Press Club Bars
Negro Applicant

C. Sumner (Chuck) Stone,
editor of the Washington Afro
American, has been denied
membership in the National
Press Club.
Robert c. Young of the Chi
cago Tribune, chairman of the
clubs Membership Committee,
said the fact that Mr.. Stone is
a Negro was not a factor in the
close votes by the Membership
Committee and the board of
governors rejecting the appli-
cation.
The applicant didn't meet
the professional standards for
admission to the club" said
Mr.. Young. The NPC has sew
eral Negro members. Mr..
Young said there was pressure
from Mr.. Stones sponsors but
the application was denied
after prolonged consideration.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
May % (AP).-Expert scien-
tific detective work has de-
termined that troubles with ar
electrical amplifier caused the
failures which forced Astro-
naut L. Gordon Cooper to
steer his spacecraft manually
back to earth.
Moisture, perhaps from Mai
Cooper's perspiring, corroded a
connection on the small cleo
tronic box called an amp cal
(for amplifier calibration) and
wiped out all Spacecraft auto
matte controls down to a GER
tain re-entry point.
An electrical short in an amp
solder connection, probably be-
cause Of faulty insulation,
knocked out the remainder of
the automatic re-entry con-
trolls and left Maj. Cooper on
his own with the manual sys-
tenn.
Converts Impulses
These results of exhaustive
tests were reported last night
by the National Aeronautics
and Space administration.
The amp cal is designed to
change electrical signals re-
ceived from various spacecraft
sensors, such as horoscopes and
infrared horizon scanners,
into firing commands which
ignite small jets in the cap
sule's automatic system.
The streams of hydrogen Pc
roxide gas shooting from the
jets maintain the spacecraft's
proper position and angle in
relation to the earth.
AS Mai. Cooper whirled on
the 18th Of his % orbits two
weeks ago, a green light labeled
.05G flashed on and indicated
enormously that he might be
re-entering the atmosphere
early. Then two inverters
which transform alternating to
direct current to support cer-
tain automatic functions did
not work.
Many Systems Checked
For more than a week, since
MAJ. Cooper'S Faith-7 capsule
was returned to Cape Canav-
eral, engineers and technicians
all suspected systems
to thorough checkouts under
simulated flight conditions in
a space environment chamber.
The tests showed the two in
verterS to be in perfect working
order. So the finger of guilt
pointed to the power supply.
Further checks turned up the
solder connection short. An
official said the short probably
occurred when Maj. Cooper at
tempted to activate the in
verters by pushing a switch.

light was more difficult to

Factors to Be Considered
The placement law permits
boards to consider these factors
in transfer or assignment:
Transportation facilities; the
effect Of admission of new
pupils on established or pro.
posed academic programs;
scholastic aptitude and relative
intelligence or mental energy
or ability of the pupil; the
psychological qualification OF
the pupils for the type Of
teaching and association In

The possibility of friction

pIained that private hospitals
treated public patients at be-
low cost.
Mr.. Whitener charged that
the District Government was
mushrooming faster than the
Federal Government.
Our problems are mush-
rooming faster here too," Com
missioner Tobriner said.
The Congressman noted that
District Government employees
had increased from 24.9 to
san per 1000 population from
1850 to 1860, despite a popula-
ton drop. In other cities of
comparable size, he said, the
number Of municipal employees
either dropped with the popu-
lation decrease or held the line.
High-Priced Employees
Noting more than $50 per
cent increases in high-grade
jobs in the last eight years,
Representative Whitener re-
marked:
You are employing more
high priced folks and cutting
off the low-priced."
Mr.. Whitener also pressed
Mr.. Stats for a decision on
whether Federal payments to
the District would be decreased
by amounts the city might re-
ceive in impacted school aid
and in transit financing from
the Federal Government.
The House Education Com
mittee has written the District
into the impacted school plan
which could yield $4 million
annually. President Kennedy
has proposed initial Federal fl
naneing for a $700 million
metropolitan Washington tran
sit system.
Impacted Aid
The impacted aid must be
taken into account. obviously"
Mr.. Stats said. But he did not
say precisely how.
The transit funding is not
involved, Mr.. Stats claimed,
because the lions share Of this
Federal aid is to he repaid by
the users of the systems.

upgrade the Federal payment

For Larger Program
District officials said money
was available now to finance
the enlarged school program.
Tax yields larger than eSti-
mates, supplemental budget re-
ductions by Congress, and a
release of reserve funds ac-
counted for the newly discoV-
cred resources.
Enough teachers would be
hired to reduce pupil teacher
ratios to close to 80 to one in
elementary classrooms and rs
to one in junior highs. Already,
a senior high teacher works
with rs pupils in an average
sized class.
More classroom space and
bigger teaching staffs are need
ed now, one city official said,
because the Districts crop of
war babies are reaching junior
high school. Total system en-
rollments continue to climb.
Walter N. Tobriner, president
Of the Board of Commissioners,
said the recently discovered
funds were channeled to schools
because "our schools seem to
be in a worse position than
any other department"
Other Uses Planned
Some Of the 81 million would
pay for medical treatment of
prisoners at st. Elizabeths Hos
pital and wage increases.
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
said that the Commissioners
move to include the additional
funds in the secondary budget
represented "a considerable
upswing in public interest in
school problems" He said that |
the addition of about rs junior
high school teachers in the So
called "B" budget is a con-
Structive measure in view of
the fact that District schools
will need 10000 more junior
high pupil spaces by 1869.
