Along the Potomac
to Washington
By j. Glenn Beall
Congressman Sixth District

A House Civil Service subcommit-
tee, headed by Rep. Williams, Demo-
crat of Mississippi, charged with in
vcstigating alleged overstaffing of
Government personnel, submitted the
first report on the Federal Security
Agency, the first to be investigated.
The subcommittee charged that the
$4,000 employees in FSA were too
many, asserting "some key officials
are wary of making decisions that
will reduce employment or incur the
ill-will Of a colleague or of a par
ticular group with whom they dis
agree" The report added, "The vari-
Gus units are frustrated and dis
organized. Under the present ar
rangement they are not producing in
proportion to their cost" 1t charged
that FSA employees engaged in
personnel work have received an
average pay raise of $l,701 in excess
of the four pay raises voted for
Government employees. The President
has asked Congress to expand FSA
into cabinet-status Department of
Health, Education and Security, yet
the subcommittee declared the three
units most guilty of gross over-staff-
ing are the Office of Education, the
Division of Management Planning,
and Services in the Bureau of Old
Age and Survivors Insurance

with a record of 60 years of existence,

Announcing the decision of the direc-

Judge Frank S. Revan, president, said
the bank had only "hatfull" of farm

Alumni of Negro Colleges
Graduates of Negro colleges
are considerably in number and
tomorrow these numbers will ap-
preciably increase throughout the
domain Of education. There is al
no more ~heartening phenomenon
an~dspectacle today than the resort
the Negro youth is having to the
educational institutions ofthe land.
When still greater numbers of
Negroes and whites receive the
enlightenment of education, the
days Of segregation and discrim-
ination will be numbered.
As the numbers Of Negro grad
yates increase, the alumni Of Ne
gro colleges will seek more and
more to register their voices in
the administrative affairs of their
alma mater. This is today posing
q great question that will become
more complicated and vexing as
the years pass and as the numbers
increase. THERE'S today scarcely
any group that is more nobaly in
tentioned that the alumni Of Ne
gro schools who are seeking more
and more to have a greater and
greater Voice inthe administration
ofthe affairs ofthe schools that
produced them. This is as it should
be except for the fact that con-
sistently this greater voice is
being denied them.
Whenthe presidency Of the Ne
gro college becomes vacant, one
Of the. first things that the alum
nj seek to do is to have a say S 0
inthe selection of the new presi-
dent; and. one ofthe first things
that the trustees do is to dis
regard the wishes Of the interest
ed alumni. To what extent this is
true of the AME and AMEz
schools the writer has no way of
knowing; but for, schools financ-
ed by the state and by religious
boards ofthe North it is invari
ably true that the presidents are
handed down without regards for
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-01-17
!: Between the Lines

the wishes Of the Negro alumni.
A few year ago the foundations
because Of their support select
ed the president; but for the most
part the support Of these founda-
tons is rapidly diminishing; yet
they are still powerful in the selec-
ton of presidents for Negro col
And wherethe foundations
leave off thetrustees Of the reli-
gious or UNCONVENTIONAL schools
take over with the result there
is little that thealumni can say or
do in the matter except become
peeved and irated when presi-
dents oftheir alma mater are ap-
pciated without any appreciate
concern for their wishes.
This writer remembers quite
distinctly whenthe board of one
ofthe UNCONVENTIONAL schools in
the South not only did not reco-
gnize the wishes Of the alumni of
it's school in the selection of a
new president, but elected to the
presidency a man who had bitter
ly fought the school for 80 years.
A few of the alumni faced the
fact squarely but they could do
nothing but grumble and COM
plain. Not only did the board ell
ect a nan who had fought the
school but allowed him to name
his successor. The point here is
notw neither these selections are
good or bad, the question is the
alumni of the Negro colleges have
little or no voice in selecting the
presidents of their schools.
What is true of the denomina-
tional colleges is doubly true of
the state colleges. The white
boards of these colleges elect the
man they want without regard to
the wishes ofthe alumni. The wri-
ter has in mind a case where the
faculty and student body went
all out in support Of their man
for the presidency Of their college
They were abetted by the entire
alumni but whenthe time came For
the election Of a new president
