The commission shall consist of nine members of whom three shall be appointed by the Governor of whom one shall be from the State Board of Education, and two shall be professional educators in the public school system of Virginia, one shall be appointed by the President of the Senate from the membership of the Senate, and three shall be appointed from the House of Delegates by the Speaker thereof; the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Delegates shall, ex officio, be members of the commission. The commission shall advise and work with the State Board of Education in order to devise a foundation program in the fundamentals of education to be financed by the State and localities jointly. The commission shall complete its study and make its report to the Governor and General Assembly not later than November one, nineteen hundred fifty-one. The members of the commission shall receive no compensation for their services but shall be paid their necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties, for which there is hereby appropriated from the contingent fund of the General Assembly the sum of fifteen hundred dollars. �O mvj %( V Hoffman-Bojton Recreation Center Opened Tuesday Despite rain and wind, some 75 children and teen-agers attended the opening of the Hoffman-Boston Recreation Center on Novem­ ber 6, and participated in ping pong, tumbling, pool, aocial danc­ ing, and quiet games.

Sryant stated that a meoting of a smaller group had boen .r held a month ago. Mr. -ebb mentioned that other groups in *»rl. are interested in improving r ce relations. There is a group of young people 1950 at Lt. -lory's Episcopal yhurcli of which Rev. 1 itman is paston prof. Gibbons mentioned “rs. Lindsay's fine work in Pittsburgh, li said Interracial groups are fundamental to Democracy. e e must seo problems as part of a whole. Remember we are dealing with in­ dividuals who have had different experiences. Lometimes v.e get in our own way because of our past experiences. Often we don not get to know members of other races. Activity helps us to know one moth e r . e should gear ourselves to Kxsaux an activity inpDntant to the community. I'rs. Llnd3ay It is godd that we have several Negroes in the group co that we get more than one point of view. I have worked with bitter Negro children gho thought all whites "mean" and with white civile -en who despised ogrooo. ’ e must tfke stock of our situation and sot up temporary timetables, we mucin t bo surprised if v.e get called a bunch of communists. 'r. /ontls hat is the Negro housing situation in Arl.T How rmoti new housing is there for "egroos? Reply - In all's .Hill and Green Valley apartments can now be built by "eguoes for Negroes. 95 % of the slums in Arlington are occuppied by gegroos. Mr. owell The “ogre housing situation is gotting worse here. The 'trailer enpp was olosed and those people shoved into ulready crowd*, houses, nothing is being done for the people who need housing work County Manager undberg thinks we any have to encourage housing. A simple housing unit ,.ith four walls, floor .windows could be built perhaps for *5600. r, obb commented on the high land values. **e said most Negroes in arl, rent from whites. e could find the % of home ownership from the recreation 3urvy made two years ago. r, ryant said that a six year plan for Arl. -ill r :quire the collection of facts. �It wrs suggested that it might he interesting to know about the •tmcrship of sub-standard housing. It was stated that a couple of years vgo Lawrence ^ouglas was the owner of the Roslyn slum area. Dr. Johnson Point one on the program is housing. Some housing fr.rniOiied Megro domestic helij is very poor. (People do not realize tha they get poor help because of the poor rooming facilities they offer.) Employment possibilities for degrees in Arlington are limited. She The public utilities hire Negroes only as janitors, the stores do not employ J egro clerks. , fiecre-tional opportunities in -rlington are pool1 . Thero is no motion picture theatre which admits *'ogroes. There i3 only ono colored res­ taurant. The health situation is fair. The rlington noopltal is open to ■ ‘ •egroes except that it does not t"ke obstetric.1 cases, nor children. It provides equal facilities. Bryant Our group should decide whether It will be an uction group or try to stimulate »otlon in other groups- that is coordinate community planning on a total basis. Rev. ^Sinter asked if thor is a credit union In hall’s Hill. The rply was no. 0 : many Hegroos have accounts in the Old Dominion Bank? 7 This » s not known. The possibility of a cooperative too raised. trof. Gibbons pointed out ’ that In order for a cooperative to be a success there must bo a conscious need of it, (T sited the instance of a coop In the district which 'o failed because the people were not re :dy for it.) Hood cr.n be stimulated. MrB, holt naked nr, Johnson If F.E.P.C. would help in Arl. i e said ‘ yea, but-Mr. ebb suggested the