| The agency released a study OF
1945-1946 enrollments in the II
States and the District, where
segregation of white and colored
pupils is practiced.
It said the average expense for
each white pupil in daily attend
ance was s1o4.66 a year and for
each colored pupil, $57.57. during
1945-1946.
The District spent far above the
average for both white and colored
schools, the report said. During
the period covered, $l90.36 was
spent on each white pupil and
S140.42 on each colored pupil.
Maryland spent $130.40 per

Hawaii Legislation
To End Dock Strike
Expected Tomorrow
By the Associotsd Press

HONOLULU. July 29.-Legisla-
ton to end Hawaii's 90-day dock
strike by putting the territorial
government in the stevedoring
business appears set for enact
ment tomorrow.
CIO longshoremen countered
with a call to spread the tieup to
the Pacific Coast.
A special session of the Ha-
waiian Legislature came out of a
closed session late yesterday with
Senate House agreement on what
it believes is precedent-smashing
bill: Government entrance into
strike bound industry without
seizing struck firms.
The measure would simply en-
power the territory to start its
own stevedoring business. Hiring
of any of the 1000 striking men,
bers of the International Long
shoremen' and Warehousemen's
Union would be prohibited. So
would use of the seven truck firms
employees and equipment unless
necessary"
Move to Garry Out Threat.
ILWU stevedores. who struck
May l for a 32-cent increase in
their S1.40 hourly basic wage, re-
sponded quickly with a move to
carry out their threat to extend
the tieup to the West Coast.
They approved resolution call
ing on all maritime unions-long-
shore and seafaring-to prevent
Matson Navigation Co. from sail
ing its ships from Pacific Coast
ports to Hawaii. Matson is the
biggest mainland-islands carrier.
The legislatures bill was labelled
clearly strikebreaking" by Jack
Hall, ILWU regional director. He
said the government would be
hiring ''scabs."
There was no employer comment
Immediately.
Legislators did not see eye to
eye on the bill. House Speaker
Hiram Fong and Vice Speaker
Hebden Porteus, both Republicans,
said the measure would be equally
hard on union and employers.
THE union will get no work and
the stevedore firms will get no
profits" Mr.. Porteus said.

was asserted.
The State with segregated
schools which came nearest to
the amount of money spent per
pupil by the District was Missouri
which spent $133.35 per colored
pupil and S137.68 per white pupil
West Virginia spent $111.47 per
colored pupil and only $100.63 per
white pupil.
Mississippi spent a low of $14.74
each year for each colored pupil
and $75.19 for each white pupil.
The report stated that A per
cent would have to be added to
Negro teachers salaries. 80 per
cent to all current expenses and
420 per cent to plant and equip
ment values to equalize the colored
schools, dollar for dollar. with the
white schools in the States.
In addition, the report added
about a third more than what is
now spent for white schools would
have to be added sfG all schools
in these States to bring the aver
ages for both up to the United
States average for 1945-46.
Here again, the District comes
off statistically better than II
