venting the further growth of
slums, he recommended that pro-
gram of matching grants to states
and metropolitan areas be estab-
lished to enable small communities
and metropolitan planning agencies
to do the planning job necessary 10
arrest the spread of slum condi-
tions.
Purpose of the program is TO
stimulate constructive guidance and
control of urban development In the
fringe areas around major cities
and in the smaller communities
where effective planning otherwise
is not likely to be taken.
"If we want to give the very
best service to our present and fu-
ture citizens, ii is necessary that
growth of a given area be orderly
and that we do not find a hodge
podge of residential housing, retan
business places and industrial
plants jumbled in such a fashion
that in a few years the whole area
will deteriorate," Development De-
partment officials declared.
"The federal government has
shown the way for orderly expan-
sion and growth. but of necessity,
the pressure to secure these bene-
fits must come from the citizens on
the local level. whose presenth
homes may be jeopardized X
growth is allowed TO continue In a
disorderly manner"
1t is pointed out that zoning regu-
lations for the two lower counties
would have to be enacted, giving
local authority for action before
assistance could be secured in this
field on the federal level.

GOVERNMENT RY MINORITY

AS everyone should know by now, ex-
.cessively big government is excessively ex-
pensive government. Equally bad, it degen-
crates into government by minority.
Economic Intelligence points out that
there are now $50 Congressional committees
and subcommittee and adds: 'sIt is becom-
ing progressively more and more impossible
for newspaperman or anyone else to keep
track of what is going or in Washington. AL
most no one can see the process as a whole
This makes for government by minority
vocal, articulate, self-seeking minorities
This is the stuff of which dictatorship is
made"
Cutting government down to proper size
would save billions of dollars. 1t also can
save the institution of representative gov
ernment itself.

Norman Rockwell, the IA
nous American folk artist,
thought no one was coming
last night to see the opening
Of the first exhibition of his
paintings at the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art.
But when he arrived at the
gallery, following a dinner
party at the Georgetown home
of Mrs. McCook Knox. this
skepticism was replaced by un-
abashed delight at the sight of
hundreds of people waiting
patiently in line to see his
show.
This remarkably modest
man, whose paintings have
graced the covers of the Satur-
day Evening Post for several
decades. turned out to be as
much of a treat as his exhibi-
ton.
Not an Artist, He Says
I'm really not an artist, but
an illustrator" he said to a
group at Mrs. Knox's party.
And one felt he was observ-
ing all the fuss about him
with the same keen perception,
yet gentle humor, so character
iStic of his drawings.
II like people and enjoy
portraying their weaknesses
and foibleS-not with violence,
but rather with the same feel

I like but see and understand
his drawbacks"

What can the modern home
maker do to keep her family
happy and together in a fast
changing world? How does she
cope with the emotional un-
predictability of a teen-age
son or daughter?
These are some of the ques-
tions more than $50 Maryland
homemakers wanted and got
answers to yesterday during an
all-day program geared to this
years theme of their 29th
Rural Women's Short Course.
Living in a Changing World. !"
The women will leave CAM
pus life at the University of
Maryland this afternoon for
another year, but they'll be
returning home they think
with a better idea of where
they fit into family and COM
munity life patterns, how bet
ter to understand the COM
plexities of modern adolescent
problems and what they can
do to adjust their own habits
and ways of thinking.
In a morning assembly ses-
sion, DR.. Evelyn Mills Duvall
of Chicago, family life author
and lecturer, told them:
Face Challenge
We are facing as never be-
fore the tremendous and mag
nificent challenge to build the
kind of people who can with
stand the modern world with
out cracking up-people who
are strong enough to make
their own choices, choose their
own way of life and use the
freedoms which come so early"
Family living has moved
away from the staid pattern
of grandfather's day, DR.. Du-
vail pointed out. To-day we
are challenged with instabil-
ity. Families break up because
of emotional cold wars. We
must find the roots of stability
and emotional know how to
produce a new kind of cohesion
in the family unit"
Later, during an afternoon
assembly, DR.. Duvall counseled
a similar approach to the
problem of living with teen
ayers. The big lesson for
parents and grandparents to
learn, she said, is not "to do
for the teen-ager but to live
with him, grow with him."
Adjustment
Today's parents are under
standably concerned at the
frightening" a d justin ents
teen-agers must make at. a
much earlier age than they
did, DR.. Duvall declared. I'VE
fear that our teen-agers are
being catapulted into a great
many of life's most difficult
hazards, have to make deci-
sions before they're quite ready
for the size of the hazard and
the magnitude of the decision"
But the apron strings must
be cut, she said. Though she

