Mother, Children
Live In Park

BIRMINGHAM, Eng (F) For
almost seven months 41-year-old
Mrs. Mary Smith and her three
lived like rabbits In Bir-
mingham parks. They slept under
bushes and in tool sheds, tided
themselves in the wash rooms, ate
when something came their way.
A magistrate could hardly be-
lieye the evidence and police said
they couldn't understand how they
managed it so long without detec-
ton. Mrs. Smith, deserted by her
husband and homeless, was told
last March to place the clidren in
an institution. She couldn't bear to
part with them, and took to the
parks. Said Police Sergeant John
McCabe: stranger still, the child
rem were clean, well dressed and
we'll nOurished."
It ended as Mrs. Smith had fear
ed. Homes will be found for the
children and the mother was plac-
ed on probation for exposing the
children to unnecessary suffering.

A new set of recommendations

The recommendations were ap-

Committee members would not
comment on their action other

New Meeting Planned.
Board Chairman Harry S.
Wender said he believed the new
proposals are fair and reason
able" He said he will call meet
ing Of the full board as soon as
ne gets reply from Mr.. Krug.
At issue is the question OF
segregation in the swimming pools
now controlled by the Interior De-
partment. For weeks, Recreation
Board members have been wres-
ting with the problem of chang
ing the boards bylaws to permit
transfer of the pools to the board S
control.
Although Mr.. Wender has taken
the position that If the board
operates the six pools, 1t will be on
a segregated basis. he has said he
favors a proposed bylaw under
which the board would agree to
make every effort toward removal
of racial segregation in public
recreation at a rate consistent with
the public interest. The board
would issue orders to the super
intendent to implement this policy
Report Considered.
This is the proposal which was
referred back to the Bylaw Com
mittee by the full board Tuesday
At the committee meeting, the
members also had ,,pder nm
sideration their first report to the

bylaws and a press release from

lege to the Central building
Senior high school students would
be retained at Central. Then a
portion of Cardozo. a Negro high

the temporary or permanent
transfer of Cardozo to Central.

Central alumni.

school officials and school board
members are considering "all an
giles" of the situation. He said
