more than 5000 colored pupils to &

Duncan Made Charge.
John B. Duncan, representing the
Benning Heights Civic Association
charged the plants are unsafe. He
cited testimony from House Ap-
preparations Subcommitte hearing
earlier this year that the plants &c
out of service constantly" during
the cold weather and that often II
is impossible to keep coal gas from
escaping into the class rooms.
Mr.. Duncan accused DR.. Corning
of making this statement and then
last week at the board hearing on
the transfer question, taking the
stand that. the heating plants are
all right. DR.. Corning explained the
testimony before Congress was not
his out was apparently a justif1ca-
ton Of the request for money to
replace the furnaces under regular
schedule, whereby all furnaces are
renewed at intervals.
Lee Takes Issue.
Board Member Adelbert w. Lee
took violent issue with DR.. Corning
on the point, saying: you are re-
sponsible. Your duty is to know
these things"
DR.. Corning replied:
IT dislike the implication that any
thing has been covered up. I stated
openly they were old"
This led to further words. After
the meeting, Mr.. Lee continued the
argument, accusing DR.. Corning OF
not giving him proper respect" as
board member. They Went into al
adjoining Office and continued thej,
| talk until other board members
made peace between them:
George b. c. Hayes, colored board
member, opened the meeting by de-
claring he favors the transfers a
q temporary measure.
He reminded the board that many
organizations with which he was
connected were against the propo.
sails. Mr. Hayes is q past president
of the District Chapter of the Ma.
tiona1 Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People and menu
ber' of the Committee for Racial
Democracy in the Nations Capital
IT am mindful that I'm out of ster
with people with whom my opinions
have agreed often," he said.
Mr.. Hayes said he had considered
the proposals carefully and had de-
cided that the advantages gained
by the children far outweighed any
or Inconvenience
which might result.
Mr.. Hayes said he is against segre-
cation, but that, by opposing the
transfer of the schools, no possible
gain toward the goal of abolishing
segregation would be made.
John A. Wilson, another colored
board member, said he had no COM
ment to make. Mrs. James w.
Williams, the third colored board
member, is opposed to the plan.

"This brings me to an important
conclusion" he asserted. "It is this

of many of the present differences

there is no truth whatsoever in these

He recalled that since World War

have assisted areas that had been
under their flags to achieve full in
dependence, rather than annexed
new territory. On the other hand,
he asserted "the Soviet Union has
In effect considerably expanded her

Gen. Marshall said he assumed
much of the 'vituperation" voiced
against Americans by Soviet spokes-
men during the current United Ma

York was intended "for pure propa-
ganda purposes"
"But I also assume" he added,
"that there may have been some
genuine feeling that the purposes of

Of most of the American press were
definitely hostile to the Soviet
Union"
Will Avoid Propaganda.
Gen. Marshall said he would seek
to avoid statements in the London
meeting for mere propaganda effect

Drop in Building Costs
Is Seen by Holden in
Talk 10 Contractors

Reduction Of building costs was
predicted today by Thomas S.
Holden, president Of the r. w.
Dodge Corp, New York, who said
the postwar cost Of construction
may be stabilized at 10 per cent
above the 1899 average
Mr.. Holden addressed the Con-
struction Industry Advisory Council,
meeting at the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce. His prediction Of
reduced costs was based on the ex-
pectation that excess costs caused
by shortages would be eliminated
In time
Mr.. Holden said his company's
estimates indicate only o moderate
increase in 194s construction over
-1s47. He put the increase in resi-
Dental building at only per cent,
accounted for mostly by increases
In the building Of apartments and
hotels.
Recession Is Expected.
A survey Of opinions of leading
economists, Mr.. Holden said. tndi-
Gated In general a belief that whole
sale commodity prices would in
crease until the spring of 1948, turn
downward and reach sterilization in
the spring Of 1949 at about 70 per
cent above the 1899 average.
A majority Of the economists ex-
-4pected q business recession next
: year, but most felt 1t would be mild
Or only moderately serious, Mr.
: Holden said
. It is unrealistic today to talk Of
o Accent steak, and 1t Is similarly
unrealistic to compare $1,000 house
in 1889 with a $4,000 house today.
Robert w. McChesney, president of
the National Electrical Contractors
q. Association, told the group earlier.
= ALI Prices Are Up.
THE whole price level has moved
>np," Mr.. McChesney said.
80, Mr.. McChesney conceded that the
price Of housing Is high, but said
"the men who build these houses
have to pay around 81 a dozen for
.seggs and rs cents pound for beef"
- "The high cost of building" he
said, "is due to four primary fac
tors: The high cost of taxes, the
high cost of materials, the high cost
of labor and the unsteady flow of
materials and labor to the job"
- Criticism Called "Smearx."
Critics of the construction in
7dustry, Mr. McChesney said, have
made it an emotional and political
Issue and the attacks on the in
dustry are not criticism but
"smears."
c. II. H. Weikel, commercial re-
search manager. Bethlehem Steel
Co., told the meeting that additional
steel shipments abroad can be made
only at the expense of domestic
users. Shipments to the construc-
ton industry in 1e47, he said, will
be nearly $4,000, 900 tons, or go per
cent more than in 1910.

