Public Hearing Called REORGANIZATION Plan
On Proposal 10 Make To Include Views Of
Playground Bi-Racia| District Residents

The District Recreation Board
has called a public hearing for /
pm. Tuesday to consider the Gre
alton of a bi-racial recreation
program at the Hoover Play
ground.
Milo Christensen, recreation
superintendent. has recommended
that the Hoover Playground, at
Second and N streets S.W., be
operated as a bi-racial unit. The
playground is a block north of
Fort McNair, in an area where
the colored population has grown.
Mr.. Christensen said John R.
Searles. deputy director of the
District Redevelopment Land
Agency, will appear at the hear
ing to outline development plans
for the Southwest section of the
city.
Apparently no strong opposition
has developed in Southwest to the
change in the status of Hoover
Playground. Mr.. Christensen said.
1t is being operated as a white
playground now but attendance
has fallen. he added.
Playground in Transitional Area.
Hoover Playground is one of a
number of recreation units in
transitional areas" which are be-
ing studied now by the Recreation
Department.
In the last few years. since the
Recreation Board removed from
it's bylaws a ban on inter-racial
units and promised to integrate
Fairgrounds as soon as practic-
able, a number of bi-racial units
have been put into operation.
The first two were Garfield and
Rose Park. Since then a bi-racial
recreation center has been opened
at Cardozo High School. and the
New York Avenue. Raymond and
Noyes Fairgrounds have become
inter-racial.
Mr.. Christensen said his de-
partment is studying the racial
situation at Rosedale, Trinidad,
Langley and = Sherwood Play
grounds.
Immediate action is needed on
both the Langley and Sherwood
Fairgrounds, he said.
Langley is white playground
at the Langley Junior High
School. transferred earlier in the
year to colored students. Sher-
wood is located across the street
from the Madison Elementary
School, just last week transferred
to colored students by the Board |
of Education.
Mr.. Christensen said Sherwood
is one of the large white recrea-
ton units in that area. With the
transfer of the Madison School to
colored pupils, the future of the

Crime Probers
May Request
Time Extension
District Subcommittee
Scheduled to Go Out
Of Existence Jan. 81

Senate District Committee Of
ficials last night indicated they
probably would seek an extension|
of time for the investigation of
District crime and law enforce
ment.
The inquiry, under present
authority, would have to be con-
cluded by January 81.
Investigators now feel they are
progressing since they have
QUESTIONABLE answers from about
$50 Washington policemen, as
well as access to individual in
come tax returns of police and
Others.
Hearing Set Jan. IA.
Another reason is that the one
public hearing so far scheduled
has been set for January IA only
two weeks before the Senate
District Crime subcommittee
would expire.
Arnold Bauman, New York at
torney in charge of the investi-
cation staff. last night concluded
that additional time would be
needed if the committee is to
round out its job.
Chairman Neely, Of the Senate
District Committee and head of
its special crime subcommittee,
previously had said he would goI
to the Senate for extra time if he
found that the inquiry group could
not complete its task by January
81. The West Virginian has said
also that if such a situation de-
velops he feels certain the Senate
would grant the extra time and
funds.
Senator Welker Concurs.
A similar view was voiced last
night by Senator Welker, Republi-
can Of Idaho. a member of the
crime subcommittee. He said he
thought more time would be
needed.
Senator Welker has spent some
time in the West since Congress
recessed. but planned to confer
this week with Mr.. Bauman to
get an outline of the inquiry's
program and progress.
The January ID hearing was
scheduled after the investigators
served their first subpoena. This
went to Roger white Top) Sim
kins, colored. whose wife. Yvonne
Simkins, is said to have been the
owner of the Brass Rail Cafe in

Jury Probed Shootings.
This case was Investigated later ,
by a grand jury making a gam
bling inquiry but there was no ,
further action.
Mr.. Bauman had little to sayl
about what he and his staff are
getting out of the police ques-
tionnaire replies or from the in

ABERDEEN, Md, Dec. 8.-Back
from the wars so long that its
original crew is probably too old
for combat, a proud old Bit
stuck its nose into extinction here
this week.
Except for the tatters of its
rubber de-icing boots Tapping
from the wings and its empty gun
mounts. it appeared poised for a
mission other than its last one.
There was even the odor of gas
oline. flushed out of its fuel cells
by water.
Then the blast hit.
From 100 yards away behind
a sturdy shelter. scientists set off
2.750 pounds Of TINT only 120 feet
in front of the bomber's nose.
