big stake in an increased Negro
voting because it spells the differ
ence in second class and first-class
citizenship" Lieut.. Lee declared.
When the Elks went out front
in this big drive to corral the Negro
potential registrant and get his
name on the books, Grand Exalted
Ruler Johnson again reminded
Americas teemihg Negro millions
"A voteless people is helpless
people"
The new Elks' campaign is an
other phase of the forward-looking
program of Grand Exalted Ruler
Johnson, who is now being hailed
as a new abraham Lincoln Of race
relations in the United States" 1t
was the keynote theme of his adj
dresses to his 54th Annual Grand
Lodge in Atlanta, Ga, recently,
at which he received four awards
for outstanding contributions to
American community life.
The new program is the first
effort on the part of any major
fraternal organization to coordi-
nate the strength of Negro groups
in the U. S. A. for one specific
purpose. 1t is highly significant
that the Elks, under Grand Exalted
Ruler Johnson, have taken the lead
IN trying to bring Negro organiza-
lions together to present a united
front in behalf of improving the
conditions of Negroes in the U.
S. A.
Grand Exalted Ruler Johnson
was lavish in his praise of Lieut..
Lee who sent the requests to the
big Baptist conventions. George
w. Lee is doing what is in my
heart" the Grand Exalted Ruler
said, land | call upon all Elks
everywhere to rally to his call and
let's get every Negro everywhere
registered so he can vote and get
what's coming to him. That is the
only way to do it," the Grand Elk
allied Ruler declared.
Lieut.. Lee specifically asked
church, union and other groups to
concentrate on getting Negroes

registered to vote in a non parti-
san program.
The record "Lieutenant Lee
pointed out, ''shows the state reg
istration of Southern Negroes as
follows: Alabama, $4,000; Arkan-
sas, $4,000; Tennessee, 10000;
Georgia, $4,000; Louisiana, 1OO,-
600; Mississippi, 10000; North
Carolina, 100000; Oklahoma, co.
600; South Carolina, $4,000; Vir-
ginia, 10000; Texas, $4,000; and
Florida, 125,OOO.
Included in the Elks' request for
united front are over ninety five
Negro organizations and groups.
The entire drive is being coordi-
mated by Lieutenant Lee, and
Grand Exalted Ruler Johnson
who conceived the whole idea-is
sparlng no time or effort to get
the program to rolling into high
gear.
A final comment on it had this
to say: at is a drive that demands
coordination through the pastors
and their churches, through labor
unions, NAACP branches, civic or
CARNATIONS and the Negro press"
The challenge is clear and definite

The Districts slum problem
will be subjected to another as
sault tomorrow when the Com
missioners meet in special session
to discuss again what can be
done about it.
The city already has a plan
for "ameliorating slum condi-
tons" It is tucked away in a
dark file in the District Build
ing and has been for nearly
three years.
Tomorrow'S meeting was in
spired by a speech last week by
w. Yates Cook, prepayment Of
the Baltimore Plan.
Mr.. Cook, now associated with
the National Association of
Home Builders, got much public
notice when he worked for the
city of Baltimore. The plan ba-
sically is a strict enforcement of
health and housing codes.
The Baltimore Plan features
a block by block attack on slums
through enforcement of regula-
tions. 1t depends on an overall
housing code and a special Hous-
ing Court where reluctant land
lords are tried.
Enforcement Lays.
The District has no housing
code covering all types of dwell
ingS.
It has archaic laws which allow
such facilities as outside toilets
to exist. The District agencies
such as the Health Department
are woefully short of manpower
even to enforce the regulations
that do exist.
It's admitted frankly that
present regulations are not en-
forced properly.
On the other hand, the Dis
trict does have agencies and pri-
vate organizations that have the
knowhow and want to clean up
the Slums here.
Urge 3-Prong Attack.
They all agree that a three
pronged attack is the only proper
way to end the Washington slum
| problem.
Here are the three actions that
have to be co-ordinated to solve
the problem:
/. Enforcement of housing and
health regulations. To be effec-
tive, this would require a hous-
ing code for Washington cover
ing all housing.
2. Stun clearance and urban
redevelopment. This is the
means for taking large areas OF
! the city and rebuilding through
cooperative efforts of govern
ment and private enterprise. Re-
development of Southwest Wash
ington is the beginning Of this
phase of the attack.
3. Public housing. The politi-
cal trend appears to be away
from public housing. But il
plays a definite place in any Stun
clearance program since it Is de.

