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.
Flu Upswing
Predicted
SACRAMENTO IUP1) - The

flu outbreaks occur in two or three
year cycles. The last occurred
during the first three months of
I960 and caused 3,500 "excess
deaths," of which 1,000 were di
rectly attributable to influenza;
and pneumonia.
The department said that Cali
fornia was "overdue" for Type B
influenza outbreaks, which occur
in four to six year cycles. "It
has been more than six years
since there has been much Type
B in California," the department
said.
'Fallout'
Endangers
NV China
TAIPEI. 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.
The reports said the highest ra
dioactivity count since 1954 was
recorded by scientists near the
northern .tip of Honshu, Japan's
main island.
