and the immediate gains to be
derived therefrom by Negroes in
the Noyes community are small
in comparison with the losses

collectively to whites and Negroes
alike"
The petition. in discussing the
shifting of the Negro popula-

acion "is not fair to the estab-
lished white residents Of the
Noyes community" It added:
"The white residents have. for
the most part, been q part Of

years, and so long as the dual
school system is in effect in the
District, have a larger equity in

ties for Negroes under the dual
system"

The District is becoming more

The District is becoming more
valuable as real estate.
Assessor James L. Martin re-
ported to the Commissioners to-
day that the assessed valuation
of the city's buildings and ground
will reach an estimated $1.8 bill
lion July /. A year earlier the
valuation was $1,7S2.588,582.
This valuation is on taxable
land-which makes up only 47.8
per cent of the District. Most
of the land here belongs to the
Federal Government, the District
itself, or to other non-taxable
organizations - such as foreign
governments, religious organiza-
tions and charitable groups.
The assessment of non-taxible
real estate last year was ST.

coming year have not been COM
pleted. but Mr.. Martin said the
value would certainly increase

Appeals Court Asked
To Ease Criticism Of
Juvenile CaseActions

The District corporation coun-
sci has asked the Municipal Court
Of Appeals to tone down a recent
opinion IN which practices of
Juvenile Court were criticized.
The case involved Camille
Candy Sippy, 18. who was COM
mitted to Pennsylvania insti-
tuition by Judge Edith Cockrill
at the request of the girls
mother, Mrs. Harold Sippy, 3218
Newark street NV. The appel
late. court upset Judge Cockrill's
action.
Miss Sippy since has been re-
leased and is living with friends
in Washington.
Conferred With Judge.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Edward A. Beard said the Dis
trict decided to file the motion
for a "rehearing or modification"
Of the appellate decision after
conferences with Judge Cockrill.
Mr.. Beard said no attempt is
being made to have the appellate
court reverse its decision in the
case. The motion stated that the
District seeks to protect the rep
utation and standing Of Juvenile
Court from inferences which are
not justified by the actual events
in the Sippy case.
Two Criticisms Made.
The appellate court made two
major criticisms of Judge Cock
rill,s handling Of the case.
The opinion said Juvenile
Court allowed an attorney rep
resenting the mother to appear
for the girl. It also sain In
competent hearsay evidence and
unsworn testimony was per-
mitted.
The Districts motion said the
attorney entered himself as
counsel for the girl at the re-
quest Of the mother. But, it
continued, he was accepted as a
friend of the court and directed
to file an appearance In that
capacity.
Judge Cockrill supported the
motion by an affidavit In which
she said she had treated the
girls own attorney as the sole
counsel.
The affidavit and the motion
stated that the permitting Of
unsworn testimony was an mad
vertency and not the continuing
policy Of the Juvenile Court.

Rules Group
DefersAction
On Transit Bill
Committee Plans
CIosed-Door Session
On Probe Demands
By Harold B. Rooers

BY Harold B. Rogers
The House Rules Committee
today postponed action on Sem
ate-passed legislation for q
sweeping investigation of Cap
ital Transit Co. and other pas
Senger carriers serving the
District.
After hearing House District
Committee leaders request a rule
to send the investigation resolu-
tion to the House for debate.
Rules Committee Chairman
Allen said:
1--WE did not reject it. We
postponed action until a later
executive session."
It was obvious. the Illinois Re-
publican said, there would be
lengthy discussion of the investi-
cation measure in executive ses-
sion Of the committee.
The Rules Committee was
strongly urged by House District
Committee Chairman Simpson
to give a green light to the pro-
poSal for a joint congressional
committee inquiry into many
phases Of the public carriers
here.
He was supported by Repre-
sentative Friedel, Democrat, Of
Maryland.
Senate Gets New Bill.
Meantime. there were two
other congressional actions in
the transit field.
The Senate was to receive to-
day a bill passed yesterday by
the House directing a study Of
Metropolitan Area problems. in
Guiding highways. traffic, mass
transportation and bridges. The
bill was to be sent to a Senate
committee for consideration.
Chairman Wolverton Of the
House Commerce Committee an
nounced his unit will hold fur
them hearings on Senate
passed bill for a new three
member Washington Metropoli-
tan Area transit commission to
regulate street railways, buses
and taxicabs.
Mr.. Simpson was questioned at
some length today by the House
Rules Committee as to why an
investigation should be made Of
the Capital Transit Co. and other
carriers serving the District.
Cites Resentment"
He said the principal reason
was public resentment against
the utility, and some congress
sional resentment. l@s
A joint Congressional Commit
tee Of six members as authorized
by the legislation, Mr.. Simpson
said, could go into many facts
and "clear the atmosphere"
Mr.. Simpson stressed that the
Capital Transit Co. in a pub
lished advertisement in March
had called for such a congress
sional investigation, declaring.
I'VE welcome it."
Transit Company Vice Presi-
dent E. Cleveland Giddines. who
attended the hearing but did
not testify, later told reporters
the company concurred with Mr..
Simpsons testimony. I'VE urge
such an investigation he said.

