realize that something W a S

Fall Home Festival
Draws Viewing Throng

Thousands of Washington
ians yesterday fiocked to in
spect an exciting array Of
model houses during the second
day of The Stars Fall Festival
of Homes.
The cool air and balmy skies
acted as the catalyst that
started the flow of potential
homeowners on their inspec-
ton trip of the 81 houses
listed in the Saturday Real
Estate section of The Star.
One builder reported people
showing up as early as 10 am.
and another developer had a
very pleased" reaction when
he counted rs persons taking
a close look at the display
house he was showing.
The 16-day festival will ex-
tend through three week ends,
ending at dusk on September
81. Most houses will be open
to visitors daily from noon until
dusk.
Yesterdays crowds swelled to
the fullest between 2 pm. and
5 pm. with entire families
travelling the display circuit in
the Maryland and Virginia
suburbs.
The display of so many
houses by cooperating builders
gives the potential buyer a
chance to view a comprehen-
Sive cross-section of current
home production. The model
homes represent samples of
thousands of dwellings being
erected to house growing fam

Morning and evening rush
hours will be timed on the

Counsel Asks
Bigger Staff

A mounting work load, par
ticularly in land condemnation
cases and in disposing of dis
putes over contracts made by
the District Government, me-
cessitateS additional personnel
for the corporation counsel's
office, District budget officers
have reported.
They have recommended to
the District Commissioners that
the current years appropria-
tons of $755,000 be increased
to $805,000 next fiscal year.
For the expansion of legal
services, they recommend $53,-
$50. Nine additional positions
are requested.
In justifying the increases
to the budget officials, the cor
poration counsel's Office point
ed out that work of the Con-
tract Appeals Board has grown
so that one attorney should de-
vote his full time to the boards
work.

Those looking at the open
houses yesterday learned that
prices are somewhat static for
the moment, though labor costs
have risen.
Those asking about financ-

years. But another builder

Senator Morse would take a
close look at original depart
ment budgets, as well as recon-
mendations of the District
Commissioners, when the mu-
nicipal money bill for the year
beginning next July l goes to
Congress next January.
Up to now, congressional
budget-makers have concen-
trated on the Commissioners
figures. Their only information
about the much larger depart
ment proposals comes from
public witnesses who testify at
one hearing before the House
Appropriations Committee and
one before the sister Senate
unit.
School Superintendent Carl
F. Hansen asked for $4,000 to
draft plans for a new Hine
Building. The first part of the
$2.8 million total construction
cost is on his fiscal 1862 time
table. He expected tough going
on the Hine bid, however, be-

to maintain adequate man
agement control, officials said.
Two more purchasing agents
and a procurement clerk are
required to handle procure
ment of institutional supplies
and equipment and mobile
equipment, they said.
26 Buildings in Plan
The 81 million annual ex-
penditure in this field is
steadily increasing due to new
construction and subsequent
expansion of District services, "
the justification asserted.
For example. 26 buildings
are scheduled for completion
in fiscal year 1860 and already
we have scheduled 20 buildings
Tor completion in fiscal year
1861. All of these new facili-
ties must be equipped and ma
terials will be needed for their
maintenance"
The department said the
continued growth of District
operations has required the
rental of approximately $4,000
square feet of Office space in
addition to the $4,000 square
feet of space owned by the Dis
trict. Additional rented Office
space will be required to
house increased personnel, it
said.

Other Advances Listed
Restaurants cater to every

department has made a be-

Negro physicians and nurses

Capitals Race Barriers CrumbIe
In Social Revolution, Report Finds

In the past decade Wash
ington has experienced a ma
jor social revolution bringing
the city closer to the demo-
cratic ideal" a civil rights
group said today.
The dramatic changes dur
ing the short period were
brought out in a report of the
Commission on Civil Rights
of the National Association of
Intergroup Relations Offlcials.
"a survey in l948 under the
direction Of DR.. Joseph Lob
man revealed that, in the Ma
tons Capital, the Negro was
completely segregated and was
subject to a variety of dis
criminatory indignities." said
the reports editors, Ben D.
Segal and William Korey.
"Since then. barrier after
barrier to his advancement
either have crumbled or have
been overthrown."
Washington a Laboratory
Washington's evolution was
likened to that of a "veritable
laboratory of clinical expert
ences" which may be of value
to other communities facing
similar problems.
The report said that, like
other urban centers, Wash
ington's Negro population has
swelled the past 10 years
from 281 900 in 1850 to more
than 100000, or about 81 per
cent of the population at pres
ent.
In contrast to 10 years ago,
white and Negro children at
tend the same public schools,
