Court Issues Warrant
As CoWart Misses
Arraignment Here

Judge F. Dickinson Let's to-
day issued a bench warrant for
the arrest of Jack Cowart when
the former Department of Agri-
culture official failed to appear
in Federal Court for arraign-
ment.
Cowart, a former assistant pro-
duction marketing administrator
was named in a sealed indict-
ment returned on October a.
The true bill, alleging that
Cowart lied in denying he had
an interest in Baton Rouge
Oa0 warehouse while he was
employed at Agriculture. was un-
sealed a week ago.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
Cowart had been arrested in
Dallas. Tex, and was freed on
$4,000 bail. He was not present
when his case was called here
this morning.
The Government charges Cow
art with denying to Agriculture
Department investigators that
he. his wife or his son. had an
interest in the Baton Rouge
Warehouse Co., Inc.
At a recent trial in Alexandria
Federal Court, Cowart was ac-
quilted of a charge that he and
members of his family actually
possessed $26,325 in warehouse
stock.
Cowart recently completed
serving 18 months for denying
to Government investigators he
received $1,100 from a pre-
fabricated housing firm.

Board Member Asks
Merger Of Mckinley
And Armstrong Highs

Merger of Mckinley and Arm
strong High Schools by next
February has been proposed by
a Board of Education member.
Mrs. Margaret j. Butcher told
her colleagues yesterday Arm
strong's colored pupils ought to
be moved to McKinley-a white
school-on February /.
She asserted underpopulated
Mckinley is big enough to give
both groups of students plenty
of space to rattle around in"
without ending racial segrega-
tion.
You'd really be segregated"
she asserted. ....
The alternative, Mrs. Butcher
declared, is to seek immediate
financial aid from Congress to
give Armstrong students "a de-
cent education" She charged
that the education they are get
ting now is "third-rate."
Criticizes Colleagues.
Mrs. Butcher. an outspoken
segregation opponent, recently
has been severely critical of
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
about what she has branded as
unequal school facilities for Dis
trict Negroes.
Yesterday she extended her
criticism to include her col
leagues, whom she accused of not
doing enough to correct made
quate conditions. She described
the board as "a very reactionary
group"
Mrs. Butchers criticisms yes
terday were inspired by a reply
by DR.. Corning to a letter from
parents complaining about Arm
strong laboratory equipment.
Aware of Needs.
DR.. Corning said he agreed the
school should be replaced. He
pointed out that past efforts to
get money for a new building
have been unsuccessful, how
ever. He listed a number of i'm
provementS that have been made
in laboratories recently.
The superintendent, while he
did not reply directly to Mrs.
Butchers proposal for housing
both white and colored students
in Mckinley, said that moving
Armstrong pupils there would re-
quire providing for Mckinley
students elsewhere. This, he
added, couldn't be done without
an appropriation from Congress
to buy new equipment.
School officials, for some time,
have had in mind a possible
merger of Armstrong and Nc
Kinley in the event the Supreme
Court orders the end of school
race segregation.

By Miriom Ottenbero

Paul R. Cheney, lent to the
Commissioners Youth Council
to organize its pilot project for
the prevention of juvenile delin-
quency, set out today to learn
something about the juvenile
problems of old Northeast by
talking to the children who have
gotten into trouble, and also to
their parents.
The council yesterday chose
the lower Northeast section be-
tween Union Station and the
AnacoStia River as a typical
area to start its preventive work.
This area will get professional
help from United Community
Services. The other Is areas
into which the city has been
divided will be operated solely
by volunteers. using the tech
niqueS developed in the pilot
project.
The areas have been lettered
and the pilot project will be
known as "Area p"
Mr.. Cherney said his visit to
Area P" today will have two
goals-to find in specific terms
what the juvenile problems in
the area are, and to locate the
individuals looked on by the rest
of the area as their leaders.
BY talking to children known
to police and their parents. Mr..
Cherney explained. he hopes to
find out whether the home, the
school, lack of recreation. the
influence of a gang or some other
cause, was responsible for their
individual behavior. He looked
to ninth precinct police to sug-
gest the names of some children
he could visit.
BY talking 70 individuals and
groups in the area. Mr.. Cherney
hopes to get list of neighbor-
hood leaders to serve on the area
committee.
The area committee in "Area
P" and in the Is other areas
will be organized in much the
same way. They will match as
far as possible the wide repre-
sentation on the 15-member
Youth Council.

Masked Bandit Gets
$1,000 in Ho|dup al
Finance Company

A small masked gunman, who
took his time about his work,
held up and robbed two Silver
Spring finance company officials
of more than 1000 last night as
they were closing their office.
Montgomery County police said
the bandit got about 1898 in bills
and silver from the safe of the
Allied Finance Corp, 8025
Georgia avenue. He took an
other $130 from the billfold OF
a manager. Robert D. Jones, Al,
of 2029 Hanover street, Silver
Spring.
After looting the safe. the
bandit left Mr.. Jones and Luther
A. Wampler. 80, the Office COL
lection manager, bound hand
and foot with coathangers and a
television wire.
Was Hiding in Auto.
Mr.. Jones said he and Mr..
Wampler left the office about
$50 pm and got in the latter's
car on a parking area beside the
building. He said a man raised
up from the rear floor and said.
1--we got you covered and I want
that paper"
Mr.. Jones said the man posed
as a disgruntled customer want
ing a note he had signed.
Mr.. Jones said the man told
them to keep their heads down
at all times and once when the
manager turned around in the
car he said: Hold it, you. This
is no water pistci-I'll blow your
brains out"
The bandit also took Mr.. Jones
billfold and glasses.
Went Back to Office.
The bandit then made them
re-enter the Office. He bound Mr..
Wampler in the rear room and
forced Mr.. Jones to open the Of
flee safe. Mr.. Jones said the
bandit was there for nearly an
hour and after putting the safe
loot in a cardboard box. tied him
up in the rear room with Mr..
Wampler.
"He was kind and considerate, "
Mr.. Jones said.
He said the bandit asked them
if they wanted a coat thrown
over them. and told them they'd
be able to wiggle free in a few
minutes but by then he'd be
miles away.
The two men were freed a few
minutes later by the Office jani-
tor, Barnes A. Brown, of ITO c
street Sc, who entered the Office
to clean up.
Mr.. Jones said the man was
about 5 feet 4 inches tall, wore a
gray felt hat and a white hand

