Pennsylvania
Favored as
School Head
York (Pu.) Aide
Gets Informal
Alexandria Bid

Alexandria apparently ended
its lengthy search for a new
school superintendent with Sc
lection Of John c. Albohm who
is director of schools in York,
Pa.
The Alexandria Job inform
ally has been offered to the So
year-old Pennsylvania educator
and he has accepted 1t.
Official announcement of
Mr.. Albohm's appointment is
being withheld pending ap-
proval by the State Board Of
Education which meets tomor-
row in Richmond.
CertificatiOn Needed
Although the final choice
rests with the local school
board, the State must first
certify all prospective superin-
tendents as eligible for ap-
pointment. Normally. such
certification is routine.
Two other candidates are
still under consideration also,
a city spokesman said, but the
board apparently has agreed
that Mr.. Albohmn is the first
choice.
7 Mr.. Albohm today said that
if the approval is granted, he
expects to begin his duties in
Alexandria by April /.
Mr.. Albohm has a national
reputation as an imaginative
innovator who is unafraid of
new educational ideas.
In York, where he has been
superintendent since 1855, he
introduced the study of foreign
languages into elementary
grades, reduced the size Of
classes, developed new techni-
cal courses, and created sep
arate curricula enabling pupils
to advance as rapidly as their
abilities permit.
Many Candidates
Alexandria has been seeking
a new superintendent since T.
C. Williams retired last July
and Mr.. Albohm was chosen
from an extensive list of candi-
dates the school board has
considered in recent months.
Born in Orange, N. j., Mr..

ceived three degrees, including
a doctorate in education.

the time of his retirement, but
the salary Of Mr.. Albohm has
not been fixed.

Rambler
y =. Completes
A Pilgrimage
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The banks and braes o.
the bonny Potomac were nae
sac fresh and fair this
morning.
The Rambler debated going
out.
But he had a pilgrimage
in mind.
Why not inspect the
greatest Burns library out
side Scotland on this eve of
the 204th birthday of the
greatest Scot?
So he hied himself (by
taxi to the Scottish Rite
Temple at Sixteenth and S
streets.
You know the building.
It's a very impressive one
with its Greco Egyptian
pillars flanked by stone lions
with hooded heads and fe-
male human faces.
Within, the entrance hall
is even more impressive with
onyx pillars bordering a
marble floor the size of a
tennis court.
The librarian, Ray Baker
Harris, was at home con-
valescing from surgery. His
assistant, Mrs. Inge Baum,
a young German woman,
showed the visitor down.
stairs to a long rectangular
room lined with bookcases
and fumed panels of quar-
tered oak.
The books were collected
by William r. Smith, a
Scotch immigrant who went
to work for the Botanical
Gardens of the Capitol before
the Civil War and eventually
became its superintendent.
SURELY CALEDONIANS
can take pride in this collec-
ton assembled by a Scotch
gardener of books by and
about a Scotch farmer whose
songs are among the finest
flowers of British culture.
Andrew Carnegie became
interested in the collection
and helped him in some of
his later purchases. He left
the books to trustees, among
them, Mr.. Carnegie and T. w.
NoyeS, editor Of The Star.
They placed it in the Scottish
Rite Temple, then nearing
completion.
photographers from Brit
ain, who catalogued the
books. said the collection
was better than the Burns
lana in the British Museum
and second only to that in
the Mitchell Library of
Edinburgh.
Smith attempted to re-
place Burns own library.
Smiths books, which were
sold after his death In 1895
for 80 pounds, a respectable
sum in those days, are listed.
They include translations
of Homer and Virgil, the
plays of Shakespeare, Ben
Johnson and Moliere, some
18th-century novels includ-
ing "Tom Jones" and "The
Vicar of Wakefield" and the
second edition of the Ency-
clopaedia Britannica. The
last was a 10-volume set
printed (as was the first
edition. "in Edinburgh for

Public Housing
Grant Sought
Scutter-Site Plan
Coils for Million

A million dollar Federal
grant for "scattered-site" pub
lie housing in Northwest and
Northeast Washington will be
sought by the National Capital
Housing Authority.
Existing private homes would
be bought. fixed up and made
available at subsidized rents on
an experimental basis.
The agency's board yesterday
voted to file an application
with the Housing and Home
Finance Agency for $1,O95, 900
to finance a demonstration"
of feasibility of the purchase,
rehabilitation and rental of
individual dwellings to families
eligible for public housing.
Must Be Willing
The program would provide
only for purchase of private
homes whose owners were will
ing to sell.
In this respect, the demon
stration differs from a program
disclosed two weeks ago for the
Adams-Morgan urban renewal
area. There, private houses
would be subject to condemna-
tion by the Redevelopment Land
Agency through powers of
eminent domain, for later sale
to NCHA. This urban renewal
proposal has not yet been
approved by the District COM
miSsioners.
The proposal approved by
NCHA's board yesterday also
differs from another scattered
site" scheme for leasing pri-
vate homes for re-rental to
low-income families that Off
cials said could be applied to
any Washington area, without
regard to location.
Grant Approved
A Federal grant Of $4,000
already has been approved for
the leasing program. but 1t is
not yet under way. Under this
demonstration" so homes
would be leased from private
owners and be made available
to eligible families at subsi-
died rents. The $1s4.OOO would
be used to provide a rental
subsidy for a two-year trial
period, a spokesman said.
In the million-dollar scheme,
$830,000 would be used to meet
purchase and rehabilitation
costs, it was explained.
Standards Of rehabilitation
for the dwellings. the agency
said, are tentative" II the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency determines they should
be higher, a larger grant would
be needed than the sl.O95. 900
sought.

.FDIC Reports
First Year of
No Failures
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corp. reported yesterday
that there was not a single
insured bank failure in 1862.
1t was the first time this
has happened since the agency
began inSuring bank deposits
in 1884.
A recent study by the agency
indicated the present insured
maximum of $4,000 for each
depositor could be raised to
$4,000 without impairing its
deposit insurance fund or in
creasing bank assessments.
The 1862 record figured in a
reduction which FDIC Chair
man Erie Cooke. sr. announced
yesterday in the actual rate OF
assessments for the year, to
about one thirty second of ]
per cent. The effective rate ir
1861 was one thirty-first Of ]
per cent.
The statutory rate is one
twelfth of l per cent of de-
posits, but FDIC is required al
the end of each year to credit
banks with two thirds of theil
annual assessments. after
making deductions for losses
and expenses.
The credit for 1862, Mr.
Cooke announced. amounts tC
$126.9 million. Insured bank:
received a credit of $l5.4 mil
lion for 1861.

Treasury the payments they
will make or credit to you
later in 1868.
Law Is Cited
Make no mistake on these
points. The law requires you
to fill in your number and
get one If you don't already
have one. Also the law re-
quires corporations, banks,
etc., to ask for your number.
Don't resent the requests; the
law demands them,
A final point about num-
bers. Be careful about your
arithmetic when you prepare
your 1862 tax return. The
number of mathematical err
rors the Treasury finds when
it checks the additions, sub
fractions, etc.-which it does
on almost every return-is
amazing. Nearly 2,500,000 re-
turns contained mathema-
tical errors last year and the
errors ran both ways. Tax
payers not only made mis-
takes in favor Of themselves
but also against themselves.
The errors averaged 500
less in taxes per return in
favor of the taxpayer: $40
more in favor Of the Treas
ury. So, be careful. Don't
overpay on taxes by making
an error against yourself. Al
so avoid errors in your favor,
for they generally will be
caught, you'll have to pay
the added tax and you'll run
the risk that your return
will be picked for examina-
ton just because of an error
in your arithmetic.
