Hearings Planned
This Week on
Counter Proposal

Proponents of the Presidents
committee plan for nine-man rec
reation board for the District
learned a lesson in speed from its
opponents.
While the heavily indorsed pro-
posal repeatedly lay over at the
Budget Bureau during the Easter
period waiting approval before in
PRODUCTION in Congress, opponents
persuaded Representative Hunter
of Ohio to introduce a counter pro-
posal of a three-man board and
hearings are scheduled this week
on the plan.
The introduction of the alterna-
tive plan came as distinct shock
to recreation officials working on
the approved measure, none having
heard of the plan prior to its in
PRODUCTION.
Even if we don't know who's
back of the counter proposal" de-
clared School Board Member John
Wilson at the boards last meeting,
we can learn a lesson by their
speed"
The Presidents committee bill
has the backing of the Board of
Education, the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
the Commissioners, the Office of
National Capital Parks and the
Board of Trade. Because of this
support from those who have con-
troll of the recreation facilities and
program, it was considered unlike
ly that the counter proposal would
be a strong opponent despite the
strategic swiftness of its introduc-
ticn.

Although he directs the entire

ON'SIoC IVY oilt'
can remember way back
when a city election was a real
tug of war. In those days it was
anybody's fight until the final
vote was counted. But no more.
The Democrats, under the able
leadership of a guy named Lane,
has changed all that, through
concerted efforts on the part of
the Democratic Organization
Club. These boys, realizing the
Importance of registration, pro-
ceeded to turn everything upside
down, and now, instead of the
COP having wide margin of
safety, they find themselves way
down stairs occupying the apart
ment so long used by the Demo-
Gratis. In other words the DEM
mics have healthy majority in
every ward in the City and there
is a definite possibility that all
the Donkey Lads will march in
on Tuesday, to the tune Of
"Happy Days Are Here Again"
The only thing that worries me
is that the boys will get careless
about this election next Tuesday.
Maybe, only maybe, they'll sit
back end figure George will do it,
which would be bad. So, if the
city organization is smart, they
might remember the story about
the turtle and the rabbit. And
they might also remember that
the COP nominee for Mayor was
once sent to the Maryland Sen
ate in spite of the fact that his
own party was smuggling him from
all sides. Its one of those poll
teal mysteries you read about
and figure it can never happen.
But it did happen once. and if it
should happen again it will be
because the workers have forgot
ten about little Dummies and tur-
tie soup.
For the past month the COP
ties have been doing a heap of
bookkeeping at their headquar-
tiers on West Franklin street.
Voting lists have been compiled
for every ward in the city, and
while they are trying to forget
Democratic majorities they are,
nevertheless, determined that
the Flag of RepubIcanism, or
somethin' shall not be trampled
in the dust on election day. Well,
in the last few elections, it has
rained Democrats, and maybe
after all, the banner will remain
unsoiled by dust. But amt
saying that mud won't mess il
up!
