Districts receiving home for
abandoned and uncared-for
children. Six hundred pa
thetically insecure and mostly
unloved children pass through
its portals annually; $50 to 200
are there at any one time prior
to returning to their own in
adequate homes or going to
better foster homes.
Some time back a group of
WaShingtonians became inter-
ested in helping these children.
Led by young marrieds Jac-
queline and George Pendleton,
but made up mostly of unmar-
riedS, the group regularly
helped conduct a hobby club
for the kids in the base
ment of one of the old
buildings. But in the SWITCH
around of buildings out there
a year and a half ago with
the National Training School
for Girls. the children lost
this one and only place of
meeting with these people on
the outside who took an inter-
est in them. So the latter got
busy.
Bachelor Calvin Cobb, one
of the Chevy Chase Clubs top

Mary Morrill, and three bach
elors, Philip Brown, Eugene
Thomas and Ed Platt, all
pitched in to help convert an
old lightless, heatless barn on
the place into real gymna-
sium.
The Jaycees's wives of
Junior Chamber of Commerce
members) helped too, and two
churches, the Chevy Chase
Presbyterian and the Calvary
Baptist, gave time and effort to
the project. Frank Sterret,
whose wife is the first vice
president of the Junior League
of Washington, donated his
services as a contractor, and
got the cement floor laid for
the price of materials. Plumb
ing and electricity had to be
installed, partitions put up and
the interior decorated. w. T.
Galliher Co. made a present of
the doors and windows, and
the electrician, Joe Patz, did
all the electric work for moth
ing. II guess" he said to the
group when he made his offer,
some of your enthusiasm has
rubbed off on me-" That's the
way it was all along the line.
So the Junior Village kids
will open their gym today be-
cause others opened their
hearts.

Withdrawn as counsel to the

night involving the rights Of
Federal employees to serve on the

The attorneys had written the

because they work for the Fed

opinions have sustained this po-
sition. The lawyers felt an $11

That 85-foot no parking zone
in front of the home of Sherman
Adams, assistant to President
Eisenhower, was still there to-
day-and probably will remain.
Democrats in Congress had
fun yesterday complaining about
the special zone in front of Mr..
Adams home on the corner of
First and C streets Sc. It's
right opposite the Old House
Office Building.
Mr.. Adams isn't interested in
the special zone, however. Quite
the contrary.
James c. Hagerty, White
House press secretary. said Mr..
Adams didn't even know of its
creation until the issue was
raised in Congress. Mr.. Hagerty

stepped forward to clear up the
situation. He said the police
started the whole thing to help
the traffic situation there.
Capt. Edwards explained it
was called to his attention by
the real estate agent who sold
the house to Mr.. Adams that
a traffic problem was created
by the steady stream of cars
discharging and picking up Wis
itors at Mr.. Adams home.
He asked the District Motor
Vehicles and Traffic Department
to make a survey. This was
done and the signs were erected.
The police captain said the
no parking signs mean that no
one can park there-even Mr..
Adams.
Street Too Narrow.
He said the street at that
point is narrow. When cars
stop to discharge passengers, all
traffice has to stop behind the
halted vehicles.

rector of the District Motor We

said the signs were placed there
to clear up a traffic problem. He
said there were no plans to re-
move them at this time.

THE commission must take its

Pride in Prejudice
BY Faith Baldwin

(Miss Baldwin is well-known
as a writer of novels and short
stories.)
People often take pride in pre-
JUDGE; they are not ashamed,
Heaven pity them! And yet pre-
judice-which is hate and envy,
which is the Shiny feeling of
false superiority = is, together
with nationalized greed, the root
of war, weapons to destroy peo-
pie and a nation.
I believe that the extermina-
ton of prejudice is not accom-
plished by wars but by ordinary
men, women and children,
through their attitudes toward one
another. In recent years the peo-
pie who have most helped me,
outside of my immediate family,
are Jews and Gentiles, Catholics
and Protestants. I turn to them
in trouble, I ask their prayers,
knowing there is one God for us
all.
Mankind's worst enemies do not
always fight openly, stating: 81
hate this or that. Take it or
leave it." Such are easier to meet
in combat. No, the worst are
those who operate as under
ground murmurs: the stabbing
word, so casual; the undermining
phrase, spoken in good humor.
Usually they declare their way
by saying, "You understand I
haven't shred of prejudice per-
sonally but -"
Never let it pass. Pin it down,
drag it out. Ask: Why? Ask:
When and where? Present your
rebuttal and in no spirit of apol-
ogy.
Propaganda is not only for
State Departments. 1t is for
everybody!
