Friendship Heights
Citizen Group Votes
To Quit Federation

BY q unanimous vote last
night the Friendship Heights Cit
izens' Association broke of from
its parent body. the Federation
Of Citizens Associations.
The association charged that
the Federation as controlled by
a bloc Of delegates who have
entrenched themselves into the
good offices." The Friendship
Heights group at first refused to
nominate any delegates to the
Federation. Then it voted to
break away entirely.
Say Voices StiIIed.
One member called the Fede-
ration "a high school debating
society" Another. referring to
the Saturday meetings, said
Saturday night is the longest
night Of the week."
But the major complaint of
the members was that they were
given little voice in the organ
ization because Of the entrench-
ment Of special interest groups.
Officers of the Federation,
when asked for comment, SYM
pathized with the Friendship
Heights criticism, but pointed
out that "to withdraw is not the
answer" In a joint statement,
Mrs, Henry A. Bartlett, vice
president, and Mrs. Edward B.
Morris, secretary. said:
Prestige Cited.
"We are up against the same
problems that any community
faces. If a group can take over
this federation, which has the
prestige of more than 40 years
of contributions by leading citi-
zenS, then that group can also
take over any new organization
which would reach a proportion
to be reckoned with in the COM
munity."
Members at the Friendship

Corning Testimony
Predicts Big Gain
OF CoIored Pupils
THE EVENING STAR
Washington, D. c.
THURSDAY, MAY FL, 1888

District school officials are
predicting that in five years
there will be 1850 more colored
pupils in the city schools than
white pupils.
Despite this difference-there
were 1904 colored pupils at the
beginning Of this school year
the total enrolment in the
city's public schools will be up
only 1923 students.
These estimates were revealed
today when a House Appropria-
itons subcommittee released tes-
timony given by school officials
May Z in a closed hearing on the
school budget.
$2S.S Million Sought.
School officials appeared be-
fore the subcommittee to justify
a budget of $3.50 million for the
IL months beginning July l. OF
this sum, $3.2 million would be
to construct new buildings, buy
permanent equipment and make
permanent improvements.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing made the enrolment esti-
mates at the request of the sub
committee.
At the beginning of this school
year. total enrolment in the
public schools was 1O0,828.
White pupils totaled 46,112 and
colored pupils 54,716.
DR.. Corning pointed out that
this increase in the number of
colored pupils and the corre-
spending decline in white stu
dents began some years ago.
The number of colored pupils
first surpassed the white pupils
three years ago, he added.
Estimates 1858 Figure.
BY the fall of 1858, the esti-
mates showed, the number of
white pupils will drop to 41,413,
while figures for colored pupils
will increase to 63,043. .
In the white schools, the big
gest decline will be in the ele-
mentary grades, where 1920
fewer pupils are expected but in
the senior high schools, the en-
rollment will remain about the
same.
In the colored schools, the
elementary grades will pick up
5.911 pupils; junior high schools
will add 697 pupils, and the senior
highs, another 2,041 pupils.
Fewer White Teachers.
DR.. Corning also told the sub
committee that, since 1945, a
total of 203 teaihing positions
have been abolished in the white
schools. He added that, after
this proposed budget is under
way, another ST positions will be
transferred from the white to
the colored schools, making
total of 270 white jobs abolished.
He said this will be done to
keep the pupil-teacher ratio in
the schools near the establisted
standards. Ssa
In addition to the contem-
plated job shifts to the colored
schools. the budget called for IS.
additional teaching positions in
the colored schools, Dr.. Corn
ing said. These new jobs are
necessary. he added. because the
increase in colored pupils is
larger than the decrease in white
pupils.

Murray Cites Need
OF PatroImen in Plea
For Budget Funds

Only 220 foot patrolmen a day

Pleading for enough funds tc
get the force back to it's author
lied strength of 2,245 men, Chief
Murray cited the rise in the
number of robberies. He ex-
planned he chose robberies be-
cause they not only are a good
gauge of criminal activity in a
community. but also a crime
most likely to be prevented by
an adequate patrol force.
During fiscal 1850. he told a
House Appropriations subcom-
mittee. there was an average
foot patrol of 366 men daily, as
compared to current average
of 220 men.
During the same PERIOD" he
went on, "robberies have in
creased from an average of 95
per month to 121 per month. In
my opinion. this increase in rob-
berries alone is sufficient justifi-
cation for restoration of funds
for the personnel requested"

rate and police manpower with
that of other cities. Chief Muir
ray said Boston, with a popula-
ton of 800, 900 has a police force
of 2,817 and, in 1852, had 1923
serious crimes. Washington, he
said, with a population of 802, 200
and a police force cut to 2,071,
had 24,258 serious crimes.
