The last words that his
mother and relatives heard
Jerry Lee speak we're spoken at
noon, or a minute or two aft

went home. Mrs. Kirby re-

"Goodby, Jaime" then

James E. Brooks, 80, and Ber-
nice Moten. Al, and Georgia
Holloway, 80, officials reported.
The nephew and another man,
Lloyd Mills, who had been
visiting the house earlier and
who returned there after the
fire broke out, tried several
times to get to the victim, Mr..
johnson said.
The nephew climbed the out
side of the house to a window
in an upstairs room and man
aged to grab Mr.. Brooks, but
could not get him out. The
nephew and Mr.. Mills then put
a mattress on the ground, about
IL feet below the window, and
urged him to jump but he re-
fused, the fire marshal said.
Firemen later found his body
in the ruins of the room.
The fire marshal said the
blaze appeared to have started
in the kitchen.
Fairfax County health Off
cials today said the house twice
had been condemned and
ordered demolished.
According to John Newman,
Health Department sanitarian,
its owners were notified last
December that the house was
unfit to live in and should be
RACED. The owners, listed by
Mr.. Newman as j. Frank
Brooks and Pearl E. Thomas
of the 100 block of L street Sc.
in Washington, promised to
make improvements and the
order was deferred.
In March, Mr.. Newman said,
after another inspection, it was
determined that insufficient
Improvement had been made.
As a result, he said, condem-
nation placards were posted
July II and the occupants were
given 80 days to vacate.

Just that they could and
maybe oughta.

The
Rambler
Is
interviewed
BY JOHN McKELWAY
Q. Rambler, do you know
anything about snuff?

y. Rambler, do you know
anything about snuffP
GA Yes. Quite a lot, al
lcugh I know that may
surprise you. But I was for
tunate to receive, from the
United States Tobacco Co.
a six-page letter on snuff.
The company sent 1t along,
thinking somebody might be
interested in snuff.
@. Are you interested in
snuff?
A. No, not really. But I'm
interested in why the United
States Tobacco Co. feels it
has to send out snuff letters.
@. Well, I'm not interested
in that. What I'd like to know
is how many snuff users are
there in the United States?
A. About 6 million. They
spend about $50 million an
nually for snuff. This is
roughly "a million pounds of
snuff.
@. Can you tell us more
about the company
A. Yes. Let me give you a
direct quote from the snuff
letter. United States Tobac-
co Co., the letter says, was
formed under the name Of
Weyman-Bruton Co., in De-
cember 1911, as a conse-
quence of the dissolution by
court decree of the original
American Tobacco Co. and It's
subsidiary, American Snuff
Co.
In March 1922, Weyman-
Bruton Co. changed its name
to United States Tobacco Co.
80. Today, through its Circus
Foods and LummiS & Co. di-
visions, the company also
manufacturers in San Fran
cisco and Philadelphia pack
aged and canned nuts, pea
nut butter and candy bars.

The letter was addressed to
Representative Fallon, Demo-

man Of the House Subcom-
mittee on Public Roads. Copies
of the letter were sent to all
Virginia Congressman, includ-
ing Representative Smith, Rules
Committee chairman.
Mr.. Fallon has been holding
hearings to determine how
metropolitan areas have re-
Sponded to legislation requiring
a comprehensive. cooperative
transportation planning proc
eSS for eligibility for Federal
aid for highways. Highway
supporters have appeared be-
fore the subcommittee to pro-
test against the planning
process used by the National
Capital Transportation Agency,
leading to its recommendations
that the bridge not be built.
The Davis letter supplements
one written last January by
Virginias Gov. Harrison, which
informed the transportation
agency that the commonwealth
Of Virginia, "is not opposed to
rapid transit"
Bridge Backed
The lengthy letter, which was
never officially, released put
the State Government officially
behind the Three Sisters bridge.
Gov. Harrison said his admins
tration objected to the claims
put forth by the transportation
agency that a rapid transit
system would seriously cut the
need for highways.

month, told Mr.. Fallon:

Drop-Out Rate
Decreasing in /.
PrinceGeorges
Enrolment Rose
At High Schools
In Same Period
BY PETER MASLEY
Star Staff Writer

Fewer students now are
dropping out of Prince Georges
County high schools although
enrollments have been rapidly
rising, board of education
figures show.
According to a report by the
school staff, the high school
drop-out rate has decreased
from So per cent in 1959-60 to
Al per cent in 1852.
At the same time enrolment
jumped from 1883 to 1926
in the 13 senior high schools.
The problem of school drop
outs has taken on increasing
significance in recent years. At
yesterdays press conference,
President Kennedy termed
drop-outS a serious national
problem" and said he was set
ting aside emergency money for
a program of guidance counsel
ing designed to keep students
in schools.
100000 Won't Go Back
He estimated 100000 students
will not go back to school this
fall and another 100000 who
do return will not finish the
year.
School Supt. William S..
Schmidt said the drop-out de-
crease in Prince Georges County
has resulted through counsel
ing and adaptation of the
curriculum to suit the needs of
these youngsters
He also said, IT think they re-
alize themselves that they have
to have at least a high school
education to get a decent job
and I think there's been in
creasing parental support"
During the three school years
under study, 1924 students left
school-more than so per cent
of them at or older than the
mandatory school age of 16.
ssI Were Girls
About 10 per cent dropped
out because of marriage and
S per cent for military service,
the study shows. OF the 1884
Withdrawals. 991 were girls.
Individual high schools had
drop-out rates varying from
"a per cent Of their enroll
ments to 2 per cent. All but
one Of them had lower rates
in 1961-62 than in 1959-6O.
The report also showed that
81 drop-outs returned to school
after they had left.
Mr.. Schmidt said the with
drawal figures for the 1923
school year are being compiled
and will be released later this
summer,
