Of her teacher.
Recently. she started attending

no way to restore it. But, thanks
to early help and modern teach

chance to live a useful and happy

Youth and age have different
values, but the gift of hearing is
precious to both.
The two people in the picture
were born just one century apart.
Benjamin j. Pierce first saw light
as a slave baby on a plantation
near Macon. Ga, in 1874. Linda
Allan is just 6. She was born
here and lives at 3465 Fourteenth
street NV.
Mr.. Pierce will tell you that he
is in fine Shape-that he never
had any illness in his 106 years,
except for smallpox a long time
back. He will talk about the
Civil War; quote scripture with
the booming voice of the preacher
he once was and show you how he
can read the finest print found in
the Bible. When he's wearing his
new hearing aid, he can hear very
we'll.
Girl Deaf From Birth.
Linda Allen, on the other hand,
can hardly hear at all. Before she
was born, her mother had Ger
man measles, and from birth,
Linda has been almost totally
deaf. s-
Three years ago, Linda's par
ents brought her to the Washing
ton Hearing Society Office at 2431
Fourteenth street NV. They
wanted her hearing tested, and
they wanted advice as to what
could be done for the child, if
anything.
A test showed that Linda's hear
ing was about 10 per cent of nor
NAL. They recommended hear
ing aid that would help her re-
tain that precious remnant.
Miss Rosamond G. Wright,
hearing aid consultant of the So
ciety explains: The more they
can hear, the more they want to
hear. And for some reason, the
more they want to, the more they
want to hear. And for some rea-
son, the more they want to, the
more they hear"

Hatch Act Amendment
Assai|ed by Arlington
Non-Partisan Forces

Proposed Hatch Act emend-
ments pending before Congress
represent a machine" effort tc
remove Federal employees from
any active part in the election ot
the Arlington County and Schoo
Boards, it was charged today.
Harley M. Williams, chairman
OF the Arlington Better Govern
ment League, leveled the charge
The Arlington County Board went
on record Saturday. by a 80 vote
as opposing the legislation. In
the minority were the two organ
ization Democrat members of the
board, r. Freeland Chew and AL
fred E. Frisbie.
Apparently there has been a
deal made between the Civil
Service Commission on one hand
and the Byrd machine and its
allies on the other" Mr.. Williams
asserted.
Mr.. Williams recalled the meas
ure originally was introduced in
the House by Representative Nit
chell, Democrat, of Washington,
and provided for lesser penalties
for violators of Hatch Act provi-
sions. The bill was passed by a
voice vote on February 9, 1949.
Stennis Rider Added.
After the bill went to the Sen
ate, Mr.. WilliamSacharged, Repre-
sentative Smith, of Virginia, "and
few other machine politicians"
went over to the Senate Commit
tee On Rules and Administration.
There. with the help of Senator
Robertson, Democrat. of Virginia
they had Senator Stennis, Demo-
crat. of Mississippi, tack on a
rider that purported to allow Fed
eral employees in the vicinity of
the District to take full part in
local party politics." Mr.. Williams
charged.
Opponents were denied an op-
portunity to present their views
to the committee and the COM
mittee has refused to make public
the testimony Of the proponents, ~
the Better Government League
head asserted.
"Will Suit Machine Fine"
After passage by the Senate the
bill went to a HOuse-Senate Con-
ference Committee, where it was
deadlocked until recently by the
refusal of the House conferees to
accept the Stennis rider, Mr.. Will
liamS said.
"On May 3 the Conference Com
mittee filed report in the House
which dropped the Stennis rider
but amended the present Section
Is of the Hatch Act that allows
the commission discretion to per-
NIT Federal employees to take part
in local politics in the Washing
ton area" Mr.. Williams declared.
"It will suit the machine fine if
Federal employees are excluded
from participation in local pol
itics in Arlington" Mr.. Williams
continued, because they know
that the only way Federal en-
ployes will ever be active in Sig
nificant numbers will be on non
partisan basis"
