McFarIandGives
Home RuIeb Bill
First Priority
Mujority Leader
Predicts Senate
Will Pass Measure

Senate Majority Leader McFar-
land has given new hope to the
Washington home rule bill.
AT a news conference yesterday,
he assigned first priority to the
measure for an elected local gov
|ernment, which still would be sub
|ject to all forms of congressional
legislation.
Senator Mcfarland told re-
Iporters he believes the Senate will
pass the bill. but he added he did
mot know what the House will do
with the bill, if the Senate passes
1T.
A similar bill was passed by the
Senate in 1949 but died later in
the House. The House District
Committee leaders apparently still
are as opposed to Washington
home rule as they were in 1949.
The pending bill in the Senate
is a compromise. substituted for
the earlier Kefauver- Taft bill
backed by a bipartisan group of
|22 Senators.
It drops city government reor-
ganization from the bill, leaving
that to separate actions or later
bills, and makes some other major
changes in the city suffrage plan.
Major provisions of the pending
bill call for an elected council of
is members, elected by wards; an
elected school board of five mem
bers and an elected but ,non-vot-
ling District delegate in the House.
Instead of city manager plan
incorporated in the earlier home
rule bills, the pending measure
would have the President name a
Washington Mayor, subject to
Senate confirmation.

Professor CHALLENGES
Boards Figures on
Negro Teacher Needs

The official Board of Education
figures on teacher needs in the
colored schools were challenged
last night by a Howard Univer-
sity education professor.
DR.. Ellis o. Knox, member OF
the Strayer Committee which in
vestigated school conditions here
some years ago, told the Fedora
ton of Civic Association that tc
maintain an equal status with the
white schools, about 460 colored
teachers must be added.
The school board, he said, plans
to\ask for a supplemental ap-
preparation to hire 66 such
teachers.
The boards figures are based on
standards of pupil-teacher ratio
he said, and the white schools
because of dropping enrolment
are actually in a better position
than the standards call for.
Attorney Furnished Figures.
The 460 total was given DR.
Knox by an attorney who is work
ing on court cases trying to break
down the segregated school system
and is based on dispositions anc
surveys made by the lawyer, he
added. He believes it is much
closer to the true picture than the
boards estimate. Z,
He emphasized that he does not
want to take any educational op-
portunity away from white chill
dren and that the civic group
should strive for complete CO.
operation and mutual respect
with the Board of Education. But
he deplored ''inequities and in
adequacies" in the present colored
schools.
The Federation asked that a de-
tailed report be made by the edu-
cation committee, of which DR.
Knox is chairman.
Hospital Probe Asked.
On the motion of Dutton Fer
guson, president of the Midway
Civic Association, the Federation's
health and sanitation committee
was asked to investigate condi-
tions in hospitals treating colored
patients here, with special en-
phasis in st. Elizabeths. Mr.. Fer
guson said that bad reports on
that institution had reached him
as far away as New York.
In response to a letter from DR..
j. Ross Veal. president of the Fed
ration of Citizens Associations,
the colored group instructed its
president, John B. Duncan, to see
if a liaison can be set up between
the two federations.
DR.. Veal had written that the
groups should work together
where our interests coincide"
The meeting was held in the
District Building board rooms.

It was to one of his old professors, Ally Maher,
