founders Of the Council of
Governments, which presently
includes IL of the IL major
city and county governments
in the Washington area. He is
now vice chairman of the
organizations executive board
County supervisor, Anne A.
wilkins, is out of town.
To Raise Charges
The Council of Governments
recently has been criticized by
a member of the Alexandria
City Council. Members of three
other local governments have
indicated they also intend to
make similar charges when
proposals for the congressional
charter are considered by their
boards.
Three regional or "sub-re-
gional" organizations are wor-
ried about the moves by the
Of the Council of
Governments. The Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the
Northern Virginia Regional
Planning and Economic Devel-
opment Council both are vi
gorous supporters of the re-
gional planning council, and
both opposes moves by the
Council Of Governments to
make it eligible to receive Fed
eral planning grants.
But the Federal Aid Highway
Act Of 1862 states that failure
to have an improved regional
planning process carries with
1t a penalty Of less of all
matching funds, both for pri-
mary and interstate highways,
after 1885," the Senator said.

For the past seven weeks, 81
selected District junior high
school pupils have helped 40
teachers from 16 States learn
how to become more competent
instructors Of French and
Spanish.
The pupils and teachers have
been partners in the eight-week
Summer Language Institute for
secondary school teachers OF
French and Spanish at How
ard University. 1t was conduc-
ted for the second consecutive
year by Howard In corpora

Another feature of the in

the study of the relationship
Of languages to their cultures.
The teachers were introduced
to the folkways, mores, history
and civilizations of French and
Hispanic peoples.

Friends Gun Kills Boy
In Mt. Rainier Accident

A l0-year-old Mount Rainier
boy was shot and killed yes
terday by a 12-year-old play
mate, Prince Georges County
police repo ted.
John William Updike, jr.,
was fatally shot by % caliber
rifle bullet after he and two
playmates had been shooting
at trees IN a field near Cottage
City, police said.
A 12-year-old boy from
Brentwood was putting the last
shell the boys had into the
Winchester repeater just as
John was stooDinJ to retrieve
a shoe which had come off,
police said.
The GIN went off and the
bullet struck John in his right
side, according to Capt. Earl j.
Huber, county detective chief.
He was pronounced dead at
the scene by DR.. John Kehoe,
county med4caI examiner.
The rifle haG been obtained
earlier by the third boy, an IL
year-old from Mount Rainier.
1t was owned by his grand
father and was taken without
the lattsr'S knowledge, Capt.
Huber saII. The grandfather,
without knowing of the shoot
ing, hal called Mount Rainier
police to report the gun miss
ing, the detective chief added.
The shooting occurred about
$3.50 pm. in a field about a
quarter-mile west of Bladens-
burg road where it crosses the
AnacoStia River.
The other boys, who re-
enacted the shooting after
ward, told police they thought
they had used up all their shells
and were leaving when one
of them found an extra bullet
in his pocket.

time Commission and the Ma
tional Science Foundation.
The Custom Bureau, with its
long experience in catching
smugglers, quickly discovered
that a District inspector was in
their nine-story building and
about to close off the elevator
service.
The inspector repeatedly told
his superiors in the Department
Of Licenses and Inspections
later that he had hesitated to
shut down the elevators be-
cause of the presence Of Fed
eral guards.
Deny Federal Guards Called
However, Philip Nichols, jr.,
commissioner of the Bureau Of
Customs, denied that any Fed
eral guards had been called out
to protect the elevator ma
chinery.
He conceded, however, that
"the inspector may have got
ten the impression that guards
would be summoned If it proved
necessary to protect the ele-
vator machinery"
The crisis at the Customs
Building was finally received
when the General Services Ad-
ministration, landlord for most
Federal agencies, rushed a
voucher for $40 to the District
Building to pay the overdue
bill for the elevator certificates.
Mr.. Nichols later wrote a let
ter to the District Building say
ing that If the attempt to close
down the elevators had sue
ceeded, there would have been
utter chaos and nearly 100 per
cent stoppage Of the work Of
the Bureau Of Customs, which
occupies all the building.
Closed Down One Building
1.-THE Centennial Building at
1921 H Street NV. a District
inspector moved rapidly and
succeeded in closing down the
three elevators in this six-story
building.
David Shapiro an attorney
for the owners Of the building,
said that some of the Gov
eminent officials in this build
ing were extremely annoyed
about the lack Of elevator
service"
He added that the building
engineer said he was told that
IL he attempted to restore ele-
vator service before the bill
had been paid. police would
be called.
After q one-hour elevator
shutdown at the Centennial
Building. the District got its
money and service was re-
stored.
Engineer Com m issioner
Charles M. Duke, who has
supervision over the Depart
ment Of Licenses and Inspec-
tons. described the elevator
clash as a misunderstanding.
II am awfully sorry that this
thing apparently got out Of
hand. I am going to review
carefully the question Of what
the Districts position should
be when bills for elevator
certificates have not been paid
in buildings occupied by Fed
eral agencies"

The
Rambler
-. Breaks
The Rules
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

One day in the early
twenties a young reporter on
the Chicago Daily News ask
ed Paul Scott Mowrer, the
distinguished war corre-
spondent, for a word of guild
ance.
First" said Paul to the
young man, learn the rules;
then learn how to break
them" C"Deadlines," by Hen
ny Justin Smith; Covici-
MCGEE, Chicago, 1922
Think that one over. It's
more than a silly paradox.
It's a word of wisdom.
The true artist learns the
rules before he breaks them.
Perhaps you remember sur
realist Salvador Dali's loaf
of bread, which appeared as
a cover picture on Time-a
triumph of drawing. Dali
learned to draw before he
started draping watches
like pancakes over limbs OF
trees.
A very important news
paper rule is that there is
nothing amusing about sex
or religion or national ORR
gins.

