CHARGE DISCRIMINATION
The proposal to change the
school has been questioned by
the residents who claim that
Negro students ae discriminate

catlon-trade school set-up.
Under the trade school ar
the Detroit Board Of
Education would provide the ia
cllitieS and administer federal
funds provided by the Smith
Hughes Act of 1917 TO pay sal
aries of instructors.
Because of its record of
harmonious school-communitY
relationships. the school has
become a fixture in the dis
trict. The school building has
been used as the center for
nearly all mass recreation
programs. Current public
plans for developing adequate
facilities indicate no prospects
for al least a ten year period.
A survey of the neighbor-
hood by the Board OF Educa-
ton indicated that the school
could be closed most easily with
the least upset The deadline
IN student enrolment in the

several elementary schools in

18th Street BUILDING
Bought by Baptists
For Church Offices

The District Baptist Convention
and the Baptist World Alliance have
purchased the four story residence
at 1923 Sixteenth street NV. for
use as an office building. it was an
nounced today.
Approximately 100000 was paid
for it.
The building was bought from

was willed to the church last Oc-
tober by the late Capt. John Rufus

in September at the age of rs.

Razing Of kann Warehouse
Ruins May Start Today

Rszing of the charred shell that
housed the S. Kann Sons Co. ware
house. at $40 Eighth street NV,
probably will get under way today OF
tomorrow, store officials said.
Little more than the framework
Of the fifth floor, propped up against
adjoining buildings, remained after
the 100000 fire that destroyed the
warehouse Tuesday. This will be
pulled down to the level of the other
rubble with the help of a crane.
Fire Marshal Ray Roberts said his
Office had interviewed all employees
on the premises when the fire broke
out and that 1t still is impossible to
determine the cause exactly. The
two causes advanced as most prob
able were defective wiring and care
less smoking.
1t has been determined, however,
that the blaze originated in a rack
of chenille throw rugs on the third
floor, Mr.. Roberts said.
Whether Kann's will rebuild at the
same location, or at all, is something
to be decided later. said B. B. Bur-
gunder, jr., a store official.

Capital Transit Arbitrators
Weigh Pay for CLEANING Up

The question of whether Capital

At yesterdays session in the

agreed with a union contention that
employees should be paid after work
to clean, up, put tools away and
clean machinery.
The arbitration board, hearing
evidence in the unions demand fol-
a IS per cent wage increase and
other gains, expects to complete Its
work next week and take the matte,
