LauSche to trounce the Sena-
tors brother, Charles P. Taft,
by the largest majority ever
given a gubernatorial 'candi-
date in Ohio.
In Seattle last week to at
tend the Governors Confer
ence, Gov. Lausche was feeling
no pain from the previous
change in the Ohio election
law. And he remained the
political enigma that he has
become by announcing that
while he did not approve of
the switch proposed by the
Republicans. he would have no
objection to signing such a
bill.
Weeks Delay
Surveying their difficulties
with their Democratic COL
leagues and the timorous mem
bers within their own party,
the Republicans decided to
hold off for a week. They re-
cessed the General Assembly
while they gave the bill a fur
ther look.
BY last Thursday, the en-
thusiasm had died down.
Senate Majority Leader c.
Stanley Mechem called in re-
porters and announced that
plans for changing the law had
been dropped.
"One compelling reason
was that there was not enough
time to set up a special pri-
mary election" Senator Mech
EN- said. 1T was the opinion
that the selection of a candi-
date should be made in a
preferential primary rather
than have the State Central
Committee make the choice"
He did not mention the other
factor which made the Repub-
licanS hesitate. That was that
Ohio voters do strange things,
and sometimes q Democrat
looks as good to them a. o
Republican.

Metropolitan Scene:
Public Wasn't Consulted
In KeniIworth Dispute
By John W. Thompson, Jr.

For today's lesson in practi-
cal politics. take the Senate de-
cision on who will haul coal
for the Potomac Electric Power
Co.
The story begins with some
background:
Half OF Pepco's coal is hauled
by Pennsylvania Railroad to
Foote street NE, a stones
throw from Pepco yards at
Kenilworth avenue and Ben
ming road NE.
The other half comes in over
Baltimore & Ohio tracks
from which it is switched to a
siding of East Washington
Railway Co. Outside of this
participation in the coal shut
tie, this tiny company does lit
tie but haul some supplies over
three miles of track from the
B. & o. siding to Seat Pleas
ant, Md.
From the East Washington
siding, the coal is hauled by
Capital Transit Co. to the
Pepco yard over tracks that
are the core Of the dispute.
Now District Highway De-
partment officials, planning to
use Kenilworth avenue to con-
meet the East Capitol street
bridge now under construction
with the new Baltimore Wash
1ngton Parkway, wanted to
eliminate these tracks where
they cross Kenilworth avenue
at Deane avenue NE. and then
parallel Kenilworth to the
Pepco yard. They wanted to
overpaSS Kenilworth over
Deane avenue for q clean-shot
connection with the parkway.
Clearly they did not want any
tracks on the overpass. And
they considered them a hazard
II they remained at grade level
at Deane avenue.
Object: Condemnation
The idea was therefore to
get rid Of the tracks-after
necessary condemnation pro-
ceedings. of course. Pepco,
meanwhile. would push for leg
tslative permission to build its
own rail crossing over Kenil-
worth avenue from it's yard to
the Foote street tracks of
Pennsy.
This might not have given
Pennsy all the coal-hauling
business. But it would have
made ashes out Of the profits
Capital Transit and East
Washington derive from the
present operation.
Thus the battle lines were
drawn. It was Pepco and
Pennsy against East Washing
ton and the transit company.
And the stage was set. The
Pepco bridge legislation was on
the Senate unanimous-con-
sent calendar, under which a
bill is brought up and passed
unless there is objection, about
the same time that a Senate
appropriations subcommittee
was marking up the big House
passed District budget.
East Washington, through
its president, a resident of
Denver, had access to Senator
Millikin, Republican, of Colo
RADIO. chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee. It also
hired a lobbyist with access
to Senator Beall. Republican,
of Maryland. He is on the
Senate District Committee and
ex off1cio member of the Appro-
priations subcommittee han
ding the District budget.
The Florida Wolfson inter-
ests controlling Capital Transit
Co.. meanwhile, kept Senator
Holland, Democrat, of Florida
close to the phone.
Senate Action
Senator Millikin began by
entering objection to the bill
authorizing Pepco to build its
own overpasS. This was a
holding attack.
While Pepco and PennSy
were concentrating their effort
on this measure, East Wash
ington and Transit pulled their
main effort in the closed ses-

