Bruceros Law
Extended ! Yeur
BY the Associated Press

President johnson yesterday
approved a one-year extension
Of the program for admitting
Mexican farm laborers into the
United States during 1864.
The present program, begun
in l949 and extended several
times since. would have expired
at the end of this year.
Conditions for employment
Of the Mexican workers were
established by a treaty between
the two nations.
Congress agreed to the one
year extension after several
differences over enabling leg
islation between the House and
Senate.
Sponsors Of the legislation
said the Mexicans were needed
to help harvest and cultivate
important crops for which do
nestle labor is not available.

cause OF declining commit
ments from Federal courts"
James ". Bennett. Federal
prison director. acknowledged
that many of the boys now 60
ing to the National Training
School are too serious Offend
ers to be sent to the camp.
Remainder to Get Transfer
Mr.. Bennett said the approx
imately 80 boys remaining at
the camp will be transferred to
the Federal Youth Center at
Ashland, KY, and to the Ma
tional Training School here.
The camps population came
largely from these two in
stitutions.
Mr.. Bennett said it is now
impossible to send enough juve-
niles to the camp to retain the
average Of about 80 necessary
to make the continued opera
ton economically feasible.
The decline In commitments
Of juveniles from Federal courts.
Mr.. Bennett said. probably is
due to the wider use of proba-
ton and the growing practice
of Federal judges of turning
juvenile offenders over to State
and local authorities.
Better Trend Seen
He said the latter is a good
trend because the correctional
treatment of juveniles should
be undertaken in their own
communities where they will
have to live and where correc-
tional agencies can work with
their families.
Ultimately the National
Training School will be moved,
but Mr.. Bennett does not ex-
pect that to happen for an
other three years. The school

ARISTOTLE, $500 years
ago, said: 1.-THE function of
a Tyre player is to play the
Tyre, and that Of a good Tyre
player to do 1t we'll"
AS our $l4 book explained,
the small-paned window has
an important function:
THE effect created by
these well-proportioned win
dows was orderly without
being monotonous; they reg
ulated the horizontal and
vertical elem e nts in the
facade, and when sliding
sashes were used they altered
the whole aspect Of a build
ing because they brought the
rejecting surfaces Of the
glass panes almost into the
same plane as the walls that
surrounded the windows. The
result was that the windows
smiled. :"
Thus, paraphrasing Aris-
totle, 1t can be said:
1.-THE function OF any win
dow is to keep out the
weather and let light into
the house. But the function
Of a good small-paned win
dow is TO do all that and
smile besides, at all pass
ersby." This is to function,
and to function well.

District Girl Killed
As Accident Ends
Family Vacation

An 8-year-old Washington
girl was killed near Newburgh
N. Y, yesterday when her
fathers car blew a tire and
overturned, the Associated
Press reported.
The girl, Berta NuSsbaum,
was thrown from the vehicle,
according to police. Her father,
Harold Nussbaum, AZ of 1923
Thirteenth street NV, and
his wife and their 5-year-old
son David were injured.
All were admitted to st
Luke's Hospital in Newburgh,
and were listed in satisfactory
condition today. Police said
the family was en- route to
visit relatives in the area. The
accident occurred at New
Paltz, about IS miles south of
Newburgh.
Neighbors said Berta was a
student at the Washington
Hebrew Academy. Mr.. Nuss-
baum is an attorney.

For 35 cents, anyone can get

BARRIERS Worried
It is the idea Of service to
customers which bothers some
OF the BARRIERS in the District
regarding regulations tn a I
would require them TO serve all
Corners. Many, OF course, worry
that II they are forced to ac-
commodate Negroes. their
white clients will desert them.
But others simply do not
have experience in cutting Ne
groes' hair. Taking pride in
their work, they claim that
their only complaint with the
proposed regulations is that
they will not be able TO do a
good job.
II don't know anyone who's
more arrogantly independent
than a baroer." says Frederick
B. Hollett, owner and director
OF the Hyattsyille School of
Barbering, one Of the largest
OF several private barber
schools In Washington suburbs.
Students at Mr.. Hollett's

and the specialized clipper
techniques.
you must keep up with
changes in your business" he
says. ITS not asking too
much"
When he completes whatever
course he has taken. the barber
student applies for an appren-
tice license. Working in a shop
as an apprentice for the re-
quired two years. he makes
about $40 week at first, later
up to $l25 a week.
The opinion among current
graduates Of local barber schools
and young practicing BARRIERS
seems to be nearly unanimous
we'll cut anyone's hair. The
young ones have learned how.
Their feeling is not strictly
humanitarian.
AS Mr.. Hollett says, "he (the
barber can't afford to be turn
ing down patrons any more. "
Though opposition TO inte-
grafton in barbershops con-
tinueS to remain strong among
the older BARRIERS, the feeling
among the young ones on the
controversy raised by Mr.. San
Juan seems to be summarized
by Mr.. Suraci's simple state
ment.

able to go into a barbershop
and get a haircut"

Nikki Understands
No Dull Moments

they honestly do not know how
to cut some kinds Of hair.
What, then, does a barber
need to know? How is he
trained? How is he licensed?
And how valid are the argu-
ments voiced last Friday?
Each beginning barber in the
District must serve a two-year
apprenticeship under an expert
enced licensed barber after TAX
ing a preliminary examination.
At the end of that period, he
takes a final written and prac-
tical examination given by the
three-man Board Of Barber Ex-
aminers.
Formal school is not re-
quired to obtain an apprentice
permit. In fact, the only
stipulations in the d. c. Bar
Der Act OF 1855 are that the
applicant be over l6, "of good
moral character and temperate
habits" and able to prove him
self healthy.
Ratio of l TO 10
In the District, the only bar
Der schools are under the d. c.
School System as part Of voca-
tional high school training.
