In Memoriam

In loving memory of our beloved
Wife and Mother, Mrs. Ruth G..
Steiner, who passed away year ago,
May 30, 1949.
One year you've been away from US,
Dear Wife, we've missed you SO
We've missed your voice, your touch,
your smile,
Your caring for us all the while
Now God has taken you with Him
And since His will was thus
Well go on trying to understand
His taking you, to that heavenly land
One year has passed since that sad
day,
The one we loved was called away;
God took her home, it was His will
But in our hearts she liveth still.
And while she rests in peaceful sleeI
Her memory we shall always keep
A silent prayer, a silent tear
Beautiful memories of our Mother
dear
This world is full of folks its true
But there was only one like you.
Sadly missed by husband ant

Fairness for Firemen

The support voted by the Prince Georges
County Civic Federation for the mutual
aid" fire protection bill introduced by
Representative Sasscer of Maryland should
be helpful in securing congressional ap-
proval Of this desirable legislation. The
federation previously had indicated oppo-
Sition to the measure because OF a mis-
understanding.
The bill would enable District Of Colum-
bia firemen to assist In fighting fires out
side of the District without losing any
benefits in case Of injury in Maryland or
Virginia. The Washington firemen do not
have this protection under present law.
This Is manifestly unfair to men who stand
ready to risk their lives for the protection
OF properties and residents in nearby areas.
The Prince Georges County Civic Fed
Grafton at first viewed the bill askance, in
the belief that it should include reciprocal
protection for Maryland firefighters. How
ever, on learning that Maryland companies
already have coverage while operating
inside the District, the federation decided
to give the legislation its unqualified
Endorsement. It is to be hoped that Con-
gress will add its approval to this reason
able bill.

Bowman's conscience in his character as
a civilized citizen. He sought to reform
the procedures Of universal society so that
humanity might be protected against its
own tendency toward injustice, violence
and extravaganza. Thus he tried to per-
feet the Versailles treaty, the League OF
Nations, finally the United Nations. His
faith in each Of these endeavors was
religious In nature. He not only hoped
for them; he also believed in them as
alternatives to repeated disaster.
DR.. Bowman, however. will be remem-
bered for himself as an individual-and
this quite without regard to what he
accomplished or strove to do He was
substantial, reliable, trustworthy, but he
likewise was friendly, generous, helpful to
all manner of people. So it happens that
in his departure many OF his fellow
Americans feel bereft He himself resem-

Fraternity Spokesman Demands
To the Editor Of The Star:
The Washington Alumni Chapter Of the
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, comprising
hundreds of members in this CITY, is con-
siderably disturbed over the charges and
counter charges in reference to the National
Sesquicentennial Celebration, particularly
over the issue Of kickbacks on contracts.
We think, however, that in q celebration
Of American achievement Washington cit
izens and citizens Of the States should be
equally concerned over the failure of the
executive commission and the planning COM
mittees to represent all citizens. So far no
Negro has been appointed to either the
commission or to planning committees, Of
which understand more than 70 viii be
constituted.
The executive onicer Of this celebration
Is Carter Barron. This fraternity calls on
Mr.. Barron to make q public statement an
nouncing complete absence of discrimina-
ton and segregation in all phases of the
celebration and to appoint qualified Negroes
as members Of the commission and the
planning committees Else, we ask the Presi-
dent of the United States to remove Mr..
Barron from this appointed Office.
JAMES M. COGGS.

Commission was, established by Act of

Marshall Heights Again

IT has become evident that II the Mar
shall Heights redeyelopment program ever
Is to be carried out satisfactorily, CO.
operation of the residents Of this ILL
planned corner of the District will be
necessary. This cooperation has been dis
appointingly absent to date, partly because
bf misunderstanding as to the purposes
6f the program and partly because of an
understandable resistance to reforms
which affect property rights and ways OF
living.
J To overcome these difficulties officials
backing the stalemated redevelopment
project have come forward with proposal
for community protection and participa-
tion which is worth careful attention by
Marshall Heights residents and by Con-
gress. The proposal. as outlined by John
Nolen, jr., planning director Of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission,
Is, first, to provide for participation Of
Marshall Heights property owners in the
fedevelopment program through a special
corporation or other organization to repre-
sent the interests Of the residents, and,
second. to assure the residents that the
reconstruction Of the subdivision will be
tndertaken in gradual stages, so as to
minimize Inconvenience to home owners.
II the Marshall Heights citizens should
agree to this proposal, there is good reason
to believe that Congress would lift its ban
on the redevelopment project. The ban,
written into the housing law, prevents the
District Redevelopment Land Agency from
using any funds for this or any other
project which Congress has disapproved.
This restriction has blocked the agency
from making immediate use Of Federal
funds made available to 1t for slum clear
ance and redevelopment. The Marshall
Heights undertaking had first priority on
the redevelopment program until Congress
turned thumbs down on it at the last
session.
The modified program offers hope OF q
change Of attitude on the part of the resi-
dents whose properties would be involved
In the reconstruction enterprise. These
citizens should be given every opportunity
to learn all the details of the revised pro-
gram in conferences with the planners as
well as at public hearings. It would be
most unfortunate II the Marshall Heights
Iedevelopment undertaking were to fail
because of a lack Of understanding by
those affected Of the improvements
planned for their benefit. BY making them
partners in the project, rather than sub
jects of an admitted experiment, much II
not all of the resistance to the plan might
be diSSipated.

Dr.. Isoiuh Bowmun

Whether one thinks Of DR.. Isaiah Bow
man as geographer, conservationist,
an educator or Government counselor he
looms large. 1t was in the study of the
earth. as q dwelling place of man as
species that he first excelled. He was one
OF the great authorities in the science of
our planets land areas. But it was not
simply with maps that he was concerned.
They were only the photographic side of
his subject. Beyond them lay the peoples,
the customs, the cultures which from boy
hood onward he found fascinating. To
systematize existing knowledge of ethnog-
raphy in the widest sense of the word
and to add to that knowledge construc-
lively. was his major vocation. He leaves
name In this respect that should endure
long while.
But DR.. Bowman never was content to
be merely scholar. His talents included
natural skill in business. He was good
administrator Labor and money as he
saw them were values which ought not to
be expended heedlessly. At Johns Hopkins
he insisted upon every hour Of time and
every penny Of the university budget re-
turning full quantitative worth. Nothing
troubled him more than waste To avoid
it, he advocated and, against opposition,
effected reorganization program Of wide
dimensions and profound significance.
The same instinct for order and economy
motivated his interest in national and
international problems. War offended Dr..
