training will again be rejected or
suppressed. If the Administration
brings up the Taft-Hartley Act,
the Brannan Plan or the socialized
medicine proposals, it will be
rather for the purpose of making
issues in the election than with
any real hope of securing their
passage.
Certain issues, however, should
be and probably will be dealt with:
First. There must be a revision
of the social security laws dealing
with old age pensions, a revision
which has passed the House and
is now before the Senate Com
r1ittee.
j believe comprehensive
study of this proposal should be
made on its own merits and in
relation to the many other Sc
curity systems now in effect and
the new pension plans of the
coal and steel industries, with
full consideration of the need
for adequate old age pensions
balanced against the tremen-
dOus cost to the taxpayer and
consumer.
SECOND. There should be COM
~ plete revision of the tax sys-
tenn, but Congress may content
itself with a reduction of excise
taxes and an increase in the cor
poration income tax. The net re-
suit is not likely to be any increase
in tax receipts, although. the tax
burden may be made more equi-
table.
Of course, the appropriation bills
will have to be passed. There will
surely be a strong movement for
economy and perhaps complete
block on new spending plans. Nc

BARBARIANS WITHIN

gressman H E. Randall of New York In this letter he
dicted that 10th century America would experience
severe period depression when Hundreds of artisans

WISE or
OTHERWISE
By E. o. BOND

When you have a youngster
nowadays you wonder if Doc got
an idea from the size of the
Storks bill.
We know some bright children
who should be applauded with
one hand.
Since I profit little by good
examples, which are rare, make
use of bad examples which are
plentiful.
The voice of conscience is so
delicate that it is easily to stifle
it; but it is also so clear that it
is impossible to mistake it.
Character is diamond that
scratches every other stone.
Some just can't unbend and be
human until misfortune comes
along and takes the starch out
of them.

THE POETS CORNER
METRICAL NIGHT

Iambic night comes round the hill
To push the dark against the sill,
But night is very seldom rude,
When in an anapestic mood:
For the night like a cat
on the Softest of feet
Puts her paw on the hill
and the house and the wheat
But now and then a stormy night
Comes with a rough trochaic might;
Canine-footed darkness leaping
Startles infants restful sleeping.
Then again the night comes stealing
With dactylic lines appealing:
Darkness regrettable,
Failure forgettable.
There is need for charity
When night is all spondee:
Point-blank pitch-dark hide-all
Cat-like blue-black nightfall

HIGHLIGHTING

Vic Damone is back in New
York at the Roxy. His program
is much the same as it was at
the Paramount last fall but he
is drawing record crowds. His
best number is You're Break
ing my heart, which he sings in
both English and Italian.
Movie at the Roxy is the Goth
Century Fox "Prince of Foxes,
starring Tyrone Power, Orsen
Wells and Wanda Hendricks.
Foxes" was filmed in Italy on
the actual location as much as
possible. Power plays Orsini and
Wells gives a superb perform
ance in the role of the notorious
Cesre Borgia. For a movie based
on history, Foxes" is excellent.
The movie was based on the
book by the same name but
much of the actual plot is left
out of the movie version. Had
the movie been based more on
the Borgias and Rome it would
/ have been much more interest
ing.
"Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo" will be
the hit song from Walt Disney's
"Cinderella". 10 Stafford, Dinah
Shore and Perry Como all have
excellent recordings.

Gaping the
CAPITAL
With BEN HAYES

COLUMBUS - Mrs. Isaac
Hayes, my grandmother, was "a
years old yesterday. She was
born on Little Creek, south of
Middleburg on Jan. 18, 1856.
Noble county was not quite five
months old.
Maria has always been a
strong woman and still is. Her
relatives, both near and distant,
number into the hundreds. Her
mother was Delilah Hesson, so
we're related to that large fam
lily. The Pryors, too, are kin to
the Huffmans. BY now, Grand
mas descendants probably ex-
ceed $50.
At "a, she is one of the oldest
persons in Noble county. She
was third of John Huffman's
eight children. She was married
before she was 20, and had II
children of her own, nine of
them boys. ..- ...
The name of Huffman has
been on the creek since 1888.
Christians Huffman brought it
there. He was the first German
to come directly from the old
country to Little Creek. He was
Grandma's grandfather. He lies
buried on the hill opposite the
, mouth of Wolf Pen with his two
wives, Margaret and Ruth.
Gerald and Eleanor Hayes and
/ visited this little Huffman cem-
etery last October when the
leaves were pretty. I jotted down
the date of Christian Huffman's
death-Dec. 13, 1871. He lived to
see the wilderness cleared from
this valley.
Other early settlers around
Wolf Pen (and above and be-
low included Thomas Morris,
Samuel Neptune, Andrew Nor
riS, James Mitchell, James Clark,
Wesley Luke, Henry Woods,
Hezekiah Cousins, Baxton Wells
and William Heiddleston.
This was 120 years ago. The
timber came right down the
creeks edge and deer, elk, wild
turkeys and an occasional wolf
still inhabited the hills. Church
Tuttle laid out Middleburg ir
1874.
My grandparents were mar
ried at Wolf Pen bridge in the
Morris home (now occupied by
the Leland Eichhorn family by
Squire John F. Morris. They
went to housekeeping in a log
house a short distance south Of
there, and my father was borr

Police Chief Promises
No Violence When
Public Pools Open

There will be no violence
when the Interior Department
opens six public swimming pools
on a non-segregated basis within
the next two weeks, Police Supt.
Robert j. Barrett declared today.
The police chief was backed
fully by Commissioner John Rus
sell Young in his pledge to MAIN
tain peace and order.
The assurance was given at the
District Building before a group
of citizens who met with the Com
missioners to seek q statement of
policy on the situation.
The Banneker, Mckinley and
East Potomac pools are scheduled
to open June and the Anacostia
Francis and Takoma on June IA
Il am very familiar with what
my duties are" Maj. Barrett told
the meeting.
II don't believe this group knows
what has been done. We have
had meetings already with men,
bers of the Interior Department
and Park Police, and we intend to
have more.
The police chief pointed out
that last year 125 of his men were
put at the service Of Capt. Mark
Raspberry of Park Police to pro-
tect visitors at the Anacostia pool
The citizens group was headed
by Col. Campbell Johnson. Others
attending included Mrs. I. w.
Gumbel, Mrs. Frances Adams,
Wilbur La Roe, jr., Isaac Frank
and Stephen G.. Spottswood.
Col. johnson said that a feel
ing had been encountered that
"the police department itself was
not terribly concerned with
whether this thing worked"
At this point Commissioner
Young expressed confidence that
the police department had no such
feeling but would fulfill its duty
of maintaining order, and asked
Maj. Barrett for a statement.
Last summer, the Anacostia pool
was closed when trouble started
after colored swimmers attempted
to use the pool. Until that time
it normally was used only by
white swimmers.
The Interior Department for
several years has been operating
the pools under an announced
policy of non-segregation. In prac-
tice, however, Anacostia, Takoma,
East Potomac Park and Mckinley
were used by white swimmers only
Colored swimmers also began
using Mckinley last summer. The
pool stayed open without in
cidents, but most white swimmers
stopped patronizing it.
The District Recreation Board
refused to operate the pools for
the Interior. Experimentation
the offer was made earlier this
year-leaving. the matter up tc

actually operated by Government
Services Inc, under contract tc
