Even though she loves the

Ernestine Brown, a 22-year-old
former choir singer at Rockville
Baptist Church, seems headed for
a career as a top-notch folk sing
er. And Ernie says it all hap
pened by accident.
Ernie, vivacious and attractive,
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roland Brown of Falls Road,
Rockville. She studied voice and
piano here, and after she gradu-
ated from Richard Montgomery
High School in 1852 enrolled in
Westminster Choir College, at
Princeton, N. ].
At Westminster Ernie got ex-
cellent instruction in the tech
niques of music, but by the end
of her sophomore year she had
decided that musical comedy
work not choir singing - was
for her.
So she moved to New York
City, took job and studied at
night, trying to prepare herself
for roles in Broadway shows.
In New Jersey Ernie met a
Princeton University student
named Brooks Jones, who intro
duced her to folk music. Before,
Ernie had greeted any mention
of folk music" with shudder,
thinking of the wailing of COM
mercial ''hillbillies."
Discovered Folk Songs
But through Brooks she discov-
cred that true folk music = songs
of the British Isles and the Amer
lean mountain communities that
have come down, unwritten,
through the generations = can be
interesting and beautiful. She
discovered, too, that folk music
covers a vast range of songs,
from melodic laments like Cock
leshellS" (When cockleshells turn
into silver bells, then will my
love return to me } to gay
jig tunes like "Sow Took the
Measles"
Last spring Brooks got an idea
for show he wanted to put on
at Princeton. The show was to
be concert of folk songs, chosen
and organized to show that they
are truly the music of the peo-
pie. Ernie agreed to sing in the
show with Brooks and another
young man.
The show went on under the
title, 80 Folk Sing" 1t was pre-
scented six times in Princeton to
capacity audiences. Then the
singers were asked to put it on
at Actors Playhouse, an off
Broadway theater in New York,
in July.
From these performances came
an invitation to play at the Blue
Angel, a New York supper club
which has been a jumping-off
place for many of today's top
stars. In a slightly revised form,
"3 Folk Sing" is tentatively sched-

Groups Debate
Highway Cost

A protracted meeting among
agencies interested in the pro-
vision Of fishways in the new
Little Falls Dam on the Potomac
River yesterday netted no results
except the mutual satisfaction
of a full exchange of views.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
District Engineer Commissioner,
called the session in his District
Building office. Representatives
iof Maryland and Virginia State
and Federal conservation agen-
Icies attended with those of the
District government, which is
paying for the dam, and the
Washington engineer district,
which is building it.
The conservationists hold that
fishways should be installed, os-
tensibly at District expense. The
Army Engineers and the District
Commissioners contend that this
cost should not be saddled on
District water consumers who
will benefit from the water supply
dam. ~:
Gen. Lane said that the con-
ference revealed no changes Of
position. He seemed hopeful
however. that another meeting
in the near future could lead tc
some sort of compromise, par
ticularly in the possibility of ar
Iinter-agency sharing of the cost
of the proposed fish passages.

|Maragon Job
Charge Denied

Denials were on record from
Democratic leaders today that
they fired anyone to give John
|Maragon, convicted five-per-
center, a job on the Federal pay
roll.
Mr.. Maragon, one-time Kansas
City bootblack who hung around
the White House during the Tru-
man administration, showed ur
as a temporary employee in the
House folding room at $1.61 ar
hour.
This evoked an outburst from
Representative Ayres, Republican
of Ohio, in which he charged or
the House floor that Ralph Seal.

ployed in the folding room three
years, had been ousted ito make
way for a good Democrat"
Denial by Rayburn
Speaker Rayburn was quick tc
deny the charge. THAT isn't
true" he said. 1.-THE first read
about Maragon was when I read
it in the newspapers.
Mr.. Maragon served a prison
term for perjury in connection
with a congressional investiga-
ton into influence peddling five
years ago.
An official of the folding room
said Mr.. Maragon was not al
work today. Inquiries about his
status were referred to the
Democratic Patronage Commit
tee, but the telephone did not
answer there today. Neither did
the telephone listed to Mr..
Maragon's home.
Yesterday Mr.. Ayers said he
was opposed to the congressional
payroll becoming "a haven for

who have been coveted of be-
traying their trust" Mr.. Mara

was no connection at all between

official agreed, saying Mr.. Scalzc
