A conversation on the way
downtown during the strike:

A conversation on the way
downtown during the strike:
When the taxi drew up in
front Of Templeton Jones
door, our old friends eyes posi-
lively bulged.
What seemed to be a beau
tiful blond was in the front
seat beside the driver.
But what made Jones old
eyes fairly pop was that the
lady didn't seem to have any
clothes on.
The moment he stepped in,
of course, he saw that she did.
The day was hot, very hot.
and the lady was dressed ac-
cordingly, in the best Ameri-
can style.
Her voice was heavily but
prettily accented.
Jones tried TO place her.
That voice-he knew a girl
from New Orleans, with French
accent
He thought maybe German,
but he wasn't sure.
The bright blond hair, per-
fectly natural, Temp Jones
would swear to that (men
often make mistakes, here)
might place her as Scandina-
Wan. but the accent was not
quite right.
After a bit Of general con-
versation, the taxi man man
aged to give an opening.
Where are you from?"
Templeton Jones asked.
Prague" said the lady.
"Er, what?"
Prague" said the lady.
"Oh, yes," said Jones.
y \ y \
1t seemed that she had
played in theater in Italy, had
an 11-year-old daughter, and
wanted to get a job with the
Voice Of America. :
Templeton Jones was sure
she would, too, but he didn't
so express himself.
Her face was charming, the
features very sharp, in the
continental way. the eyes blue.
Somehow, the talk got
around to cigarettes. The
young woman had offered
Jones one.
IT never smoke" said Jones
trying to make his voice pleas
ant.

That Man Aqoin

According to the Biograph-
ical Directory of the United
States Congress. Davy Crock
EFT. after two terms in Con-
gress as a Democrat, was de-
feated and then two years
later was elected as a Whig
and served a single term. It
was after that that he went
to Texas.
This fact Is never mentioned
in any of the newspaper biog-
raphies Of Crockett nor, Of
course, in the Disney version.

'Wiped Out for JoIopy4

AT the very JlII1e Tile A1Ot"
ernment was preparing con-
demnation proceedings against
property near the Capitol, the
District was issuing permits
for extensive restoration work
in one OF the condemned
blocks. The blow fell swiftly
and heavily on those residents
who were working SO eagerly
on their houses and homes;
and no "fair appraisal" pay
ment can really compensate
for the wasted months.
Obviously, an individuals
wishes cannot, and should not.
have any weight when the well
fare Of Congress Is at stake.
My purpose in writing this
letter is to ask for a further
study of the whole situation.
1t is my belief that the con-
gressional planners. needing
(for at least two valid reasons)
to acquire the properties which
actually face the Capitol
grounds, said to themselves.
Lets be farsighted about this
matter. Eventually we must
expand again. and by that
time costs may be higher-so
we must take some extra
blocks now."
Actually, they were not far
sighted enough. During the
first SO years Of the automobile
we could afford to clutter the
face of the earth with our
cars; but the old ways can't
hold much longer. Something's
got to give, and it shouldn't be
the whole surface of the city,
because for every square taken
from the tax rolls, the burden
on other taxpayers is greater.
Senators park their cars un-
derground. Why can't Rep
resentatives do the same?
Congress already has pos
session of one full square, now
cleared and used for car park
ing It would hold an Office
building of which, say. the
first three levels could be park
ing space. On the very large
square directly to the west, a
many-level parking building
could be erected, a few Sec
tions or levels at a time. as
needed. These two squares
face the Capitol across Inde-
pendence avenue, and they
could yield the space neces-
sary for widening of that ave-
nue. as an approach to the new
East Capitol street bridge.
Thus with acquisition of only
one extra square three things
can be done: Widen Independ-
ence avenue and get more Of
flee space and more car space.
Perhaps the triangle at Della
ware-Canal-C street might be
taken. too, since the buildings
on it are already partially de-
molished. The next block con-
tains two warehouses and three
small residences-it could be
better and might be worse.
Presumably it pays taxes.
The last of the condemned
squares, directly south Of the
House Annex, is potentially
one Of the most attractive in
town. The National Geo.
graphic Society recently took
colored photographs Of some Of
its gardens, and several places
are regularly on the various
house tours. Restoration was
going on apace. but now the
people who have tried to pro-
vide a suitable setting for the
Nations front yard" will have
to depart, leaving the Capitol
amid its acres Of parked cars,
surrounded in turn by slums
growing SUMMER.
Scores of historic houses
(really historic, not Just
"early") used to exist In what
b now the actual Capitol park.

The Displaced Russians

The Displaced Russians
The story about the Russians
moving out of 3519 Thir-
teenth street was joyously
beamed iron-curtain-wards by
the Voice of America.
What does it prove? That
the Russians are as bad as
we are-so there?
Moving out Of apartments as
Negroes move In is an old
Washington custom. In this
city, we evacuate entire neigh
borhoods when q few Negro
families move in. The sign
"Colored for Rent in the Ma
TONS Capital is eloquent and
needs no explanation to the
people of Asia. AS propaganda.
it speaks louder than your
headlines on the story.
Aren't we trying to prove
we're better than the Rus
slams? Then let's be up and
doing! Let's not be satisfied
merely to prove them guilty
of racial intolerance, too.
C. s. Price.
4 4 X 4
So the Russians started
moving out as the colored be-
gan moving in. Here is Just one
more proof that the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. that
has been branding the white
people Of America as undemo-
cratic because of their race
segregation policy has been
purveying propaganda.
1t is firmly believed that the
Supreme Court, which has
fallen for all this propaganda,
hook, line and sinker, would do
as these Russians have done II
colored people started moving
into their swank, restricted
abode.
Nish Showers.
Shades of E. B. Henderson,
what does he think of this?
For years he has written let
ters to all Washington news
papers advocating integration
of the races to please the Rus
slams and now an apartment
house owner, renting more or
less exclusively to Russian En-
bassy employees, decides to in
tegrate his apartments and
the entire Russian colony
moves out.
Does Mr.. Henderson still
think this shows that the Com
mics think any more of in
tegration than our own South
ern Anglo Saxon people think
of it?

It must be shocking to
many Star readers to find
that the leading local news
paper has changed its 'front.'
page policy from printing in
telligent, newsworthy material
to disgustingly trite feature
articles.
Your page-one story and
picture June 80, entitled "Col-
ored-For Rent" was mean
ingless. OF what possible sig
nificance to the very real
racial problems that exist in
some sections of the United
States is the fact that a few
Russian tenants decided to
move when a sign was posted,
"Colored For Rent? This
sign is certainly a reminder
that in our Nations Capital
racial integration is not a
reality.
The Star, in serving the
public, could utilize its front
pages to better advantages by
informing and educating the
public of the many fields in
which racial integration has
proven successful. It might
also perform a public function
by describing some of the
shameful, unconstitutional de-
vices that have been proposed
and accepted in certain States
to circumscribe the decree Of
the Supreme Court in the
segregation cases.
