J. f. Schwab 10 Leave
Recreation Board for
.zoning Board Post

James E. schwab. real estate
man. yesterday was appointed to
a three-year term on the District
Board Of zoning Adjustment.
Last night. the sS-year -old
realtor announced he will resign
his post on the District Recrea-
tion Board. where he has served
since 1942.
Mr.. Schwab replaces Culver B.
Chamberlain, a lawyer. who has
been on the coming board since
1889. Mr.. Chamberlain's term ex-
Ipires Sunday.
Engineer Commissioner Bernard
l.. Robinson, who recommended
Mr.. Schwab, pointed out that the
board now gets its only real estate
man.
Sudden Decision.
OF his recreation board post, to
which he was appointed to a four
year term in May. 1850, despite
objections by the Interior De-
partment, Mr.. Schwab said the
job had become "monotonous and
difficult"
He emphasized that his resigna-
ton did not result from pressure.
but that he simply decided to take
the Zoning Board position when
the matter came up suddenly
about two weeks ago.
At the time of his last Recrea-
tion Board reappointment, Interior
Secretary Chapman repeatedly
tried to keep Mr.. Schwab off be-
cause Of the appointee's conserva-
tive views toward racial segrega-
tion on the city's Fairgrounds.
II had planned to resign before
now" he said last night. THE
zoning Board is something I'm
more interested in"
Segregation Views Unchanged.
He added that his views toward
segregation remain unchanged.
THE issue of segregation must
be worked out gradually" he said.
"a sudden switch to non-segrega-
ton on Fairgrounds in racially
mixed neighborhoods would mean
the Fairgrounds would become vir-
tually all Negro. This has been
established.
TITS just matter of common
sense. We have been fighting for
years to get children on the play
grounds and we shouldn't do any
thing now to get them off,"
Mr.. Schwab's business Office is
at 5522 Connecticut avenue NV.
and his home at 3715 Ingomar
street NV.

We'll be able to get a picture
of the functions in relation to the

that will give us the necessary

Mr.. Donohue said it can then be

The city heads, at their board

DR.. Edward U. Condor, retiring
director of the National Bureau OF
Standards, last night called for
creation of a new Department OF
Scientific Research as the most
natural way for Congress to deal
with science in unified way"
He outlined this idea at a ban
quet in the Hotel Statler, at which
he was honored by several hundred
lpersonS, including leading Scien-
ItistS. bureau officials. employees and
their wives. DR.. Condor leaves
Government service Sunday to be-
come director of research for the
Corning Glass Co.
In alluding to the bureau in
connection with the "inadequacy
of the support it gets" DR.. Con-
don explained that the budgetary
problem of science in the Govern
ment is a perplexing and harassing
problem"
"It is perplexing and harassing
in two ways" he added. First, in
terms of the funds available for
basic research, and second, in
terms Of the budgetary processes. "
Would Consolidate Agencies.
DR.. Condor said part of the diff
Ificulty lies in the technical nature
Iof the work of the scientific agen-
cies and the lack of technically
trained people in the agencies that
have jurisdiction over the given
scientific bureau. But, he also de-
clared:
Part of the difficulty stems
from the problems of relations
with Congress. I believe that both
Of these problems can. if not be
solved, at least be ameliorated by
two actions: First, the establish
ment Of committee of Congress
concerned solely with science in
the Government, and. second. by
the consolidation of the scientific
agencies - either within a single
department or by a consolidation
of their budgets, with no regard
to the department within which
they happen to fall-within the
Bureau of the Budget"
DR.. Condor said he believes the
general Importance of scientific
research in the Federal Govern
ment has become so great that the
scientific agencies should be gath
cred up into what would be in
effect single department of
government"
Smithsonian as Alternative.
IF it were not considered de-
sirable to establish new Depart
ment OF Scientific Research, then
l would recommend that the
Smithsonian Institution be used
Evening star., 1951-09-28

for that purpose" the speaker
declared.
DR.. Condor also took the oppor-
tunity to let loose a blast at some
members of Congress" who sc
otter, give expression to attitudes
of contempt and distrust toward
the thousands of dedicated. con-
Iscientious and intelligent citizens
in the Government service that
they have to be quite thick
skinned indeed not to have their
morale in some measure impaired
by such treatment.
This situation" he contended
has been greatly aggravated in
recent years by the use Of dis
honest smear tactics in Congress
giving rise to an artificial hys-
terra which has led to widespread
Iinjustices toward Government EN-
Iployes carried out in the name OF
the Loyalty Program. DR.. Condor
himself once was the victim of ar
attack made before q congress
sional committee.
He added that mot the least OF
the evils associated with the &C.
tual functioning of the loyalty
boards is the slowness with which
they operate.
Criticized by Committee.
Three years ago DR.. Condor
was termed by a House I'm Amer.
ican Activities subcommittee lone
of the weakest links in our atomic
security"
He retorted at that time that il
that charge were true that is very
gratifying and the country can
feel absolutely safe. for I am
completely reliable, loyal. consci-
entious and devoted to the inter-
ests Of my country as my whole
career and life clearly reveal"
Commerce Secretary Sawyer
in paying tribute to the retiring
bureau head, said: THE funda-
mental role Of the National Bu-
reau Of Standards has been
augmented and strengthened by
several important programs de-
veloped under DR.. Condon's lead
ership."
Others who paid tribute to DR..
Condor were DR.. A. v. Astin. as
sociate director of the bureau;
DR.. Hugh L. Dryden, director Of
the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics: Rear Admiral c.
M. Bolster, chief of the Office OF
Naval Research. and DR.. H. P
Robertson of the ONCE of the
Secretary of Defense.
DR.. Condor was presented with
many gifts, including watch, by
his friends and colleagues.

Rules Committee Hear Supporters
Of Filibuster This Week

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 = After
hearing the filibuster attacked for
two days this week as unconsti-
tutional, anti-democratic and an
aid to Soviet propaganda, the
Senate Rules Committee recessed
until Tuesday, October 9, to take
testimony from the defenders of
the filibuster.
The filibuster in the United

cutive secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, charged at the
opening session of the hearings,
provided the model for Soviet OBJ
structionism in the Security Coun-
Gil of the United Nations and 9TH

To avert these tactics at the
japanese Peace Treaty Conference

British delegations "drew up rules
of procedure to impose cloture
precisely as Senators Morse, Leh-
man, Wherry, Lodge, Humphrey
and others propose, in these reso-
buttons, to do in the Senate. :.
Imagine how vulnerable the Uni
ted States will be throughout the

on Russia at San Francisco and
refuses to do so to obstructionists
in the United States Senate"