The pupils will re, i've GER
tificates tomorrow for their
participation in the institute
The teachers will receive GER
tificates Of completion as well
as eight hours graduate credit
when the institute ends August
10.
DR.. Morgan explained that
the language institute met a
very real need because interest
in language learning has in
creased high school enrollments
IN these subjects and good,
competent teachers are in short
supply"
Called Better
Language teaching in the
District is better than in some
adjacent areas" DR.. Morgan
said. "A lot of people teaching
now don't have sufficient
training and their command OF
the language is almost zero be-
cause the emphasis on their
training has been professional
education courses other than
certified minimum hours In
language teaching"
Because of the National De-
Tense Education Act language
institutes, DR.. Morgan said
language teaching will improve
and students will realize that
language learning can be ar
enjoyable part of ones educa-
ton. Since 1858, about SO pei
cent Of the country's language
teachers have had the language
institute training. DR.. Morgan
said.

The Washington area can

and inaccurate statements" de.
stroy the effectiveness of the
Metropolitan Washington
Council Of Governments, Vir-
ginia State Senator Charles
r. Fenwick said today.
He said it was unfortunate"
that the suggestion for a con-
gressional charter for the coun-
Gil of governments has been
injected into politics. and sub
jected to distorted and I'M
founded charges"
A change in the Federal
highway legislation is the basic
reason why local governments
have to establish a regional
transportation planning proc
ess. Mr.. Fenwick said in a
statement. The move by the
Council of governments is not
a power fight with anyone, I"
and will not destroy the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission nor its subsidiary, the
Regional Planning Council, the
Senator said.
Keystone to Unity
Mr.. Fenwick also stated that
he personally felt the regional
planning process should have
a policy committee composed
Of one representative from each
local government. together with
one representative of the plan
ming commission and one rep
resentative each from sub-re-
gional planning organizations
in Maryland and Virginia.

terday, quite by accident, /
found myself lunching at
Hammers with three of the
best storytellers of my &C
quaintance.
George Flynn, a public re-
lations man, started with a
true story that had the ele-
1nent of ethnic tragedy
which makes Shylock's role
in ShakeSpeare'S Merchant
of Venice" so moving.
Briefly, Georges story was
that when a young reporter
in New Haven he brought an
action in Small Claims
Court against a merchant
named Ginsburg for refund
of $40 paid for an unsatisfac-
tory water heater.
George was warmly greet
ed on all sides when he en-
tered the courtroom. 1t was
his beat. He had helped to
arrange the appointment of
the judge on the bench, an
Irish : American Democrat
named Gaffney. A lawyer
named O'Connor shook
George by the hand ard Of
.fered to prosecute the claim
gratuitously.
In the middle of the pres
entation of Georges case,
Judge Gaffney banged the
gavel. He announced that
he would not have to hear
any more about it; he was
finding for the plaintiff.
AS the defendant was writ
ing out a check Nfor $41.50
(the judgment plus court
costs) on the clerks desk he
was heard to mutter:
Flynn, O'Connor, Gaffney,
Ginsburg, Justice!"
THE SECOND storyteller
at the table was Con-
gresham Jack Shelley from
California, who will be elect
ed Mayor of San Francisco
this fall.
Jack told about the aes-
thetic and somewhat severe
old Irish Catholic pastor and
his young assistant who
were opening Christm a S
presents in the rectory be-
fore the midnight mass.
The young priest was de-
lighted when he came upon
a pair of thick Turkish tow
els but, when he unfolded
them, was dismayed to find
them embroidered His" and
Hers"
Perhaps we had better
give them to the next couple
that comes to the church to
be married, Father" he said
sadly.
But the pastor said:
mo. Let's keep them until
we see what the Ecumenical
Council is going to do"

Latin american RGbbiS Decide
To Set Up R0bbiHHc0I Seminary

BOGOTA (JTA)-The Union
of Orthodox Rabbis of Latin
America decided to establish a
rabbinical seminary in Buenos
Aires to train Orthodox rabbis
and teachers for all Latin
American countries. The dcci-
sion was one of the resolutions
adopted at the closing session
of a six-day conference attend
ed by 18 rabbis representing 10
countries.
Rabbi Abraham Hershberg Of
Mexico City, who was elected
president of the organization,
will shortly fly to Buenos Aires
to implement the resolution.
The rabbis also acted to
strengthen religious educa-
ton in all Latin American
countries. The goal of seek
ing to unite all Orthodox
Jewish communities in the
countries was approved.
The rabbis voted also to ac-
cept an offer of the Israeli
Ministry for Religious Affairs
to send students to Israel to be
trained as rabbis and educators
for their native countries. A
plan was approved to prepare
religious literature in Spanish
and to open special headquar-
ters for travelling rabbis visit
