Public hearings on the big Dis

ings about May l was reached
today at a conference between
the staffs of the House and

and Assistant United States At

ferent House and Senate meas
ures to be combined in one bill.
At today'S hour-long confer
ence. also attended by repre-
Sentatives of the House and
Senate legislative counsel's Of
flee. all the provisions were given

ure on the House side and the
eight Neely bills on the Senate
side.

Federal officials sit in to make
suggestions on zoning and other
technical restrictions.
The acting chairman said he
had not even reached a tenta-
tive decision on which building
group had submitted the most
desirable offer.
Under the program, the RIA
will buy property in the 76 acres,
clear it, re-house present resi-
dents and sell the land to the
builder selected. He, in turn,
will rebuild the area in compli-
ance with an accepted plan, and
rent or sell the homes he builds.
Mr.. Remon said the board will
make details of the winning pro-
posal public as soon as a de-
cision is reached. After that, the
agency will negotiate a final
contract with, the builder, set
ting forth definite cost figures.
Before it is signed, the agency
will hold a public hearing to
permit expressions on the de-
cision and to make known the
agency's reasons for it.

Citizens Disagree
On Sudden or Slow
School |ntegration

District civic groups disagree
on whether the public school
system could best end race
segregation all at once or on a
gradual basis.
But there is widespread agree
ment that pupils under integra-
ton should attend the schools
nearest their homes, except in
cases Of recognized hardships.
These opinions, resulting from
request for advice on the me-
chanics of integration, we're re-
ported by Supt. Hobart M. Cor
ming.
Board Invites Opinion.
DR.. Corning presented a. sum-
mary on the subject to the Board
of Education. The opinions were
invited by the board in case the
Supreme Court orders the dual
school system ended, in connec-
ton with a pending race-Segre-
cation case. A decision from the
high court is expected within the
next few weeks.
The board received IA replies,
but only about 100 offered ad-
vice, DR.. Corning said.
Among major suggestions, the
superintendent's report listed
these:
If integration is ordered, the
school board should make a clear
statement of policies and pro-
ceed without hesitancy to carry
them out.
Some groups said integration
should start with kindergarten

ments. All facilities should be
used to the fullest.
Some groups said all faculties
should be integrated immedi-
ately. Others said teachers
should be transferred only on a
voluntary basis. Many said in
terracial faculties should be es-
tahlished throughout the school
system. with teacher assignments
worked out with the help of a
committee of teachers.
Opinion was agreed that new
teachers should be appointed
without regard for race.
Many urged merger Of the
two teacher colleges next fall.
Some proposed expanding the
merged college into city college
with both junior college and
masters courses.
Reassignment Of administra-
tive officers according to pro-
fessional qualifications and SEN
ority was suggested.
Public Education Urged.
A program of public educa-
ton on the process of integra-
ton also was urged. Proposed
were parent-teacher workshops.
in-service teacher training and
EMPLOYMENT of hurnan-relation
specialists.
Many groups urged immediate

including interracial parent and
pupil activities.
One group said the school
board should drop the present
regulation banning racial. inter-
mingllng. Another advocated in
terracial sports competition. but
in only the "less emotional"
games at first.
Immediate visits between white
and colored school teachers was
urged by many groups.
DR.. Corning said he will give
the board his own recommended
tions on the subject next month,
or possibly before then if the
Supreme Court decision should
come earlier.

Redeve|opment Unit
To Get Staff Choice
For Area B Contract
BY George Beveridqe

A definite recommendation as
to which of five building groups
should get a contract for rede-
veloping Area B in Southwest
Washington was to be made to-
day by staff officials of the
District Redevelopment Land
Agency.
The recommendation will be
submitted by RIA Director John
r. Searles. jr.. to board members.
John A. Remon, acting agency
chairman, said the move would
give board members a chance to
study the recommendation and
discuss it at a board meeting
Tuesday. He said he hoped a
final decision would be reached
between that time and early
May.
Five Proposals Studied.
The recommendation was ex-
pected to include a pros and
cons" rundown on each of five
proposals before the board. The
proposals give specific plans as
to how each group would rebuild
the slum-ridden 76-acre B Area,
the boundaries of which are
Fourth, I, East Capitol streets
and the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks.
In other developments on the
vast slum-clearance program:
l. The Commissioners today
will consider an agreement max
ing available Federal funds to
help finance the project. The
agreement, already cleared by
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency and the RIA, needs the
city heads approval before the
land agency can begin drawing
money and order an extensive
appraisal of B Area properties.
/ 2. Mr.. Remon disclosed that
one of the five Area B bidders,
Webb & Knapp, Inc, of New
York, has withdrawn a condi-
tion that it would be interested
in the Area B project only if
it can get a contract to rede-
velop an entire 427-acre South
west slum area.
Considered Pilot Project.
The B Area tract is considered
a pilot project in a program
aimed at face-lifting for the
whole section.
Mr.. Remon said Webb &
Knapp withdrew the condition
yesterday, thereby indicating it
would like to handle the B prof.
ect with no strings attached. All
five of the major bidders have
said they would be interested in
the entire 427-acre tract.
Mr.. Remon said the boards
position had been that it could
not lin fairness" consider such
a conditional bid in the same
light as the other proposals.
In addition to the five major
bidders who want to redevelop
virtually all of the B Area, five
owners of small tracts have made
bids dealing with their own prop
critics. RIA officials have in
dicated these might we'll be con-
solidated into a final contract.
Orders for a definite recon-
mendation" on the major bids
were issued at a board meeting
yesterday. At that time. the
agency finished a series of meet
ings with each major bidder, to
hear detailed explanations of the
proposals.
Future Problems Avoided.
Mr.. Remon said he was very
enthusiastic" about each discus
sion. He said he thought many
future problems also had been
avoided by having District and

want it to be complete at once.

HISTORY spun the geography
II globe with restless move
ment of her hand Looking around
the large, sunlit classroom with
its new desks. big blackboards
and beautiful colored maps, she
found herself ervying Grace Tay-
Tor, and the joshing words: "Prin-
cipal's pet!" rose to her lips. But
she didn't utter them. That which
shattered girls peace of mind,
that which CONSTRUCTED her throat,
tied her nerves into knots, kept her
sleepleSs although her burning
eyes and aching head yearned for
the balm of Slumber, was some
thing too serious TO be joked about.
Then Grace appeared at last.
slim and lovely in her tweed suit,
her golden hair warm toned in the
sunshine. Ruth smiled at her and
happily turned her mind to other
things. "Any luck?"
sNope." Grace perched on a
corner of the desk. @Mr. Ounce
was apologize in his pompous
way, but the school, he announced,
was in no position to sanction such
an outing. There were questions.
Suppose the boat sank? Sup
pose a child fell overheard and
drowned? Or suppose a~few of
them got a bad case of sunburn?"
"Suppose?"
Grace shrugged. Il daresay he's
right, though. Just a picnic on the
beach viii have to do, I'm afraid. .
They'll be disappointed" Ruth
reflected aloud. 'The little brats
really worked. was so proud of
Johnny Smith in particular"
"Still -"
Ruth nodded. She drew on her
white gloves, picked her handbag
from the desk and walked with
Grace down the long, silent hall
to the exit of Building Two. Com
pleting only her second year at the
school, she still found it novelty,
in June, to be able to hear birds
singing on the lawn and to be able
to walk anywhere along the as
phalt paths without fear of being
run down by some boy on a BIZ
cycle. She shook her head.
