Washington's Japanese cherry
trees, a major tourist attraction
at this time each year, have be-
gun to redden the rim Of the
Tidal Basin.
The full blossoms, on whose
timetable an elaborate structure
of public ceremonies and private
visits is erected, may very we'll
appear on schedule at the end
of this month.
Already, however, the Akebono
cherry trees around the Tidal
Basin have taken on a faint
ruby-colored glow. The color
is caused by the emergence this
week of the tightly wrapped
little buds from their quadruple
clusters.
When in full bloom, the petals
will be a delicate pink or white.
Now, the buds are a deeper color,
pushing each day little farther
out of their green husks. The
Yoshino cherry trees in East
Potomac Park and around the
basin may show bud color next
week.
Elsewhere in the city's park,
early blossoms have splashed
new color in corners where until
this week winters drab tones
prevailed.

White House
Seen Backing
River Tunnel
Bill Under Draft
Repeatedly Has U. S,
Paying Extra Cost

The question of whether the
administration should support q
traffic tunnel instead Of a bridge
across the Potomac River near
the Lincoln Memorial is under
active study, but the matter has
not yet been presented to Presi-
dent Eisenhower, White House
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty said today.
Mr.. Hagerty made the state
ment when asked about reports
that the President had decided
to oppose construction of the
bridge authorized to extend from
Constitution avenue NV.
Other sources, however, told
The Star they believed White
House sentiment strongly IA
vored a tunnel and that a de-
cision was imminent.
Preparing Bill
A draft of specific legislation,
in fact. is under preparation at
the Interior Department, it was
learned, but was described as
being still gin the formative
stage" The draft repeatedly
would call on the Federal Gov
eminent to pay the difference
in cost between the tunnel and
the authorized bridge. The bridge
would be paid for by the District,
using Federal aid funds.
Mr.. Hagerty said the White
House staff is considering both
sides of arguments in the bridge
tunnel argument.
1t is known that former Am
bassador Joseph c. Grew. a
strong tunnel prepayment. dis
cussed the matter last week with
Sherman Adams, aide to the
President. Mr.. Grew declined to
comment on the visit.
Appearance Is Factor
Opposition to the bridge has
been based entirely on harmful
effects it would have on the ap-
pearance of the Lincoln Memo
rial area. In the forefront Of
opposition has been the Fine
Arts Commission, which has
pressed strongest for a tunnel.
When he signed the bridge au-
thorization bill last year Presi-
dent Eisenhower voiced concern
over the esthetic considerations
to the extent of saying Interior
Secretary Mckay should have
the right to approve impact Of
bridge plans on park lands.
District highways officials had
turned thumbs down on pre-
vious tunnel proposals on
grounds that a tunnel would "a
be too costly and CD be imprac-
tical engineering-wise If traffic
needs are to be served.
Sentiment Gains
Strong impetus has been gen.
Grated in support of a tunnel
during the last few months,
however, with new design studies
cost estimates prepared by Ole
Singstad. New York tunnel
expert.
Mr.. Singstad contended a six
lane tunnel could be built for
1858 million, as against a $24.5
million authorized bridge cost.
District highway officials con-
tended, however, that an addi-
tional SIT million would be
needed to build approach roads
for the tunnel to give it the same
traffic value as the bridge.
An intensive study Of these
comparative costs and design
features Is being made now by
a special committee Of the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. The study may be
completed in time for the COM
missions April Z meeting.

think it only fair that we make our
position clear to the residents of
this School District.
I'VE believe that :he first objec-
tive of the members of the Board
of Education of the Milford Special
School District should be to provide
the best possible system of educa-
ton for our children, and to this
end we pledge our best efforts.
High School Standing
1--WE believe that not only are
basic educational fundamentals inn
portant for all students, but that a
well-rounded educational program
should be continued and expanded.
We are anxious that all of the pres
ent educational program which has
been found beneficial to our chill
dren, including music, art, sports,
vocational, and academic courses,
not only be continued but improved
upon whenever and wherever pos
sible. We look with pride upon the
high standing of our schools and
desire that it be maintained or
raised even higher.
IF elected, we intend to employ
competent, understanding teachers
who have the ability to cooperate
with parents as well as instruct the
children, thereby FOSTERING a closer
feeling of friendship between our
citizens and our schools. Better dis
cipline in the schools will thus be
served. Firm discipline, without
abuse, builds better citizens.
I'VE wish to assure the teachers
in our schools that, if elected. we
will serve the best interest of the
schools and the community.
1--WE endorse the Salk polio pre-
vention vaccine program for all
those to whom it is made available,
if they desire it.
1--WE are for continued segrega-
ton in the Milford Schools, for un-
der this system in Delaware both
the white and Negro children have
been, and are being, afforded an
opportunity for the equal privileges
of being educated. We shall insist
upon the observance of law and or
der, and propose to use every legal
avenue available to protect the
the rights of the residents of the
Milford District in the matter of Sc
gregation, and in every matter vital
in making and keeping this COM
munity a better place in which to
live.
I'VE declare ourselves against re-
organization of school districts,
Milford High School would thereby
be abolished, as such, leaving the
citizens of this district no voice in
the affairs of their schools, as they
have in the past. This would take
away, forever, from our Negro pop
ulation their own schools, in which
they have prided themselves. White
and Negro children would have to

