ginia's school segregation report
In 1852 he made a decision
that vitality affected this COM
munity of about 1900 inhabi-

He decided to close down the

among the workers that Mr.
Gray had said, mo damned

factors were the main reasons
he decided to close down.

ON the move except to say:
a.. Due to current economic
conditions, the returns of the
Gray Lumber Co. have been SO
small for its principal stock
holders you might say it has been
operated only. for the benefit of
the community and of its older

Senator Gray sold the operating

hired, MIR. Gray said.

with the Nationwide bank hol-

Jail by these people is-aside
from the overcrowding caused
not benef1ting either the indi-
vidual or the community one
iota, other than insuring that he
won't be on the streets for a
given number of days. Sending
the alcoholic to jail apparently
neither deters others from alco-

rehabilitating the individual"
When a breadwinher is sent
to Jail because he cannot pay a

If the overcrowding continues,
the District faces an outlay Of
I$8 million to $40 million for new
prison space, Mr.. Karrick said.
But he said he is convinced
the penal construction can be
postponed, or even avoided, il
certain conditions prevail. The
conditions would include new
methods Of handling certain
categories of offenders. and ex-
pansion of the probation and
parole facilities. *

This is a plan proposed BY

necessarily be charged on thu

they sobered up, they could sigr
a waiver of a trial and go free

Rifles MISSING
|AtHigh School

Anacostia High School ROTC
officials today reported two rifles
missing from the schools armory
and rifle range.
Capt. Richard H. Miller, in
structor of Military Science at the
school. told police the rifles-N
30 caliber traget rife and a 80
|caliber Army Garand - were
taken or misplaced sometime
after June l.
Capt. Miller said the rifles were
accounted for prior to that date
when $50 ROTC members from
Anacostia High went to Eastern
High School in buses for a cadet
brigade review. The review was
called off because of rain and
the students returned to their
school.
Col. William E. Barkman, pro-
fessor of military science at
Mckinley High School and head
of all high school ROTC train
ing in the District, said the past
school term was a bad year"
for rifle theftS.
He said a Garand rifle was
missing from the Anacostia
armory for week in March, but
was eventually returned. An
other Service-type rifle was lost
or stolen at Bell Vocational
School two months ago. The
school paid the Army for this
weapon.
Capt. Miller said the service
rifles used by cadets do not have
firing pins. However, the 90
Icaliber rifle was in good firing
order when stolen or lost, he
said.
All rifles regularly used by
.ROTC units here are the prop
Ierty Of the Army and are checked
out to students who are then
responsible for the weapons. He
said the two missing rifles had
not been checked out to stu
dents.
