Merger
Plan Is Opposed
By Federation
Citizens Group Asks
Addition of Wilson
And Miner Facilities

The Federation of Citizens AS
sociations last night voted to op-
pose merger of Wilson Teachers
College and its colored counter-
part, Miner Teachers College, as
advocated by DR.. Walter Hager.
Wilson president.
The resolution adopted favored
"the retention of the dual school
system in the Teachers Colleges
in the District as they are pres
emily constituted"
BY adopting suggestions of its
Education Committee, offered by
Chairman Thomas B. Scott, the
federation said that if properly
utilized, the three teachers coll
leges-which include Howard UNI
versity-are adequate"
But the resolution commented
that there are many desirable
constructive measures" in DR..
Hager's report, and did not dis
approve If it as a whole.
Would Expand Facilities.
Existing facilities should be
built up, the resolution said, by
measures such as Offering a mas
ter's degree at Wilson and provid-
ing more staff members. The COM
mittee pointed out that the capac-
ity at Wilson is 900, the college
is near that number and ANY
merger would mean new school
buildings, which is not feasible in
these times of defense emer-
gency."
In taking its stand. the fedora
ton approved the findings of a
number of its member bodies, in
cluding Brookland, Cathedral
Heights-Cleveland Park, Petworth,
Thomas Circle and Hillcrest.
In adopting another recommen-
dation of its Education Commit
tee, the federation advocated
higher pay for public school
teachers. A "flat II per cent in
crease on the first $1,000 in SAL
aries for both police and firemen"
also was urged.
The federation devoted consid-
cradle time to a proposal for
withdrawing the more than SO
Metropolitan policemen assigned
to guard Blair House. as the after
math Of the attempt on the life
Of President Truman. But 1t final
ly adopted resolution to ask
the Federal Government to re-
lieve the Metropolitan Police Of
various duties it now performs for
the national Government.
Costs Called Unfair.
The committee declared the
constant and progressive in
crease in services rendered by the
District departments to the Fed
eral Government and the higher
costs of these services is most
unfair"
when the Federal Govern
ment accepts its rightful obliga-
tions and pays its fair share to-
wards the maintenance of the ma
tional Capital, the revenues as
now constituted should be suf-
ficient to enable the District Of
Columbia to be an honest en-
ployer of her civil servants and
especially her uniformed men be-
longing to our most important
protective and safety services" the
report said.
The federation voted to ask its
Herbert P. Leeman, to
set up special Civil Defense
Committee.

when you are a grandmother?
"C'est Paris" answered without
hesitation the wife of the Presi-
dent of France midst some chuck
ling and mods of agreement.
Nine. Vincent Auriol met the
feminine press yesterday and
withstood the onslaught with
matchless equanimity, poise and
amiability. Clad in a Dior en-
semble, a black tie silk dress with
a white print and matching jacket
with collar and cuffs of black vel
vet, she listened calmly to the in
terpreter's translation of each
question and answered with in
telligence and tact. She is a tall
good looking woman with an ele-
giant but unaffected bearing. Hel
appearance of distinction il
heightened by her soignee hair-de
dark locks brushed back into q
long bob with wings" of white
hair at the temples.
Her initiation into the frank, il
sometimes trying American press
conference took place within the
handsome confines of the French
Embassy where Nine. Bonnet had
invited some so to 80 members OF
the Womens National Press Club
to meet Nine. Auriol and partake
of an excellent luncheon while M
Auriol broke bread with the mems

bubbling champagne rosee.
The questions came fast anc

they revealed SO blantantly the

Auriol told us that there are more
