Street Trash Protested
By Burroughs Citizens

Members of the Burroughs Citi.
zens' Association complained last
night of a lack of effort on the
part of the Department of Sani-
tation in keeping the streets OF
the area free from trash.
Several of the complainants
told OF attempting to obtain the
cooperation of the Sanitation De-
partment in forcing people who
leave trash in the streets to clean
up such deposits. They have been
told that such conditions can be
corrected only by swearing out
warrants against the people in
Volved and appearing in court
against them.
The group voted to support the
action of the executive committee
opposing the establishment of a
liquor store at Eighteenth and

Attorney General ]. Lindsay

trict Court to permit the State tc
intervene in a suit instituted by
more than 100 Negro parents OF
Prince Edward County.
The parents said their consti-
ltutional rights are being violated
because their children are re-

throw out the States age-old
segregation laws.

"a move in support of the Prince

said Virginia's segregation laws
are not violating the Federal

Bill Filed 10 Give
Dutch Girl Citizenship

Legislation has been introduced
by Representative Sasscer, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, to grant
American citizenship to a Dutch
lgirl who tended the graves Of two
Capitol Heights (MdJ soldiers
killed in Void War II.
She is Miss Johanna Stoots, ~,
of Limburg. Holland. Miss Stoots
her American friends cali her
Annie-is now in this country for
her third visit since the war ended,
and would like to stay.
Miss Stoots became a friend Of
Julius M. Vajda, jr., 20, of 620o
Shadyside avenue. Capitol Heights.
while he was stationed near Linn
burg with the 3oth Division. When
his unit prepared to move forward,
he asked the Dutch girl to write
his mother.
| Miss Stoots subsequently wrote
to Mrs. Helen Vajada and learned
that Julius had been killed. He
was buried in a cemetery about 40
miles from Miss Stoots' home, and
she started making regular visits
there to tend his grave.
Meanwhile. Mrs. Calvin Bladen.
of 800 Sixty-first street, Capitol
Heights. heard about the Dutch
girl who corresponded with Mrs.
lVajda. Mrs. Bladen'S son, Calvin
Bladen, jr.. also was buried in Hol-
land, so she started corresponding
with Miss Stoots.
Mrs. Bladen appeared with Miss
Stoots when a hearing was held
in behalf of her citizenship bill on
Monday before the immigration
Subcommittee of the House Ju-
dietary Committee. Representative
Sasscer introduced a SIMILAR bill
in the 81st Congress, but no action
was taken on it.

ltney nave not Deen worked out
until now.
Senator Johnston's bill would
give straight time-and-half over
time payments to employees earn
ing $1,000 or less a year. And
Iemployes earning more than that
would benefit to the extent that
they would get time and-a-half
for the first $1,000 of their salaries,
with straight time for anything
earned above $1,000.
True premium overtime now is
paid only to employees earning
less than $2,980 a year and gets
correspondingly smaller as the
salary rate increases.
The Administrations proposal
would not be quite as liberal as
the Johnston measure, but it
would be an Improvement over
the present system.
The Administrators proposal
is expected to be that time-and-
a-half extend tc those up to
Grades GS-S t$4,20r a year,. OF
GS-9 ($4,6o0). Thos, in grades
above tha would get more than
they now receive for overtime,
but they would not receive
straight time and a half.
The Administration will urge
that the maximum premium over
time rates be set by specific
grade rather than by salary. For
example, they cite the fact that
some years ago. when $2,980 was
set as the maximum time-and-a-
half overtime salary, it included
the bulk Of Federal employees. But
the increase in living costs and
the resultant series of Govern
ment pay raises mad $2,980 an
obsolete figure. But If specific
grade is set, then the bulk et
