the school systems

Payment "TOO Small"
He testified the Federal pay
ment was too small to meet
school needs and told the SUBJ
committee approximately $12O
million will be needed for school
construction between 1864 and
1869. An additional $26 mil
lion, he said, is required for
additional operating costs.
Support also came from Rep
reSentative Broyhill, Repubi-
can of Virginia. In a statement,
the Northern Virginia Con-
gresham said he felt the Dis
trict was Justly entitled to
participation in the program
since Capital District schools

Two soft-spoken robbers tied
and beat two employees of the
National Laundry Co. at 2035
West Virginia avenue NE. last
night, then looted the company
safe of nearly $4,000.
Company officials told police
the safe contained money
brought in during the day by
Is to Is drivers and included
both cash and checks.
The robbery began about 10
pm. when Elmo Smith, so, of
26 Hanover street NV, a
maintenance man at the plant,
was letting a driver out the
door and preparing to lock up
for the night.

A House Education SubcOm-
mittee struggled today to de-
eide whether the District should
be brought into the Federal
observation-disclosures program
The program, started in 1850,
provides Federal funds to school
systems of areas impacted by
Federal installations. The Dis
trict, technically impacted since
the Government arrived here
in 1900, has never been in
cluded in the program.
While testifying today in
support of the legislation, En-
gineer Commissioner Frederick
j. Clarke pointed out to sub
committee members that if the
District were qualified there
was at least a chance the city
would not realize any addi-
tional revenue.
He revealed that the Dis
trict officials we're concerned
that the Federal payment might
be reduced by Congress as much
as the city would receive under
impacted aid funds-an esti-
mated 81 million.
Increase Wanted
Instead. he said, an increase
in the Federal payment-which
now stands at $50 Million.
would be far more desirable.
Several identical bills bring
ing the District into the pro-
gram are before the subcom-
mittee. headed by Representa-
tive Bailey, Democrat of West
Virginia, an author of the orig
inal legislation.
Full support Of the idea was
reported today by Wilbur Co.
hen, assistant secretary of the
Health. Education and Welfare
Department.
Mr.. Cohen testified a survey
showed approximately 80 per
cent of the children who at
tend the District schools could
be classified as "federally-con-
nected children" under terms
Of the impacted aid program.
Need Funds
He said this indicated
substantial impact on the local
school system and pointed out
that District schools were crit
ically in need of additional
funds.
Mr.. Bailey wondered if by
allowing the District to qualify
it would not reduce the entire
program which now stands az
about 1892 million.
B. Alden Lillywhite, an as
sociate director of the office
Of Education, estimated the
Districts entrance into the
program would mean a reduc-
ton of / per cent nationally.
Last summer, this factor
caused a Juror in the HOUSE

Northwest Washington resi-
dents are resorting to different
means at congressional hear
ings to keep a major highway
away from their homes.
Some told a House subcom-
mittee yesterday afternoon
they wanted to kill chances
forever of a road being built
in Glover Archbold Park
These homeowners supported a
Senate-paSSed bill to shift title
from the District to the Fed
eral government of a 100-foot
rlght-of-way at the foot of the
gorge in the woodland park.
Others were against the bill,
for fear the alternative to
a park road would be a free
way along shaded Foxhall road
where they live.
Most of the witnesses agreed
their common enemy was the
proposed Three Sisters Bridge.
The Potomac River crossing
would feed traffic into the base
of the park.

of Indiana, said home rule
might be the only way to solve
local problems.
And this prompted the re-
mark from Representative

that the city, perhaps, should
be receded to the States of
Maryland and Virginia.
