planned that "the university must
conduct its affairs so as to avoid
difficulties over racial issues"
Censorship Is Denied.
AS to the charge that The Dia-
mondback is under censorship of
Dean James H. Reid, DR.. Byrd
asserted no censorship exists, adding
that the administration has been
criticized at times for not exercising
closer supervision over the student
paper.
DR.. Byrd said he had not yet
talked to Dean Reid or to Miss Ann
Troxell, student editor Of the pubh-
cation, but understood that both
had denied the censorship charges
DR.. Byrd said he was puzzled as
to the charge by Mr.. Nitzberg that
the university had accepted dona-
ton from William Randolph Hearst
for a scholarship in connection with
a new Americanization program at
the university.
Newspaper Donation Cited.
He said the $50, 900 donation came
from the Baltimore News-Post and
as far as Americanization is con-
cerned, there Is no principal for
which I would rather fight"
He said the only reason for the
charge, insofar as he could see, is
the fact that a small minority at
the university have expressed oppo-
sition to the Americanization pro-
gram.
DR.. Byrd fatty denied Mr.. Nitz-
berg's charge that professors at the
university must conduct six weeks
of summer classes without pay. He
said most professors are paid on a
12-month basis, and those paid
only for the regular winter sessions
are not required to teach during
the summer.
Lines of Distinction Drawn.
Referring again to the charge that
colored preachers and entertainers
are barred from the campus, DR..
Byrd said:
Il must call attention to the fact
that the State of Maryland is one
of those States in which a bi-racial
educational system exists, and the
university is part of that system.
"a system of this kind requires, at
times, fine lines of distinction. In
drawing these lines it is only natural
that some people may not be in
complete agreement with what may
or may not be done by those charged
with the responsibilities.
I'm general, we try to conduct our
affairs so as to avoid difficulties
over racial issues. I do not know
of the incident referred to in the
charge, but would not have the
slightest objection to stating actual
facts in connection with such Incl
! dents If I knew them"

81 per cent, or from $50 to 43O
since 1910 because a number OF
old persons have gotten war jobs
Mr.. Huff told the committee.
Referring to $4,000 raised by
residents OF Cleveland Park, to
match a similar District sum for q
library site. Chairman Coffee said
Il think this is proof that the
people of the city of Washington
have plenty of public spirit, con-
trary to some popular misconcep-
ton"
William A. Van Duzer, trafic
director, told the committee that
last year 43 per cent OF cars
previously registered in the Dis
trict passed mechanical inspection
on the first inspection, while only
18 per cent Of the cars from Mary
lard being registered in the Dis
trict passed on their first inspection
The same figure for Virginia was
70 per cent.
Howard Wentworth, an assistant
to Mr.. Van Duzer, explained that an
enlarged educational safety CAM
paign was necessary to re-educate
returning military personnel, many
of whom are used to driving tanks
and jeeps without traffic rules.
Raymond B. Ward, District water
registrar, informed the committee
that during the hearing last year
$98 ,297 in bills were outstanding and
that the amount on April % of this
year was only $18,889, reduction Of
$79, ,408. He said a survey was being
made to determine the cost of in
stalling meters on all services and
of placing municipality owned me-
ters outside rather than inside build
ings. This would facilitate reading
and prevent any tampering, it was
explained.
Chairman Coffee showed consid-
cradle interest when school officials
.eported that enrolment for white
children had decreased Is per cent
since 1898, while the number of
colored students has risen to 48 per
cent Of the total enrolment Of st.
268. In the 1930's the percentage
used to be 66 per cent white stu
dents and 80 per cent colored.
Supt. Robert L. Haycock explained
the shift by pointing to the gradual
exodus of white families into more
modern homes in Virginia and
Maryland. He said the encroach-
ment of commercial districts on
residential districts had caused
many people to seek better homes
and better communities"
