LC.C. Will Present Certificate To Martin For Wartime Service

A resolution paying tribute to Dr. William H. Martin for his "un­selfish" and "efficient" service to Mount Vernon as Superintendent of Schools during the war years was unanimously adopted last night at a meeting by the Inde­pendent Citizens' Committee. The resolution, ready by the Rev. Em-mett A. L. Lampkin, will be for­mulated into a certificate of merit to be presented to Dr. Martin at a later date.

Dr. Martin is now supervisor of elementary schools and in charge of the adult education program. The resolution points to the extra burdens carried by Dr. Martin in the war years, including super­vision of distribution of gas, food and tire rationing cards for the City.

Also, he: "Set up and conducted salvage

programs throughout the school system resulting in the collection of many tons of vitally needed materials for war;

"Conducted the sale of war bonds and stamps throughout the school system, resulting in the sale of many millions of dollars

Reappraisal Urged To Boost Income

A reappraisal of Mount Vernon real properties, particularly apart­ment houses, on which the assess­ment valuation in past years has been reduced, might make addi­tional funds available for opera­tional expenses of the city and schools, Howard L. Stannard, teacher at Edison High School, told the independent citizens' com­mittee last night.

Referring to the resolution adopted by the Board of Educa­tion Monday in which the State Legislature was petitioned to enact legislation designed to al­low more money to be raised on real estate than is permitted by the two percent constitutional tax limitation clause, he said. "These reductions on assessed valuation were permitted as a relief meas­ure a few years ago, but now these properties have whole oc­cupancy."

The speaker concluded by rec­ommending that the assessments be restudied and revised upward.

as active member of the War Council, Council of Social Agen­cies and Veterans Bureau."

"Whereas, he performed these services in the face of adversity; of bitterness and rancor, he is more deserving of tribute because he has proved himself to be bigger than the task which was set be­fore him," the resolution states.

Increased Interest Urged In School Election May 7

A stimulated interest in the May 7 school election was urged by Mrs. William Law Bowman last night at a meeting of the Independent Citizens' Committee.

Announcing that voters must register on April 12 and 25 from 2 to 10 P. M. in their respective school districts, Mrs. Bowman asked that the winning candidates this year be the choice of a true representation, "not a minority representation as in past years."

Emphasizing that nobody can be deprived of his vote, School Trustee Frank F. Palmison de­clared that any rent payer, "even if you share a room," may ballot.

The Rev. Emmett A. L. Lamp-kin stated that according to Al­fred Gledhill, board secretary, returning veterans who are liv­ing with relatives because no other housing facilities are avail­able, will be deprived of their vote.

Colonel R. W. J. Flynn declared: "Thirty-five years ago we voted almost everybody in town except transients, lodgers and boarders."

"You should see that there are adequate facilities so that there will be no long ques as have oc­curred in past years."

Allierson P. Henderson asked if it might be possible to have a watcher at the polls for the com­mittee, and B. C. Harvey urged voters to cast their ballot early to avoid congestion during the evening hours.

I.CtC. Lauds Mayor AndHousing Authority

Resolutions praising Mayor William H. Hussey for "his vision and forethought" in planning for emergency hous­ing in Mount Vernon, and the Mount Vernon Housing Au­thority for its work in plan­ning the "650 units which will soon help to relieve the hous­ing shortage," were adopted unanimously by members of t h e Independent Citizens' Committee last night.

A third resolution urged the Board of Education to provide adequate inspectors and vot-iflg facilities at the May 7 school election and that the rules for qualified voters be clarified.

I

Fight Intolerance, Committee Urged

Charging that racial and reli­gious discriminat ion e x i s t s in Mount Vernon, Fred Rosenberg last night urged the Independent Citizens' Committee to undertake a project sponsoring the right of equal opportunity for employment of all men.

He also urged that the commit­tee investigate cases, which would then be placed before the Mayor's Inter-Cultural, Inter-Racial Com­mittee.

F u r t h e r proposing t h a t the I. C. C. form a labor committee to act as arbiters in strikes, he de­clared that "those on strike in Mount Vernon, trying to get a decent salary, now are going hun­gry."

Colonel R. W. J. Flynn took is­sue with the speaker, declaring: "I hold a union card and am a friend of labor, but I am not In favor of making labor a mockery."

Allierson P. Henderson stated that teachers invite youngsters to study musical instruments, then tell them that instruments are not available or that teachers are not available. Recommending an in­vestigation of this condition, he said: "I would not say that it is a

Mrs. Bowman Asks Board To Report On Superintendent

Criticizing the "secrecy" of the Board of Education in its study of applications for superintend­ent of schools, Mrs. William Law Rowman urged the Independent Citizens' Committee last night to go on record as asking school trustees for a press release.

"We ask the Board of Education to- take its citizens into its con­fidence," she said.

"We should have no secrecy in the choice of a superintendent. We would like to know what kind of a letter is being sent out, what kind of answers are being receiv­ed, what salary is being offered, what progress has been made to date."

"It's our obligation to speak now and know what's -going on. Before we bring in an outside superintendent we should have a survey of the entire system made by outside experts. We shoul 1 have a detailed account of the powers and procedures of the Hoard, the superintendent, super­visors, secretary and office per­sonnel, and buildings and grounds. We should h a v e expert out­side opinion on teachers' pay, on tenure, on courses of study, on the needs of the children, on the use of school buildings for adult forums and for adult education.

"If we go to federal or state government educat ion bureaus, such a survey may be accomplish­ed at a minimum cost," Mrs. Bow-

Candidates running for the Board of Education at the May 7 election may not ap­pear at a public meeting to be sponsored by the Mount Vernon Council of Home and School Associations April 9 at Davis High School, John J. Donovan told members of the Independent Citizens' Com­mittee last night.

Referring to an article in yesterday's Argus, in which Mrs. William M. Affeider. Council president, announced the meeting, Mr. Donovan pointed out that the Board of Education passed a resolution ftve years ago prohibiting the use of schools for candidates' pre-election appearances.

"There is nothing to pre­vent the Council from holding a public hearing where can­didates may be heard,'' Mr. Donovan declared, 'but not in a school building."

Constitution Pledges LC.C. To Promote Community Welfare

With only a ripple of dissenting votes, the Independent Citizens' Committee, with more than 60 present last night at the Italian C i v i c Association Auditorium, adopted a constitution and by­laws.

The purpose of the committee, as outlined in the constitution, is "to promote the welfare of the City of Mount Vernon • * • foster and promote all movements for the civic improvement and well-being of Mount Vernon as well as to encourage, by means of educa­tional discussions and forums, a generous a n d i n f o r m e d public spirit.
