C0L0RED SCHOOL
: SITE IS APPROVED
Education Board Reaffirms
= Stand, 6 to |, Despite
Strong Protest.

Despite the vigorous protests of Henry
Gilligan, chairman Of its Legislative
Committee, who charged that a colored
school was being "foisted upon a white
community" the Board of Education late
yesterday reaffirmed its approval of the
purchase of a colored school site at
Bates road and Allison street.
The meeting at which the board
took the action ending the allegiance in
which it had held purchase of the
land fol two weeks was attended by a
delegation of IS citizens bent upon
registering further disapproval of the
plan.
Presents Arguments.
In his arguments with the board Mr.
Gilligan opposed efforts to establish \
four-roon colOred school within halt
mile of the Keene (White) Sc ool, and
contenoed that the board members have
duty to the TAXPAYERS of the District
to prevent the spending OF public funds
on buildings that are not needed. He
had said that personal survey of the
Bates road neighborhood convinced him
that it was a strictly white residential
area. with not enough colored children
to warrant a new building for them.
This board is committing an awful
act against very determined protest
on the part Of these citizens" he &C.
clared with an illustrative wave of his
hand toward the assembled delegation.
Only two of the protesting residents
were heard. however, when board MEM
bers expressed their unwillingness to re-
celve the same testimony that was pre-
sented at its stormy session two weeks
ago. At that time the bcard agreed to
ask the Commissioners to postpone final
purchase of the proposed site pending
study of the submitted evidence.
Board Votes to 1.
Before the board voted yesterday, DR..
Frank w. Ballou. superintendent, offered
to pledge himself tp refuse to ask Con-
gress for an appropriation for the build
ing if, by the time the next appropria-
ton bill goes to Congress. the colored
school population in the Bates road sec
tion shows an appreciate decline.
The boards vote on its rea ffiirmation
was s to l, with Gilligan casting the
only dissenting vote
At the suggestion of its Committee
on Building, Grounds and equipment, the
School Board yesterday voted to re-
quest the Com miSsioners to give con-
sideraticn to structural harmony in the
design and construction of additions to
existing school buildings. Citing the
new addition to the Janney School. the
committee reported that the exterior

ANTITRUST PROBE
WEIGHED IN HOUSE
Demands for Revision Of
Business Laws Up to
Rules Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The halter which the Government
fashioned for big business in the
horse-and- buggy days when he traded
in the not too distant future for equip
ment better fitted to guide 1t in this
swift-moving era.
Long gathered demands for revision
of the antitrust laws have been met
with a formal request by the House
Judiciary Committee for authority to
investigate the whole structure of
business controlling law, with a view
to recommending changes.
Up to Rules Committee.
The request is in the hands of the
Rules Committee, Democratic con-
trolled, as are all the House working
groups. and upon it's decision probably
will rest the fate Of the proposal.
Chairman Summers of the Judiciary
Committee pointed out that no impor
tant revision of these laws has been
made in 20 years. He merely hinted
at Tie COuIoC VI DuoAliCoo
and industry since that time-the
enormous expansion and branching out
in directions then undreamed of.
But, he pointed out. there are press
ing demands for bringing the statutes
up to date One big group wants ap-
proval for trade agreements and con-
solidation of interests on an even more
gigantic scale than now obtains. An
other wing Of opinion fears the inde-
pendance of the small business man
and industrialist is being crushed in
an economic wise from which present
statutes cannot save him.
Would Probe Movies.
1--WE are at the forks of the road,
said Summers. The question is whether
We shall protect the fast disappearing
little man in business and industry
or let him go and permit concentrated
businesses to control the situation"
At the same time another big busi-
ness investigation was proposed in the
Senate Senator Brookhart of Iowa
promised a resolution next week to look
into the motion picture industry. He
has had many complaints. he said, and
intends to do something about it. De-
tails will be forthcoming in a speech
