it's views on civil rights legislation
as a guide for committee action.
Up until today, he said, Mr.. Rogers
had not answered his letter or &C.
copied an invitation to appear as
a witness for questioning on Ad-
ministration attitude.
Rogers Explains Silence
Mr.. Rogers said in effect that
the silence of the Justice Depart
ment had been because of con-
viction that no civil rights bill
could get through Congress before
it adjourned. Further, Mr.. Rogers
said, the new Civil Rights Com
mission, created to handle COM
plants of denials of constitutional
liberties, should have an opportun-
ity to function with full force.
The Department of Justice, Mr..
Rogers held, is anxious" to start
cases in court of alleged denial of
civil rights. But, he observed, it
would be disservice to civil rights
to enter the courts with train of
cases that it might lose. He in
sisted that the Administrators
position on civil rights was well
enough known to justify such a de-
cision.
Mr.. Celler's complaints won sup
port from witnesses before his
panel.
Theodore w. Kheel, president of
the Urban Leagues, a non-profit
organization functioning in sixty
three cities in thirty-one states,
called for a Congressional investi-
CATION into what he called the OPP
erations of "racketeers in race
hatred" who make political and
financial capital" out of "fears of
social change" in the South. A
principal profiteer here, he con-
tended was a mail-order publish
ing house, not in the South, that
fed "bales" of hatred propaganda"
to Southerners.
Need For Action Stressed
Mr.. Celler contended that leg
islation was needed now more than
Congressional investigation that
much time. Mr.. Kheel
countered that the Senate inquiry
into racketeering within the labor
had brought effective
reforms even before legislation
was enacted.
Sanford H. Bolz, spokesman for
the American Jewish Congress,
that under present law
only little more than one-quarter
of the school districts that were
segregated in 1854 when the Su-
preme Court issued its Indignation
decree had since complied with the
courts decision. Seven states, he
added, had continued to maintain
absolute racial segregation.
"This," he said, lis not due to
desire for 'modernization' or a
policy of going Slow 1t is a plain
and outright defiance of the COM
nand of the Constitution"
Representative Charles C.. Diggs,
Democrat of Michigan, asserted
hat the Justice Department had
neglected to act on several sworn
complaints that the voting rights
# Negroes had been violated at
he polls. Representative Lester |
doltzman, Democrat of Queens, a
committee member, observed that
It no time had the complaints been
declared invalid.

U. S. Workers Clog Roads,
Early Release Time Denied
Cold Stoys;
Schools Set
To Reopen

Trafiic which crept over icy
streets this morning faced
sterner test this afternoon with
workers heading home at the
usual evening rush hours.
The White House decided
against early release OF
Government employees when
District Commissioners rec
commended overwhelmingly"
against 1t.
Although conditions were
gradually improving from
effects Of the long siege OF ice
and snow. the outlook was for
more nerve-racking days before
it all clears up.
Tomorrow the traffic load
will be weighted anew with
District public and parochial
school children going back TO
their classes after a three day
holiday.
County Schools Closed
Closed for the rest of the
week are schools in Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges Coun-
ties. Fairfax schools will be
closed tomorrow and probably
Friday. No decision had been
reached early this afternoon on
school plans for tomorrow in
Arlington, Alexandria and Falls
Church.
Only slight Improvement was
seen in the weather, with
temperatures skirting the 30
mark for the first time since
the hard freeze set in. There
was hope the warming of today
and tomorrow would reduce the
heavy snow cover to some ex-
tent.
Public transportation, heavily
taxed as thousands of workers
left their cars at home, was
hraced to throw all available
buses and cars into this eve
ning's homeward journey.
Extra Police Out
This morning 300 to 400 mid
night shift policemen remained
on duty to help untangle the
expected stalls and skids and
minor accidents. The day po-
lice force was to perform the
same overtime duty in trying
to expedite homebound trafflc
this evening.
Engineer Commissioner Al
vim c. yelling, noting that the
District came out of the morn
ing traffic smelling like a rose"
asked that people again use
mass transportation instead Of
their own cars tomorrow.
Col. yelling said the decision
not to recommend an early dis
miSSal for Government EN-.
ployes was based on several
factors. Since public trans
portation was set up for a
normal work day. it might cause
more confusion to release EN-
ployeS early. City streets are
in comparatively good condi-
ton. he said.
Louis r. Watson. executive
director, District Motor We
hicle Parking Agency. said
about 40 per cent OF the avail
able downtown parking space
was occupied by noon today.
