Mrs. Keleher declared through

doctor. Only the doctor arrived,
and that was shortly before she
was wheeled away.
The eviction procession moved

pied the apartment for II years,
and had been in another one in

IS Goudy Parrots,
Out of Quarantine,
On Display at Zoo

Thirty-five gaudy parrots, with
feathers a bit ruffled after 90
days in quarantine, were placed on
display at the Zoos bird house to-
day.
The birds arrived here from
Colombia last winter in an air
shipment, and were cared for on
the upper floor of the reptile
house by attendants who used dis
infectants to guard against the
possibility OF parrot fever.
Ten years ago the fever spread
and killed many parrots at the
Zoo. Two keepers caught the dis
ease and were hoSpitalized for a
time. It was necessary then to
quarantine an attendant who re-
manned with the surviving par
rots until the danger had passed.
The new birds include three
color combinations of macaws-
red and blue: red. yellow and blue
and blue and yellow, along with
three species of much smaller
parrots.
Import restrictions were placed
on parrots some 20 years ago, and
ZOOS allowed to bring them into
the country must keep them in
quarantine until danger Of infec-
ton has passed.

Recreation Heads Try
To Explain Stand on
Swimming Pool Plan
BY Colt HendIey, Jr.

Recreation Board members to-
day were attempting to draft an
explanation of their attitude
toward the Interior Department s
operation of six swimming pools
on a bi-racial basis this summer.
At its meeting yesterday the
board rejected resolution from
Harry S. Wender, board chair
man. in which full cooperation
in the project was pledged.
The board last month washed
it's hands of the pools-rejecting
an Interior Department offer to
take them over on a non-Segre-
gated basis and canceling the
morning programs for the pools.
Mr.. Wender said his resolution
was designed to let the public
know the board was hopeful that
the Interior Department would be
successful in operating the pools
bi-racially and would cooperate
short of actual participation. OPP
position developed on the grounds
that the board could not say it
would cooperate when it had
refused to cooperate last month
by withdrawing it's morning pro-
gram.
However, the members admitted
some sort of explanatory state
ment was in order and Milo
Christensen, recreation superin-
tendent, was told to draft new
resolution.
The meeting also saw James E.
Schwab. whose appointment ex-
pires on May 20, attack the In
terror Department for it's reported
attempt to purge him from the
board because of his conservative
views on the racial question.
MI. Schwab made a brief state
ment to the board in emotion
choked tones.
People may question my good
judgment. but not my good
faith" he declared.
Representative Chudoff, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania yesterday
launched a bitter attack on the
Mcmillan bill to transfer SWIM
ming pools here from the Interior
Department to the District Com
misSioners.
In speech on the House floor,
the legislator said the measure
was intended to take the pools
from the non-segregated policies
of the Department and place them
under the District Recreation
Board for operation on a segre-
gated basis.

Rush-Hour Cars Move
Easily on New Bridge,
Smoothly on Old One

1t was smooth going across the
new Highway Bridge this morn
ing for rush-hour motorists to
the District.
Gone were the old tie-ups which
used to back traffic up as much
as 2 miles.
And on the old bridge, Virginia
bound drivers found things some
what improved since yesterday
afternoon, although slight con-
gestion developed as the four
lanes from the bridge converged
into the two-lane approach on
the other side.
The traffic from the new bridge
moved steadily until it reached
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, where it slowed down
somewhat.
During the FIRST rush-hour test
yesterday afternoon, after the
opening Of the new bridge, traffic
moved slowly. but at least 1t
moved.
No one seemed to mind the few
snarls that remain to be ironed
out on the approach situation
Every one remembered the days
when cars were lined up bumper
to-bumper on either side of the
old bridge during morning and
evening rush hours.
One tie-up developed at the
Virginia end of the old bridge,
now used solely for traffic leaving
Washington, since the egress road
has not yet been widened to four
lanes.
Another showdown point was
several hundred feet beyond the
Washington end of the new High
way Bridge, which is used for
incoming traffic. Four lanes mar
row into three lanes before the
incoming road passes over Maine
avenue.
Police believe some of the tie
ups that occurred yesterday will
disappear in a couple of weeks.

