Negro Leaders Form
Group on Delinquency

A group of rs Washington
Negro leaders voted last night
to set up a committee to deal
with the problems of juvenile
delinquency.
At a dinner meeting Spon-
sored by the Twelfth Street
Branch of the YMCA in the
Presidential Arms, the group
created the committee Gin view
of the increase in juvenile de-
linquency in the District OF
Columbia, and the racial en-
phaSiS which some newspapers
put on the complex problem of
juvenile delinquency"
City-Wide Effort Urged
The groups resolution de-
clared that the problem of jul
venile delinquency and street
crime is rooted in economics
and unemployment. lack of
moral discipline, lack of edu-
cational and recreational ia
cilities and programs"
1t said there is a need for a
"city-wide integrated and CO.
ordinated effort" to meet the
problem.
The group outlined a general
program aimed at focusing pub
lie attention on the problem
and enlisting other organiza-
tons to help. The group will
meet again early next month
for further discussion.

The
Rambler
Is Entronced
BY q HorticuIturist
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

America has biographers,
noveliStS and historical ro-
mancers looking for someone
to write about.
Why don't they write about
Frank N. Meyer. the greatest
horticultural explorer this
country ever had?
Perhaps they do not know
about Frank Meyer. In re-
cent years, his name has been
projected beyond the hor-
ticulturists' scope. He is
responsible for the introduce
ton of zoysia-the Korean
grass that will withstand the
summer sun, even in this
subtropical (recently frigid)
cline.
The Rambler has to admit
ignorance. He had read and
heard about this grass which
comes in plugs that you in
Sert in your lawn. The plugs
: send out StolonS, and soon Tin
two or three years. your lawn
is all zoySla, green through
the summer, but unfortu-
nately somewhat brown in
the fall. But that is all he
knew.
Two visits to the Agricul-
tural Research Center at
Beltsville have served to
lessen that ignorance. One
was last summer, and this
was learned: Frank Meyer
operated early in the century,
and the zoysia was more than
80 years dormant at Belts
vile, one of the many
grasses living in small
patches, until a joint project
of the United States Golf As
ISOLATION and the Research
Center decided it was the
grass for fairways from
Baltimore to Atlanta.
The second visit was yester-
day. The Rambler went out
there to read the three
bound typewriter volumes
of the reports that Meyer sent
from the Orient to David
Fairchild, the first head of
the Plant Introduction Serv-
ice.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-03-06

achievement, is that it pro-
vides material for anti-inte.
grationists.
Some predominately Negro
schools have, in the past at
least, tested on levels below
national averages. The reve-
lation has led to accusations
that indignation has lowered the
standards of public education
in the District.
Armstrong High School. for
example, has no white students.
Slow learners have been fun
neled into its program, designed
to meet the special needs Of
these students. Compared to
national averages, the school
naturally would fall somewhere
below the national norm.
In the past, the confusing
summaries on the results of
testing throughout the school
system increased the chances of
misinterpretation.
DR.. Hansen said he was not
sure his suggestion of publically
revealing test results required
Board of Education approval.
Opposes College Plan
On another matter, Dr.. Han.
sen said he cannot see the
chance of closing one of the
systems existing high schools
in order to convert District
Teachers College.
Although it lacks Board of
Education approval, this is the
plan now contained in the pub
lie works program submitted
to Congress.
The District Commissioners
have gone along with a plan to
spend 100000 to convert the
Teachers College-now set up
in two buildings eight blocks,
apart-in an existing high
school. Both Eastern and Car.
dozo have been suggested.
