Boy Lawmakers Pass
Identical Bills, House
Then Votes Repeater
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, April 23.-Mary-
lands boy legislature met for final
sessions today after bewildering
wrangle over the question Of de-
tailed university budgets.
The young lawmakers concern
with the University Of Maryland
appropriation requests paralleled
in some respects that Of the au-
thentic General Assembly. but the
lads added several twists all their
own.
For example. both House and
Senate passed duplicate bills 10
require detailed budgets. The
House then reconsidered and
tabled its version.
Meantime. boy Gov. Charles
E. Moylan. jr., calmly signed the
Senate version, stinging the House
into passage of a repealer-which
he promised to veto should it
emerge from the Senate.
There even was a pint-siZed
f1libuster attempt against a fair
employment practices measure by
Jabez Loane. Baltimore City Col
lege junior, but the bill was
passed anyway.
The Senate approved a measure
to admit students to the State
university without regard to color
and creed. and also passed a
measure similar to Maryland's S
AntiSubversive Act.
The Legislature adjourned for
a dance last night. but not before
some extra excitement when four
lawmakers were marooned for 90
minutes on a stalled automatic
elevator between floors.

ment these days out Great Falls

They got that way because four
girls have been painting STORY
book colors on the old hand-car-
we'd merry-go-round at Great
Falls Park on the Virginia side.
Its the first time my 40
animals have seen anything but
coats Of shellac." Ralph jackson,
owner Of the carousel and park
manager said. Even their eyes
were heavily shellacked until four
weeks ago, when these girls
descended on me and talked me
into letting them renovate
things"
The girls. all present or past
art students. were doing water
paints of the falls when they
spied Mr.. Jackson's carousel.
There aren't many men who
would say yes when four strange
girls rush up and say. Mister,
we'd like to paint your deer
cerise and your tiger deep aqua. IT,"
said Kit Scott, 10. Of 1907 North
Adams street, Arlington, one of
the four.
Blueprint Made First.
The girls made blueprints OF
the carousel. picking out two
shades of each of seven colors,
plus black and white. Gold was
used for trimming. To make sure
the merry-go-round would throw
off a mixture of color when it
turned, the girls painted paper
carousel and studied 1t when 1t
twirled..
Beverly Bowers, 1915 Twentieth
street NV. employed in the cir
culation department of the Army
Times, and Frances Sonnemann
81, of It'll North Calvert street,
Arlington, a secretary at Marine
Corps headquarters, said they had

He also had to clean, for the
first time. the original hand

carousel music is the only new
addition to the. amusement. One

During this time, he declared.
electric capacity provided by pri-
vate enterprise grew 10 per cent
and that provided by public agen-
cies-Federal and local-increased
500 per cent.
Mr.. Huntress, quoting from a
Hoover Commission report. said
that in addition Federal agencies
have tentative plans for the con-
struction of new generating ca
pacity equaling that of all the
present generating plants OF pri-
vate enterprise in the whole United

proposal a "collectivist project"
that could not pay its own way.

After Dark
Carl Ravazza Wins Attention
Of Even a Hungry Audience
By Harry Macarthur

keep Bob Simpson operating In
the basement Sazerac Room even
after the Latin Quarter reopens.
Mr.. Simpson has admirers who
won't desert him for a mere
name" band, of II or even IA or
Is pieces.
Folk dance fanciers can do all
the quaint folk dancing they want
to do and we will 60 our way. but
we have discovered one reason to
welcome folk dancing. 1t is maybe
little roundabout. Anyhow, folk
dancing by folk dance enthusiasts
Is a regular Tuesday night feature
at Michel's. People folk dance like
mad to Michers gypsy violin and
Joseph Moskovici's cymbalom.
This, according to the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue, is entertain
ment and everybody gets nabbed
for that 20 per cent tax.
Since the amusement tax Is
being charged anyhow, the music
at Michel's can become entertain
ment, too, on Tuesday nights. It
isn't, according to the tax people,
unless somebody announces a
number or sings a song. Well,
this arrangement permits Phyllis
Joyce. the pianist-soprano who
used to be known around here as
Phyllis Schwartz, to sing as well
as play the piano on Tuesday
nights. Miss Joyce is a pretty
girl. a talented pianist and her
lyric singing is ample repayment
for lot of folk dancing.