Chairman Robert Mclaughlin.
who also attended the hearing,
told the press afterward that in
his opinion the investigation
would "clear up the situation"
1T is most important" the
chairman said, that the people
Of this area understand what the
facts are"
"The basic difficulty now." he
said, "is the falling of of use OF
public transportation. Such use
depends very largely on the pub
lie relations of the company. II
the people use the service, that
makes it easier to establish an
economic rate"

Pay Rise Doubt
Slows Hiring Of
D. {. Teachers
Suburban Boosts
Lure Applicants,
Officials Declare
By jones 6. Deone

By james 6. Deone
Uncertainty about a pay raise
is hurting District teacher re-
cruiting for next fall.
Prospective teachers are being
attracted to the suburbs, where
most teachers are getting raises.
Even some present teachers are
resigning to move to the suburbs,
officials disclosed today.
District teacher pay raise bills
are pending in Congress. A Sen
ate subcommittee was scheduled
to hear testimony this afternoon
on a proposed 10 per cent in
crease.
But Arlington, Fairfax and
Prince Georges Counties and the
city of Falls Church already have
granted teacher raises, and in
creases are likely in Montgomery
and Alexandria.
Tops District Pay.
The Arlington raise tops pres
ent District starting pay by near
ly 5000. Arlington teachers now
start at $4,000. compared to the
Districts present $3.50.
Associate Supt. Carl F.. Han
sen said four teachers in the
white grade schools have quit
to join suburban school sys-
TENS. One reason was the pay
situation. he said. The other
was that they have moved to
the suburbs to live.
Several prospective teachers
called at the last minute to say
they were taking suburban jobs.
DR.. Hansen said he has so
teacher vacancies in the grade
schools for next fall, and he
isn't certain whether all can be
filed.
AppA1C0utS tAEC CCWs
Officials disclosed the supply
of white teacher applicants is
at a new low.
Only SIS persons took eXamina-
tions for permanent teacher
posts in the white grade schools
the only level doing any ap-
preciable hiring. And most of
those are already on the staff
as temporary teachers. The
grade schools could fill 200 per-
manent posts if qualified people
could be found.
Another uncertainty also is
diScouraging recruiting. This is
the possibility that some of the
temporary teachers might be
let go during the course Of the
next school year to release SAL
aries to the colored schools
Coiored schools have no short-
age of teacher recruits.
This happened last year, and
all temporary teachers are told
when they are hired that it
could happen again-although
officials hope it won't.
Higher pay is needed to help
offset this uncertainty, DR.. Han
sen said.
Basic Pay Higher, But.
District teacher pay is still
higher than the new scales in
Fairfax, Falls Church ard Prince
Georges. But most Of the SUBJ
urban school systems give new
teachers more credit for past
experience than the District does.
This also works to the Districts
disadvantage.
And Montgomery County pays
teachers in the lower brackets a
dependency allotment up to $315.
so the starting pay there is
higher for those, qualifying even
under the county's present
schedule. Montgomery pay also
is already more than $400 more
than the Districts at the top
of the scale.
A requested increase to $4,000
starting pay in Alexandria may
be acted on tonight.
District teachers feel they
should get raise because police
and firemen already have been
granted one. The police and
firemen got IL per cent.
Rookie policemen now get
$1,000. so many teachers think
they deserve the $770 necessary
to bring them up to the same
level.
