Give Equal Schooling
To Deaf Negro Pupils

District Court Judge David A
Pine ruled yesterday that District
authorities must provide educa-
tional facilities within the District
for Negro deaf children as long
as they provide such facilities fol
white children.
Judge Pine added that it is not
a matter for him to decide just
how the facilities are to be pro-
vided. He held that:
". to maintain the legality
of the separation of the races. il
is the duty of the District to pro-
vide equal educational facilities
within the District for deaf chill
dren Of both races, if it provides
for any therein"
Judge Pines ruling was made
in connection with a suit brought
last February in behalf of six
young Negro deaf children. The
complaint, however. was in the
form Of a class suit. About 20
Negro children were involved,

suit was filed.
The suit asked that the District
authorities be compelled to edu-
cate the Negro children at the
Columbia Institution for the Deaf,
where white deaf children are
educated. Negro deaf children
have been sent to Overlea. Md.
At the time of the filing of
the suit, counsel for plaintiffs ex-
planned that the main object was
to force District authorities to-
educate the Negro deaf children
within the District.
While declaring it was not for
him to decide how the education
Of the Negro children in the Dis

Senate Includes

Denied, Civil Defense
Cut to 100000

The Senate has voted $1.2 mil.
lion to plan a larger sewer system
in Rock Greek. Park. Overflow o1
the system there has forced clos
ing Of many picnic grounds.
The item was approved by the
Senate among several District
estimates in the last supplemental
appropriation bill, as Congress
rushed toward adjournment. The
measure went back to the House
and will go to conference.
The Senate included the sewer
planning money as an addition to
other local funds already approved
by the House in the budget bill.
The Senate made no changes in
the House-passed figures for
Washington.
A budget request for $10O, 900
for reorganization of the District
government was denied by both
House and Senate.
The Senate bill carries $2,115,-
366 chargeable to the District
budget.
Only 100000 for CD.
Both House and Senate sharply
Slashed funds for District Civil
Defense. Only 100000 was
granted out of the $725,000 re-
quested.
This brought strong protest
