house about 225 cars and will be
about five stories high, with the
possibility of adding three or four

Parents Group
Fails in Effort
To See Truman
Students to Return
To Browne School,
But Not Annexes

A group Of 100 parents of students
at Browne Junior High School, who
have been boycotting the school,
today marched to the White House
in an attempt to see President Tru-
man to ask him to intercede in
their behalf in the current school
squabble.
Guards at the White House gate
told them they would have to ar
range an appointment. They then
walked to the Capitol to present
their case before Chairman Dirksen
of the House District Committee.
The parents, since December 3,
have been keeping the students out
of Browne School and its two new
annexes, Blow and Webb, as a pro-
test to the transfer of the Blow
and Webb buildings from white to
colored pupils.
They claim that the two ele-
mentary buildings are unsuitable for
junior high students and the result
is inadequate education for their
children
Investigation Asked.
Mr.. Dirksen was brought into the
affair after Edgar Brown, head of
the National Negro Council, re-
quested that a full scale congress
sional investigation of the school
system here be made. Mr.. Dirksen
Immediately asked for full partic-
ulars of conditions which led to the
boycott Of the three schools from
the Board of Education, school Of
f1cials and the District Commission
erS
The board already has sent its re-
port to Mr.. Dirksen.
The group assembled at Union
Station this morning and then
walked in group on the sidewalk
to the White House after police
informed them they could not pa
rade without permit.
Pray for Minute.
Mr.. Brown led the parents and
made the request for an audience at
the White House.
After they were turned down, they
formed across Pennsylvania avenue
from the White House and prayed
silently for a moment.
Last night the Browne Parent
Teacher Association met and de-
cided to send their children back to
Browne-but not to the Blow and
Webb buildings. The parents
planned to accompany them to the
school as further protest.
The boycott of Blow and Webb will
continue.
The idea, as explained by Elmer
House, chairman of the Citizens
Emergency Committee, is that the
parents don't want to keep their
children out of school, just out of
the Blow and Webb buildings.
Consequently. they are going to
accompany their children to Browne
when classes start Monday to con-
tinue their protests. Actually, it
will mean that about 500 of the 1900
children assigned to the three
schools still will not be in class, since
that number are scheduled to 20 to
Blow and Webb Schools in the
morning. s
The action followed a plea by Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle, president of
the Board of Education, that the
parents send their children back to
school. She addressed mass meet
ing Of the parents on Thursday
night.

Site for Airport
In Less Settled
Area Sought
Planners Eliminate
Kingmon Lake Isle,
2Other Possibilities
By Nelson M. Shepord

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission served notice
today 1t still wants an airport for
small, privately owned planes, close
enough to be useful but far enough
away from any "thickly settled de-
veloped part Of the District or its
suburbs to avoid becoming a public
nuisance.
Thus narrowing the field Of selec-
ton the planners again rejected
Barrier Island, in Kingman Lake, as
a suitable site, and tossed out of
consideration two other discussed
sites-the National Training School
for Boys on Bladensburg road and
Chillum Station, an area south of
Riggs road NE, between the B. & o.
Railroad and the District line.
In upholding the views of their
Co-ordinating Committee the plan
ners reaf1rmed their opposition to
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton, the Board of Trade and some
20 groups affiliated with the Wash
ington Aviation Planning Council,
hackers of Barrier Island. Former
Representative Jennings Randolph
and a delegation made futile, last
stand fight on behalf of the aviation
council, which Mr.. Randolph heads.
$4,000 Available.
Meanwhile, $4,000 in Federal
funds is available toward an air.
port any time-the planners Co.
ordinating Committee approves and
the District Commissioners match
the amount.
E. A. schmitt, head engineer of
the United States Engineers ONCE,
is chairman of the Co-ordinating
Committee that studied the airport
question over a long time. On it
are representatives of various public
agencies affiliated with the plan
ming commission.
Objection to the site of the Ma
tional Training School was based
generally on the indefinite status
of its availability. Before the war
it had been planned to move the
school to another site, and the ques-
tion is still hanging fire. The other
location, Chillum Station, is too
close to well-settled residential dis
tricts for low flying, it was con-
tended.
The Co-ordinating Committee will
continue its studies. Somewhere in
the Metropolitan Area, the commits
sion believes, there must be site
suitable for an airport.
School Addition Studied.
Turning to other matters, the
commission authorized it's staff to
work with all other agencies af-
fected on plans for the proposed
addition to the Armstrong High
School.
NCPPC also asked readjustment
of plans for the Payne School con-
struction at Fifteenth and c streets
Sc. The idea is to provide one
large playground on the property
instead of two small ones by shifting
the building site.
A resolution was adopted authoriz-
ing transfer of the Suitland- -Balti-
more parkway to the jurisdiction of
the National Park Service in view
of its Importance as an approach to
Washington.
The planners also acted to expe-
dite completion of original plans for
the ornamentation of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge, including the cut
ting of the roadway direct through
the Columbia Island traffic circle.
A study of traffic at the circle is
being made.

EDIT. Milo Boulton, who gained ma

heard as the master of ceremonies
for the meetings which will be dra-
matically unfolded.
The program formal was first
tested successfully as special Mu-
tual broadcast on Friday, March IA,
last, when, on behalf of the National
Society For Crippled Children and
Adults, a reunion was effected be-
tween Vic Mature, motion picture
star, and 14-year-old Pittsburgh
girl who had met Vic two years be-
fore when she was a hospitalized
invalid and looked upon him as her
idol. Similarly, the regular series
presentations will attempt to effect
meetings between long-separated
relatives, friends, heroes-meetings
which have formed bases for innum-
cradle dreams and cherished hopes,
but which could never before be eff
fected
A portion of the first program will
outline the plans of father to To-
cate and visit the grave of his war
hero son, reported missing in action
in the Obi theater in the recent war.