Sions Of the District budget
subcommittee.
When the budget came out
it was tagged with a rider
protecting the East Washing
ton transit company tracks in
any overpass built by the Dis
trict at Kenilworth avenue and
Deane avenue. 1t passed with
this language and is now the
law.
Pennsy fought feverishly to
recapture the lost ground.
Senator Millikin, feeling his
constituent adequately pro-
tected by the budget rider
withdrew his opposition to the
Pepco bill. The measure was
brought up under unanimous
consent rule and passed. But
not for long. Capital Transit
in the shape of Senator Hol-
land entered an objection and
the bill was unpaSsed.
In the last hours of the
waning session PennSy con-
tinued to exert heavy pressure.
But adjournment came with
out action. The highway
department now must set
about redrafting its overpass
plans. It estimates the cost
at about $150,000.
y
Oil Lobby
Speaking of lobbying. two
big oil companies almost sue
ceeded in cracking the District
zoning law.
The bill cleared Congress
over the objections of the Dis
trict Commissioners and the
National Capital Planning
Commission. President Eisen-
hover used his first veto to
kill 1t.
It was a case Of principle
versus expediency.
The bill-backed by the
American Oil Co. and the
Sinclair Refining Co.-would
have allowed the companies to
do a rebuilding job on two gas
stations now located in areas
where the Zoning does not per-
nit gas stations. This Situa-
ton Is known to zoners as o
non-conforming use.
In these two cases, the sta
tions were there before the
District Zoning Act was en-
acted. The act provided that
such non-conforming uses
could be continued but not i'm
proved. The zoners refused to
allow the stations to be i'm
proved.
Here's where the expediency
came in. The oil companies
argued they had the stations
and would continue to operate
them. What they proposed,
they said, was to beautify
them rather than leave them
eyesores. It was a good argu-
ment. After all, there was no
way Of getting rid Of the sta
tionS as long as the companies
wanted to keep them.
But, said the District, there
are perhaps 5000 non-con-
forming uses in the city. Can
each Of them get legislation
allowing them to evade the
zoning statute? The problem
of what to do about non-con-
forming uses is a part of a
proposed zoning study. These
uses should be dealt with as a
group, not separately, and not
by spot zoning legislation.

ST. JAMES AME CHuHcH
CLOSES SUCCESSFUL MEMS
DAY OBSERVANCE

Rt. Rev. Carey A. Gibbs, pre-
siding bishop of the 18th Episco-
pal District AME Church, spoke
at the evening worship at ST.
James AME Church eliminating
a successful Mems Day obser-
vance on July 10. Speaking from
l Corinthians $50, the bishop
chose the theme Were Workers
Together With God" and develop
ed it from three main tapics. He
stated that y There are two roles
a worker may choose from -
change conditions or accept the
pattern as he finds it; p A work.
er may perform his duty for his
employer or with his employer.
The latter is to be chosen for it
gives the individual a share in
the assets; he also said that 81
The worker must seize every OPP
portunity to extend his assets
through spreading esteem for his.
! employer. He said we can do much
here on earth to work with God
by helping ourselves and others
obtain those goals of life which
will prepare us to live fully here,
and share in the kingdom of
Jesus Christ who died for our
sins. Bishop Gibbs cited many
parallels and gave several ex-
amples of what may be accom-
pliShed when men work with each
other rather than for each other.
He stated that the latter situation
gave the individual no feeling of
belonging" There were many
who attested that the message was
timely and enjoyable.
Morning worshippers heard DR.
Jacob Cunningham, director OF
the National Council of Christian
and Jews. He was introduced by
Mr.. H. Daniel Lang, executive
secretary of Miami Urban League
Mr.. Cunningham talked to the
group about "The Christian APP
proach to Freedom" which was
summed up in four main points
y We always know better thar
we do; we must be more concern
ed about one another and value
the individual; that y There j:
no escape from work and service
in obtaining freedom from any
thing, we must learn; however, Il
accept failure, pain, personal los!
and even death as Jesus did. H,
said the essential thing is to de-
pend upon God, that 81 we mus
guard freedom constantly or i
will slip from us; and a a chris
tan must keep himself free from

Gods voice saying "well DONE.
Music throughout the day was
rendered by special mems chorus
and visiting groups. Among those
were Mr.. Moses l.. Perry, eXecu-
tive secretary of Carver Branch
YMCA and Mr.. Arthur King.
Mr.. Charles l.. Williams made
observations of the days activi-
ties and complimented the vari-
Gus committees for their roles in
sponsoring such a splendid pro-
gram. Rev. r. J. Blaine of st.
Paul AME Church, brought a fl
nancial purse from his congrega-
ton and, the report of the finance
committee showed that more than
$1,000 had been collected during
the day.
Women of st. James are already
making plans to regain "face"
after the superbly programmed
display of talents and dignitaries
and financially successful Mems
Day observance. The pastor, Rev.
A. J. Reddick, DR.. G.. w. Hawkins,
Bros. Lee Wright, H. D. Williams,
Oscar Range and A. c. Smith
! should be especially compliment
ed for the event. DR.. K. L. Pharr
served fully and we'll in his role
as chairman of hospitality. Men
of st. James and their pastor are
very appreciative to everyone who
helped in any way to make the
observance great success.

