There was an urgency about

The Paramount people had

for depreciation.
While the total amount in
volved compared to the total
annual depreciation charges of
about $2.5 million is relatively
small, the company. as OF
November 80, 1862 had netted
nearly 100000 from the sale
of used cars since october /,
1859.

the Car Barn, If they could
have been sold for $4,000 each
rather than the SITS they went

recreational and other uses)

$16O, 900 more. This amount.
might have been reduced some

Car Barn Need Cited
During hearings before the

corning a fare increase, a COM
pany official testified that the
Navy Car Barn was needed to
preserve the value Of the cars

THAT THIS PERIOD of
largely extremist debate Is
rapidly reaching an end
seems recently to. have be-
come evident.
The most pronounced de-
velopment supporting this
view is the ever-more-
sophisticated interest in re-
newal issues being taken by
the Controller General Of
the United States, Joseph
Campbell, and by a group Of
staff officials Of the General
Accounting Office.
: An official Of that agency
said yesterday:
urban renewal is so big
we have great difficulty get
ting on top Of it. But we
have concluded the work
can be broken down into
about 80 phases, and we
are approaching it on that
basis"
One result of a long
needed objective review by
this responsible agency con-
cerned with the legal valid
ity Of Federal programs was
q report to Congress on re-
newal a month ago.
One Of It's Recommended
ions urged renewal officials
to be satisfied with less per-
vasive power TO take over
buildings and areas for re-
1ewal treatment.
Under the agency's
(URA) current criteria L.
q city may, with Urban Re
ilewal Administration APP
proval, designate any Of It's
buildings as 'substandard'
and schedule such buildings
for demolition even though
far less costly methods Of
urban renewal may accom-
plish the detectives of the
urban renewal legislation"
the Controller General
pointed out.
As Mr.. Campbell seemed
TO imply in his statement,
the exercise Of such power
would be intolerable in the
United States. Thus his re-
port appears to be q clear
call from an objective source
for q more prudent course.

each. The company has sold
similar cars for about $4,000
each, to foreign transit sys-
TENS, but those sales involved
fewer than 100 cars. When
Streetcar service ended here In
January 1862, the company
had slightly more than 400

3. Leased the car barn, after
some remodeling, to the Cen

The release Of the car barn
from transit operations means
that the income from the rent
does not benefit the farepayers

other operating revenues. 1t
goes, in accounting parlance,
below the line" which means
that the stockholders benefit
from it. This is approved
practice with other properties
which have been shifted out
of transit operations.
The income from the sale Of
used cars, however, has beer
treated by the WMATC as
partial offset to depreciation
charges on other properties
which the transit riders pay
In other words, the more

Arlington Opposes
Private School Bias
Board to Deny
Permit to Those
Barring Negroes
BY BRIAN KELLY
Star Staff Writer

Four of the five Arlington
County Board members indi-
Gated yesterday that the board
will impose a policy Of nom
discrimination upon Arling-
tons 100 private schools
through the device of use per-
mits.
This development became
clear when spokesman for six
privately operated schools ap-
peared before the Board to
seek the use permits, which
must be granted annually II the
school is to stay in business.
When the spokesman for the
first school, st. Coletta School
for Handicapped and Retarded
children at 4761 Old Dominion
drive, presented his application.
board member Roye Lowry
asked if the facility was open to
Negroes.
1t was, and q use permit
was granted.
But the next applicant, Mrs.
Mary L. Balls, ran into q snag
on her request for permission
to run a nursery and kinder
garten for is children at 1901
North Rolfe street.
In reply to Mr.. Lowry's SINH
lar question to her, Mrs. Balls,
director Of the kindergarten,
at first said her school would
be limited to white children.
The board member then said
he would vote against approval
Of her application, on grounds
that segregated facilities in
in the Nations current racial
crisis are a source Of potential
trouble such as demonstra-
tons and threats to public
safety.
Chairman Thomas w. Rich
ards said he would support Mr..
Lowry, and board member
Ralph Raul said he too would
support racial equality, but not
because he feared demonstra-
tons in Arlington.
The applicant then asked.
suppose she did accept Negro
children?"
Mr.. Lowery asked II tn t
meant no discrimination. Mrs.
Balls replied the school def
nitely would be open to all
races. The use permit then was
granted.
Board member Leo Urbanski,
jr., also voted to grant her use
permit, but warned that the
boards action should not be
construed as a policy stand.
He said If the board was to
adopt a policy against segre-
gated private schools it must
wait until mentioning Vice
Chairman Ernest Wilt could
take part in the discussion.
Four other private school
snnkeSnen aoneared and an
swered Mr.. Lowry's question
about discrimination. Each was
granted a permit after saying
there would be no discrimina-
ton in the schools.
Later Mr.. Urbanski said there
were more than 100 private
schools in Arlington County
ranging from parochial schools
to day nurseries.

