WASHINGTON, - Presidents
OF the two Washington Catholic
women's colleges have challeng-
ed a recent report which declared
that white" colleges in the ma
tional capital. with the single ex-,

Negro applicants.
In letter to DR.. George Shus-
ter, chairman of the nationwide
committee which sponsored the
report, Sister Mary Frederick OF
Dunbarton College of the Holy
Cross wrote:
For the past two years at
least we have been leaders in
accepting students Of all races.
AS a matter of fact, we should
have received them before that
if, in the short history of the
college. we had ever before had
an application"
Sister Catherine Dorothea Of
Trinity College. in public state
ment, declared that her institu-
ton Excludes no race or creed.
She said that there are coiored
students currently enrolled at
Trinity.
Dunbarton and Trinity were not
mentioned in any way in the re-
port, which was issued by the
National Committee on -Segrega
ton in Washington in mid-Decem-
Der. The report referred scepific-
ally only to George Washington,

Ollie universities.
However, 1t contained this gen
eral statement: "The only white
college that does not discriminate
against Negroes in the capital Is
