Looking Forward at so
Third of a SeriesJ
By Cecil F. Hollond

A record-breaklng tourist and
convention business here nfe50
was predicted today by the Great
er National Capital Committee OF
the Washington Board Of sPfade.
The forecast came as the board
prepared for its 60th anniversary
celebration next week. It was in
line with the boards plan of look
ing ahead as we'll as backward in
its celebration of six decades OF
service in Washington.
Clarence A. Arata, manager OF
the committee, said he expects at
least 275 conventions will be held
in the Nations Capital next year
Won't Predict Number.
AS for the number of tourists,
Mr.. Arata was hesitant to hazard
a guess.
He is sure it will be many more
than the 100000 who visited
Washington last year and a sim
liar number rounding out the
1879 GOQl loG yCdl.
It will be the mid-century year
and the sesquicentennial celebra-
ton being arranged for the Ma
tion's Capital will bring many
more than the usual number OF
visitors.
AS a guess, Mr.. Arata said he
doubted that an estimate Of 15,-
000, 900 visitors in the next two
years would be far amiss.
AS it is, the tourist and con-
vention business is Washington's
largest enterprise outside of Gov
ernment.
$75,000,O00 Business.
The ESQ conventions here this
year and the estimated 3,500,000
visitors represent. in the opinion
of the Board of Trade experts, a
SIS, 900, ,000-a-year business.
OF this amount, it is estimated
that $50, ,000,0 900 will be left here
by tourists. and the remaining
SIS, ZOO, 900, by convention dele
gates.
Studies made by the committee
indicate the average delegate at
tending a. Washington convention
stays here nearly four and half
days and spends $101.31. Retail
stores. theaters. sightseeing serv-
ices and automobile services share
in the tourist dollar, along with
hotels and restaurants.
Owing to the magniture Of the
tourist and convention business
and its returns to Washington.
the work of the Greater National
Capital Committee Is an impor-
tant part of the trade board
activities.
Set Up in 1881.
The committee, was set up In
its present form in 1881 by q
merger Of the tourist promotion
activities formerly carried on by
the Board of Trade and the work
of the old Washington Hotel
Association Convention Bureau.
It's work is financed by contri-
button from Washington business
firms and not from the board 5
membership dues. It's budget of
$114 900 for the current year was
raised, as is each years budget.
by contributions from hotels, res
taurants, banks, real estate firms,
public utilities and many other
esta ablishmentS benefltting only in
directly from this business. In
all, 1,100 firms subscribed to the
tourist and convention fund.
An extensive program to attract
more tourists to Washington was
carried this year and will be ex-
tended in 1850. It included bill
board advertising, for the first
time by the committee. in II

Outside the Presidents rooms
and at the opposite end OF the
ward corridor, is a well-furn-
ished "day ROOM" similar to those
on other wards of the hospital. In
addition to the four private rooms,
doors from the white, arched-ceil-
ing also lead to private elevator
and small diet kitchen.
When ward 8" is. not in use,
and that's about 80 per cent of the
time, according to- hospital Of
ficials, it's simply locked and for
gotten. To put it in use, is almost
as simple.
Hospital officials said its oper-
ating expense involves only use OF
the air-conditioning unit, heat and
electricity. Nurses and attendants
are assigned from the regular hos
pital staff for the special duty,
and it is supervised by a ward doc
tor. Meals, at least thus far, have
been prepared in regular third
floor diet kitchen.
Officials said they did not have
a list of the former occupants OF
ward 8. But it would include, they
said, Gen. George C. Marshall and
1t. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith.
The idea for the elaborate quar-
ters was a special project OF Brig.
Gen. Wallace H. Graham, who
wanted place where the Presi-
dent could have privacy and Sc
curity required for the Chief Ex-
ecutive, as well as adequate facil-
tiles If and when needed.
Special facilities were provided
for the late President Roosevelt at
the Navy's Medical Center in Be-
thesda.

Warning

The nation is hitting the road
today to take full advantage of
the three-day holiday weekend.
The prospects are that Americans
travelling by rail, bus, plane and
car may set a new record. Espe-
cially heavy will be motor traffic
with some 80 million cars expected
to be out on the c%ountry's high
ways. High, too-unless motorists
take extra care-will be the death
toll from auto accidents. The Ma
tional safety countil predicts 215
will die on the highways unless
drivers take every precaution. The
weather in the south and for west
will be good, but the showers fore
cast for the plains states today are
expected to move to the east by

Mrs. Roosevelt
Hears Plea for Six

LAKE SUCCESS, May %. "a
NP)-Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,
chairman Of the UN human rights
commission was visited by a dele
cation here last week and pre-
sented with an eappeal in behalf
Of the six youths to die in the
electric chair for the murder of a
white furniture dealer.
The delegation wanted the COM
mission to intervene in the case
and investigate complaints that the
doomed youths were being de-
prived of their civil rights.
Mrs. Roosevelt, however, told
the delegation that she could not
permit its members to appear be-
fore the commission. She explain
ed that the group is drafting a
covenant not hearing complaints
Of violations Of a treaty which is
not yet in force.

across from the Union station and
the lack of this bit Of knowledge
caused him to fall into it when he

Havey Of the Terminal Railroad as
ISOLATION Of begging in the main

a few minutes later saw him re-
turn. AS the agent came toward
him, Michael fled across the street

Road to Job


With the announcement that the
Bell Telephone Company of Ohio
has hired Negro switchboard op-
orators in it's Akron office, the
effort to gain employment of
girls in Dayton should be stepped
up.
The struggle to gain employ
ment in Akron has been moving at
a steady rate since 1916. The Ak
ron Community Center initiated
the fight. But before operators
were hired in Akron, they were
hired in the Cleveland and Column
bus offices Of the phone company.
The explanation was that they
would be hired in area cities first.
Now that they have broken the
ice in non-area cities, the way
should be open for hiring in all
the large cities in the state.
Dayton should be the next
point of concentration. In re-

cent months the transit company
has been the target of those in
terested in opening up new areas
of employment for Negroes. The
efforts on that front should not
slacken. To put new pressure on
the phone company merely means
that the struggle should be broad
ened. More people should parti-
cipate. More people should join
the organizations in the front line
of battle. The Urban league
membership should increase as that
of the Equal Job Opportunity
Council. The strength of these
organizations is measured as we'll
by the size of their membership
as by the calibre of their leader
ship.
1t may well be that phone users
will be Don paying higher phone
rates in Ohio, for the Public Util-
tiles Commission has already grant
ed the company's request for in
creased rates. What better time

barrier of job discrimination in
