Committee, in Pity,
Eases Queen Trip
BY the Assoeio.ed Press

L1SMORE, Australia. Feb. 10.
The royal tour committee took
pity on Queen Elizabeth II to-
day. They decided a 52-mile
auto ride at the end Of more
than 1000 miles by plane. train
and car in three days was too
much.
Instead, the Queen will do the
last So miles from Wollongong
to Sydney tomorrow by train.
Some persons thought the
Queen looked tired when she ar
rived last night at LismOre from
Sydney and Newcastle.
Today her schedule included
a civic welcome at the local
council chamber, a visit to the
town of Casino. a two-hour
flight to Dubbo. in western New
South Wales, and a 75-minute
flight back to Sydney tonight.
Everywhere the reception was
the same-thousands standing
in soaking rain or steamy heat
to cheer.

Negro Pastor Says
Board Does NOTHING
On Unequal Schools

The Board Of Education was
accused last night of following
q "do-nothing" policy toward
inequalities in the Districts
colored schools.
The Rev. Smallwood Williams,
Negro clergyman. made the ac-
cusation at a public meeting in
the Turner Memorial A. M. E.
Church, Sixth and streets NV.
at which the school board was
criticized by several speakers for
actions taken at its January 20
meeting.
A resolution was voted. after
Mr.. Williams spoke, listing sew.
eral complaints against the
board. Mr.. Williams suggested
also that eight of the nine board
members, as we'll as School Supt.
Hobart M. Corning. should re-
sign. No action was taken on,
this, however.
The member excepted by Mr..
Williams, DR.. Margaret j. Butch
er, attended last nights session,
which was announced as a rally
to support her activities on the
school board.
DR.. Butcher Speaks.
DR.. Butcher spoke briefly. say
ing she intends to continue eff
forts to improve educational IA
cilities for colored children and
also indicating her opposition to
segregation. She was praised by
the other speakers and was APP
plauded several times. Approx
mately 800 persons attended.
The resolution was passed by
the audience by a standing vote.
which was almost unanimous. 1t
asserted that the school board on
January 20 by an 8-to-1 vote re-
fused to acknowledge that the
white and colored divisions of the
school system are unequal. 1t
also cited a statement by DR..
Corning that he would not rec
ommend further adjustments at
this time. and refusal by the
board to direct him to answer A
questions submitted by DR..
Butcher.
The resolution then declared:
"Inasmuch as the result Of
these actions is Cd a refusal by
the board to admit the known
truth about District public
schools in order to take action
based on that truth, co to freeze
the present inequities in the
school system. and CD to de-
prive a member of the board of
freedom of information, be it re-
solved that We do disapprove the
above described board actions of
January 20. 1854, and do inform
the Board of Education and the
superintendent of schools that
there should be continuous effort
to provide the best education for
all our children"
Board Called Derelict.
Mr.. Williams. who is pastor of
the Bible Way Church, 1880 New
Jersey avenue NV. described
the school board as "derelict in
its duties" with regard to Negro
school conditions. He accused
the board Of drifting with the
tide" while awaiting Supreme
Court school race segregation
ruling
Tilford E. Dudley. member Of
the CLIO Political Action Com
mittee, said the school board has
company stooges" on it who
are turning the knife on the
people they represent" and
urged that they be removed.
Edward D. Hollander. national
director of Americans for Demo-
cratic Action. asserted the school
board is showing no inclination
to eQualiZe conditions in the two
school divisions. He said a crisis

NEW YORK R-Steel companies

U. 5. PROGRESS IN THE ATOMIC FIELD

Rear Admiral Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission, recently held his first
ference with reporters in Washington, since he became
chairman Of the Commission, approximately fourteen
months ago.
On one occasion, President Eisenhower invited
Strauss to Presidential press conference attended by
writer for this newspaper and Strauss answered number
Of questions for reporters However he has not been
available for press conferences generally speaking and
in response to general desire the press that
he held his latest conference
The main point to out in the Strauss conference

This indicates that the United States mssspro-

From the tone of Strauss latest statement the u S.

It also might indicate that the problem Of building