ONE OF THE REAL prob
lens, until recently, is that
almost the entire dialogue
on this question-limited Is
that dialogue has been
has been cast in extremes.
Part Of the reason for
that Is that officialdom In
volved in directing urban
renewal has been extraor-
dinarily reactive to criticism
and eager to conclude that
all those who have ques-
toned phases Of the pro-
gram are its unqualified
enemies.
On the other hand, it is
true that much Of the criti-
cism has come from two
biased sources: a. those
personally Disadvantage by
renewal activity, and (2)
those ideologically laissez-
faire elements who see no
gain in even a limited Fed
eral program.
Considering the nature of
this opposition, it has been
no great problem for the
Urban Renewal Administra-
ton to discount much Of
the criticism and thus avoid
confronting an objective re-
view.
For the vast middle
ground available in this
thus-far-fee debate has
been largely unnamed.
This has been partly be-
cause persons not directly
affected feel urban renewal
could not possibly be Of deep
concern to them, partly be-
cause Of the extreme COM
plexity of the entire subject,
and partly because Congress
never has taken time to
discover what its legislation
has wrought.

charged two Of the boys with
discharging illegal fireworks.
The other two were charged
under q general section Of the
State code bringing them I'M
der the jurisdiction Of the Ju-
venile Court.
Convinced that the youths
knew nothing about how Mr..
Grimsley died. the police ques-
toned their witnesses again but
learned nothing new.
Then the police tested the
possibility that q canoe had
collided accidentally with Mr..
Grimsley. Police Pvt. Paul
Downey. an experienced skin
diver. held a watermelon under
water while a canoe manned
by four volunteer life guards
ran over II.
Differ on Tests
Opinions on the result Of
the tests differed. DR.. William
Enos. q pathologist, said q Ca
noe could have caused the in
juries to Mr.. Grimsley. DR..
Claude Cooper, the county med
ical examiner, said a blow like
that Mr.. Grimsley suffered
would have smashed the melon
instead Of merely putting q
five-inch cash in 1t.
Police Chief William L. Dur
rer said he leans toward the
theory that the death was an
accident. He admitted wryly
that he does not know how 1t
happened but feels that some
how, by logged legwork, the
mystery will be solved.

which the four youths had
been seen. Police said at first
they thought Mr.. Grimsley
might have been struck by a
paddle.
? After running down q num-
Der Of false leads. the police
found the youths, who ad-
mitted padding past the SWIM
mers and launching a cherry
bomb with a metal frame
slingshot. The police gave lie
detector tests TO each of the
boys and said the tests con-
firmed their denials that they
knew anything about Mr..
Grimsley's death.
The boys told the inveSti-
gators that after they launched
the cherry bomb they padded
around q headland and after
a while padded back. They
pulled close TO the beach when
they saw the lights from cars,
Two Of them waded ashore
unnoticed. There the boys saw
Mr.. Grimsley. bleeding from
his head wounds. The boys
surmised the cherry bomb
had struck him on the ear,
causing him to drown.
Charged on Fireworks
The youths conferred hur-
riedly on the lake. then pad
died home and separated. None
told their parents what had
happened. They dumped the
rest Of their unexploded cherry

Common Market SnorI
Could Block T oriffCuts

and inside the Communist
bloc is excluded from the ap-
plicable export total.
According to calculations last
March, the President would
have authority to eliminate
tariffs in "a commodity groups
if the large increment of
British trade were permitted to
make up part of the SO per cent
requirement.
With the United Kingdom
outside the Common Market,
the President would have au-
thority to cut duties below so
per cent in only two of the "a
categories-aircraft and mar
gerine and shortcomings.
The United States competi-
tive position in the six nations
Of the present Common Market
could thus be seriously affected.
France, West Germany, Italy,
Belgium, The Netherlands and
Luxembourg already have re-
duced tariffs by SO per cent in
side their Common Market
area, and another 10 per cent
slash is due next July /. They
are far ahead of their own
timetable and, within a few
more years, may we'll have a
completely free market among
themselves.
Meanwhile, they are moving
toward a common external tar
iff. So far they have moved
80 per cent of the way, raising
their duties in some cases, low
ering them in others.
The Trade Expansion Act
was designed to give President
Kennedy the authority to whit
tie down the Common Markets
external tariff by offering re-
ciprocal reductions in American
tariffs. The way the law now
reads, however, the United
States could not reduce any OF
its duties beyond so per cent.
This could result in European
and agriculture get
ting a head start in the devel-
opment of a free market while
the United States would still
be hampered by its tariffs.
In the past, President Ken
nedy has expressed fears that
United States investors would
be encouraged in this situation
to put money into the Euro
pean production base and cause
a further flight of capital"
from the United States, thus
increasing balance of payments

today that outsiders will be

areas Of the campus in the
event Negro Harvey CAN'T is
admitted to Clemson College

The college announced that

the campus to cover the event
first integration of a South

The United States Fourth

peal the circuit court decision,
but apparently with little hope
that a stay will be granted.
The college announcement
did not say so, but it left the
implication that those without

business on the campus will be
barred from the classroom

There is no desire whatever
on the part of Clemson College
to manage or censor the news

sion," said the public relations
