National Gateway Opposes
Report on Civil Rights

The National Gateway Citizens
Association last night voted to op-
pose the report of President Tru-
mans Committee on Civil Rights,
which recommended abolition Of ra-
cial discrimination in the District.
The motion was opposed by John
e. Chrisman, who said he believes
ut is unwise to stir up trouble
until the Presidents Committee
tries to act on its proposals."
Earlier Mr.. Chrisman, as dele
gate to the Northeast Council OF
Citizens Associations, reported that
the council voted last Thursday to
gather information from PTA
groups and other associations on
the advisability of adhering to the
recommendation of the Board of
Education that five white schools in
the Benning area be used for COL
ored children.
The association voted to appeal
an October Is ruling of the Zoning
Commission by which 300 feet on
the east side Of Bladensourg road
NE, from New York avenue NE,
extended to the District line, was
zoned conditionally as Industrial.
Mrs. Prudence Steving was ap-
pointed by Gilbert &c. Vincent, Es-
Esociatton president, as chairman of
the committee to nominate candi-
dates for an election at the next
meeting.
The meeting was held in Christ
Church at Twenty-eighth ~and
Douglas streets NE.

ID. T.. Commissioners
Can Never Represent
People, Roberts Says

District Commissioners can never
really represent the people OF the
District, no matter who selects
them, William A. Roberts, Wash
ington attorney and former peo-
pies counsel here, told the Ameri-
can University Park Citizens
Association last night.
Selection OF Commissioners has
been never democratic and seldom
eficient," he declared.
Mr.. Roberts, member of a COM
mittee which in the 1930s studied
plans for reorganization of the
District government, told his lis
teners it is important "for once
to get behind the proposal of the
House District Subcommittee for
District home rule.
Mr.. Roberts spoke at an associa-
ton meeting in Hurst Hall, Ameri-
can University, before an audience
of more than 100 who had expected
also to hear a discussion of the
recent report of the Presidents
Committee on Civil Rights. R. A.
Maurer, jr., president, said John H.
Connaughton, new president of the
Federation Of Citizens Associations,
was unable to speak on the civil
rights question because of severe
cold.
Washington needs a government
which will be cooperative with the
Federal Government and yet will be
brave and courageous" In protect
ing interests Of its own citizens, Mr.
Roberts told the association.
Reorganization would make pos
sible more effective and efficient
operation of many District Govern
ment subdivisions, Mr.. Roberts said
He cited as an example the need for
a welfare department co-ordinating
welfare and related activities.
"One year it's the jail with Its
escapes, and the next it's Gallinger
with its horrible psychopathic
wards" he declared.

Choose Jewels With. Care
Says Nine. Bidu Sayao

Brazil is land that is rich in
precious stones, including diamonds,
which may explain why Bidu Sa-
yao. the lovely Brazilian soprano
of the Metropolitan Opera Associa-
ton, possesses one of the largest and
most beautiful collection of Jewels
III the United States, including one
of the worlds smallest watches,
which measures only quarter-inch
in diameter, but consists of no less
than 70 parts.
Despite it's tiny size, this watch,
which required three years to make
and is of Swiss manufacture, clearly
indicates the time at glance.
Nine. Sayao bought it in Brazil,
wears it casually like a loose gold
bracelet and declares that it has
never given her the slightest trou-
BILE in the three years she has
owned it.

1ected, will add a dash of chic to

Creating. incidentally, means the
child's expressing himself, in Mr..
Berkowitz's language. 1t needn't be
in the manner of the masters.
The children will not be limited
to tempera paint or crayons. They
will have an opportunity to use
pastels, inks, monages and photo
grams. Some of the older children
will be introduced to elementary
photography, the making of pin
hole cameras and printing and de-
veloping pictures.
To handle the individual need
of every child for personal express
sion and his social need of working
comparatively in a group, the
morning is divided into two parts.

w Workshop, Junior
By Betty Miles

The Washington kshop
Washington's cooperative art Gen.
ter, has an offspring. It's been
christened Workshop, Junior, and
it's designed for children from G
to IA years Of age. 1t initiates its
parent IN supplying adventure and
recreation through the creative arts
At Workshop, Junior, We found
small artists in smock and pima
fore, wrist deep in finger paints
or busy with clay or crayon. We
met 6-year-old Barry Alpher, who
wants to paint mountains. He's
already painted boat, complete
with a crane "for lifting things
We met 7-year-old Michael Fine
man, who is primarily interested in
designs, and does both brush work
and finger painting.
Ten-year-old Mark Hickman is
interested in action" pictures. We
learned from Mark that finger paint
is "gooey, like cold cream" and
that you can only paint designs
with finger paint.
What we might learn from sew
eral sessions we can only surmise.
At Workshop, Junior, the talented
and the untalented may discover
and explore all the arts, try out
many materials, dig deeper into
present interests, and try their hand
at rev ones. The children paint
and work with clay, listen to music
while they develop rhythmic pat
terms with their fingers, their palms,
the sides of their hands in finger
paint-one even tried to use the tip
of his nose! His fame is wide
epread.
Happy children learn" Mr.
Berkowitz, director of the workshop
stated fatty. "A child with anxiety
can't learn. When he's happy, he'll
create. We don't teach him to Gre
ate. We try to provide him with
the atmosphere in which he can
do It,"

