Arlington School Trial
Recessed 10 Oct. Is
After Early Testifies

A Federal Court decision on the
question of whether Arlington
County discriminates against Ne
groes in public schools has beer
deferred at least until next month
Judge Albert v. Bryan late yes
terday recessed the hearing In
Federal Court in Alexandria until
October 18. The delay is neces-
sary because of conflicting CON-
mitments by Judge Bryan and
other principals in the case.
The recess followed testimony
by Division School Supt. William
A. Early to the effect that, if any
educational discrimination exists
in Arlington, it is against white
pupils rather than Negroes.
Colored School Not Crowded.
Mr.. Early insisted, both on di-
rect examination and cross-exam
ination, that substantially equal
educational opportunities are af-
forded colored and white students
with respect to courses of study
and physical facilities. He de-
clared pupils at the colored Hoff-
man-Boston High School enjoy
distinct advantages over pupils at
the white Washington-Lee High
School because the latter is badly
oyercroWded and the colored
school is not.
He said also colored pupils are
taught only in modern, well
equipped, sanitary buildings, while
some white pupils attend anti
quated," inadequately equipped
schools. He said Hoffman-Boston
students are safer from traffic
dangers.
Glass Subjects Cited.
Supt. Early's testimony was a
highlight of Arlington's defense
of charges brought in the name of
Constance Carter, II, a colored
pupil at Hofman-Boston who
formerly attended Dunbar School
in the District. The suit, filed by
her mother, Mrs. Eleanor Taylor,
is being pressed with the backing
of the Arlington Branch, National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People and the Vir-
ginia State Conference lawyers.
The plaintiff contends school
opportunities are unequal and at
tributes this to a policy of racial
discrimination. Leon A. Ransome

attorneys from Richmond have
