Dupont Circle Citizens Unit
Had Birth in Fiscal Dilemma

Rising taxes and low Federal
payments for the upkeep Of the
District-perennially twin thorns
in the side of District residents
brought about the founding in
the early EOS Of the Dupont
Circle Citizens Association.
Organized on the first Mon
day Of May. 1922. the group i'm
mediately embroiled itself in a
boundary dispute with the West
End Citizens Association.
According to one Of its found
ers, Capt. r. c. Emig, the Dupont
Circle group did not pay much
attention to the dispute. Instead.
he said. the association buried
itself with matters Of civic i'm
portance. The dispute was
amicably settled, with N street
NV. set as the Dupont Circle
groups southern boundary. Since
then. 1t has been changed to 4
street.
While the Federal payment
problem still remains unsolved,
the group can point with pride
to It's support Of a number of
projects beneficial to the Dis
trict.
In the late EOS, the group lent
its support to the establishment
Of a planning commission, which
laid the ground work for estab-

lishment of the parks and play
grounds system OF the district.
In the early days of World
War II, the association was a
moving force for the establish
ment of an efficient civilian de-
tense force
The principal aim of the group
now is to see that an orderly
change takes place in an area
that is becoming predominantly
business.
Throughout the years, the
group has had able members to
conceive and execute its pro-
grams. They include Maj. Gen.
U. s. Grant III, USA, retired,
planning expert: Admiral Will
liam D. Leahy. USN. retired;
Robert Woods Bliss, former am
bassador to Argentina; Col.

Sabotage Of District
CD Setup Charged

The Districts civil defense
setup is being sabotaged by lack
of cooperation on the part of
Congress and the District Com
missioners according to Garrett
Underhill, a deputy director of
civil defense.
Addressing the Minnesota Ave-
nue-River Terrace-North Randle
Highlands Citizens Association,
Mr.. Underhill called for an or
ganized Metropolitan Area COM
mand to include the rural areas
of Maryland and Virginia.
Fire and rescue units would be
placed safely outside the possible
target area. An underground
command post (the nerve center
of local units) also would be es-
tablished outside the city. Mr..
Underhill deplored the fact that,
after four years, the city still is
without a proper warning system
for an enemy attack.
Two films dealing with civil
defense were shown at the meet
ing, conducted by Alfred T. Mar

In other business. the citizen
group sent a resolution to the

Everybody used a wood
stove in those days." she con-
tinued. "And grandmother
held my skirts back so they
wouldn't fall into the FIRE,

But the dinner was a great
success and Miss Matte has
enjoyed a reputation as q
cook ever since.

The daughter Of Capt. Henry
Clay Fillebrown and Margaret
Hay Paine Fillebrown, she was
born in the house at 1889 I
street NV, which was the
home of her maternal grand
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Orris
Snow Paine.
Her father, a civil engineer,
was drowned in the Coosa

he was on a surveying expedi-
ton when Matte was only 6.

Little Matte became her

famous figures in Washington.
which she wildly remembers
to this day.

time during the administra-

ton given by another cabinet
member and his wife.
The hostess, on seeing Mrs.
Eaton, quickly dropped her
hands to her sides to avoid
greeting her unwanted guest,
according to Miss Fillebrown's
grandmother who attended the
Soiree. Then she turned to
someone and made a disparag-
ing remark in French.
"She didn't know Peggy
O'Neale spoke French fluently,"
Miss Matte relates. But she
soon found out. (The spirited

Assailants Kill Argentine Cop Guarding Church

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, R Unidentified assailants surprised two policemen guarding the Cris- to Key Roman Catholic Church before dawn Saturday, killed one who resisted and fled with the police weapons.
 Federal authorities have sta toned guards at all Catholic churches since the night of the June 16 revolution, when vandals sacked and burned many of the finest religious buildings in the capital.
 Federal police officials sped to the Cristo Key Church, which is in the suburban Nunez district of Buenos Aires near the stadium of the River Plata Sports Club.
 First reports said four or five men attacked the two guards and fled in black sedan. There was no indication of the motive.
 The incident developed even while officials pressed a probe of the death of pr. Juan Ingalinell, a prominent Rosario physician and a Communist, after he was ar rested. An investigating commit tee announced police who made the arrest have confessed he died in their custody and they threw his body in river.
 Peron's press secretary an- nounced Friday that a suppressed Roman Catholic newspaper will be permitted to reopen and US. publications will be allowed to circulate freely in Argentina.

Aliens Gan Now Co Freely Between Alaska And States If They Have
 Legal Residence in the US.

? WASHINGTON, R-Inmigra- tion officials said Friday that aliens having legal residence in this country may now travel free 1y to the territories and posses sions without challenge to their admissibility upon returning to the US. proper.
 This is a result of the now abandoned deportation case of Argentine-born crooner Die k Haynes. The singer successfully resisted Immigration Service ef- forts to deport him after a 1853 trip to Hawaii to visit actress Rita Hayworth whom he later married.
 The Board of Immigration Ap- peals twice upheld the deporta- tion order against Haynes. But a federal district court juhge here cancelled the order May 3l, rul- ing the singer did not leave the United States by going to the islands. The court said Hawaii is a geographical part of the US.
 The Justice Dept. disclosed ear Her last week it will not appeal these findings, thus accepting them as binding law.
 l.. Hennessey, executive assis- tant to Immigration Commission CT Joseph L. Swingen, said in re- sponse to an inquiry that the court dictum with respect to Haynes will be applied to all others having his permanent resi- dence status, not only in relation to Hawaii but also to Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is- lands.
 He explained that visits to those places will not be regarded as departure from the United States proper, provided the trip does not include a visit to foreign soil.
 However, he said, an alien who has only permit for temporary stay in the US. and who goes to the territories or possessions will continue to be subject to examin- ation for admissibility upon re- turn to the States, just as though he were arriving from foreign origin.
 Hennessey said the regular check on all arrivals from Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Vir- gin Islands will be continued as a routine required to establish which are American citizens and which are aliens.
 The Americans simply have to show proof of citizenship. The aliens must prove their admissa- bility.

Project Engineers Boss Air Force
 Building Projects

At remote northern sites where the Alaska District Corps of En- gineers is supervising construc- tion of a network of US. Air Force installations, picked group of men have been assigned to head the projects where more than $22,OOO,OOO in contracts are starting this summer.
 Holding the job of Project Engineers, they are responsible for getting the tough construction done on time and done right re- gardless of obstacles of isolation, transportation and rugged coun- try and weather.
 The project engineers have had specialized training both in the field and district office in An chorage and varied experience in Territory and Stateside construc- tion and engineering. Some were with the Army Engineers in World War II and Korea and other parts of the world.
 The new project engineers in- clude: Galena, Noren V. Ander- son; Bethel, Harold D. Dewitt; Chiniak, Donald MacKinnon; Fit, Yukon, Frederick w. Burns; Homer, Harry E. Jones; King Salmon NakneD, Geo. w. Avery; Kotzebue, Harry Knudson; Mid dleton Island, Bernard Sturgul- ewski IT,; Unalakleet, Joseph F. MacIsaac.
 Noren Andy Anderson, prof ect engineer at Galena where nearly $5,OOO,0OO in construction began this spring, came to Alaska in 1946 with the Department of the Army and served until his separation in AS. He worked with contractors and was resident en- gineer for the Alaska Railroad until he joined the Alaska Dis trict Corps of Engineers in 1852. He was in the Philippines when World War II started.
