Small Businesses
weigh Methods Of
Attracting Industry

Washington's business COM
munity is actively seeking the
better mousetrap that will bring
more business to its collective
door.
The American Business ASso-
citation, an organization of about
100 small business firms here,
met last night to discuss the
problem. Members were told
that other Washington business
men. large and small. are deeply
engrossed in the subject.
Among the speakers were
Henry Gichner, vice president
and general manager of Fred s.
Gichner Iron Works and a men,
ber of the Greater Washington
Industrial Council: Edward F.
Ryan, Washington Post reporter,
and Oscar Bessie, Navy Depart
ment engineer and student OF
industrial trends here.
Mr.. Gichner said the recently
formed industrial council wants
to bring more industry to the
area to I'LL the gap left by re-
duced Federal payrolls. He said
the council also is interested in
stimulating business activity
among the industrial and busi-
ness firms already here.
Mr.. Ryan urged a "con-
certed effort to make Washing
ton a center of cultural and
commercial activities which do
not rely upon the Federal Gov
ernment."
Mr.. Bessie said that among
the major factors inhibiting in
dustrial growth here are lack OF

Graduations 10 Free
Funds for Colored
Junior High Schools
By james 6. Deana

The Districts colored junior
high schools next month, for the
first time. will have enough
teachers to establish special
classes for slow-learners.
Associate Supt. Francis A.
Gregory said today he hopes to
create at least one such special
class in each of the II colored
Junior highs.
The extra classes will be made
possible partly by graduations
this month. Colored Junior highs
will graduate about $50 stu
dents and will gain no new stu
dents because the school system
has ended midyear sixth-grade
promotions.
The other factor making the
new classes possible is the
scheduled transfer of seven
teacher salaries to the colored
| Junior highs from the white
schools.
Total of About so.
School officials already have
announced that 81 white SAL
aries in all will be switched
February / to the colored divi-
sion. 1t was learned today that
a few more salaries are being
added, bringing to about so the
total of new colored teachers to
be hired.
White Junior highs also are
graduating students this month
and this is enabling the release
OF some of the salaries. Supt.
Hobart M. Corning told the
Board of Education last month a
small number Of white temporary
teachers will be dismissed, but
he has not disclosed the total.
The windfall Of extra teachers
in the colored schools may last
only a short time. The school
system has predicted an influx
OF another 1900 new pupils in
the colored junior highs next
fall and a bigger increase in the
grade schools. This might wipe
out the special classes. Mr..
Gregory said.
School officials are trying to
get funds for enough extra COL
ored teachers to meet the new
enrolment, however. They are
aYso seeking funds specifically to
give the colored schools the spe-
cial classes on a permanent basis.
White junior highs long have
| had such classes.
Glasses to Average 27.
| Mr.. Gregory said there will be
enough colored junior high
teachers next term to reduce the
average class size to 27-one
pupil below the Board of Educa-
ton standard.
Meanwhile, School Board COM
mitteeS were scheduled to meet
today on several other important
matters involving the two school
divisions.
One is proposal by DR.. Corn
ing for transfer of the white
Kenilworth Elementary School
to colored pupils.
The superintendent also
planned to give his views today
on requests from colored parents
for transfer of two other white
schools. Colored parents have
asked for either Petworth or
Raymond in the Northwest and
Burroughs. Langdon or Wood
ridge in the Northeast. DR..
Corning has not yet made any
recommendation on these
schools.

tions before the Mccarthy Senate
subcommittee will be "processed

to such union-wrecking methods
and would demand the reinstate-
ment of Slater with all his
rights"
