On Race Order
Seek to Delay Rule
On Integrution Until
Congress Returns

Delegates Of the District fire.
mems union tomorrow will ask
the Commissioners In person to
hold back their racial Indignation
order until Congress reconvenes.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said last night that he agreed to
meet with the union officials In
his District Building office at $3.50
am. tomorrow.
Capt. q. e. Tacey, president OF
Local 36. international Associa-
ton Of Fire Fighters, said he will
hand the city heads . copy Of
the resolution adopted by the
union membership earlier this
week protesting the indignation
order and asking that it be held
In allegiance.
Capt. Tacey will be accom-
panied by Sergt. William Stew
art. chairman of the unions
segregation committee. and other
members Of that committee.
Congressman Show Interest.
interviewed last night on the
weekly Report to the People
program on Radio Static n
WWDC,. Mr.. Spencer discloseS
he has received several commu-
nications from Congressman in
connection with the Fire Depart
ment integration order.
He refused to say who or how
many have got in touch with
him however. In the last few
days the union has been trying
to get legislators, chiefly mem
bers of the House and Senate
District Committees. to intercede
with the Commissioners. The
union wants another Congress
sional hearing on the subject
before an indignation order is
actually put into effect, accord
Ing to Capt. lacey.
Commissioner Spencer said
last night that for the present
at least the order still stands.
He refused to indicate whether
tomorrow's meeting with the
union may result in suspending
the order.
Crime Drop Noted.
Elsewhere in his radio report,
Commissioner Spencer an
nounced that the incidence of
serious crime in the District
continued it's downward trend
during August. Compared with
the same month last year, the
city's 1878 felonies were 16 per
cent lower. .ras
The percentage of cases
cleared by arrest showed sub
stantial increase, moreover. Mr..
Spencer added. Last month the
725 clearances represented STA
per cent. as against the SGT per
cent record of August, 1858.
when we bear in mind that
the National crime clearance
average Is only "a per cent, we
can be- especially proud aof otif
own record" the Commissioner
said. &EE
Praises Fringe Parking.
Turning to traffic problems,
Mr.. Spencer put in a plug for
the Districts new fringe parking

be provided free rush-hour bus

trial period. The 400 parking
spaces will be absolutely free for
motorists.
If the undertaking succeeds
and Mr.. Spencer seemed con-
f1dent that it villa charge, pos
slbly lower than general rates
will be made for the express
bus service.
i strongly urge workers tc
use this new facility to benefit
themselves and the community