"Friends And
Money"

"A friend in need, is a friend
indeed" Once upon time l had
what l considered a good friend.
l also had money. l loaned my
money to my friend, and now
I've lost both my money and my
friend.
Any person whom you have be-
friended who can't keep his word
or promise, under normal con-
ditionS, is not worthy of your
trust or confidence. In an effort
to get a favor from you, many
persons will go out Of their way
in offering variety of promises
agreements and other gestures, al
designed and calculated to OBJ
tain their desires. Many consider
themselves outSmarting you out
of your belongings, but actually
ther're only deceiving themselves.
However, I'm happy to include
the fact 41hat this is not true of
all people, thanks TO the spirit
of fair play.
Some people think too much of
the type of work that they do and
for which they have been train
ed, to be caught in any embar-
RAISING situation especially after
they have made binding promises.
II someone gives you some
work to do, and you discover
after a period Of time that you
cannot do the work, be honest
with yourself and the person in
volved. Go to that person, explain
the conditions to him in a honest
and truthful manner and give
him an opportunity TO make other
arrangements. You will be re-
spected and well regarded in his
opinion for so doing. You will be
a real man. Do not let the. greed
for money result in your losing
a real friend. Dishonesty never
pays off in the long run. To thine
ownself be true.

DADE COUNTY
SOCIAL STUDIES
COUNCIL.
SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES
FOR 1928
(This report Is to be printed In
four InstaIIments)
lnstaIlment

Meetings of the social studies
teachers, this term, have not been
more time wasting gatherings but
experiences of value and profit
that did not end Within the par
ticipating individuals themselves
but through them extended to the
truly important personages in the
school system, the girls and boys.
1t is hoped too that the families,
immediate communities and the
county generally have been bene-
fitted by our knowledge gained
and our work
Having conferred with Mr.. Joe
Hall, associate superintendent,
Mrs. L. w. Mitchell, chairman of
the Dade County Social Studies
group related to us the manner in
which we would be able to Sc
cure financial aid from the Board
of Education toward defraying
the expenses of our delegate to
the November 1852 convention of
the National Council for the So
cial Studies.
One of the principal events of
the year was that in which Mr..
James Simmons, a member of
our group, lectured upon group
dynamicS as a newer method of
instruction. His statements were
made more meaningful and con-
cincing by this illustration, a NOV
ing picture descriptive of a COM
munity group that employed role
playing as device for solving
a problem of theirs. 1t is worth
while to remember that the United
States Navy heavily endowed the
Group DynamicS Laboratory at
Bethel Maine because it felt that
Naval officers would be benefit
ted by the help to be gained at
Bethel. Socio drama and the 1866
discussion method" were describ-
ed by Mr.. Simmons who also
stressed the group dynamics is
not planned procedure. However
for the sake of effectiveness a
trained person should conduct
such methods of instruction. Our
lecturer felt that more is to be
gained by this method of instruc-
ton that customary methods now
in practice.

Should He Paint His Homes Sandstone Trim?

| stained at the top with smoke,
SCOT and dirt. Is there any way
to wash this clean or must the
shingles be painted? If painting
is necessary, must use special
paint?
Answer: Whether or not the
shingles can be satisfactorily
cleaned will depend upon the
amount of penetration of dirt
and SCOT into the surface. After
wetting the shingles with clear
water. try scrubbing. them with
a solution of one of the new
detergent powders, using about
a half cupful in a pailful of hot
water.
Start working from the bottom
of the wall and keep the shingles
under the area you are working
on thoroughly wet, in order to
prevent the formation of perma-
nent Streaks from dirty water
dripping from above. On stub
born spots it may be necessary
to use securing powder. Rinse
well with clear water. If results
are not satisfactory, the walls
can be painted with a rubber
base masonry paint.

Question: We recently painted
the trim on our house, and the
contrast makes our entrance
look dingy. There is an oval-top
vanished door with sandstone
trim around it, and the house Is
of red brick with white trim.
Would you suggest painting the
door or the sandstone? What
kind of paint should I use for
the sandstone? If this is not
practical, could you please tell
me how the stone could be
cleaned?
Answer: I think it would be
better if the stone was cleaned
and left in its natural color. Be-
fore attempting, the scrubbing
operation, brush off as much of
the dust as possible with a stiff
brush. Wet down the stone with
clear water, then scrub it with a
solution of one of the detergent
powders, using one-half cupful
in each pailful of water.
Stubborn spots should be
scrubbed with securing powder.
Rinse thoroughly with clear
water. For a change in the ap-
pearance of the entrance, it
might be wise to paint the door
the same color as the rest of
the trim on your house.

Question: The light gray as

side and outside walls. Can you
tell me what causes this and is
there some way to stop this? I
have been told that brick can be
waterproofed, but I don't know
what to use.
Answer: Water can penetrate
a masonry wall either through
defective mortar or soft, alb
sorbent brick. Frequently the
mortar is at fault. If it is soft
and sandy, repointing Of all such
joints will be necessary. Walls
built of soft. absorbent brick can
be made waterproof by applying
a couple of coats of transparent
liquid waterproof1ng, preferably
containing silicones. Masonry
material dealers carry this ma
terial in stock or can get it for
you.
