County Is Threatened Maryland Facilities
With Suit Over Jai|ing For Negro Graduate
OF Sick Storekeeper Study Urged by Byrd

Establishment OF graduate school
facilities at the University of Mary
lands Negro branch-which may
make it unnecessary to admit col
ored persons at College Park-has
been urged by DR.. H. c. Byrd, uni
versity president.
The request. which involves the
initial expenditure of $3,755,000 at
the university's Negro branch, the
Princess Anne State College, was
contained in report submitted to
the State Legislative Council.
Il am confident that if funds are
granted to carry out the program,
this problem will be solved to the
satisfaction of the white. race and
to the equal satisfaction OF the
Negro race" Dr.. Byrd said.
He said the intent Of his request
has been widely misinterpreted.
DR.. Byrd pointed out that under
State law the university is required
to provide facilities for all students
regardless of race, color or creed.
/ This cannot be done at present
with respect to graduate work. DR.
Byrd explained. He said requests
by Negroes for admission to the
university's graduate school are in
creasing and it is becoming increas-
ingly expensive to pay for their
tuition at out-of- State schools.
/ There are no Negroes in the uni
versity's graduate school. now, al
though its law school IN Baltimore
has admitted Negroes since court
decision 13 years ago. y
DR.. Byrd emphasized that his
proposal did not necessarily mean
that Negroes would have to be sd-
mitted to the universitya graduate
school at College Park. But he
said If certain facilities are not
available at Princess Anne or at
the Morgan State College at Balti-
more, the applicants, if properly
qualified, would have to be admit
ted to graduate classes at College
Park.
In the report DR., Byrd also asked:
That Negroes continue to take
unoergraouale courses at tne Trln-
cess Anne and Morgan State COL
leges.
That advisory boards be set up,
composed of Negroes, for the two
Institutions.
That an adequate number of
scholarships be established under
the direction of the university's
Board of Regents for qualified Ne
gro students in the fields of medi-
cine, dentistry, engineering and
pharmacy outside the State.
That arrangements be made for
cooperative graduate work between
the College Park facilities and those
at Morgan State and Princess Anne
Colleges.

BY the Assoeiotsd Prsss

ANNAPOLIS, Nov 19.-Eugene

year-old Marsha Brill, yesterday
carried an appeal from his death
sentence to the Court of Appeals

road and hit the Dumont's car al
most head-on.
BY a miracle, none Of the children
was hurt in the accident. They were
taken into town by Mrs. Dumont's s
former landlady and cared for until
their parents could leave the hos.
pital.
The cost of saving a human life
is high. Mr.. Dumont had several
broken ribs and a punctured lung
which healed slowly: and the cash
on his wife's face from her fore
head to her left cheek required the
most skillful medical treatment
When they learned what the price
of this care would be. the Dumonts
were almost desperate.
Bill Paid Out of Fund.
The Hospital Service +, Agency,
backed oy the Community Chest
disqualification fund, paid the bill.
Mr.. Dumont, who left the hospi-
tai before his injuries were healed
to start looking for a job, said he
would pay it back.
II have never asked for anything
in my life" he said, but we are
very grateful to the Community
Chest"
Whether or not Mr.. Dumont can
pay his bill depends on how sue
cessful he is in finding work. The
fact that he is not a citizen is
against him. There is little chance
that he can. get a job which he is
trained to do, and he has found that
people don't seem to like the idea
Of hiring lawyer TO do unskilled

Deal Expected
Soon on Tract
For Parkway
Parks Office Seeks
IN Acres on Virginia
Shore of Potomac
By Nelson M. Shepard

The National Capital Parks Once
said today it soon expects to acquire
about two and a half acres Of Poto-
mac shoreline, under an agreement
with the Braddock Power & Light
Co., for the Mount Vernon Memorial
boulevard parkway north Of Alex
andria.
Acquisition of the tract is made
possible by the Commerce DEPART
ment, which this week consented to
Withdraw its year-old objections to
the transaction, whereby the power
company will get certain privileges
in exchange for the property
Stack Remains an Issue.
Left for final determination among
the Commerce Department Civil
Aeronautics Administration, the
power plant and the city OF Alex
andria, however, is the controversial
question of how high the power
company may build smokestacks.
The CAA has informed Alexandria
officials that unless they allow the
stacks to be lowered to 162 feet from
the proposed 100 feet, it might be
necessary to condemn air rights
over Alexandria.
Park Supt. Irving c. Root said
this controversy is not involved IN
the matter of a permit which his
office hopes to be able to issue TO
the company soon in exchange for
the desired water frontage. The per-
init would give the power company
access to the river for water re-
ouired by the s21,000,000 plant now
under construction along the river
front between Alexandra and the
Washington National Airport.
Also. it was said, the company
would be granted right-of-way
across Goyernment-ow land for
an underground power line into the
Pentagon Building and nearby Vlr-
ginia developments.
Viewed as Good Deal.
The National Capital Parks con-
tend the proposed deal with the
power company would be a good
one from the Governments point
of view. The Braddock officials will
defray the cost of dredging two
channels in the river along it's
property. This hydraulic fill will
be pumped above the flood level or,
Daingerfeld Island. just north OF
the power plant. The island floods
periodically, and it is a source OF
much annoyance along the right
of way of the Mount Vernon boule-
ward.
Meanwhile. the Commerce De-
partment, according to Assistant
Secretary John r. Alison, soon
hopes to work out the smokestack
problem with Alexandria officials.
who have been insisting on 100 feet
to keep the smoke from becoming
public nuisance.

k NOME, Alaska, Oct. 8.-tR-- A veteran prospector said today that uranium-bearing minerals wert found years ago in several areas of northwestern Alaska
 His statement followed by day the announcement of another pros pector that radioactive minerals have been located just across the Bering Sea from Siberia.
 Oscar Margraf, old-time pros pector,s said finds of radioactive ores were made many years ago in the Seward Peninsula area. He added that uranium bearing min erals were located in many other areas of northwest Alaska in the quest for gold, but were left to be relocated in this later age when the value of the minerals became known.
 Louis c. Stringer, Alaska pros pector who now lives in Newark, N. J., reported Tuesday that de- posits of considerable" size were located less than 100 miles from Nome.
 Margraf said today that two Nome businessmen, Dr. Maxwell Kennedy, a dentist, and William Munz, an airplane operator, sent out samples through Stringer and received exceptional reports on the Geiger count from government lab oratories.
