appears to be over-populated.

preparation of the usual neces-
sary transfer date including In

L. The reallocation and trans
fer of equipment, textbooks and
classroom supplies.
| /All Of these steps are essential
to a smooth and efficient transi-
ton.
8. These steps cannot be ac-
compliShed in the summer when
the schools are not in session and
pupils, teachers. parents and
field officers are not available
Even though it is possible to cal
employed educational personnel
back for summer service, any
move in this direction would re-
suit in lowered morale at a time
when it should be at its highest
point. Furthermore, even though
all such employees can be made
available we would still have
no means of communicating
pupils and parents.
4. It is highly important that
the moving of so many children
and teachers and the complete
changeover on so vast a scale
should be undertaken only after
detailed planning and confer
ence.
5. It is the opinion of the
superintendent that the COM
plete transition Involving the
transfer of all children to schools
within the new boundaries by
September, 1854, is administra-
lively impossible in a sound
orderly way.

One-Mon Fire Department

LAKE DALLAS, Tex. R.-
When his car. garage and
house caught on fire Monday,
Dub Brown of this lake-edge
community acted quickly.
He pulled the burning car
out of the garage by attach
ing a tow chain to a truck
and backing up. He then
extinguished the house and
garage fire.
He was really fast with the
car, which was still burning.
Using the truck again. he
pushed it into a pond.
He's pretty sure the fire is
out because the car is still
6 feet under water.

about the new fire alarm.
The alarm is three shots in
rapid succession. That's exactly
what one of the trio fired into
the air.
The fire chief. Dick Black. and
a citizen, George Coen. came
running. Coen, 80, went home
for his own guns and, in a

graduation, even if they live out
side the new boundaries, pro-
vided this does not exclude
youngsters living within the
boundaries.
DR.. Corning, defending this
plan, said this would not prevent
a mixture of races, but would
prevent educational disruption
for individual children. Unnec-
eSSary transfers would be a
blow to the welfare and progress
of the child for whom the schools
exist" he said.
The other issue centers on DR..
Corning's propose timetable,
which would limit immediate in
tegration next September mostly
to the transfer of about 2,7OO
Negro pupils to white schools.
The superintendent declared
that quicker integration is not
possible because of a number of
administrative difficulties. One of
the most important is that pupils
and teachers will not be avail
able during the summer for
working out reassignments, he
said.
Cites Presidents Statement
Citing the expressed hope of
President Eisen hover that
Washington desegregation will
be a model to the Nation, DR..
Corning declared:
Should the schools open in
confusion in September, as seems
to us an inevitable result of too
rapid progress, our experience
here will indeed be a bad exam
pie for the country"
The superintendent promised,
however, that complete desegre-
cation "is to be accomplished
with the least possible delay"
DR.. Corning made these dis
closures:
He now expects to have the
city'S senior highs and voca-
tional highs completely desegre-
gated by next February /. This
means midyear graduating
classes from Junior highs will
enter senior highs without re-
gard to race.
He plans to make additional
transfers-besides the 2,700 COL
ored children already planned
"as soon after the opening of the
school year as possible by the
application of the new bound
aries in certain areas in which
the number of pupils to be trans
ferred is very limited" This pre-
sumably includes areas where
there are a very few colored
children, who could be admitted
to white schools.

Corning Sets Forth His Program on Abong Segregation in Schools

The statement OF School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning to
the Board OF Education yes
terdny on the ending OF race
segregation IN the District
schools tolloiDs:
At the special meeting Of the
Board Of Education on May Is,
1854, the superintendent SUBJ
mitted a report setting forth
principles designed to govern the
administration in effecting a
transition from a segregated to
an integrated school system and
outlined procedures consistent
with those principles. At the
same meeting the board adopted
a statement of policy with which
the superintendent wholly con-
CURED. It is his opinion, and
that Of his staff that the princi-
Piles and procedures recon-
mended are consistent with the
spirit and intent of the policy
which the board adopted.
The superintendent is sincere
earnest and eager to accomplish
the changeover in an objective
and effective manner and with
out any delay in any particular
that is not required by a con-
sideration of the educational
growth and welfare of children
and by administrative necessity
The operation of two of the
features of the procedures
recommended by the superin.
tendent in his report Of May q
were explained in some detail
The report did not. however
adequately explain why these
procedures are educationally
sound and necessary. They are
specifically Cd the provision
that children have the choice oi
remaining in their present schools

