Attorney Gets Paid For Drive ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)-A lawyer! in an Albany suburb has bees of' fered a contract whereby he would be paid $1,300 a year by his school district for driving his two daugn. ten to a private school in the family car. The lawyer, Walter F. Wessen dorf Jr., bid for the contract and h?s it but has not returned it, signed to the school district, the district business manager 6aid to day; The manager said the con' tract would not be final until the state approved it. The district awarded the con tract or transportation to the Al bany Academy for Girls, under terms of a state law that extended the distance districts must trans port pupils who choose to attend parochial and other private schools. Wessendorf was the lowest of two bidders on a contract to transport his daughters to school, the superintendent of the Guilder- land Central School District said. Wessendorf's automobile has been licensed by the State Public Serv ice Commission and is, in effect, a school bus for the two girls, Supt. Alton U. Farnsworth said. "The stale doesn't say a parent can't bid on transportation of his, children, he said. The law, which went into effect at the start of this school year, requires school districts to supply transportation for pupils within tile district to schools they choose within 10 miles of their homes. "We don't like the law, but we have to live with it," Farnsworth said. I Parents of pupils attending pri vate schools must request trans portation from the district, Wes sendorf, who practices law from his home, made the request, thel school official said. The superintendent said the dis trict uses its own buses within the district, provides bus tokens for high school pupils attending pri vate, schools and lets'contracts for other needed transportation. The Wessendorf children were the only ones attending Albany Academy for Girls whose parents had asked for transportation, Farnsworth said.

Law Suits Fly As Liz Taylor Films Big Epic ROME (UP!) Actress Eliza- beth Taylor and the film "Cleo patra appeared to be in trouble today only 48 hours after the much-delayed epic went before the cameras. Law suits were flying around. Even the Italian Communist party was trying to get into the act charging segregation between Negro and white extras on the set which, they said, had been turned into "an Italian Little Rock." These were developments on the film, originally scheduled to start a year ago, and which finally got under way Monday: A Rome real estate agency filed an $1,800 suit against Miss Taylor claiming she did not pay them the commission on the $3,000 a month villa she rented here. The Italiana Galatea Film Productions filed suit against 20th Century-Fox, which is making Cleopatra, claiming ' notable damages" for not using lis serv ices on the film as allegedly con tracted for in 1959. The Communist organ tlnlta jlashed a front page story with pictures under i the headline American racism lor ueo- palra. The story claimed that Negro and white dancers working for the film were segregated in separate buses for their drive out to Cin-I ecitta IKilm City) every day and that they were forbidden to mix on the set. Cleopatra officials denied the segregation charges and they were supported by American and Hal lan newsmen who have seen no signs of segregation on the "Cleo patra" set.

Formosa (UPD-Radio Peiping has warned that the pop ulation of northwest China threatened by "dense and poison ous radioactive fallout" coming from the Soviet Union, National Chinese intelligence sources re ported today. The Chinese Communist radio station was reported to have made the warning in an "emergency an nouncement" which was monitored here by Nationalist intelligence agents. The radio was quoted as saying that the situation in Sinkiang Province bordering on Russia is so serious that the Communist People's Provincial Government urged inhabitants to leave the region. Nationalist sources said the Communist radio broadcast also said the Peiping regime ordered Red troops in binkiang to help people leavn by providing them with vehicles and boats. The official Chinese radio sta tion issued the warnings twice on Tuesday night, the Nationalist sources said. Peiping Radio, they said, quoted reports from the weather station j in Sinkiang as saying that the "dense" fallout had resulted from Soviet nuclear tests in central Asia. Nationalist intelligence sources said it was the first time that Peiping admitted that there was harmful fallout in Communist China. Radio Peiping was quoted as asking people in Sinkiang Province to report immediately to local au tliorities if they have skin burns, severe headaches, or feel unusual ly tired. In Tokyo today, Japanese news papers also said there had been "sudden, alarming jumps in aerial dust and a rain radioactivity" in central, northern and northeast ern Japan.

They had seven gallons for the four days. 1 Return Home PAHOA, Hawaii (API Fam ilies driven from their homes on Hawaii island's southeast coast by the threat of erupting Kilauea volcano began returning to their farms today.
