Ice Cream Cones
Win House Okuy

The House voted yesterday
to legalize ice cream cones in
the Nations Capital.
1t was a silent count. The
lack of any objection cleared
the District bill to allow lick
ing stick and cup ice cream
out into the open.
The measure now goes to the
Senate.
Since 1921, vendors selling
scoops of ice cream smaller
than one-half pint have beer
breaking the law.
Nobody debated yesterdays
bill permitting frozen fare tc
be sold in packages as light as
one ounce. The legislation also
permits legal sale, for the first
time since 1921, of individual
bottles of cream for coffee.

DR.. Murray Grant, District
health director, testified yes
terday that the $4,000 would
provide for an information pro-
gram and for birth control de-
vices for 2,400 persons.
He said the cost would be
about $40 per year per patient.
Senator Byrd, chairman Of
the District Appropriations Sub
committee, then asked for an
estimate for the record of what
a pilot program aimed at well
fare recipients would cost.
The House slashed the 81 900
asked for birth control infor-
nation, a continuation of a
limited program already in ex-
istence. The Health Depart
ment asked the Senate subcom-
mittee yesterday to restore the

control devices.

Show Place
Playground
IsApproved

The proposed development of
"a show place" playground at
Sixth and o streets NV. was
approved today by the District
Commissioners.
The approval was contingent
on private funds being provided
to supply equipment and fol
operation the first year.
E. Barrett Prettyman, jr.,
White House special assistant
who is representing Attorney
General Kennedy, the initiator
Of the idea. said that he hopes
100000 can be raised for the
project.
Mr.. ,Prettyman said thai
under proposed plans two sur
plus jet airplanes. a harbor tul
and an Army tank will bt
placed on the playground, a site
which has been used until re-
Gently as a dumping ground for
the city's abandoned cars.
He said there will also be
special playground equipment
a spray pool in the summer
that will be converted to an
ice-skating rink in the winter
as well as a runway for SOAP
box derbies in the summer and
shedding in the winter.
The approval of the proposed
playground recognizes that part
of the site will be used for con-
struction of a new Shaw Junior
High School in 1866, when part
of the playground equipment
will be transferred to other rec
reaJion areas.

Welfare Birth Control
Studied at Byrd Request

District officials began a
study today of what a birth
control program aimed directly
for welfare recipients would
cost.
The cost study is not for a
full-Scale program but for a
smaller, pilot program. The
study is being made at the re-
quest of Senator Robert Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia.
A study requested by the
Senator Of sick-leave absen-
teeism within the District was
also begun by officials today.
District officials have never
pushed for a birth-control pro-
gram specially for welfare re-
cipients, but the District Health
Department is seeking $25, 900
for such a program to be pro-
vided to patients who request
such help at the city's maternal
and child health clinics.
Some of these clients would

Gorge Reservoir of the Patux-
ent River in Montgomery
County. According to teSti-
mony, the three Negroes were
on their way home from a
fishing trip when they found
the girl and her date in a
parked car.
At the outset of the hearing,
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan noted that only the Gov
ernor stands between life or
death for the defendants. He
said the appeal could be based
on anything from facts to
compassion"

ing parents informed and BY
staying well within the mores

schools have been bold in teach
ing the new math," they have
been careful to avoid any areas
of sex instruction that might
cause controversy.

said Birch E. Bayh, who is re-
sponsible for instruction in sex

are not permitted to talk about
contraception, masturbation

homosexuality. Our emphasis is

Along with the instruction in
the facts about the parts of the
body and the process of human
reproduction, the schools also
attempt to provide guidance In
morality and codes or conduct
The success of this moral
guidance apparently varies
greatly with the behavior the
student sees in his own home.

In other schools, however,
teachers are forced to deal with

where the moral dards

In some of our junior high
schools, we find girls who say:

that such an approach would

have lost the art of communi-
cation, especially in the areas
of sex and human reproduc-
ton.
Concerned by the rising Incl
dence of venereal disease and
illegitimate births among teen
ayers and by the apparent fail
ure of most parents to instruct
their children in the facts of
life, the public schools of the
District of Columbia began a
course in family living, includ-
ing human reproduction, five
years ago. 1t has now spread to
all of the schools in the Dis
trict and is considered a model
program by educators in other
parts of the country.
instruction Varies
While the instruction in
these areas in the elementary
sc hools varies from class to
class with the ability of the
teacher and the readiness of
the students, every child is
supposed to get a one-semester
course in the eighth grade. In
the high schools, most of the
specific instruction in sex and
preparation for m arriage is
concentrated in one semester
of the junior year.

Postseuson Picnic

suggested a picnic Sunday.
The suggestion cleared the
advice and consent hazard
and by early afternoon we
were off to Great Falls Park
CVirginia).
It should not have been a
surprise (but 1t was) but the
same idea had occurred to
many people.
Finding a place to park the
car among the rocks and I'M
der the trees was a problem.
The man at the gate who
collects so cents for each car
told US that there were al
most 1000 people in the park
more than 1000 cars.
I'VE have had well over
5,000," he said. THAT makes
it rather crowded-the park
Is less than II acres"
We walked to the brink.
The fall drought had allowed
the sediment to settle in the
pools above the falls and the
water sluicing through the
rocks looked as clear as from
a mountain spring.
The low water had ex-
posed more rock than usual.
Mrs. R., who is familiar with
the Rockies, had enc word
for it.

flood waters have at times

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. is. - A
clemency appeal for three
Montgomery County Negroes
sentenced to die on charges OF
rsping a white girl was taken
under advisement today by
Gov. Tawes after the prosecu-
ton noted it had not asked the
death penalty.
At the conclusion of a two

dicated he will give his decision
within a week.

the three Montgomery County
youths - John Giles, %, his
brother, James, "a. and Joseph

piess for full pardons.
The three defendants are in
the death row at the Maryland
'enitentiary. Their attorneys
contended evidence developed
after the trials show that the
16-year-old girl had a bad repu-
tation for chastity and may
have submitted without resist
ance to the men.
No Objection to Clemency
At the hearing. Leonard T
Hardy, the Montgomery County
States attorney who prose-
cuted the case. said the State
did not ask the death penalty
for the defendants.
I'VE have no objection tt
your honor granting whatever
clemency you DESIRE" Mr.
Hardy told Gov. Tawes.
Attorneys for the Negro de-
PENDANTS declared that last
night they were informed that
the girl once told her mother
