French import called LA Baguette de Paris"
The item with this exotic title is 7-ounce bakery
product which District official had ruled could not be
sold in Washington.
The city's Weights Measures and Market Branch had
decided that the product loaf of bread and did not
comply with the appropriate weight requirements here
These rules provide that loaves offered sale must
weight half pound, pound pound and half,
multiples of one pound
Corporation Counsel Chester Gray told the District
Commissioners yesterday however that he had concluded
that the LA Baguete de Paris" is actually roll rather
than loaf and is therefore exempt from the weight
Requirements.
The law firm of Collier and Shannon, which had APP
pealed the Districts ruling the baguettes said the
bakery products made in Paris and flown to the
United States daily.
The law firm conended that baguettes are made in

CORE Fights
Picket Ban
At BeIuir

BALTIMORE, Aug. 81 (AP) .
The Congress of Racial
Equality has asked a United
States District Court to as
sumo jurisdiction from g State
court and vacate an order that
prohibits demonstrations at a
segregated housing develop
ment.
Fred E. Weisgal, attorney
for the Baltimore chapter of
CORE, said in motions filed
yesterday that the injunction
against demonstrations in the
Belair housing development at
Bowie, Md, amounts to en-
forcement by the judicial
branch of the Government of
oppressive and discriminatory
action"
The injunction was issued
August 16 by Circuit Judge
Ralph w. Powers after CORE
demonstrators had picketed
and staged Sit-ins at the sales
offices of the development,
owned by Levitt & Sons.
Mr.. Weisgal said the injunc-
ton was an attempt ito in
woke the assistance of the jul
dicial arm of the Government
to deny to the pickets their
right to meet in public and
to protest against oppression,
economic and otherwise.
William J. Levitt, president
of Levitt g. Sons, said the Bowie
development in Prince Georges
County was the only one of the
firms four developments that
excludes Negroes. But Mr.
Levitt said economic reasons
are behind the exclusion, since
other housing developments in
the area do not admit Negroes
either.

In addition, five of those

Even as the court action pro-
ceeded, a Negro leader promised
further demonstrations for the

The Rev. A. 1. Dunlap, vice
president of the Danville

Council Gets
Protests on


A coming request for high
rise apartments on a 43-acre
tract near Silver Spring, form
erly occupied by the Indian
Springs Country Club, has
brought forth about 500 protest
letters to the Montgomery
County Council.
The correspondence expresses
opposition to the coming in all
but one instance: the Silver
Spring Board of Trade has
sent the only letter supporting
it thus far.
Developer Jack Kay, who Pc
titioned for the change from
its present classification Of
single-family detached homes,
would like to construct luxury
apartments for about 5000
tenants.
The tract is located near
-Four Corners, bounded by the
Capital beltway, Colesville road
and University boulevard.
With more letters arriving at
the Montgomery County Office
building every day, the pile
may reach 900 or more before
the public hearing Thursday
night on the request.
The Montgomery County
Planning Board and the staff
of the INSTRUMENTATION Cap
ital Park and Planning Com
mission have approved the APP
plication in recommendations
to the council, on grounds that
the location is ideally suited
for high-rise apartment towers.
Opponents maintain that
such a project would have
an adverse affect, overload
ing schools, highways and other
public facilities.
The correspondence has
reached such a peak that the
county has been hard-pressed
to keep routine answers to the
letters current.

BY BETTY JAMES
Star staff Writer

Children at Junior Village
and other District Welfare in
situations will benefit from the
Federal milk program, through
arrangements initiated by Sen
ator Humphrey, Democrat of
Minnesota.
Participation starts tomor-
row.
Senator Humphrey, a men,
Der of the Senate District
Appropriations Subcommittee,
visited Junior Village in May
and was surprised to learn that
the institution was sharing in
neither the Federal milk pro-
gram nor the lunch program
for school children.
The food is provided by the
Federal Government at the re-
quest of local officials.
Both programs are handled
by the United States Agricul-
ture Department. Sena tor
Humphrey talked to officials at
Agriculture, and was told the
local institutions were eligible.
The District was asked to sub
NIT papers demonstrating ell
gibility.
Three Daily Servings
The upshot is that tomorrow
all of the youngsters at Junior
Village = IT'S when final ar
rangements were made this
week-as well as all of the
children at the Receiving
Home, where the population
was 140, and 1878 youngsters
at Children's Center will receive
three servings of milk a day
instead of two.
In addition $50 children at
Junior Village who attend
school on the grounds there are
eligible for the school lunch
program, and 1.072 at Chill
dren's Center are qualified.
The Receiving Home will not
take part in the lunch program.

Our experience has been that
we minister to many children
because they have a natural
desire to learn about the better
ways of God. These children
need guidance and good ex-

people in order that they may
not fall into the many sins
which we see all around us.
Our children are precious to
us. We love to have them
