Strike Against School
Ended by Pastor Who
Accepts New Transfer

The Rev. Smallwood Williams,
Icolored pastor of the Bible Way
Church. yesterday called OF his
|one-man strike against the dual
school system and enrolled his s.
|year-old son In the. Slowe Ele-
mentary School.
Last week Mr.. Williams arrived
lat the Wheatley Elementary
School, q white school, and an.
|nounced he and his son, Wallace,
were going to stay until the boy
was enrolled In class. The next
day. he was barred from sitting
in the class.
After series Of negotiations
with school officials, MIR. Williams
said he agreed to enroll his son
lat Slowe- School. about a mile
from his home at 1928 Montello
avenue NE. The Wheatley School
lis a block from his home.
The controversy began when
Mr.. Williams son was transferred
from the Young School to the
Crummell School in a series of
pupil shifts in the northeast area
schools to reduce class sizes. Mr..
Williams said he tried to enroll
his son at Wheatley because it
was the nearest his home.
He said he intended to file q
court suit to force the school off,
lcials to let his son attend the
white school. He added:
"I feel most strongly that it is
undemocratic. unfair and un-
American to deny my son or any
other American citizen right to
attend the nearest public school
to his residence, regardless Of his
race, color or religion. shall
continue to fight as vigorously
and as peaceably as possible by
other resources which are avail
able. The fundamental issue is
not a question of attending q
white school or q colored school
but rather a convenient school,"

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
will meet at 8 pm. Monday in St.
Lucilleis Zion Church, where the

protest brutality by members Of
the Metropolitan Police"
A spokesman for the group said
the Green case will be discussed
Don S. wilmer, civil rights
chairman of the Greater Wash
ington Area Council of the Ameri-
can Veterans Committee, also
registered a protest and demanded
an investigation by the Commits
Sioners.
5 Members Treated. n
Five members Of the Green
family were treated In Gallinger
Hospital for scalp cuts and other
injuries after a fracas at their
home at 5206 Bass place Sc. The
tussle began following a IRE al

Pvt. Leroy Espeut. 80. colored
Eof the l4th precinct, said he was
attacked by two men in the home

best retirement system in exist
|ence."
Mr.. Ramspeck and the commits
sion not only oppose using funds
from the retirement system to pay
for pension increases for retired
workers. but also oppose Congress
voting specific funds for the in
crease. This latter objection is
based on the contention that it
would be unfair to other aged
groups in the country.
Mr.. Ramspeck also reminded
|employes that in the Economy Act
|of 1888 when Federal salaries and
benefits were cut. the only thing
Congress did not reduce were an
Inuities being paid under the Civil
Service Retirement System. Mr..
lRamspeck said such a guarantee
Iof a fixed annuity for life upon
retirement of present employees
could no longer be given If present
funds in the retirement fund are
further depleted.
Draws Immediate Fire.
Mr.. Rampspeck's statement last
might drew immediate fire from
Iemploye organizations. Employe
Headers characterized it as a "di-
vide and conquer" technique and
charged the commission chief
sought to have present Federal
employees "sell their aged col
leagues down the river"
Employe groups charged last
week In testimony before q Sen
late Civil Service Subcommittee
holding hearings on retirement
Legislation that the commissions
latitude was heartless and cruel.
Furthermore, the employe lead
lers charged that the commissions
objection to using present retire.
tment funds was unSound. It was
argued that Congress never in
tended the civil service retirement
system to operate on q fully
funded basis. The need for the
retirement system to liquidate at
any one time and pay out all the
benefits will never arise, since
lii the United States Government
ever collapses there would be no
civil service retirement system. the
subcommittee was told.
At the conclusion of the hear
Iings. Senator Smathers, Demo-
crat, of Florida. predicted his
subcommittee would recommend
to the full committee a retire.

workers. The amount of the in

lation became law.
Enactment Of the measure
might mean the eventual de-
struction Of the present retire.
ment system" Mr.. Ramspeck de-
clared.
The commission chief issued q
financial statement designed to
show that the total due contribute
ling Federal employees for service
ALREADY rendered. $4. .709, ,437, ,OO0---
talready exceeds the total assets
of the retirement fund which are
$4, ,419.927.00O. Figures were also
presented showing that the re-
tirement fund deficit has In
Icreased $1.8 billion during the
past four years, and total lia-
bilities have increased over $3.7
billion during the same period.
| Danger Signal.
Mr.. Ramspeck told present
Federal employees:
"I invited your attention to
the financial statement attached
hereto. It shows what has hap
pened to your fund in the past
four years. It should be q danger
lsignal to you. You should stop.
look, and study before you favor
increasing the present deficit in
the fund.
Examine the financial state
ment carefully. It will show you
why the Civil Service Commis-
sioners. charged by law with ad-
ministering this system, sincerely
feel that it is not safe to further
burden the fund at this time. We
feel that to do so viii endanger
your future security.
First Such Statement.
"If. after studying these facts,
you agree, then advise your or
lganization leaders Of how you
feel. I am sure they do not wish
to support legislation endangering
your retirement. I think they have
mot known-and you have not
been advised--of these facts be-
cause no such financial statement
has been published before.
There is a growing danger, ih
my opinion, that you may lose the

Bullock May File Suit.
This Week 10 Force
Immediate Retirement.


