Pupil Shifts Seen
By Sharpe il New
Schools Are DELAYED

Some District school children
may have to be shifted to differ
ent buildings, if the city is forced
to postpone new school construc-
ton, C. Melvin Sharpe, president
of the Board of Education. warned
today.
The school board head, urging
provision of "at least a wholesome
portion" of needed building funds.
also advocated a trial re-ahocation
of pupils, even if the building
program goes forward.
The re-alloeation would fill. up
Iclassrooms now vacant to make
room for mounting numbers of
elementary school enrollees, whom
the school system is having
trouble accommodating. he said.
Mr.. Sharpe made his recon-
mendations in a statement in
which he conceded that the de-
fense program may curtail funds
for new buildings. Material short
ages also will be a problem. he
added. .--. -
12-Project Program.
A building program of II prof.
ects, expected to cost more than
$6.3 million, now is awaiting action
in Congress. Five of the projects
were supposed to begin this year,
but were delayed by rising crn-
struction costs.
If the building program can't
be carried out, 1T may be neces-
sary to so arrange Our scholastic
use-of- buildings program, on A
trial basis at least, as to provide
facilities for the initial entrance
into the kindergartens and ele-
mentary grades Of thousands of
young children" the school board
head declared.
Many classrooms now are empty
in the white schools, although the
colored schools have had an in
crease in students, he pointed out
i The re-allocation he has ir
mind, Mr.. Sharpe emphasized
would make no basic change ir
the curriculum. School officials
recently have discussed-and op-
Iposed-the idea of abandoning
the present junior high system ir
favor of an eight-year elementary
school and four-year high school
Mr.. Sharpe said that problem
should be left to the determine
ltion of professional educators.
Junior College Endorsed.
The school system already has
Iproved that elementary and high
schools can operate successfully
in the same building. he said.
The school board head also in.

with his handling of the case Of
Harold Christoffel, who is under
conviction for lying to a congress
sional committee when he swore
he never was a Communist.
The court held that Mr.. Rogge.
now practicing law in New York,
neglected to take legal steps in
time for the proper submission of
an appeal from Christoffel's con-
viction and sentence of from two
to six years in prison.
It was ruled, however, that the
appeal for a new trial will be
heard because the court found no
evidence to indicate Christoffel
"had any reason to doubt that
his counsel would give due atten-
tion to the appeal"
Rogge Defends Course.
Christoffel,N former head of q
CIO United Auto Workers local
in Milwaukee, was convicted in
District Court of lying to the
House Labor Committee and SEN
fenced in March, 1850.
From his home in Stamford,
Conn, Mr.. Rogge told the Asso.-
ciated Press: II did everything a
lawyer could do" He added the
courts ruling "is not only wrong.
its action also is wrong" The
attorney declared he stands will
ing to defend himself before the
bar committee.
Mr.. Rogge has figured. in q
number of controversies since for
mer Attorney General Clark, now
10 member Of the Supreme Court,
discharged him in 1946 for "vio-
lating regulation" with speeches
against persons Mr.. Rogge de-
|scribed as American Fascists."
Prosecuted Louisiana Case.
He joined the Justice Depart
ment in 1889 and became we'll
known nationally during his
prosecution of the Huey Long po-
litical machine in Louisiana.
He also was Government prose-
cutor at the mass sedition trial
here.
After leaving Federal service
Mr.. Rogge became active in the
Progressive Party. He backed the
'party's nomination Of former Vice
President Henry Wallace for the
presidential race in 194S.
Both Mr.. Rogge and Mr.. Wal
lace argued it would be possible
to make peaceful agreements with
the Communists. Both men adj
mitted later their disillusionment
as to the peaceful" aims of the
Communists.
Court Rejects Explanations.
Mr.. Rogge gave the appeals
court several reasons for not FL
ing the required papers for an ap~
peal prior to the deadline last
May 20. He had been called to
Europe on two occasions before
the deadline.
In addition, Mr.. Rogge said. he
turned the filing job over to a.
law partner whose attention was
diverted by the fact that his wife
gave birth prematurely, and by
the press of legal duties.
The court rejected these and
other explanations. +
While a client ordinarily is
bound by the actions of his attor-
neys. the court held, the Supreme
Court has made provision to pro-
tect defendants who might be
imprisoned without full consid-
Grafton of substantial questions
in the case"
The court gave a Today extern

handed down yesterday, in which
papers supporting an appeal can
