D. {. Heads Go
To White House
On Segregation
Program to End
Practice Developing
At Conferences

A program to end segregation
in the District is now under study
at the White House, it was
learned yesterday.
The plan is being developed in
conferences between Commits
sioner Samuel Spencer and Max
we'll NJ. Rabb. White House staff
assistant assigned to problems
of minority groups.
1t is designed to carry out the
promise made by President Eli
senhower during his campaign
and reiterated in his State Of
the Union message to use what
ever authority he has to end ra.
cial segregation in the Capital.
No details of the plan have
been revealed but the question
again has been raised as to just
what the President can do by
executive action. apart from what
he could ask Congress to approve
by legislation.
Republican Pledge Cited.
Meanwhile the racial situation
in the District has changed con-
slderably-even since Gen. Eisen-
hover spoke out on the subject
year ago. In some fields the
changes have developed through
court rulings. In others, integra-
tion has Just naturally developed.
During the 1852 presidential
election campaign, Gen. Eisen-
hover accused the Democrats of
having failed in 20 years to solve
"the racial discrimination prob
lem" IN the District. The Re-
publican platform also called for
elimination of every vestige"
of such discrimination, particu-
larly in the Nations Capital.
A month after the election,
President Truman said he long
ago would have ended segrega-
ton here if he had had execu-
tive authority to do so. His
comment dealt with former Com
missioner F: Joseph Donohue's
statement that the incoming
President could abolish segre-

the fire department.

to use whatever authority ex-
lists in the President to end seq
regation in the District of CO.
lumbia." .5,
Immediate purpose Of the cur
rent series of conferences be-
tween the White House and Dis
trict officials apparently is to ex-
plore not only the extent of the
executive authority in this in
stance but also the extent Of
racial segregation practices in
this city at this time. and how
the picture is changing.
Four Solutions Proposed.
Then the President will be in
a position to decide which of the
following four principal ap-
proacheS might be most effective
as well as advisable, practicable
and legal:
l. He might find it within his
presidential power to take direct
steps by executive order to end
or ban segregation. Differences
of opinion exist as to the scope
of the Presidents authority over
the District government. It is
generally felt that any ban on
segregation in the public schools.

the flames into the building,
Firemen had to restrain him.

woman beneath a bed.
A few minutes after firemen
got out with her, portion of
the roof and the rear wall COL
lapsed.
Major in Hospital.
The woman was pronounced
dead on arrival at Anne Arundel
General Hospital in Annapolis.
Maj. Carver also was taken to
the hospital.
The cabin was total loss.

emily started in the kitchen.

They crawled under a fence,
stuffed fertilizer into the cash

sacks of grass seed, took several
thousand plant bulbs assorted
according to variety and mixed
them up, wetting down the mass
with water. Seed, bulbs and
broken plants covered the en-
tire floor of the garden store to
a depth of Is inches.
The boys sprayed insecticide
over 20 bushels of apples, broke
open cans of anti-freeze and
smashed light bulbs with a ham
mer. They dumped farm and
garden supplies from the load
ing platform to the concrete
area below. Then they dumped
gasoline on the platform, struck

went across the street to watch
the fire department fight the
blaze. Estimated damage, $780,
