Mclaughlin Bringing
Politics With Him

District residents elect, dele
gates to national political con-
ventions, Mr.. McLaughlin's
voice would have far more
timbre than even that Of the
vociferously Democratic Jiggs
Donohue.
That Mr.. Mclaughlin will
not hesitate to use 1t was made
abundantly clear in the jibe
with which he opened his ac-
ceptanee speech. Mrs. Cana
lier," he assured the wife Of
his predecessor, you can have
Renah back now"
Mr.. Camalier, for his part.
rejected all suggestions that he
step down at any moment be-
fore the end Of his term. Un-
der the law, Commissioners
terms last for three years,
and until their successors are
appointed and qualified" Mr..
Camalier held to both the
title and the office until Mr..
Mclaughlin actually took the
oath.
Going out with Mr.. Cana
lier, in a retirement after IS
years with the District gov
ernment, is one Of his two spe-
cial assistants, G. Adolph
Turner, perhaps the city's
most enthusiastic fire buff. He
has chased fires, and has his
auto equipped with siren. red
light and fire department ra-
dio, since he was assistant to
former Commissioner John
Russell Young. at that time re-
sponsible for the Districts po-
lice and fire departments.
Further changing of the
guard brings back to the fifth
floor Of the District Building
as Mr.. McLaughlin's secretary,
Mrs. Elizabeth williams, the
handsome young lady who
filled the same role for Mr..
Young and who left the Dis
trict government for q while

when he was replaced by Mr..
Camalier.
The only major survivor Of
Mr.. Camalier's staff held over
by Mr.. Mclaughlin Is Rich
ard s. Townsend as special
assistant, A personable young
veteran Of the Health Depart
ment, he was shanghaied re-
Gently from the city's Glenn
Dale Hospital to help Mr..
Camalier supervise health and
welfare activities.
Aside from Mr.. McLaughlin's
shift to the Board Of Commis-
sioners. the biggest change, Of
course. was appointment Of
George E. c. Hayes. eminent
Negro attorney, to replace Mr..
Mclaughlin on the Public
Utilities Commission. In an
action expected since the ap-
pointment was first announced,
the commission Immediately
elected him chairman.

DISTRICT:
BY HECTOR Mclean

The changing of the guard
at the District Building last
week finally gave the Eisen-
hover administration COM
plete control Of the Board Of
Commissioners.
Robert E. Mclaughlin,
newly sworn In as q member
Of the board, made this clear
In his speech Of acceptance
when he noted that the robe
and mantle of the Hatch Act
have been so graciously lifted
from my shoulders"
And, he pointed out, his in
stallation might have come
sooner "but for the tenacity
of Renah Camalier," his Tru-
man appointed predecessor
who doggedly resisted White
House efforts to get him to
quit two years ago.
Booked Eisenhower
Both Mr.. Mclaughlin and
Board President Samuel Spen-
Ger were supporters Of Mr.. Ell
senhower in his 1852 fight for
nomination and election, but
the newest Commissioner seems
to have been more actively
identified as a politician.
The presence of both Of
them on the Board Of Com
missioners thus gives it the
greatest political coloring 1t
has had since it was domi-
mated by F. Joseph (Jiggs)

questing information flowed
in. A detailed memorandum
was supplied WPB. From
headquarters here, the word
went out to the country on
how to utilize the unused man
power of school children in
the war effort.
The greatest year in Wash
ington was 1914 when more
than $55,000 was earned by
the schools. BY that time the
PTA groups were flush" and
ready to take on some outside
activities. When the drive for
a building fund for Childrens
Hospital was launched, the
Paper Troopers agreed to de-
vote their collections for q
week to pay for a 4-room
ward in the Hospital at q
cost of $500.
The Foster Parents Plan for
War Orphans caught their
fancy, too. Individual schools
adopted scores of the war VIC
Tins, acquiring a new inter-
national perspective as they
carried on correspondence with
the orphans they helped.
During the period when the
drive was running full speed,
there was a great need for
moving-picture projectors in
the schools, but District school
funds we're not available.
The Star. making a whole
sale purchase Of IS of the
projectors, turned them over
to the schools at q saving of
$125 each. They were paid
for out of paper salvage rev.
enues. In some cases, the pay
ment was in cash, In others
in installments.
From the revenue Of the
program, a vast total of bene-
fits to the schools was made
possible. Books for the school
libraries, cafeteria equipment.
free milk and stockings for
underprivileged children, and
many other things came within
reach.
It was an impressive demon
stration of team work.. school
spirit and general citizenship
on the part Of the school chill
dren of this area.
Some Of those who particle
pated at the outset no doubt
are married and have children
Of their own by this time.
However. the program now
has run its course. With the
close Of this school year. the
books also are to be closed.

