Education Board
May Meet TO
Fire Teachers
Corning Declares
Pending Fund Cut
Would Force Action

The Board of Education has de-
cided to call special meeting to
fire teachers, if it becomes neces-
sary because of congressional ac-
ton.
This situation developed be-
cause the Senate Appropriations
Committee has approved a House
passed cut of 10 per cent in the
third supplemental appropriation
for the current fiscal year. School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning told the
school board the only way the 10
per cent cut could be met would
be by firing temporary and sub
Istitute teachers.
DR.. Corning said the cut would
make it necessary to save some
$4,000 between now and the end
of the school term in June. The
only way this can be done is by
reducing the number of suosti-
tute and temporary teachers, he
added.

The school board and DR.. Corn
ing agreed that so large a cut
back at this time would result in
serious damage to the education
of the children of the District"
DR.. Corning told the boarc
members that a special meeting
Will be necessary if the cut stand.
because of the time schedule
Temporary employees to be free
must have at least 10 days notice
he said. He added that any econ.
omles must be started by May ]
to be effective.
DR.. Corning said the plans are
Indefinite about how the firings
would be accomplished.
He pointed out that three posi-.
bilitieS exist. One would call TO,
the discharge of 200 of the city's
514 temporary teachers as of Nav
l. The other plans would call
for discharge of so of them by
May and the rest by June IL
or the discontinuance of substi-
tute teachers to fill in for perma-
nent teachers who are ill or dis
abled. A combination of the three
plans might be used, DR.. Corning
said.
In another action, the School
Board set a hearing for 10 am
May z to find out what the citi-
zens think of the plan to transfer
the Eliot Junior High School from
white to colored students next fall
Also proposed by DR.. Corning is
the transfer of Fafrbrother Ele-
mentary School from white to col
ored students. r
Both transfers were proposed
by DR.. Corning to relieve crowded

there was a strong feeling for
President Truman. But since the
Presidents announcement. Eisen-

Dewey is still powerful throughout
the State, and he's backing Eisen-

from Taft men. Out in the grass

By Inspector CoveII

The Police Department an
nounced today that six assistant
superintendents and the chief
clerk are investigating Senate
crime testimony involving police
men.
Inspector Howard V. Covell, who
made the announcement, said
that. in all probability. there

The wording of the announce

meaning.

Inspector Covell issued a re-
lease which stated in part:
"On April /. 1852, the major
and superintendent (Chief Robert
V. Murray designated six assist
amt superintendents and the chief
clerk as a committee to study all
of the testimony concerning men,
bers of the police department
given before the Senate District
Crime Committee investigating
crime in the District of Columbia.
"These officials were furnished
the testimony concerning all
members of the Police Department
who appeared before this COM
Imittee and it is being studied
with the view of making specific
recommendation for trial board
action"
Some of the policemen WHO
appeared" before the committee
were under attack. Some were
not. They hold many different
ranks and assignments.
Probe Witnesses Visited.
Maj. Murray, Inspector Covell
and Inspector Clarence H. Lutz
were among those who appeared
at public hearings. Primarily, they
were asked general questions about
administrative matters.

Sweep by Gen. Eisenhower in November
Predicted by Editors Meeting Here

It looks like an Eisenhower
sweep in the November presiden-
tial election, even in some parts
of the Deep South, unless a num-
ber of editors have misjudged
public sentiment in their sections
of the Nation.
For the Democrats, Senators
Russell and Kefauver hold the
lead, with Tennessee's Kefauver
keeping a firm grip on public
appeal.
A survey of editors, managing
editers and other newspaper Off
cials meeting here this week for
the sessions of the Associated
Press Managing Editors and the
American Societ. of Newspaper
Editors revealed the following
comment:
David Patten, managing editor,
Providence (R. H. Journal: Rhode
Island has been one of the few
solid Democratic States north of
the Mason-Dixon Line. Ike has
a lot of support here and could
carry the State on a Republican
ticket.
Senator Pastore's future is
somewhat in doubt. He may de-
eide to drop out of the Senate
and accept a place on the State
Supreme Court. Then McGrath
(former Attorney GeneraD may
get the Democratic Senatoria,
nomination.
Despite some opposition to Nc
Grath after he refused to accept

Mrs. Ann Yoder, wife of the

When he failed to appear by 6
pm, she drove to the garage. She

She said he added that he was

the man ran up the garage stairs
to the second floor, she saw the

George Healy, managing editor,
New Orleans Times-Picayune :
Eisenhower probably will carry
Louisiana like Hoover did in 1928.
That is. unless the Democrats
come up with somebody not di-
rectly associated with the Truman
Fair Deal. In a recent primary
here. the Fair Deal boys ran q
poor third. gsH%
For the Democrats. Senator
Russell seems to be the best
choice. Republicans in Louisiana
are outnumbered by Democrats
perhaps a 100 to / but Ike still
looks like the next President. The
people want a change.
The Republican Party is really
building up strength in Louisiana

Renah F.. Camalier, nominee for
District Commissioner, today was
asked his position on a variety OF
city affairs. He was willing to COM
ment on all but one-segregation
He pondered before he spoke
and his answers came slowly and
carefully. Here's what he had to
say:
Reorganization - "A thorough
study of the comparison between
the two plans budget Bureau
versus Commissioners as carried
in The Star is very persuasive in
favor of the Commissioners stand
I'd rather not be definitely COM
mitted at this time, but If the
Board of Commissioners is to act
in a concerted manner, the three
Commissioners ought to be able to
agree on this fundamental plan
one way or another. Press COM
ments indicate complete agree
ment between Engineer Commits
sioner Bernard L. Robinson and
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue"

rule all along. I haven't talked
about it because I haven't been
asked, and I don't 60 around
sticking my neck out. But for
years I have favored suffrage for
the people of the District"
The Federal payment on Dis
trict finances-"I favor the high
est contribution which will take
care of the equivalent that the
Federal Government would pay in
taxes for the use of property in
this city as do the residents here.
The present arrangement is very

