Challenged
By Sylvester
BY the Associated Press

The Pentagon's information
chief has invited the Nations
news media to come up with
suggestions on their role in the
special circumstances of nu-
clear war or threat Of war.
Arthur Sylvester, Assistant
Secretary Of Defense, said "it
is no longer good enough for a
great profession to sit back
and wait for the Government"
to tell 1t what 1t should or
should not print.
II suggest you should take
the initiative in cooperating
with your Government in adj
vance Of crisis to determine
what your role should be when
nuclear disaster threatens" he
said.
Mr.. Sylvester, in charge Of
public affairs for the Defense
Department, issued his invita-
ton last night in speaking at
the National Editorial Associa-
TONS annual Government Re
lations Workshop.
Mr.. Sylvester, whose policies
have been sharply criticized,

Syrian Chuncery
Zoning Question
Stumps Officials

District zoning Administra-
tor H. Warren Stewart today
was to ask the corporation
counsers office how to serve
notice on the Syrian govern
ment that 1t may no longer
occupy its Chancery at 2144
Wyoming avenue NV.
II don't know how we are
going to serve notice on q
foreign government If they
don't want to accept 1t. It's
going to be a little touchy,"
said Mr.. Stewart.
The situation arose yester-
day when the Board of Zoning
Adjustment ordered revocation
of the occupancy permit issued
to Syria for Its chancery on
Wyoming avenue. Mr.. Stewards
action in giving the permit to
Syria was ruled in error by
the board last week. He said
today he will ask the city's
legal staff about how to go
about revoking it.
Mr.. Stewart issued the per-
NIT in December without send
ing the proposal to the coming
board as a special exception.
This was done, he said, be-
cause the property had been
used by Morocco before Syria
moved in.
The coming board, after
hearing appeals from the
Sheridan and Kalorama Neigh
borhood Council, ruled tina t
each chancery must be con-
sidered individually.

Home owners all over this
area have reported un-
usually large swarmings of
termites. Evidently, safe in
their nests below the frost
line, termites were not
affected by the continuous
sub-freezing temperatures of
the past winter. Concealed
from view, termites burrow
up from the ground in
search of food, usually
wood, and often attack the
supporting mder-suucture
OF homes. Only an inspec-
ton by experts can deter

Negroes Fa|ter
In College,
Study Shows
"a striking pattern of wasted

"A striking pattern Of wasted
effort, confusion and founder.
ing" in college emerged in q
follow-up study of a superior
group Of Negro high schoo
graduates here, 1t was reported
today.
The study traced as of the II
boys in the 1856 graduating
class Of a Washington school,
considered one of the Nations
finest high schools for Negroes
The students were inter-
viewed five years after gradua-
ton in a research project OF
the Washington Center fol
Metropolitan Studies under the
direction Of Mrs. Eunice E
Grier Of the center staff.
The graduates studied were
judged superior" although
not Of "blue-ribbon" caliber on
the whole. Almost all aspired
to professional careers. Their
parents were considerably bet
ter educated than most WASH
ington area Negroes and urged
learning upon their sons as the
key to success.
Only Seven Degrees
According to the study, most
of the students went on to col
lege, but only seven had earned
college degrees five years after
graduation. The rest had
dropped out at least once but
returned to college In almost
all cases.
While poor grades were the
main problem for a few, and
financial difficulties plagued q
few more, the major reason for
interruption Of studies was I'M
certainty about choice Of ca
reers, the study found.
About three fourths had
changed their major course
work in college at least once
Most Of the shifts were away
from the physical sciences to
which a number had been orr
ented by high school counsel
ing programs and popular lit
erature. and toward social SCI
.ences and humanities for which
many seemed better suited by
aptitude and preference, it was
noted.
Data Inadequate
Inadequate information on
career possibilities was identi-
fled by the report as a major
sources Of difficulty. Mrs.
Kathryn Stone, vice chairman
Of the center's Commission on
Human Resources which init
ated the study, said:
1.-THE research results suggest
whole new avenues Of approach
to more effective manpower
utilization which can benefit
all Washington area residents,
not only those who belong to
racial minorities."
The study suggested, too,
that discriminatory barriers,
which had prevented many Of
the parents from achieving
their own aspirations. also pre-
vented them from giving ade-
quate career counseling to their
offspring.
Recommendation Given
Recommendations Of the re-
port included concentrated
career coordination services for
youth Of above-average ability,
not just for the highly gifted
and problem students.
Others called for re-evalua-
ton Of present school counsel
ing procedures to assure that
they are suited to the needs of
youth of varying backgrounds,
new techniques to offer stu
dents opportunity to try out
a variety of careers on-the-joh
and programs to broaden the
range Of summer and part-time
job opportunities for minority
youth.
A special advisory panel for
the study included educators
and employment and youth
specialists here.

Mr.. Niblack said that If the
building firm should agar
turn to FILA for future financ.
ing "he will have TO agree-a'
any other builder will-to sell
houses on q non-discrimina-

In a new letter to FILA Of

Home Rule Hit
By Federation

The Federation of Citizens
Associations last night opposed
home rule for the District I'M
less District voters could elect
representatives with full rights
in both houses of Congress.
The Federation also called
for the group of citizens who
recommended the ban on in
vestigative arrests by police to
promptly recommend a sub
stitute procedure" to aid law
enforcement in Washington.
In condemning the principles
Of home rule, Federation dele
gates voted 1875 to oppose all
the bills now before Congress
because none Of the pending
legislation will provide a salts
factory form Of self-govern-
ment."
Each Of the proposed bills
calls for an elected non-voting
delegate to the House. The
delegate from the Nations
Capital, who automatically
would be a member of the
House District Committee,
would be permitted to debate
but not to vote, the Fedora
tons Suffrage Committee
pointed out.
Provisions Of Bill
The proposed legislation also
calls for the creation Of a chief
executive officer" elected or
appointed, and an elected
council Of from seven to is
citizens. The new form of local
government would replace the
present three-man Board of
Commissioners and several reg
ulatory groups, including the
Board Of Education, the Zoning
Board, the Public Utilities Com
mission. the Armory Board, the
National Capital Housing Au-
thority and the Redevelopment
Land Agency.
While each Of the pending
bills differ in some detail, they
all fail to provide for full vot-
ing rights in both the House
and Senate. the Federation's
Suffrage Committee reported.
Present Form Upheld
In recommending opposition
to home rule, the Suffrage
Committee report declared:
THE present form Of gov
eminent in the District. while
not always as efficient as may
be desired. has stood the test
OF time and, on the whole, has
produced honest and effective
administration OF the Districts
affairs despite many perplexing
problems"
After accepting the commit
mittee's recommendation and
voting against home rule, Fed
Grafton delegates also voted TO
oppose a recent decision by
the Districts Board OF Elec-
tons TO revise voting precinct
boundaries before making such
revision proposals known 10 the
public.
Other Actions
In other action, the Fedora
ton voted 10 request that the
