In its more than 20 years as
one of Washington's concert
halls, the Phillips Gallery, as it
was called until recently, has
maintained a peerless record in
the variety Of It's programming
and in It's laydable insistence
on frequent presentations of
resident talent. A few weeks
ago q group Of resident artists
offered q musical tribute to the
late composer, Francis Poulenc;
last night o resident group
saluted the preclassical period,
when chamber music for voice
and a few instruments was the
prevailing vogue.

not always successfully, TO get
the people filing by to sign
their names in guestbooks. Still
by 8 pm. she had more than
IS books, each filled with 300
names.
Again this morning, q steady
stream of mourners filed past
the coffin from the time the
church doors opened at Q am,
Varied Worlds
Those who came represented
varied economic and social
worlds. Judge Andrew Howard
Of the District Court Of Gen.
eral Sessions explained one Of
his reasons for coming: well
I was born in Mississippi"
A cab driver came in, holding
his money changer in his hand;
a workman came in with white
overalls on, q painters cap in
hand.
Elder Laurence L. Lynch OF
the Bible Way Church wore q
cross dangling over his black
vest and suit.
Women came in their best
prints and silks, wearing hats
and gloves. They also came in
Stacks and summer shifts. Chill
rem too small to walk were car
ried in arms, and those a bit
older, came in for a minute
or two before running out into
the streets again.
Except for the very young
and a few adults, curiosity was
not the motive of the crowd.
AS had been said repeatedly
during yesterdays march, the
reason for coming was simple

In q steady stream, an esti-
mated 10000 persons late yes
terday filed by the body of
Medgar Evers at the John Wes-
ley AME Church, Fourteenth
and Corcoran streets NV.
A few cried, some clasped
their hands, but mostly 1t was a
silent and deeply personal ex-
preston from the thousands =
most of whom knew the 81
year-old Negro leader only
through the cause for which he
struggled. The jackson miss
NAACP leaders fight for racial
equality ended June IL when
he was ambushed, shot and
killed in the driveway at home.
Flag-Draped Coffin
His body was taken to the
church yesterday afternoon
after a 27-block process
sion behind a black hearse
which carried his flag-draped
coffin from Union Station to
MCGUIRE Funeral Home near
the Wesley Church. The body
was to lie in state today. Mr..
Evers. a World War II veteran,
will be buried in Arlington
Cemetery at II am. tomorrow
At 5 pm. yesterday the
church doors were opened and
the first persons in the long
line of mourners filed by the
casket. Nearby was an Ameri-
can flag floral display in red
and white roses and blue car
nations.

The Supreme Court has over
turned trespass convictions of
eight Negro and white persons
who staged q sit-in demonstra-
ton ct the "403 Restaurant" in
Alexandria, Va.
It told the Virginia Supreme
Court in an order yesterday to
reconsider the case in the light
of O May 20 ruling by the high
tribunal in q case from Green
vile, s. c. The Greenville case
involved q sit-in demonstration
by 10 Negro students at a de-
partment store restaurant.
The convictionAof the 10 stu
dents was overturned in the
May ruling.
1850 Law at Issue
In the Alexandria case, the
group occupied tables in the
restaurant on August 90, 1861,
and did not leave after re-
quests by the manager and
police. Each was fined 500.
The demonstrators were fined
under q 1860 State law provid-
ing that persons who trespass
after being forbidden to do SO
may be fined up to 1000 and
given q 12-month prison sem
tence. An Alexandria ordinance
provides only q S26 fine.
In appealing to the high tri-
bunAl, their counsel contended
State authorities in q "prede-
termined and consistent policy"
prosecuted the eight under the
State law with severe penal
ties having been added to deal
with this type demonstration. I"
The appeal questioned If the
Federal Constitutions guaran-

Negro students who graduated

sity expanded its policy to in

Currency Chaos Ended
A Century Ago This June
BY SYLVIA PORTER

"Counterfeit Detectors," a
weekly listing the names and
numbers of spurious notes.
Faced with the necessity Of
financing the Civil War, Presi-
dent LinColn's Secretary Of the
Treasury fought relentlessly
for a national currency Chase
finally got what he wanted in
the National Currency Act OF
1863. That law laid the basis
for the dual system Of state
and nationally chartered COM
merical banks we have today.
It gave us a national currency.
1t was crucially important in
financing the Civil War.
Over the years, it has made
counterfciting a sma'l-time
business, In fiscal 1862, the
Secret Service captured a grand
total of S3,567,020 in counter
felt money before it reached
the public. Actually lost to the
public was only 1857, 1896, a
picayune sum compared with
the S34 billion Of paper cur
rency in circulation today.
AS the Tooth anniversary OF
our first national paper cur
rency nears, it is important to
contrast the then and now, IF
for no other reason" as the
American Bankers Association
suggests, than to see how far
we've come"

ABA Official Opposes
More Bank Insurance

The need for increasing max
imum insurance for each bank
depositor to $25,000 from $10,-
600 has not been demonstrated
and such a move might be
detrimental to the economy. a
spokesman for the American
Bankers Association told the
House Banking and Currency
Committee at hearings on the
proposed increase today.
The fact that only l.8 per
cent Of the accounts in insured
banks have more than $4,000
is clear evidence of the abb
scence Of any real need for the
proposed legislation. declared
Jack T. Conn, chairman of the
ABA's Federal Legislative Com
mittee.
However. he emphasized that
II insurance coverage is in
creased by this amount on
share accounts Of savings and
loan associations. the same
increase should apply to the
banks.

light range, a building at Fort
Worth's Meacham Field and

YOUR MONEYS WORTH

paper money was the variation
in its value, Many OF the notes
we're absolutely worthless, be-
cause the banks iss uing them
had nothing to back them up.
Currency issued by a bank
which had failed would con-
tinue to circulate long after the
bank was out Of business. Often
the value of the currency de-
pended on how far the note
was from the bank which had
printed 1t.
Fol- instance, the value of the
paper issued by the older New
York and New England banks
was relatively stable, but the
farther West an American
Travelled then, the more un-
certain became the worth of
the local money. A traveller
crossing a State border easily
might find that bill worth
$40 in gold or silver on one
side was worth half on the
other side Of the border.
Aginst this background,
wildcat" bankers flourished
These were crooks who fol-
lowed the Western frontier and
issued currency with no inten-
tion of redeeming it. They set
up their head offices" in re-
mote parts of a state-so re-
mote that only other wildcats
lived there - because the laws
of that state provided that the
notes needed to be redeemed
in gold and silver only at the
banks head office" They
usually were as worthless as
counterfeit money.
Under the circumstances too,
counterfeiting flourished on an
incredible scale. The quantity
and variety of the paper cur
rency outstanding made fraud
almost impossible to detect.
The shoddy quality of the
money itself added to the
problem of detection. In fact,
a leading best-seller in bank
ing offices at the time was
