Anniversary
Gifts For Cenfer

In Difference to the wishes
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Gilberg
who recently celebrated their
50th w e d d in G anniversary,
friends who wished to mark
the occasion were asked to
make it to the Harry and
Clara Golden Age Lounge in
stead of making personal
presents. Mum erous gifts
have been received, according
to Ben Solot, chairman of the
Building Fund campaign. In
publicly expressing the
thanks of the Center, Mr..
Solot added that the request
was unusual and unprecedent-
ed for Tucson. The Council
board and the executive COM
mittee were especially CRATE
full. Gifts are still being ac-
cepted in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilberg.

Premature Move

II some of the legislators from the
nearby areas would campaign as energeti-
cally for an auxiliary Washington airport as
they do against specific sites for the new
terminal, greater progress might be made
toward solving this pressing problem. Vlr-
ginia and Maryland legislators, however,
seem to be more concerned with blocking
the Burke airport project than with pro-
viding the Washington Metropolitan Area
with an adequate alternate airport in the
interest of public safety.
MarylandS Senator Butler is opposed
to Burke because he wants the Government
to designate Baltimore's Friendship Airport
as "coterminal" for Washington. The air
lines are UNDERSTANDABLE opposed to this
so-caled solution, for it would mean loss of
business Now comes Virginias Represent
alive Broyhill with a bill to require the
Government to give up the 1000 acres OF
land near Burke in Fairfax County, Vir-
ginia, bought several years ago as part of
an airport site. Mr.. Broyhill would have
the Civil Aeronautics Administration sell
the land back to the original owners or other
purchasers. He referred to the recent White
House statement favoring use of Friendship
as temporary alternate airport for Wash
ington
But the statement, prepared by a cabi-
net advisory committee, did not rule out
a new airport closer to the Nations Capital
than Friendship. Nor did it specifically rule
out Burke as possible site. Although dis
tinguished by muddled reasoning in several
respects, the statement did recognize" that
the expedientS recommended, including
improvements at Gravelly Point and sup
Elemental" use of Friendship, may not pro-
vide the best long range solution of Wash
ington's airport needs" That was an I'M
reinstatement if there ever was one.
Mr.. Broyhills move to dispose of Burke
holdings is premature. The Government
would be foolish to sell its land at Burke
until either the President or Congress has
chosen a suitable airport site somewhere
else within reasonable driving distance from
downtown Washington. And before Mr..
Broyhill turns his back on Burke (under
pressure from some property owners in the
area) it would be wise for him to make sure
that he is not turning his back on his other
constituents, whose convenience and safety
in air travel-and perhaps economic welfare
would be we'll served at Burke.

7 his and That .
By Charles f. TroceWeN

Today old men no longer browse in
the corner, but gallivant around the
world. seeing places they have always
read about.
More fortunate, Templeton Jones be-
lieves, is he who stays at home, and
finds in his own mind and heart the
adventures which make life worth
while.
This reminds us of letter received
some time ago:
From your column. l think l am
safe to assume that Templeton Jones
is older than Jack Benny.
Now tell me. has Mr. Jones gone
through the years alone?
IF he has a wonderful wife, he
certainly never gives her credit for
years of devotion and work that helped
him understand the finer things of
life.
"Templeton Jones often reflects on
his childhood but l don't recall that
he ever mentions the tender love and
teaching of his mother and father.
Does Temp Jones only love birds
and animals, or are there people in
his life?"
Thirty years ago, when the char
acter of Templeton Jones first saw the
light of print, the collective title for
these sketches appeared in my note
book as:
The Mental Adventures of Temple
ton Jones'"

Difficult Luncheon Guest

Every circus, including our Congress,
must have its clowns. No one who has
ever been under big top could fail
to appreciate the pathos and comedy
of these artistic performers. The same
cannot be said of Congress. We have
recently been treated to an unappe-
tizing account of White House lunch
con as recounted by junior Repre-
sentative from New Jersey. 1t memory
serves me, the same Congressman not
too long ago made the headlines
through his failure to find a pair of
formal trousers sufficiently large to
contain his ego.
If our legislative "Mr. 'Malaprop" is
to continue these social didoeS, it is
suggested he be advised to consult
Emily Posts authoritative work for &C
ceptable procedures. Strangely enough.
there are still few of us simple Amer
leans who consider an invitation to the
White House to be an honor and re-
sent the above mentioned display of
boorishneSS.
Apparently, the gentleman" from
New Jersey is neither comedian nor
legislator. 1t makes a working girl
wonder if the recent raise in Congress
sional salaries was justified.

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Did Templeton Jones, in his walks,
ever find out why the gulls make an
annual appearance on the Monument
grounds in the Mall?
Have enjoyed your articles for many
years-good luck! long life-and Sem
per Fl to the native Washingtonians
Sincerely yours, J. c. r."
The gulls are after millipedes.
They frequent the Mall and the
grounds of the War College for this
purpose.
Spring brings out the multi-crawlers,
including the centipedes.
They are all bits in the chain of life,
ranging from the forms below visibility.
to the birds, fishes, animals. man and
angels
This tremendous chain has func-
toned for SO long that only inspired
guesses, called scientific, can be made
as to how long it has gone on.
The gulls and the millipedes are
part of 1T.
Millipedes are more worm-like in ap-
pearance than the centipedes, but in
some of the Southern states, they get
into houses. and cause damage.
In our misguided climate, it is the
centipede that gets indoors, where 1t
worries the housewife, and frightens
old men in the chimney corner.
That viii have to be changed q bit.

PLIGHT of the Retired

The current actions and discussions
in Congress on pay raises Tor various
groups of Federal servants to enable
them to meet the increases in the cost
of living eloquently call attention to
the plight of the forgotten men and
women of the Federal Civil Service
the retired employe and the survivors
of deceased retirees and deceased en-
ployes. A brief reference to what Con-
gress is doing for the active groups
may stimulate thinking about those
living on pensions.
The pay of Senators and Represent
atives has just been increased by SO
per cent-from $4,000 to S22.500 a
year-and the new rate is more in
keeping with their expenses and re-
sponsibilities in relation to the cost OF
living.
The changes in the Social Security
Act at the last session raised me mini
mum benefit from $25 to $50 month,
about 20 per cent and changed the
maximum from $85 to $98 for those al
ready retired and to $108 for those re-
firing thereafter. increases of IS and
81 per cent, respectively.
Congress is presently considering a
pay raise and classification for postal
employees The average raise in the
