Aubinoe's Fitness
Checked by Mckay
For Planning Post
By George Beveridoe

Interior Secretary Mckay is
looking into the qualifications of
Alvin L. Aubinoe toward a pos
sibility of supporting him for
membership on the National
Capital Planning Commission.
Mr.. Aubinoe, 50-year-old
Washington builder and archi-
tect, has the Endorsement of area
Republican leaders for White
House appointment as a member
and chairman of the planning
group.
Mr.. Mckay told a reporter he
has asked aides to give him a
report on Mr.. Aubinoe. The Sec
retary indicated he is not sup
porting any one else to fill the
commission vacancy that will
occur April 80, when the ap-
pointment of Albert P. Green's
fielder, St. Louis engineering
consultant, expires.
meanwhile, sources backing
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III for
the commission post said today
they felt the 71-year-old retired
Army engineer has been virtually
eliminated from consideration.
Although the general was not a
party to the moev, he had been
strongly recommended earlier to
the White House for the post.
Representative Hyde, Republi-
can, of Maryland. a leading
backer for Mr.. Aubinoe, said he
sent formal Endorsement of the
builder to the White House on
Monday. It was understood that
other members of congressional
delegations from Maryland and
Virginia also are supporting Mr..
Aubinoe.
Secretary Mckay, who re-
turned this week from a trip to
the Virgin Islands, said also in
an interview that he hopes to
reach a decision within a week
on the question of whether the
Carter Barron Memorial Amphi-
theater should be leased for COM
entertainment enter
priseS.
Residents in the vicinity of
the outdoor theater have voiced
strong protests against such a
move.

the U. S. District Court for the

Plan Almost Ready
On Use Of RosedaIe
Swimming Pool
BY the Associated Press

A recommendation on the fu-
ture of the Rosedale swimming
pool is almost ready for the Rec
reation Board. Supt. Milo F.
Christensen said today.
Rosedale Playground, location
Of the pool, was converted to
inter-racial use last October, but
status of the pool was left un-
decided.
The pool, like the playground,
was barred to Negro children last
summer. The board must decide
whether it should be available
to both races when it reopens
June Is.
Retaining a ban on Negroes in
the pool would be difficult in
view of widespread Negro use of
the playground which has de-
veloped this winter.
Used Most by COlored.
Playground attendance has
been between 95 and SO per cent
colored, Mr.. Christensen re-
ported. The predominance of
colored children was less pro-
nounced last fall, when two white
boys clubs used the area for
football.
The first real test of the inter-
racial playground policy is ex-
pected Easter week, when the
area will be open all day. Dur
ing the wiater, there has been
little attendance except after
school, aside from that on Sat-
urday.
A lengthy controversy, includ-
ing frequent picketing by coll
ored persons, preceded the con-
version of the playground to BIZ
racial use and for a time the
area was closed after some vio-
lence occurred. Opponents of
the change-among them Rec
reation Board Chairman Frank
H. Collins - predicted white
youngsters would boycott the
playground.
No Incidents During Winter.
A bi-racial, staff has been SUI
pervising the area this winter,
and no incidents have been re-
ported, The playground and
pool are at Seventeenth and
Gales streets NE.
Mr.. Christensen wouldn't
disclose what his recommended
ton will be on the swimming
pool. but he said he is anxious
to get the question settled. He
said he may ask for a special
meeting next week.
The board will consider the
matter first as a special transi-
ton committee, a procedure to
deal with racial questions. The
committees decision then will
go before the regular board
meeting April IA.

