Hearing Called
On. Segregation
.AtP|aygrounds
School Boord to Seek
Definition Of Policy
At Meeting Thursday

The long awaited public hearing
for groups that have protested the
segregation policy for Fairgrounds
followed by the Recreation Board
has been set for 2 pm. next Thurs.
day by the Board of Education.
The public hearing was called by
Albert E. Steinem, new school board
member, in his capacity as chair
man of the Committee on Com
munity Use of Buildings and
Grounds. Members of the Recrea-
ton Board have been invited to at.
tend.
The question involved Is this:
Each summer and fail. the School
Board votes to allow the Recrea-
ton Department the use of certain
schools and Fairgrounds for its
recreation program. The Recrea-
ton Department, in using these
grounds, follows a policy of segre-
cation. The colored members Of
the School Board would like to see
this policy changed.
Routine Request Made.
Last Wednesday when the rou-
tine request came up at the Board
of Education meeting, George E. C.
Hayes and Mrs. James w. Williams,
colored board members, asked that
action be postponed until the public
hearing could be held. This was
! done.
The question is not new.
| Last September, Mr. Hayes made
the same request. In order not to
shut off use of the Fairgrounds. the
board voted the necessary permission
to the Recreation Department-but
told its committee on community
use of buildings and grounds to ar
range for a hearing on the matter,
possibly to see just what the policy
of the School Board should be on
the question.
The matter has been pending since
then. Mr.. Steinem took over as
chairman of the committee two
weeks ago when he was named to
the board. The prior committee
head was c. Melvin Sharpe.
Wants Policy Defined.
Mr.. Hayes said he wanted the
Recreation Boards policy definitely
defined. He referred to letters be-
tween Milo F.. Christensen and the
Rev. Stephen G. Spottswood of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, in
which Mr.. christensen outlined the
segregated policy of the Recreation
Department.
knowing what I believe to be
the policy of the Recreation Board.
I will not vote permission for 1t to
use the school Fairgrounds until
after the meeting is held" Mr..
Hayes said at the board meeting.
Mrs. Williams backed him up.
| Dozens of letters concerning the
use of school buildings and play
grounds-and on the segregation
practices-have been received by
the Board of Education since the
question first came up. 1t is ex-
pected that many of the groups
sending the letters will appear at
the hearing
Included are the NAACP. the
Washington Industrial Union Coun-
Gil (CIO), the Washington League
of Women Shoppers, the Unitarian
Fellowship for Social Justice and
the Inter racial Workshop.

Robinson Resigns Job
That Made Him TARGET
In Loyalty Controversy

Hamilton Robinson, who has been
under congressional fire in recent
months for his part in the State
Departments loyalty program, has
resigned as director of the depart
ment'S Office of controls.
The resignation was effective
last night. Mr.. Robinson. who lives
at 2112 lie Roy place NV. is ex-
pected to enter law practice here.
Mr.. Robinson was director of the
Office which frames security regu-
lations for the Government depart
ments and also hears appeals Of
persons dropped as poor security
risks.
Associates said his resignation,
first submitted last November, was
entirely voluntary. He has been
in the department some 18 months.
In March, a subcommittee of the
House Committee on Expenditures
in the Executive Departments, held
a brief hearing on Mr.. Robinson's
qualifications for his post after
Representative Busbey, Republican,
Of Illinois, charged the official was
not fitted for the place. He asserted
that Mr.. Robinson has second
cousin who was under investigation
for alleged Communist activities
and who resigned from the State
Department in 1946 a....
Mr.. Robinson was vigorously de-
Tended by Assistant Secretary of
State Peurifoy. Secretary Marshall
also voiced criticism at news con-
ference of attacks on departmental
personnel, but did not mention the
Robinson case.
Mr.. Robinson also was criticised
for his action in connection with
the cases of 10 State Department
employees dismissed as bad security
risks. He was on the review board
which looked over their cases.
He also was chairman of the group
which drafted the controversial pro-
posal for imposing minimum security
regulations on information coming
from executive departments. That
plan was shelved. Opponents char
acterized it as peacetime censorship.

Agency Denies
lis Relief Clients
Use 1axicabs
Welfare OfficioI Tells
Senators He Hos Not
Observed Practice

Welfare Department officials took
issue today with the implication put
before the Senate District Appro-
priations Subcommittee yesterday
that some public assistance recipi-
ents can afford to travel in taxicabs
to pick up their relief checks.
Kimball Sanborn of the subcom-
mittee staff said yesterday during a
hearing on District appropriations
that last February he had observed
distribution of 10 relief checks at
462 Indiana avenue NV. and that
four of every 10 persons who called
for them arrived in cabs.
Acting Welfare Director Raymond
F. Clapp said Mr.. Sanborn's state
ment "does not agree with our
observation"
He suggested Mr.. Sanborn may
have assumed that people entering
the building for other purposes were
going in for relief checks when
actually they were en- route to other
Offices located there.
Most Checks Are Mailed.
Edgar Morris, chairman of the
Board of Public Welfare, said if
such abuses as Mr.. Sanborn men
toned do exist, the board will act
to stop them.
But" he said, whoever makes
such. accusations should acquaint
the board with the people who are
abusing these privileges-should
l.. iy, or,1
Mr.. Clapp said most relief checks
are mailed and that it was the ex-
ception rather than the rule for
clients to call for them. He added
that public assistance grants GER
tainly do not allow for taxi money.
We're giving assistance to 5000
cases, involving 10000 persons
month" he declared. I'm any op-
Grafton of that size there will be a
percentage of instances in which we
later find there has been either
misunderstanding, misrepresenta-
ton or lack of complete informa-
ton" He estimated the ratio OF
cases in which grants are paid er-
roneously as being about l per cent.
Undertaking Claimed.
"That is as small as is humanity
possible in any large adminlstra-
ton" he said, Especially, as was
testified yesterday, since we are now
carrying 5000 cases with the same
staff allowed two or three years
ago for 1000"
The welfare official pointed out
that one agency located in the build
ing in February was the Hospital
Permit Bureau. which since has
moved, and that persons in need
of hospital care understandably
might have to take taxicabs on their
visits to the bureau.
Donald Gray, director OF public
assistance, said that of the relief
clients who call for their checks,
"there probably aren't more than 10
IN month"
Since applicants for assistance
now must wait two weeks for an
interview because the office is under
stated, he said. their acute need
for money sometimes compels them
to save a day by calling for their
grants. Others who pick up their
checks in person may include evic-
ton cases and needy discharges
from tuberculosis sanitariums.
Authorization for distribution Of
checks at the Office also are made
in some cases of emergency when
the continuing investigation" /" of
relief recipients has not been salts
factorily completed in time for the
funds to go out in the regular mail
ings. he added. ADMINISTRATIONS
are made everv six months. at least.
