Spencer 10 Check
Race Clause in CTC
Snow Removal Pact

Commissioner Samuel Spencer
today said he would check the
new snow removal contract the
city has with Capital Transit
Co. to make sure no violation of
an anti-discrimination CLAUSE is
involved.
The city this week agreed to
pay the transit company for its
snow removal and sanding work
during the winter. The payment
will run between $4,000 and
$40. 900.
Forbids Discrimination.
As II, has been doing since last
November. with all contracts
with private firms, the city stuck
in clause forbidding racial dis
elimination in carrying out the
contract.
Mr.. Spencer said he doubted
there was any problem in the
transit snow removal contract.
He said the contract applied only
to snow removal and had moth
ing to do with the company's
other operations.
Only White Operators Used.
The transit company hires only
white streetcar and bus opera
tors. But. a spokesman said. it
assigns both white and colored
! employees to. the snow removal
work and there is no discrimina-
ton involved.
The spokesman also pointed
out the contract had been studied
and approved by the District
corporation counsel's Office be-
fore it was signed. He said 1t
would not have been signed If
there was any thought that the
anti-discrimination clause would
| be violated.

The District cases, he recalled:

an outright attack on segrega-
tion-hurt the parents organ
ization badly, Mr.. Bishop said
Out of 1.700 members enrolled
at that time, 700 quit.
Reason Not Plain.
There was no agreement last
night, though, as to why they
quit. Mr.. Hayes and Mrs. Bur-
ma Whitfield. vice president of
the Consolidated Parents. said
it was because of fears descend
ed from the days of the Ku Klux
Klan and fear of losing what
the Negroes had already
achieved-jobs as teachers, as
principals and even a job as as
sistant superintendent of schools.
Mr.. Bishop. though. insisted
the primary reason was fear
that white teachers in an inte-
grated system might diScrim-
mate against colored pupils.
At the same time, he said. he
could not share nor fully COM
prehend the contention of Mr..
Hayes and Mrs. Whitted that
they feel no sense of inferiority
because of color, although they
are willing to fight any depriva-
ton of their rights as citizens.
Mr.. Hayes and Mrs. Whitted
declared they have no fear for
the fate of Negro teachers in the
District, if a single standard Of
selection is applied to both white
and colored teachers.
Predict Higher Scores.
Now, they said, dual standards
are applied and are more rigor-
Gus for colored teachers. If the
same tests are given to all, they
feel, colored teachers will score
better than white ones.
On the issue Of when to end
segregation, Mr.. Hayes insisted
that it be immediate, declaring
there is no reason why the school
board-of which he was men,
ber for a term and half-can-
not achieve the switch to an in
tegrated system by next fall.
The Supreme Court decision,
he contended, does not make it
necessary to wait for ruling on
the how and when Of desegrega-
ton.
Calling the roll of those en-
titled to credit in the historic
case, Mr.. Nabrit declared. WED

give credit to the faculty OF
Howard University for their help
and criticism"
And he named Herbert o.
Reid, James A. Washington, jr.;
Dean George M. johnson.
Charles K. Quick, Howard Jen-
kins and Dorsey Lane. Two
others, he said, were Harry Mer-
ican, a disabled World War ]
Army captain, and Julian Dugas.
now an assistant District corpo-
ration counsel.
Perfected on Questions.
"They were part Of the warp
and woof of these cases." Mr..
Nabrit said. When we went
to the Supreme Court, we were
confident we could answer any
question because they had al
ready asked us questions the
court wouldn't dare to ask"
Mr.. Nabrit, SO, an Atlanta
born honor graduate of North
western University Law School,
described the change from con-
centration on equal facilities to
attacks on segregation itself.
Even as a lawyer" he said.
cit didn't occur to me until 1947,
after more than 20 years OF try
ing civil rights cases, that we
were caught in a circle and
ought to attack segregation it
self"
Then both issues were raised,
he declared, in the Texas and
Oklahoma university segregation
cases, but the Supreme Court
ruled on the separate but
equal" doctrine and ignored the
problem of segregation itself.

The administration has sub
mitted a bill to the leaders" on
Capitol Hill, but spokesman re-
fused to describe its details. A
Justice Department official de-
clined even to repeat the depart
ment's own recent statements on
the subject.
In May, Attorney General
Brownell sent letter to House
Speaker Martin asking for a bill
which would permit wire-tap-

These safeguards Mr.. Brownell
listed as follows:
In the first place, its appli-
cation would be restricted to
Investigations relating to the
national security or defense.
Secondly, wire-tap evidence
would be admissible only when
obtained by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
Thirdly. wire tapping within
the contemplation of the bill
would require the express APP
prevail of the Attorney General.
Finally. wire-tap evidence
would be admissible only in
criminal proceedings in Federal
Courts"
The Justice Department now
declines comment on Mr.. Keat-
ing's proposal to give a Federal
judge an advance veto on wire
tapping designed to produce evil
dence for use in court.
The department. however,
wants the right to use in court

authorize introduction of evil

ping "Whether occurring hereto.