variety, photographed while feed
ing, cruising or lying in wait for
prey. One Of the rarest types
is a two or three inch horned
blenny, which lives in oyster
shells and is said to be one of
the few fish to feed and guard
its young.
Mr.. Klingle and Mr.. Culver
watched one of these creatures
for hours. He hid motionless in
an abandoned shell, flashing out
like a streak of light from time
to time to snatch up some I'M
wary sea creature.
Tape Recordings Made.
Tape recordings are made on
deck of especially interesting
underwater observations.
Another unusual subject was
the spade fish, rare in this area.
and a frequenter Of tropical
waters. The fish has vivid Ver-
tical bands around its body, like
some denizen of the coral reefs.
The party has photographed
schools of Norfolk spots and
toadfish hiding under vari-
colored finger sponges and other
sea growths. One shot of the
toadfish at home strangely re-
sembles a frog nestled in a
marshy spot.
A group of small menhaden
had a strange reaction when the
powerful flashlight struck them.
They circled, tumbled and spun
in frantic, uncontrolled ma
neuverS.

Smear Campaign Is Charged
By School Board Candidate

James r. Miles, ST., one Of the
Arlington Independent Move
ment candidates for the school
board, has charged his opponents
planned a smear campaign and
they just do not intend to change
their plans"
He was referring to the refusal
of Nominating Conference candi-
dates Clark Heating and DR.. E.
r. Draheim to attend a meeting
to discuss "areas of agreement
and disagreement" before the
campaign.
The invitation was issued by
Richard L. Parli, Republican
candidate for another Office, a
seat on the Arlington County
Board.

The Nominating Conference
candidates said that, THE de-
generation into an emotional,
name-calling contest as referred
to in Mr.. Parli's invitation re-
fleets the attitude and actions
to date of no one other than
Independent Movement candi-
date James Miles"
All members of the School
Board have been nominees of
the conference since the board
became an elective body in 1913.
Since then, the school system
has undergone vast expansion

Daniel Gets New Post,
Helped Negotiate Truce

Rear Admiral John C. Daniel,
a member of the team which

the Communists, will become as
sistant Chief of Naval Personnel.
The Defense Department said
yesterday he would succeed Rear
Admiral Roland N. Smoot, who
viii! replace Rear Admiral Walter
G. SCHNEIDER as commander of
Cruiser Division Three in the
Pacific. Admiral SCHNEIDER be-
comes Assistant Chief Of Naval
Operations.
Admiral Daniel was graduated

of Atlantic Fleet cruisers, later
moving to the Far East.

houses, and so forth-he said he
would need SO inspectors and
eight supervisors.
That would still not allow any
work in connection with a cam
paign to ameliorate slums," Mr..
Cary commented. 1T would only
get the present work handled
adequately"
Hearing on Alley Dwellings.
The Commissioners have sched-
uled a hearing into alley DWELL
ings. BY law, they must cease
to be used for residential pur-
poses after July /, 1855. The
hearing is to determine if this
law should be enforced.
Many alley dwellings, in
Georgetown, for instance, have
been rebuilt into fashionable
dwellings. But, in other sections,
some of the worst Slums consist
of alley dwellings.
The Young report said the Bal
timore Plan is not a substitute
for redevelopment, not q COM
plete solution of the slum prob
lem. It is a limited objective
campaign, it noted.
Must Avert Spread.
Enforcement of the District
regulations also has a definite
bearing on the progress of the
Southwest redevelopment.
Mr.. Searles said that code
enforcement is preventive. He
added:
1--WE RLA) can put in money,
clean up an /area, but we've
also got to keep the rest of the
city from getting into the same
situation at the same time.
This is more than philosophy"
He pointed out that the last
appropriation bill for the Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency
contained language which made
the loaning of money for re-
development dependent on the
efforts of the cities involved
to enforce housing codes. He
added:
IF the District gives it a
cold shoulder, it could possibly
lead to money for redevelopment
being cut off,"

remarked. For two days the
wind has been blowing. It has
clouded the bottom, and I'm
afraid that even on still days the
bottom is less clean than it was

