WOODMONT ROD AND GUN
CLUB, NEAR HANCOCK. MD.
Mar. 22.-I've had it. I walked
%. miles along the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal tow path yester-
day following Supreme Court
Justice, William o. Douglas.
The pace was not fast. So we
were walking for almost 10 hours
and Washington is still almost
$50 miles away. I'm ready to
die any time now.
About Is mixers started OF this
morning in brilliant sunshine
under cloudless skies. I am going
to start the day with a ride in
the truck.
Enough is enough.
Start I'm Blizzard.
The start yesterday was in .
minor blizzard. We took OF along
the tow path Just before it enters
the long canal tunnel opposite

first day of spring but it GER
tainly didn't feel like it.

however. by a wonderful break
fast of bacon and hot cakes
dished out at the Cardinal Club
by three members of the Po-
tomac Appalachian Trail Club.
There are lot of remarkable
people among these mixers. es-
pecially the men who drop every
thing they are doing to go along
and cook for the hiking crowd.
They are Bill Richardson. an ex-
pert on the post Office stamp
cancellations operation: Charley
Thomas, q retired letter carrier.
who Just loves to go walking, and
c. F. (BilD Mersch. who runs a
pool room opposite the Four
tenth street car barns.
Mersch drives the truck which
carries the gear. Charley helps
out with everything. and Bill
Richardson does the cooking.
Good Pancake Recipe.
The way he takes care of men
constantly coming back for more
pancakes is amazing. There Is
only room on the griddle for
two cakes at a time. But he
keeps popping them on to the
plates as fast as they are brought
to him. The bacon is cut by
hand and cut thick. Bills recipe
for his cakes. which were deli
cious, is a simple one: One-third
underground corn meal, two
thirds white -four pancake mix.
He adds two tablespoons full Of
dried milk powder, one teaspoon
Of baking powder and an egg for
every cupfull of the dry mix.
The long canal tunnel is two
flfths Of a mile long and so dark
that we had to get out our flash
lights to avoid holes in the
planking where the mules lowed
the boats until 1924.
The cut on the east side of
the tunnel was rough going.
The tow path had been COM
pletely washed away. But it was
easy for the justice who tackled
the Himalayas last summer. AS
for the rest Of us. it's a good
thing we tackled it at the start
instead Of the end Of the day.
We never would have made it.
Hospitality Is Deterrent.
Back on the tow path we had
just stretched our legs and put
q few miles behind us when we
came upon q sign inviting us to

6. 0. P. Housing Bill
Will Pass Senate,
Leaders Indicate

Key Senators indicated yester-
day the Senate would reverse ac-
ton by the House and authorize
continuation of the administra-
tion's public housing program.
President Eisenhower's new
housing recommendations. which
included the construction Of
140, 1000 low rent units over the
next four years. went to the Sem
ate after the House refused, by
a 211-176 vote, to include that
part of the program in the bill.
Chairman Capehart Of the
Senate Banking Committee.
noted that the Senate has al
ways taken the lead in annual
public housing fights between
the two branches. He expressed
belief this year would be no diff
ferent and said: "I'd guess we'll
have public housing program
in the Senate"
Senator Maybank, Democrat,
of South Carolina, a leading pub
lie housing proponent. Is pushing
an amendment which would au-
thorize a total of around $780,
900 new units with a maximum
of 100000 in any one year. This
is the same program adopted by
Congress in 1949 but starved out
by subsequent appropriations
bills.
Committee hearings are still
under way. but Senator Cape
hart expects to have a complete
bill all ready for floor debate by
the 1st of May.
Along with Senators Capehart
and Maybank, survey of the Is
Banking Committee members in
dicated these others will sup
port a continuation of public
housing, possibly not to the ex-
tent suggested by Senator May
bank but at least to the 25,000-
a-year goal asked by Gen. EiSen-

The Senator said the subcom-
mittee was interested in "the
extent and degree, if any," of
the effect any past statements
OF Mr.. Sears might have on his
present assignment.
He said, however, that he did
not consider it important
whether Sears had made known
to his Congressman or others
that he was available for the job.

Later in the day, Bostop news
paper files showed that he had
hailed Senator McCarthy's re-
election in 1852 and had pre-
dicted the Senator would con-
tinue to drive "pinks and Com
mics out of government"
Quoted by Harvard Paper.
He also was quoted by the
Harvard Crimson, student news
paper at the university, as say
ing he had tried to raise money
for Senator McCarthy's re-
election campaign.
Senator Mundt said that Mr..
Sears statement here, in answer
to a reporters question, that
he had never publicly or pri-
vately taken a stand on Senator
Mccarthy or "McCarthyism"
was an answer (which could or
could not indicate lack Of
candor."
The Senator said it was sort
of double edged" question in
that "it linked two different
factors together" - Mccarthy
and "McCarthyiSm."
In the light of newspaper
clippings that have come to
light, Senator Mundt said that
obviously he (Sears) has taken
a stand on Mccarthy" But he
added there was nothing in the
record, so far as he knew. to
indicate that Mr.. Sears had done
so in regard to ''McCarthyism."
Difficult to Define.
Senator Mundt said he did
not know how Mr.. Sears might
have interpreted the question
that was asked him. Senator
said that he himself
didn't know just how you would
define "McCarthyism," that it
meant different things to differ
ent people.
In any event, Senator Mundt
said the subcommittee members
would talk with Mr.. Sears to-
morrow Ito reaSSure ourselves
and to be sure that there is
nothing in his background or
his present attitude that would
prevent him from conducting the

Williams 10 Join Fiqhf
AGAINST Tax Cuts on
Dividend Income
By the Asseeiutsd Pres.

Senator Williams, Republican
of Delaware. said yesterday he
will join in fight to knock out
of the general tax revision bill a
key section giving tax reductions
to stockholders on their dividend
income.
The Senate Finance Commit
tee, on which Senator Williams
serves, is opening three weeks Of
public hearings Tuesday on the
875-page measure which repre-
sents a complete rewrite of the
nations whole tax structure.
Says q. S. Can't Afford 1t.
Senator williams said he was
not passing on the merits Of the
dividend provision, but he con-
tended the Government could
not afford now to lose the mil
lions of dollars of revenue he said
was involved.
1T is ill-advised at this time"
he said.
Several Democratic senators
also have said they will try to
knock the provision out of the
bill, and the issue is shaping up
as one of the biggest fights
ahead on the measure.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia, takes the same posi-
ton as Senator Williams-that
the budget must not be thrown
further out of balance. Other
Democrats argue the dividend
benefit would be largely for the
wealthy and that what is needed
now is more buying power for
low income families.
Tough Battle Expected.
One Republican Senate leader
on tax questions told a reporter
privately he was confident the
dividend section could be re-
tained. but he conceded it would
be after tough battle.
Under the provision as ap-
proved by the House, up to $50
of dividend income would be
exempted from taxes the first
year and up to $100 thereafter.
In addition, the stockholder
could deduct from his tax 5 per
cent Of his dividend income the
first year, 10 per cent after that.
