Central Office
Study to Take
About Month
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

Federal officials have promised
to complete. by next week. the
first step in handling Washing
tons application for Federal
funds to carry out the huge Area
C Southwest redevelopment
project.
The application, which asks for
a Federal loan Of $84 million and
a Federal grant reservation" Of
about $50 million, has been under
study since May in the Housing
and Home Finance Agency's
Philadelphia regional office.
At a conference with HHFA
regional officials, District leaders
reported yesterday, the Philadel-
Iphia officials said they would for
ward the application on to the
HHFA Washington office by the
end Of next week.
Several Weeks for Review
The central Washington office
is expected to spend three or
four weeks in a review before tax.
ing final action.
Participating in the conference
were John r. Searles. jr., District
Redevelopment Land Agency di-
rector; Assistant District Engi-
neer Commissioner Robert
Mathe, and Warren Phelan and
Anthony Murray of the HHFA
Philadelphia Office.
Mr.. Searles said he understood
the HHFA regional Offices rou-
timely take about four months
to review redevelopment appli-
cations-which does not make
the Area c project an unusual
case.
This is especially so, he said,
because the Area c project is by
far the largest and most expen-
sive ever proposed under the
urban redevelopment program.
The Area C project covers 442
acres of the southwest water
front between Independence ave-
nue. and Washington Channel.
The redevelopment plan was
drawn largely by the New York
flrm of William Zeckendorf,
which expects to participate
largely in the rebuilding.
d. C. Must Act
The District Commissioners
also must approve the Official
plan before further progress can
be made. The city heads held
public hearing on it. MaNh6l4,
but have delayed action until
the HHFA acted.
Part Of the Federal loan re-
quested to carry out the Area C
program would be repaid by
funds from private investors
who viii buy or lease the Area C
land for rebuilding in accordance
with the plan. The remainder
would be paid of by the Federal
grant requested.
Col. Mathe, meanwhile, re-
ported that the HTIFA regional
office also expects to send its
Washington Office within the
next few weeks recommended
tons on District requests for
two other urban renewal" plan
ming studies.
One is the 44-acre Foggy
Bottom area, and the other is
a 151-acre section surrounding
the George Washington Univer-
sity.
In each of these cases District
officials have not yet determined
whether to go ahead with Eur
ban renewal" projects, but are
simply requesting Federal funds
to make studies, officials said.

Brought Problems
But despite the preparations,
Mrs. Wells told the investigators
indignation has meant problems
for her school.
In the 1954-5 school year, the
school had 10 per cent colored
pupils. Last year, the total was
As per cent. She said she did
not yet know the proportion this
year.
Mrs. Wells account of difficult
ties differed from the testimony
of several other principals who
have appeared before the House
group. She said her school is
still controlled" and that be-
havior problems have not, for
the most part, caused her to call
for the help of police.
One exception. she said, was
an incident this week, in which
an 11th-grade white youth was
set upon on the school grounds
after school hours by three col
ored boys, who demanded a dime.
The youths lip was cut open
when he was hit by one OF the
three, Mrs. Wells said
Behavior Problems
But the Roosevelt principal
said behavior problems increased
with the arrival of the colored
students.
She said there were frequent
reports of foul language. imper-
thence to teachers and belliger-
ence on the part of the new
corners.
Some are small things" she
said in answer to an inquiry
from Representative Williams as
to the ways in which belliger-
ence showed itself.
"a Negro girl will stand in
the aisle and dare a white girl
to pass her." she said. "Or walk
ing down the hall stepping on
their heels"
She said the school had an
unprecedented number OF OBJ
scene words and pictures on
walls, splitting, thefts of food in
the cafeteria and, loss and wear
and tear on books. She pointed
out the building is also used as
a night and summer school and
recreation center, however.
Two custodians were assigned
to guard against the lunchroom
thefts, she said. Indecent re-
marks made at girl cheerleaders
at games-plus a fight incident
between team members at a
basketball game cause a
change to boy cheerleaders.
Dances Dropped
Mrs. Wells said she dropped
all school dances and dramatics
when integration began. Even
last years all-white graduating
class had no prom.
II felt we had to take every
step possible to avoid trouble"
she explained.
The Roosevelt principal said
what disturbed her most, how
ever, was the antagonistic atti-
tude of many of the Negro chill
dren.
Many of them show belliger-
ence, sullenness, impertinence
and aggreSsiveness for which !
can see no reason whatever" she
declared.
She said a number of colored
girls wanted to go back to
colored schools, and one Negro
boy also was transferred at his
own wish, with approval of a
city psychiatrist. About 80 white
students we're similarly trans
ferred to all-white schools. she
said.
She explained the school
system permits such transfers,
without regard to boundary
rules. where a child lis emo
tionally disturbed by an inte-
grated situation and must be
removed from it.
Points to Parents

parents In connection with the
attitude Of colored students.

that all sides are interested in

Commended for Testimony
Both Chairman Davis and Mr..
Williams commended her testi-
mony. Mr.. Williams said:
"If you ever decide to leave
the District, l would be delighted
to have you teach my children
down in Mississippi"
One of the witnesses yesterday
was Mrs. Helen Ingrick, a teach
er for many years in the public
school system who had service at
the Emery School. She said she
did not think indignation in the
public school here was a success
1t was brought out under ex-
animation that Mrs. Ingrick had
two daughters who had attended
local schools. One Of them had
been at Taft Junior High School
land the other at Mckinley High
School.
She said she moved out of the
District and that her daughters
are now attending schools in
Oxon Hill, Md.
In answer to why she had
moved, Mrs. Ingrick said she felt
her daughters could learn better
there"
Other witnesses were Theodore
lG. Miles, teacher here for %
years and now at Armstrong
High School, and Miss Edna
Gray, principal of the Monroe
Laboratory School, associated
with the District Teachers Col
Ilege.
"Track" Plan Disclosed
Earlier, Cedric o. Reynolds,
principal of Calvin Coolidge High
School, described a new plan
under which beginning students
in his school are being assigned
this fall to four different
tracks"
Mr.. Broyhill, a signer of the
so-called Southern manifesto
against school indignation, asked
whether the plan described by
Mr.. Reynolds was not form

grouping school children ION

nation"
Mr.. Reynolds agreed that it
was.
Mr.. Reynolds School has an

students last year.
Committee Counsel William
Gerber asked how the colored
students compared with the
white In their school work. Mr..
Reynolds said that on the aver
age they rated lower.
Laid to Economic Background
The median 10. score at Cool
idge is ITO. Mr.. Reynolds said
the median for last year S 20
colored students was 92.5.
l The Coolidge principal testi-
fled that the school achieve
ment of the colored pupils COR
related on the average with their
economic background, which he
said was high in some cases and
low in others.
Representative Williams in
quired:
How did children of high
Income status compare with che
white children of the same
status?"
They did not do as WE'LL
Mr.. Reynolds replied.
!, The principal said Coolidge
has a high scholastic standing
with its students averaging
above national medians on most
tests. Washington students on
a city-wide basis recently have
averaged below the national
medians.
I Asked what effect Indignation
had had on discipline and So
cial activities, he said none.
"Our social life has continued

The Fish and Wildlife Service

The animals are surplus to the

Director John L. Farley said
this seasons disposal program is
larger than usual for several
reasons:
The herds have reached their

In selling the animals. the
service gives preference to ap-