brban League type of education with employer groups. e returned to tho question of our group’s role. K m . ‘ aurice said we can not be an action group with our present personnel. Ur. Bryant said ho had originally thought of our group as a coordinating group. He suggested we consider housing our m i n objective. (Mrs. y.jan, who Is In charge at the Carver project his information.) Mrs. aurice suggested that we ask for an investigation of all substand rd housing in ■'•rlington rather than restricting it to substandard housing occupied by colored people. Mrs. Johnson was chosen chairman of a sub-committee to get a feww facts on srhatandard housing. She hopes to get assistance from the nurse at the Langston school. It was decided to meet again in three weeks in order to have time to interest other groups in a survey of sub-standard housing before they d o s e down for the sunnor. �Mr, Gibbons said that if v;e take up housing we should find out what is Involved -gather facts. Under the 6 yr. glan of Capitol improvements and services each each Department ead in irl. will have to draw up his program. This group could' be a sub-committee of the planning commission, nr. Bryant raised the question wheter the interests of "egroes would be represented at the coming .oning v earing. it was mentioned that the leadership of egore civic associations is mostly conservative. The Civic Fed. went on record as willing to accept colored civic orgs. but none have applied. Mrs. haurice stated that the --ental Hygiene a s , lied pa a sod an a m e n d m e n t that membership should be open to all. Perhaps such action should be followed up by„a definite invitation. Leadership is a problem in the egro group here. Mr. Gibbons pointed out that loaders can be"trained. Leadership has developed in connection with the X.M.C.A. Mrs. iiarx shod about the exact provisions of the segregation law on public assemblies. In summary hr. Bryant stated that we have two main problems. L. Leadership In the colored community 2.

Fellow Citizens: On Sept. 6, a colored citizen residing in Arlington, Willie Coles, a member of Rev. Mackley's church in good standing was brutality beaten by two Fairfax County policemen. It happened about like this: Coles was driving out of the Culmore Shopping center when the wheels of his car got stuck in the mud on the shoulders of the road. A white man with a truck pulled him out and charged $3. Coles drove his car to Blackwell's restaurant, about two blocks away. A Fairfax Police car drove up and charged him with reck­ less driving and put him in the police car and then radioed for other police. About the same time an Arlington police car and a Fairfax police car came up. Coles was told to get in the Fairfax Car. The Arlington police knew him and said it was OK, nothing would happen to him. As he was getting out of the first noli-e car, just as Iris head was out, one of the Fairfax Police hit him across the head with a black jack,knock­ ing him to the ground. He was then thrown into the Fairfax car and handcuffed. Then he was driven to the Fire House near Bailey's Cross Roads, a stretcher was obtained whereon he was handcuffed and left lying in the rain for about five minutes. He was driven a short distance and put into a police wagon and in doing so the stretcher was lifted up several times and his head allowed to hit the floor of the car each time. Then he was taken cut, bruised and bloody to the hospital where he was confined for three days. Following this for two days testimony was given at the Trial Jus­ tice court at Fairfax and ho was fined $11:3. for reckless driving, re­ sisting an officer,etc. He was defended by two white lawyers employed by his employer for whom he has worked over 12 years. A picture of Coles taken at the hospital shows him bandaged and with his wrists severely lacerated by the vicious use of the handcuffs. Our NAACP lawyer , Otto L. Tucker was engaged to work with the other lawyers and an appeal has been made for trial in the circuit court. The cost of the record at Fairfax will be $1:00. There will also be other larger costs as the trial proceeds. Therefore we are appealing to you to give as much money as you can spare to help finance this case. It is important that wc try to restrain such brutality because the same thing can happen to you or to m e . Both the Arlington and Fairfax NAACP Branches are party to this case. Already the Fairfax and Arlington Branches have pledged to raise JUOO. right away. Over $150. has been sent to cover the cost in part for the transcript of the record. I am sure that when you see the picture of Coles you will be constrained to give. Please send your contributions to Mr. William A. West, secretary of the Fairfax County Branch, P.O.Box ,Vienna, Va. or to Mr..William R . Minor, 1021 So.Rolfo Street in Arlington, Va. We must show our tax sunoortod law enforcement officers that they must not bo b m t a l in effecting arrests. Signed, E.B.Henderson Vice-Pros. Va.