Judge Cockri|I Raps
u. ). Marshal in
Roundup Of Fathers

juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrill sharply criticized the
United States Marshal yesterday
for the sudden roundup of nearly
70 District fathers on non-sup-
port charges.
Judge Cockrill revealed that
she had written a letter to United
States Marshal w. Bruce Mat
thews over two weeks ago, asking
him why such a large number
OF warrants issued by her court
had not been served.
Mr.. Matthews roundup on Sat-
urday. Judge Cockrill said, was
apparently his answer.
"I have received no written
reply" the judge commented.
She pointed out that the SO
fathers served over the week end
represent only a small portion of
those for whom warrants have
been issued but not served. She
was unable to estimate the num-
Der Of men who are still, in effect,
fugitives.
Some Issued in 1851.
II hope, in the future, the
marshals will serve the warrants
regularly as issued" she said.
She emphasized that many Of
the warrants served last week end
dated back one and a half years.
1t was pointed out, however,
that the marShalS usually work
f1ve days a week-Mondays
through Fridays-from $3.50 a m.
to about S pm. Most fathers
work during the same hours
and can be reached only on week
ends.
That is why Mr.. Matthews
called out every "able-bodied
man" last Saturday to canvass
the town.
Meanwhile, IS fathers volun-
tarily surrendered at the United
States marshal's Office yesterday,
after they had read of the drive.
Wants Report on Warrants.
Judge Cockrill went a step
further yesterday and declared
that, in many instances, reports
from the United States marshal's
Office on the bench warrants are
not reported.
"The breakdown last Satur-
day." she declared. "came as q
complete surprise to me-" She
said that unless a person is
served with a warrant she sell
dom hears what happened to it.
The marshal'S Office, she
pointed out, should return a
report, if not the wanted father,
on each warrant to be filed.
At the same time, the posi-
bility Of changing the non-sup-
port laws was raised by Donald
D. Brewer. assistant director of
Public Welfare.
Warrant Needed for Aid.
Mr.. Brewer said that, under
present legislation, a mother
may obtain welfare aid for the
support of her children only if
she can prove a warrant has
been issued for the negligent
father.
Should the father be sentenced
to Jail, Mr.. Brewer continued,
the payments he owes the
mother are deducted from the
the Welfare Board
makes to the family, thus Gre
ating a definite hardship on the
The problem, Mr.. Brewer said,
is being studied by the Interde-
partmental Committee for the
Enforcement Of the Nonsupport
Law. The committee consists
of Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray, United States Attorney
Charles M. Irelan, Donald Shea,
director Of Public Welfare, and

The De Silva youth said the
Outboard motorboat belonged to
his family. He said he and his
companions took the boat out
about 2 pm, "for a ride" The
boat capsized, about a mile and
q half off shore near Randalls
Cliff and the youths made an
attempt to reach safety. All but
De Silva apparently failed.

other four boys.
Collie Hubbard, 73, an en-
ploye at the Navy docks at Ches-
apeake Beach, rescued the
chilled, half-dresSed De Silva
youth about $50 pm. He said
the boy had clung to the stake
for about 2 hours shouting for
help. A friend of Mr.. Hubbard's
called him from Randalls Cliff
after hearing the cries.
Relatives Killed in Crashes.
A neighbor of the Reese fam
lily said Jerry's sister and her
husband were killed in an auto
accident two years ago. Another
auto accident last September
claimed the life of one of Jerry'S
brothers, the neighbor said.
Millard Atkinson, son of Mr..
and Mrs. James Atkinson, was
married only two months ago
to the former Mae Rowzee, a
family member said today.
All Of the youths were active
in the Riverdale Boys Club and
attended Hyattsville High School
together, Wayne Chinn's father
said. "They were all like
brothers, always paling around
together" he declared.
4 Tried to Swim to Safety.
When rescued from the fish
net stake. the De Silva youth was
wearing only one sock, an under
shirt and trousers.
His body was all blush and
he could hardly talk, his teeth
were chattering So" Mr.. Hub
bard said.
The youth told him all five
boys had clung to the overturned
boat for a while, but realized it
was drifting away from shore.
-Four of the boys struck out for
the stakes, while the other
stayed at the boat.
Mr.. Hubbard said the other
youths apparently never reached
the stakes. according to the De
Silva boys story.
