Negro Teachers Waiting.
Baltimore, like Washington,
has a waiting list of several hun
dred qualified Negro teacher ap-
plicants and few or no white ap-
plicants. DIR. Fischer said he ex-
poets all Negro applicants will be
needed in predominantly Negro
schools next fall, but in the long
run the prospect is that more
Negro teachers might be- hired
than white.
DR.. Fischer said it is reason
able to assume that there will be
some integration of teachers
next fall in schools where pupils
are mixed. But he said he could
not yet estimate the extent of
teacher mixing.
Procedure for appointing
teachers is to select one from
the top five eligible, but more is
taken into account than exami-
nation results. Human relations
and personality elements are
customarily considered, and this
will be the case in integrating
the teacher force, DR.. Fischer
stressed.
"Well have to select persons
best suited, considering all
characteristics" he said.
To some Baltimore citizens
last Thursdays school board de-
cision came as a surprise. But
actually Baltimore's school sys-
TEN has been laying groundwork
for the change for some years.
The late DR.. William H. Lem
mel. DR.. Fischer's predecessor.
announced soon after becoming
superintendent in 1916 that
while the city code forbade
pupil integration. it didn't pre-
vent interracial activities outside
the classroom. DR.. Lemmel also
spanked the creation of an inter-
racial parent-teacher council
representing all schools.
Not only have there been ex-
tensive interracial teacher activi-
ties, but colored and white
classes have visited each others
schools. And Dr. Jackson, for
his part. states that he regularly
takes part in all administrative
deliberations, not merely those
affecting colored children but
those affecting white as well.
The adult education program
conducted by the schools for sew
eral years has had racially mixed
classes. and this summer all
adult classes have already been
organized for the first time under
one roof. at the Polytechnic In
stitute, with a white principal
and colored vice principal.
Calm Reaction.
Baltimore's reaction both to
the Supreme Court decision and
the school board action has been
surprisingly calm.
One quick reaction was an an
nouncement yesterday by the
Baltimore Catholic archdiocese
that its schools will end racial
bars. (WaShington Catholic
schools. once under the same
archdiocese, began desegregating
five years ago.

To Be Home Area
By Robert J. Lewis

The Congressional Airport, on
Route 240 between Bethesda and
Rockville, has been sold for more
than 100000 and will become
the site of a residential develop
ment, it was learned yesterday.
The transaction involved more
than 100 acres, 40 of which were
zoned last month for apartments
and the balance for single and
Semidetached homes.
Sellers were Earl w. Shinn,
Victor DeMers and Robert w.
McKeever. The buyer was the
Rockville Land Co.. Inc, owned
by Joseph S. Devereaux and Ste
phen B. Elkins. which has been
active in Rockville area con-
struction and development in
the postwar period. The sale
was handled by Hubert I. Klein
peter, president of Frederick w.
Berens Sales, Inc.
About a year ago, the airport
area was annexed to the town

cial frontage along the Rockville
pike was retained by Arthur
Hyde. who formerly owned the
entire airport property.
It is understood the buyers
expect to proceed with an initial
development in the area of about
$50 dwelling units.
Legal work in the transaction
was handled by former Judge
James c. Christopher.

About $4,000 Kentucky coal
miners are unemployed at pres

days.
Most of the States unem-
ployed miners are in eastern
Kentucky and only a few of the
employed miners are getting a
full work week, a survey of the

Maryland Embarks
On Program 10 End
Bang S Disease
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, April 3.-The
University of Maryland Board Of
Regents. acting in its capacity
as the State Board of Agricul-
ture. has embarked Maryland on
an emergency program designed
to eradicate brucelloSis from
dairy herds.
BrucelloSiS is known as Bangs
Disease and can be transmitted
through milk to humans, in
which it produces undulant
fever.
The program is expected to
cost Maryland dairymen about
100000 and the State more
than 100000.
Disposal Fees to Owners.
The State money would 60 to
owners for disposing' of their
infected cows, $50 a head for
purebreeds and $25 a head for
others.
The State Board Of Health al
ready has agreed to put teeth in
the program by adopting a regu-
lation that no milk may be
shipped to market from dairy
herds not regularly inspected
and kept free of brucellosis.
What the Board of Agriculture
did yesterday was set the me-
chanics and deadline of the
campaign.
Covers All Herds.
All dairy herds must be en-
listed in the eradication program
by January /, 1855. BY Novem-
Der /, 1865, they must have been
tested, and by December 81,
1855. all the infected animals
must have been destroyed. From
then on, all herds must continue
regular tests. with the immediate
slaughtering of any infected
animals.
DR.. T. B. Symons, acting
president of the university and
formerly its dean of agriculture
