The charges were made by Dr. E. B. Henderson. who as acting chair man pf the conference had opposed effort of one faction to increase the numtj?r of committeemen who youltj represent groups interested in comb» ting racial segregation. There were some individuals of Communistic leanings representing gioupt not necessarily inclined to those ideals.” Dr. Henderson said. *T aril opposed to that type of per son sitting on the committee.” Two-Day Meeting.

Attended by representatives of racial equality groups seeking to co-ordinate activities, the confer ence was held at Asbury Methodist Church. Eleventh and K streets N.W.

As leader of the panel on education and recreation, he called I for a program of interracial cultural j education In the schools. He said j colored children now make up 44.4 | per cent of District public schools 'and "soon may be In the majority." ' Dr. Henderson called for nonsegre 1 "ation in athletics and recreation.
