Reilly Urges Critics
To Hold Fire on
Works Plan Details

John A. Reilly, president of
the Second National Bank and
chairman of the District Public
Works Committee, told the
Washington Clearing House on
Urban development yesterday
that critics should hold their
objections to details of the plan
until Congress has authorized the
program.
"Then," he said, there will
be plenty of time, before an ap-
preparation is made, to make
known any objections they may
have" { -
If Congress agrees to the plan,
he said, the Federal Government
will have to make a larger con-
tribution to the District so the
city can pay back that portion of
the cost it has borrowed.
Questioned by Panel
Maj. Gen. u. S. Grant, III,
representing the Committee of
100 for the Federal City, and
William Denton. of the Metro
politan Chapter of the American
Institute Of Architects, were
members of a panel that ques-
toned Mr.. Reilly after his talk.
Mr.. Denton asked Mr.. Reilly
if he thought it will be possible
to get sufficient money from Con-
gress to start the program. In
answer. Mr.. Reilly said he be-
lieves the District could borrow
enough money from the Federal
Government and pay it back
with interest. He said he does,
not favor bond issue to be
sold publicly.
Higher water taxes and the
institution of a sewer tax, which
the District does not now have,
would convince Congress that
the people of Washington are
not seeking a gift, but would be
willing to pay their share. he
said.
cat this very hour" Mr..
Reilly said, "the District is at a
serious croSsroad. AS banker
I know it is poor economy to let
plants and equipment become
obsolete"
Two Basic Problems.
The District finds itself today
with two basic problems. he
said:
l. It's old plant is obsolete and
there has not been sufficient
revenue to make requirements.
2. Expansion is badly needed
to service a community that
has grown from a tranquil
township to an international
metropolis.
The public works program
contemplates expenditures of
1885 million for a better water
supply system, sanitary sewer
works. highways and bridges,
storm sewers and schools, hos
pitals and other buildings.
Mr. Reilly explained the Dis
trict is asking the Federal Gov
ernment to assume fair share
of the cost Of the new improve
ments and to grant loan to be
amortized over a 50-year period.
"Some Of the great capitals
of the world have lost their
prestige because Of the lethargy
Of their citizens" he said. This
must not happen here"

Rowzee Attacks Plan
To Rent School Texts,
Raise Entrance Age

ss enO~
The Arlington School Boards
decision to impose a book rental
fee for students in the eighth
through twelfth grades and raise
the school entrance age was at
tackled today by a county board
member.
George M. Rowzee, jr., a Re-
publican. declared the citizens
Of Arlington are entitled to fairer
treatment than that which is be-
ing accorded them by the School
Board"
A School Board spokesman re-
vealed that some residents have
called to protest elimination of
the special program which adj
mitted 512-year-pld children to
school. Parents have been in
vited to attend d School Board
meeting at 8 pm. Monday in
the school administration Office
to discuss their viewpoint.
The School Board on Thurs
day announced the new en-
trance age and the book rental
system to absorb a $450,00O cut
in funds made by the County
Board.
The book re- htal fee will be 81
a year per pupil in the eighth
and ninth grh AIDES and SIS per
pupil in the 10th, 11th and 18th
grades, For IS years Arlington
has supplied free textbooks.
"PressuT e" Blamed.
Evidently tll be pressure groups
which took over School Board
judgment during the course of
the budget ST udy have gained
such strength and momentum
that the School Board finds itself
unable to control them," Mr..
Rowzee said.
He said "int ntelligent thinking
people" will recognize the School
Boards proposal as "the same
malicious political intent that
was used in presentation of the
1953-1954 budget. That budget
was deliberately designed to at
tempt to embarrass the County
Board"
THAT the School Board
chooses to reduce educational
facilities and sock parents for
the use of textbooks they have
already paid for in taxes is a
clear-cut admission of their in
ability or unwillingness to adjust
their budget in a business-like
manner" Mr.. Rowzee said.
A School Board spokesman
replied to Mr.. Rowzee's COM
ments that the School Board
believes in free text books and
would like to continue the pro-
gram but in the emergency Gre
ated by the fund cut had to
adopt the rental fee system
which is used in other nearby
communities"
State Law Sets Entry Age.
State law requires that chill
dren who become 6 years old
on or before October / must be
admitted in the fall term each
year. The law makes no provi-
sion for children who become
6 after that date and pays no
State aid for such pupils when
they are admitted to school by
local policy, the spokesman ex-
planned.
"The board decided to use
the available money where it
would benefit the children they
are required to educate by State
law" the spokesman added.
DR.. Barnard Joy, school board
chairman, said the County Board
had suggested that $33S, 900 of
the $45O, 600 cut could be alb
Sorbed by giving teachers a
smaller pay raise than the
School Board had proposed.
Most citizens familiar with
the school program, DR.. Joy
said. "agree a $3.50 sharing of
the cut by the teachers and the
community is more equitable
than the 'Sock-the-teachers'
plan suggested by Mr.. Rowzee
and his associates"

HOLLYWOOD.

