shows already in operation.
Miss Ruth I. Byrne of Boston,
who did plenty of Charlestoning
in her day, hadn't given the step
a thought for years until she Wis
tied New York City around
Christmas time.
There she found the 20's Sc
quences in the musicals had re-
vived an active interest among
the citizenry.
Steps Not Forgotten.
"I went to see Donald Sawyer

conducted the ballroom forum,

gether. We found we hadn't for

Although many teachers find
the Charleston is coming back in
its original form, others have
discovered that teen-agers par
ticularly like to combine the heel :
toe twisting step with some Lindy
or other jitterbug variations.
Eddie Hanf of Toledo, one of
the front-runners in the current
Charleston boom, taught it all
last season. Many of his younger
students reported home after a
Charleston class with Look, Dad,
I've learned a new step" Then
they'd break into the character
istic heels in, heels out step only
to have Dad swing right into it
himself:
New? I used to do that Is
years ago."
Although the boom is just
reaching it's peak, there are still
many places in the country where
the Charleston bombshell hasn't
hit yet.

Shapely Miss Jean Shambur-
ger. who directs dance school

anything about the step until

$4,000 Worth of Costumes Lend Reality Sesqucenenu PAGEANT
By james G. Deone

If 440 costumes, 10 wigs and
one false nose can do it, nobody S
going to doubt that George Wash
ington and his compatriots have
come back to the Nations Capital
this Friday.
Fridays the night the Sesqui-
centennial pageant, Faith of Our
Fathers" opens before an audi
ence of notables IN the new Rock
Creek Park amphitheater. Pru-
dence says it's best to wait and
see it before predicting it won't
set the fashion designers to whip
ping up another new look"
An attractive woman named
Mrs. Sue Sherman and % house
wlfely needle experts in history
wise Williamsburg. Va, have been
spending most of the last four
months making sure that at least
the feminine fashion-conscious
half of the Faith of Our Fathers
audience comes away satisfied.
For more than a week now, un-
der Mrs. Sherman's supervision,
hard-working Wardrobe Mistress
Jane Summers and several as
siStants have been pinning and
stitching the garments into rea-
Sonable security on 125 modern
Americans.
$4,000 Investment.
The costumes themselves rep
resent an investment of some
thing like $4,000. To get them
properly disposed is a task Miss
Summers doesn't expect to com
plete until the make-believe fore
fathers actually are trouping on
stage for Fridays opening. There
are more than 1000 individual
items. ranging from hair ribbons
to shoe buckles.
The costumes have come almost
straight out of the 18th century.
Mrs. Sherman, who has studied
at the University of North Caro-
lima and at Yale, has made
career out of historic fashions.
She took the basis for her de-
signs from the books and portraits
of the period covered in the
It was the era of buttons and
bows, and that is what the Faith
of Our Fathers cast will wear.
The bows adorn the floor length,
full-skirted gowns of the ladies.
The buttons on the suits and buff
and-blue uniforms of the men
are almost uncountable. That was
also, of course, the era of lace ruff
files, and these abound at the
necks and cuffs of the men, who

The 10 mems wigs are one OF
the biggest headaches of the show
according to Miss Summers, be-
cause, like real hair, they must
be kept clean, brushed and combed
regularly and carefully put away
after use. They are worth $50
each and aren't expendable, she
explained.
The shoes are another problem

