Southeast Units
Protest School
Boundary Lines
Citizens Associations
Hit Anucostiu and !,
Eastern High Shifts

Delegates, from six Southeast
citizens associations today met
with school officials to protest
the new Anacostia and Eastern
High School boundaries, which
grew out Of the Supreme Courts
anti-segregation ruling.
Under the new setup, students
living between Benning and
Naylor roads, and the Anacostia
River and the District line, must
go to Eastern rather than Ana
costa when they graduate from
junior high school.
Note Traffic Hazards.
The delegation argued that the
new boundaries will mean:
1. Pupils will have to travel
a much greater distance for their
classes.
2. They will face the hazards
of heavy traffic in having to
cross the river twice a day.
8. Families will be separated,
as students now enrolled at Ana
costa will remain there while
those coming up, from junior
high mostly attend Eastern.
A. Real estate values will de-
cline as residents will move to
other parts Of the city to avoid
the situation.
New Pupil Count Set.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing and DR.. Norman j. Nelson,
first assistant, agreed to make a
new student count in the area
to see if a compromise line can
be drawn without overlooking
Anacostia.
Harry s. Bowman, jr., presis
dent of the Hillcrest Citizens
Association, said the citizens
groups asked that the line be
moved up from Naylor road to
the south side of Fort Dupont
Park.
Mr.. Bowman said after the
meeting-Which was closed to
the press-that the delegation
represents at least 5000 residents.
School officials said the student
count would be completed as
soon as possible.

Senator Charles Sumner of
Massachusetts, lived on the square
and there is story about his
showing the park to Thomas
Babington Uord) Macaulay.
Cultivated Americans were a
little ashamed of the bronze
statue Of Jackson on the rampant
steed. It was designed by Clark
Mills, a largely self-taught sculp-
tor, and cast at his BladenSburg
foundry from cannon jackson
captured in the Battle of New
Orleans.
Sumner was trying to avoid
turning Lord Macaulay's atten-
ton to the statue but a young
member of the House did Just
that. asking what the visitor
thought of it. Macaulay tact
fully replied that he had seen
better ones. The congressman
then said. "But the sculptor had
never seen an equestrian statue"

completely moot, and counsel for
respondents submit to the court
that there will be no necessity
for even the remand of this case
to the United States District
Court for the District of CO.
lumbia."
Mr.. Sharpe, in his affidavit, de-
clared:
Although there was wide
divergence of opinion amongst
the members of the Board of
Education concerning both the
plans submitted to them by the
superintendent and the subse-
quently submitted time schedule
therefor, and sharp discussion
took place in several Of the board
meetings concerning both of
these reports. said reports, as
well as the Statement of prin-
ciples" prepared by a committee
of the board. were adopted by
board action, and have been set
into operation.
"There is still no unanimity of
opinion among board members
that the plan submitted and the
time schedule prepared by the
superintendent are the best that
could be devised. The principal
objection at this point, by a
minority Of the board, is that
the transition is too rapid.
notwithstanding this view,
the program of integration of
the schools has been in effect
since the opening of schools for
the current term on September
13. 1854 indeed, much Of the
preparatory work for the COM
mencement on that date of in
struction on an integrated basis
was accomplished prior thereto.
Since classes started, although
some OF the students in four or
five schools on the Junior high
and high schools levels expressed
IN a comparatively orderly man.
ner for a period of a few days
their emotions against integra-
ton, the program has proceeded.
and integrated classes have been
operating without incident"
Refers to Walkouts.
The board presidents state
ment that students expressed
their emotions against integr-
ton" was a reference to student
walkouts which occurred for sew
eral days at some senior and
junior high schools.
DR.. Corning, In his affidavit,
declared that his original in
tegration time schedule calling
for pupil transfers in February,
1855, had been speeded this fall
because extra classroom space
was found 10 be available.

figures Of history like Gideon
Welles. Russell A. Alger and
Chauncey Depew crowd the La
fayette Square entries in the
old directories.
Before the Civil War Senator
Slidell of Louisiana and Com
modore Wilkes both lived on the
square. During the war the
commodore stopped a British
ship and took off Slidell and his
fellow Confederate emmissary,
Mason, an act that started the
famous Mason-Slidell dispute
with England.
The most sensational incident
on the square was the shooting
of Philip Barton Key. the Dis
trict prosecutor, by Daniel
Sickles. Sickles lived on the
west side of the square and
his young wife used to signal
Key, who was her lover, as he
sat at a window in the Wash
ington Club, where the Belasco
Theater now stands. When
Sickles found out about it he
killed Key with a shot fired in
front of the club. The "unwrit-
ten law" prevailed and Sickles
went free. He went on to a
generalship in the Union Army,
loss of a leg at Gettysburg and
appointment as Minister to
Spain where he became the
lover Of the queen.
One thing seems certain.
With the old residences being
used as Office space, the square
will never again become the res
idence of the great and near
great. But by q strange quirk
its appearance is being pre-
served by the threat of atomic
warfare. The Federal Govern
ment acquired the entire east
side of the square (Madison
place. in 1910. It intended to
extend the Treasury Annex
from the Pennsylvania avenue
corner to H street. But the
H-bomb is causing postpone

