diary rules that now enforce in
Itegration.
i DR.. Hansen explained that
some children whose parents car
present a legitimate reason
Iother than race-have been al
lowed to attend schools outside
1.-THE zones in which they live. In
some cases this has permitted
youngsters to avoid attending
schools occupied predominantly
|by the opposite race.
Reasons for Transfers
/ Children have been allowed
Ito transfer for such reasons as
being insecure, worried about
going to school, missing friends
Tor being otherwise emotionally
upset, DR.. Hansen said. A doc
tors certificate and some times
Ian examination by a Health De-
Ipartment psychiatrist are gen.
orally required in such cases, he
said.
i DR.. Hansen's advocacy Of cas-
ling the rules followed questioning
from Representative Williams
as to whether the school admin
,Iistrator favored forced integra-
/ tion."
i DR.. Hansen did not answer
this question directly. He said
The did not know quite what Mr.
Williams meant.
| "I believe no child should bt
.ldenied admission to a schoo
because Of race" the school OH
lcial said.
\ Mr.. Williams asked whether
IDr. Hansen believed a child
should be required to go to an
integrated school against his
Wishes. DR.. Hansen replied. in
effect. that in the District there
lis no alternative.
Choice Issue Raised
4 The Mississippi legislator then
, asked if DR.. Hansen didn't think
Tit would have been better If the
: District had allowed pupils more
personal choice in selecting
schools.
It was at this point that DR..
Hansen declared himself fol
more recognition Of individual
rIneeds.r He also used the phrase
! increased flexibility." He die
mot elaborate.
The cityis present system Of
|, strict school boundaries-undel
|, which children for the most part
must enroll in the school zone
i'm which they live, regardless Of
'lrace-and the handling Of spe-
lcial transfer requests were ques-
toned closely.
4 Counsel William Gerber, re-
sferring to the school systems
refusal to grant special transfers
on the sole grounds of race, asked
whether DR.. Hansen could point
tito any other city with the same
strict rules. :

to meet such problems more eff
fectively, however, if there had
been more effort to acuuaint
teachers with them before inte-
grafton. One thing that would
have helped would have been
extensive citywide tests, she said.
She said it had been mot I'M
usual for colored children to
come into formerly all-white
schools with AS and BIS and to
be found on an achievement
level considerably inferior, on
the basis of white standards.
But then, it's understandable.
If you are completely disassoci-
ated from one another it is very
difficult to have the same stand
ards
Restraining" Advocated
She praised what she termed
the magnificent performance
and wonderful spirit" of both
colored and white teachers. But
she said the school system ur-
gently needs more supervisors
for "retraining" colored teachers
who have not been up to needed
standards. She also urged smaller
classes.
She said Washington is trying
to do with seven supervisors what
Baltimore feels requires rs.
Mrs. Cramer said that she was
not surprised at the difference
between some colored teachers
and those of the white schools.
She pointed out that colored per-
sons in Washington for many
years were denied opportunities
readily available to white
people. such as attending white
theaters and concert halls.
She said the city is having diff
f1culties attracting competent
teachers. There is now a major
lily Of colored teachers, she added.
But she said she thought one Of
the reasons for the shortage of
new recruits is the publicity about
alleged lowered standards, and
she also noted that the teacher
shortage is Nationwide.
Mrs. Cramer said she did not
feel that white children from
good homes have been hurt by
Indignation.
She also said she did not feel
THAT keeping records by race
now banned by the school board
would be of any particular
value to her.
Birth Statistics Offered
Howard West of the District
Health Department. gave the
subcommittee some statistics on
lillegitimate births. Last year,
the city had 3,151 non-white
Iillegitimate births, compared with
1872 white, among resident
mothers.
Asked by Representative Will
IliamS, Democrat of Mississippi.
whether it would be accurate to
say that about one Of every four
young non-white school children
Twas illegitimate, Mr.. West re-
lplied:
IT would say that is close"
Mr.. West also supplied sta
Itistics showing more cases Of
gonorrhea among non-white
youths than among white.
DR.. Carl F. Hansen. assistant
superintendent in charge Of the
lcity's high schools, yesterday
told the subcommittee, which
Operates under Chairman Davis,
Democrat of Georgia:
I'm personally in favor Of an
Increased recognition of indivi-
dual needs" He added:
