Yemenite in Legation
Threatened With Death

The representative of the
former government of Yemen
has received a letter threaten
ing his death unless he permits
representatives of the new gov
eminent to move into the
Legation at 4402 Sixteenth

ASsayed Ahmed Zabarrah,
Charge d'Affaires here when
Yemen was a kingdom, has re-
fused to leave the premises
even though the ancient king
dom was overthrown in a rev.
olution last winter and repub-

When the new Yemeni gov
eminent sent its representatives
here, Mr.. Zabarrah refused to
let them in.
The Yemen-Arab Republic
has filed a suit in the Districts

School Board
Assured Of No
Action on Cuts
State Group Plans
To Study Protest
In Montgomery
BY JAMES b. ROWLAND
Star staff Writer

The Montgomery County
School Board was assured last
night that State educators to-
morrow will merely discuss, not
act on, a formal complaint pro-
testing local board and county
council cuts in the 1963-64
school budget.
DR.. Homer o. Elseroad, dep
uty superintendent of county
schools, reported to board mem
bers that State School Supt.
Thomas g. Pullen, jr., had
fphoned earlier yesterday to say
that no testimony on the pro-
test will be taken at tomor-
rows meeting of the State
Board of Education in Balti-
more.
"Dr. Pullen said the board
will only meet with an assistant
attorney general to discuss a
reply to the complaint and de-
eide if hearings should be held
on the matter" DR.. Elseroad
said.
1--WE heard that before" re-
piled Charles w. Bell, school
board president.
He referred to a State board
meeting July 2 which had been
prefaced days in advance by
DR.. Pullen's statements that no
action would be taken on Mont
gomery's new controversial pol
icy to refer teacher finger
prints to county police for
screening.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-27
New Policy FORMED


Instead, the State board on
July 2 issued a broad, new pol
icy of its own prohibiting local
school officials from submitting
not only fingerprints to county
and State police, but all other
teacher records.
The complaint before the
State board tomorrow was filed
by the Montgomery County
Council of Parent Teacher As
sociations. 1t alleges that some
50 million was cut illegally from
the school budget and that the
county council is violating the
law by holding about $2.3 mil
lion collected since 1861 in taxes
earmarked for education.
In other business, William E.
Coyle, board vice chairman and
a member of its economy
geared majority, said that the
board saved about $4,000 by
using new construction blue
prints for the Seven Locks
Elementary School rather than
adopting plans used for cree
ton of Georgetown Hill Ele-
mentary.
The Seven Locks contract
awarded last night totaled
$378,310, or $11.31 per square
foot, compared to $11.63 at
Georgetown Hill. The boards
construction aides said the saw
ing was due in part to the new
school being built on a
smoother parcel of land that
did not require as extensive
footingS.
Economy Commended
Mrs. Lucille Maurer and Mrs.
Lucy Kicker, minority members,
were quick to commend the
economy, and expressed the
hope that I'VE can have this
type of planning on all sites. 3"
On another subject, Mr.. Bell
asked that staff officials notify
board members Immediately
when they hear of relations "of
an unusual nature" between
personnel and students.
Mr.. Bell said a case involving
an upper county woman teacher
and a girl student was I'M
covered by the staff in June,
but he did not learn of it until
queried by a court house en-
ploye this month. The teacher,
who had no previous record,
resigned, and was given "proba-
ton without a verdict" by the
Peoples Court, according to her
attorney.
DR.. Elseroad said the staff
wanted all the facts before re-
porting to the School Board.
But he promised that reports
on all similar cases in the
future will be relayed immedi-
ately to board members.

Why do they
all want to
look alike?

disgusting. It's all fad. They all want to
be the same, which is ridiculous because
they look like caricatures of each other.
There's nothing more attractive than a
young girl who looks pretty, and her own

wouldn't agree with me-"
Teasing Is easy and ugly
Zone reason the teen-agers like the
teased-up head is because it's easy. Most kids
don't go to hairdressers. But even if they
did, they'd probably come out with the same
hairdO = most hairdressers know a profit
able thing when they see it. If a girl came to
me and wanted that hairdO, I'd talk her out
of it or tell her to go home and do it herself.
And the kids can do it themselves! All they
have to do is to make knots, and knots and
knots by teasing - and then just brush
over lightly. Some of them don't even brush
over. Then they spray it all into one solid
mass.

ally you see them on Saturday afternoon this

That huge head is all out Of proportion

wears those very short skirts. And the make
up! It's amazing that parents would let their
daughters out Of the house with those dirty,
black-ined eyes, with the green or bright blue
eye shadow, and the white mouths. It's just
plain cheap looking. Besides, they look like

How do ! think teen-agers should look?
Pretty. With nice simple hairdO that's de-
signed for their own faces. Some girls can
wear short, curly tOusled hairdO. Others

pers have taken the Prim e

cursions into anti-Americanism.
But many observers believe it
helps his effort to depict him
self a courageous leader, will

Decisions Painful
The irony, his critics, say,
is that the fearless campaigner
has been a far from forceful
Prime Minister.
Peter Newman. Ottawa editor
of MacLean's Magazine, said in
a recent profile of Mr.. Diefen-
baker:
Ever since he took office,
1t has been well known that
he suffers from an almost NOR
bid inability to make up his
mind. At one point in
1859, AZ senior federal govern
ment appointments were vacant
at the same time, simply be-
cause Mr.. Diefenbaker couldn't
decide among the suggested
nominees"
Mr.. Newman attributed this
failing to "the lifelong habits
of a lone-wolf defense lawyer
(which made 1t difficult for
him to delegate authority-an
essential of cabinet government.
If this criticiSm-and others
like it-have dented Mr.. Die
fenbaker's self-confidence as a
campaigner, he conceals the
fact well. In casual CONVERSE
ton, Mr.. Diefenbaker radiates
confidence about the outcome
of next Mondays voting. Five

gard commitments on impor-
tant issues as highly dangerous

Ambassador for consultation.
ArevalO Sympathizers
In Managua Mr.. Ydigoras,
who at first declared the coup
was good for Guatemala and
the rest of Central America,
charged that Col. Peralta is
allied with Red sympathizers.
He said Col. Peralta allied
himself with junior army Of
ficers sympathetic to left-lean-
ing former President Juan Jose

clandestine return to Guate-
mala last week that apparently
triggered the coup.
Col. Peralta denied the charge
and accused Mr.. Ydigoras Of
making an agreement with Mr.
Arevalo. Col. Peralta said he die
