Nd. u. Bias
BY the Associated Press

DR.. Wilson H. Elkins, presi-
dent of the University of Mary
land, yesterday cited statistics
to support his claim that the
university does not discrimi-
nate against Negro graduate
students.
The university does not keep
records on the basis of race,
DR.. Elkins said, but he COM
piled these statistics after "sev-
eral days of difficult research:
/. More than 300 Negroes are
enrolled as graduate students.
8. The university has awarded
so masters degrees and one doc
tor of education degree to Ne
groes during the past five
years.
3. Eight Negroes have re-
ceived medical doctors degrees
and five now are enrolled in the
medical school.
DR.. Elkins' statement ampli-
fled a brief one he issued last
Thursday after Morgan State
College President DR.. Martin
D. Jenkins claimed the univer-
sity generally does not award
scholarships to Morgan grad
yates.
The university president said
there are no scholarships pro-
grams, as such, for graduate
students at Maryland. Most
assistance programs for grad
uate students, DR.. Elkins said
require recipients 10 teach or
supervise a laboratory. He said
candidates are selected to do
a particular ioo.

problems that other areas are
just beginning to experience"
Mr., Harrison said there is "a
definite need here" for a mental
hospital. He said Virginia has
an excellent system of mental
hospitals which needs to be
expanded into Northern Vir-
ginia" to speed up the discharge
of durable patients.

Z Sunday Plans Not Disclosed
Mr.. Mackall also declined to
say whether the store would
be closed on Sundays from
now on. He said the stores

hearing Friday.
Mr.. Fitzgerald today issued
a notice to county and Falls
Church merchants listing the
items that can and cannot be
sold on Sundays under the new
blue law which the State court
recently upheld. He said en-
forcement would be up to the

The idea, Mr.. ThomaSian
said, is to give school board
members an estimate of what
it might cost to add a shelter
to a school building.
The architect. he said, would
be asked to include plans for
the shelter, perhaps in an al
ternate design, so that board
members could decide whether
to include it.
The school board last night
named architect Victor Spector
to design the 16-room school
in the Ravensworth Farms area
Of the county. The school is
expected to cost about $375 900.
Cost Data Sought
School Superintendent Earl
c. Funderburk said he believed
a preliminary plan should be
drawn up for a school which
would indicate to the board
what it might cost to include
fallout shelters in future build
ingS.
At the same time, another
school board member, Waldron
Leonard, told the county's
deputy chief civil defense war
den to sound out sentiment in
the area surrounding another
new school about constructing
p community shelter on school
land.
That shelter would be fl
nanced by residents of the area
surrounding the new W. T.
Woodson High School on Route
236 just outside the city Of
Fairfax, Col. Leonard said.
The board heard from retired
Navy; Capt. w. C. Johnson, who
is deputy chief warden for the
county.
Examining Schools
Capt. johnson said he pres
entity is examining schools in
the county to determine their
suitability as shelters.
In addition, he said, he is
cooperating with parent
teacher associations in setting
up civil defense programs CEN
tered about schools.
Mr.. Leonard said the county
might make land available at
many schools for community
shelters. The shelters might be
built with Federal aid. he said.
Sentiment should be sounded
out near the Woodson School,
he said, since that school is not
yet under construction and
problems Of building the shelter
would be at minimum.
A contract for the $3.2 mil
lion high school was awarded
last night to the Thorington
Construction Co. of Richmond.

locally. You have been willing
to bond yourselves into debt,
when necessary, without crying
for Federal handouts"
In what may be his final
area appearance before he
faces Republican Clyde Pearson
in the November 7 election, Mr..
Harrison responded to an OBJ
servation by Mayor Charles M.
HALEY Of Falls Church.
In Transitory Stage
Mr.. HALEY. who is from
Southside Virginia said that his
region does not understand the
problems Of a burgeoning urban

transitory stage from rural to

Tawes Urges Laws
5On Discrimination
By PAUL HOPE
star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. Gov.
Tawes has promised support for
legislation to end discrimina-
ton in Maryland hotels and
restaurants.
The Governor, under pressure
from several organizations and
smarting under criticism by
political opponents, said at a
press conference yesterday that
he indorses such legislation "in
principle"
He said he expects the legis-
lative council will come UP with
a satisfactory" public accom-
modations bill to present to the
1862 session of the General As
Sembly, which meets in jan
uary.
The Governor said he did not
believe persuasion" will end
discrimination in places Of pub
lie accommodation any time
soon and said this can be ac-
complished only through State
wide legislation prohibiting
such practices.
Strongest Statement
The statements were the
strongest the Governor has
made on the racial issue. He
refused to take a stand on the
issue when a bill was before the
1861 session of the General As
sembly, and at a press confer
ence two weeks ago he also de-
clined to take a position.
Last week former Gov. Theo-
dore McKeldin. probable can
didate for the Republican NOM
ination for Governor next year.
said the leaders of our State
should stand up and be
counted" on the racial issue.
David Hume, a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor, also has said he sup
ports public accommodations
legislation.
Such legislation is unlikely to
have much of a chance to get
through the General Assembly
unless it is strongly supported
by the Governor.
Gov. Tawes said that while
he Endorses the legislation in
principle, he is reserving iudg-
ment on a specific bill until a
study now being made by the
Legislative Council is completed.
He said ne would support the
proper kind" of bill, but he
didn't define what that would
be.
Denies Non Cooperation
The Governor denied accuse
tons that his administration
has not given moral leader
ship" to the fight against racial
discrimination. He said he has
worked closely with the State
to end incidents in
foreign Negro dignitaries
have been refused service In
Maryland restaurants. and with
the State Commission on In
terracial Problems.
He said he would not call a
special session of the General
Assembly to consider public ac-
commodations legislation be-
cause he thought it required
more time than such a session
could give it. Six church and
citizens groups and the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
Of Colored People
asked Gov. Tawes last week end
to call special session.
Commenting on increasing
speculation that he might not
run for a second term, Gov.
Tawes said he will make his
position known in due time.

Librarians Say Reading Stimulated Not Suppressed By Ieeus0n

Heading the Childrens' De-

Mrs. Clarke suggested that
television might be considered a
greater threat to peace and

ing in general. She gave as an
example the fact that the IL

NOn-FictiOn Reading Up
AS sidelight to reading habits
of the public as a whole, Mrs.
Clarke mentioned that more
and more non-fiction is being
circulated rather than fiction.
This is obviously because the
calibre of fiction has not kept
pace with the ever-increasing
number of books whose purpose
is to inform, instruct, or tell a
true story, all in a very read
able manner. AS a community
service, the library still serves
as an aid to education rather
than merely as a source for
escape reading.
An inquiry as to whether the
current recession has created a
greater interest in library faci-
lities elected this answer from
Mrs. Clarke:
Il remember the Depression;
how people either aren't as
worried or they're not thinking
in the same way, because then
they were reading books on job
re-training!"
