Survey Is Planned
OF All Plaintiffs
In Integration Case
BY the As.oeio,sd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 15.-
The lawyers who took Virginia's S
Prince Edward County school
segregation case to the Supreme
Court have announced that they
will conduct q full survey" Of
the 50 families listed as plaintiffs
In the case to determine If any
sizeable number have changed
their minds.
Oliver Hill. a partner in the
Richmond firm Of Hill, Martin
& Robinson which represents
the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People.
announced plans for the canvass
last night.
Mr.. Hills revelation followed
on the heels Of q Richmond
Times-D Dispatch news story, pub
lished Sunday. which reported
that not all the SO plaintiff fam
lilies still want Virginia's historic
separate but equal" policy for
education Of the races abol-
iShed.
10 Families Questioned.
The newspaper survey. made
by two reporters who spoke with
19 families. turned up six FAM
lilies who said they prefer the
present system to non-segrega-
ton; five families who want in
tegration-i.e., non-segregation-
and eight families "in the mid
die" on the issue.
Mr.. Hill said yesterday he is
certain a majority of the
Negroes are still in favor of
what has been done. Some peo-
pie, both white and colored, have
no concept of what constitutes
equal educational opportunities.
They think in terms of buildings
and that's ALL"
Mr.. Hill said the Times-Dis-
patch story was the first he had
heard Of any split among the
plaintiffs, whose suit was en-
tered in May, 1851. after a "pro-
test" strike Of Negro high school
students over alleged unequal
facilities.
Lawyer Dubious.
One Of Mr.. Hill's law partners.
Martin A. Martin, said he found
it hard to believe" there had
been a wide shift of opinion
among the Prince Edward plain
tiffs in the past 21a years.
He said the parents had origi-
nally requested the NAACP law
yerS to bring the type Of suit
that was brought"-one not only
for equal facilities but for aboli-
ton of segregation.
T. Justin Moore, ST., who de-
tended the Prince Edward School
Board against the suit, said the
comments of the plaintiffs would
have no effect on the validity of
the suit.
Even if the Supreme Court
ruled segregation demonstrations
al, he said, he would not use the
statements Of the plaintiffs as
ground for asking a rehearing.

Maj. Gen. Paul H. STREET. who

had the ability to remain on

admired at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center.
A person very close to the
general said recently:
He always says yes or no.
It's never maybe with Gen.
STREET."
With this positive approach,
Gen STREET made Walter Reed
one Of the finest medical centers
In the world.
The general believes he might
have picked up some Of his adj
ministrative knowledge - which
includes making ends meet from
his father. q Methodist minister
in Texas. The general can re-
member his father getting q new
church built even on less than
the usual amount Of funds avail
able for this purpose.
Urged . Deeper" Look.
Gen. Streit came to Walter
Reed In 1949. One Of the first
things he told his string Of doc
tors to do was. Don't look 90
much at charts and thermom-
eters; look ct the patients eyes
and soul"
The general has done q lot Of

CanlaIier Receives
Merchants Protest
On 18th St. Traffic

Merchants protested at the
District Building today that
making Twelfth street one-way
between Pennsylvania and Ver-
mont avenues was hurting busi-
ness.
Since February 18th that street
has been restricted to north
bound and Tenth street to south
bound traffic.
A delegation of four mer-
chants called on Commissioner
Renah F. Camalier. He said he
would take up their complaint
with the other commissioners.
He was sympathetic, but said
the commissioners would have to
have facts and figures.
Henry Trachtenberg Of Sacks.
furrier at 61O Twelfth street,
who headed the delegation, sup
piled the figures.
He said parking lots along the
street have done IL per cent less
business this month than q year
ago. His own company's busi-
ness, he said. also is OF by q
similar percentage.
SO Firms Join Protest.
While 20 merchants opposed
the one-way plan when it was
up for a hearing in December,
Mr.. Trachtenberg said that now
8S concerns are joining ill the
protest. These include Nmer-
chants on F and q streets near
Twelfth. Mr.. Trachtenberg said
the Twelfth street one-way traf-
fic is backing UP cars on the
cross streets.
The delegation produced pho
tographs to show little traffic on
the street except during the
evening rush hour. During that
period, they said, less than half
the traffic consists Of private pas
senger cars. The rest are taxis,
buses and trucks. They COM
planned that taxis use the street
as speedway.
Garage Work Delayed.
AS additional evidence, they
said plans for a large parking
garage in the vicinity Of Twelfth
street are being held up because
Of the restriction.
The group recommended that
