School Bond Issue Suit
By Negroes Loses

Arlington Circuit Court
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy to-
day declared that, despite the
Supreme Court desegregation
decision. the County School
Board has no duty to promote
indignation"
He spoke as he dismissed a
suit seeking to invalidate a
$950,000 bond issue which
would finance an addition to
the county's all-Negro Drew
Kemper school.
Lawyers representing Negroes
said they would appeal the
decision and wage a legal
struggle which could delay the
construction for years.

charged that the school boards
plan to expand the existing
school rather than build a new

President Kennedy today
sent to the Senate the nomina-

were recommended by the DC.
Bar Association.
Judge Quinn, So, was ap-
pointed to the Municipal Court
bench in 1943 by President
Roosevelt. Judge Malloy re-
placed him when he was ele-

Judge Malloy, Sc, in practice

Relief Probers Find
% Cases Ineligible
More Than Half
Under Scrutiny
Are Purged

More than half of the cases
investigated by a special team
checking on District welfare
freeloaderS have been dropped
from the relief rolls, a new
report disclosed today.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea reported to Senator Rob-
ert C. Byrd, Democrat of West
Virginia, that of a total of SIS
cases checked so far, 80 have
been dropped as being ineligible.
The rest of the cases were
found eligible.
ADO Cases Watched
In a January report, the in
vestigators turned up II cases
of chiseling out of a total Of
20 cases examined.
Under the spotlight are a
total of $50 cases in a category
of the welfare program known
as aid to Dependent Chill
dren."
ADO grants are available for
children whose fathers are
dead, incapacitated or absent
from home. District officials
have ruled that if a man is
continually found to be present
in the home he should be held
responsible for the children,
whether or not he is the father.
The Continuing relationship
with a man." according to to-
days report, once again was
the chief reason the recipients
were dropped. A total Of 20
such cases were noted.
The special investigation was
set up last September on the
recommendation of the Senate
District Appropriations subcom-
mittee, headed by Senator Byrd.
81 Gases PrOcessed
In all, 81 cases have been
processed by the special in
vestigation committee respon-
sible for the project. Twelve
were found to be already closed
when their cases were pulled
for investigators to check. The
cases are chosen at random
from the September relief pay
roll.
These IL cases could have
been closed for a variety Of
reasons, some because relief
recipients found themselves no
longer eligible and notified
their social workers.
In any case, the figures show
that of the total Of 81 checked,
Sc per cent are no longer on
the rolls.
Other cases were dropped. to-
days report showed, for a va
riety of reasons. In one, the
mother of the children on ADO
was found to be emplcyable;
in another, the father was To-
Gated and found to be employed.
The November results of the
investigation was significant in
that it represented the first
decline in cases in 81 months.
At the time the investigation

Land Deal
Is Approved

An Italian syndicate's $50
million Watergate Towne apart
ment and hotel project for
Foggy Bottom was advanced
today with the approval by
the National Capital Planning
Commission of a gift Of land
by the firm for park purposes.
Societa Immobilaire Generate
has agreed to turn over to the
National Park Service 23,500
square feet of land to widen
a park strip along the projects
Potomac parkway boundary,
between Virginia avenue and
F street NV.
The Park Service also will
gain 7,750 square feet Of land
as a result of the proposed
closing of Twenty-Second street.
In return, the Park Service
has agreed to renounce it's
claimed rights in the closing
of the street, and give up two
small triangular parks.
The project site adjoins the
site of the National Cultural
Center, and will contain ap-
proximately 10 acres of land.
A park Service spokesman
said the Italian firm will re-
ceive 4,700 square feet Of land
in the exchange, and an addi-
tional 4,400 square feet will go
to the District government.
Conrad Wirth, National Parks
Service director, said the ar
rangement provides a "desir-
able setback" for the parkway,
and was "a compromise solu-
ton acceptable to both sides"
At last months session, Mr..
Wirth opposed the firms plan
as Objectionable on the park
way side. The planning COM
mission advised land negotia-
tions be entered into to resolve
the objections.
In another action, the COM
mission rejected a plea from
one faction of Georgetown citi-
zens that planning for the
Georgetown waterfront area be
revived.
Two weeks ago, a decision
was made to drop preparations
of a sketch plan for George
town urban renewal. The &C
tion was taken after the Dis
trict Commissioners informed
the commission they considered
public aid for Georgetown
should have low priority.
Two days ago, however,
NCPC's Urban Renewal Com
mittee took up the matter
again In a closed session.

In his ruling, Judge Mccarthy

some question about whether
it (the addition) will perpetu-

He referred to growing Negro
economic power and the abil-

to come down to whether the
school board is under a duty
not to end segregation, but to

+. Regrets
Not Taking Law
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Father was a lawyer. He
never said anything about it
directly, but I am sure he
had hoped that his eldest
son would become an officer
of the court and a lance of
justice.
It didn't work out that way
and I have no regrets-that
is I had no regrets until the
other day when Larry Ak
man took me to lunch in the
new National Lawyers Club.
Now I am thinking of at
tending law school nights to
qualify for membership.
The club is on the second
floor of the new Federal Bar
Association Building at 1915
H street NV. facing Penn
sylvania avenue over the lit
tie triangle of park in front
Of the Roger Smith Hotel.
The building itself is one
of the truly modern office
buildings that are as well
come as rare in this Nations
Capital. It is a History
structure in the middle of
the block.
It was designed by Milton
Fischer of Corning Moore,
Elmore & Fisher, a local
architectural firm which has
designed several of Wash
ington's new commercial
structures.
The striking thing is the
way the red carpet is rolled
out at you. 1t is irresistible.
There are the familiar push
button doors of the elevators,
but the lobby is dominated by
a flying spiral staircase of
white concrete down which
the red carpet rolls.

The TV camera apparently

not send back pictures because
the narrow-angle, high-gain
radio antenna was not pointed
toward the earth. The antenna
