Lee Won Seek
School Board
Post Again
Plans to Step Out
When His Third Term
Expires Next Year

Adelbert w. Lee, vice president
of the Board of Education and
long one of its most controversial
figures, will not seek reappoint-
ment to the board when his cur
rent three-year term expires on
July /. 1852.
Mr.. Lee, who is serving his third
term on the board and is chair
man of its personnel committee.
said late yesterday he will not ask
for reappointment. He refused to
state why but made this comment:
II have good and sufficient rea-
sons, but I am not stating them
at this time. I may amplify
later"
Earlier yesterday, C. Melvin
Sharpe. president of the board,
also said his forthcoming fifth
term will be his last. 1t begins
on July / and runs through 1854.
He was reappointed this week by
the District Court judges. He said
he had mo reasons at all for my
decision and I am not going into
details"
Seeks to Gust Corning.
Mr.. Lee long has been feuding
with DR.. Hobart M. Corning,
superintendent of District Schools
and it is believed he will spark any
opposition movement to DR.. Corn
ing's reappointment when the
superintendent's present three
year term ends next March.
The clash has been going on
for almost five years, when DR..
Corning came here from Omaha,
Neb.
Mr.. Lee has stated publicly that
the board should consider whether
DR.. Corning should be reappointed
He has stated that he is deter
mined to attempt to fire DR.. Corn
ing. The conflict between the two
men apparently is the outgrowth
of a basic difference of opinion on
the nature of DR.. Corning's duties,
as well as on how he is attending
to them.
Last December 6, Mr.. Lee severe
ly criticized DR.. Corning in con-
nection with the personnel COM
mittee's discussion of problems of
distributing surplus foods in the
schools. Although this criticism
seemed only to involve the right of
DR.. Corning to address the board
without permission, it served tot
highlight even further the friction
between the two officials, which
repeatedly has rocked the board,
with resultant cumulative effects.
Wars on Textbooks.
On several occasions, Mr.. Lee
has taken the stand that some
textbooks used in the District
school system were either subver-
sive or slanted toward socialism.
Less than month ago, House
District subcommittee started
preparation of report to the full
committee, following a sudden,
short and secret inquiry into the
matter. Mr.. Lee was among those
testifying.
Shortly before this, Mr.. Lee dis
sented when the board had decided
to approve the recommendations
of DR.. Corning and his professional
teacher advisers on certain text
books.
Representative Miller, Republi-
can, of Nebraska, a member of the
subcommittee that held the hear
ings. specified, in a personal report
sent to the District Committee al
short time ago. that he agreed
with Mr.. Lee that the textbook
American Government. by Frank
Abbott Magruder. was "slanted to-
ward socialism"
A Southeast real estate and in
surance man, Mr.. Lee was ap-
pointed to the board in 1943.

dents.
The District affords police and
fire protection to the Federal
agencies. Government officials and
visiting dignitaries.
All of this and other services
are free, except to the extent that
costs may be covered by the size
of the variable and dwindling
Federal payment.
Costs Calculated.
The cost of special details of
Metropolitan Police for specific
Federal purposes, for instance,
was calculated to be $780, 900.
The annual cost to the Fire De-
|partment for Federal services was
estimated at $4,000. This in

There are other services less

think of the treatment and dis

buildings? But this is one Of the
Districts services to Uncle Sam
and it costs the city an estimated
$165,000 a year.

and the diplomatic corps adds
another $4,000 a year.
The maintenance, improvement
and policing of Federally titled
park areas here was set down as
a cost of 81 million a year.
Decentralization a Factor.
One of the ironic twists is that
the District can't take full ad-
vantage of the tremendous ex-
pansion of Federal Government
activities seen here in recent years
One reason is that every time the
United States acquires more prop.

loses just that much more from
