* By DAN GOTTLIEB
Stir Stiff Writer
1* Beefing up of the powers of
Mihe Commissioners’ Council on
Euman Relations was recom
mended yesterday by Aaron
J&oldman, the outgoing chair
man of the group who had
•«ked not to be reappointed.
He made Some pointed
Criticism of the District Com-
Snissioners* actions In the fields
of civil rights and human re
lations, and called for a “more
rapid pace of progress’* In
Seating the "Just demands” of
egroes In the District.
JJ The chairman disclosed his
Mews on the need for a
Stronger body than the present
“•advisory” group In a report
to the District Commissioners
released at a presq briefing yes
terday afternoon.
2 A member of the nine-man
jniunteer body since Its in
ception In early 1958, Mr. Gold
man criticized the District
Commissioners for “being slow
•Sometimes'* in acting on coun-
SHI proposals, not responding
•to others and not consulting
Jh' council more.
Resigned Wednesday
* Mr. Goldman, who Is presi
•”dent of the Macke Vending Co.
Announced he had submitted
“his resignation Wednesday to
24he Commissioners.
jj The chairman made clear
•Ahat his remarks on the Com-
Jpissloners' “lack of rapport"
with the council were directed
primarily at Walter N.
*Tobriner, President of the
dßoard of Commissioners. “Most
3}f my dealings have been with
She president. I think the presl
tnt sets the tone for the kind
confidence placed In the
-hoard (of Commissioners).”
i- President Tobrlner’s com-
JJient on Mr. Goldman's crit
icisms was:
V “The Commissioners are very
grateful for Mr. Goldman’s
Ring and fine service as chair
man of the Human Relations
Council and for the many
Achievements of the council
"Under his leadership....
Z- "... His recommendations
be the subject of con
tinuing study by the Commis-
JBoners.”
Duncan Backs Program
Commissioner John B. Dun
ean said: “I wholeheartedly
ejipport the program of the
council and will be glad to

the future, just as I have
done in the past.”

THE EVENING STAR
Washington, 0. C., Friday, August 23, 1963
two pages to accomplishments
and three pages to criticisms
and recommendations.
Among the 'achievements In
which the role of the council
was “either primary or sub
stantial,” he lists:
The setting up of a “practical
procedure” for District em
ployes to bring complaints of
discrimination to departmental
equal opportunity liaison offi
cers. In the first six months
of the program, the council has
handled 69 complaints of
which 11 were resolved, 20 were
dropped because of withdrawal
by the complainant or lack of
probable cause of jurisdiction,
and the rest are still being in
vestigated or conciliated.
Police Recruits Course
A 40-hour course of instruc
tion for police recruits with
special emphasis on racial and
minority problems.
The issuing by the District
Commissioners of a “stronger
order” concerning discrimina
tory job practices by firms
which do business with the
District Government. Mr .Gold
man charged, however, that
“until very recently. District of
Columbia contracting officers
have not made any serious ef
fort to enforce compliance.
Removal by newspapers of
racial designations In their
classified advertising.
Mr.' Goldman’s report and
explanatory statements criti
cized the Commissioners for:
The time lapse of two months
since promising to expedite the
preparation of an opinion by
the Corporation Council on
whether the Commissioners
have the power to issue a fair
employment practices ordi
nance. Mr. Goldman said he
considered such an ordinance
more Important than the hous
ing ordinance the Commission
ers have promised to Issue.
Inquiry Was Asked
Not responding to council
urging “more than once” that
it be assigned to make a
“broad scale Inquiry” Into
charges of police brutality
“which continues to plague re
lations between the Negro com
munity and the police.” Such
an Investigation would “estab
lish the truth .or falsity of these
accusations and would be a good
first step in removing a pri
mary source of community un
rest.”
Not using the council to
“study and evaluate the
Thanksgiving Day riot” at D. C.
Stadium last year. A special
citizens study group was set up
by School Supt. Carl Hansen.
The District Commissioners
appointed no citizen study
group.
Not consulting council mem
bers on the civil rights demon
stration scheduled next
Wednesday.
Council Has No Powers
Mr. Goldman’s principle rec
ommendation was for strength
ening the council and assign
ing it the task of initiating anil
hearing complaints under all
non-discrimination ordinances.
Under present practice, the
council has no enforcement
powers of its own. Enforce
ment is done under the au
thority of the Commlslsoners
themselves or by various Dis
trict departments.
An advisory type of council
“was a big step forward five
years ago” but Is “no longer
adequate to the tasks now or
shortly at hand,” the chairman
add.
The council's present duties
are to advise and assist the
Commissioners in connection
with non-dlscrlminatlon pol
icies within the District Gov
ernment, and to investigate
complaints of racial or reli
gious conflict and discrimina
tion, which could lead to
breaches of peace and public
disorder.
Alexandria YMCA
Bans Integration Test
The committee of manage
ment of the Alexandria YMCA
last night defeated a move ,
which would have permitted ,
the group to decide whether to i
allow Negro members in the •
all-white branch. (
By a 7-to-5 vote, with three (
abstentions, the committee de- |
elded in a closed meeting to <
reaffirm its July 30 decision to
leave the integration question |
with the branch’s trustee com- i
mittee for consideration.
Alexandria Delegate James 1
M. Thomson, who is chairman
of the trustee committee and
a segregationist, has previously i
stated that he intends “to put
this question to rest for a long, i
long time.” ’
Among those attending the .
meeting were Fred D Carl, act- i
ing general secretary for the i
YMCA for the National Capital :
area, and J. Morrison Smith, i
president of the board of the
Y of the National Capital area. 1
Mr. Carl said he and Mr. 1
Smith urged the committee to i
take "positive steps to desegre
gate the membership and ac- .
tivities of the branch in the
Vienna Woman
Hurt on Route 7
The wife of a Vienna (Va.),
construction firm owner was
severely hurt yesterday when
her car was in collision with
a truck on Route 7 in Fairfax
County, according to police.

taken to Fairfax Hospital in
critical condition from a broken
back. She was reported to be
improved overnight and was
listed, as fair today.
Police said the truck was
driven by Tommy Joe Morton,

report. The accident occurred
near the G.E.M. store a half

Mr. Carl said the Alexandria
situation will be considered at
a meeting of the board of di
rectors of the YMCA National
Capital area next Monday.
HWC budgets agencies re
ceiving money from the United
Givers Fund, which contributed
$12,000 of the Alexandria Y’s
SIOO,OOO budget this year.
Mr. Carl and Mr. Smith told
the management committee
that the branch policy conflicts
with the HWC member agen
cies’ policy of non-discrimina
tion. This could lead to a possi
ble loss of UGF funds, they
said.
In other action the commit
tee accepted the resignation of
Committee Charman Donald E.
Jameson, who quit because of
the racial policy, and unani
mously elected William H.
Fields, secretary-treasurer, to
succeed him.
The resignations of Mr. and
Mrs. Wallace Lampshire, com
mittee members, also were ac
cepted. No action was taken on
the resignation of A. C. Havens,
jr., executive secretary of the
Y branch.