Bigger R0TC
Defense Role
Predicted Here
Iund Grant Schools
Hear U. S. Chiefs
Are Studying Program

A new look at the military
reserve program is underway
and spokesmen today predicted,
at least for ground forces, an
expansion Of the role of ROTC.
Speakers told delegates to the
annual convention of the Asso-
citation of Land-Grant Colleges
and Universities here that the
National Security Council is
meeting today to discuss poll
icies and legislation dealing with
the reserve program.
John F. Hilliard, deputy as
sistant director for manpower
Of the Office of Defense Mobili-
zation, predicted that within a.
month or six weeks a specific
program will be developed" He
said that for the first time in
years planning for both indus
trial and military mobilization
has been turned toward the
future.
Raps Active Duty Policy.
A spokesman for the Depart
ment of the Army expressed
concern over the policy requir-
ing all those successfully COM
pleting ROTC training to be
placed on active duty within
two years of graduation.
"That is not right; we don't
want it." Maj. Gen. Bryan L.
Milburn, special assistant to the
Army Chief of Staff, declared.
He said the traditional role of
the ROTC has been that of a
strong reserve of well-trained
officers for emergencies.
The requirement grew out of
the Korean war when students
participating in ROTC were de-
ferred from military service,
Gen. Milburi1 said.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
director of the Selective Service
System, said his Office did not
formulate the policy but that he
thought it a good one, adding,
I'VE don't want students or Of
flcers to grow up in a period of
escapism."
Gen. Hershey said a decision
must be made soon as to whether
or not this country wants to
produce officers through special
training, who do not serve a
period of internship on active
duty.
Heavy Army Cost Cited.
The new look at the reserve
program was spurred principally
by monetary and modern war;
fare requirements, speakers
agreed. The heavy cost of main
tanning large active duty forces
in all services during. the cold
war period was considered pro-
hibitive. Further, if all-out war
were to occur, the time for train
ing strictly mobilized forces
would be relatively small, speak
ers said.
James M. Mitchell, Deputy
Secretary of Defense for man
power and personnel, said the
three services were required to
release thousands of officers to
make room for the 1853 and 1854
ROTC graduates. He said mill
tary leaders expect more stability
in future absorption of such
graduates.
The speakers addressed the
Committee on National Defense
of the association, which opened
it's 68th annual convention today
at Hotel Statler.

proved by the board in Sep
tember.
The Supreme Court, when it
issued its May II ruling, asked
the District and four States
which also are defendants in
pending segregation cases for
opinions as to how the ruling
should be put into effect. One
possibility suggested by the high
court was that the cases should
be remanded to lower courts.
which would then supervise i'm
fermentation.
The Districts brief argued
that this is unnecessary in the
case of Washington.
Citing the documents outlin-
ing the current integration pro-
gram here, the brief asserted:
"It will be seen from the FORE
going exhibits that positive steps
have been taken and are well
under way for complete desegre-
cation of pupils in the public
schools of the District Of CO.
lumbia, and that, according to
the schedule approved by the
respondents, the entire program
will have been completed by Sep
tember l, 1855, i.e., before the
beginning of the next full school
year.
while Exhibit 5 (affidavit by
Mr.. Sharpe) shows that there
was wide divergence of opinion
among the respondent members
of the Board of Education con-
corning the method and the tim
ing of the program Of desegrega-
ton and that some of the board
members are still not satisfied
Herewith. it further shows that
the statement of principles, the
general plan and the time sched-
ule were all approved by a ma
jority of the board. Except for
a brief and mild expression of
emotions in four or five schools
above elementary level, the
transition has proceeded without
incident"
No Need for Directive.
:.
The Districts legal officers re-
called that they had already told
the court they do not feel that
Mays unconstitutionality ruling
required an immediate transition
to integration. They added:
''It is submitted that no direc-
tive Of compliance with the de-
cision Of May IL is necessary, be-
cause the time schedule which
respondents have put into opera
ton for the accomplishment Of
complete integration of the
schools In the District of Co
Alumbia is as short as can reason
ably be. devised to establish, in
orderly fashion. a school system
which complies with the decision.
IF the Court agrees with the
last premise, then. it is sub
mitted. the entire matter, so far
as the District Of Columbia
school system is concerned, Is,
for all practical purposes, moot
