'Pin-Up Queen Wonders If She Is One

What Marilyn Speirs wants to
know is whose little pin-up
am n"
The enthusiasm of some Of the
troops today resulted in the Dis
trict National Guard having Miss
Speirs as a "Pin-Up Girl" al
though the Guard says it isn't
official.
Miss Speirs, "a, of 3609 South
Four Mile Run drive, Arlington,
said she thought she was the
District National Guard pin-up
girl. She said go boys made me
their pin-up girl"
'It's a misunderstanding, /"
stated 1t. Edwin c. Eads, public
information officer Of the Ma
tional Guard.
"I got the go-ahead," declared
Winston Saunders, Miss Speirs'
publicity man. "As far as I know
she's the official pin-up girl of the
District National Guard"
Very Distressing, Says Miss.
Miss Speirs, a model, said the
whole thing was distressing and
added:
II was confused as to whose
pin-up girl I was. I thought it
was the National Guard"
The whole thing started two
weeks ago when Miss Speirs was
serving as a stand-in for a movie
star here. A shooting company Of
10th Century-Fox was in WASH
ington making scenes for "The
Day the Earth Stood STILL" a new
movie. Some 20 National Guards
men were also on hand as extras.
Miss Speirs said when the scenes
were done, the National Guards
men chose her their pin-up girl.
Case of Mixed Signals.
Mr.. Saunders explained he
called the Guard and understood
1t was okay to publicize the elec-
ton. 1t. Eads said the only
understanding he knew about was
that MIR. Saunders was going to
send pictures of Miss Speirs to
the Guardmen who worked with
her in the movie.
The difference OF opinion over
the official status of Miss Speirs'
title came to light when a Star
photographer took her to the Ma
tional Guard Armory to pose for
pictures.
Even II Miss Speirs ends up
without the title of Pin-Up Girl
for the National Guard, she al
ready has three beauty titles to
her credit. She was queen of the
National Capital Wing of the
Civil Air Patrol, Girl of the
Month at Georgetown University
and sweetheart of a technical
school.

Parking Change
Jams Traffic
AT Pentagon
Reservation Lists
Revised When New
Section Is Opened

There was tumult and shouting
lat the Pentagon today as new
parking regulations went into ef-
feet, followed by traffic jam and
many displaced persons.
Under the new allotment Of
spaces worked out by Pentagon
officials. some workers who have
held reserved parking places for
years found themselves jockeying
for spots in a 13-lane unreserved
area on the north side of the
building. Others who forgot to
bring their new passes also ended
up there.
Pentagon officials hastened to
lstate that the confusion was an.
|ticipated but should clear up with
in a few days.
Instructions, Map Given Out.
Recently a new parking area was
opened at the Pentagon, adding
some 1000 parking spaces and
bringing capacity up to $500 cars.
The changed parking regulations
followed. Everyone got detailed in.
structions and a map last week.
The new system splits Pentagon
employes into four classes, for the
purpose Of parking.
Glass l is made up Of colonels,
Navy captains and civilian en-
ployes with civil service ratings Of
GS IA and up. Lieutenant colonels,
Navy commanders and GS-13's are
in class 2 while class is made up
OF Army and Marine majors and
captains, Navy full lieutenants and
GS-11's and GS-12's.
Everybody else has to head for
the unreserved plot at the north
end of the building.
Old System Similar.
The old system was somewhat
similar, as parking spaces at the
Pentagon always have been as
signed according to rank, but
some who held reserved spaces
previously now don't qualify as
class l. class 2 or class 8. No
estimate Of the number who lost
out was available.
The old regulations assigned
cars by reserved lanes. The new
method allows a car to park In
any lane in the area to which It
Is assigned. e
The official instructions issued
employees stated that Parking at
the Pentagon is a privilege and
not a right"
i The furor was so great this
morning. however, that Pentagon
Iofficials said q statement would
lbe issued later today to clear UP

Park is the area southeast of

From the Days of Grant.
Many of the LIE Droit Park

lecture of the Ulysses s. Grant

fully preserved there. lie Droitl

still reigns there.
A generation ago lie Droit Park
was the best Negro residential
area of Washington. The better
houses were for the most part oc-I
cupied by the professional class.
They were physicians on the staff
of nearby Freedmen's Hospital,
professors at Howard University j
teachers in the public school sys-
tenn. lawyers and dentists. They
used the relatively large houses as
one-family dwellings.
Many Of them remain but the
recent expansion Of the area Of
Negro residence. due In part to
the outlawing Of racial covenants,
has caused change. It is the same
change that has occurred in thel
erstwhile fashionable white areas.
Big houses have been converted
into apartments and roomingI
houses.

