Sole Use of Kramer
As School Demanded
At Mass Meeting
Priorities to Permit
Early Completion of
Building Urged
Use of the Stephen Kramer Junior
High School In Anacostia by any
Government agency was opposed at
a m&ss meeting of approximately
500 persons last night at the Ana
costia Jumor-Senior High School.
In adopting a formal protesting
resolution, to be sent to the Dis
trict Commissioners, school authori
ties and the War Production Board,
the 11 associations of the South
east Council of Citizens' Associa
tions were joined by the District
Parent-Teacher Association, the
Bradbury Heights Garden Club and
the Southeast Businessmen's Coun
cil.
The citizens’ associations jointly
Urged the War Production Board to
grant priorities which would per
mit the early completion of the
building for use as a school.
Cantrell Speaks.
Lawson J. Cantrell, assistant su
perintendent of schools in charge
of junior high schools, the principal
speaker, warned that if the Kramer
Building were not used as a school,
the education of Anacostia children
would suffer and that the over
crowded conditions in schools might
jeopardize the health of students.
The speaker declaVed that if the
Kramer School is devoted to edu
cation when completed, “the over
flow of students from Anacostia
High School will be In excess of the
estimated capacity of Kramer.” He
pointed out that the Kramer School
is designed to hold 1.100 students,
and that if it were opened tomorrow
that many students now at the Ana
costia School would be ready for
transfer.
Smith Presides.
The meeting was presided over by
William J. Smith, president of the
Southeast Council, which includes
the Anacostia, Bradbury Heights,
Congress Heights, Fort Davis, Hill
crest, Lincoln Park, North Randle
Highlands, Randle Highlands,
Southeast Washington, Summit
Park and Washington Highlands
Citizens’ Associations.
Mr. Smith said the situation would
be aggravated next September, when
he predicted 500 additional students
would be ready for the junior high
school.
The action last night follows close
ly on the heels of the meeting of the
Board of Education on Wednesday
at which it voted unanimously to
seek the finishing of the already 19
per cent complete building for its
original purpose. It asked the War
Production Board to give it priority
rating.

of the independent union, at a spe
cial meeting of the council of his
organization yesterday announced
the decision to Join the C. I. O.
union.

rank-and-file member of an honest
union like the U. A. W.-C. I. O. than
the president of the biggest inde
pendent union In America," he said.
Then with Vice President Thomas
Hunter, assistant treasurer Michael
Fedyn and seven committee mem
bers, fie notified the council they
felt “the best interests of the Wright
workers can best be served by Im
mediate affiliation with the C. I. O.
