Drowning Revives v
Roseda|e Playground
Segregation Fight

Colored residents of the Rose
dale Playground area have re-
newed their efforts to open the
playground at Seventeenth and
Rosedale streets NE. to the use Of
colored children.
A group Of Negro children today
|picketed the entrance to the play
ground for about half an hour
around noon. They carried such
signs as I'VE Want to Use This
|Tax-Supported Playground" and
l"Our Children Need a Safe Place
to Play, Too"
This latest effort is q direct re-
suit of the drowning Of Kenneth
Carroll, 13. colored. in an after
hours swim at the Fairgrounds
pool Sunday night.
At a meeting of the Citizens
Committee to Integrate Rosedale
Playground. held in the Pilgrim
A. M. E. Church. the group took
three actions with respect to the
playground.
It drew a protest petition to the
District Recreation Board charg-
ing that the boards refusal to al
low all the children Of the neigh
borhood to use the pool legally
under supervision resulted in q
temptation for them to use 1t IL
legally. It further stated that this
situation contributed to the death
of the Carroll boy.
Also it urged colored mothers
to take their children to the play
ground and use it despite its status
as a white playground, but to
remain orderly while doing so.
Finally it called for mass at
tendance at the Recreation
Boards budget meeting tonight
to demand facilities to accommo-
date colored children at the play
ground.
Colored residents of the area
have been trying for years to have
the playground made available for
the use of colored children. A
committee of the Recreation
Board is now considering the
proposal.

Acheson Conferrinq
With Eden in London
On Common Strategy
By the Assoeiaied Press

LONDON. June 24.-Secretary
of State Aclleson and British For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden met
today to map Joint strategy along
a globe-girdling anti-communist
front stretching from Germany's
Elbe to Korea's Yalu River.
Mr.. Acheson few to London yes
terday to receive an honorary de-
gree from oxford University and
and to talk with his West Euro
pean colleagues. Their periodic
meetings are designed to oil the
wheels of foreign policy co-opera-
ton and give the West united
answers to any Soviet moves in
the cold war.
Mr.. Acheson's conversations
with Mr.. Eden were expected to
range along the whole anti-ag-
gression frontier. from West Eu-
rope through the Middle East to
the far Orient. French Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman will
join the discussions here Friday.
Seeing Churchill Today.
Mr.. Acheson's schedule also in
cluded luncheon meeting with
Prime Minister Churchill today.
There is plenty to talk about.
In Western Europe the foreign
ministers are pushing for speedy
rearming Of West Germany. The
Communists on both sides Of the
Iron Curtain are fighting bitterly
to prevent the necessary parlia-
mentary approvals. There are
widespread fears that Red
threats to West Germany and
pressure on West Berlin will cul-
inmate in another blockade of
that Communist-surrounded me-
tropolis.
Mr.. Eden also was expected to
stress Britain's current headaches
in the Middle East, where anti
British sentiment long has been
q big barrier to putting the Arab
states actively in the Western
camp.
Turning Points Believed Near.
Major turning points are ex-
pected soon in Britain's relations
with Egypt, which have shown
signs Of improving recently, and
those with Iran. which have not.
Hoped-for agreements with
Egypt in the disputes over British
troops there and the status of the
contested Sudan would clear the
way for new international de-
tense arrangement for the Suez
Canal. But in Iran crisis threats
are mounting as the country, en-
broiled in her oil quarrel with
Britain, nears bankruptcy.

ing isolationism as "the counsel

Gen. Eisenhower hit hard at the
Stupid and myopic" doctrine of

Gen. Eisenhower, who did not
mention Senator Taft by name in
the television speech, has referred
to him in the past as an isola-
zionist.
Here is what the general had to
say about isolationists:
Those who assert that America
can live safely within its own
borders; those who seem to think
that we have little or no stake In
the rest Of the world and what
happens to it; those who act as
though we had no need for friends
to share In the defense Of free

"They are no friends Of Amer

interest. It is the counsel o1
