IfuguenOt Officials Plan Fifth

POWHATAN, March % The
results of a survey conducted by
H gu E no t School officials to
study the possibility of lncreas-
ing the enrolment of the pri-
Vate school faster than had been
planned, has revealed a definite
need for private facilities for the
first through the twelfth grades
for the fall of 1868.
/. E. NJ Walton. president Of the
private school organization. said
Tuesday that 1T looks as if we
will have to 90 all the way, one
through twelve, next year.
All l04 of the present student
body have signed up and paid
their fees for next year, and
many times that number have
expressed a definite interest in
attending the school. Parents Of
children in Chesterfield county
have even shown interest.
The original Elan for expan-
sion Of the school when h e
Academy was founded in 1859,
was to add one grade each year,
until all twelve were added. I'm
der this plan the fifth grade
would be added in September of
1868. 1t now looks as if grades
five through twelve will be
added.
Grades one through four at

the Huguenot Holding Corpora

The new building has eight
rooms, four of which arc being
used by the first, second. third
and fourth grades. The re-
manning four rooms are not III
use at the present time.
The first and second grade
rooms are equipped with rest
rooms. Resi- rooms for the other
rooms are in a central location
at the rear Of the building.
Walton said that any person
interested in teaching in pri-

Speak Hopeful

Hopes mounted last week as

In the meantime, Mr.. Hartman

ban treaty. Comforting with Prime
Minister Macmillan. Defense Min
lister Peter Thorneycroft and Lord
Hailsham, the American drew up
q six-article document that will
serve as the foundation for nego-

Offsetting the optimism were re-
ports from Washington that the

given approval to q partial ban.

In the face of mounting Chi

that China win explode her own

ban on all such explosions in the

In the diplomatic shorthand

NATO into the nonaggression pact,
because Of complexities 1t would

In fact, critics think Mr.. Harri-
man participated in q bit too
many such conferences. Noting
his presence at Yalta in 1945 and
even the two cavalry horses Sta

Wet talks in Moscow last week,
thrice recessed In six days. Pre-
mier Khrushchev ostentatiOusly
left the city to meet with Bel

Although the crafty, expression

placed by a more animated one,
the question Of just what propels
the Soviets to their many moods
remains the subject Of q universal
guessing game in the West.
Behind the mask, diplomats
thought they saw q distressed
giant who wanted to negotiate
with the West. But Washington
suspected it might just be another
Russian ploy to bring the Chinese
into line. One Of the aims Of Mr..
Hartman, who says he puts

tale signs by Russians that their

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Testing Strategy Of Peace

w. AvereII Hartman and
Britain's Science Minister, Lord
HaiIsham, viii sit down with So
viets in Moscow tomorrow to
seek a nuclear test-ban treaty.
The Vests mood was one Of
guarded optimism.
Among the World War II stories
about Averell Hartman was a
conversation he had with Stain
in the presence of Gen. Patrick
Hurley, former Ambassador to
China.
The argument heated up and
the pair began exchanging strong
language. Gen. Hurley. fearing
fisticuffs, interviewed. Afterwards,
Mr.. Hartman asked why he had
hutted in. The general explained
his fears.
"That was Just the way we al
ways talk" replied Ambassador
Hartman.

administration can claim a longer

Boos for Royalty

there was the incident last week in
London. British royalty received

Split Seems Wider

From all appearances, the quar-
rel between the Moscow Reds and
their Chinese cousins is growing
wider. Delegates had scarcely be-
gun talks at the Government re-,
ception house in the Lenin Hills

MOgnusOn's View

While most meniAers Of Congress
refused to comment on how they
view various legislative solutions
to the rail controversy, it is be-
heved that compulsory arbitration
or seizure legislation would meet
with stiff resistance.
Senator Magnuson, chairman Of
the Senate Commerce COMMITTEES,
said in q NBC teleyision interview
that he thought these measures
were repugnant to the President
"if there's any other possible way"
of working the dispute out. It APP
peared, however, that faced with q
strike, the administration would
propose arbitration or seizure or
a combination of both.
The Republican Congressional
leadership did not take position
on possible legislative solutions,
but said that Congress would not
duck" its responsibility If Presi-
dent Kennedy asked for legisla-
ton. Nevertheless, Representative
Halleck of Indiana. House Minor
ity Leader, said Congress is not
going to be "stampeded into ac-
ton that cannot be justified"

wracked by tensions between Ne

hold power through Prime Min

This year the situation was
acerbated by an 11-week general
strike directed against the Jagan
regime. So chaotic became the
daily business of living that the

mended that no mail be sent to
the colony until the strike ended.

tanning troops there in the last 10
months. has Just about had
enough. But Duncan Sandys, Sec
rotary for Colonial Affairs, will
soon visit the colony and another
