were so high that the school could
not be said to serve fully the ele-
ment of the population for which is
was founded-the poorer youths
who could not afford to go to private
schools.
DR.. Byrd appeared before the
committee in support of the budget
for the university for the 1946-47
biennium, saying that only 1S per
cent Of the money taken in at Col
lege Park is appropriated by the
State. The rest comes from stu
dents. Federal contracts, service
fees from individuals and organiza-
tions and other sources.
Committee Meetings Scheduled.
Meanwhile. legislators were slated
to meet at noon prior to getting
away for the week k-end recess. Only

shortened forms of criminal indict-
ments and the Senate passed one
local bill.

ment forms approved in the House

with deadly weapon, robbery, mur-
der. conspiracy, embezzlement, per.
Jury, false pretenses. bigamy, 70.

DR.. Byrd, in his testimony, dis.
closed plans for establishing an in.
stitute of Government at the uni.

and civic organization officials in
such things as accounting, personne
administration and buying.
He said requests for organization
OF facilities for instruction in gooe

Veterans Committee
Votes 10 Continue
Independent Service

Spokesman for nearly so public
and private agencies interested in
District veterans voted today to
continue the Committee on Services
to Veterans and War Workers de-
spite its abolition by the Commits
sioners last December.
The action was taken after Will
fred Putnam, committee vice
chairman. told the group meeting
in the United States Chamber OF
Commerce, the Commissioners leg
islated us out of existence as an Of
fetal body, but they can't legislate
us out of being citizens"
The Executive Committee was
authorized to set up a new organi-
cation of agencies and interested
citizens, and to report back with a
program.
The meeting also voted to place
on the committee personnel to cover
every field of service affecting vet
Grams.
Defends Center.
While spokeSmen referred only in
passing to the District Veterans
Information Center, which the Com
missioners established when they
abolished the committee headed by
E. c. Graham. Maj. Ennalls Wagga-
man, the center's director, asked to
be heard in defense of the center.
There's been a good deal of pot
shotting at the center" he declared.
I'VE think We have as good a center
as has been set up. We think all
this talk about 'one-stop' center in
New York is just talk. It's just the
same as ours, only more elaborate. "
Earlier, Charles T. Penn. who pre-
sided in the absence of Mr.. Gra-
ham, explained the meeting had
been called because we have beer
importuned by so many organiza =
tions and individuals who felt there
was ssln place in the community
for an organization with fields OF
service far beyond the scope of the
District Veterans Information Gen.
/ ter"
Mr.. Putnam described the three
month course of negotiations be-
tween the District sponsored COM
mittee and the Commissioners to
develop complete service to vet
Grams and the ultimate decision to
abolish the group without actin g on
most of its recommendations.
Reviews Conferences.
When the Executive Committee
met with the. Commissioners in Oc-
tober, he said, the Commissioners
assured the group of their full CO.
operation and expressed the opinion
that the budget presented by the
committee to carry on the proposed
program was reasonable A few
days later, he said. the Commission
ers wrote to announce there were
no funds available for the program
Mr.. Putnam reviewed one oc-
casion after another when the Com
missioners insisted on the commit
tee continuing it's work, but neg
lected to put any of its recommended
tions into action.
Taking philosophic view of the
Commissioners final action, Harold
Brooks, another committee vice
chairman, said that while the COM
fmittee was under the Commissioners
it was distinctly limited, but I'VE
can now do what we please"
1t was indicated that the com
munity group would seek the back
ing of agencies and cooperation OF
employers to insure jobs as we'll as
other needs on vocational, family

BrOwnout Starts.
With the brownout order officially
in effect for the first time last night
Washington's Thursday night shop
pers traversed the streets through
the encircling gloom and found few
electric signs beckoning them to
shops, restaurants and theaters, and
few Illuminated show windows.
In outlying areas the order was
not so strictly observed. Many shop
keepers apparently did not realize
that an electric sign hanging just
inside the glass of a store window
Is prohibited as show window light
ing. Instances where interior light
ing added to the illumination on
the streets were those where there
was no partition between store in
teriors and the show windows.
District police found only one vio-
lation of the brownout regulations
last night, according to Maj. Ed
ward j. Kelly, superintendent oi
police. The single offense occurred
In Connecticut avenue store, where
display lights were left burning. Po-
lice refused to divulge the name oi
the store, but said the proprietor
had been warned in line with the
policy established.

only in New York state, but all ov-
er the country to prevent discrimin-
alton in employment and we must
open the channels of employment
and trade to all people so that Ne
groes, for example, may be en-
ployed not only as unskilled or ev-
en- skilled workers in factories and
restaurants, but also as annually

companies, public utilities and de-

pretended here before the 18th an
nual all-star Negro baseball classic
started at Comiskey Park by agents
of the Federal Bureau of Identifi-

selling counterfeit admission tic

have decided to press charges
against the counterfeiters.
FBI agents refused to divulge the
name of the individuals involved or
to differentiate their racial identity
before complete report is released
through FBI channels. Several
thousand phony tickets are said to
have been captured in the possession
of the counterfeiters and it is esti-
mated that thousands were sold be-

brought out by DR.. Radin are:
"There are something like $780,
$1,000 inhabitants of India, among
people called Hindus who definitely
have black skin, and | know of no
case where an anthropologist has
ever doubted the fact that they be-
long to the white race.
''The American Negro, only a very
small portion of them, would be
called typical members of the Negro
race"
Asked about the possibility of de-
termining by blood tests, DR.. Radin
stated: "All the blood types agree
among all the races" and replied,
"That is right" to the question: $50
there would be no means of ascer-
tanning whether it was the blood of
Caucasian, or blood of a Negro
or blood of a Mongolian, or blood of
any other race?"
