Home Rule for District
Doomed if the 6. 0.P.
Wins, tama|ier Says

It is the view Of Commissioner
Renah r. Camalier, Democrat, that
''you can kiss home rule for the
District goodbye If the g. o. P.
takes over"
MIR. Camalier expressed the view
last night over the weekly radio
broadcast, commissioners Re-
port" carried by Station WWDC.
Inasmuch as the program ended
the moment he made the state
ment, the Commissioner had no
time to elaborate for his radio
audience. But he discussed the
subject with the press afterwards.
win Never Enforce 1t.
Certainly, I mean it," he said.
"It may be a plank in the Repub-
|lican Party platform. but in my
opinion they will never enforce
it. They never yet, as a party,
have shown active support for
home rule"
Mr.. Camalier emphasized that
he was referring to the national
party. 1--WE can still count on the
support Of individual Republicans
and Democrats in Congress, but
the party as q whole will dis
regard it," he predicted.
The Democratic Party, on the
other hand, has been "tremen-
dously active" for home rule for
this city, he said.
No Word from Eisenhower.
ION the part Of the national
Democratic Party headed by
President Truman and Gov. Stew
enson, and all local leaders, in
cluding the commissioners. there
has been tremendous activity, +"
Mr.. Camalier said. 1--WE have con-
vinced Congress that home rule
is proper for the District."
Not only has he failed Ito hear
a word" from Presidential Candi-
date Eisenhower on the subject
of home rule, but II never heard
q word on that score from Hoover,
Landon and Dewey" earlier
q. o. P. Presidential timber.
"Our hope" Mr.. Camalier con-
cluded, ''lies with the Democratic
Party"

MuIti-MiIIion Dollar
Campaign Will Be
University's Biggest
By jones 6. Deone

Georgetown University hopes to
kick off a multi-million-dollar
building fund campaign in Oc-
tober.
A long-range building program
biggest In the university's his
tory-will be financed by the fund.
At least IL major buildings are
planned, a spokesman disclosed.
A new Foreign Service School
will be one Of the first buildings.
"A long-needed library will be an
other. Several dormitories also
are contemplated. So is a new
graduate school.
The Rev. Edmund A. Walsh,
s. j., head Of the Foreign Service
School, revealed that project last
may when he said ground would
be broken for a new building this
year.
To Announce Details Later.
University officials now are put
ting final touches on plans for
other buildings. They haven't
taken the wraps of yet because
they plan to announce details at
q banquet in october or early
November. The fund drive will
be the largest ever undertaken by
the university.
It isn't certain whether, the new
Foreign Service building will start
as soon as originally planned. The
spokesman indicated it might be
delayed. :
Alumni will be enlisted in the
fund drive. No specific amount
has been set as a goal.
Georgetown is about to start its
163rd year. Its latest big building
projects were the $1.25 million
McDonough Gymnasium, opened
last winter. and the new univer-
sity hospital, built in 1947.
The most recent major con-
struction prior to that was White
Gravenor Hall, built 20 years ago,
and Copley Hall. built in 1880.
White Gravenor houses science
classrooms and Copley is a dormi-
tory. Boulton Hall, a small, one
story classroom building built in
1948. is the only other new post
World War II structure.
In Wooden Building.
The Foreign Service School now
is housed in a temporary wooden
building at Thirty-seventh and O
streets NV. The library is made
quately lodged in old Healy Build
ing, along with University Offices,
and the graduate school occupies
the old hospital.
Sketches of proposed buildings
already are being printed. They
will be distributed at the kickoff
banquet. the spokesman said.
The building program is being
planned under direction Of the
Rev. Charles j. Foley. s. j., head
Of the university's Office of de-
velopment. The Office was created
by the Very Rev. Hunter Guthrie,
S. j., who became president of the
university in 1949.
Completion of the program will
take a number Of years, the
spokesman said.

Chicks Make Best
Use OF AntibiOtics

Young chicks, up to three weeks
old, seem to make the best use Of
antibiotics added to their ratiOns.
The value of antibiOtics in ra-

doubtful.
Delaware research and that done
in other states agrees on these
facts. says T. d. Runnels, of the
University of Delaware animal and
poultry industry department Run

the amount of extra growth from
antibiotics decreases rapidly. And
on good rations, the advantage
from antibiotics often stops COM

two pounds at seven weeks. With
poor rations the decline is more
gradual.
