City Commissions
Thinks Indignation
Has Worked Here

Commissioner David Karrick
regards the Congressional in
vestigation of District schools as
debated and unnecessary"
Appearing with Commissioner
Robert Mclaughlin on Joseph
McCaffrey's Celebrity Parade"
on WMAL-TV yesterday. Com
missioner Karrick said he did not
know the motivations behind the
House District Committees in
vestigation.
He said Indignation of the Dis
trict schools is going into its
third year and "it seems to me
the investigation is belated and
unnecessary" He added that tie
Commissioners will certainly CO.
operate, however.
Commissioner Mclaughlin said
that to the extent the investiga-
ton brings out the facts, it will
be helpful.
Sees IntegratiOn Working
ITO the extent it might at
tempt to justify prejudice
don't say it will, but it did-it
obviously would not be helpful, !"
said Commissioner Mclaughlin.
He went on to say that the
coming of integrated schools has
shown up the fact that half the
District students were receiving
Subnormal training" He said it
has been amply demonstrated
that the colored schools were not
kept up to the standard of the
white ones.
Both Commissioners expressed
the belief that Indignation has
worked here.
Both of them also listed more
school construction as the city's
greatest future need. Both pre-
Idicted that before long, the city
will have to spend a lot of money
on school building, particularly
las the size of classes is reduced.

Movement Watched Closely
Mr.. Karrick responded that
the tendency of many profess
lsional and trade organizations to
center their activities in Wash
Iington will counterfeit to large
extent the removal of some Gov
Iernment employees from the
Washington scene.
He predicted that this trend
will increase as the Federal Gov
ernment enters more deeply into
the economic and professional
phases of life.
/ Commissioner Mclaughlin said
the administration is watching
closely the question of keeping
buildings located in the city. He
said if there is a reversal of the
policy Of leaving most Govern
ment agencies in the city, I'VE
might have trouble"
He was asked whether he
thought the Federal Govern
ment's present $40 million con-
tribution to District expenses was
enough. He replied that If this
were an ordinary city. an ade-
quate share would be $35 million
but because Of the extra services
required of a Nations Capital
even $35 million is not enough.
