Negroes Ask Meeting
On Cafe Prosecution

A group of Negro leaders today
asked the District Commissioners
for a conference aimed at forcing
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West to prosecute restaurants re-
fusing to serve colored citizens.
Last week the Municipal Court
of Appeals ruled in a split decision
that "lost" law, from 1873 for
bidding segregation in eating
places here still was valid. How
ever, Mr.. West said he did not
intend to prosecute any cases until
higher courts had ruled.
The case was a test brought by
Mr.. West against Thompson's Res
taurant, Fourteenth street and
New York avenue NV, to see if
the old law still was in force. The
restaurant plans to appeal the de-
cision against it to the United
States Court of Appeals.
The group seeking the confer
ence is the Co-ordinating Commit
tee for the Enforcement of the

John Russell Young, Mrs. Ter
rell said:
1--WE have read with astonish-
ment Mr.. Vests statement to the
press that he does not intend to
prosecute any violations under this
law until all appellate proceedings
have been completed. This un-
usual and hasty statement by an
officer entrusted with enforcing
the law will have the Immediate
result of encouraging violations" :"
Mrs. Terrell also said that a

called for June Is at the Metro

D. Control Bill
To Be Changed,
0'Conor Says
Action Sought in Move
To Transfer Authority
From President to GSA

Chairman O'Conor of o Senate
subcommittee today predicted that
substantial changes would be made
lin bill to transfer from the
President to the General Services
Administration control over the
District government and three
other agencies here.
The Maryland Democrat an.
|nounced after an executive hear
ling on the bill that he hoped to
get action on 1t "in the very near
future"
introduced by Mcclellan.
The bill was introduced by
Chairman Mcclellan Of the Senate
Expenditures Committee and is
under consideration by this groups
subcommittee headed by Senator
lO'Conor.
Recommended in principle by
the Hoover Commission. the bill
met with objection from officials
Of the District government and
the other three agencies involved.
They are. the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
the Smithsonian Institution and
the Commission Of Fine Arts.
Staff Sees Flaws.
In a memorandum by the EX-
penditures Committee staff after
careful study of reports from
the agencies concerned, the COM
mittee was told that the bill did
not afford a suitable or adequate
solution of the problem Of reduc-
ing the number Of agencies re-
porting directly to the President
in so far as these particular agen-
cies are concerned"
The bill provides that all
powers now vested in the Presi-
dent "for the direction, control,

agencies shall be exercised by the
Administrator of General Services

troll Of the President.
Amendments Not Specified.
Senator O'Conor did not explain
what amendments would be made
to the bill. But It was indicated
elsewhere that the measure may
be rewritten to allow the four
agencies to turn to the GSA for
certain housekeeping" work. But
the District government would
still remain directly under the
President.
The subcommittee, its chairman
said, hoped to hold another ex-
ecutive session with officials of
the Budget Bureau and the Hoo
Iver Commission before finally act
ing on the bill.

Committee Suggests
Appeal to District
Judges on Secrecy
By Miriom Gutenberg

~ sN"t&" SAtSuD~bS
The Juvenile Court study com.
mittee, in its long-awaited report
on the court, steers clear of per-
sonalities despite the controversy
now swirling about Judge Edith H.
Cockrill, it was learned today.
The four-member committee
has sent its 50-odd page report to
the judge and assumes she will
make it public in the near future.
Judge Cockrill has said she will
withhold any recommendations
for Strengthening out the contro-
versy over her secrecy order until
she has read the findings of the
study committee.
Two designations Handed In.
Her order. limiting inspection
of official court records and COM
Ipletely shutting off information
about the case histories of adults
and children known to the court.
has been at the core of the con-
Itroversy which has already
prompted two designations from
the court.
The study committee, it was
learned, deals with the records
question by proposing an amend
ment to the law giving the Juve-
nile Court judge primary author
lity to say who gets access to court
information but providing for ap-
peal to District Court.
That proposal represents COM
promise between what Judge
Cockrill has said she wanted and
existing practices. Judge Cockrill
proposed that she get the final say
on inspection of court records.
The present law leaves that to
District Court, as far as official
records are concerned.
Social Files Involved.
The present argument. however.
is not as much over the official
records as over the information
gathered by case workers about
the background of the children.
Community agencies which in the
past have been getting this infor-
nation direct from court workers
were shut off from it by order OF
Judge Cockrill, and at this point
the District Court orders for in
Ispection of records apply only to
the official records.
To reopen the social files two
proposals have been made:
| Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
lhue is leading the move to draft
an amendment spelling out which
Iagencies should be given access
Ito court information and what in
formation they should get.
! Van Arkel Suggests Agreement.
| Senate District Committee
Counsel Gerhard p. Van Arkel. in
la memorandum to Committee
chairman Neely and Senator Ke-
lfauyer, Democrat, of Tennessee.
Fsaid he believed no amendment
was necessary. He took the view
1.-THE controversy could be resolved
by an agreement before Judge
Cockrill and the community
agencies affected by the informa-
ton ban.
The study committee, appoint
ed by Judge Cockrill in the wake
of a storm of protest oyer court
designations last year, has made
a few other suggestions for
amendments to the law in the
still-secret report.
These amendments are proposed
where the committee considered
the law inadequate or not working
too well. The report deals with
court organization, procedures
and policies, but not with the
person who administers them.
