Edmund F. Mansure believes
Government insurance business
should go to persons friendly
to the Republican, party" But
he denied he had recommended
any particular firm for the in
surance business in connection
with a Government construction
job in Cuba.
The head OF the General Serv-
ices Administration called a
news conference last night after
the question of the insurance
contract had been raised in a
House investigation.
There was testimony that Mr.
Mansure had urged that the in
surance business on the SAB mil
lion nickel plant expansion at
Nicaro. Cuba, be given to William
y. Balmer, Republican politi-
clan in Chicago.
There was also testimony that
I"half the cabinet" had recon-
Imended companies for the Nicaro
construction job.
Urged Western Firm
Contending he had not recon-
mended ANY particular firm"
for the insurance. Mr.. Mansure
said he had urged the selection
iof a Western insurance broker,
one who lis friendly to the
party" He told newsmen he
also said people out West were
sick and tired of all that bust
ness going to Eastern brokers,
particularly to New York
brokers'
He said he regarded insurance
business such as GSA can place
as part of the patronage system.
Sucn business has long been used
as "a political payoff" in places

Ar|inqton BoardVotes
To Begin |ntegration
Grade School
Program Will
Open in Fall

The Arlington School Board
today voted to end segregation
in county schools. provided the
State permits it. The boards
policy makes it possible, how
ever, for parents who object to
indignation to send their chill
dren to non-integrated public
schools in the county.
School officials said that COLI
ored children live in Is of the
lcounty's 80 elementary school
districts. All but about so OF
the Negro students live in Negro
elementary school areas.
The new policy would go into
effect in elementary schools next
September. Indignation of junior
high schools would follow in
1857, and high schools in 1858.
The board expects that at least
one junior high and one high
school would be for white stu
dents only.
Transport Up to Parents
Parents would be responsible
for transportation of their chill
dren to schools outside the dis
trict where they live.
The new policy depends on
enactment of the Gray plan by
the General Assembly and also
on the State Department of Ed
ucation giving its approval, the
board statement said.
Supt. T. Edward Rutter said
no tuition grants would be paid
because no child would be re-
CURED to attend an integrated
school.
! Board members and the super
intendent repeatedly emphasized
that the policy is based OH an
assumption and that Arlington
would comply with whatever ac-
.ticn is taken by the State.
! do What State Requires"
/ I'VE will do precisely what the
State requires" Mr.. Rutter said.
i Meeting at the Langston
School for colored children be-
fore a mixed audience of about
$50 parents. the board agreed to
the three-sten program at the
request of Mr.. Rutter.
In presenting his recommends
ton. Mr.. Rutter declared:
1T would have been infinitely
more easy for me and my staff
and the School Board simply to
say nothing. -" He labeled the
recommendation "a courageous
statement :. . fair and frank. :"
I First to Adopt Program
! The members of Virginia's
only elected School Board are
the first in the State to adopt
a desegregation program.
I The recommendation by Mr..
Rutter was announced yesterday
in the wake of closed night
meeting by school officials and
their Citizens Advisory Com
mittee on Indignation.
/ The policy statement adopted
today did not attempt to spell
out which schools would be
iintegrated.
/ However, if elementary school
boundary lines remain un-
changed. a maximum of Is
white schools could receive
Negro children.

