InterraciaI Progress
Claimed at Farley
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 1.-THE
National Urban League leadership
largely conceived and developed
programs that are accelerating the
rate of interracial progress in
America, delegates to the leagues
annual conference here were told
last night.
The speaker, Harold Lett, chief
assistant of the division against dis
elimination of the New Jersey De-
partment of Education, addressed
the closing session of the leagues
five-day meeting at Virginia Union
University.
Urban League salesmanship and
experimentation" Mr.. Lett said,
"have produced such body of
factual data that no employer or
labor leader today can say that
whites and negroes cannot work
together harmoniously and eff
ciently ="
Who is there bold enough to say
that significant things aren't hap
pening?" Mr.. Lett declared. Within
three years the United States Su-
preme Court, the formerly conserva-
tive champion of that-which-has-
been, has by its decisions disturbed
cherished traditions of Jim Grow
travel, lily-white education, the I'M
democratic institution of the white
primary, and the evil pact known
as the restrictive covenant"
Three hundred Urban League
personnel in conference here re-
quested that the league place
greater emphasis on its industrial
relations program, on apprentice
ship training service, and on-the- job
training and counseling and testing.
The group also urged that voca-
tional counselors council be formed
within the movement.

Irwin Laber, 80, who Is visiting
here from New York, would change
two things about Washington. He
would like apartment doors that

legs protruded from beneath his
bathrobe. No one was in sight 50

average about $4,000 year, where

providing for such payments, his
bill was only IS a year. Henceforth,
the bills will be sent out monthly in

Opposing Plans
On Intersection
Under Study
Several ldeus Offered
On BottIeneck at
John Marshall Place

The District Commissioners and
the Public Utilities Commission to.
day had under adyisement conflict.
ing plans from city officials. citizens
and the Capital Transit Co. for
elimination of the traffic bottleneck
at the intersection Of Constitution
and Pennsylvania avenues, Fourth
street and John Marshall place NV.
Practically every witness had a
different suggestion to offer at the
public hearing yesterday, where the
city heads and the PUG met as
Joint board to consider the problem.
Highway Director J. N. Robertson
had two plans to offer. He favored
a $4,000 program for tearing out
streetcar tracks and repaving over
a $4,500, 900 plan for putting in an
underpass at the bus intersection.
Merrill Offers Plans.
Capital Transit President E. D.
Merrill contended the volume of
traffic there calls for no such large
expenditure. He asked that the
Commissioners make it. principle
that all track removals-caused by
Increased automobile traffic volumes
be paid for out of public funds,
rather than by the transit company.
He offered two complex alternate
plans for revising Streetcar routes In
the area in the event tracks are
taken out between Sixth street and
the Peace Monument, as called for
by the District plan.
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, chair
man Of the ParhRnd Planning Com
missipn, said he favors setup con-
tinuing through traffic on Constitu-
ton avenue, rather than along
Pennsylvania. to connect with the
projected Washington Baltimore
highway.
Lansburgh Opposes Loop.
Mark w. Lansburgh, owner Of the
downtown department store, opposed
Capital Transit's plan for terminal
loop on Eighth street between D and
E streets NV. on the ground that
1t would injure businesses in that
vicinity.
Wallace Braun, acting director OF
Vehicles and Traffic, testified he
preferred another Capital Transit
plan that would set up double tracks
on Sixth street and Indiana avenue
NV. connecting Pennsylvania ave-
nue. tracks with Route 40 tracks at
Fifth and D streets NV.
