Although the new groups top

tion to the idea before Gov. Nc
Keldin made it a formal re-
quest, the Governor said he did
not expect them ito investigate
the commission or its employees

Harry J. Green, Baltimore

ing where considered other gen.
Ieral problems in assigning chill
dren to schools. All committee
members were in favor of con-
tinuing the present policy of
fixed school boundaries.
The committee pointed out
that its proposed program of
community education on de-
Isegration probably will be most
necessary in areas of greater
density of Negro population and
those of lower economic level.
Timing at Issue
The committee also found, in
survey of county residents,
that "a substantial majority of
the white group felt that a grad
ual program-l2-year or some
other variation-was to be pre-
Iferred."
Nearly all Negro groups con-
.tacted wanted desegregation i'm
mediately.
''In only one area-a mixed
community in the southern part
Iof the county-was there any
expression from Negro group
against desegregation," the re-
port said.
The report includes a state
Iment from DR.. Edward Davens,
chief of the Bureau of Preven-
tive M e dicine of the State
Health Department:
I'm general, studies have
shown with respect to differences
in incidence between whites and
Nergoes that in most commu-
Inicable diseases, rates among
Negro persons tend to be the
same as among white persons of
comparable social, economic and
educational levels"
Scholastic Comparisons
A statement from DR.. Evelyn
Perloff, supervisor of tests and
measurements in the county
school system, revealed that
both white and Negro students
in the county performed about
average in the lower grades, but
fell below average at the upper
grades.
At all grades and on all tests,
the white groups performed bet
ter than the Negro groups.
She pointed out, however, that
studies made in other parts of
the country reveal that, as the
Socio-economic status improves,
the level of achievement, ire
spective of race, also rises.

This was announced last night
by the Justice Department. which

The department acknowled dyed
that under the present program,
as limited by Public Law 1885,

Studied 10 Months
It is known that this recon-
mendation has been under study
for nearly 10 months in the off
nee of Assistant Attorney Gem
eral william r. Tompkins, the
head Of the Internal Security
Division.
At iirSt it was thought the
change could be made BY amend
ing Executive Order lOz6O. which
set up the security program, but
further study convinced Justice
that the law would have 70 be-
amended.
Many critics Of the security
program have pointed to this
automatic suspension without
pay As one Of It's most glaringl
faults.
Former Senator Harry Cain, an
Eisenhower appointee to the
Euhyersive Activities ControlI
Board. has stated that slack Of
discretion in PL 1888 has caused
needless injustices and been re-
sponsible for much Of public'sl

COLLEGE EXAM PROGRAM
The Civil Service Commission
has announced major changes in
the Governments college @level
examination program. ECSC
chairman Philip Young said the
commission will replace its nu-
merous college-level exams al
most entirely by a single Gov
ernment entrance exam, start
ing about October Is. The new
exam will test applicants for a
large number of Federal Jobs
and will be open continuously
for those who wish to apply.
Mr.. Young said the exam will
be open to all persons whose
experience will qualify them for
any Of the wide range of pro-
lfessions and occupations covered
by the exam. as well as to those
who can substitute education for
experience:
Thus, those with at least
bachelors degrees will be ELI
Igible to take the test regardless
OF what their specialized educa-
tional background may be- Mr..
Young said. 80 will college
seniors studying for degrees"
The new exams greatly
broaden opportunities for those
seeking management intern
ships in the Federal service, the
Csc chief said. It replaces the
junior management assistant
exam for internships, which had
rigid qualification standards.
Under the new system, anyone
who can qualify for the Federal
service entrance exam may try
for an internship at the same
time by electing to answer some
additional written and oral test
questions.
Essentially what we want
is the type of college-caliber
person who will demonstrate, by
passing the examination that
he has the ability to fit in j any
one Of number of possibl& Fed-
eral positions" Mr.. Young de-
clared. I'VE think that greater
use Of such persons throughout
the Federal service will add up
to a material improvement in
governmental operations which
taxpayers and citizens will not
be slow to appreciate"
Mr.. Young predicted the new
exam will show results quickly"
He estimated that between 5000
to 1000 college-caliber people
will be attracted to Government
annually, compared to the pres
lent $500 figure. ag

countries which do not require
passports and no action was
taken on this possibility.
