Segregation Forecast
For Eisenhower

District Commissioner F. joseph
IDonohue last night predicted that
President-elect Eisenhower will be
able to get the approval of Con-
Igress for ending segregation In
the District.
Mr.. Donohue told a television
audience Gen. Eisenhower would
have enough support from Con-
.gress. which would give him an
overwhelming response President
Truman did not get"
Appearing on the "Commis-
sioners Report" over WMAL-
ITV, The Stars television station,
the Commissioner said the Presi-
dent could end segregation in the
District by an executive order.
Issue Before Supreme Court.
President Eisenhower has the
admiration and respect of the new
Congress- Mr.. Donohue COM
mented. II believe a request to
END segregation would meet with
its approval"
The city head also expressed
hope that the Supreme Court
would find segregation in the Dis
Itrict unconstitutional. The issue
is being argued in Supreme Court
this week.
Mr.. Donohue emphasized that
the change would not be as "revo-
lutlonary as people fear" He
pointed out that many private and
parochial schools now operate on
an integrated system.
See Prejudice Fading.
1T is in the early life that pref
'udices are formed" the Commits
sloner said. When the integration
is in effect for time, he asserted,
they would be dissipated."
Commissioner Donohue also said
he would be in favor of plebiscite
in the District to be used as a guide
by the President in selecting Dis
trict Commissioners.

City Heads May Get
Authority 10 Call Out
Guard in Emergency

Plans to give the Commission
ers authority to call out the Dis
trict National Guard in emergen-
cles. even to help clear streets dur
ing heavy snowstorm, are under
way.
The city heads today received
from the Budget Bureau the draft
o ia proposed Executive order, un-
of a proposed Executive order, un-
would delegate to the Commits
sioners the authority to call out
the Guard. The Budget Bureau
asked for the Commissioners
views on the proposal.
Proposed Order.
The draft of the proposed order
stated:
THE commanding general of
the District National Guard is
authorized and directed to order
the District National Guard, both
Army and Air. or so much thereof
as in his discretion may be re-
quired to emergency duty in the
District when so requested by the
Board of Commissioners of the
District; or when necessary in
his opinion for emergency duty
therein"
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robin
son, the Engineer Commissioner,
objected to the part of the pro-
posed order which gave the Ma.
tional Guard commander power to
decide when to call out the guard.
Objection Explained.
Gen. Robinson pointed out that
the President is the only one who
can call out the National Guard
but that he could delegate the
power. Gen. Robinson had no
objection to the Commissioners
having the power but baked at
giving the commanding general
Of the National Guard freedom
to declare martial law whenever
he thought it necessary.
The city heads sent back a re-
port to the Budget Bureau that
they liked the proposal but agreed
with Gen. Robinson's point.
Commissioner Renah F. CAM
alier pointed out that Traffic Di-
rector George E. Keneipp some
time ago suggested the possible
use of the National Guard in
case of a heavy snowstorm that
may disrupt traffic.

work for Federal career employees
Instead of having six per cent
deducted from their salaries. their
pay would be adjusted downward
slightly (although not as much as
6 per cent? and the Government
would use a certain portion OF
Federal salary payments tor re-
tirement purposes.
Mr.. Wilson feels the savings in
bookkeeping and clerical work and
in eliminating complicated record
and filing work would be enor-
nous. In this way, the actual
portion of Federal employe con-
tributions toward their retirement
benefits would come to much less
than 6 per cent. he feels.
This proposal will be presented
to the special retirement commit
tee which was set up by the 82nd
Congress and will report to the
new 83rd Congress by December
81, 1858, on what changes it rec
ommends in the civil service re-
tirement system.
| Mr.. Wilson also feels the bene-
fits of Federal employees already
retired should be pegged to SAL
aries of present Government
workers and should be adjusted
upward whenever Federal salaries
are raised. He also favors tax
exempt annuities.
He opposes a merger of the
civil service retirement system
with social security. but he feels
lit would be acceptable If social
security were provided as a sup
Elemental benefit.
Also, Mr.. Wilson feels the civil
service retirement system is in
pretty good shape. although he
urges that Congress each year
should make an appropriation
equal to the contributions made
by the employees.
