Washington Story

A Washington story of high
Jewish interest was lost in the
shuttle recently. It deals with the
Jewish members of Congress who
were made honorary members Of
Congregation Adath Israel, one of
the largest synagogues in the
nations capital. Some time ago it
occurred to the congregations
board that it would be a good idea
to honor the Jewish members of
both Houses by comforting honor
ary membership upon them and
and their spouses. No sooner had
the decision been reached than
Rabbi Solomon Metz, spiritual
leader of the congregation, initi-
ated the machinery to put the
plan into effect. Letters went out
to all Congressman and to Senator
Lehman. The acceptances came in
with battling speed. When the
guests arrived at the synagogue
they were merrily cheered by the
more than 1000 people who came
to participate in the ceremony.
Senator Lehman was a bit late in
arriving and when he came in and
saw his wife sitting on the plat
form he rushed over and kissed
her. This of course brought on a
wave of cheers. After the honor
airy members were handed their
membership cards the senior
Jewish member of Congress,
Sabbath, was called to address the
gathering. Sabbath, who is
Skirting IS, related how he was
elected to Congress forty-four
years ago and of the dream he
always cherished of having a
''minyan" in Congress. He had the
audience laughing when he said
a margin above minyan in Con-
gress was too close for comfort.
Senator Lehman brought the au-
A. Il
hopes to be a frequent visitor to
the synagogue. When Congress
is entangled and in turmoil these
new synagogue members, we are
sure will seek and find the
guiding hand within the sacred
precincts of the house of worship.

little town.
AS for my opinion of the finest
chick on the Carver Campus, she
is none other than Bobbie Jean
Hunter. She has personality, frame,
eyes, legs, and everything. She
is really a cool dish, or a chicken
dinner as some of the boys call it.
When Dock Christopher moved
out, he doesn't know what oppor-
tunity he left some lucky guy.
To Bettye Haywood, Dorothy
Simms wishes to share her ability
to stay with some one who wants
her and leave boys who have fore
saken her alone. To Grace Whit
field, Edna Nero wishes to share
her ability to get boyfriend of
her own, so she can stop proclaim
ing other girls boyfriends. c. l..
Robinson and Ebert Lee chatham
are another pair of lovers, what
does Burnice think of the situa-
ton, huh? 1t seems as if Matte
Boyer and Joe Steed were meant
for each other. I wish could say
the same about Othello and Charles
Hill. What's happening between
Charlie Green and Lajoye, I Won
der. Does Harold Freeman really
go with Delois Brown or not. Will
Cowboy Brown and Allenan ever
get their business straight? Ona
Mae Baity, Supposed" to be the
queen of Broadway is really hav-
ing a time with all of her boy
friends, such as Joshua, James,
and Alonzo. wonder will juan
lta Eddings and Herbert Russ ever
get their business straight. / hope

SEGREGATION

Members of the Ministerial AL
lance led by Rev. Jerry Ford of
Tanner Chapel A.M.E. Church was
called in conference by the Green
wood Cemetery Board of Direc-
tors, last Thursday to discuss the
rumor that Negroes would be de-
MED burial in that cemetery.
The committee reports the re-
ception they received was rather
"gravey" but the director en-
phatically denied knowing any
thing about Negroes being ex-
cluded from Greenwood cemetery
and if any such statement had been
made it was without the knowledge
of any of the Board of Directors.
Rev. Ford stated to the Board
that the Ministerial Alliance had
been informed that the Green
wood Cemetery was contemplating
not accepting Negroes for burial
after plot 40 is filled. Rev. Ford
further stated to the directors
that he thought this would be an
unChristian act, if true.

Hearing Set Jan. 80
On Bond Issue Bill for
Montgomery County

A proposed bill designed to
clear the way for issuance of
Montgomery County bonds with
out referendum will be the SUBJ
Iject of public hearing January
80 before the county's delegation
to the General Assembly.
The hearing will be held at
p m. in the Rockville Courthouse
The proposal was submitted to
the delegation by the County
Council at meeting of the two
groups Tuesday night. 1t would
repeal the provision requiring a
referendum on any bond issue
exceeding one-quarter of l per
cent of the county's bonded in
debtedness.
In addition, the measure pro-
vides that the bonded indebted
ness of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and special
taxing areas in the county would
not be Included in computing the
county's. total bond debt.
County officials expressed the
belief the charter already contains
ample provision for petition by
the voters for a referendum on
any law adopted by the council.
Similar legislation was proposed
by the council at last months
one-day special session of the
General Assembly in Annapolis
The delegation refused to sponsor
it at that time, however. on the
ground, county residents had not
been given adequate notice and
did not have an opportunity to
study it.

Hume PTA Recommends
Site for Proposed School

A committee from the Hume
Parent-Teacher Association will
go before the Arlington School
Board Saturday with a recommen-
dation that a new elementary
school be built on Twenty fourth
street between South Nash and
South Meade streets.
In taking this action, the group
said. it recognizes the cost Of the
proposed location is out of pro-
portion to prices usually paid for
school land" Condemnation pro-
ceedings recently set a price of
$3.50 an acre for the 6.68-acre
site.
"The children should not be
denied proper school facilities, u
the association said, lust because
they happen to live in an area
Where school acquisition costs are
high"
The association previously had
recommended a site at Twenty
third and Navy drive but
the School Board rejected it be-
cause of the expense involved in
grading and leveling.
