Segregated
Schools Laid
To Housing

Washington's schools are be-
coming more segregated be-
cause Of discrimination in
housing, a District official said
yesterday.
Paul Killing, executive direc-
tor Of the city's Human Rela-
tons Council, siad that "the
1860 census figures showed
Washington is less integrated
in housing than it was in 1850"
Consequently, the schools
are becoming more segregated
in a de facto sense, as the
Negro gehetto grows and as
neighborhood segregation is
perpetuated." he said.
Mr.. Killing made these COM
ments when asked for his reac-
ton to a new civil rights re-
quest which stated that WASH
ington is not an integrated city,
despite the advances made in
the past 10 years.
Mr.. Killing said he was "in
general agreement" with the
report by the District Advisory
Committee to the United States
Civil Rights Commission, which
stated that Washington is not
integrated in education, hous-
ing or employment.
The District official said
that segregation in the city's
schools is not the fault Of the
school system, but simply re-
fleets neighborhood racial pat
terms.
He said he believes the solu-
ton to the school segregation
program problem here would
be adoption of an anti-dis-
elimination housing order by
the District Commissioners
coupled with educational activi-
ties by churches and private
groups to encourage Indignation
in neighborhoods.
