fired a dozen warning shots.
With Mr.. Bowie and Chief
Brown were 1t. Elon Turner of
the Prince Georges force, Detec-
tive Vincent Free and Corpl. Peed.
The officials expected to take ad-
ditional statements from the
Anne Arundel policemen later.
Youth Called Dangerous"
Chief Brown said he was in~
formed by Lawrence Prentiss,
chief counsellor at the school,
that the youth was about II years
old and dangerous" because he
had been placed in the school as
the result of a shooting and
might get into further trouble.
The police chief said he passed
on this information to his men
before they left to search for the
youth. Mr.. Prentiss, according to
John F. Cairns, superintendent OF
the school, was not available for
comment. Mr.. Cairns said he had
tried to get in touch with Mr..
Prentiss yesterday, but he was
away from home.
Prince Georges County officers
said the two officials from the
school were to have come to
Upper Marlboro for a conference
yesterday. but Mr.. Cairns did not
arrive because he could not find
his assistant at the time.

Fourteenth street NE. with his
mother and his stepfather, Charles
Myers, until he was committed tc
the school in October after he hao
critically wounded a 6-year-olo
colored boy, Aubrey B. Jasper oi
800 Fourteenth street NV
Mooney shot the boy through the
neck with a stolen revolver.
1t was his second commitment
to the Industrial School. He hao
been sent there once before fol
burglary.
His grief-stricken mother, Mrs
Genevieve Myers, asked:
What kind of people are they?'
referring to the police. Dom
they have kids of their own? II
the kid had a gun and been in q
position to shoot. it might have
been different. They would have
caught him eventually anyway
Why would any cop shoot him ir
the back?"
DR.. James I. Boyd, Prince
Georges County medical officer
reported after an autopsy that
the boy died almost at once from
bullet which passed in and out
of his body through his chest anc
upper abdomen. Loss of the bull
let apparently makes it impossi-
BILE to determine which police
man fired the shot.

Young Refuses Comment.
Commissioner Young was asked
whether the White House had
made any suggestions about re-
placing Mr.. Schwab and whether
the Commissioners would reap
point him. He said he couldn't
comment on either question.
Secretary Ross, asked if the
President had been in touch with

however, that he would not en-

partment. He added he was sure
the Interior Department regarded
him as a thorn in its side"
Interior, pledged to observance
of Mr.. Truman'S civil rights pro-
gram, has been in almost constant
battle with the Recreation Board
in the Interior Departments ef-
forts to eliminate segregation from
the recreational areas controlled
by the board.
Active Along With Wender.
Mr.. Schwab, along with Chair
man Harry S. Wender. has been
active in the Recreation Boards
fight to gain control of recreation
units operated by Interior through
the National Capital Parks office.
Early this year. the board and
the department signed a basic
agreement giving the board con-
troll of practically all Interior
units except swimming pools. The
swimming pool issue is still not
resolved.
Interior plans to open it's six
swimming pools on a non-segre-
gated basis this summer. A bill
reported out by the House Dis
trict Committee last week would
block that plan by transferring
the six pools to the Recreation
Board.
The board itself recently re-
jected an offer by Interior to
allow the board to take over the
pools on q non-segregated basis.
Says He Supported Change.
Mr.. Schwab commented last
night that he had been attacked
on the grounds that he had op-
posed a bylaw change last year
which eliminated the boards ban
fagainst inter-racial activities and
established a policy of making
every effort to eliminate segre-
cation as quickly as possible. Mr.
Schwab said the record would
show he had supported this
change and helped Mr.. Wender
put it through.
Only recently the Interior De-
partment removed Irving c. Root
superintendent of National Capital
Parks, as its representative on the
Recreation Board, repeatedly for
lack of sympathy with the civil
rights policy. Mr.. Root, however
had followed the Interior policy
and always opposed segregation
in public discussions and votes
on the board.

sistant, succeeded him on the
board.
