Rockville Rofarians
Hear Of D. {. Woes
lin Donohue Talk

Commissioner r. Joseph Dono-
hue carried the District residents
tales Of woe into Montgomery
County yesterday and. at the same
time, urged support OF the regional
planning conference.
The Commissioner addressed the
Rockville Rotary Club in the
Methodist Church there. He was
introduced by County Manager
Irving G. McNayr.
Noting that it was good to mix
with Americans with the right to
vote, he added:
"The only resort offered us to
vote like real Americans is to be
annexed to the great State of
Maryland"
Finds People Ignorant.
Mr.. Donohue called the recent
conference of local government
heads in the Metropolitan Area
a move toward real regional So
luton of mutual problems.
Mr.. Donohue said that, since
he became q Commissioner, he
had spoken to some 500 groups
and was appalled, at the peoples
ignorance of their city govern
ment. He added their ignorance
is shared by many members Of
Congress.
The Commissioner lashed out
at Congress refusal to accept its
share of expenses of the District
Government. Noting that the
Federal Government pays less
than 8 per cent Of the Districts
costs, he said it should put up
between ~ and 80 per cent of
the present $145 million budget.
The rapidly increasing Negro
population here was tcalled the
Districts most acute problem by
the Commissioner. He said it in
creases the percentage of low in
come residents, who are unable
to pay heavy taxes.
Sees Colored Predominating.
Mr.. Donohue said invalidation
|of covenant agreements by the
Supreme Court put the. colored
population on the move. The
nearby areas have benefited by
this, since many white families
began to move out into the coun-
ties, he declared.
"The problem can not be solved
by keeping it quiet" the Com
missioner said. He added that,
by 1860. it is likely the colored
population will predominant in
the District.
Mr.. Donohue told the group the
segregated school system required
by Congress here costs the Dis
trict 81 million or So million more
than an integrated system would.

Congress gets preview Of the

for its first peek-probably till

All Of Congress-plus wives and

Sundays tour. But it's an exclu-

been sent a non-transferable card

then that the doors again will be
opened to tourists, White House
aides said.
Public Admission.
Before the renovation, the pres
idential mansion customarily was
open to sight-seers from 10 am. to
noon five days a week. The same
custom presumably will be revived,
spokesmen said.
The public always has been re-
stricted to the main floor. Con-
|gress, however, will get to see vir-
|tually the whole building, including
the second floor presidential liv-
ing quarters. Officials in charge
|of the reconstruction viii act as
guides. The legislators win be
allowed two hours, from 3 to 5
pm, to survey the executive
household.

won't see, however, is the new

McKellar is Chairman.
Gen. Edgarton, of course, will be

originally was in the group.
The Congress members will be
required to line up, just like the
public. They will enter through
the entrance off East Executive
avenue. They'll have to present
their admission cards to get in,
and no more than two will be
admitted for each card, according
to Gen. Edgerton.

The formation OF a Metropoli-
tan Development Council, made
|up Of Boards of Trade and Cham
|bers of Commerce in the Wash

by Thomas i. Groom, president
|of the Washington Trade Board.
Mr.. Groom made the announce
|ment at a luncheon meeting of
AREA business groups at the May
flower Hotel. The subject under
discussion was How Area Plan
ming Can Help Your Business"
Mr.. Groom said Trade Boards
land Chambers of Commerce have
been meeting informally for the
last decade.
These groups believe that the
time has arrived when this ar
Irangement should be put on q
more formal basis" he said. The
|present organization grew out of
la meeting of business groups held
three weeks ago, the luncheon
group was told.
Purposes Explained.
The purpose of the council,
1T was explained. would be to pro-
vide "a facility through which
information may be interchanged
and through which the business
organizations involved may be
better educated on problems of
the entire community" No action
|or Recommendation would come
from the council itself.
Among the area problems
which might be discussed by the
council, Mr.. Groom named hous-
ling. planning. dispersal of Fed
|eral agencies and major high
ways.
Follows Government Step
The formation of the business
council follows a similar step,
taken two weeks ago by Govern
ment leaders from the Washing

figures is being formed under the
leadership Of District Commits
sioner F. Joseph Donohue. Mr..

Corning Plans 10 Cut
Size of Glasses When
Teacher Ratio Rises
By Colt HendIey. Jr.

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
plans to reduce class sizes still
further in the city's public schools,
once enough teachers have been
obtained for the colored schools.
DR.. Corning, in his weekly press
conference yesterday, said the
present standards of the Board
of Education for class sizes are
"too high" The standards now
are SO pupils for each teacher in
the elementary schools, % in the
Junior highs and Is in the senior
highs.
He said the teacher positions
requested in the budget now be-
fore Congress would almost bring
the colored schools to the present
standard of pupil-teacher ratios.
DR.. Corning explained the stand
ard of SO pupils per teacher in
the elementary schools is deceiv-
ling. It is an average, he said,
and that means that many classes
have more than 36 pupils.
Would Specify Top.
In place of ratios, DR.. Corn
ing said he would favor placing an
arbitrary top on the size of classes.
This would be q much more sat-
Iisfactory regulation, he added.
The whole matter eventually
will be brought to the School
Board for decision. DR.. Corning
said, but he warned that the new
standards are some years of.
1--WE will not get to that until
we get teachers to meet the pres
ent standards" he declared. "The
attainment of new standards
would require a period of years.
1t also would require more teach
ers ard classroom space"
Concerning the proposed new
salary scale for teachers. DR.,
Corning said he feels higher sal
aries "are vital" He said Newark
has Just adopted a new salary
scale for teachers that started at
So. 400 and ended at $1,000.
Would Start at $500.
His proposal, now before the
School Board for consideration
recommends a starting salary Of
So, 900. rising to $500 with a
bachelors degree, to $1,000 with
a masters degree and to $6,400
with a masters degree and 80
extra credits. Teachers salaries
now start at $3.50 and stop at
SIS, ,313.
DR., Corning said he brought up
the Newark pay scale because
some people feel his proposed sal
aries are too high.
On Wednesday, the School
Board reversed itself and told DR..
Corning to forget about making
Ia study Of what could be saved II

lof the study during the past
month, he said a "great deal Of

Data Not EvaIuated.
He said much information had
been collected but had not beer
lcompiled or evaluated.
DR.. Corning said he would not
disregard the information collect
led, but he declared. II would be

President-elect Eisenhower may

This was the feeling in some
quarters today after Gen. Eisen-

At present, Mr.. Dodge is con-
flning himself to budget studies,
and Senator Lodge is occupied
principally with discussions with

In one administration quarter
the opinion was expressed that
Gen. Eisenhower might want to
cover the ground more fully, and
consequently would detail other
aides here to work with the ad-
Iministration. Presumably, how
ever, there was little more SUBJ
stantial than speculation on which
to base this conclusion.
No Indication of Cabinet.
It was said that there was moth

President was prepared to follow
some suggestions that he name his
cabinet quickly, in order that his
top men could get on the ground
without delay. to talk over matters