The change could not be ig-
nored when LIE Droit Parks lead

American Virgin Islands Society, Inc.

which seemed to sap the moral
fibre of our people. Harrigan,
using his offices in the organi-
cations embarked on a pro-
gram of unifying the people of
the Virgin Islands. He not
only concentrated his efforts
on American Virgin Islanders
but he felt that the people of
the British Virgin Islands was
just as vital to the welfare of
our future, feeling as he often
expressed it, that we were one
people and without unity and
understanding, we were fight
ing a lost cause. Because of
his efforts in this direction,
the semblance of unity which
now exist can be placed to his
relentless efforts.
Virgin Islanders in New York
learned to live and respect him
not only for his patience and un-
~derstanding but also for his hui
NOR, his ability to crack a joke in
moments of crisis; his ability tc
improvise and compromise in
times of great stress. In spite OF
the great contributions he was
making to Virgin Islanders
through his work with the organi-
cations, Harrigan was restless, dis
satisfied. He felt that he was
ordained by God to a higher call
ing. His people at home must have
sincere and intelligent Leadership
and SO, yielding to the dictates Of
his will and guided by the spirit
of God, he left his people on the
mainland to take up his chosen
work in the Islands.
The task of getting to the heart
OF the people he loved was not an
easy one as the record will show
but his untiring efforts as a Coun-
Gilman, as a Labor Leader, as q
Civic worker needs no embellish-
ment. The record is there for DOS
terity. He gained the love and
respect of the high and the low,
the rich and the poor. His passing
was a stunning blow to those who
loved him, dearly as we'll as to
those who fought him bitterly. To
quote the st. Croix Avis: mot
only st. Croix, but the Virgin
Islands have lost a son whose eff
forts and outlook meant much,
and who will be remembered be-
cause he gave of the very best he
had, and unselishly."

lived well, laugh often and
loved much; who has gained
the respect of intelligent men
and the love of children; who
has filled his niche and ac-
complished his task; who has
left the world better than he
found it whether by an i'm
proved poppy, a perfect poem
or a rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to ex-
press it; who has looked for
the best in others and given
the best he had; whose life
was an inspiration; whose
memory is a benediction."
This statement truly quail
fed the type Of man we came
here tonight to memorable.
Virgin Islanders in New York
got to know him best as Presi-
dent of the American Virgin
Islands Society, Inc, where he
served for several years; TAX

which internal descention was

understanding, and an uncon-
querable will be was abled to
restore the confidence Of the
remaining members and bring
the organization back on an
even keel and so chart the
ship over the rough seas of
disunity. We can say without
fear of contradictions that he
has left a better organization.
During the years he served
as President Of this organiza-
ton, he also served as Vice
President of the American Vir
gin Islands Congressional
Council and with the same
f~lexibility of mind and under
standing heart he was abled to
work with the late Casper Hol
stein in building a strong, in
fluencial organization that has
contributed much to fertiliZ-
ing the seed of progress
which is growing in the Vir-
gin Islands. Harrigan was the
inspiring right hand of Casper

lem of the time was the glar-
ing state of disunity which
existed between organized

BY j. Glenn Beall
Congressman Sixth District


Aliens, many of them Communists
and criminals, are entering this coun-
try illegally. Senator Pat McCarran,
CD Of Nevada, chairman, Of the SEN
ate Committee on Internal Security,
in report on August 20, said that
aliens are constantly pouring into the
United States Illegally and it is
possible that there are now 5 million
within our borders. McCarran said
that Militant Communists, Sicilian
bandits and other criminals are
among the 5 million" creating a stu
alton potentially more dangerous
than an armed INVASION" The Senator
stated, "Unless we can round up this
rabble and dam this contaminated
stream, any nation with war-like in
tentions toward the United States
could find a ready made fifth column
in its vanguard" Senator McCarran
said that the Immigration Service of
the Justice Department has made
little effort to locate these foreigners
and deport them.
Italy, a participant in the Mar
shall Plan, is still shipping war-po-
tential goods to Russia. Official
figures released in Rome on August
20 show that Italy sent shipments of
more than SIS million in machinery
and electrical equipment in the first
four months of 1851.
The United Nations, as a whole
has sent to the Republic of Korea
S366 million in the form of relief sup
plies, equipment and services since
the beginning of the war. OF this
sum, $3.50 million came from the tax
payers of the United States and Sic
million from the taxpayers of all
the other members of the United
Nations.

Montgomery Countian
To Run For Congress

]. Paul Marshall, Montgomery
County member of the House of Dele
gates, has announced hen go after
the Congressional seat now held by
Rep j. Glenn Beall, Frostburg.
Marshall said he was announcing
his candidacy for the COP nominal
ton to Congress from the Sixth Dis
trict because of Bealrs decision to
run for the L. s. Senate.
Beall recently said he was think
ing of trying for the Senate held by
Senator Herbert r. O'Conor, but will
make no definite decision for another
month.
Marshall, a Washington attorney
and chairman of the Maryland FEEDER
alton of Young Republicans, was a
lieutenant commander in the Navy
during World War II.
In 1911 he was a research assistant
to Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio), and in
1916 he went to Korea as a member
Of the L. S. Preparations Mission. He
served as special counsel to the Sen
ate Committee on Interior and In
sular Affairs in 1913.

A billion and half dollars has
been cut by both Houses from the
812 billion dollars foreign aid pro-
gram with most of the cut coming
out of the economic aid. The House
approved a separate agency plan to
handle the funds outside the State
Department by establishing a Mu
tual Security Agency as administrat-
ing authority. The Senate refused to
adopt this idea and adopted system
which would give the Defense Depart
ment control of the military aid with
ECA directing the economic aid until
next July /, when the ECA is sched
uled to go out of existence. Point
Four assisting the worlds unde-
veloped areas, would be left to the
State Department. Both plans re-
move the State Department from full
control of the program as a whole.
Although the new controls law has
been in existence little more than a
month, the President is urging Con-
gress to change it in a $500 word
message sent from the White House.
