The Board of Education yesterday
announced its approval of a plan
to provide new quarters for students
of the Bell Vocational School by

to C. Melvin Sharpe, chairman of
the School Boards Committee on

The Bell School has been situated
in an old building at Seventh and o

condemned. Mr.. Shapes commit
tee long has considered it made
quate for the present enrolment of
the school, he said.
When the plan was made public

By the Associated Press


Representative Holif1eld, Demo-
crat, of California, said yesterday
that members of the House I'm
American Activities Committee
should cease making statements
about the loyalty Of DR.. Edward U
Condor or apologize for past COM
mittee charges against him.
DR.. Condor, head of the National
Bureau. of Standards, has been
cleared by the Atomic Energy Com
mission "of all charges made against
him by the Un-American Activities
Committee" Mr.. Holifield said IN q
speech in the House. r..
Now" he added, committee
members either should stop making
statements against him, or publicly
apologize for publicly assassinatine
his character with charges about his
loyalty"
A special subcommittee headed
by Chairman Thomas Of the full
committee issued a report last May
calling DR.. Condor "one of the
weakest links" in the Nations

the Atomic Energy Commission gave
DR.. Condor a clean bill of health.

has asked for a public hearing on
them. The committee has said pub
lie hearings will be held, but has not

Mother, 20, Denied Custody
OF IIIeqifimafe Child, s

Justice Alexander Holtzof yester-
day denied a 20-year old mother
the custody of her 6-year-old IL
Legitimate daughter.
In a ruling which he said was in
the interest of the child, Justice
Heltzof left the little girl in the
custody of her aunt. The aunt has
reared the child as her own since
she was five years old.
In seeking custody of the child.
the mother, who lives in Alexandria,
said that she was IA years old when
the child was born, and that she
left the girl with a half-sister until
such time as she could care for her.
The mother was married two
years ago to a mechanic. She said
her husband, who is not the father
of the child, wants to provide a
home for the girl.
In making his decision, Justice
Holtzoff said that anguish would
result no matter how he ruled. Say
ing he did not want to see the child
hurt, the justice pointed out that
the child believes the aunt is her
mother.

House Hears Demand
For Police Merger 10
Curb Violent Crimes

Warning Congress that rape and
murder" here must stop, Representa-
tive Grant, Democrat, of Alabama,
has demanded merger of the Metro
politan and Park Police forces to
protect women and girls.
He sounded his call for action
on the House floor yesterday, as he
introduced bill to consolidate the
two police forces under the direction
OF the superintendent of the Metro
politan Police.
Referring in his House speech to
the recent Rock Greek murder of
11-year-old Carol Bardwell who was
"brutally attacked" Mr.. Grant
charged that this once fair Capital
City of the Nation has become the
haven of sexual perverts and crimi-
nails"
Says Number Increasing.
"They are eonverging upon Wash
ington in ever increasing numbers, "
he declared. If there is one place
in the Nation where a little child
can walk alone, it should be here
in the District of Columbia.
1T is dangerous for one to walk
alone here at any hour of the day
or night. These criminals have
become so bold that they no longer
wait for the cover of darkness to
commit their atrocious crimes, but
carry them out in the broad open
daylight"
Conditions now existing here, the
Alabaman declared, ARE a shame
and disgrace to a civilized commu-
nifty. This Congress must demand
that this conrition be cleaned up
and that it be done now
Blames Divided Authority.
Mr.. Grant emphasized that. he
was not censoring or condemning
either of the two police forces.
They have worked hard, under
great handicaps,' he said, but there
Is divided authority. They have
done well under great odds. Both
the Park police and Metropolitan
police are undermined. All of
these men should be given good
salaries and shorter hours. Law
reinforcement should be under one
command"
Several attempts have been made
to consolidate these two police
forces in Washington, but legisla-
ton has never been approved to
accomplish the purpose. One bill
was vetoed by the President. A
similar measure still is pending in
the House District Committee, to
which the Grant bill was referred.
Strong opposition to such a merger
always has come from the Interior
Department, the National Park
Service and the Office Of National
Capital Parks.

MIR. Sharpe said the move finally
was approved by his committee yes

six members Of the School Board
who were in town. The. vote In
favor was unanimous, the an

Members of the board will go
before Commissioner John Russell
Young today to get his approval of
the plan. The next move would be
for Congress to transfer a $58, 300
appropriation so the Powell School
can be remodeled as a vocational
school. The sum was allocated to
Central, when it was believed the
Bell School would be moved there.

proposals made to the group thus
far.
Here are the two plans receiving
the most attention thus far:
/. Reduce the present Is days
annual and Is days sick leave to
combined total of 81 days without
regard to illness. In other words,
all Federal workers would be en-
titled to 81 days OF year, no mat
ter for what purpose they wanted to
use 1t.
2. Grant vacation and sick leave
benefits according to length of serv-
ice. as is generally done in private
industry. Employees with 5 to 10
years or more of service would get
the benefits they now receive. New
comers, or those with one or two
years of service, would get 10 or Is
days vacation a year. until they
achieve enough seniority to entitle
them to longer vacations. At pres
ent, everybody in the Govrnment
gets the same vacation and sick
leave benefits, regardless of senior
ity.