Hon1emakers Advised

conceded it might be as hard
as giving "a second birth" to
the child. she declared it must
be done if the teen-ager is to
bee com e emancipated from
childhood dependence.
She told the homemakers
they must face the fact that
their children are growing
away from them just at a time
when they crave more emo
tional appreciation in their
own lives than they're getting.
She said this is a common
cause of conflict between teen
ayers and parents. which can
only be eased through mutual
understanding and co-opera-
ton.
Wise Nom
The wise mother anticipates
this period OF emotional con-
f1ict, she SAID, by finding sat-
isfying community interests
outside her home horizon.
The homemakers also were
told the Importance of relig-
ious training in the home to
equip the teen-ager with a set
of values to live by could not
be overStressed.
1.-THE youngster with a phi
losophy of life knows what
he is and where he's going"
she said. "He is not the type
who gets into trouble or looks
for it,"
On the other hand, she
added. it is the youngster who
has no values as a yardstick
who gets involved in such
frightening episodes as van
dalism and meaningless terror
istic acts because he is on "a
wild search for self"
At two other assembly ses-
sions yesterday afternoon the
homemakers considered the
aspects of health and safety
in a changing world as well as
citizenship and civil defense.
Citizenship
Mrs. Fred L. Bull Of College
Park, civil defense chairman
for the National Home DEM
onstration Council and presi-
dent of the Maryland Parent
Teacher Association, presided
at the latter session. She said
citizenship is important to-
day because there are SO many
organized attempts on our way
of life."
She also declared that the
wide sale and distribution Of
comic books presented a big
problem as far as educating
our youth for citizenship"
More money is spent in the
United States today for comic
books than all the text books
purchased last year for the
country's elementary and sec
ondary Schools" she asserted.

Her mother. Mrs. Myrtle Boil
yard. was more talkative. She
said she was holding the baby
when it was grabbed by Hilliard
during a picnic in a Baltimore
beer garden on Tuesday. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Bolyard, her
daughter and Hilliard were not
married. She said Ruby went to
live with the billiards in Janu-
ary, 1854. Mrs. Bolvard said
her daughter slept in car in the
Hilliard yard for three months
after moving there.
"She put Hilliard's name on
the birth certificate so she could
lget in the hospital" Mrs. Boil
yard told reporters. The baby
was born at Alexandria Hospital
last September. I'VE have a
lawyer and we're getting the
birth certificate changed. Hill

kin Reinforced Hilliard
The Hilliard clan was well
represented in the courthouse
hall. There were at least seven
relatives of the accused man,
including his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fleenor Hilliard, and sew
eral brothers and sisters.
Mrs. Hilliard said her son
brought Ruby home as his bride
about two years ago. She showed
reporters a drivers license and
Automobile registration card
bearing the name Ruby Hilliard.
Mrs Hilliard said her son paid
all the hospital bills when the
baby was born, and the name
Frank Hilliard. jr.. appeared on
the cnlld'S birth certificate.
According to Mrs. Hilliard. her
son and Ruby had a disagree
ment over medical care for a
deformed foot the baby has. Mrs.
Hilliard said her son had made
arrangements through the health
department for the baby to be
taken to a clinic. Ruby didn't
want to take the baby to the
clinic, Mrs. Hilliard said. and
left Fairfax County with the child
three weeks ago.
Mrs. Hilliard said her son had
retained an attorney in Balti-
more to seek return of the child
and went there Tuesday to see
the lawyer. Hilliard admitted
taking the baby. He turned it
over to Fairfax County police
after they arrested him near his
