III Negro Teachers
Allotted 10 Schools
Anocostio Junior High,
N Requests Denied in
Appropriations Report
By Jones 6. Deone

The House Appropriations
Committee today gave q green
light to seven District school
construction projects and to
plans for hiring 1T new Negro
teachers next fall.
But the committee turned
thumbs down on a proposed
100000 educational television
project. 1t also ignored pleas Of
citizens for an immediate start
on a new white junior high
school in Anacostia.
An appropriation Of 1921 mil
lion was recommended for the
public school system. The COM
mittee left most major school
items asked by the Commits
sioners intact. but Topped off
$685. from the requested
$28.8 million and made no addi-
tionS.
Outside School Budget.
The television project was out
side the regular school budget.
The city heads-at the urging of
the Board of Education-made a
last minute request for $500, 900
to build an educational tele-
vision station and 100000 to
operate it for its first year. The
committee turned it down fiat.
But the legislators approved all
the other major construction
projects which the Commits
sioners passed. The projects,
to cost $3.1 million, are:
Grade schools at Fifty-sixth
and East Capitol streets and
Stanton and Elvans roads Sc;
additions to Douglass and Terrell
Junior Highs and Syphax Ele-
mentary School; and plans and
specifications for a Junior high
at Forty-second and Grant
streets NE. and a replacement
for Van Ness Elementary School.
All these projects are for
Negroes.
Operating funds were cut
$186, 400 from the amount re-
uuested. The total recommended
was $24.9 million.
The 1T new Negro teachers
are the number requested.
Complete Parity Sought.
The committee said it was ap-
proving this total, however,
with the understanding that
these increases, together with
position transfers between Divi-
sions / and 2 which are pro-
grammed for the fiscal year
1854. will bring about complete
parity in the pupil teacher
ratios as between the two divi-
sions."
Eighty-five Of the lit teacher
positions are new. officials ex-
pect to transfer salaries for the
remaining 80 from Division l
(white). Additional salary
transfers also are expected.
The budget recommended for
the schools is $2.3 million bigger

President Eisenhower and Sen

today avoided any party-split-
ting break in their relations
despite some fundamental diff
ferences over United States poll
cies in Korea and the Far East.
The White House took the
initiative only a few hours after
Gen. Eisenhower had said at a
news conference that mo" he
did not agree with Senator Taft's
assertion that the United States
might as well forget the United
Nations as far as the Korean
war is concerned"
Gen. Eisenhower aides called
Senator Taft'S Office to inquire
about the health of the Senate
Republican leader. They init
mated the President planned to
address a note of cheer to Sena-
tor Taft, hospitalized in Gin

Four Votes Prevent
Federation BACKING
OF Refugee Proposal
Long Discussion Marks
Federotion's Decision
On Eisenhower Plan

Four votes today put the Gen
eral Federation of Women's
Clubs against President Essen
hower's recommendation that
100000 refugees. after proper
screening, be let into this country
from Europe during the next two
years.
After long discussion, the 62d
annual convention of the GSWC
at Constitution Hall voted 246 to
242 against the emergency i'm
migration legislation.
Mrs. Eudora Hawkins of
Abilene. Tex, said, "You can't
trust refugee screening. Refugees
who said they were farmers came
to Texas and we found they had
never worked on a farm before. "
Rising Birth Rate Cited.
Remember the United States
birth rate is on the upswing," a
Pennsylvania delegate pointed
out.
A representative from for
eign country emphasized that
I'VE have to think of birth con-
troll. That 100000 will soon be
l million after they get here"
Proponents of the resolution
pointed out our vast spaces COM
pared to crowded European
countries and the need in this
country for skilled European
trained workers.
At their last morning session,
the Federation amended two
previous resolutions and adopted
seven others. They were:
l. To urge the United States
to ratify protocol conventions to
curtail illicit international mar
cotic trade.
2. To indorse the Pan-Ameri-
can Union proposal to exchange
teachers between the United
States and Latin American coun-
tries. The Latin American teach
ers' salaries would be supple
mented by the Federation and
member clubs to meet high liv-
ing costs here.
3. Asked that no reduction be
made In programs which would
jeopardize such services as are
now being rendered by the Office
of Education, Children's Bureau,
Food and Drug Administration
and the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare. Also to
commend the Government for
the spirit of economy" that
seems to prevail in Congress.
Reduction Opposed.
4. To support President Eisen-
hoWer's foreign policy as out
lined in his April 16 speech.
S. To restore authority to the
Federal Government to inspect
factories under the Food, Drug
and Cosmetics Act. This resolu-
ton was presented by the Dis
trict of Columbia Federation of
Women'S Clubs.
6. To speed up the develop
ment of natural resources in
Indian territory and to safe
guard Indian ownership to offset
poverty among the Indians. Also,
to provide adequate schooling
and job training for Indians, and
to give the Indians authority to
manage their own affairs.

