Federation Hits
School ParIeys
Gives Committee
Right to Start Court
Suit Over Legality

The Federation of Citizens
Associations last night author
lied its legislation committee
to go to court to prevent the
superintendent of schools from
holding inter-racial teachers
meetings in the schools. if the
committee decides the meetings
are illegal.
"In view of previous rulings
by the Corporation Counsel's
Office on questions pertaining to
the law under which the schools
Of the District of Columbia are
operated, there is some queS-
ton as to the legality of this
action ION the part of the super
intendent, the resolution said.
Passed by Voice Vote.
It was passed by a voice vote
with only a couple of nays re-
corded.
The first of the inter-racial
teachers sessions is scheduled
for Thursday, delegates said.
Mrs. Lottie A. VanHise, of the
Brentwood Terrace Citizens AS
sociation, declared the meetings
would give the impression to the
Supreme Court that Washington
is ready for it (intergratlor),
they're looking for it."
William K. Norwood, treasurer
of the group. said the meetings
are unnecessary for training of
teachers for a possible inter-
racial school system because II
can't believe the Supreme Court
would be so asinine as to set a
date (for integration) that would
not allow us to prepare for it,"
One Opposing Speaker.
Only speaker against the res
olution was Julian Berch of the
Lamond Heights Citizens Asso-
citation who said his group had
discussed the matter at great
length and felt the meetings
would allow better instruction in
case of integration and could not
possibly influence the Supreme
Court decision.
Earlier last night, the fedora
ton voted to attempt to inter-
vene as friend of the court"
in the legal fight over the Capital
Transit Co. bond and dividend
policy.
The group favors the Public
Utility Commission's side in the
battle. The commission is at
tempting to block recall of its
bonds by Capital Transit. The
recall would be necessary to
free funds with which to pay a
scheduled $1.60 dividend.
The commission has obtained
an injunction against the COM
pany's action, which Is still in
effect.

Hunt Reluctant.
A like view came from Sena-
tor Hunt. Democrat, of Wyo-
ming, who was chairman of the
District Fiscal subcommittee in
1949 when Congress enacted the
Districts sales tax. He said he
planned to support the District
Committee bill "but with a
heavy heart" about the sales tax
provisions on groceries and res
taurant meals.
Wyoming and other States
have such taxes, he said. Also he
recalled that in 1949 he had ad-
vocated District sales tax that
would exempt virtually nothing.
Conditions today, however, he
added, were different.
I'm 1949, we had time of
good employment and good
money" he said, land it seemed
all right to tax foods as many
of the States do. But today there
is unemployment that raises new
questions" he added.
Just when the Senate will
take up the District public works
revenue bill has not been deter
mined. Majority Leader Know
land has given priority to at
least two other measures.
The Senate's consent calendar
is to be called tomorrow. There
after, the Senate will take up the
big Federal road aid authorize
ton bill. Following that will be
the leaSe-purchase legislation to
enable the United States to get
ahead with its needed provision
of Federal buildings here and
elsewhere by contracting for
structures on the installment
basis.
Legislation Waiting.
Also awaiting Senate attention
is a wool price support measure
and coming up is legislation on
labor relations.
Chairman Case has consulted
with Senate Republican policy
makers about the District reve-
nue. bill, reminding them that
President Eisenhower has listed
a District public works bill as
a part of his program. No def
mite time has been set for the
city bill, however, for such meas
ures ordinarily are worked into
gaps in national legislation.
The District revenue bill, ap-
proved by a 5-to-2 vote in the
Senate District Committee last
week. will be reported formally
to the Senate probably tomor-
row.
So far is known. neither the
Republican nor the Democratic
Policy Committees of the Senate
has taken any stand on the pro-
visions. If that is done, action
most likely would come after the
bill is officially reported to the
Senate calendar. Some officials
said it was more likely that each
Senator would be left free to
vote his own convictions rather
than having any party issues
made over the District bill.
