show here as launching a
Nationwide campaign along
tie same lines.
The show probably will be
held at Constitution Hall, and
will feature film and other en-
tertainment personalities.
The project was announced
after a meeting in Mr.. Ken
nedy'S office of the sponsoring

tee and a group of civic lead

Miss Flake Pinkett are CO.
chairmen Of the newly created
committee.
Mrs. John F. Kennedy and
Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy are
honorary chairmen.

and appropriated $3.50, 900 from
his emergency fund for coun-
selling services for dropouts.

Alexandra ~ Officials
Quit Over RocioI Bars

The two top officials of the
Alexandria Young Mems Chris
tian Association have quit be-
cause the Alexandria Y does
not accept Negroes.
Donald E. Jameson, chair
man of the committee Of man
agement. and Alfred C. Hav-
ems. jr.. executive director, have
both resigned.
Fred D. Carl, acting general
secretary for the YMCA Of the
National Capital Area, said the
other nine US in the area, as
well as the two camps and two
schools which the Y runs, all
are integrated.
Mr.. Carl stressed that 1t is
the policy Of the National Y
and of the organization at the
National Capital Area that the
Y should be open to all.
Local Autonomy Provided
However, Mr.. Carl said, the
committee of management of
each branch has local auton-
omy in its rules.
Mr.. Carl said the question
came up at a meeting Of the
committee Of management July
30, and was referred to a trus-
tee group whose chairman is
James M. Thomson, Delegate
from Alexandria TO the Vir-
ginia General Assembly.
Mr.. Carl said j. Morrison

Of the Y of the National
Capital Area, Edward Tomb,
executive director Of the Cen
trail Atlantic Area OF the ma
tional council Of the Y. and
himself met with the trustees
wednesday, but there has been
no further action.
No Separate Facility
The Alexandria Y, at 400
East Monroe avenue, has re-
sidence facilities and a SWIM
ming pool. There is no sep
arate facility for Negroes in
Alexandria.
Mr.. Carl said. 1T is the pol
icy and practice Of the board

tiles which are directly under

her Mrs. BankS-explained she
had come to get Linda - or
June - or Edward - back in
school. Usually, she was in
vited in.
She is one of dozens of school
counselors visiting homes this
month in the Districts drive to
get potential and actual school
dropouts back into classrooms
this fall.
Shaw is one of the schools
with a high rate Of dropouts.
Mrs. Banks, a former teacher
who became a counselor a year
ago, knows most of the stu
dents.
In two hours yesterday
morning, she visited four
homes and saw only two pros
poets personally. From them,
she extracted, by a combination
Of friendly interest, coaxing
and admonition, promises to
try going back to school, in
return for special efforts to
help them. She won similar
assurances from the families
Of two others.
Door Opens Slowly
The day before, she spent
four hours and saw three pros
poets.
Her first call yesterday, at
9:45 am, was on a 151a-year-
old unwed mother recently re-
leased from juvenile detention
for truancy.
"She's asleep" said the girls
barefoot mother. Mrs. Banks
accepted that, but explained
she wanted to set up a pro-
gram for Wanda so "she will
like school and stay in school"
She was invited upstairs to a
sparsely furnished living room,
but Wanda never appeared.
Wanda has a good mind,
and I certainly would like to
see her go on and graduate.
Mrs. Banks said.
"She was in the seventh grade
but If we give her an eighth.
grade placement, do you thinl
she would come to see me il
my office q few days q week 81
3 o'clock, so I can help her?'
Mrs. Banks asked.
The mother said she thought
so.
Children Answer Door
Half a dozen youngsters re-
sponded to her knock at the
SCOTS, whom she described as
an involved family with several
illegitimate children, a history
Of not finishing school and
known to the courts.
Betty, a 15-year-old who
does plan to go back to school,
acted as spokesman. AS to her
older sisters returning to class.
she shook her head: mo,
ma'am. they wouldn't have
anyone to take care of the
children"
A girl Of about 10 was dis
patched to the depths of the
house to ask one teen-ager
specifically about going back
to school.
"She said even If she wanted
to go back, she couldn't right
now because she is pregnant
again." the child returned to
report matter-of-factly.
Alice says she will come
back after the baby is born"
reported another messenger.
Mrs. Banks turned her
attention to Ernest, a 16-year-
old who was in a social ad-
justment class before he
dropped out. He was said to
be asleep, but she asked the
children to wake him.
"You know who is interested
in him? The President" said
Mrs. Banks. He is sending us

ton set up for the study and
treatment of birth defects.
At the center, trained spe-
cialists work together to help
children with many kinds of
birth defects. They include a
neurosurgeon, orthopedic sur
geon, internist, psychiatrist,
physical therapist and medical
social worker. They have put
their skilled hands and minds
to work on Johnny's behalf.
Every four months, Johnny's
mother drives him to the center
for his check-up. A doctor al
ways measures his head to
make sure there is no change
in size. Since 1859, his head
size has remained relatively
constant.
Johnny is growing up to be an
impish, energetic and friendly
little boy who likes to do every
thing and go everywhere. Espe-
cially, he likes to wheedle rides
on a pony at the next farm.
He'll settle, though, for a tour
on the tractor with his mother
or father, Julia and John Viii
son.
Like Johnny, other afflicted
children who receive proper
treatment may live to enjoy
shooting cap pistols, watching
television, singing songs OF
playing a toy banjo-with the
best of four-year-oldS.

Al his fourth birthday
party, Johnny Wilson's big
blue eyes sparkled as his
mother carried in the most
magnificent cake he had
ever seen.
It was shaped like a huge
boat blowing its way through
mountainous waves of whipped
cream and icing. Johnny's win
some smile beamed at friends
and he gave out kisses all
around.
1t was a happy affair. Yet at
one time, Johnny's parents had
little hope he would live to
celebrate even his first birth
day. For he was born with the
often fatal birth defect of wa
ter on the brain, or hydro
cephalus.
Surgical treatment saved
Johnny's life when he was
three months old. At that time
doctors performed what is
known as a shunt operation
They inserted in Johnny's heao
a plastic tube which allowed
excess fluid from the brain Il