Way Believed Cleared
For Appeal Of Ruling
On Segregation Laws

The way apparently was cleared
today for an appeal of Municipal
Court Judge Frank Myers de-
cision that the so-called lost"
anti-segregation laws of 1872 and
1873 have been repealed "by i'm
plication."
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark F. King, chief District
prosecutor at Municipal Court,
said the city probably would ask
the Municipal Court of Appeals
to reverse Judge Myers action
today in quashing an information
charging violation of the segre-
cation statutes against the John
r. Thompson Restaurant Co.
Judge Myers, in throwing out
the action. said he already had
made his decision on the 18th
century laws, and did not expect
to change it.
Il will not require the defend
ant corporation to be arranged u
he said. This information is de-
fective because the District is
again attempting to bring the
defendant to court on a charge
similar to that which I ruled on
July IL.
Recalls His Decision.
Il held at that time the anti
segregation laws of 1872 and 1878
had been repealed by implication
by the Organic Act of 1878.
therefore quash this information
on those grounds"
Mr.. King said the District would
be able to appeal Judge Myers
decision. The earlier decision OF
the jurist was not appealable, the
District decided, since his ruling
had been on the merits of the
case and not on motion.
In court as a SPECTATOR was
Ringgold Hart, who served as at
torney for the Thompson COM
pany during the first trial against
the restaurant chain for violating
the anti-Segregation statutes.
Pointing out that he had not
entered his appearance as attor-
ney in this case, Mr.. Hart said he
thought the first case-heard last
March - would, by agreement
serve as the test case on the issue
He charged this action was be-
ing brought because of pressure, y
and said he did not believe in suci1
an operation.
He did not explain what he
meant by pressured. Mr.. King
said he had no knowledge of any
pressure.
The present information was
filed after Mrs. Mary Church Ter.
rell, Miss Jean j. Williams and
Arthur E. Elmes were refused serv-
ice last week at the Thompson
restaurant at 725 Fourteenth
street NV. Mrs. Terrell, widow
of a Municipal Court judge, and
Mr.. Elmes are colored.
The original test of the old laws
which the Corporation Coun-
sells Office believes are still in ef-
fect-came when Mrs. Terrell ano
two other Negroes sought service
at the same restaurant early thi:
year.

III. Shimon Believed
Involved in Federal
Wire Tapping Probe

LAC 1CACAd a. 81 anu jury 1klpcSbl-
eating yelled charges of wire
tapping conspiracy today was to
call at least one other witness In
the case which, informed sources
say, involves Police 1t. Joseph W.
Shimon.
Although the jury probe, which
began yesterday, is strictly a
John Doe" proceeding, the fact
that all three witnesses sub
poened so far are detectives once
assigned to 1t. Simmons now dis
banded special squad is regarded
as a straw in the wind.
Detective John McHale, Of the
Missing Persons Bureau, appeared
for one hour before the panel yes
terday. Pvt. McHale's name ap-
peared in press reports last month,
as the FBI suddenly began in
vestigating 1t. Shimon on the
basis of a year-old report filed
with the Justice Department by
Maj. Robert j. Barrett, Superin-
tendant OF Police.
Statements Reported
Pvt. McHale repeatedly made
statement, contained in Maj
Barrett's report, concerning a
complaint by Aircraft Builder
Howard Hughes that his telephone
was tapped while he was here to
testify before the Senate War In
veStigating Committee in 1947.
Other police subordinates of 1t.
Shmon also submitted state
ments contained in the Shimon
report, it was reported. Whether
these included Detective Sergts.
George H. Robson and James G.
Bryant, who answered grand jury
subpoenas yesterday, could not be
learned.
Sergt. Robson, who testified for
half an hour, was before the jury
again this morning. Sergt. Bry-
ant was slated to appear today at
p. m. before the panel, which
lacked time to get around to him
yesterday.
Sergt. Robson, accompanied by
Attorney Charles E. Ford. had a
flat mo comment" to reporters
inquiries.
McHale in DOur HumOr.
At the close of his session, Pvt.
McHale. who faced the jury with
out counsel, likewise declined to
discuss the subject. But as he
hurried from the courthouse, he
smiled family and said: 1--we got
to meet my wife or I'll catch hell
somewhere else"
James w. Knapp. special assist
ant to the Attorney General, said
at the outset that two possible
violations of the United States
Code are under study. One is a
conspiracy statute. The other
says, in part, that mo person not
being authorized by the sender
shall intercept any communica-
ton and divulge or publish the
existence, contents, substance,
purpose, effect or meaning of
such intercepted communication
to any maximum"
Maximum penalty for the wire
tap provision is two years impris-
onment and $4,000 fine.
In the course of Maj. Barrett's
own investigations of his aide,
reports circulated that socially
prominent Washingtonians as
well as Congressman were in
volved.
Official sources have maintained
tight-lipped silence all along the
line since last August, when 1t
Shimon was shifted from his
Office in the United States Attor-
ney's Office to the outlying Four
teenth Precinct.
Shortly afterward, the special
squad, formed in 1910 to work in
the prosecutors Office in District
Court, was disbanded altogether
