New York School, Probe Used To Aid

The Brooklyn grand jury in

segregation as a justification of
an archaic pattern of education
and as an argument against COM
plianee with the United States
Supreme Court decision banning
segregation in public education"

charges in a board resolution re-
leased in New York this week.
The resolution, adopted at the
regular monthly meeting of the
Associations board of directors
on Feb. 10 and made public this
week by DIR. Charming Fl. Tobias
board chairman, condemns any
type of investigation which mere
ly furnishes grist for the propa-
ganda mills of those whose prime
purpose is to discredit indignation
in public education"
The complete text of the reso-
luton follows:
The Board of Directors of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People is
distressed by the manner in which
the grand jury investigating the
public schools of Brooklyn has
exploited the natural concern of
the people of this city for the
welfare of their children. What
purported to be an investigation
of the schools has turned out to
be an attack upon the citys en-
tire educational system with thin
ly yelled overtones of racial pre-
judice.
Under the impact of this attack
a distinguished educator has been
driven to end his life and the
school board intimidate into an
ill-considered mass purge of al
legged troub1e-makers without
prior hearing for each individual
case. The NAACP is as concerned
as the Board of Education that
the innocent be protected from
the violent; but it is also concern
ed that each accused be granted
the traditional American right to
"a fair hearing before being pena-
lied The summary suspension of
alleged trouble-makers is not only
unfair but also in violation of the

Of a prominent newspaper man who later
became private secretary to United States
senator from California. university in
that State is named for the senator-as is
the boy in the picture.
This native Washingtonian was born
July 20, 1893. From his first days at old
Berrett Elementary land later at the three
high schools he misunderstanding, Busi-
ness, and CentraD he was in hot water for
skipping school, His mind was on show busi-
ness and sports. He bowled, played basket
ball and won roller skating and ice skating
contests.
Accompanied by his brother, who played
the ukelele and mouth organ, he sang In
minstrel shows. His interest In show busi-
ness hourished when, as a steady free Gus
toner, he frequented the old Chase'S Theater
which once stood on Pennsylvania avenue
at Fifteenth street NV. His grandmother,
who ran the famous Crosby House on the
present site of the Municipal Building, Third
and c streets NV, gave him passes she re-
ceived for billboard poster space on her
fence In later years, this amateur song
and dance man performed at smokers and
banQuets, and did a special act with the
Woodward b Lothrop choral group.
In his youth, baseball transcribed all
other interests of this one-time Al-High
first baseman. He went only to Sunday
schools that had ball teams. Once he started
working, he took jobs that fitted into his
baseball schedule. He became prominent in
sandlot and semipro circles, playing with
the old PEPCO team, the Tanglewood, the
National Savings and Trust Company, and
Gaithersburg in the Montgomery County
League. In 1915, he married a girl he had
met when she was an ardent follower OF
the Suburban League, in which he played
with the Silver Spring team on the Grant
Circle grounds in Petworth. He courted her
during their remaining years at Central
High. During World War I, she played the
piano in the act they did for troops at mill
tary camps
He might well have become a news
paper man. His father, member of the
Washington Star staff and correspondent
for several out-of-town newspapers, was
not the only journalist in the family. For
20 years, the boys aunt was society editor

of The Star, and his brother also was on the
staff. But beyond brief fling during high
school days when he covered wrestling and
baseball for the old Washington Herald, the
boy in the picture had no yen for writing.
After a short career at the Pace School
of Accounting, he became bookkeeper, and
next went into 30-year career in mer-
chandising. Beside his 22-year association
with woodward & Lothrop and one year
at Palais Royal, he owned ladies' apparel
shop. During the Korean War, he worked
for the ONCE of Price Sterilization. Four
years ago, he was named to his present job.
His work there is topic at his frequent
speaking engagements.

Senate Nears
Vote on Paw
Acts on Changes
To Postal Rate Bill
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star stan Writer


The Senate this afternoon
moved, toward q. final vote on
Federal classified and postal
employee pay raise legislation
The Senate first had to dis
pose of a number of amend
mentS to the postal rate bill
before moving to pay raise
consideration.
There was a strong possibility
the rs per cent classified en-
ploye pay raise bill will be
tackled onto the postal rate in
crease measure along with the
1875 per cent postal worker raise
legislation.
Senator Neuberger, Democrat
of Oregon, chairman of the
Senate Civil Service Subcom-
mittee which handled the pay
legislation, said this seems to
be the strategy at this point.
although no final decision will
be reached until later today.
Lean to Merger
The classified employee bill
had been scheduled to be acted
on separately, following APP
proval of the postal rate-postal
pay bill. However, in order to
expedite action on both CLASH
fed and postal employe pay
raises as well as postal rate in
creases, Senate pay sponsors are
now leaning to the plan to COM
bine all of them into one meas
ure.
Since the postal rate bill be-
fore the Senate has already
