Indignation at
Teacher Level
Prince Georges
Muy Put Negroes
In White Faculties

The first assignment of
Negro teachers to white schools
in Prince Georges County is
being considered by the School
Board staff.
If carried out, it will mark a
major step in migration Of
the school system.
Neighboring MONTGOMERY
County has completed its in
tegration program.
Prince Georges teacher as
signments are being planned
now but will not be completed
until September l, according to
George Robinson. assistant
superintendent for secondary
education.
IntegratiOn Not Forced
He said assignments are not
made on the basis of race, but
rather in an effort to obtain
the best educational advantages
for students.
1T has not been our policy
to force integration," Mr.. Rob-
inSon said.
For nearly a year some Ne
gro citizens groups in Prince
Georges have stepped up their
protests to the School Board
against what they charge are
deliberate tactics to delay in
tegration. Among these, they
say. is the segregation of
teachers.
They also have complained
that the school board encour-
ages segregation by routing
school buses with Negro stu
dents to only Negro schools.
Hearing Postponed
The citizens have taken their
protest to the Maryland State
Board of Education. The State
board scheduled a hearing for
June 10, but it was postponed
indefinitely at the request of
the county school board.
Prince Georges school Of
ficials relaxed their indignation
policies somewhat last spring
by stating that Negro graduates
from elementary and junior high
schools could apply to enter
any school of their choice. Pre-
viously Negro graduates were
promoted into Negro secondary
schools.
The boards basic policy is to
require both Negro and white
students to file formal written
applications with school Of
ficials if they want to transfer
to a different school.

Rush hour bus running times
on a mile of Sixteenth street
NV. have been reduced up to
1874 per cent by the use of
exclusive bus lanes and diver
sion of automobiles to other
streets, the Washington Metro
politan Area Transit Commits
sion reported today.
A check made Wednesday by
commission engineers showed
that local buses averaged 11.6
per cent less time on the ex-
elusive lane stretch and lin
tied express buses 1914 per cent
less, Chief Engineer Charles W.
Overhouse said. He called the
results very encouraging"
The running times yesterday
were compared to those before
the lanes between New Hamp-

established last December. At
the same time, Fifteenth street
was made one way northbound
and Seventeenth street one
way southbound between

Rushing to Testify
Budget Hearing
Rolls Closing
After Today

So many District taxpayers
have asked to be heard before
a Senate subcommittee on the
city budget that their testi-

Juvenile Court Factor
The failure of President Ken
nedy to name Juvenile Court
judges was a factor in the
hearings again this morning.
Senator Case, Republican OF
New Jersey, said it was "a
shocking thing that appoint
mentS haven't been made so
far" Congress authorized two
new judges last March. Justice
Department spokesman have
indicated names of candidates
are on their way to the White
House.
The budget request was for
$42, 900 to pay four attorneys
and two secretaries to handle
cases in the expanded court.
Senator Byrd asked why the
$4,000 could not be deferred
until the President acted and
then sent to Congress in a sup
Elemental request.
No Need Seen
Acting Corporation Counsel.
Irving Bryant admitted this,
could be done. Later, Senator,
Byrd said he saw no particular

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Showdown Blamed on Uncertainty
AS to What Country Thinks of Issues

It is not the heat that has
got hold of Congress and so
slowed 1t down with the Of
fetal arrival Of the summer
time. 1t is the tiInidity.
More exactly, it Is a pause
not for refreShment, but rath-
er for reconsideration. It is a
halt not for purposes Of rest,
but rather for purposes of
reorientation, tor looking
back down the road already
travelled and up along the
road leading to the congress
sional elections in November.
Washington has entered a
new political climate that has
nothing to do with the
weather. And 1t is not really
the formidable size of the
congressional calendar that
is giving an impression Of a
Senate and a House moving
only fitfully and unwillingly
about their jobs.
The decisive factor in the
current indecisiveness of Con-
gress is this: Congress wants
to know-or to take a little
time at least to try to guess
what the country now
thinks before 1t commits it
self to major parts OF Presi-
dent Kennedy'S unfinished
legislative program.
For the impression is now
widespread here that changes
Of unknown depth and mean
ing may be taking place in
the political attitudes of the
country.

consistently high popularity
The common congressional
verdict Is that undoubtedly

eating that some 20 per cent

stock market slump has been
carefully noted on Capitol
Hill. even though it is accom-
panied by evidence that a
vast majority of the country
is by no means afraid of a
depression.
But Just how much of the
Presidents popularity has

how much does this highly

ty and that highly unpopular
Presidents CTrumanl do not

Lacking the answers to
such questions, Congress is
doing what it usually will do
in q time of doubt. 1t is
doing, for the moment, as
little as possible until it can
get q better sense Of the cur
rent popular feeling on speci-
