'CoIored Group Plans
Colonial Beach Visit
On Holiday Opening
By J. l. MichoeI
Star Stoff Correspondent

COLONIAL BEACH, Va, May
26.-A delegation of Negroes plans
Ito bathe with white persons here
Decoration Day unless town au-
thorities set aside a section of this
resorts Potomac River beach for
their USE
Martin A. Martin, colored, of
Richmond, attorney for the Ma
Itional Association for the Ad-
Ivancement of Colored People,
disclosed these plans in response
to questions by a reporter.
Last summer, Mr.. Martin led a
group of Negroes who appeared
Ion the main section of the mile
long beach here. Two white
youths received minor knife
wounds and several colored per-
sons were belabored with fists,
shoes, sticks and stones.

mayor, negotiated cancellation of

Speaking by telephone from

he would lead another delegation
to the beach when the town Off

Il intend to carry out that
plan," he declared. cit is a mat
ter of integrity with me. I started
this movement and I propose to
see it through"
Mr.. Martin said he would be
accompanied by delegations from
Washington, Fredericksburg, Rich
mond and perhaps New York. He
refused to say how many would be
in the party.

we hope there will be none" Mr.
Martin said, land we. expect the
town to provide police protection. Z"
Want Separate Section.
Asked if he insisted on using the
entire beach on the same terms
as white persons, Mr.. Martin re-
piled:
mo, we have never asked that
and do not ask it now. We do not
want to mingle with the whites.
All we want now and all we have
ever requested is that the town
set aside a portion of the beach
for colored people.
There are a number of suit
able places which can be made
available but for Is years town
officials have refused to do so de-
spite the fact that a substantial
number of colored persons are
property owners and are taxed
on The same basis as whites
Town Treasurer E. Hugh Gould

Transit Firms Tell ICC'
Suburban Area Survey
Is Not Necessary

A proposed inquiry of the
Washington area transit situation
has been indorsed by the Govern
ment's executive branch and the
Department of Defense.
In a letter to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. which has
been petitioned to conduct the
survey, Maj. Gen. Reginald c.
Harmon, Judge Advocate General
of the Air Force, asserted that
the present system results in un-
reasonable transportation costs
and unnecessary delay in travel
for Federal employees.
He added that this problem
makes it difficult for the Gov
ernment to obtain and keep per-
sonnet"
Gen. Harmon wrote the letter
on instructions to represent both
the Defense Department and the
executive branch, through the
General Services Administration
The survey idea originated with
the Arlington County Board. join
ing in the petition to the ICC for
the survey were the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors, Falls
Church City Council, Montgomery
County Council, Interfederation
Council and the Arlington and
Prince Georges County Civic Fed
erations.
Object of the proposed survey is
to coordinate mass transporta-
ton schedules and fares in Wash
ington and vicinity, according to
the petition.
Gen. Harmon's letter points to
a lack of adequate transfer ar
rangements and proper schedul-
ing, failure to establish through
routes, and separate fares that
complicate the daily travel prob
lens of Government workers.
Firms File Objections.
Transportation firms, mean
while have expressed their objec-
tions to the survey idea.
The American Transit Associa-
tion, representing the majority OF
local transportation companies
and the Capital Transit Co., yes
Iterday filed replies with the Inter
state Commerce Commission op-
posing the suggested survey.
| According to Alta, the proposed
inquiry is outside the ices juris-
Idiction; would burden the ICC
with "arduous and unnecessary
work to the detriment of its other
ldlties, and might establish pre-
Icedent for other Metropolitan
Areas with adverse affects on loca,
services
i Capital Transit asked dismissal
|of the inquiry petition on similar
grounds.
All companies that would be
affected by the survey, said Capt.
ltal Transit now are adequately
regulated and supervised by the
ICC and local utility commits
lsi4ns."

Medical Society Hits
'Dlatory Tactics
In Defense Program

''Demoralizing dilatory tactics
in the civil defense program are
attacked in the latest edition of
the District Medical Society's
publication, Medical Annals"
In a column conducted by Theo-
dore Wiprud. executive secretary
of the Society, under the name of
THE Observer" the charge is
made that civil defense activities
in the District have been slowed
to a walk"
Editorial comment in the pubh-
cation is that of the writer's and
does not necessarily reflect the
views of the Society. the publica-
ton points out.
Mr.. Wiprud points out that
about the only evidence of life in
civil defense was the daily output
Iof mimeographed directives." The
article was written in mid-April.
Physicians Disappointed.
ITO say the least, physicians
active in civil defense. who have
so long hoped for an effective or.
|ganization, were disappointed" he
says.
TOO often they have been frus-
trated by their inability to obtain
definite commitments or by the
lack of funds"
Mr.. Wiprud says the medical
men are not the only ones who
have felt the cold hand of frus-
tration."
Officials from top to bottom
in the civil defense organization
in the District have had the same
Experience" he says. Under the
circumstances. this is a deadly
serious matter"
Pointing out that "either there
is a need for civil defense or there
isn't" he says:
If there isn't, we should stop
pretending that civil defense is
necessary and admit it is a
waste of manpower, money and
time.
IF civil& defense is vitality i'm
portant to our safety, there seems
little excuse for the dilatory tao
tics which have been so demor-
alizing."
Only Start in Planning.
Mr.. Wiprud says some start has
been made on medical civil de-
fense planning. but he points out
it is only beginning.
There is now set up in the
Medical Society headquarters,
1718 M street NV, an Office
manned by a secretary, where
medical personnel is being tabu-
lated so doctors can be assigned
to their qualifications and avail
ability.
Several sites throughout the
District have been designated as
emergency hospital sites, and
oPdNC III DloIIICI 1uCIlOUSGS Has
been allocated for use of emer-
gency casualty treatment teams.
Designation of the space was
made after several members of
the Medical Care Services COM
mittee complained to Brig. Gen
Gordon r. Young, Engineer Com
missioner. that their planning
program was blocked.
Mr.. Wiprud points out, how
ever, that funds are needed foi
education of the public, for per-
sonnet and for medical supplies

tion during the first crucial hours
