The Recreation Department has
decided not to issue permits fol
use Of the tennis courts in five
Federally controlled park areas

chance to take up the interior
Department. request for non
segregation on them.
This was revealed late yeSter-
day in a letter from Harry S
Wender, chairman of the board, tc
Interior Secretary Krug. The
letter was in response to Mr.
Krug's written request Thursday
that the 18 tennis courts in ques-
ton be designated open units
instead of white units ano
"colored units
Mr.. Wender told the interior
Secretary his request would be
placed before the board at its
regular March 8 meeting. Mr.
Krug also asked Mr.. Wender sub
NIT to his Office copies of all the
permits issued by the board fol
all it's activities.
Sixteen of the courts involved
are at the Anacostia, Garfield
Montrose and Rock Creek PARK
centers, now listed for whites, anc
the two for colored are at the
Francis Recreation Center.
Mr.. Krugs letter also asked tina
all permits issued by the Rec
reation Board on UNASSIGNED Fed
eral parkland be on a first come
first served basis.
Although the permits issued TO-
tennis playing now designate
certain courts for either white OF
colored use. MI. Christensen sale
no attempt is made to enforce seq
regation on the Federal-area
courts. Segregation. however. is
practiced on number of courts

siders District property.
Recreation Department officials
pointed out that there are few re-
quests for tennis permits at this
time of year. The courts open at

one can play on them now. Later
in the season, when the clay
courts are put in shape, permits

plea for More
Arlington School
FundsRefused
Board Won't Provide
$100, 900 to Finance
Improvements

For the third time in less than
IA year, the Arlington County
Board today refused to appropri-
ate additional funds for county
schools.
The board refused to take ac-
ton on request from the School
Board for deficiency appropria-
ton of 100000 to finance i'm
provement in lighting, water and
blackboard facilities which are
below standard.
The request was voted by the
School Board Tuesday night. On
February IL the County Board
refused to vote additional funds
because the educational body
had made no request"
The refusal came on a motion
OF Alfred E. Frisbie, who was full
tllllng a promise made last year.
Budget Cut in Spring.
The original vote against giving
the schools what they asked for
came last spring. At that time
the County Board cut the School
Board budget by 100000. In ad-
dltion, the County Board, for the
first time in history, placed the
annual contribution to the schools
on a fiat sum rather, than a per-
centage OF the tax revenues.
That action blocked the schools
from receiving a portion of rev.
enues collected over and above
those anticipated. In past years
the school system had shared in
the unanticipated collections.
After the County Boards action
on the budget, Mr.. Frisbie said
he would move for an additional
appropriation of $4,000 if and
when funds became available. The
County Board recently enacted
business and professional and
automobile license tax ordinances
which are expected to produce
several hundred thousand dollars
in added funds.
Motion Not Renewed.
Mr.. Frisbie, however, did not
renew his February IL motion
today.
County Board Member F. Free
land Chew declared the School
Boards request was mot a def
cheney appropriation in any sense
of the word" He did not amplify
his statement.
The School Board told the
County Board in its request that
many classrooms have only light
ing power of to 9 foot candles.
according to an electric power
company survey. although the
minimum standard is 30-foot cam
dies. The School Board asked
$500 of the 100000 for correc-
ton of the lighting deficiency.

they were more carefully made
and eaten by the entire party.
This old colonial custom has been
handed down to the present day.
My husband and I made our