Museum Site
Hunt 10 Go On
Smithsonian Regents
Will Continue Efforts

The Smithsonian Institution
Board Of Regents has agreed to
continue efforts to find site
for the proposed National All
Museum which will not conflict
with plans for Southwest Wash
ington redevelopment.
After a meeting yesterday. one
member of the board reported
the regents again expressed
preference for their original site, >
but also expressed hope that a
satisfactory alternate location
can be found.
The original site" is on Tenth
street S.W.. just south of indie
pendence avenue. This location
however, clashes directly with
the Zeckendorf proposal for a
broad South Mali to serve as
an entranceway to the new
Southwest.
Original Contention Stressed
The Smithsonian board men,
Der, who asked that he not be
identified. stressed that I'VE have
maintained right along that the
original site is the best one"
But we don't want it to APP
pear that we are blocking any
of the city and hope
was expressed that some other
site could be found" he added.
The member emphasized that
the board discussion left the
matter completely OPEN"
Representative Cannon. DEM
ocrat of Missouri. another board
declared: There was
no official action. But the gen.
eral impression was that the in
stitution did not want to inter-
fere unnecessarily with any de-
velopment. Nothing was said
about what would be done"
Robert V. Fleming. chairman
of the boards executive commit
tee, also stressed that I'VE simply
reviewed our position and nc
new action was taken"
The sentiments expressed were
similar to those in a letter to the
National Capital Planning Com
mission two months ago from
Mr.. Fleming.
Then Mr.. Fleming specifically
suggested an alternate location
but it failed to get the planners
support because it involved a
closing of Maryland avenue S.W
Site Outside Southwest Asked
At its last meeting the plan
ming commission failed to pro-
pose a new location for the mu-
scum, but specifically asked the
Smithsonian to find a site out
side of Southwest Washington
to house the vast aircraft col
lection.
In another matter yesterday
the regents indicated they want
the New York architectural firm
of McKim, Mead g. White to de-
sign the proposed Museum OF
History and Technology, This
structure, the next museum to be
built in Washington, will be To-
Gated on the south side of Con-
stitution avenue between Twelfth
and Fourteenth streets NV.
One member of the board. Sen
ator Smith. Republican Of New
Jersey. said the support affirmed
an earlier action" in favor of the
New York firm. He said he knew
nothing about a report that the
Republican National Committee
and the General Services Admin
istration had asked that a Chi
Icago firm be given the design
ing job.

Chairman George E. C. Hayes informed Congress
that public-authority operation of transit was
being considered for Washington. He told the
lawmakers
"In Cleveland, Chicago and Toronto public
authorities provide modern, efficient, progressive
and financially-sound mass transportation
services"
To find out how those authorities work, The
Star sent Sunday Editor William Hines to the
cities mentioned by Mr.. Hayes. Are these publicly
operated lines really successful? Do they pay their
own way, or do the taxpayers help? Can one be

Hosmer said the survey had
been conducted under his direc-
ton in the states of Alabama,

1.-THE Bureau Of Reclamation
would have us believe that we must
spend billions to develop projects
like the Upper Colorado in order
to provide food and fiber for our
growing population.
"That simply is not true. On
the presently producing farm lands
we are growing so much food and
fiber that we cannot find adequate
space to store it. Despite plans
for reducing this output, we are
faced again this year with enor-
nous SURPRISES, in some products
record yields.
Each year new methods are re-
ported for increasing per acre
yields. ~
"Yet the Bureau of Reclamation
would have Congress appropriate
billions of dollars for such unnec-
essary and wasteful projects as
that proposed in the Upper Colo
RADIO Basin. This p-oject alone
would saddle a new 81 billion tax
loss on the Nations taxpayers.
The four states benefiting would
pay less than two percent of the
cost. Taxpayers of the other "a
states would have to pay the bal
ance"
The cost of bringing the millions
OF acres of good farm land now
idle into full production would
run from only SIS to $3.50 an acre,
Hosmer said.
Compare that with the $4,000
an acre cost of building the Upper
Colorado Project" he added, "and
you see how inconceivable the Rec
lamation Bureaus scheme is.
Bringing into production the good
lands now idle in the East, Mid
west and South would cost the
taxpayers nothing. In the Upper
Colorado Project the taxpayers
would have to pay not only the
excessive cost Of building the irri-
cation projects, the roads, schools
and other necessary community
projects, but then the taxpayers
would have to substitute the crops
that would be grown, such as dairy
products, grains and wool. The
whole thing is nothing short of
economic idiocy."
