Probe Studies Extra Jobs
OF District Inspectors
Investigation
By House Unit
Authorized

A subcommittee of the House
District Committee, it devel.
oped today. has been invests
eating part-tinne jobs held By
city government inspectors.
The subcommittee has been
authorized to make an invests
cation of the Districts public
water works program, the Dis
trict revenue laws and Health
Department matters.
Representative Davis, Demo-
|crat of Georgia, chairman Of
the subcommittee, repeatedly
wrote to the District Commits
sioners recently inquiring as to
outside work BY some inspec-
tors. He was advised by COM
missioner Robert E. McLaugh-
! lin, president of the board, that
the District did not bar outside
jobs for inspectors so long SIS
the position Of the District gov
Iernment was not compromised.
This may have stemmed from
an action taken recently by DR..
Daniel l.. Finucane, the new di-
rector Of the Health Depart
ment, reminding employees Of
the department of the provi-
sions of the D. c. personnel
manual.
DR.. Finucane said today this
amounted to advising the em-
ployes to use their intelligence
and discretion in any of their
outside contacts.
Reason for Memo
Asked why he had sent out
the memo, DR.. Finucane said
it was because he had learned
one Of the food inspectors had
engaged in making some repairs
to the physical plant of q
wholesaler about which the IN
spector had made recommends
lions.
DR.. Finucane said that so far
as he knew that situation had
been cleared up.
Il am not concerned about
this at this time" he added.
There also have been re-
ported cases of one or two
District housing inspectors who
repeatedly were the owners Of
rooming houses. There was no
official statement as to whether
any agent of the Davis Subcoril-
mittee has been looking into
this.

Exposure to mass information
media originating in other parts
of the nation tends to diminish
Southern opposition to desegrega-
ton, it was reported today. A
survey conducted by Princeton
University's Woodrow Wills o n
School CT Public and International
Affairs found that whites who read
newspapers and magazines, lis
tened to the radio and watched
teleyision were more sympathetic
to the Northern point of view than
persons who lived in isolation.
D. Melvin Tumin, Professor in
the Department Of Economies and
Sociology, reported on the survey
in the current issue of Public
Opinion Quarterly.
Some 800 whites were inter-
viewed, according to DR.. Tumin.
They were. asked their views on
such questions as the capacities
and traits of a Negro, and their
willingness to send white children
to the same school as Negroes.
f"Of the 10 respondents who
listened to the radio news analysts,
some eighty-nine, or 800 per cent,
most frequently tuned in to a ma
tional hook-up originating in a
Northern state DR.. Tumin noted
Of the television viewers, 81 pei
cent watched national as opposed
to regional news commentators.

Hamilton Sings
During Shooting

st. Louis - Remaining calm at
the microphone when gunfire in
the balcony of the Kiel Auditorium
interrupted his act, singer Roy
Hamilton was credited by police
with helping to avert a king sized
riot among 1000 spectators at his
rock and roll show.
An argument between two pa
irons in the balcony grew into a
fight which ended when one of the
men pulled his gun and fired wild
ly. Before the sound of battle
had ended one man was dead and
two women were slightly wound
ed. The gunman and his female
companion escaped in the crowd by
time police arrived.
Later in his dressing room,
Hamilton said that he recognized
the pistol shots the minute he
heard them ring out. Instantly the
thought, he said, flashed through
his mind that he should make a
slight joke about the drummer
playing too loud, signal his pian-
list to resume playing and continue
with his songs. ss
This he did and one of the cops
on the scene said that it was re-
sponsible for the crowds atten-
ton being diverted from the ruckus
upstairs back to the center of the
stage and Hamilton.
Since the Kiel was packed the
police said that any general rush
for the exits would have resulted
in a stampede with many probably
getting trampled to death.
On 20 day one-night tour Ham,
ilton's show has been playing to
capacity audiences nitely. Frank
Sands at the Gale booking agency
said that on the strength of this
shows success more extensive
one is being arranged for Hamil-
ton later in the year. This is his
first junket since his recent ILL
ness from which he recovered.
