Urges Immediate Transfer of Central
To Use of Cardozo Pupils

Urges Immediate Transfer of Central
To Use of Cardozo Pupils
To the Editor Of The Star:
We vigorously protest the intention Of the
Board of Education to transfer 500 girls from
Cardozo High School to Park View Elemen-
tary School which has no facilities for high
school students. We believe this action does
not answer the present overcrowded condi-
ton which prevails at Cardozo.
Our people are seriously upset by this
weakened solution to an utterly impossible
situation which Is due. In no small part. to
our segregated school system. This ever
growing strain upon our purse and tempers
Is full disproof of the separate but equal
theory which we all know Is only another
form of social slavery. The Strayer Report
eloquently attested to this injustice.
r Our children are quitting school by the
score, as soon as they reach the permissible
age: thereby, raising the ugly specter OF
juvenile delinquency. We all know where
the blame will fall II such specter becomes
q reality It will fall upon the heads Of the
Negro citizenry of this fair community. We
do not desire such an event to occur.
The strongest reason submitted for not
releasing Central for the use Of Cardozo
students is one Of sentiment by the Central
Alumni Association. This position does not
comport with common sense or reason, IN
view of the fact that the present Cardozo
was the former white Business High. The
flrst Central was the old brick building at
Seventh and o streets, now occupied by
Negro pupils. Further. the present Central
Is in Negro district almost completely sur
rounded by Negro residents. And such
transfer will not deprive any white student
Of any educational advantage: because they
have $500 vacant seats in the eight white
high schools, while the Negro students are
1000 pupil stations short, due to overcrowd-
ing. Besides, we are only asking the tenn.
porary use of Central until the new Cardozo
is built. Therefore, the unreasonable attitude
taken by the board and Central alumni Is
grossly untenable. Of course. we know the
true answer is integration Of all schools: but
we cannot wait on that probability. Time
is precious, and we have no time.
We, therefore, call upon the Board OF Edu-
cation to discharge It's duty to the people OF
Washington by transferring Central for the
use of Cardozo students Immediately. We,
further solicit the goodwill and reasonable
consideration of all fair minded citizens to
ioin In our just cause.

Letters to The Star
Complains About Alleged Blunders
Affecting T-affic in the District

complains ABOUT ALcScO DtuHuCIo
Affecting T-affic in the District
TO the Editor of The Star:
Many are the citizens of the District who
recall what a protest from all walks OF life
was made when the bureaucrats decided
that the Dupont Circle underpass was to
follow Connecticut. avenue, when anyone
who even watched the underpass at Thomas
Circle could see that the logical location
for an underpass under Dupont Circle was
the line of Massachusetts, avenue.
Now comes a high public official in
statement in the press that notwithstand-
ing he approved the present location OF the
Dupont underpass it should have been on
the Massachusetts, avenue line.
alone has been $542 900. The cost to the
taxpayers has been tremendous and the end
still is not in sight.
The bureaucrats do not have to pay the
extra COST they ride back and forth In
their own or official cars, they have free
place to park and they have no regard Tor
those that have to help pay for their blum
dering. The Capital Transit will have to
ask for another raise in fare in the very
near future tospay for the huge outlay for
this fantastic idea, and the Public Utility
Commission no doubt will grant 1t.
Another blunder was the K street over

forth during the rush hours through Roslyn
Circle and over Key Bridge can see that
that circle is overloaded The sensible loca-
ton for river crossing would be between
Pennsylvania avenue and Memorial Bridge.
Still another engineering blunder was the
driving of piling for the North end OF the
new Fourteenth street bridge. After the
work was finished the abutments started to
settle from foot to l8 inches. made
trip to the District Building and upon in
quiry found that only 50-foot piling was
used. Any engineer worth his salt knows
that piling to be Of any use must rest on
secure foundation In my early engineering
experience supervised the driving Of some
1000 piles, and they were driven down till
the heads began to batter. We did not use
q toy hammer but one Weighing 1000
pounds.
The excuse for the abutment settling was
that the engineer in charge thought he was
saving the taxpayers money, when the Com
missioners had to ask for $780, 900 to pay
for that blunder.

Inauires About Which Program
OF Medical Aid Is Preferred

In your editorial Of December II, "The
Doctors Fight Back" you say: "The Star
does not see eye-to-eye with the socialized
medicine tag which the doctors have pinned
on the health program" This statement
raises the question just what the opinion OF
the editor may be. When you say health
program" do you refer to the Truman-Ew-
Ing proposal for compulsory payroll deduc-
tions for national insurance?
what about the 12-point health program

six cents per pound: to Japan. Oki-

lief mail enabled the Post Office
TO cut rates to ten cents a pound
