Klein Calls on Young
To Instruct Play Board
On Segregation Vote

Representative Klein, Democrat
of New York. today revealed he
has asked Commissioner John
Russell Young to instruct five
Recreation Board members to
vote at the June meeting for abol-
ishing segregation.
In q letter dated May II. Mr.
Klein told Mr.. Young he had as
much right to instruct the four
board members appointed by the
Commissioner for four-year terms
as he had Walter Fowler. the
Commissioners own board repre-
sentative.
This Is because each Of these
four members is as much subject
to the ultimate power Of your
board as is Mr.. Fowler by virtue of
your boards power to remove any
or all Of them at any time and
without assigning any reason for
the removal" Mr.. Klein wrote.
SlLcS TTeCGuSHk9.
Citing Supreme Court prece-
dents for removing appointees
from office, Mr.. Klein said "the
fact the statute does not prescribe
how these four appointed mem
bers may be removed is not i'm
portant.
The question Of continuing or
abolishing the present segregation
policy is scheduled for q vote at
the June IA meeting Of the severn
man Recreation Board.
Mr.. Klein also wrote President
Truman, expressing the opinion
that the five Recreation Board
members appointed or desig-
mated" by the Commissioners
should be guided by your .ex-
preston to the District Commis-
sions" and again asserting that
these five men can be removed
at any time"
Mr.. Truman recently conferred
with Mr.. Young and others on the
segregation situation in the Dis
trict.
The Recreation Board has con-
tended that the 77th Congress
Public Law 534, setting ups the
board on April 20. 1942. provides
for autonomous power for the
board and makes its members re-
sponsible to the wishes Of the
people as a whole instead Of the
organizations they represent.
Defending that theory today,
Milo F. Christensen, Recreation
Department superintendent. cited
three sections Of Public Law 534,
One of them, Article 2, section l..
reads:
The board shall determine all
questions of general policy relat-
ing to public recreation in and for
the District of Columbia"
The other points cited by Mr..
Christensen were these: :.
Article /, section 1.-The ap-
pointment Of four citizen mem
bers shall be without regard to
race, sex or creed and shall take
judicious account Of the various
parent. civic and other organiza-
tions through which residents OF
the District place their civic wishes
in and advance the common vel

God speaks through us through
many ways,
Through favors great and small
He speaks through the invisible
wind that blows.
And the trees that stand so tall
He speaks through the painters
that paint His beautiful
earth,
Through the musicians that sins
his praises sweet
He speaks through the writers
that write of His words,
And through the different kinds
of people we meet.
All Of us cannot achieve success.
But We can surely be kind tc
our neighbors,
We can help those persons who're
less fortunate than we.
And offer to do some one favors
Say something cheerful to thost
who seem sad,
Help those who are In distress
Then God Our Father will smile

For he knows that you've dons

between Sonny Boy West, District
lightweight. and Talmadye Bussey
Of Detroit as the feature.
Bussey hasn't shown his wares
in Washington before, but his

KO fighter. About half his bouts
have been won by kayoes. Most
OF his battling has been done
around Detroit. Chicago and other
mid-Western points. He's man
aged by Eddie Higgins and has a
brother. Ted Bussey, who is COM
ing along well in welterweight
ranks.
Tomorrow nights affair gives
West chance to make up for the
defeat he suffered in hts last fight
here against the classy Doug Rat
ford. In fact, West needs to take
this one to set himself up In good
style for the summer outdoor
campaign. He is doing very well
for a youngster with only four
defeats in 80 fights.
Regarding that Ratford fight,
Sonny's manager. Mel Stevenson.
says it was a good one for his boy.
Sonny Boy woke up after that
fight and now realizes what was
wrong. We're all fixed up and
will take Bussey In good style.
After that, we want return shot
at Ratford."
