The report issued yesterday

who had denounced segregation
in classes on the bases as q
shocking affront to the law
and conscience of our land" II
was issued by Carter L. Burgess
Assistant Secretary of Defense

lon any military post or installa-

through enrolment in courses
conducted during off duty hours,
such courses, of course, being
approved courses offered by ac-
credited institutions (presum-
ably courses on the institutions

The Judge characterized the
boards denial of permission as
unreasonable" and an abuse Of
discretion" His opinion was
handed down in District Court.
Nine-Year Fight
For nine years. Mr.. Lyman
and members of his family have
been seeking permission to
change the character of their
property.
The Board of zoning Adjust
Iment first turned them down in
I1947, although exceptions were
made in the cases of other appli-
Icants.
Mr.. Lyman appealed to the
board again the following year,
and again his plea was rejected.
The board held his plan to
change the apartment house
to an Office building would af-
fleet the character of the neigh
borhood adversely. The board
also cited alleged lack of parking
space and other traffic difficult
ties.
After a third plea was rejected,
Mr.. Hyman sought relief in Fed
leral court.
I The case finally went to the
Court of Appeals which ordered
the board to reconsider its stand
and reopen the proceedings.
l Again the board denied Mr.
Hyman'S application. So Mr.
Hyman again went to court seek
ing mandatory injunction to
force the board to grant him an
exception to the coming laws.
This was, the issue before Judge
Curran yesterday.

District Judge Edward M.
.Curran yesterday ordered the
Board Of Zoning Adjustment to
grant permission to builder
George Lyman to convert an
eight-story apartment building
at 1916 Sixteenth street NV. to
an Office building.
Mr.. Lyman had been turned
down by the board on four previ-
Gus occasions.
The residential character" Of
lower Sixteenth street "has GER
tainly vanished" the judge de-
clared.
Judge Curran cited a number
of exceptions to residential zon-
ing requirements in the area al
ready made by the board.
Not Adapted for Homes
"The very action of the board
has made the neighborhood
no longer adapted for residential
purposes, and so it is not I'M
reasonable to assume that own
ers whose property is still used
for such purposes would even
tually desire to use it in con-
formity with the present char
acter of the neighborhood,' the
jurist wrote.
He pointed out that Office
buildings. hotels and "other non
residential uses now in being or
authorized comprise 85.4 per
cent of the Sixteenth street
frontage between H and NJ
streets NV"
Judge Curran pointed out that
Mr.. Hyman and members of his
family were not asking that

formed into a typical CONNER
