any way require the Recreation
Board to follow any pattern of
racial segregation? If so, on what
authority?"
Gen. Grants answer to this
letter was dated January 81. 1t
was a summation of the points
made in his previous letter and
again stated that the planning
commission had not assumed au-
thority to establish or to elimi-
nate racial segregation
It also included these state
ments:
THE Recreation Act of 1912
did impose upon the Re-
creation Board an obligation to
operate according to this plan"
"' the commission planned
a dual system of Fairgrounds to
accord with the dual system Of
Fairgrounds already established
by law at that time and with
the dual system of schools also
previously established by law"
This letter brought forth the
last communication from Mr..
Klein to Gen. Grant, In which
Mr.. Klein made his demands.
Statements Held Contradictory.
Mr.. Klein's letter contained
these statements:
How can you possibly say. in
the same breath. that your COM
mission has not assumed authority
to establish or to eliminate racial
segregation In any particular and
that your commission neverthe-
less planned a dual system of
Fairgrounds? The statements are
obviously fatty contradictory to
each other"
while acknowledging that your
commission has neither the power
or authority to do so, you admit
you have adopted a system of
racial designation as to the use
of certain facilities : ="
Since you admit responsibility
for having incorporated these
racial designations into your plan,
I call upon you and your commits
sion to remove them Immediately"
I'm your October 10 letter you
say the Recreation Board has ex-
elusive authority to operate the
public recreation system in the
District but in your letter of
January 81 you say that the Rec
reation Board is under an obliga-
ton to operate according to this
plan which your commission has
established and Is now maintain
ing. These statements cannot be
reconciled in any way"
Although I am convinced that
the Recreation Board is under no
obligation to follow the racial
designations created by your

Assails Evil Theory.
Mr.. Klein said:
II intend to do everything
within my power to have this
evil theory of racial designation
by your commission eliminated as
the justification for the racially
discriminatory practices now fol-
lowed by the District Recreation
Board"
He said he had come to the
conclusion that the commission
and the Recreation Board are
deliberately engaged in joint
effort, by mumbo- Jumbo talk. de-
signed to saddle the blame on
Congress to maintain racial dis
elimination on many of the play
grounds in the Nations Capital" ;"
He demanded that Gen. Grant
immediately revise the so-called
recreation plan" for the District
by removing all racial. designa-
tions.
Gen. Grant told The Star he
intended to do nothing about Mr..
Klein's demands until Congress
acts since he believes it Is not a
matter for the commission to
settle.
Not Taking Any Stand.
1.-THE commission is not taking
any stand on segregation" he
stated. The commission merely
made the plan in accordance with
the situation as it exists and will
change If Congress changes the
situation as 1t is today"
Gen. Grant said he had received
Mr.. Klein's last letter-with the
demands-on Friday.
The correspondence between
Gen. Grant and Mr.. Klein dates
back to October. That month,
Mr.. Klein wrote Gen. Grant:
"It has come to my attention
that the District Recreation
Board takes the position that seq
regation is required on its recre-
alton facilities under terms Of a
District recreation system plan
promulgated by the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commis-
sion. This is the first intimation
I have had that the commission
assumes the authority or attempts
to enforce segregation in the Ma
tion's Capital. I should like to
know from you. personally, wheth-
er it is correct"
con numerous occasions, Dis
trict Recreation Board members
have pointed to the comprehensive
plan of the planning commission
as reason why the Recreation
Board must maintain a strictly
segregated playground system)
Ofdutk huSWCTS ACStCIs
Gen. Grants answer. dated
October 10. said the planning COM
mission "has not in any way as
summed authority to establish
any policy whatsoever in relation
to segregation" but has been
guided solely by the policies estab-
lished by law.
The Recreation Board has sex
elusive authority to operate the
public recreation system" the let
ter said.
Gen. Grants letter said the dual
system of schools and public
recreation els not the result of
recent attempts to bring about or
enforce segregation but has existed
by the authority Of Congress for
IS years" During the Civil War,
he said, Congress passed several
acts to provide separate schools
for colored children Of the District.
These acts were consolidated
into an act passed by Congress In
June, 1864. and approved by Presi-
dent Lincoln. This act was very

specific in setting up such a dual
school system =" he added.
The dual school system estab-
lished by this act has been per-
petuated by subsequent acts and
appropriations by Congress from
that day to this" he declared,
adding that the dual system is
recognized annually in the appro-
priation of funds by Congress"
Created in 1911.
Gen. Grant said the public
recreation system is closely con-
nected with the schools. After
early development of a few play
grounds under private auspices,
Congress in 1911 created through
an appropriation act the public
playground department under the
District Commissioners.
This was a dual system from
the beginning" he stated.
In 1917. the Board of Education
was authorized to conduct COM
munity centers in the public
schools in out-of- school hours,
he continued. This also was a
dual system. based on the dual
school system.
In 1912. the present Recreation
Board was created and took over
these two dual systems and con-
tinued to operate them as in the
past. .- ....--.-
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission came into
the picture In 1924 when II was
established to providH f.
velopment of a park system in
Washington and it's envl ons a.-.
was charged with acquiring land
for this purpose, ,-
Gen. Grant said that in 1880,
the commission instituted special
committee of various District Of
ficials to study the playground
situation and draw up a compre-
hensive plan.
Plan Adopted as Guide.
This committee drew up the
comprehensive plan." which
designated white and colored rec
reation areas, and it was adopted
by the planning commission as
"its guide in land acquisitions"
he continued.
When the Recreation Board
was created, the act said it should
utilize properties including those
designated by the planning COM
mission 'in accordance with a
comprehensive plan," Gen. Grant
stated. The Recreation Board
took over the planning commits
sion's plan with the dual sys-
tenn.
Gen. Grant pointed out that the
plan was before the appropriations
committees each year for appro-
priations in accordance with it
and the "fact the appropriations
were made certainly established
that 1t was in accord with the
policy OF Congress"
In response to Gen. Grants
letter, Mr.. Klein wrote on Novem-
ber % that he was dissatisfied
with the answers. He declared
that the act creating the planning
commission set up the commission
as a ''land planning agency only"
and that it had no authority to
adopt a plan which. in effect.
created a policy of racial segrega-
ton on the Fairgrounds.
Asks Two Questions.
He asked specifically again If
Gen. Grant would answer these
two questions:
/. do you consider that your
commission has the authority to
make any racial designations in
connection with the use Of recrea-
tional areas in the District and
thus to partake in the response
bility for the maintenance of
racial segregation in these areas?