Television has given work to
nearly every. old-timer around
Hollywood who ever donned
greasepaint. I even saw FL Bren-
del in one of those new situation
comedies the other night.
But there is one group Of act
ors which should have been re-
discovered by TV, but so far has
been given almost a complete
brushoff-the Indians.
One would think that with
the rash of 3O-minute Oess time
for commercially Westerns on
our screens there might be a
spot now and then for a good
old-fashioned Indian or two.
The American Indian used to
be the classic villain of Holly
woods horse operas. And nobody
could die more Spectacularly
than an Indian shot of his
horse.
When first started out to
check into the absence of the
Redskin from TV thought per-
haps it might be due to some
humane attitude prompting video
producers. Maybe they didn't
want to show the Indian as a
scoundrel fighting for his own
land any more.
But can reveal now that the
lack of Indians on TV springs
from no such noble motive. It's
strictly a case of wampum, or
money as we say today.
My authority for this state
ment is a veteran Indian actor
by the name of Redwing, who is
currently employed in the gum
shop at Paramount Pictures.
Redwing made his first picture
in New York in 1925. Since then
he's appeared in more Hollywood
epicS than he can remember. He

was Lupe Velez' brother in the
remake Of "Squaw Man"
Yes, it's true" said Redwing,
as we sat together smoking
ready-made cigarettes. CIV has
changed nothing. The Indian Is
still getting a raw deal from the
white man.
"Our white brother would
rather pay his $40 a day to a
white man and paint him up as
an Indian. When his scene as an
Indian Is finished, then he can
be used as a cowboy for the
same price," Redwing explained.
There are only about Is In
dams on the Screen Actors
Guilds rolls at present. Redwing
reports. Most of those who were
around have had to find other
work. or have gone to some res
ervation.
after all. when you can't
make enough to keep yourself
in buffalo, then it's time to move
on" said Redwing.
Chief Big Tree, who had plenty
Of Hollywood scalps hanging
from his belt in days gone by,
has gone back to his home in
Philadelphia. Standing Bear,
another well-known bow-and-
arrow artist, passed over that
Great Divide some years ago.
But there are still enough of
us around to ambush q wagon
train" Redwing insisted. And,
you know what? You can't fool
the kids today. They know when
you hang some feathers on q
white man and try to make him
look like an Indian, and they
don't like it. Especially when
they recognize him as a gangster
they've seen in some movie the
week before"
Redwing and some of his
friends put on a little war dance
for a Boy Scout troop recently,
and the members told him they
were Scoutcotting several TV
Western stars because they en-
ployed phony Indians.
AS I was giving Redwing the
Indian sign which means, well,
I'll see va around" his phone
rang. It was a casting agent ash.
ing him if he was interested in
a part on one of those "Ramar

shouted rather triumphantly at
Redwing.

grunted. "It's q foreign role.

itself on the channels. AS q

Of the dirigible Hindenberg at
the Lakehurst ON. ID Naval Air
Station.
It was as dramatic as such an
event could be when brought
back with the aid Of film. sound
recordings and live acting. It
was blended so well it was diff
cult to spot the breaks. Par
ticularly thrilling was the film
of the actual burning with a re-
corded description made by a
radio man sent to the scene to
get sound effects of an airship
coming in. He told what was
happening in a voice that shook
with the tragedy of the event.
Walter Cronkite appears on
each program as the personality
making a historical event sound
just as IL 1t were happening. Next
Sunday (WTOP-TV-6 PM it
will be the capture Of Jesse

Philatelists Immediately
pointed out that this state
ment is inaccurate in several
important details. That it was
prepared by an official unfa-
miliar with essential facts was
suggested by the consistent
reference to the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing as
"the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving"-a mistake apt to
be made by a stranger. The
declaration. to the effect that
most foreign nations" use
photo-engraving, of course. is
unhistoric. War and revolu-
ton have driven some coun-
tries away from the art of en-
craving. but they are return
ing to the more beautiful and
much more secure technique
as quickly as they can. Austria
in this regard has set an ex-
ample to the rest of the world,
France is producing magnif-
icent postage stamps by the
engraved process and the free
parts of Germany are being
guided by the same principle.
But the major result of Post
master General Summerfield's
publicity release was to stir up
a storm of indignation involv-
ing individual citizens and
groups who never before have
been concerned about anything

Not. since the appearance OF
the famous Roosevelt-Farley

the philatelic world been so
disturbed as it is just now by
the disclosure made by The

sible, consistent with the need
of the postal service. Although
hand-engraved stamps have
proved satisfactory for postal
requirements, possibly new
printing techniques can be
used, at no added expense, to
make our stamps more attrac-
tive
"The present method of
producing stamps by the hand
engraving method has been
used since the first United
States stamps were produced
in 1847. During the First
World War, q few stamps were
produced as an emergency
measure by the offset-printing
method. The hand-engraving
method is slow and more ex-
pensive than photo-engraving
methods and. because it is more
complicated. limits the number
of colors that can be Used.
According to the Postmaster
Generals announcement, the
Bureau of Printing and En-
craving will have a sample
stamp produced by the photo
engraving process to provide
a pilot test with a stamp of a
similar design reproduced by
the hand-engraved method.
Most foreign nations produce
their stamps by the photo
engraving method and it was
recently announced that
United States bonds will be
