otaA SbAAA "AASSA
The District Commissioners
today were asked to investi-
gate the handling of racial dis
elimination complaints by their
legal staffs.
Attorney Joseph L. Rauh, jr.,
backed by two local Negro lead
ers, told the Commissioners the
corporation counsel's office has
a cream puff" approach to
prosecution of these cases.
In support of their investi-
CATION proposal, they cited the
recent refusal of Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Clark F. King
to prosecute a discrimina-
ton complaint by a Negro
girl against Mclean Gardens
Apartments.
Mr.. King, who heads the
Corporation Counsel's staff at
Municipal Court, had said there
was not enough evidence to
warrant taking the case to
court.
Prosecution Urged
Today, Mr.. Rauh and the two
Negroes-the Rev. E. Franklin
Jackson, head of the Washing
ton branch of the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement
of Colored People, and Sterling
Tucker, head of the Washing
ton Urban League-argued that
Mr.. King had made no real
effort to dig up this evidence.
The Commissioners were
urged by the delegation to
order the Corporation Counsel's
office to prosecute this and
another racial discrimination
complaint against the apart
ment development.
Mr.. Rauh suggested the in
vestigation should be con-
Quoted not by the District gov
eminent, but by some indie
pendent group. He said it might
be advisable to have the pro-
posed investigation carried out
by a special three-member
lawyer committee set up by
the Commissioners earlier this
year in connection with a
study of unnecessary police ar
rests.
You have a Corporation
Counsel's office which doesn't
feel that violation of an anti
discrimination law is of the
same magnitude as a VIOLA
tons of other laws" Mr.. Rauh
said.
Asked for comment, Mr..
Kings initial response was
that he still believes his deci-
sion on the Mclean Gardens
case was the right one when
measured against the infor-
nation he had before him.
Room Denied
The Negro girl, Ronyl Stew
art, 10, a Columbia University
student, had reported that last
July she stayed for three days
in a transient room at the
apartment development with a
white girl. After the white girl
left, Miss Stewart had asked
for a single room but was told
by a clerk that they we're an
occupied. Within minutes, ac-
cording to Miss Stewart, an
other white girl friend asked
for a room and received it.
Mclean Gardens later an
nounced that the incident was
the result of a misunderstand-
ing, and the girl was offered a
transient room!
Today, Mr. Rauh said that
there was another incident in
which Mclean Gardens refused
a Negro girl a room, and then
within minutes let a white girl
have one.
Mclean Gardens, at Wiscon-
sin avenue and Porter street
NV, has, in addition to its
apartment units, a 40-transient
room project. These 40 rooms
require a hotel license, which
in turn falls under a District
antidiscrimination statute.
Today, Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick j. Clarke and
Commissioner John B. Duncan
took the requests under ad-
visement. Commissioner Wal
ter N. Tobriner is in Europe on
vacation.

But this can be misleading.
Big customers are placing their

The United States Embassy in

Chinese jails.
The meeting between United

Embassy statement said both
sides had agreed to put off the

An Embassy spokesman re-

had come from the Chinese
side.

they decided to press Commu-

Each ape has its own special

Scientists want to know how
highly developed animals like
chimps and their cousins, men,
react in space flight. They de-
veloped a series of tests for
which the chimps have been
trained. These involve using
levers and pedals to turn lights
on and off and to avert slight
electrical shocks.
