Two sentimental songs which have

Gently came from the prolific pen
of 22-year-old youth who makes a
hobby of turning out tunes.
The songs are "Good-by, My Heart"
and After My Pattern of You" The
youth is Andy Melvin, an advertising
agency employe, who has written close
to thousand melodies since his first
attempt at the age of 9.
Young Melvin started making up
words to fit tunes when he was hit
by an automobile and had to spend
a year in bed. The melodies came out
of a crystal set or were whistled
about the house, and every note sug-
gested a rhyme to the bedridden bog.
When he was II he produced his
first song for public consumption. The
title was Hail to Bethesda" and the
song was written as the Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School song.
Wilson Holmes, free-lance drafts
man of the same age, collaboratec
on the school song, and the two OF
them have been working on songs
together ever since. If Andy writes
the words, Wilson supplies the music
and vice versa.
Andy admits he can't play, sing
or read music. but you don't need
that to be able to write songs, he
claims.

DOUBLE BLOSSOMS
RETARDED BY COLD
Blooms in East Potomac Park to
Be at Heighth Easter Sunday,
Saws Gartside.

The double blossom japanese cherry
trees in East Potomac Park will be at
their best for Easter Sunday. it was
predicted today by Frank T. Gartside
acting superintendent of the National
Capital Parks, who said the cool
weather during the last 48 hours has
retarded the blossoms. He based his
forecast on the outlook for continued
cool weather.
The buds have now advanced to a
condition that requires only "a hours
of warm weather to bring them into
bloom, Mr.. Gartside explained, adding
that he expects they will be in full
bloom by the middle of the next week.
In Anacostia Park 600 Towering
crab apple trees have now reached full
bloom. Mr.. Gartside said. These trees
border the waterfront drive between
the Eleventh street and PENNSYLVANIA
avenue bridges.
Another floral display of interest to
Washington and their guests will be
the pansy garden at Fourteenth street
and Waterside drive in West Potomac
Park, which will be making an ex-
cellent display in the next few days
authorities said.
The single blossom japanese cherry
trees, found around the Tidal Basin
in West Potomac Park, have practic-
ally ended their floral show. The
green leaves have all but pushed the
blossoms out of the scene.

House Member Values His Pride
At SIS, 900 IN Auto Dispute Suit

Chicago's colored Representative in
Congress. Arthur w. Mitchell, wants
$4,000 to compensate him for the blow
to his pride and feelings suffered
when police impounded his $1,700 au-
tomobile March 20 after he allegedly
had parked it across a neighbor's
driveway
He told the District Court in a suit
filed yesterday that he is a citizen
and taxpayer and has as much right
to the space as any one else. Although
the suit does not so state, it appeared
probable he would dispute the right
of his neighbor to preferential use of
the curb space. p,

Minor Traffic Violation
Cases,

Public hearings on bill to establish
a system of magistrate courts in
Washington will begin Monday at
1870 a m before the judiciary subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee, it was announced today by
Chairman McGehee
Sponsored by Chairman Palmisano

tablished in four police precincts. The
magistrates would sit at stated periods

and persons arrested during these
periods would be taken directly to

stead of being given ticket"