Police Inspector Albert ]. Bull
lock may file suit in District Court
this week to try to force the Dis
trict Commissioners to grant his
request for immediate retirement.
His attorney, Charles E. Ford,
disclosed yesterday that he Is
weighing such maneuver and
said there is "a very good chance"
he viii launch it.
Inspector Bullock is entitled by
right to be retired now" Mr.. Ford
said. ITS a vested right he has
earned by putting in the required
25 years service and reaching the
age Of 55."
sPeriIs Of Pauline"
The lawyer wondered aloud
''how long can this retirement
thing be carried on-six months,
eight months? It's been going on
q month already.
''It's getting like the 'Perils of
Pauline chapter after chapter
like long serial" he said.
The present chapter of Mr..
Ford's serial" is due to conclude
Tuesday. At that time District
Court Judge James r. kirkland
will announce whether the Dis
trict Commissioners are entitled to
study the minutes of the grand
jury which indicted Inspector Bull
lock, two other police figures and
13 others last October % on gam
bling conspiracy charges.
Acquitted January 10.
Inspector Bullock was acquitted
January 90 on a directed verdict
by Judge Kirkland. He has been
on leave of absence since. The
other defendants in the case, in
cluding Charles e. Nelson. later
were convicted.
On February IL, Inspector Bull
lock became eligible for voluntary
retirement, having reached his
55th birthday on that date and
having served more than IS years
on the force.
His retirement application came
before the Commissioners on
February Is. The board, however.
decided to defer action on It'll
pending report of a special COM
mittee of the District Bar Asso-
citation. The committee earlier had
been named to recommend
whether the police official should
appear before the Police Trial
Board for possible disciplinary
action.
Want More Information.
It is with the idea of providing
this committee with further in-I
formation that the Commissioners
are seeking court release Of those
grand jury minutes pertaining tol
Inspector Bullock.
The committee, headed by At
torney Francis w. Hill, apparently
is treading water until Judge Kirk
land rules on the grand jury issue.
Mr.. Ford also revealed yester-
day, that Police Superintendent
Robert v. Murray had refused
Bullock's demand Thursday for
immediate retirement.
According to the lawyer, Maj.
Murray stated he will recommend
to the Commissioners tomorrow
that they reject the demand until
the.bar association committee has
decided whether disciplinary ac-
ton; against Inspector Bullock is
In order.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue said on his weekly broadcast
last night that he and his col
leagues will make sure that In
Bpector Bullock's rights will be
protected just as surely as is the
public interest.

Mr.. McGrath's absence, before

pected to return tuesday,
Members Of the group Said they
wanted to ask Mr.. McGrath about
several cases which were cited
when the Justice Department in
Iyestigation was authorized.
M Caudle's Name Mentioned.
Representative Killings, Repub-
lean, Of California, said some Of
them gave him a definite i'm
preston Of non-feasance" by de-
|partment officials. He also pre-
|dicted that "a very early" inquiry
would center around the service
and dismissal Of r. Lamar Caudle
AS a high Justice Department Of
|ficial.
The Californian also said he
has talked recently with Harold
|E. Stassen and Is convinced that
he has information which would
be Of value to the. committee.
This was a reference to sugges-
tions by Mr.. Stassen, q candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination, that the subcommit-
tee look into Mr.. McGrath's
sources Of income. The House
group already, has asked Mr..
Stassen to turn over any peril
nent information he has.
Wide Range Of Procedures.
Other questions which subcom-
mittee members said they want
to put to the Attorney General
cover q wide range Of procedures
followed by the Justice Depart
ment in handling cases.
Representative Bakewell, Repub-
lican. OF Missouri, said he expected
the Attorney Generals replies to
specific questions to show "just
how cooperative they're going to
be over there"
Mr.. Killings and Representative
Keating, Republican, Of New York
charged Mr.. .Truman's directive
was an indication that the sub
committee could expect no CO.
operation from the White House
In the inquiry.
However. Representative Ram
