Clemmer Asks More
Funds in Budget for
Prisoner Increase

District Corrections Director
Donald Clemmer wants more
money in fiscal 1856 to accommo-
date an anticipated 375 addi-
tional prisoners.
Mr.. Clemmer's request for a
bigger budget comes in the face
of Metropolitan Police reports
that have shown a steady drop
in the District crime rate in
recent months.
A highly placed official attrib-
uted the apparent discrepancy
in trends to the fact that the
courts have been imposing SEN
fences about one-third longer
in recent months.
Sees 3,775 Load.
Mr.. Clemmer's anticipated net
inmate load at District Jail,
Lorton Reformatory, Occoquan
Workhouse and the Women's
Division is BITS.
The bulk of his requested
$250,326 increase over 1855 ap-
preparations is earmarked for
care of the added caseload. The
total here is $192,277.
More sleeping facilities for
prisoners is a prime need.
Since the departments institu-
lions collectively must be pre-
pared to bed down a peak daily
load of 1850, about $4,000
worth of new beds, blankets,
sheets. pillows, mattresses, pill
low cases and mattress covers
will be needed.
For Building Equipment.
The department also needs
more funds to supply and equip
three new buildings to be COM
pleted this year.
A $68,200 appropriation is
asked to provide 20 additional
correctional officers to augment
the 425 now distributed among
the four separate institutions of
Mr.. Clemmer's command.
The total requested operations
appropriation is $4,625, 900 for
fiscal 1856.

Charity Solicitors
Registration Backed

The District Commissioners
today Endorsed proposed legis-
lation requiring registration of
charity solicitors here.
They acted on the recommen-
dation of their Citizens Advis-
DRY Committee which felt "the
present situation in Washington
is very unsatisfactory and has
resulted in the exploitation of
many of our generous hearted
citizens and this situation has
had an adverse effect on the
whole theory of charitable solicit
tations."
The city heads discarded the
protest of Recreation Director
Milo F. christensen, who want
ed Government agencies, includ-
ing his own, to be exempted from
the act.
Principal provisions of the
proposed bill include, in addition
to the registration requirement,
establishment of a committee to
advise the Commissioners on
permit issuances; a requirement
that solicitors report the money
they get and disposition to be
made of it, and criminal pen
alties for violations of the law.
It is estimated that about 800
local organizations would be reg
istered under the proposed bill.
About $4,000 yearly would be re-
quired to carry out legislation.

Ratio Of Negro
Pupils. Higher
Than Predicted
Now Constitute
so Per Cent of Total
In D. c. Schools
Ru innnee = n.~
By james 6. Deone

The proportion of colored stu
dents in Washington's public
schools has jumped slightly
ahead of predictions this week.
A revised enrolment report by
school officials revealed today
that Negro pupils now constitute
60 per cent Of the school sys-
TENS total-3 percentage points
and almost $500 pupils higher
than a year ago.
White enrolment, by contrast.
has declined 1886 since the first
week OF school a year ago.
Officials yesterday made public
an enrolment count showing
99,946 pupils, about SO per cent
OF them Negro. Today the total
was revised upward when Off
Gals found one junior high
Terrell-had been omitted from
the count.
AsVsv SSuuSAtS
Terrell has 1.079 students, all
colored. This brings the official
racial ratio in the school system
to 60,443 colored, 40,582 whites.
Supt. Hobart M. Corning had
predicted that the colored pro-
portion this fall would be prob
ably So or SO per cent.
The addition of Terrell also
increases the majority of color ed
teachers in the school system
slightly. Negro teachers now
total 1886 and white SIT. The
colored teachers thus constitute
81 per cent of the total.
Increased to 1O2,26S.
Actually the revised enrolment
totals listed at school headuuar-
tiers already are out of date. The
office of the school statistic:an
yesterday afternoon made a later
count showing the school sys-
TENS pupil population had in
creased to 102,268. This count
was not broken down racially,
however.
School officials have predicted
that the total will rise to around
100000 by next month, when
late registrants have checked in.
Addition of Terrell changed
the race Indignation picture
slightly. Yesterdays report
showed only seven of the city's
% Junior highs still attended by
only one race. Counting Terrell
increases this number to eight.

and about Is committee hearing

Building. authorized in 1905 and
completed in 1908 at a cost Of

No estimate was available today
as to the probable cost Of third

The spread of committee ac-
tivitieS, especially in the inves-
tigating field, and the increased
duties and problems Of members,

reasons for the need for a third
