lawsuits figured in the Supreme
Courts anti-segregation deci-
sion. It was eight days after
the decision in May. 1854, that
the Board of Education decided
TO go ahead with the present in
tegration program.
Mr., Gerber, in discussing the
achievement gap between white
and colored pupils, asked
whether DR.. Corning had been
trying to keep this from the
public"
Won't Release Scores
DR.. Corning denied this, as
serting he is willing to make
public overall summaries for the
city, although not the test scores
at individual schools.
! Mr.. Gerber quoted from a
newspaper story in which DR..
Corning was reported to have
said that he did not favor dis
closure of the test results on a
racial basis because it might
cause difficulty in connection
with desegregation.
II don't recall making any
reference to desegregation," DR..
Corning replied. He added, how
ever, that he was sure he did
admit the scores of the colored
children were lower.
Gould it have caused diff
Guilty in desegregation?" asked
Mr.. Gerber.
1T might have, by pitting one
race against another and in
creasing racial tension, maybe, !"
DR.. Corning responded.
did you take that into &C
count at the time the School
Board integrated the schools?"
Mr.. Gerber asked.
yes, sir" replied the super
intendent.
Feelings Very Strong
Mr.. Gerber asked. whether DR..
Corning, at the time Of integra-
ton. had felt there was a great
feeling against it.
Yes, there was strong feeling
against it and a very strong
feeling for it, too"
why were you so interested
in withholding from the public
and the press these achievement
tests? On the ground you felt
the ordinary layman would mis-
interpret them? asked Mr.. Ger
Der.
DR.. Corning replied that was
one reason.
Don't you think the public
has a right to know what's going
on in the school SYSTEM" the
counsel inquired.
Most things, sir" DR.. Corning
answered. He added, however,
that he was opposed to pitting
one teacher or building against
another. Last week Mr.. Gerber
made public a series of achieve
ment test results naming in
dividual schools. The school
system recently adopted code
to prevent such disclosures.
Not His Reason
When Mr.. Gerber suggested
that DR.. Corning didn't want
the public to know how badly off
you were" the school superin-
tendent made an emphatic
denial.
THAT was not my reason in
any way whatsoever"
The subcommittee today re-
ceived a letter from the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations. 1t
said school indignation here was
precipitous and came as a shock.
The associations letter also
made these points:
Hope was expressed that the
subcommittee would obtain all
the facts so that corrective ac-
ton could be taken. In general
the subcommittee was COM
mended for its efforts to obtain
information regarding integra-
ton.
Teachers we're thanked for
giving information fearlessly.

A cab driver, peering hap

Hurricane Flossy, told his
passenger: Il usually 60 home

ACTUALLY. THE BRIDGE

ACTUALLY, THE BRIDGE
named for Montgomery Cum
bingham Meigs is just short
stones throw from the one
mentioned by Miss Smith.
It's the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. bridge over Rock Creek
and the Rock Creek and Po-
tomac Parkway. 1t was built
originally around 1860 and
1861 when Meigs, then a cap
tain in the Corps of Engi-
neers, was supervising the
building of the acqueduct
from Great Falls.
A newspaper item in 1860
said this of the bridge:
"The aqueduct bridge over
Rock Creek is the connecting
link between Georgetown and
the city at the west end of
Pennsylvania avenue. 1t rests
on a double main of water
pipes of AZ inches diameter
each, over which is erected
the bridge. The abutments
and roadway is all that is now
required to make it passable
for travel between the two
cities, which will without
doubt be done soon in 1861"
The water pipes, a part of
the aqueduct bringing water
to Washington, were, and are,
features of the bridge.
When the present single
span concrete arch was built
there in 1916, all of the old
bridge was torn down except
the cast iron water mains.

take their proud place among
world powers Of the magnitude OF
the United States. Soviet Russia
and. some day, surely China and
India.
Imagine for an instant that the
United States is not one nation
in which goods pass freely from
State of State, but is instead an
area in which there are "a
separate countries, each erecting
trade barriers against the other
and each trying to be self con-
tanned"
Problem b Outlined
Imagine how that would cut
into the ability of each State to
produce to its limit, how it would
lower the quality and raise the
prices Of goods, how it would
generally restrict living stand
ards.
This is not o too exaggerated
picture Of Europe today. High
tariff walls separate the leading
nations; each country is q small
market, each surrounds itself
with q maze Of restrictions.
And this is 50 even though
six nations Of Europe have since
World War II banded together
to form the Coal and Steel Com
munity.

HOW | TALKED
Myself into
$4,000
By q Wall Street Journal
Subscriber

In meetings with business associ-
ates and customers ! used to be
the silent one. used to "clam up"
when the talk turned to politics or
economics. All / could talk about
was sports.
Then l started reading The Wall
Street Journal. 1t gave me an I'M
derstanding Of what goes on in the
world. l learned about the changes
taking place in Ameriea-new in
ventions, new industries, new ways
to earn money. In conversations
with other men / found could in
terpret business and government
trends a little better than they
could. They wondered where I got
my 'inside dope"
As result, gained confidence
in talking with people. My boss
gave me more important assign
ments. And my income increased.
Last year | earned $4,000.
This story is typical. II you
think The Wall Street Journal is
just for millionaires,y ouare
wrong. The Journal helps salaried
men making $1,000 to $4,000 q
year. 1t is valuable to small BUSH
nessmen. 1t can be of enormous
benefit to the ambitious young man
who wants to win advancement.

For the first time in history,
the signals are flying high that
it actually is going to happen
and happen during the next 10 to
Is years, during our generation.
We are going to see a United
States of Western European
area at first economically in
tegrated and then. to a major
extent. politically integrated.
We are going to see a single
market" across the Atlantic
holding $40 million people against
our mass market Of close to ITO
million.
We are going to see an eco
nomic bloc Of nations capable Of
producing goods and in time by
buying goods on a scale never
before known.
We are going to see, in short.
a European mass market on the
pattern Of the United States
market-an historic achievement
indeed.
The process that is now begin
ming will be slow and tortuouS.
There will be disheartening set
backs in the negotiations and the
reactions Of those watching will
swing from elation to hopeless
ness.
BritOn Is Quoted
But as one informed British
source put it to me 1T will come
about; it is inevitable. It's q ire
mendously exciting movement,
and the achievement will go
down in history as the great con-
tribution of this British govern
ment to the world"
In this quotation is the key
reason for the excitement. For
until this moment. Britain has
been unwilling to join France and
West Germany in working for
economic unity because Of her
obligations to the Common
wealth. Now. though, she has
officially abandoned her aloof
attitude.
For Britain too is at last con-
WINGED that If the powers OF
Western Europe do not unite into
an economic unit. they face a
gradual decline into a group Of
second-rate and third-rate coun-
tries.
But If they do unite, they not
only can survive but also can