he was well acquainted with the
Office layout and knew which car
belonged to the collection man.

Hearing Slated
On KeniIworth
School Shift
Would Help Relieve
Crowding at Carver,
Corning Tells Bourd
BY jones 6. Deone


Proposed transfer of the Kenil-
worth Elementary School to
colored use will be aired at a
public hearing next month.
School Supt. Hobart M.
Corning recommended the trans
fer to the Buildings and Grounds
Committee of the Board of Edu-
cation yesterday. The hearing
will be held before the commit
tee at its next meeting on De-
cember 10.
DR.. Corning reported Kenil-
worth. on Forty-fourth street
near Ord street NE, now has
only "a white pupils. But 1876
colored children now living in
the neighborhood must travel to
the Carver School, crossing a
bridge and heavily travelled
Benning road to get there.
The white youngsters would
have to do the same to attend
Benning, but there are fewer of
them. DR.. Corning said. Besides
Carver needs relief from crowd
ing, the superintendent said.
February Considered.
DR.. Corning proposed making
the transfer next July l. Board
Member West A. Hamilton urged
carrying it out in February, in
stead, and DR.. Corning agreed to
consider the earlier date.
The superintendent pointed
out, however, that he suggested
waiting until July because of
the possibility, that the Supreme
Court may decide pending school
segregation cases before then and
order schools integrated, thus
making a transfer unnecessary.
Mrs. Woodrow Van Horn, Ken
ilworth PTA president, informed
about the recommendation, said
she hopes no transfer will be
made before July. She said par
entS will take up the matter at
meeting next Thursday.
Defends Action at Logan.
On another subject, DR.. Corn
ing yesterday defended the ac-
ton of an associate superintend-
end in ousting a Recreation De-
partment pre-school play CEN
ter from Logan Elementary
School because a fourth grade
needed the space.
Mrs. Alice c. Hunter, Recre-
alton Board secretary, criticized
the Logan action Tuesday. DIR.
Corning, however. said there was
no other way to provide for the
fourth-graders. He denied that
the schools library or an office
could have been used, AS sug-
gested by Mrs. Hunter. The IL
brary, he asserted, is too small
to be used for any kind of class
room and he said the Office is
needed as it is.
Miss Edith A. Lyons, the as
sociate superintendent who or
dered the custer. announced that
a class at Richardson School
probably also will supplant a
pre-School recreation group next
Monday.
Conference Monday.
DR.. Corning assured board
members, despite these cases,
that there is no particular con-
f1ict with recreation officials on
the subject. He reported he has
a conference scheduled for Mon
day with Recreation Supt. Milo
F. Christensen, however.
A request for a $1,617,500 sup
Elemental appropriation to pay
for teacher salary increases
authorized recently by Congress
was approved by the Finance
Committee.
DR.. Corning disclosed that
school officers are working on
plans to introduce graduate
courses at Wilson and Miner
Teachers Colleges. He said he
does not know whether a full
fifth year-and a masters de-
gree-could be added at the be-
ginning, however.

been active in a constructive
way. and that parents have been
encouraged to work with the
schools.
Meanwhile, School Supt. Ho-
bart M. Corning expressed hope
that the Commissioners Youth
Council would consider a need
for augmenting budgets to pro-
vide additional services in the
schools.
He cited needs for additional
typical classes. more classes for
children emotionally disturbed,
psychiatric services and some
kind of instruction for children
found "non-educable but train
able"
He said that two psychologists
being requested in the 1855
budget would, if granted, pro-
vide a start toward establish
ment of more complete psychi-
atric services.

OTTAWA.-Wanted: A de-
sign for a Canadian flag which
will satisfy nearly every one.
Write or phone Louis ST. Lau-
rent.
That sign could well be
nailed on Parliament's doors.
for Canada's lack of a national
flag will be one Of the most
vexatiouS questions facing
Prime Minister st. Laurent's
administration when the new
Parliament convenes Novem-
ber IL.
It's an issue which split
Parliament down the middle
seven years ago and blocked
fulfillment of one Of the late
Prime Minister Mackenzie
Kings life ambitions. Mr..
King abandoned hopes Of get
ting the country to agree on a
distinctive flag after French
Canada baked at any design
including the union jack, and
English Canada baked at
leaving it out.
Mr.. st. Laurent would ra-
ther let this sleeping dog lie.
Even in the election campaign,
the most he said about the
question was the cautious OBJ
servation that some day Can
ada is bound to have its own
flag. But one of the admins
tration's own supporters, a
nationalistically minded Lib
eral member of Parliament
from Quebec named Bona
Arsenault, has promised to
give the drowsy canine a swift
kick in the ribs.
ArsenouIt's PIon
Mr.. ArSenault is expected
to introduce a motion in the
House Of Commons favoring
the adoption of an official and
distinctive flag for Canada.