ganized with teacher transfers
where necessary to obviate this
kind Of difficulty.
8. Transfer Of all students
initially would require a great
many more moves Of teachers,
and resulting reorganization OF
school stats and school offer
ings, than are necessary to ac-
complish the desegregation proc
eSs.
In considering this proposal
of the superintendent a control
ling consideration should be the
fact that the purpose of public
education everywhere is the
welfare and progress of the child.
The superintendent feels, that
unnecessary transfers to accom-
plish a desired goal Immediately
and to satisfy adult desires
would be a blow to the welfare
and progress of the child for
whom the schools exist.
2. THE TIMING OF THE
VARIOUS STEPS TO
COMPLETE INTEGRATION
A point of view has been ex-
pressed that all children should
be assigned to schools according
to the newly established boun-
daries by September, 1854. For
the following reasons the super
intendent believes that only the
significant emergency transfers
recommended should be made
as of September, 1854, and that
the remaining steps in the tran
sition should be accomplished
progressively during the year
with completion by September
1855:
| /. The drawing of new boun-
Diary lines, involving careful
study OF the spot maps for
168 schools now in the super
intendent's Office and of the
100000 residence cards on the
IBM machines, can be accom-
plished by September.
2. The assignments of pupils
to schools according to the new
boundaries, however, is not ,ac-
complished by indicating these
boundaries on e map. The salts
factory accomplishment of this
complicated process of transfer
ring large numbers of children
and preparing the schools to re-
ceive them involves the following
steps:
a. The actual drawing of new
boundary lines for every school
in the system by the officers con-
cerned, on the basis of IBM
data cards and the spot maps
which have been prepared by the
principals since the Supreme
Court opinion.
b. The announcement of these
new boundaries to the patrons of
the schools, preferably in school
meetings, together with the fur
nishing of sufficient explanatory
material to enable them to un-
derStand how the new boundaries
will operate.
C. The securing of school
choice signed by the parent of

- dark colored with hard core. There were
two more on his abdomen close to the bad
hip. The Jumps were removed Immediately
and showed under microscope. More than
dozen experts some of whom did not know
the name of the patient involved, examined
them. The diagnosis: widespread, malignant
= cancer The prognosis: not too hopeful.
Many cancer patients are told part-truths
or nothing at all, but it was clear that Taft.
because of his crucial political position, had
to know. A committee Of three. headed by
his personal physician, told him.
It was late in the afternoon. The Senator
was working crossword puzzle.
The doctor said briskly, seriously, Senator.
we have arrived at diagnosis am extremely
unhappy to inform you Of its nature. ="
Taft took it without the flicker of an eye.
The doctors expected him to ask how long he
had to live But he did not ask. Instead.
Taft-like, he began to cross-question them
and ask for more information.
He was told that he had an extremely rare
form of cancer, mysterious in origin. All the
painful and irritating tests and examinations
to which he had been subjected in Washington
and Cincinnati had failed to reveal the one
thing his doctors wanted to know - where IT
started. Unless they could find out, cure
could probably not be expected.
Roznpsd with Czandchildren
Taft asked, What shall do now1"
:. He was advised to choose another hospital
- one of the nations five or six great cancer
treatment centers. There, the diagnosis could
be checked again. general. hold-the-line
course of treatment gotten under way, and the
search renewed for the source OF the cancer.
Taft left Holmes Hospital week later. on
1utches. He spent that evening with his
grandchildren, romping, teasing, telling
stories. One granddaughter took her current
problem to him: Grandfather. she asked,
was Jesus ever President of the United
States?" Taft laughed so hard his glasses
flew off.
The next day he was back in Washington.
He went straight home and sat down IN his
favorite armchair. After moment ne said
quietly to Mrs Darrah Wunder. an old family
friend and constant companion of Mrs. Taft.
well, guess have cancer. I'm going to
take it easy and do as the doctor says.
That afternoon Taft appeared in the Senate
on his crutches. He told an evasive truth:
''It's my hip muscle" Cortisone treatments
in Cincinnati had removed much OF the pain.
He looked rested and cheerful. No one sus-
pected the truth. Taft felt little uncomfort-
able about the deception but had decided
Evening star., 1954-01-17

upon it for two reasons. First. he wanted to
spare Martha Taft Second, he earnestly felt
that the success or failure of the Republican
administrators first year in Office rested on
his ability to get the Congressional decks
cleared and ready for the Presidents exten-
sive new legislative program, due in the fall.
He had counted on a year for the job. He
knew that he had much less time than that
but, given a chance. he believed he could still
do it, He let official Washington jump to the
conclusion that he had arthritis.
Visit From Truman
l AFT made his first social appearance on
crutches the following evening at formal
dinner party at the home of Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles. He showed the crutches
to all the guests. They were made of light
weight magnesium alloy. He waved them
gaily and showed how nimbly he could hop up
and down stairs Someone there asked him
how long he was going to be using them.
II don't know" he said truthfully.
He continued to attend Senate sessions.
His old fellow senator, Harry Truman,
visiting ON the Senate floor, stepped over
To Taft's desk and greeted him warmly.
II noticed the crutches,' Truman told us
but to tell you the truth hardly thought to
ask about them. You'd never have thought
he was sick Bob Taft was man with lot
of guts!'
Taft realized that he could no longer put
off another disqualification. Steered by an old
Yale classmate. he selected New York Hospi-
tai. 1t seemed an excellent choice. Only an
hour by plane from Washington, it was
general hospital not stamped in the public
mind as cancer refuge, yet it was close by
Memorial Hospital. one of the worlds leading
cancer-research centers.
He was playing hide-and-seek with the
press His doctors advised him not to register
under his own name. He finally decided on
Howard Roberts Jr., as an alias. He seemed
TO enjoy it hugely.

But no treatment could really hide what
was happening. On June 10. Taft flew back
