Fifth Playground
Site for Negroes
Planning Body Asked
To Try Again After
Fourth Is Protested

The Arlington County Planning
Commission yesterday was in
structed to make a fifth attempt
at selecting a playground site for
Negro children living in the Halls
Hill area.
The fourth site suggested by the
planning commission yesterday was
protested in petition signed by
about 200 white residents living near
the proposed celored playground.
Dale Henry, who presented the
petition, declared that the $4,000
purchase price of the site was too
high and that 1t is located "too
close to white-populated Wood
lawn"
The site recommended by the
planning commission yesterday con-
sists of three and a half acres be-
tween North Dinwiddie, North
Cameron and North Eighteenth
streets. There are eight small homes
on the proposed site. The Halls
Hill playground is one of eight
county Fairgrounds provided for in
a s150,000 recreation bond issue.
Grant Clark, a colored resident
of the Halls Hills area, asked the
beard members to determine
whether all petitioners opposing the
proposed site lived near it. He said
children in that area needed a play
ground.
Other Sites Rejected.
Three other sites already have
been rejected. including one site to
which colored residents were
opposed.
The site opposed by colored resi-
dents was the second one recon-
mended by the planning commits
sion. 1t called for extension of an
existing playground at the Langston
Colored Elementary School. DR.. F.
T. Morton. colored physician, said
colored residents living in the four
homes on this proposed site objected
because they could find no COM
parable homes in the area.
IF those homes were taken away
from them," DR.. Morton said, they
would have no place to CO."
Board Member Basil De Lashmutt
said he probably will be opposed to
any playground site except extern
sion of the Langston School play
ground"
Other sites that have been sug-
gested by the planners and rejected
by the board were near the inter-
section of North Edison street and
Nineteenth street, and a site known
as he4Schulte property just west of
Frederick street.
Returned to Commission.
On motion Of Mrs. Florence Can
non, the board referred the problem
of selecting a site back to the PLAN
ming Cofnmission with a recommen-
dation that both white and colored
leaders be consulted before arriving
at a decision. The resolution in
structed the planners to make their
final recommendation to the board
January 20.
The board agreed by unanimous
consent to ask the Government to
close the trailer camp it operates
for colored residents On Glebe road
in Green Valley, which was estab-
lished to accommodate families
whose homes were torn down to
make way for the Pentagon Build
ing. The action was requested by
spokesmen for the Arlington Inter-
racial Commission. led by Walter
K. Handy. Mr.. Handy reported there
had been five murders in the 30
trailer project since it opened, and
that two of them have occurred in
the past year
The Rev. Thomas o. Diggs, COL
ored pastor. said that most of the
families whose homes were torn
down have found other permanent
homes.