retary of Commerce, was scheduled

In 1898, Iocatelli and his wife
undertook a trip around the world.
They spent Is months in Java and
Bali, where he painted on invita-
ton of the Netherlands govern
ment. The painting now at the
Corcoran was done there. In mid
summer, 1910, the Locatellis arrived
in Manila, and the artist was soon
painting portraits of officials and
their families there, including Mrs.
Francis B. Sayre (wife of the United
States High Commissioner at that
time), who is now living in Wash
ington.
When the japanese occupied the
Philippines, the Locatellis were kept
under surveillance. The artist deeply
resented the invaders, was dis
traught and restless and lost in
terest in his work. Early in 1943,
he disappeared; there have been no
clues to his fate. When the Ameri-
cans returned in 1914, the Japanese
burned his home, destroying more
than 10 paintings. His wife, who
had joined the Filipino underground
movement, went to work as a
translator with our Army, as she
speaks five languages. She is now
in the United States. THE Cock

Mitchell Jamieson's first one-man
show since his discharge from the
Navy opened yesterday at the
Whyte Gallery to remain through
February 28. It is an excellent
group of paintings in oil, gouache
and water color, most of them done
in the last year, with sever from
his service years. The contrasts be-
tween these war paintings and the
pastorals of 1916 demonstrate the
scope of his talent. The latest work
has been done since he was awarded
O Guggenheim Fellowship last year.
For a decade Mr.. Jameson has
been recognized as one Of the most
gifted of Washingtons young art
lists. He has an impressive record.
Born in Kensington, Md, in 1915, he
attended Central High School and
studied at the Corcoran School OF
Art and the Abbott School. Ten
years ago he was sent to Key West
and the Virgin Islands to paint
under the Treasury Art Project.
Froen 1887 to 1910 he painted murals
for post Offices in Upper Marlboro
and Laurel, Md; Willard, Ohio, and
the Interior Department. He was
commissioned in 1910 to do a series
of paintings on the estate Of Henry
, Morgenthau and at Hyde Park for
President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
Upon the outbreak of war he was
one Of seven painters commissioned
to record defense activities for the
Oflce of Emergency Management.
He served as Navy combat artist
in European and Pacific war areas
fros1 1912 to 1945. for which service
he received citation and Bronze
Star Medal. In autumn, 1945, the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art showed a
comprehensive selection from his
war paintings and drawings IN all
theaters.
MIR. Jameson now lives in Linden,
Va, and has drawn inspiration from
the neighboring country. There are
several beautiful panoramas OF the
Blue Ridge Mountains with superb
skies as well as landscapes. The
warmth of summer and the pene-
trating chill of December are effec-
lively conveyed in these canvases.
The artists fresh, clear color, good
composition, undistorted forms and
appealing subjects make these
paintings eminently "livable" for
home decoration.
Outstanding is his interior with a
portrait of his wife reading, hand
some composition in red, warm
browns and golden yellow. The war
paintings, ranging from the tragic
'Bleeding in the Jungle" and Death
of a City" to glimpses Of United
States vessels in foreign harbors,
will recall to many Washingtonians
the remarkable record Mr.. Jameson
made for the Navy, selections from
which have been shown in several
Washington galleries.