BY HOWARD P. BAILEY

On December /, 1941, casual
observers in Southeast and
Southwest Washington noted
school children walking to-
ward their schools carrying
large bundles of old news
papers.
They didn't realize it at the
time but this was the start OF
what became the greatest child
participation in the National
defense in the history Of the
United States.
Out Of 1t grew, under the
sponsorship of the War Pro-
duction Board and the Waste
Paper Dealers association, the
famous Paper Trooper Brigade
which solved the problem OF
obtaining old newspapers.
magazines and cartons which
later were turned into a tre-
mendous variety Of products
vital to our participation in
the war.
Here in Washington, various
pTA and other school groups
kept the paper drive going be-
yond the war years until now,
as 1t is brought to an end, the
amazing total of 252.36o.67
has been collected for use in
various school activities.
Shortly before the program
was set up, the late Fleming
Newbold, who was then Bus
iness Manager of The Evening
Star. recalled a similar pro-
gram which he had established
in World War I. 1t provided
a great deal of badly needed
playground equipment. Amer
ican participation in World
War II seeming inevitable, he
made preparations to resume
the drive.
With the approval Of the
Board of Education and the
Parent-Teacher and Home and
School Associations, the city
was divided into five districts.
Each district was to be visited
one day a week by the trucks
of the paper company parti-
cipating.
During 1912. the schools
earned $l9,528.37.
Officials of the Salvage Sec
tion of WPB watched with in
terest the development OF the
system. Soon. from many parts
of the country, representatives
of State salvage organizations
came to washington to see
how The Star plan was being
operated. Scores of letters re.

Maryland's capital city.
More Split Construction
In keeping with this govern
mental schizophrenia, Mary
land is about to build two pew
office buildings 81 million
one in Annapolis and a $40
million structure in Baiti-
more. The proportion of
State employees and agencies
in the two cities is not ex-
pected to be changed sub
stantially.
Legislative authorization for
the Baltimore Office building
was won over the opposition
of several county legislators,
particularly those from Anne
Arundel County, who believe
Annapolis ought to be more
than just the capital in name
only.
One Of the leaders In this
fight, John M. Whitmore, q
Democratic member Of the
House of Delegates from An
napolis, blames all the Gov
ernors since Ritchie for al
lowing more and more State
offices to be located In Balti-
more. But he says Mr.. Nc
Keldin, former Mayor Of Bal
timore. has been the worst of
the bunch and has shown an
unbelievable bias toward Balti-
more political and economic
interests"
Delegate Whitmore has
dashed off letters to officials
in other States with capitals
located In other than their
largest cities. He said he has
received replies so far from
California, Missouri, Illinois,
Delaware and Florida and all
Of them disagree with the
Maryland pattern.
TN other States" Mr.. Whit
more said, "the agencies have
branches In the big cities
where necessary, but the head
quarters Of all departments are
located in the capital CITY,"
Mr.. Whitmore and others in
his camp concede that there
is justification for putting some
State agencies as close as pos
sible to the States largest CEN
ter of population, but they see
no reason for agencies such
as the roads commission, the
Department Of Education and
the Welfare Department to
be located in Baltimore.
Roods, Commission
Baltimore City has its own
road system and the roads for
which the roads commission is
responsible are all In the coun-
ties. The Baltimore school
system also is independent of
the State Department of Edu-
cation. The State welfare
department is completely ad-
ministrative. directing welfare
programs of the city and
county departments under 1t.
No one dares suggest out
loud, of course. that the capital
actually be moved to Balti-
more, but there is precedent in
Maryland history. When the
Crown sent the Maryland col
ony q new Governor named
Francis Nicholson in 1893, he
decided to move the capital
from st. Mary's City, where the
first colonists had landed in
1884, to Anne Arundel Towne
