Most of the objections to ques-
tions are the result of misap-
prehension about the way the
census works. An example is the
citizen who maintains a voting
residence back home in one of the
States. These persons are wor-
ried that, if they are listed as Dis
trict residents, they may lose their
voting rights. They won't.

crew leader. Full of enthusiasm,
she punched her first doorbell.
When a man came to the door
she explained her mission and
asked to be admitted. The man
stared at her silently and closed
the door. She went on to the
next house, where the situation
was exactly repeated.
Desperately, the crew leader
rang a third doorbell. When her
summons was answered by a
courteous and responsive house
wife, the young woman asked,
Whats wrong around here"
"Nothng's wrong" she was told,
"but we have quite a colony of

Hearing SET Thursday
On Bill 10 Transfer
Control III! OLD. Pools

Legislation to transfer from the
Interior Department to the Dis
trict Commissioners control over
public parks, Fairgrounds and
swimming pools in the National
Capital will come before a House
District Subcommittee for public
nearing at 10 am. Thursday. g..
The bill was introduced by
Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee. The hearing
will be before the Subcommittee
on Health, Education and Recrea-
tlon headed by Representative
Abernethy of Mississippi.
The six swimming pools in
Volved, long a center of contro-
versy on the segregation issue, will
be operated this summer, under
the Interior Department non
segregation policy. They are
banneker, Francis. Takoma, East
Potomac, Mckinley and Anacostia
Involved in the legislation also
is a transfer of the operational
costs to the District of the entire
park area now administered here
by the Interior Department, most
ly at Federal expense.
For several years the Interior
Department through it's office of
National Capital Parks has desig-
mated all six swimming pools here
to be used by both white and COL
ored persons. The first difficulty,
however, arose last summer when
a racial incident at the Anacostia
swimming pool developed to such
serious proportions that the pool
was closed for the rest of the
season.
The Mckinley pool also was
used on a non-segregated basis
last summer. mostly by colored
persons. A few minor disturbances
took place there, but the pool was
kept open for the season.
