committee, I received pictures of the
camp ground which is situated right
along the coast but never did real e.
ize its great beauty until after I ar
rived there. The modern cabins
many of them with fireplaces-were
something, but what really impressed
everyone was the great Pacific Ocean
on one side of the camp and fresh
water lake on the other.
The delegation consisted of presi-
dents and vice presidents of all the
Y-Teen clubs from Bellingham
Olympia. Portland. Seattle. Tacoma
Spokane, Eugene, etc, and Interclub

1000 New DWELLINGS
Started in Month

More than 1000 new dwelling
units were started in March by
Washington area home builders,
setting a new record for that
month, the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics reported today.
A further indication of the
housing boom in this area was the
disclosure that dwellings started
in the first three months of this
year were 80 per cent above the
first quarter of 1949.
In contrast to last year when
the emphasis was on apartment
housing, construction this year is
largely single family dwellings,
the Labor Department agency
said.
On the basis of building permits
issued. the expansion in residen-
tial building over last year oc-
CURED almost entirely in Wash
ington and Montgomery County,
which led in activity.
Construction cost as estimated
by builders of the 3,770 single
family units started during the
first quarter of this year averaged
$10,600. The average for the / 800
houses begun in the same period
last year was $1,000.

D. {. Commissioners
Recommend Against
Child Care Centers

The Commissioners. in a report
10 the Senate District Committee,
today recommended against con-
tinuation of the child day care
centers beyond June 80. They
said, however. they would not OBJ
ject to another year of operation
should the committee decide this
should be done.
The city heads said they did not
believe that the purpose for which
the day nurseries and nursery
schools were established justified
their continuation. Their willing
ness to go along with the COM
mittee, should it vote for another
year of operation. was contingent
on leaving jurisdiction over the
centers with the Board of Public
Welfare.
They made a direct objection to
the proposed transfer of the pro-
gram to the Health Department.
At the request of a spokesman for
the Senate committee, Health Of
flcer Daniel l.. Seckinger recently
submitted proposed bill to trans
fer the service to his department.
The Commissioners noted that
this bill would place the service
on a permanent basis without
limitation as to the number of
centers or the appropriations for
them.
The committee also has a bill
under study to continue the CEN
ters for an additional year and
fixing the city's cost at a maxi
mum of 100000.
Chairman Nicely today Cancelled
a scheduled meeting of the full
committee for action on a num-
ber of bills when it was found
quorum would be lacking because
too many members had to attend
other committee sessions.

House Unit Arranqinq
For Early Hearings on
New Big Airport

A House subcommittee decided
today to hold hearings as soon
as they can be arranged on legis-
lation to authorize another big
commercial airport in the Metro
politan Area.
Chairman Beckworth of the
Transportation Subcommittee of
the House Commerce Committee
said the legislation was consid-
cred briefly during an executive
session today. The time for the
hearings will be worked out by the
committee staff.
The subcommittee is considering
two measures. the Senate-passed
bill by Chairman johnson of the
Senate Commerce Committee and
virtually identical bill by Repre-
sentative Harris. Democrat, of
Arkansas.
Both authorize the big airport
and its connecting roads to be
constructed and maintained by
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton.
No specific site Is mentioned. It
is known, however, that one of the
areas under consideration is in
the vicinity Of Annandale, in near
by Virginia.
!! The subcommittee also made
tentative plans to hold a hearing
Thursday on the Senate-passed
bill to prohibit the transportation
iof gambling devices. such as slot
machines, in interstate and for
eign commerce. Witnesses will be
invited from the departments con-
cerned.
The measure was submitted to
Congress by the Justice Depart

ing of freight.

Home Rule Advocate
Cites Soda Pop Debate

A local government is the best
body to decide the number of soda
pop bottles that should be sold in
the National Guard Armory, and
not Congress. which debated the
matter last week.
So said Sturgis Warner. a mem
Der of the Washington Home Rule
Committee. who urged the Shipley
Terrace Citizens Association last
night to help ease the congress
sional work load by supporting the
kefauver home rule bill.
Mr.. Warner pointed to other
matters recently considered by
Congress which. he said, are really
the business Of local government
body.
Because Congress is so busy. said
Mr.. Warner, it has never found
the time to modernize sections OF
the common law long ago. re-
phrased by State and municipal
bodies. He said he knows of a
18th Century dover law, still ap-
plicable in the District, which
speaks of the rights of "a lady
tarrying in her castle"

the Kefauver bill at their next

to ask the District Water Division
to relieve property owners of the
obligation to pay the repair bill

To All Minorities

Representatives of % District.
Maryland, Virginia and Delaware
higher education institutions have
gone on record opposing discrimi-
nation against any minority group
in college admissions.
The conference of educators and
students. meeting at American
University yesterday, advocated
repeal Of any laws requiring segre-
cation in colleges and universities.
The group added that positive
laws forbidding schools to turn
down applicants on grounds of
race. creed or color may be one
of the desirable means of ending
discrimination"
Both Virginia and Delaware
require segregation of races in
education.
DR.. Walter E. Hager, president
of Wilson Teachers College, who
was chairman for the day-lone
session, told the eonferees, You
have faced the problem squarely. 4"

I'VE have gone on record much
more vigorously than I anticipated
We could at this conference" he
asserted.
The conference was sponsored
by a group of Washington area
educators TO consider problems of
discrimination in higher educa-
tion. 1t was the first regional
conference of it's kind, advocated
last fall by the American Council
on Education. About IS educators,
students and others connected
with schools were sent to the con-
ference by the heads of their in
stitutions.

unjustif1ed and un-American," a
majority Of the conferees agreed
They urged institutions in this
area to "re-examine practices and
policies" regarding admissions
with a view to ending discrimina-
tion.
DR. Hager. in a summing-up
talk. said the conferees recognize
it may take a long time to accom-
plish their ideals. 1t will be neces-
sary. he said. to lead up to the
ideals through education.
Steps Suggested.
Some of the steps suggested to
carry out the program are inter-
racial workshops at colleges, open
ing of more college. activities to
the community, exchange of stu
dents among various institutions
and leadership training of stu
dents.
1t was felt the major barriers
to ending discrimination exist
among boards of trustees, resi-
dents Of college community and
others outside of the student body.
DR.. Hager was authorized to
appoint a committee to plan with
national organizations how dis
elimination in education can be
combatted.
The conferees felt they did not
have enough information to con-
slider discrimination in hiring
teachers. They suggested colleges
could experiment" by placing
representatives of minority groups
in important faculty posi-
tions under conditions carefully
planned to assure success of the
experiment."
