While the Caps were tramplng
on the Boston Celtics, 110-79, last
night at Uline Arena, it was diff
cult to realize that the Washing
ton team on the floor was the
same one occupying last place in
the Eastern Division of the Ma
tional Basketball Association.
The Caps were not looking at
all like the league push-over, a
team that had lost Is times in %
games. Either the records are
misleading. or the Caps were play
ing miles over their heads.
A little of both, Coach Bones
Mckinney explained later. Were

not restricted to the shooting de-
partment. In whipping the East

That's It," says Mckinney.
I'VE ran for a change. This club
hasn't been running since the

According to Bones, the Caps,
who play host to Philadelphia
Saturday night, will continue to
improve.

Fatally While Sleeping

A 29-year-old Census Bureau
employe was burned fatally yes
terday in her apartment at 1928
Eighteenth street NE, after she
apparently fell asleep while smok-
ing.
The victim was Miss Elizabeth
Gilgallon. She died in Casualty

being carried from her apartment
by Pvt. Joseph I. Looney of No.
10 Engine Company.
Pvt. Looney said when he en-

room was filled with smoke and q
sofa and chair were ablaze. Miss
Gilgallon, he said. was standing
dazed in an adjoining room and
asked him, How badly am I
burned?"
The fire alarm had been turned
in by neighbors who smelled
smoke.
Two women who shared the
apartment with Miss Gilgallon
were out of town for the week end.

a setting for a concert by the re-
organized Agriculture Symphony
Orchestra under DR.. Frederick
Falls direction. This was the third
and final concert of the season.
The conductors brief talk in the
intermission stressed that the sc

make voluntary contribution tt

Officers and members of the Agri-
culture Department Symphony
Orchestra Association for thei,
work in keeping the association
together by means of a small sus-
tanning fee which makes it pos

defray incidental expenses.
The program was bright and
built around operatic arias sung
by Nine. Tycha Turlitaki Symeo-
nidis. Greek soprano. The artist
won her reputation in the opera
house of Vienna where she sang
leading roles. In the beginning OF
this season Nine. Symeonidis
made her debut here in the Mexi-
can Embassy in a short program
OF songs. Her first contribution to
last nights concert was "Divinites
du Styx" from Glucks "Alceste, ~
which rounded out a set of ex-
cerpts from different Gluck works
arranged by Mottl for orchestra in
a form of a suite. These numbers
and others, such as "Elsa's Pro-
cession to the Cathedral" from
Wagner's "Lohengrin," and a suite
from Bizet's Carmen" may have
been intended to place an accent
on groups of instruments or solo,
lists within the orchestra. Thus
the woodwind and brass gave an
utmost display of their potentiali-

flute, harp. oboe, bassoon and
others.
Floral tributes made their way

nldls' singing of "Dich, Teure

bringing her back several times
after this aria, and "Ritorna Vim

Why all this turmoil in the
South? The late Samuel Chiles
Mitchell, professor of history at
the University of Richmond, put
it this way,
'The. 10th century had three
dominant ideas: Liberty, industry
and democracy. The ante-bellum
South early in that century set
its face against all three.
Not liberty; slavery! Not in
dustry; plantation agriculture! /!
Not democracy; a contrived sys-

schools, grey shacks, eroded lane
and unkempt farms.
This goes hand in hand with ar
ever rising level of income for al
the South's people and a conse.
quent pressure for improvement.
Into the region with its vast
mineral. human and agricultural
resources have poured millions o1
industrial dollars for new plant,
and payrolls.
AS a matter Of self-preserva.
ton, the region has set out with
conscious vigor to remake its
agricultural establishment upor
diversified lines.
The net result of all these pres
sures, internal and external, has
been for a changing South; 9
progressing South if you like.
One Of the great tragedies OF
this changing South has been
the division of its people, some
times unconsciously, over the role
the Negro is to have in the new
South.
There is division between white
and Negro. between white and
white. and between Negro and
Negro.
One of the great sorrows of the
South, said sociologist DR.. Preston
Valien Of Fisk University at Nash
vile, has been the lack of under
standing between whites and Ne
groes..
DR.. Valien, in an interview
pointed out that by and large the
white Southerner has no contact
with the Negro save on a work
relation. thus the white simply is
in no position to know of the Ne
gro's intimate home life, his fears
his wants, his hopes and his am
billions.
The reverse is equally true, DR.
Valien continued. and without
this knowledge there is intoler-
ance.

Ernest Neal, director of the Rural
Life Conference, remarked that
''it is very difficult to get the prob

"The intellectual Negro" Mr.
Neal said, "has passed every test

problem no longer is a house

citizenship is about all he is in

But for the mass of Negroes
the problem still is enough food
a place to live and clothing.
"The advantaged Negro is more
conscious of segregation than the
mass. To the mass it isn't a ques.
ton of whether he eats a meal ir

By the Asseeiatsd Press

| ATLANTA, June 12.-Equal ed
ucation for Negroes is q volcano
on which the South slept for half
a century.
Now the volcano has erupted
into billion-dollar problem.
One billion dollars is the best
available estimate of the total
difference between educational IA
cilities for whites and Negroes In
II Southern and border States to-
day-from kindergarten through
college.
The figure raises a cloud for the
South in the wake of Supreme
Court decisions this week.
The high court ruled unani-
mously and emphatically. in
Texas and Oklahoma cases, that
States must provide education for
Negroes equal in every way to
that for white persons.
If separate Negro facilities are
not truly equal, said the court,
then Negroes must be admitted to
white institutions.
Actually, of course, that's no new
idea. Southern States themselves
enacted laws demanding equality
back in Reconstruction days.
The problem is that little was
done about it for so long.
Caught in the Trap"
What can the South do?
Senator Johnston, Democrat, of
South Carolina. said this week,
"It's obvious that South Carolina
cannot afford to provide separate
and equal school facilities for both
races"
Said Editor Ralph McGill in
The Atlanta Constitution: 1--WE
should have known that we could
not solemnly pass laws and then
cynically and cruelty ignore them
and get away with it forever. Ger
tainly there were vast discrimina-
tions. There still are. We are
caught in the trap of our own
laws"
Increasing the headaches, the
South's white schools are superior
to Negro schools, but below the
average for the Nation: the South
is the region least able to pay for
either.
Interviews with educators and
other objective leaders indicated
some of the answers that will de-
velop:
First, some racial barriers will
fall in college graduate education.
More and more States will admit
Negroes to white medical schools,
and such.
Cost Is Prohibitive.
The cost Of providing duplicate
graduate facilities for Negroes in
each field in each state is all but
prohibitive. And even If the money
Is raised, personnel simply ism I
available to staff Negro schools In
such fields.
Second, there will be little If
any quick breakdown of segrega-
tion at the undergraduate college
level and absolutely none in
public grade schools in the South.
DR.. George Mitchell, executive
director of the Southern Regional
Council, an inter-racial group
promoting equality, saw two dan
gers if the South fights for segre-
cation by raising huge sums to
provide complete. separate college
facilities for Negroes:
