The body of Dolly Madison
was placed in a vault there
in 1852, but was removed six
years later to Virginia. George
Clinton, fourth Vice Presi-
dent, was another for whom
the Congressional was but a
temporary resting place; his
body was removed to New
York.
Indeed, one of the ceme-
tery's claims to fame Is the
fact that it Is lined with
tombStOnes to dead who
aren't buried there. While
such cenotaphs are not un-
common in private cemeter-
les, Congressional has an un-
usually large number of them
in memory Of historic Amer
leans. The casual visitor
notes such names, for ex-
ample, as Henry Clay and
John Calhoun on those mark
ers. Neither is buried there,
although a child of Clay's is.
The cenotaphs were or
dered by Congress to honor
deceased members buried
elsewhere. The same type of
monument also rests atop the
graves of members actually
buried there. All together
there are about 200 of these
brown sandstone monuments,
all identical in design.
The first member of Con-
greSS buried there was Sena-
tor Uriah Tracy of Connect
icut. whose body was trans
ferred from Rock Creek

Cd. - La.) for his backing out
of civil rights debate on a tele-
vision forum program. Walter
White, secretar of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, this week
charged the Louisiana Congress
man with cowardice and asserted
that his refusal to appear on the
program "only serves to empha-
size that the Dixiecrats can make
no valid argument in support of
their anti-civil rights program"
Rep. Herbert had been scheduled
to debate Mr.. White on the WABD
television program Court of
Current Issues" on January 81
on the topic "Should the CONGRESS-
Pass the Presidents Civil RIGHTS
Program" He withdrew when
he learned that Mr.. White would
be one of his opponents in the
debate.
Public opinion is behind the
Civil rights program stated Mr.,
White. "The type of Justice dis
pensed recently by the State of
Georgia in the tragic Mallard case
has presented the American peo.
pie with convincing evidence that
the preservation of our democra-
cy depends on the enactment OF
federal laws against the crime

Winter Brings Forth
A Serious Community
Problem

Winter is a season in which all
of mans ailments seem to arise
from their summer Information to
plague him half to death. Take
car owners, for example. The
frigid blasts of winter play havoc
with cars, making them difficult
to start, nearly freezing the lu-
bricants making it difficult for
moving parts to turn over, plac-
ing the cooling system under the
sternest of tests, etc., ad infinit-
um.
1t is the season when mans
social ailments seem to blister
forth to challenge each individual
to stand beneath the banner of
human progress and participate in
the struggle which RACES in the
marketplace. This is the struggle
which challenges each and every
one Of us to fight not only against
reactionary persons, but against
mans own Incidence and fear and
Indifference to the terrible plight
of the sufferers among us.
Here in Dayton winter has an
ominous pain for many unfortun-
ates. To many in the west side
ghetto it is not merely a problem
of scraping together a few dollars
for fuel, it is also a problem of
surviving the ever-present dangers
of death thru fire. Here there are
an alarmingly great number Of
dwellings which are vertiable fire
traps. Winter after winter over
SO families r forced to live in
the ancient structure on South

"Just Another
MURDER On The
West Side
BY Jimmie N. Jones

It was "just another murder on
West Side" which ended in the
usual charge of first degree
manslaughter and the killer gets
one to twenty years in the Ohio
state penitentiary as was handed
to John Thomas Patterson, 80 of
1011 Washington st. for the kill
ing of Walter Price, on October
2 over the purchase Of a glass of
beer, by Common Pleas Judge
Lester L. Cecil.
According to Assistant Prosecut-
or Lloyd O'hara, Price had asked
Paterson to buy him a bottle of
beer in a West Side cafe where
an argument started and the two
went outside where the argument
was renewed and Price is alleged
to have struck Patterson in the
face with his fist, after which
Patterson drew a knife and stabb-
ed Price who died within a few
minutes in front of the place.
Defence attorney Gilbert Wait
ers told the court that Patterson
had only M previous record and
that was "Ten Years" ago when
he was charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons.
1t is the opinion Of the general
public onthe West Side, that the
life of a human being means
nothing according to the courts,
and that all a "killer" has to do
is get enough money for council
and then pray on the sympathy
of the court for a reduction Of
the charge and that is all there
is to it as has been the case in
many of the late killings on the
west side.
Further it is general the
opinion of the citizens, that eff
you want to get away with "mur.
der" do your killing on the West
Side" especially among the resi-
dents of that area.

Where are the voices of our
leaders who so often beat their
beasts over their concern for their
less fortunate brothers, who in our
many churches make their weekly
offerings, their quota of prayers
and tears for the disinherited? I
listen. l have been listening in the
past two winters when EXPRESS
past two winters when the Elk
PRESS has intensified it's cam
paign to get our leaders to or
ganize a protest campaign. But I
have listened in vain, for not a
whisper has been spoken by our
respectable leaders.
It would be a hopeless. outlook
for Dayton were it not for the
coming group of young people
who are slowly developing into
leaders thru their educating ex-
periences. We refer to those who
don't just talk against Jim Grow,
but who actually participate in the
real struggle against it.
We can only hope that we shall
be spared another fire tragedy in
Dayton, just long enough for
these young fighters to mature in
to real leaders who will not stand
for the continual enforcement in
this town of the Jim Grow con-
ditions which place so many of
our lives in perpetual peril.
Then, perhaps, the vicissitudes
of winter will lnot be so unbear-
able.

The course will run thru the
summer thus preparing you FOR
those beautiful fall clothes which
will no doubt have some of the
Grapes which would not do well
for the hips that might be
somewhat too pronounced.
Not only do we have to think
about those hips but about YOUR
self from head 10 toe. Make
yourself physically attractive.
Use one day to give yourself that
beauty treatment through en-
joying fruit juices only. In other
words make one day fast day
leaving og the heavy foods and
see how much better you feel
and how much better you will
look in the end.
Then, too, be sure to get some
kind of exercises everyday if only
through brisk walking. Walking
