Too bad that some of the furniture

A REASON
Mr.. w. A. Robinson said be-
cause of the coverage given the

JERSEY NEGRO GIRL GRAD

The red carpet will figuratively
be rolled out and fanfares will
sound here in a few weeks for the
homecoming of Amalya Kearse.
The young lady is completing
her studies at the University of
Michigan Law School at Ann ArbOr
and she will be graduated in June
with high honorS.
Then, after hurried hellos to her
family. the 24-year-old graduate
will join the giant New York law

Dream Realized.

OTCdHH ENCQuLCus
For Miss Kearse, the new post
will be the fruition of a great
dream. She decided when she was
13 to become lawyer.
Her father, Robert F. Kearse,
said today: my daughter was
once fascinated with the idea of
being an FBI agent. She knew it
would be helpful to be a lawyer,
too. She decided against the FBI
as a career, but never gave up
her dream of being an attorney"
A B-plus student at Michigan
Law School, she is also an associ-
ate editor of the Michigan Law
Review and a member of the Or
der of Golf, an honorary legal
society. She will be graduated 14th
in her class of 243.
When the Wall Street firm sent
recruiters to the University of
Michigan in search of promising
law students, Miss Kearse was
among the first to be chosen.
Found Well Qualified.
A spokesman for the firm said
she was chosen on the basis of
her law school record and an in
terview and her personality. We
found her very well qualified.
Miss Kearse's duties haven't
been worked out so far, the spOkes-
man said, but she will be assigned
in the same way that other new
comers have been. The firm en-
ploys Is lawyers.
The Kearse family is well known
in this town of approximately
IL, 500. Mr.. Kearse has been post
master for 26 years. His wife
and Amalya's mother-is DR.. Myr-
ma Smith Kearse, one of the towns

House Probe

Representative Ford, Repub-
> lican Of Michigan, has asked
s for an investigation Of the Ma
tional Capital Transportation
Agency.
Mr.. Ford, taking the House
floor last week, said something
must be wrong with the agency
inasmuch as three top officials
have left the agency since its
formation two years ago.
1T is my opinion" said Mr..
Ford that some committee of
Congress should take a good
hard look at the operation of
this agency"
"It seems to me-" he added,
that the agency has gone out
of its way to go behind the
back Of the District Highway
Department in an effort to
hamstring and place roadblocks
in the path of further highway
development in Washington"
Mr.. Ford said he had no
reaction as yet to his sugges-
tions and added it was probably
too late in the session to in
itiate an investigation.
He said the agency, which is
to report in November on plans
for a rapid transit system for
the Washington area, has had
a completely free hand in its
operations.