Robinson Blasts
Budget Bureau
Plan for District
Commissioner Urges
Public to Speak Up
On Reorganization

Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robin
son. Engineer Commissioner. last
night accused the Budget Bureau
of trying to revamp the District
Government Gin a violent fashion. u
He called the bureaus plan fol-
council-manager government here
a burning issue" and he urged
a meeting of the Federation OF
Businessmen'S Associations to op-
pose it.
He told the group he under
stands President Truman. on
Tuesday, will adopt either the
bureau plan or one drawn up by
Gen. Robinson, keeping the pres
ent commission system.
"Our only hope in this thing
is the voice of the people of WASH
ington," Gen. Robinson asserted,
"and the people must make them
selves heard"
The plans, he said, once
adopted. could not be changed by
Congress. except by a hard-to-
get Constitutional majority. He
told the group he saw the pos
sibility of a Supreme Court test
on the bureau plan, if the Presi-
dent decides to adopt it and Con-
gresS does not veto it.
Gen. Robinson termed the
bureau plan mot yet complete
and with details unknown" He
said he was not honored" with
a copy of the Budget Bureau
plan until last Friday and that
was only a press release.
Gen. Robinson scored the coun-
cil-manager plan as unavoidable
in city the size of Washington,
which, he said, operates as a
city, county and State at the
same time. He stressed also the
unique" tie-in with the Federal
Government, especially in Civil
Service and fiscal matters, which
was not considered in the bureau
plan.
He contrasted the "rigid" form
OF the council-manager plan with
that of his own plan, calling for
the gradual realignment of the
city's 70-odd bureaus and COM
missions into a dozen depart
mentS and for formation of q
citizens advisory committee.
He scoffed at the idea that the
bureau plan would separate pol
tcy-making status in District af-
fairs, leaving administration to
local officials, as at present.
John L. C. Sullivan, president
of the federation, indignantly de-
manded to know why the bureau
plan had been $50 secret" and
"kept back to the 11th hour"
"It behooves every citizen OF
the District of Columbia to get
up on his hind legs and assert
himself"
The federation voted to send a
telegram to Mr.. Truman, detail
ing its opposition to the Budget
Bureau plan.
Later Gen. Robinson was joined
by Highway Director John N
Robertson in a discussion of the
city's plans for development OF
adequate highway and parking
facilities.
The association congratulated
Washington Attorney Renah F.
Camalier upon his appointment
yesterday to the Board of Com
missioners, succeeding John Rus

G. o. P. is going to make every
effort to assure a winner next

Senator Kefauver might win
some support because of his gooc
showing in other States. The

complicated things further.

Stanley P. Barnett, managing
editor, Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Ohio will be an even race between
Taft and Eisenhower as far as
general sentiment is concerned.
Taft has the backing of the State
organization, and his 1850 victory
in the Senate election augurs well
for him.
In general sentiment, Eisen-
hover has a considerable follow
ing. but Taft will win the dele
gates without any question.
I think Kefauver would have
much more popular appeal thar
Stevenson. Kefauver made a lot
of friends when he was holding
his crime hearings in Ohio.

Comoier Says Truman Gave
No Promise on Jobs Lenqth
Tells Of Accepting
Nomination as
Commissioner

Renah F..Camalier said fatty
today he had no commitment
from President Truman on wheth-
Ter his job as a District Commits
Isioner would last one month or
three years.
Mr.. Camalier was nominated by
President Truman yesterday to
succeed Commissioner John Rus
lsell Young. The nomination
comes up Tuesday at 3 pm. be-
fore the Senate District Commit
tee. He is expected to win swift
approval.
If the District reorganization
plan fathered by the Budget Bu-
reau were approved Mr.. Camalier
would take Office June / and
would be succeeded a month later
by city manager and city coun-
Icil. Under the reorganization
plan urged by the Commissioners.
the commission form of govern
ment would continue and Mr..
Camalier would have a three-year
job. President Truman has not
yet said which plan he favors.
No Commitment Given.
II didn't ask for a commitment
and I didn't get one," said Mr..
Camalier.
The President, he added, asked
him if he would accept and he
said he would. Mr.. Camalier
quoted the President as saying
then:
II want the city to have the
finest that can be given it. Go
down and do a good job. Good
luck"
From everything Mr.. Camalier
said, it seemed apparent a new
era of unanimity is coming to the
District Building. In the past
year, there have been several split
decisions with Mr.. Young on one
side and Gen. Bernard L. Robin
son and F. Joseph Donohue on the
other.
This will be the finest work.
ing team of Commissioners we
have had down there in years. -
said the Washington-born at
torney.
Close Ties With DOnOhue.
Aiding this unanimity is the
close friendship between Mr..
Camalier and Mr.. Donohue. The
latter campaigned for the CANA
lier appointment.
Once Mr.. Camalier is approved
and takes office. the Commission
ers will meet to elect a chairman
of the board and determine which
departments each will supervise.
1t is likely Commissioner Donohue
will become chairman and will
take over the Police and Fire De-
partments. Mr.. Camalier then
would supervise departments pre-
viously under Commissioner DON
ohue, including health and welfare
agencies.
AS Mr.. Camalier talked, the
telephone rang at less than s.
minute intervals. He wrote down
the names of the callers and
transcribed a telegram in short
hand on a pad at his elbow. The
doorbell chimed twice during the
interview. The first caller was

that every one you talk to thinks
the one chance of winning is
Eisenhower.
The Democrats are waiting tc

any Republican but Eisenhower
There is great unhappiness among