from all further peace negoti-
atoms in Korea" if present truce
talks fail. Aides said he would
not comment for several days.
if at all.
Intention to Criticize Denied.
But Robert A. Taft. jr., the
Senator's son, noted in a tele-
phone interview from Cincinnati
that Senator Taft had said in
his Tuesday night speech he was
giving only his personal views on
the Far Eastern situation and
had said these views were not
intended las any criticism of
what is being done or not done. 4"
The Senator's son said he is
satisfied the difference of opin-
ion could not be construed as a
"break" with the President, nor
would it be likely to be reflected
in opposition to administration
policies.
Senator Taft is scheduled to
return to Washington Sunday.
The Eisenhower and Taft
statements left the two most
powerful men in the Republican
Party publicly at odds not only
on the U. Ms future role in the
Far East if truce talks fail but
on the methods by which peace
might be attained in that area.
Senator Taft has favored a
"one-bite" approach to Korean
settlement, wrapping up also the
problems of Formosa and Indo-
China in a single agreement.
Direct Quotes Permitted.
Several hours after the news
conference the White House
granted newsmen permission to
quote directly from Gen. Eisen-
hower's comments on the Taft
speech. Normally, the Presidents
remarks at news conference may
not be quoted directly.
The differences of opinion
between the two men followed
closely a well-marked division of
views within the Republican
Party. Their public expression
indicated the trend foreign pol
icy debate is likely to take in
Congress.
Senator Taft's colleagues
among Senate Republican lead
ers discounted talk of a break
that might split the party, al
though none of them wanted to
talk publicly about the differ
ences between the President and
the Senator.
Senator SaltonStall Of Massa-
chusetts, assistant Republican
leader, didn't want to comment
on either Senator Taft's speech
or Gen. Eisenhower'S news con-
ference remarks. But he added:
IT have faith that the United
Nations will be a helpful organ
ization in maintaining the peace
Of the world and am not ready
to give up that faith"
u. N. Delegates Minds Eased.
In New York, U. N. delegates
would not comment for publica-
ton. but they indicated that
Gen. Eisenhower's stand had
eased their minds considerably

Occasional Rain
Predicted for
Coronation Day
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, May 29.-Occa-
sional rain is officially predicted
for coronation day, June 2, in
London.
The Air Ministry today issued
this special long range forecast:
Weather is likely to be
changeable, with occasional rain
or showers at times, particularly
in the east and north. But there
will also be some bright periods. P"
Thus the weatherman held out
hope that Tuesday may have dry
periods during Queen Elizabeth's
procession to and from West
minister Abbey.
The experts went out wide on
a limb to issue-four days in ad-
vance-the promised special
coronation day forecast. They
had collected all their forces for
their gamble in a land where it
is almost foolhardy to predict
the weather more than 48 hours
in advance.

Delay Motion Fails
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 29.-Con-
demned atom spies Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg were sentenced
today to die in the Sing Sing
Prison electric chair the week

This was the fourth time that
Federal Judge Irving r. Kauf-
man had set the execution date
amid a maze of legal defense
maneuvers which are still con-
tinuing.
Defense counsel unsuccess-
fully sought to have Judge Kauf-
man postpone the setting of the
date until next Monday.
Convicted of Conspiracy.
The Rosenbergs were convicted
of conspiracy to pass atom bomb
secrets to Soviet Russia. They
are in the Sing Sing death house.
Their attorney, Emanuel H.
Bloch, was not in court today.
His father, Alexander Bloch, also
an attorney. represented the con-
demned couple.
Federal attorneys firmly OPP
posed the defense move to delay
setting of a date.
Judge kaufman then an
nounced briskly that he was
going to act today, because
the date I fix will be the same
date, even if 1 did put it over
to Monday. I have made up
my mind"
II then ask you to set the
execution date for the first week
in july" said Mr.. Bloch.
THE date is June Is, Mr..
Bloch" Judge kaufman replied.
Two Petitions Pending.
