School Bui|dinq
Cutbacks Differ
By S6.2 Million
Board of Education
Gets Comparison of
Revised Estimates
By jones 6. Deone

School officials and a special
Commissioners Advisory Commit
tee are only $6.225.000 apart on
proposals for slashing a six-year
school construction program. Supt.
Hobart M. Corning said today.
DR.. Corning disclosed he has cut
his own estimate by over $23 mil
lion. The advisory group last week
urged cutback of $50 million.
The superintendent submitted a
comparison of the two building
programs to the Board of Educa-
ton today. Both scale down an
original estimate of $71 million,
but differ on individual projects.
School Transfer Studied.
Projects now under considera-
ton by school officials would cost
a total of $47,846, 900. DR.. Corning
said. Those proposed by the ad-
visory committee would cost SAL
621 900, he said.
The superintendent revealed he
is considering at least one possible
elementary school transfer from
white to Negro pupils not previ-
ously publicized. This would be a
school near the present Lovejoy
School, Twelfth and D streets NE.
and Payne School, Fifteenth and
c streets Sc.
The second year Of the build
ing program includes a new
$1,060,000 colored school in the
Payne area, and the fifth year
includes a $625,000 addition to
Lovejoy. Transfer of a nearby
school is listed as a substitute for
each in DR.. Corning's revised pro-
gram, although the advisory COM
mittee approved the new con-
struction.
The nearest white schools in
the neighborhood are Edmonds
and Peabody. DR.. Corning de-
clined to name any school. how
ever.
Drop Junior High Plan.
DR.. Corning's list showed school
officials agree with the Advisory
Committees proposal to drop a
proposed So million colored Junior
high in the north central area.
The superintendent said it could
be eliminated by conversion.
The superintendent previously
has stated the present Armstrong
High School or Wilson or Miner
Teachers College or all three
might accommodate junior high
pupils if those three schools
transferred.
He is proposing to move
Armstrong to Mckinley High.
Wilson to Western High and
Miner to Langley Junior High.
The committee opposed any
moves for the teachers colleges
for the present. however.
Administration Building Retained.
DR.. Corning's program still
shows a new ,125,000 admins
tration building, a replacement OF
Hine Junior High, stadium i'm
provements at Dunbar High. site
for a white grade school near
South Capitol and Danbury streets
and a new Amidon School. The
committee omitted all from its
six-year program.
The superintendent said no ef-
fort has been made yet to mesh
the two programs. The school
board eventually must decide on
individual projects.
DR.. Corning said 81. .250, 900 must
be added to the total proposed by
the Advisory Committee to cover
costs of converting Mckinley
High School to Negro use and con-
version Of Western High to an ad-
miniStrative building, as proposed
by the committee. School officials
also found the committees figures
added up to bigger total than
that previously announced. The
published figure was $40,306, 900.

However, Mattiford warned that
lack of scrap can still seriously
hurt the defense program. Said he,
THE need for scrap is still so ur-

in urging the farmers to continue
collecting all scrap and getting it
