Cooperation Unaffected.
A. E. Demaray, associate director,
and other officials of the National
Park Service said Yesterday that
neither the transfer nor the placing
of the entire District recreation
setup under the school board and
the shifting of the salary of the
co-ordinator of recreation of the
Park Service, post now held by
Mr. Barrett, to that of a first assist
ant superintendent of schools. would
affect "in any way" the cooperation
which now exists between the Fed
eral and District agencies.
Civilian Conservation Corps en-
rollees. park designers and con-
struction and maintenance men will
continue to work on the recreatio
system as whole regardless of
jurisdiction, it was said.
Coming on top of consolidation of
the Playground and Community
Center Departments into one agen-
cy. which was done last summer,
the transfer move paves the way
toward what, in the minds of Off
cials, is the only logical solution
to the recreational muddle which
has beset the Capital for years
That is, the park office would have
charge of the maintenance and de-
velopment of the entire recreation
system. regardless of what agency
had jurisdiction over the particular
property involved, and the District
recreation agency would have
charge of all programs of activities.
supervisory personnel, permitting
and public contacts of all kinds.
Chief Difference Now.
Main difference of opinion now is
whether the District agency should
be under the Board of Education
alone or under a commission COM
posed of Representatives of the sew
eral agencies involved, as proposed
by Mr.. Wagner and Mr.. Sauers and
others before them.
There are indications that eventu-
ally those activities for which the
parks Office continues to be respon-
sible may be given over to the Dis
trict recreational agency, including
the tennis courts and swimming
pools now operated by the Welfare
and Recreational Association and the
golf courses now operated by the
