Another Building Brings
Protest Resolution.

Following the adoption Of o resolu.
ton last night by the executive COM
mittee Of the Park View Citizens Asso-
citation requesting the immediate re-
scinding of the transfer Of the 55 Park

ing, 1t was announced today that Fred
8, Walker, president of the association,
would head the committee which Is to
appear before the Board of Education
tomorrow on behalf Of the transferred
children.
The resolution which the committee
adopted last night IS being forwarded
It follows: I'VE move that the Park
View Citizens Association use every eff
fort to secure continuance in the Park
View Platoon School of the pupils re-
Gently ordered to Monroe School. and
that new pupils of families IN which
older children are attending Park
View School also be permitted to at
tend that school.
And, further. as the Park View
School is the only platoon in the Dis
trict of Columbia, that any parents
in the Park View community desiring
that their children attend that school
should be allowed the privilege"
Ely's Report Is Submitted.
Concurrent with the forwarding Of
the resolution to the school board onl-
GERS, 1t was learned today that the
report and recommendations on the
Park View, battle OF the boundaries"
that Selden M. Ely, supervising princi-
pal Of the fifth division, was requested
to make by the superintendent OF
schools, had been presented to his i'm
mediate superior. Robert L. Haycock.
- e,,noriVofnndant in CHARGE nj
elementary schools. to whom Mr.. Ely
is directly responsible. He would not
divulge the reports contents.
Mr.. Haycock explained that, since
the report was requested as a result OF
the action of the school board two
weeks ago, 1t should not be revealed
until its presentation to the board. For
the same reason, Mr.. Ely would not
comment on his report. saying merely
that he had complied with instructions
given him and that the document now
Is in the hands of Mr.. Haycock.
Last nights meeting Of the executive
committee of the Park View citizens
group was held at Mr.. Walkers resi-
dence, 76O Rock Greek Church road.
Stand Is Set Forth Clearly.
It formerly had been understood that
the meeting was to be special meeting
Of the whole association. and, without
subsequent announcements by the ON
GERS of the association, at least score
of interested parents went to the Park
View School last night, despite the rain,
to attend the session. It was learned
at that time that the only announce
ment concerning the status Of the
scheduled meeting had been posted as
a bulletin in the branch post office To-
Gated at the school. Only few persons
saw the notice.
The resolution, which the executive
committee adopted. set forth clearly
the stand of the Park View Citizens
Association in regard to the refusal Of
the parents Of the SIS children to send
their children to the Monroe School in
accordance with the transfer order, it
was explained today. The action was
regarded further as an answer to
charges that the association in open
meeting last March adopted a resolu-
ton favoring the transfer. This latter
contention has been made by. officers
Of the. Monroe School, Parent-Teacher
Association. who also are members OF
the Park View Citizens group.
