Rossellini Request
Posiponed by Court
Rome (I? A Rome mag
istrate's court today postpon
ed indefinitely movie director
Roberto Rossellini's legal bat
tle for annulment of his mar
riage to actress Ingrid Berg
man. Attorneys for Miss Berg
man and Rossellini -asked
Judge Mario Elia for a post
ponement until a time to be
fixed by them and he im
mediately gave his permis
sion.
Neither Rossellini nor Miss
Bergman was present. Rossel
lini flew to Paris Wednesday
night. Miss Bergman was in
London completing a picture
with Cary Grant.
Rossellini's quest was based
on grounds that Swedish law
did not recognize Miss Berg
man's divorce from her first
husband, Swedish surgeon Pe
ter Lindstrom, and that the
marriage to Rossellini there
fore was not valid.
In London the Swedish ac
tress told United Press she
would return to Rome at the
end of the week but not in
connection with the annul
ment proceedings.

New York IPi School and
city officials, faced with fresh
teen-age violence and parent
teacher criticism of a new
school anti-crime program, ap
pealed to the state today for
more money to help curb stu
dent lawlessness.
Pupils beat or stabbed two
student monitors in schools in
Manhattan and the Bronx
Wednesday, and at another
school detectives arrested a
19-year-old youth who admit
ted, they said, that he had
robbed two pupils in the
school to get money for nar
cotics.
Dr. William Jansen, super
intendent of schools, and
Charles H. Silver, Board of
Education president, was to
ask state officials arid legis
lators in Albany today for
more state aid for the schools.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner also
planned to confer there with
Gov. Averell Harriman on
ways to improve New York
City's violence-beset schools
Critics Hit Budget
A barrage of criticism from
parent, teacher and citizens
groups hit the Board's $520
million budget for 1958-59
when it was submitted form
ally to the city budget direct
or Wednesday. The budget in
cludes funds for adding six
new schools in which youth
ful trouble makers and de
linquents would be segregat
ed from other pupils, as part
of an anti-crime program
adopted by the Board Tues
day.
Organizations called the
program warmed-over, "sup
erficial," "bankrupt" and "in
adequate." The United Parents associa
tion asked the Board to seek
more money and charged that
its "new" program actually
contained nothing new. The
Teachers Union said "there is
no cheap way out of this
school crisis" and the Citi
zens' Committee for the Chil
dren of New York, Inc. said
the plan was "boomed to
fail" unless it became part
of a "realistic" state and local
program.
Monitor Stabbed
In the latest outbreaks of
violence that in recent weeks
has included two rapes and
several beatings and rob
beries, a 14-year-old Negro
student stabbed monitor
Philip Romano, 15, when the
monitor stopped him from en
tering Henry Hudson Junior
High school before the open
ing bell rang. Romano was
hospitalized with two stab
wounds near the abdomen.
Later, three students at
George Washington High
school beat 16-year-old Frank
Sloan so severely he was
taken to a hospital with a
brain concussion.
At the High School of
Music and Arts in Manhat
tan, detectives arrested Rob
ert Asby, 19, who said he was
recently released from seven
months of hospital treatment
for drug addiction. They said
he confessed robbing two stu
dents of wristwatches and
money Jan. 27 and last Tuesday!
Violence in Broklyn Junior
High School Not Race Problem
Editor's note: This If the first of
two articles about crlminial vio
lence in schools.
By ALBERT McCOLLOUGH
United Press Correspondent
New York IP) A junior
high school principal flings
himself to death from a rooftop.
He has headed a school
where in the past few weeks:
A white girl has been raped
by a Negro boy in a corridor.
Two Negro boys attack an
other with a knife and a
shovel handle.
Two Negro boys fight a po
liceman who ordered them to
move away from the school
grounds.
Two other Negro boys beat
up the school's white recrea
tion director.
The school is John Marshall
Junior High school in Brook
lyn. It has 1,214 students
45 per cent white, 45 per cent
Negro and 10 per cent Puerto
Rican.
The violence leads a Missis
sippi congressman to "hope"
New York's National Guard
will not be federalized. It
draws from Arkansas Gov.
Orval Faubus the caustic
query of what similar be
havior at Little Rock Central
High school would have pro
voked.
Is this specific New York
school case, then, an indict
ment of the evils of trying to
integrate the public schools?
Or is it a manifestation of
vicious juvenile crime that is
plaguing every large city in
the nation regardless of race
problems?
Not a Race Question
One significant fact is this:
In conversations with teach
ers, students, parents, police
and small shop merchants in
the neighborhood, the race
question is seldom mentioned
as a reason for the violence.
This has long been a melting
pot area in a city that is a
melting pot.
It so happens that Negroes
were involved in most of
these incidents. And the grand
jury now investigating Brook
lyn schools was called because
a judge was angered by the
case of a Negro boy who
walked into a classroom and
threw lye into the face of a
white boy. After sentencing
the attacker the judge called
the jury. But many incidents
in the city's schools have in
volved white offenders.
What's more, most of the
youths involved in the inci
dents at John Marshall were
not from that school. They
were involved in what has be
come a favorite trick for
young hoodlums playing
hookey from their own school
and raising trouble in anoth
er where they are not known.
'Problem Schools'
One proposed remedy is
segregation not by race but
segregation, of the juvenile
delinquents , and troublesome
students into "problem
schools" apart from the oth
ers. A Visit to John Marshall
disclosed teachers shocked at
the suicide of Principal
George Goldfarb, a dedicated
educator only two years from
retirement. Parents are wor
ried, some pupils tough and
belligerent, some just plain
scared. Few teachers will talk
with reporters.
Mothers, members of the
PTA, for a long time have
helped keep order in the halls.

After Goldfarb's suicide, they
checked students in and out,
barred entrance to adults
without business there. Now
a policeman patrols inside
school as do officers in 40
New York public schools.
Step into a luncheonette
across from John Marshall,
while you wait for classes to
end, and listen:
"It's changed," a man says.
"We were happy when we
first moved here.
Started Ten Years Ago
"It seemed to happen over
night, though it really started
10 years ago, I guess, when
they started the projects.
(Public housing projects built
a few blocks away in what
was a neighborhood of one
family homes.)
"But three years ago was
when the troubles really be
gan. The muggings, robberies,
rapes. They happen all the
time now. It isn't safe here
anymore. You don't go out
at night and you worry in
the daytime, too. My wife, my
daughter, they're afraid . . ."
A woman enters, joins, the
talk. "I've been living here
over 20 years, 13 of them
right across from the school.
My kid goes there. I tremble
until she comes home."
What is she going to do
about it?
"Nothing! I'm not doing
anything. You live here, you
can't move away. Do I form
committees? Do I join com
mittees? No. I don't make any
fuss. My kid goes to school
here and I don't want her to
get hurt."