tatives, who resigned about a week
ahead of his colleagues; w. Dean
Kimmel, and Mrs. Ida Phillips.
On April 81, Greene, Steiner, Ad-
ans, and Ray Scarborough of North
Milford, an employee of the Inter
national Latex Corp, Dover, filed
as candidates and listed a seven
point signed statement presenting
their views as follows:
I'VE have filed our names as can
didates to be elected to the Milford
Board of Education on May IA
1855, because we believe our boys
and girls ar entitled to more than
the minimum three RS as an edu-
cational program.
I'VE endorse program which in
cludes vocational subjects, CONNER
cial instruction, manual training
homemaking, agriculture, visual
aids, health programs, music, art
guidance counseling, and compe-
tive sports. The educational oppor-
tunities available to all boys and
girls should be expanded rather
than curtailed. We want our chill
dren to have educational opportuni-
ties equal to those in Seaford, Do
yer, New Castle, or any other Del
aware school.
Views OF Candidates
"As candidates for board mem
bership, we do subscribe to the
following:
81. We intend to maintain and,
if possible, surpass. the existing
high educational standards of the
Milford School District.
So We intend to employ only
good, understanding teachers deyo-
ted to the teaching of children.
So. We believe in just but firm
discipline.
"a. We look upon Indignation as
a national and state problem and
not as a local issue.
IS. We are Open-minded but not
in any way committed TO the re-
organization of school districts at
this time.
&c. We believe the election Of a
good, board of education guarantees
good teachers for our children.
az. We are willing to devote the
necessary time to- solve our school
problems and to take the oath
which is required of all school
board members.
At about the same time, four
other residents filed with Clerk of
the Peace Roach. They are: Max
Corder, operator of feed business;
Mr.. Robbins, present member OF
the board; Crerar Bennett, a farm
er and plumber, and Ernest c.
Macklin, an insurance man, and
former clerk of the peace in Kent
County. Corder and Bennett repre-
sent the Sussex side, and Robbins
and Macklin, the Kent side of Mil
ford.
Corder, Bennett, Robbins, and
Macklin released a statement con-
corning their stand on school mat
ters as follows:

trict at considerable additional ex-
pense. Do not be misled-this move
ment is not for the good of the citi-
zens of the Milford School District
it is against us.
This is our program. We submit
it to the voters of the Milford Spec
ial School District. asking for your
support. If we are elected we will
follow this program to the best
of our ability"
BOwles Backs Ticket
In the interim, Bryant Bowles of
Houston, president of the National
Association for the Advancement OF
White People, issued a statement
endorsing Corder, Bennett, Robbins
and Macklin.
Shortly following the Bowles en-
dorsement of their opponents, Stei-
ner, Greene, Adams, and Scarbor-
ough issued the following state
ment:
Remember whei. you vote on
Saturday, May IA, our pledge is:
ION segregation-We will keep
our schools segregated until the
courts might direct indignation for
all schools in Sussex County. We
will not defy the United States
Government.
ION recognizing school districts
If the Delaware Legislature
should ever pass a redistricting bill
we will demand that the new high
school for this district be located
in Milford.
1--WE are not dominated by Bowles
nor by his Citizens Communicative
are proud not to be endorsed by
Bowles. We believe that the Milford
Schools must be considered always
as community endeavor to be
operated by our citizens.
I'VE continue to stand by our
pledge for the welfare of our
schools"
The new board will employ a sup
erintendent 10 replace DR.. Ramon
c. Cobbs, who has resigned, and
some faculty members who are not
planning to teach at Milford next

''In the days when riding the

Consequently, the men who rode
the cattle cars became known as
cowpunchers. A cowboy, then and
