House Probers
Put Hamburger

By the Associated Press

The lowly hamburger gained
prestige today as the subject of
a full-f1edged congressional in
vestigation. joining a distin-
guished company which in
cludes mink coats. home freez-
ers and oil fields.
The issue was drawn yester-
day when, armed with a 2-foot
pile of documents, Hoover Com
mission spokesmen stood pat on
their report that the Navy has
a Cougar supply of canned ham,
burgers.
Next Monday House in
vestigating subcommittee will
hear the reply of Secretary of
the Navy Thomas, who already
has publicly disputed the Hoo

Can't Wait to Reply
Mr.. Thomas left little doubt
he can hardly wait to reply. "Tll

A task force of the Hoover
Commission on Government Re-
organization reported it found
the Navy had 886,02 pounds of
canned hamburger at supply
depots. enough to last go years
at the average rate of issue.
The report added that $685.
pounds of the hamburger had
been canned in 1850. 1851 and
1852. and was thus too old by
normal standards.
Joseph P. Binns. chairman of
the task force, emphasized these

For Stotes' Appeal

RICHMOND. Va, April IL up.
"A Federal Appeals Court today
gave Baltimore and Maryland
officials until May / to decide
whether to appeal to the United
States Supreme Court from the
appellate court ruling throwing
out the separate but equal
doctrine in operating segregated
parks and Fairgrounds.
The Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals granted request for a
stay of mandate in the two cases
heard Jointly before the court.
The appellees had asked addi-
tional time to consider whether
to appeal, and the appellate court
stipulated in an order entered at
the opening of its new term here
today that the appeal must be
filed on or before May /.
On March IA the Circuit Court,
in a joint opinion on the two
cases, ruled segregation of the
races in public parks and play
grounds was unconstitutional.
This decision reversed the Fed

has been settled.
But in some other parts of the

whether there should be a grad

Washington's largest local
white and colored teacher or
CARNATIONS expect to merge soon.
The Education Association Of
the District, with a white MEM
bership of 1900. already has ap-
proved in principle a plan to
merge with the 900-member COL
ored Columbian Educational As
ISOLATION. The actual merger
may occur by late next month.
Most of the city's other profess
sional educational groups also
expect to be integrated before
the end Of this year. Several
have bi-racial memberships al
ready.
The two educational asSocia-
tions. both affiliates of the Ma
tional Education Association.
have been working on merger
plans for a number Of months.
A year ago. before the Supreme
Court anti-segregation decision.
the two set up a Joint executive
secretaryship and a board Of
control to supervise it, in prep
aration for intended merger.
Work On Constitution
Memberships of both organi-
zations have Endorsed the merger
in polls. but a joint committee
has been working out details of a
new constitution. which must
have formal membership APP
proval.
Building delegates Of the two
organizations are scheduled to
receive the new provisions next
Monday. Once the voting is COM
pleted, the combined member
ships are expected to elect new
officers jointly.
The new organization is to be
called the District of Columbia
Education Association.
Another large white teacher
organization. the Elementary
Classroom Teachers Association
with a membership of 542, also
is currently voting on a consti-
tutional change dropping race
bars. Miss Rose Marie Croccia,
president, said the voting prob
ably will be completed next
month and colored teachers adj
mitted to membership in the fall.
Colored Enrolled
The formerly white High
School Teachers Association has
been enrolling colored members
since December and some Of
them are on the association
governing council. The colored
high school teachers group has
disbanded.
The city's two junior high
teacher organizations also are
working on merger, expected
next fall. Also engaged in mer-
ger negotiations are similar as

schools.

The Kansas Case

Attorney General Harold r
Fatzer informed the court that
the case that originated in To-
peka under a State permissive
law allowing racial segregation
In public elementary schools has
become moot. The city, he said.
is complying in good faith with
the decision against segregation
and might be hampered by any
specific mandate now. He added
the few other Kansas commune
ties which permitted such seq
regation are we'll on the way
toward indignation.
Robert L. Carter, attorney
representing Negro children in
the Topeka case. said he feared
the Topeka plan contained "a
number of jokers." He called
attention to an option provision
somewhat similar to the clause
in the Corning plan here. He
said the Topeka boards provision
relating to children entering
school for the first time next
September might let modified
form of segregation be continued
for several years."
Practically every Justice on
the Supreme Court bench yester-
day took part in the questioning
OF the various lawyers. While
none gave a hint as to his own
possible attitude or approach to
the problems of how and when
to carry out the basic decision,
many requested further informa :
ton or documentary material.
These dealt mainly with school
redistricting. pupil and teacher
re-assignments. and the exact
type and wording Of DEGREES that
the attorneys believed desirable
or necessary.
Chief Justice Warren asked
Mr.. Norman as well as Mr..
Hayes and Mr.. Nabrit to submit
copies of suggested DEGREES in
event that the high court de-
cided to issue orders or to have
lower courts do so. Mr.. Norman,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-12
The District Case

The dispute centered on flu
ture abuses Mr.. Hayes and Mr..
Nabrit said might arise in
administration of provision
whereby, under certain circum-
stances. children could choose
to remain until graduation in
the elementary, junior or high
schools they now attend. Attor-
neys for the Negro children in
the District case said this might
tend to continue some type of
segregation"
They emphasized that they
had no such fears about admin
istration Of the Corning plan by
present officials. But they sug-
gested that a court decree be
issued to make certain that the
option provision never be per-
mitted to be based on race. They
as well as most Of the other at
torneys who spoke yesterday
favored demanding the cases to
the lower Federal courts of ORR
gin for preparation of specific
DEGREES in line with the May II
decision.
Mr.. Norman, declaring that
everyone directly concerned with
operation Of the Districts school
Indignation plan has voiced salts
faction. contended that integra-
ton already is complete. Thus,
he said, there is no need for a
decree.
He insisted that District off,
Gals voluntarily established the
Indignation plan with great ex-
petition and effectiveness. He
protested that my friends on
the other side want some direc-
tive that they can point to, at
some future time and say they
have forced the District Govern
ment to do something they
wanted"
He defended the option pro-
vision as "a question of contin-
uity of education" for the bene-
fit Of individual children. He de-
MED that racial considerations
have anything to do with it.

Department in support Of Mr..
Corsi.
In his strongly-worded letter
to Mr. Dulles, Mr.. Corsi blasted
the "scandalous failures" in the
operation of the refugee relief
program. He said that the fact
that less than 1000 refugees
had been admitted to the United
States in 16 months docs no
credit to the administration and
Injuries severely American pres
tige" abroad.
The program will not work
until you and the administration
are willing to rescue if from the
grip of an intolerant minority
in Congress and within the de-
partment itself. which believes
that in this world there are
superior and inferior races.
These people are sabotaging the
program and have brought about
my elimination from its admin
istration," he wrote.

The State Departments ex-
PLANTATION yesterday said that,
since MI. Corsi did not want to
tackle administrative details. he
was given duties Of "an advisory
and consultative rather than an
administrative or operational
character
After he had completed "the
surveying and advisory task
which had been assigned to
him" the next job was that of
making operations of the refugee
program more effective, the
statement said. This latter task,
it continued. involved much ad-
ministrative detail and "Mr.
Corsi had already indicated his
Discrimination to perform work
of this character"
The department said that un-
der its regulations sit was i'm
possible initially to offer him a
position for longer period than
