A new civil rights bill which

This group would have author
Iity to write rules forbidding dis
elimination in hiring or other
employment problems for reasons
of race, religion or national origin.
It would apply to industries in
interstate commerce which en-

While the commission itself

City Heads Abandon
Proposal for Sale Of
Brown School Tract
Unexplained Decision
Follows Legal Memo by
Corporation Counsel
The District Commissioners to-

The District Commissioners to-
day decided fatty to take NO
action in disposing of the old E. "
Brown School property at this
time.
Occasion for their decision was
the filing of a legal memorandum
on the subject by Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West.
Mr.. West concluded that there
would be no legal snarl for the
District if it were to sell the front
part of the property not covered
by a covenant restricting its use
to residential purposes. The cor
poration counsel pointed out, how
ever, that the rear portion of the
property is covered by the cov-
enant and would be binding on
the parties purchasing it.
The city heads also released an
18-month-old heretofore confiden-
tial report on the Brown School
prepared by Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler.
Extensive Background Data.
Both reports go extensively into
the background Of the school prop
erty. When it became known that
there was talk of sale and devel-
opment for commercial or apart
ment purposes, friends of the rec
reation center and public library
went to its defense.
AS revealed earlier, the Fowler
report recommended that the Dis
trict sell the front portion. at Con-
necticut avenue and Mckinley
street NV.
Mr.. Fowler said the tax revenue
which would be derived by the city
should the property be sold to pri-
vate developers would be consider
able. In 1850 the land and bull
ing had a total assessed valuation
of $220.7l2. whereas the CONNER
cial property just across Connecti-
cut avenue was assessed at more
than $454,000.

Imports Help Reduce Deficit.
A 165-page report on a survey
said the difference between what
this country sells abroad and what
it buys has been cut almost in
half in the last five years. 1t
said Americas imports helped
foreign countries to reduce their
deficit with the United States
from yearly average of S8.6 bill
lion in 1946-1948 to S4.6 billion
in 1949-195l.
This was summed up in a
single-page diagram that showed
for the whole period of three
years:
Foreign countries spent in the
United States S52.2 billion.
That was paid for by:
United States imports of goods
and services. 1868 billion.
United States Government aid
$14.7 billion.
Private United States capital,
remittances, and money put out
by the World Bank and monetary