Salvation Baptist Church in Hall’s Hill, representatives heard Dr. E. B. Henderson report: - Letters have been sent to all of the Negro and white ministers in northern Virginia urging them to implement on the individual church level, the policies adopted by their higher church bodies re­ garding integration an*I the Su­ prem e Court decision. Letters have also been sent to all the teachers in the Negro schools, Dr. Henderson said, with suggestions for preparation of chil­ dren for adequate adjustment to the problems of de-segregation. Dr. Henderson also reported on the Richmond meeting of the Gov­ ernor’s Commission on Education, in which he mentioned that the m ajority of opponents of de-segre­ gation came from these counties where Negroes were either a ma­ jority of the population or a large minority. He indicated that it is a travesty uf>orf a democracy where none of the officials in government were members of the large minority or the majority. The highest paid state salary to a Negro goes to the Governor’s chauffeur, he said. At the meeting in Richmond those white people who feared mis­ cegenation were reminded that this had been going on a long time and the _resp< responsibility, was that of the h it\ majority. w hit\ m Loudoun Groups Reject Segregation?roposal x RICHMOND.

At a meeting of the 7th District branches of the National Associa­ tion for the Advancement of Color­ ed People, held Saturday in the Mt. Salvation Baptist Church in Hall’s Hill, representatives heard Dr. E. B. Henderson report: Letters have been sent to all of the Negro and white ministers in northern Virginia urging them to implement on the individual church level, the policies adopted by their higher church bodies re­ garding integration anv. the Su­ preme Court decision. Letters have also been sent to all the teachers in the Negro schools, Dr. Henderson said, with suggestions for preparation of chil­ dren for adequate adjustment to the problems of de-segregation. Dr. Henderson also reported on the Richmond meeting of the Gov­ ernor’s Commission on Education, which he mentioned that the majority of opponents of de-segre­ gation came from these counties where Negroes were either a ma­ jority of the population or a large minority. He indicated that it is a travesty upon a democracy where none of the officials in government were members of the large minority or the majority. The highest paid state salary to a Negro goes to the Governor’s chauffeur, he said. At the meeting in Richmond those white people who feared mis­ cegenation were reminded that this had been going on a long time and the Responsibility was that of the whifc majority. Loudoun Groups Reject Segregation Proposal RICHMOND, Va. — Color c d organization* in Loudoun county, Va. have flatly rejected a pro­ posal that colored residents of the county a p p r o v e segreg a ted schools in the county so that a bond issue could be approved by voters in the county for improve­ ment of the schools. Disclosure of the action of the colored citizens was made this week by W. Lester Banks, execu­ tive secretary of the Virginia State C o n f e r e n c e s of NA ACP Branches. He said theLoundon County Board of Education and the county Board of Super­ visors holding a joint meeting f voted to make the authorization - of racially segregated schools. a Y f . i l ? . • • • THE JOINT statement of the two boards advised that “no steps should be taken - until and u n l e s s reasonable assurances have been given by the parents of colored children of the county that they will conform to our considered opinion that their ed­ ucation can be promoted better by continued school attendance on a segregated basis.” This proposal is flatly reject­ ed in a resolution adopted by the County Wide League, John W. Wanzer, president; the Banneker Parent-Teacher Associa­ tion, Mrs. Geneva Stewart, pre sident, and the Loudoun County Branch of the National Associa­ tion for the Advancement of Cok ored People, William M. Jack* son, president. • • • IN THEIR resolution the *ign« ers noted that the School Board have proposed a $700,000 issue t« secure money to improve the schools in the couty, but that action of the proposal be con­ tingent on the acceptantce of se­ gregated schools by colored parents as best for their children. This point, however, is disputed in the resolution with the state­ ment that it “is based solely up­ on Ignorance and superstition..** The resolution also points out that “the pattern of racial segre­ gation nurtured through the se­ gregated public schools retard# the development of the cultural and democratic processes of the entire community” and that “the Supreme Court has declared that enforced racial segregation i a public schools is unlawful.” THE ORGANIZATIONS meet­ ing jointly said in closing their resolution that they “ reject the proposal contained in the afore­ said resolution” of the School Board and Board of Supervisor# “and urge all other Negroes i t Loudoun County to do likewise.'* The resolution is signed by the presidents of the participating or­ ganizations. It was directed that, the resolution to b# sent to the boards |Loudoun Refuses Negro School Use LEESBURG, Va., April 11 (Spl.)—A request that Douglass High School for Negroes be per­ mitted to use the auditorium of Loudoun County High School for its spring commencement exercises was turned down to-, day by the County School Board. John Tolbert, chairman of the committee on school needs of the Countywide League, a Ne­ gro organization, made the re­ quest and cited the need for more space. The Douglass au1 ditorium has 300 seats and the ■Loudoun auditorium has 1000. i Board members told him Lou. doun County High also has t crowded conditions at its grad’ uations. 1 The board also allocated all of the $60,000 building fund for ■ the coming school year to a • two-classroom and library addi. tion at Areola Elementary ' School. At present, 63 of the . school's 250 pupils must attend classes in another building. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