the plainest of dresses" says Nine.
Sayao, who will be. heard in recital
at Constitution Hall next Sunday
afternoon March D, "but one must
be very careful TO choose the proper
type of jewelry for ones ensemble. "
For instance, a diamond clip
or brooch appears quite fashy on
a sport dress. yet its brilliance will
enhance a dinner or evening gown.
Exactly the reverse is true of cos
tune jewelry. A large, bulky piece
or one obviously made Of synthetic
stones hardly harmonizes with an
evening frock, though fitting per-
fectly with an afternoon or sport
dress"
Incidentally, Nine. Sayao, patri-
otic Brazilian, points out that all OF
her jewels come from her native
land, but that since the outbreak
of the war she has not added to
her collection. II prefer, right now
to buy bonds"

can select any medium to work with.
During the last hour and a half
the children are divided into COM
mon interest groups. At present
Workshop, Junioor, is doing things
with puppets. One 14-year-old Is
working out play, some Of the
children want to construct posters
to advertise the puppet play, others
with mechanical interests assemble
the simple stage and construct the
settings.
The class is held Saturday morn
ings, from $50 to IL, and will run
for Is weeks. The Workshop Is 10
Gated at 2O20 Massachusetts, avenue
NV. For the parent who claims
II would like Jerry to do something
creative on Saturday mornings, but
couldn't you have something for
parents to do at the same time, since
I wouldn't want him to make the
trip alone from Arlington" the
Workshop has an answer. A pro-
gram for adults is in swing Satur-
day mornings, giving parents a
chance to work creatively, and also
solving the problem of the child's
safe arrival at Workshop.
The directors of Workshop spent
several months studying children's
needs in the District before OPEN
ing their doors. In talks with par
ent groups and from studies of other
programs in town and in other
cities, Workshop decided on a broad
program to provide for many inter-
ests and abilities Of children. For
the parent who claims MY child has
no talent for drawing" or my boy
likes to putter with tools but con-
siders art sissy" or Johnny keeps
quite to himself, I'm quite worried
about his insecurity with other chill
dren" the Workshop has tried to
supply an answer.

INEXPENSIVE RECIPES.
(Fronl Mrs. r. E. D., Washington. J
May I pass on to H. G. M. of Up
! per Marlboro, my four favorite
cheap recipes? These recipes are
not only very inexpensive, but they
are very easily prepared.
Lamb Something or Other"
Three pounds breast of lamb, !
whole potato for each person, car
rot for each person, salt, pepper and
II small onions. Wash lamb, and
boil with onions and salt until
tender. Cool. Slip meat of bones
and cut with scissors into bite size.
Skim grease off water. Then mix
cooked lamb, diced raw potatoes,
sliced raw carrots with water used
for boiling meat. When vegetables
are done, thicken gravy with flour
and serve. I usually divide the en-
tire recipe into individual serving
dishes and cover with biscuit dough.
Salmon Loaf: Mix together one l.
pound can of salmon, 2 raw eggs,
8 slices of fresh bread crumbled and
a penny's worth of parsley. Pack in
baking dish and bake 40 minutes at
$50 degrees. Serve with sauce made
by mixing salad, dressing and cut
up sweet pickles, thinned with a lit
tie pickle vinegar. (Tartare sauce.)
Ham Hash: One can of canned
luncheon meat, 6 or 8 potatoes. Boil
potatoes and grind up the luncheon
meat Mix and chop into nice hash.
We always serve a fried egg to each
person. (My family will not eat
this meat plain, they hate it. but
they love this ham hash"D
Goldfish Cakes: One box shredded
Goldfish, 6 or 8 boiled potatoes, egg.
Mash potatoes and mix with Goldfish
and raw egg. Shape into cakes
when cool and fry.
These are really cheap recipes,
the ham hash and Goldfish cakes
cost around so cents complete and
the salmon loaf and lamb cost
between IS cents and dollar and
they all serve six.
My family loves steak and chops
but in order to have them OCCASION
ally we have to use these recipes
often and they are good.
