BARRED FROM SCHOOLS,
OFFICIALS SAY

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (ANP)-
All of New York's high school are
open to the children of Harlem, ac-
cording to statement from local
school officials.
In denying charges by the Rev.
Shelton Hale Bishop, rector of St.
Philips Episcopal church, that a
plot by the board of education was
underway to bar Negro high school
girls from taking academic work by
forcing them to go to the New York
Vocational High school in Harlem,
Frederic Ernst, associate superin-
tendent of schools, said "it is the
policy of the academic high schools
to permit the boys and girls of Har-
lem to enter academic high schools
outside of that community"
Ernst, who drafted his reply to
the charges following a meeting of
the advisory commission of the New
York Vocational High school last
week, was backed by DR.. John E.
Wade, associate superintendent of
schools George F. Pigott, Jr, asso-
ciate superintendent of schools, and
Mrs. Betty Hawley, Donnelly, exc
cutive secretary of the Advisory
board of Vocational education.
The aim of the New York Voca-

Playing Football For Pay Is OK.

WASHINGTON, (R - Byron tWhizzer) White says he can't see why it's wrong to play college football for pay if that's the only way you can get an education.
 "You must ask yourself" he told members of the ,"aSnlngton Touchdown club yesterday, "what might have happened to these boys had they not had the oppor- tunity to come to college and pay their way with football.
 And they'll have to prove to me that these players are being hurt by the system before I'll con- -demn it."
 The Whizzer, one of the more 1enrned muscle men of our time, came out of Colorado University with Phi Beta Kappa key and a Rhodes scholarship afte" a foot naN career which made him aA all-America halfoack in l95i.

Flight Of B-29's Would Be
 "Sword Rattling'
By BRAHAM HOVEY

WASHINGTON, P)-Secretary or State Byrnes today sought the l.awer to this ticklish question tossed at him by the war depart ment: Should he approve a round- the-world flight by fleet of army 3-29 Superforts?
 State department officials re- gard the problem as delicate for several reasons.
 First: They say the army air forces put Brynes on the spot by announcing October g. without consulting the state department that eight to 24 of the big bomberS would make the flight Eff the state department approves"
 Actually, the formal request for permission to carry out the pro- ject reached Byrnes' desk only late yesterday.
 Then, some department officials believe that since the end of the war, both the army and navy on occasion have attempted to edge into states field of charting Amer ican foreign policy. They regard the project as the latest of these attempts.
 In this connection, there is a strong desire by many high-level statement department officials to avoid any act that could be called sword rattling". They believe any large demonstrations of American military might could be exploited-particularly by Russia to discredit this country's mo- tives in international dealings.
