Experts Aid Sought in Fight
Over School BUILDING Funds

The Board Of Education may
ask some experts to help decide
whether the District is getting
the most for its school construc-
ton money.
The experts also may be asked
to help settle another question:
Whether the public school sys-
tenn has committed any waste in
abandoning 80 school buildings
over a period Of years.
Mrs. Frank S. Phillips, chair
man of the boards Buildings and
Grounds Committee, launched
both proposals yesterday. She
won committee approval, and
approval Of the full board will
be asked next week.
Planners Accused Of Waste.
Mrs. Phillips and Robert r.
Faulkner. another board member,
have been frequent critics of
school construction plans. Mr..
Faulkner, in particular, has ac-
cused building planners of waste,
and he also raised the aban-
doned building question some
time ago.
Under Mrs. Phillips plan, q
special committee would be
formed to look into construction
methods, finishes, materials and
space needs. She said Municipal
Architect Merrel A. Coe, Con-
struction Supt. Archie Hutson
and others-including the presi-
dent of the Washington Building
Congress-have agreed to join
the committee.
The group would be asked to
come up with some suggestions
for possible changes in school
design and materials, Mrs. Phil
lips said.
Member West A. Hamilton said
he did not want any group die
tating to school officials on the
subject. and Supt. Hobart M.
Corning said he would object
if the committee tried to
interfere in the course of study.
But members agreed the group
would be merely advisory.

Corning Delays Shifts
Until Supreme Court
Acts on Segregation
By jones 6. Deone

District school officials have
decided to hold off some import.
ant policy decisions until the
Supreme Court acts on pending
race segregation cases.
Supt. Hobart M. Corning yes
terday told the Board of Educa'
ton he was postponing any pro-
posals for major changes in th'
school system. BY this he pre-
sumably meant transfer of more
white schools to colored pupils
The superintendent earlier hae
planned to propose any such
transfers by next Wednesdays
board meeting.
Full Report Due Later.
Instead. he told board mem.
bers. he is planning to present
a comprehensive report on need
ed changes Immediately after
the high court acts.
It is considered possible that
the court may order the dual
school system ended. In this
case, the superintendent's re-
port is expected to outline plans
for carrying out such an order.
If, on the other hand, the court
does not rule out continued seq
regatiop, DR.. Corning may well
propose one or more transfers
to take effect this summer.
One situation in which a trans
fer has been asked is the crowd
ing of Payne Elementary School
Parents have asked for nearby
white Bryan or Buchanan, and
DR.. Corning had promised the
board to deal with the Payne
question this month.
Junior High Surplus.
Another pressing problem is
the prospect of 1900 surplus
Negro junior high students next
fall. Transfer of the white
Sousa, Mcfarland or Taft
Junior High has been asked by
the National Association for Ad-
vancement Of Colored People tc
meet this situation.
DR.. Corning was pressed BY
board members on the Paynt
problem yesterday. Mrs. Velms
g. Williams asked whether
Payne will get relief next fall
and DR.. Corning replied that il
would.
Explaining postponement o1
any Payne proposal, the super.
intendent declared:
1--WE should not make any rec.
concentrations for major schoo
changes which might be un.
necessary under the Supreme
Courts decision"
Under an integrated setup, il
is expected that Payne's over
flow would move into one of the
nearby schools.
The superintendent told the
board a special census of chill
dren in q wide area surrounding
Payne has just been finished. He
Evening star., 1953-05-15

didn't say what the census
showed, however.
To Postpone June Meeting.
In addition, DR.. Corning told
the board he wants to postpone
the regular June meeting until
the last Wednesday. It has been
scheduled for a week earlier.
Five race cases are awaiting
decision, one stemming from an
unsuccessful attempt of several
colored children to enter the
white Sousa Junior High School.
The court heard arguments on
them some months ago, and an
nouncement Of a decision is con-
sidered likely by early next
month.
School race segregation in
nearby Maryland and Virginia,
as well as throughout the coun-
try, conceivably could be out
lawed, along with that in the
District. One of the non-Dis-
trict cases specifically involves
schools in Virginia.

didn't say what the census
showed, however.
