HEW is called incompetent by judge hearing school suit Associated Press District Court Judge S.

Hugh Dillin said yesterday that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare is perhaps "the most incompetent department ever established in the history of American republic." Dillin attacked the department for failure to make information readily available about the long-range impact of racial desegregation plans in many American cities. Dillin, presiding over the trial of a federal desegregation suit against the Indianapolis School Board, requested the data last week and renewed his plea as testimony ended in the seventh trial day yesterday. The judge said he will hear closing arguments this afternoon and, noting that the 1971 school term will begin Sept. 7, said he will try to deliver a ruling during the week of Aug. 9.

After hearing testimony last week from an HEW official, Theron Johnson, Dillin asked Justice Department attorney John D. Leshy to provide him with HEW data concerning long-term effects of racial desegregation plans. Could 'have a relationship' The judge said the information could "have a relationship to this case." Dillin specifically, sought figures on the Negro and white population of schools before and after integration plans were adopted. Leshy said yesterday that he had found the data was not immediately available from HEW. "You would think a department responsible for this sort of work would be interested in the results of its Dillin said.

"If they don't have the information, they are the most incompetent department ever established in the history of the American republic. "What's the use of doing something when you don't know what the result is? It never occurred to that bunch of thinkers to wonder what's happening to what they're doing. That's nonsense." Another effort promised Leshy promised the judge another effort to provide the information by Aug. 5, the deadline set for attorneys for both sides to file additional briefs in the case. School-board attorneys concluded their case with testimony from Joseph.

He said his investigation showed some boundary changes which did not promote integration, although mentioned by another school official in previous testimony as encouraging a racial mix. slaying of Sharon Potts, 19, a hospital clerk.
