DISTRICT:
By HECTOR Mclean

The great hunt was on last
week to find someone to run
buses in and around Wash
ington after next August IA.
Front runner was still Louis
Burns n, the Washington
builder who started dickering
to buy out Louis E. Wolfson
and Capital Transit even be-
fore signing of the CTC death
sentence bill by President
Eisenhower. On vacation, how
ever, he has been unheard of
recently.
Late entries are coming in,
however, for the race which
will end at the Public Utilities
Commission Office in the Dis
trict Building at 10 am. Oc-
tober 10-only SO days from
now.
While there have been sew
eral nibbleS from out-of- town
companies, there has been no
rush by local interests. One
suggestion came Thursday
from Arlington's Representa-
tive joel Broyhill, Republican
member of the House District
Committee.
He urged that the A. B. & ".
Transit Co. of Virginia be en-
couraged to take over after
Capital Transit leaves.
Cooperative?
Another idea-to set up a
cooperative to run the transit
system-was discussed at a
meeting that same night.
With all hands saying how
much they abhored the idea
of Government ownership,
this seemed the only alterna-.
tive to profit-motivated pri-
vate enterprise.
Although the District Com
missioners and members OF
the Public Utilities Commits
sioners kept insisting that a
bus company can be run here
profitably. there was consid-
cradle question as to whether
they can find anyone who will
stake real money on the gam
BILE.
And whether enough finan-
cling would be available to
make a reality of the coop
idea remains to be seen. Al
lowing for a couple OF big
ifs, the Farm Bureau Insur-
ance Companies of Columbus,
Ohio, NOW Nationwide Insur-
ance) indicated it might put
up some money, as it has done
in financing some other CO.
op ventures.
Also, President Walter j.
Bierwagen of the AFL union
of Capital Transit workers
said his organization might
use some of its 81 million pen
sion fund to get such a coop
started.
The specific idea came from
Gregory Hankin, New Deal
member of the utilities COM
mission from 1941 to 1913. and
was expected to get the back

Despite its ties to the United
Kingdom. Australia today
looks to the United States as
the country to emulate. Not
only is this reflected in for
eign policy. where Australia
usually finds itself closer to
the American view than the
British. but in day-to-day
living.
Australians like to think
Of themselves as having q
future like that which awaited
the United States 100 years
ago. With the influx Of post
war immigration, Australia
now has q population of only
8 million. yet its area is al
most as great as the United
States.
Most Of Australia Is un-
settled and undeveloped, as
America once was. The
Aussies see their country. with
its great potential wealth
and relatively skilled populace,
poised on the brink Of an era
America faced in the late 18th
century.
All Australians think it i'm
portant to study Americans
and all hope to learn from
them. Australian newspapers
and magazines regularly fea-
ture articles about the Ameri-
can way of doing things
recipes. do-it-yourself projects,
autos. etc. American prod
ucts-from cars to tooth
paste-are preferred generally
over Australian or English
made. Australian business
men scramble for connections
with American Arms.
Special Treatment
Visitors from the United
States rate special treatment
over other foreigners. Patrons
in Australian department
stores, for instance, stand
aside enthusiastically to let
the American be waited on
first. Somehow the clerks
can usually tell which are
Americans and which are
other foreign nationalities.
Some of this good win
stems. Of course, from World
War II days, when the United
States blocked the Japanese
just short of an invasion at
tempted against Australia.
At the capital city in Cam
berra is an American War
Memorial, a tall. slim column
topped by the American eagle.
At its base is inscribed: They
Passed This Way"
Canberra itself is a symbol
Of Australia's efforts to follow
in the United States foot
steps. The capital city is vote
less. like the District of Column
bia. Its principal industry is
government. The American
Embassy there is set impos-
ingly atop a hill. its architec-
ture resembling that of colo
NAL Williamsburg.
Australians are visiting the
United States in increasing
numbers, but not nearly at
the rate that most of the
people would like. Regular
steamship service between the
West Coast and Australia has
been re-established since the
war. But Australians are al
lowed to take only 5000 in
United States currency with
them. Businessmen coming
here get slightly better treat
ment.
The Differences
Perhaps this limit on Austria

lea accounts for the Silicon

cultures of the two countries,
apparent to any United States
visitor.

much more clearly drawn in

In 1908 Mrs. Parker reigned
as queen of the San Jacinto
spring carnival, a weeklong
festival similar to New
Orleans Mardi GraS.
Widow of a lieutenant colo
mel, Mrs. Parker has been an
active worker in Washington
for many years. She was
prime organizer of an animal
parade during Be Kind to
Animals Week in the early
'20s. Arrangements were
made to have Laddy Boy,
President Harding's dog, ride
on a float as the big attrac-
tion.
However. Stubby. a canine
hobo who was the mascot Of
the AEF during World War /
and had been decorated 16
times, stole the show. Later,
Stubby was decorated by Gen.
John ]. Pershing.
During World War II, In
addition TO running the FRI
day night dances and later
mammoth Saturday night
affairs with more than 500
officers present, Mrs. Parker
served on q draft board,
worked, for rationing boards
and was an AFRAID warden.
She hears from officers In
nearly all parts OF the world
men grateful for her hospital
ity and pretty girls. The
Friday night dances continue
in popularity at the Ofiicers'
Club, now at 1914 Twenty
First street NV, with be-
tween 80 and 100 men on
hand each week. They still
believe pretty girls are
enough. --Byias Bell

Parker laughed. "One Of the
officers was bothering me,
and / told him: All you want
is for me to introduce you to
a pretty girl
81 stopped the. first girl I
saw-she was a WAC officer
made the introduction and
forgot about them. Four days
later, they called me and
said: Mrs. Parker, we're
married
"But this story doesn't
have a happy ending, Ten
days later, she was shipped
to Europe, and he was sent to
the Pacific. /, never heard
from them again and don't
know If the marriage worked
out."
The officers attending the
dances were never allowed to
bring a date, and this led to
some amusing stories.
Il got q call one day from
a woman. Mrs. Parker said.
..She asked: why can't /
come to your dances2 My
husband goes every Friday
night"
Mrs. Parker, daughter of
an Army ofi1cer. was a South
ern belle in her earlier years
In San Antonio, Tex. She
was one Of three girls chosen
to be hostesses to Edith Root,
daughter OF Elihu Root, Sec
retary Of State under Theo-
dore Roosevelt, when Mr..
Root stopped there on his
way to visit the President Of

NEW YORK. (GlobaD-Many
people have wondered how the
"unwrltten law" banning Negroes
from organized baseball ever
came into being. We can remcm-
Der very well-from all reports.
II was back about 1883 when
a young man named Frank Grant
was playing with the Toledo,
Ohio, team in the minor leagues.
The Chicago Cubs went to To-
ledo to play and the Cubs
manager Pop Arson, kicked up
quite fuss about not wanting
his boys to play against a Negro.
John McGraw. then the man
ager Of the Toledo team. how
ever, stood his ground and said
that Grant would play or there
would be no game.
Pop Arson accepted the de-
clsion at the time, but at the
National Association meeting the
next winter, he made an issue
OF II. and the "unwritten law"
banning Negroes from organized
baseball came about. Prior 10
that time, Negroes had played
IN the major leagues.
This same Pop Arson attempt
ed to spoil other players chances.
too, and with considerable sue
cess. When John McGraw. then
manager OF the New York Giants
was in Little Rock. Ark. one
time, he saw a young Negro
pitcher by the name of George
Stovey perform.
He was so impressed with
Stovey's work that he attempted