George Frederick Miller was 10
years old today and he should
have "stood" in bed.
Instead, he walked up the steps
to the top of the Washington
Monument.
AS a result there was formed
in Washington a new organization

be known as the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to News

The writer, and first president
Of SPCN, walked to the top of

many people who have walked to

For GoIIinger After Eviction

MRS. Anna L. DOLLY keleher'S

with Health Department officials
this afternoon about the pos

DR.. P. A. E. Stebbing, Gallinger

If it is, determined she Is a tuber-
culosis patient, however, he said
financial considerations do not ap-

Hurry Cain, Talking Senator,
Burns ( I'm in as Mats Gasp

Rightly or wrongly, the working
Senators at Griffith Stadium were
deeply impressed last night with
one of the talking Senators who
is scheduled to pitch for the Re-
publicans in the annual congress
sional baseball game May 10 at
Griffith Stadium.
Unheralded but nevertheless
impressive. Senator Harry Cain
of Washington appeared in the
Washington dugout. fully equipped
with uniform, glove and spiked
shoes.
Rushed Immediately into warm
up practice as the entire Mats
pitching staff watched with grow

verSity of the South pitcher be-
gan firing them in to Mickey
Grasso. The backstop, like Sen
ator Cain. is a refugee from the
State of Washington. After about
minutes, Mickey called out to
the Senator, asking him to ease
up bit as his hand was getting
pretty sore" At the end of the
workout, it was with some diff

"Hey. Ray, what are you trying

Senator's wrist?"
Just trying to show him how
to throw curve" Ray replied.
With speed like that he doesn't
need a curve" Mickey said.
No harm was done, fortunately,
and Senator Cain went on with
his practice.
Even Bucky Harris was i'm
pressed. II wish I could have
him about 10 years younger" said
Bucky. II wouldn't have any more
pitching worries"

Mr.. Wheeler reassured the Demo-
Gratis, saying:
After learning that my Demo-
cratic colleagues do not have an
other pitcher available for the
game, I have rearranged my

here and participate"
The game shapes up as a pitch

team likely to get more than 10

first look at a new. Streamlined
"Bookmobile." which at 1890 pm.
next Monday will begin carrying

10000 Gard Holders.
The library system has more
than 10000 card-holders and an
annual circulation of over 700 900
books. But. according to the off,
cials, that doesn't begin to mean
the public's appetite for good
reading is satisfied.
There is now one library Tin a
rented Store) east of the Anacostia
River, serving 5000 card-holders
There are at least 100, 900 persons
living in that section of the city,
however. many of whom want
library service, Assistant Librar-
ian Ralph L. Thompson pointed
out.
Sites for future branch libraries
already are owned In Anacostia
and the Benning area, as we'll as
Cleveland Park in the northwest,
but appropriations are not yet in
sight. Even these additions would
not fill the city's needs fully, ac-
cording to Mr.. Thompson.

ance" will start making the rounds
next week. It's why the first stop
will be at South Capitol and At
lantic streets. a center of growing
population, not now served by a
branch library, where the library
heads expect popular reception.
Scheduled Stops.
The bookmobile will be at this
first stop every Monday from
1890 to 2::30 pm. Then . it will
stop from 3 to $50 pm. at Nichols
avenue and Raleigh street Sc
On Tuesdays, it will stop at Mary
land avenue and Benning road

On Wednesdays it will be at
Pennsylvania avenue and Twenty
seventh street Sc. from 1890 to
2:30 and at Pennsylvania and Ala
bama avenues Sc, from 3 to $50.
Books will be loaned under the
same rules as at regular libraries.
They may be returned at any
branch, as well as to the bookmo-
bile itself. If they aren't returned
within the time limit there1l be
the usual fine.
