der teachers of the opposite
race.
Several formerly all-white
schools reopened with colored
newcomers in the majority. In
other cases a handful of white
children enrolled at schools for
merly all-Negro.
Principals and school officials
reported the historic change
over moving smoothly.
The city's 167 schools opened
at 9 am. today and closed for
pupils at 1915. Full day sessions
start tomorrow.
10000 New Pupils Enroll.
For some 10000 new pupils
school started without racial re-
strictions. All new pupils were
enrolled according to new. nom
racial boundary maps.
Several thousand transferring
students also moved to new
schools according to the new
maps. And some 5000 colored
pupils were transferred to for
mer white schools to relieve
croWding in their old buildings.
The largest such transfer was
to Eastern Junior High School,
where about 500 Negro students
reported.
Most of the citys formerly
white secondary schools enrolled
some colored students. Many Of
the grade schools also organized
biracial classes.
Comparatively few white stu
dents, it appeared from early
reports, moved into formerly all
Negro schools, however.
Transition Is Orderly.
Observers found order in the
secondary schools and in grade
schools, children of both races
mingled freely, playing together
at recess and sitting side by side
in claSSroomS.
Mckinley was the only senior
high school to get a large body
of Negro students, mostly trans
fers from Armstrong or junior
high graduates who formerly
would have attended the colored
technical school.
| More of the newcomers showed
up this morning than the school
had expected. Principal Charles
E. Bish said some students who
reported to Armstrong this
morning had been sent on to
Mckinley. DR.. Bish had expect
ed about 430 colored students.
Some administrative mixup ap-
parently was responsible for the
additional influx, DR.. Bish said.
At midday the school hadn't
made a final enrolment tally.
Mckinley has four colored
teachers. Many other former
white schools also had colored
teachers in some of their class
rooms this morning.
Roosevelt High School enrolled
about IS colored youngsters this
morning. Coolidge enrolled two
and Anacostia four. Woodrow
Wilson reported none.
Among Negro high schools.
Cardozo enrolled one white stu
dent. No figures were available
on other senior highs.
50 Colored at Macfarland.
At Macfarland Junior High
about so colored children were
assigned to classes. Some were
enrolled also at Paul, Taft, Kra-
mer, Hine and Stuart. Alice
Deal enrolled a single colored
girl.
Sousa Junior High, one of the
school receiving groups of trans
fer students. had about 100 COL
ored students in an entering class
of 400.

to be the largest Negro contin-

rules and regulations regarding
the qualifications of high school
graduate competitors, and I have
especially requested that Philip
pine citizenship be not required;
that a survey be made of the diff
ferent universities, colleges and
institutions in Manila willing to
offer a free tuition, matriculation
and other incidental fees; and
lastly, that special program of
study be formulated leading to
the degree of Associate in Arts
with special emphasis on the stu
dy of things Philippine.
I would like to take advantage
of this opportunity to extend once
again, in behalf of my colleagues
in the Consulate and of my own,
deepest appreciation and thanks
for the cooperation and generous
assistance given by the public,
both American and Filipino. to
this drive of the Consulate. While
the designated goal of $4,000 is
still short of S369.77, it is believed
that subject to the necessary ac-
ton from Manila, the competitive
examination could be held in time
for the selected competitor to ar
rive in Manila by June, next year,
for the academic year 1886.
I salute you all with warmest
gratitude and thanks. I can only
hope that your cooperation will
continue to be extended for the
forthcoming Filipino Fiesta.

terday a disgruntled Trailand
politician known as Nye Beri now
heads a Communist-doninated

Mr.. TSiang called on the

he charged, the group was plan
ming a federation of Thai peo-
pies in Southeast Asia which
would join a Chinese Commu-

Mr.. Using said he was not sure

Thailand and now was heading
up the secret, underground move
ment among Thai and Chinese
tribes in Thailand, Burma and

poSal to limit the Acc authority

listing atomic installations. He
said he would carry the issue

sumers through the lines of the

The committee adjourned SUBJ

would replace iva electricity

atomic energy installation.
Frank H. Weitzel, acting
controller general who has the
job of watching Federal expendi-
lures, said in an opinion read to
the committee yesterday that the
President would have to pass al
additional costs on to the iva
or else invoke extraordinary
powers" in order to conclude the
contract.
Mr.. Weitzel's letter raised q
question as to the Presidents au-
thority to carry out present plans
for the proposed power facilities
Emergency Powers Seen.
He stated that unless iva
would be willing to absorb any
extra costs, the President would
have to invoke emergency powers
under the Atomic Energy Act OF
the Acc itself would have to use
wartime powers to conclude the
contract. His letter also Sug-
geSted that consideration be
given to the feasibility of letting
the contract to the lowest bidder
after advertised bids"
The proposal Endorsed by the
President calls for the Acc to
assume about $2,319,000 of the
estimated annual increased cost
for a private plant over a iva
plant of $3,685. 900, with iva
absorbing the rest. The Budget
Bureau say the added expense
would be more economical than
building new IVA generating
plants to supply needed addi-
tional power.
Law Change Proposed.
Mr.. Holifield said, however,
that passing on all costs to IVA
would "in effect put the burden
on iva of paying this subsidy
to its competitor" TWAS
