BEST & CO. TO MOVE FARTHER ACROSS TOWN
Best & Co., which long has occupied leased quarters at 4433 Connecticut avenue
N.W., will shift its operations Monday to a newly built store at 4020 Wisconsin
avenue N.W. Need for larger selling and parking space necessitated the move.
An architect’s conception of the new store shows the distinctive style of the new
structure, which will house shopping facilities all on the ground floor. There
will be parking space for 200 cars. The Connecticut avenue store remains in op
eration through Saturday.
CHEST AGENCIES WATCH OMAHA,
TRYING COMBINED FUND DRIVE
OMAHA (VP). —Omaha, tackling something new in fund*
raising drives, is out to more than double the amount raised
last year in separate efforts of the Community Chest and
Red Cross.
Drive leaders are predicting success.
In a single campaign, fund raisers are seeking $3,323,147
for 47 community services, the Red Cross and a five year
building fund for those agencies. The building fund would
get $1,750,000 of the total.
A year ago separate drives for the community services and
Red Cross collected $1,490,408.
The building fund is new.
Yesterday, drive chairman Lloyd Mattson reported about
80 per cent of the $3,323,147 goal had been raised with
results still missing on 36 per cent of prospective givers.
He announced a week's extension of the drive which had
been scheduled to formally close today.
Mr. Mattson said the National Association of Community
Chests is keeping a close watch on the Omaha experiment.
“Many experts said that operating and building fund
drives just don't mix,” he explained.

Georgia Suit Tests
School Funds Law
On Segregation
i ATLANTA, Oct. 27 OP).—The
i State of Georgia has sued to test
State laws banning the use of
State, county or city funds for
the integration of public schools.
~ Attorney General Eugene Cook
launched the test yesterday in a
suit to prevent the city of Val
dosta, in South Georgia’s heavily
populated Negro district, from
spending any money to operate
mixed schools.
The suit was filed yesterday in
the Lowndes County Superior
Court and Judge George R. Lilly
issued a temporary injunction
and scheduled a hearing for No
vember 22.
| Attorney General Eugene Cook,
who filed the suit for Gov. Mar
vin Griffin, said it was filed for
'the purpose of getting a Georgia
Supreme Court ruling on validity
of Georgia statutes which pre
vent. use of State, county or city
funds to operate schools in which
both white and Negro children
sit in the same classroom.
"I may lose, of course,” Mr.
Cook said, “but I’m confident of
winning or I wouldn't have filed
th» suit.”
He agreed that the suit would
hasten a showdown on the school
segregation issue in Georgia.
"It demonstrates the deter
mination of both Gov. Griffin
land myself to close the schools
if integration is forced by a Fed
, Serai court order,” Mr. Cook de
clared.
