attorney had filed suit seeking
to force complete migration of
the county's schools.
The suit was filed in Federal
Court, Alexandria, by Otto L.
Tucker, attorney for the Ma

vancement Of Colored People.
It also seeks an injunction to
stop the assignment of Negroes
to all-Negro schools.
Vote Again Monday
School Board Attorney James
Keith repeatedly advised the
board Monday that re-study Of
the situation has convinced him
that the boards refusal to
transfer the students was legally
untenable.
The board expects to vote
again on the transfers at a
special open session next Mon
day. 1t also will consider a
request by the Board Of County
Supervisors to restore the free
textbook program for ele-
mentary school children, which
was dropped when the budget
was cut.
The cases of five Negro stu
dents involved have meant
nothing but trouble for the
school board. Several straw
votes in March and early April
showed that the board was
tied 3-3 on the transfer re-
quests. The seventh member,

THE RAMBLER CAME

THE RAMBLER CAME
very close to plunging into
the circular pool and under
the fall which comes down
in a delicate, sparkling flow,
as thin and as transparent
as cellophane.
Instead, he watched the
waits at their private pool
away from the stale slums
which get to be dark ovens
in June and July.
For awhile, at least, they
we're better off in that
shady, clean spot, main
tanned by the Federal Gov
eminent, than a lot of poor
little rich boys trying to
swim in leaky, backyard plas-
tic pools, or in packed public
baths.
Their fountain is only II
years old. It was built for
100000 raised by friends of
the late Mr.. Mellon.
An odd thing happened
during its construction.
Workmen, excavating on the
Pennsylvania avenue side of
the fountains site, came
across an abandoned tunnel
big enough to walk through.
No one was able to find out
what it was doing there and
eventually it was filled in
with concrete.
The fountain was de-
signed py an archlCect
named Otto r. Eggers who
got the idea from a bronze
fountain he had noticed in
Genoa, Italy.
There are three tiers of
bronze basins and high up,
in the middle, water is
forced up in a frothy plume.
The way the water cas-
cades down to the lower
basin in an unbroken sheet,
sometimes ripping in the
wind, sometimes reflecting
the elms or urchins in the
park, gives the fountain its
distinction.

To Governments
BY LEE FLOR
star staff Writer

Two rival proposals 10 reOr-
ganize regional planning today
were referred to IL city and
county governments, including
the District.
The IL local governments
will have to choose whether
the Washington Metropolitan
Council Of Governments or the
National Capital Regional
Planning Council will be ELI
gible for Federal planning
grants.
The Federal grants will triple
the planning budgets Of the
agency chosen for the role of
chief regional planning agency.
Submission Voted
The second proposal, q legis-
lative charter for Congress, was
approved for submission to the
IL city and county govern
ments yesterday at the MONTH
ly meeting Of the Council of
Governments. The charter
would let the Council Of Gov
ernments: Provide for the
participation of all local gov
ernmentS in the formulation
of region-wide development
plans"
Alexandria Mayor Frank E.
Mann, chairman Of the inter-
nal operations committee of the
council, said the proposed leg
islative charter was based on
the unanimous approval voted
by the 69-member council al
its semiannual conference last
June 6.
At that time, the Council OF
Governments approved q move
for a charter to be granted by
Congress.
At the meeting yesterday
Fairfax County Supervisor VIII
liam H. Moss said he had inter-
preted the June 6 resolution to
mean that the regional plan
ming council would be permit
ted to press its suit for Its
eligibility for the grants.
Deferment Urged
Mr.. Moss asked that the
Council of Governments cut out
the paragraph asking for the

resolution.
Virginia State Senator
Charles E. Fenwick said thai
Mr.. Moss had asked that the
exact wording of the charter
be deferred, pending examina.

by each member government.
To cut out the paragraph per.

Takes the Baths
By JOHN McKELWAY

Washington was in dan
ger of melting away, or so
1t seemed to the Rambler.
While the sidewalks were
holding up, the streets we're
as soft as warm lava. The
walker, headed down Sixth
street, as wet and as limp
as a wash rag in the "a de-
grees Of heat, wondered II
the blacktop might soon
start to ooze down the hill
toward the avenue.
He came close to being run
over in a mad scramble Of
small bodies which swept
past, heading due South.
The leader led his detach-
ment skillfully through the
traffic. There we're seven Of
them. Some without shoes on
the hot cement. Some with
out shirts. 1t was a tattered
and torn group with only
one thought in mind: the
Andrew w. Mellon Memorial
fountain.
Once they could see from
a distance that the water
was on, the pace quickened.
The fountain. was then
charged. The leader, his
baggy pants miraculously in
place during the dash, was
the first in. The others
ducked under some ever
green's and then appeared in
bathing suits.
Soon, there were IS or so
in the pool at the base of the
fountain. A wisp of a girl,
who was probably no more
than 2, splaShed happily in

parents around screaming
safety precautions.

cution case against Killough
rested on the slim margin of
the second confession because
there were no eye witnesses and
only weak circumstantial evi-
dence.
However, last May 81 Judge
Curran admittd the second
confession holding that it was
voluntary and that its intro
duction into the trial did not
violate either the Mallory rule
or the Court Of Appeals Kill
Tough opinion.
William Bryant, Killough's
attorney. argued that the con-
fession to the classifications
clerk also was tainted because
it came only hours before the
confession thrown out by the
Court Of Appeals.
Judge Curran said the con-
feSsio nto the clasSifications
clerk was not made under any
threats or pressure and that
it was not made to a member
of the police force.
Will Appeal Case
After the verdict today and
sentencing Mr.. Bryant said he
will appeal the case to the
United States Court of Appeals
Mr.. Bryant was the lawyer who
tried the Mallory case before
the Supreme Court in 1857, and
later handled Killough's appeal
last year.
Charles Duncan, the princi-
pal chief assistant United
States attorney who prosecuted
the case, said that the Govern
ment would have been forced
TO drop the indictment If Judge
Curran had excluded the sec.
ond confession.

after they had deliberated only
IS minutes.
This was Killough's second
conviction for the death Of his
wife. The United States Court
Of Appeals, in a far-reaching
and controversial decision, had
upset the prior conviction last
October on the grounds that
an illegal confession was i'm
properly admitted into the
first trial.
Killough, 81, was arrested on
October "a, 1861, and held 26
hours by police. During this
time he made his first confess
sion and told police that he
had strangled his wife and
buried her body in a dump off
the j street extension in South
east.
On October IS, he received a
hearing before a United States
commissioner and was warned
Of his rights. The next day he
made a second confession to a
classifications clerk during a
routine interview in the D. C.
Jail.
Then a few hours later he
made q third confession to
police who visited him at the
jail.
Third Confession
1t was this third confession
that the Court of Appeals threw
out last october in a five-to-
four decision holding that the
third confession was nothing
more than q "reaffirmation"
of the first and was "the fruit
of the poisonous tree"
