Suit Challenges
S|unn Program
For Southwest
Store Owner Fights
Property Seizure as
Unconstitutional
By George Beveridqe

Constitutionality of the program
to clear slums and rebuild South
west Washington has been chal-
lenged in a court suit filed by a
Southwest business property
owner.
The action on behalf of Mrs.
Goidie Schneider, owner of a
hardware store at TIC Fourth
street S.W., names the District
Commissioners as the persons
charged with carrying out the
program. It asks the courts to
|enJoin them from continuing the
project.
Mrs. Schneider's store is in the
first 16-block area slated for clear
|ance. A public hearing already
has been held on detailed plans.
Approval Of the plan by the city
heads could set the program into
motion.
Petition Filed by Son.
The petition was filed in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia yesterday by
Mrs. Schneider's son, Joseph H.
Schneider. AS president of the
Southwest Businessmen Associa-
ton. Mr.. Schneider has backed an
intensive drive to exclude Fourth
street business properties from the
plan.
The petition said Mrs. Schnei-
der, who has operated the store
at its present location for Is
years, would suffer irreparable
loss and injury if the defendants
are permitted to proceed fur
ther. :"
The basic constitutional ques-
tion 1t raised, however, was
whether authorities have the
right to seize private property
under the semblance and guise
OF public use" and then to sell it
to private investors. The petition
contends that two Federal laws
under which this is made possible,
the Redevelopment Act of 1945
and the Housing Act of 1949, are
unconstitutional.
Requests in Motions.
In separate m tions, Mr..
Schneider asked District Court
Judge Edward M. Curran to:
l. Grant a temporary restrain
ing order against any further ac-
tion by the commissioners.
2. Transmit to Chief Judge
Harold M. Stephens of the U. S.
Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia a request that the
constitutional issues in the case
be decided by a special three
judge tribunal.
Judge Curran accepted tn e
three-judge, court request. but re-
fused to issue the restraining
order. He told reporters he did
so because the motion was pre-
mature in that the Commission
ers have not yet ruled on the
project B redevelopment plan for
the first 16-block area.

Deft With Needle, Miss SoIIie Doesn't Feel Old

Miss Sallie remembers things
about the Civil War, which began
when she was 4. That war was
very close to her. In one day,
she recalls. Barnesville changed
hands five times.
Il have a little New Testament
now that one of the captains gave
me-" she said. "The pickets used
to come and talk to me.
"The men would stop for a
drink, some with their shoes gone
and feet bleeding. Mother gave
them shoes and socks and clothes.
"That was the Confederate side
Of the picture" Miss Sallie ex-
planned.
"The food then was hardtack
and beans, II they had time to
cook and eat them" she pointed
out. Nov the soldiers are fed
the way they should be-"
And Lincoln's Assassination.
She also remembers the day
Lincoln was aSSassinated.
Somebody came along and said,
"Oh, Sallie! We're done! We're
done!"
But we weren't" she added
with a smile.
Miss Sallie, who received her
education in "the little red school,
house" says she tries to be
modern.
But the old-time dancing was
much more to her liking than to-
days. especially the old square
dancing and waltzing.
But all can do now when I
hear music is to pat my foot" she
said. "And I do"
NO." she unused, II don't feel
old" And went back to her

The increase was IL per cent in
