Corning Asks Building
OF More Schools Near
New Housing Projects

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
yesterday advocated "some kind
of public control" so that provi-
sion for public school facilities
would go along with large new
housing developments.
DR.. Corning told the monthly
meeting Of the American Associa-
tion of University Women's Wash
ington Branch that most of the
overcrowding in schools here
comes in hitherto undeveloped
areas where large housing devel-
opments have taken place.
Washington's shortage of teach
ers and buildings is partly due to
a tremendous birth-rate increase
and a growing population, he
said.
The rapidly changing ratio be-
tween the white and colored
school population also was cited
as contributing to the Districts
problems, according to the schools
head. There now are 5000 more
Negro than white children, he
said, where three years ago the
division was equal.
DR.. Corning said that organized
citizenry is not vocal enough
about it's interests. Citizens should
go to public hearings of the
School Board. the Commissioners
and Congress. he said. He sug-.
gested campaigns to reduce the
number of children per classroom.
now averaging SO pupils to a
teacher.
He also presented a challenge
to plan for the future beyond the
present needs of the schools.
The meeting was held at l785
Massachusetts, avenue NV.

BY the As.oeiosed Pres.

Miriam de Haas, former en-
ploye of the Governments Loyalty
Review Board. says she has given
out information concerning the
infiltration Of Communists into
the Government" She said she
has seen to it" that the infor-
nation reached Senator Nc
Carthy. Republican. of Wisconsin.
A letter from Miss de Haas, ad-
dressed Ito my dear fellow Ameri-
cans" was published as q paid ad-
vertisement in Sundays Washing
ton Times-H Herald. 1t said:
II did not know Senator Nc
Carthy, he had no reason to know
the source of his information, and
he is, Of course, unaware that /
am making this statement.
"The evidence he has passed on
to you has never been successfully
controverted, and could not be.
because the information I sup
piled was specific, concrete, cor
rect and devastatingly true infor-
nation from sources described by
our Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton as reliable.
From my reading of his Senate
speeches and other statements I
know that his repetition of that
information has been accurate and
exact. What has been conveyed
to the public has, moreover, only
scratched the surface of evidence
of communism In our Govern
ment."
Suspended in September.
Miss de Haas was suspended
September ( as an examiner for
the Loyalty Review Board. Her
suspension was on suspicion of
leaking confidential information.
On October "a, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission gave her notice
of proposed dismissal, meaning
she would be dismissed unless she
could show cause why she should
not be.
She had until November 6 to
reply to this notice. However,
Miss de Haas told a reporter to-
day she had sent the commission
a letter Of resignation, effective
as of last Friday.
Miss de Haas is So years old and
a lawyer. Her job with the 10y
atty Review Board paid $1,000 a
year. Her duties comprised an
alyzing and evaluating evidence
relating to the loyalty of Federal
employees. She had been with the

Since it appeared, she said, she
has had numerous telephone calls
from "one good. kind patriot after

Asked whether she had heard
ANY word from Senator Mccarthy,
Miss de Haas said she had not.
AT the time she was suspended,
Senator Mccarthy said Miss de
Haas positively gave me no in
formation" and added the COM
ment that the Civil Service Com
mission has hanged the wrong

The letter Miss de Haas pub

The Justice Department de-
cllned any comment on her letter
except to note that grand Jury

His attitude seems to be that of
a man who has come through a
great ordeal and who feels that
whatever happens now he has
done his best.
1t is an attitude that came
through clearly in the course of
Gov. Stevenson's speech last night
when he told the Nation: ". j.. Win
or lose, if I have kept faith with
myself during the campaign, then
I can await tomorrow in good
temper and sober contentment."
The Halliday greeting, however
was a mild warmup to the celebra-
tion that is being planned for to-
night in Springfield.
1t isn't easy to plan parties for
election nights. There is always
the possibility that the victory
party may turn out to be a wake
and the gala touches lend a spe-

Election as He Votes EarIy
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Former
President Herbert Hoover was an
early voter today, but refused to
predict the outcome Of the presi-
Dental election.
The last Republican President,
voting a few minutes after the
polls opened. told newsmen:
It'd like to be able to predict
the outcome but I better not. I
have hopes, but not a prediction.
My hopes lie with Eisenhower"

freedom does not fight only along
the line of the bloody 38th
Parallel" the general said, "but
along the lines that everywhere,
through all the world, divide good
and evil, truth and falsehood, con-
science and compromise.
In his final speech Gen. EiSen-
hover also reaffirmed his inten-
ton to go to Korea, despite the
|anguished walls of political parti-
sans" If he is elected.
On his arrival in Boston yester-
day Gen. Eisenhower also took
occasion in a Jewish neighborhood
to charge again that the opposi-
ton had accused him of bigotry.
He said when it did it they finally
went too far, because had some
wonderful friends who jumped
into this breach" He referred to
Cardinal Spellman, Rabbi Abba
Hillel Silver and Bernard M.
Baruch.
At the Commodore Hotel to-
might Gen. and Mrs. Eisenhower
will occupy a suite on the third
floor. while party leaders and New
York campaign workers assemble
in the main ballroom to watch the
returns on a huge scoreboard.
In a smaller adjoining ballroom
the reporters covering Gen. Eisen-
hover will have separate facilities
for keeping up with the returns.
Other rooms will be available for
the several radio and television
networks.
If the results are conclusive dur
ing the night Gen. Eisenhower is
expected to come down and ad-
dress the campaign workers.
Should the voting be as heavy as
registration figures indicate and
the outcome as close as most polls
suggest, the decision may not be
known tonight.
Nixon on Final Program.
Senator Nixon, the Republican
vice presidential nominee, few to
Boston from California to be on
the final program with Gen.

Senator Nixon told the Boston
Garden crowd that a vote for
Stevenson is a vote for Truman. /"
The California Senator said Gov.
Stevenson told the Illinois delega-
ton to the Democratic conven-
ton last summer that he did not
feel "temperamentally and physi-
cally" qualified to be President.
"And it was right then that
Harry Truman said that's my
man." Senator Nixon added.
