(By HARRY B. HUNT)
WASHINGTON (NBA Special)
A racial question in the national
cupUal. which promises to grow
to sizable proportions, has de
veloped around a proposal for a
bathing bcuch for the city's col
ored population on the Tidal Ba
sin opposite the Lincoln Memorial.
To understand just what this
moans, It is necessary first to
know that approximately ono-
third, or more than 160,000 of
Washington's Inhabitants are col
ored. ...
It is necessary ulso to under
stand that the point ut which tt is
proposed to build this beach Is
immediately opposite the Potomac
Park golf course and along the
Potomac Park boulevard, where
the city's elite prefer to drive on
hot days to get tho comparatively
cool breezes tl.at waft across the
water from the Virginia shore.
The thought of a bathing beach
at this point, which would be" fre
quented by thousands of the city's
poorer folks of color, is enough to
give a lot of capital 'fashionables
apoplexy. It mustn't happen, they
say. Awful! Dreadful! What is
our capital -coming to, anyway?
Voicing the viewpoint Mrs.
John 1). Sherman, president of the
Cieneral Federation of Women's
Clubs, has written Secretary of
War Weeks, under whose jurisdic
tion this park ."Improvement"
would soino, demanding that lie
tuko a "firm stand" against the
proposal.
Mrs. Sherman foresees grave in
ternational difficulties should the
beach bo developed at this point,
as in doing so It would be neces
sary to cut down or -remove a
number of tho cherry trees pre
sented to tho Capital 20-odd years
ago by the Mikado of Japan.
"It would come with very bad
grace on the parfc- of the govern
ment of tho United Htates." she
says, 4to cut down any of the
wonderful trees given us by
Japan."
Furthermore "Tho drive around
'the Tidal basin Is one of the most
famous In the world. You can
readily see what a collection of
parked automobiles would do
there,- particularly f;n.S. Balvrdays
and Sundays. There would sure
ly bo -trouble."
f( 11
The problem of a bathing beach
for the city's colored-''third ' has'
been complicated Ij? the fact that'
representatives of -the'' hegr -"population
have been resolute 'In re-'
fusing to consider a beach tn-Uny1
location except along the-Speed '