But we have been able to
get some wonderful pictures in
the two weeks we've been oper-
ating in this area. BY the way,

That would be okay with me,
I said. I didn't want to waste

They hauled us to the surface

could be run under our aqua

No 'Feuding' on
Lowe, Fowler
Fears No ReprisoIs
On City's Refusal to
Separate Agencies

District Commissioner Renah
F. Camalier said last night he
fears no reprisals" from Con-
gress on the Commissioners re-
fusal to heed a congressional
request to separate the Budget
ONCE from the General ADJ
ministration Department.
The city heads decided Friday
to keep the agency where re-
organization placed tin the
administration department under
Schuyler Lowe. The request
that Budget Officer Walter L.
Fowler and his Office be set up
so he could report directly to
the Commissioners was made by
the congressional conferees in
their report.
Mr.. Camalier sized up the
situation in the weekly radio
program. Commissioners Re-
port" over Station WWDC.
Both Men Too Big
ct fear no reprisals by Senator
Case and Senator Dirksen," the
Commissioner declared. Both
Senators led the separation move
in committee and on the floor.
Those men are too big to under
take reprisals," Mr.. Camalier
said.
He said that, as he saw it. the
legislators merely made a sug-
gestion in good faith"
"It was worthy of consideration
and it received consideration by
u.s." the Commissioner said.
Mr.. Camalier further declared
that Mr.. Fowler, veteran of IS
years service with District gov
eminent, has not threatened to
resign over the budget office
issue, although he is eligible
for retirement.
"Mr. Fowler is not the type
of man vino would throw down
the gauntlet to the Board OF
Commissioners" he asserted.
While on the subject of the
authority of Mr.. Lowe and Mr..
Fowler, Commissioner Camalier
contended there is mo feud"
between the two officials
"They get along fine officially"
he said.
The Commissioners attention
was called to the scores Of letters
Congress has received from resi-
dents complaining of rent ins
creases since controls went off
here July 81. He promised that,
If there are any "unconscionable"
rent increases, he personally will
seek to re-establ controls.
II will not stand by and let
the people of the District be fed
should we say-to the dogs"
he said. He added, however. that
the Commissioners do not now
possess all the facts" on which
to consider reinstatement Of

Darker Than q Tomb.
Another what it, comes to
mind when Mr.. Klingle ordered
the lights out overhead and then
switched ours off also. It's darker
than a tomb down ohere. What
If =: but Mr.. Klingle interrupts.
See the phosphorescent flashes
out there-the pin-point of
light?"
Yes, the total darkness in front
Of our eyes Is jabbed with minute
pin pricks of bright light: They
flash on and off so quickly it is
impossible to identify the source
when our own lights come on.
These lights, or bait beams, are
focused out in front. They spot
subjects for the cameras, whose
shutters are geared to powerful
flashlights nested at either end
OF the window and in a container
hung from an overhead bracket.
They can be operated singly or
in any combination and are
timed to give a powerful illumi-
nation Tor 1/500th of a second.
Any action, even a life-and-

can be frozen in color film.
This highly specialized task is
the responsibility of Willard C..
Culver of the Geographic staff
who is taking the underwater
pictures off the coast of Mat
thews County, in the Northern
Neck of Virginia. He and Mr..
Kringle designed the intricate
aquascope and its gear.
We came out here from the
dock at the Pine Hall Inn, a

cation spot for several genera
tons of Virginians and Bay
travellers. We are fishing for
