Saved

A Washington workman was
happy so years ago because
he fell into a mud puddle. On
November 10, 1906, The Star

FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE STAR

A half century ago Con-
gress was. finding it difficult to
stir up anything but yawns
about its forthcoming session.
The Star, on November 20,
1906, reported: with the as
sembling of Congress only
twelve days away, rather scant
interest is being manifested
in that approaching event.
There is not much in the leg
islative program to enthuse
over at best. Besides. a num-
Der of gentlemen in the Lower
Branch of Congress have had
their latent store of enthusi-
asm somewhat dampened by
the recent election. There is
always the prospect, Of course,
of the executive putting some
ginger into the proceedings,
and it looks as If he will have
to do it this year, or the Cir
culation Of that esteemed
contemporary, the Congress
sional Record, will fall of.
This time last year everybody
was all excited over the rail-
road rate legislation. There
was the prospect of a stiff
necked Senate resisting the
presidential yoke. with a bully
scrap in sight. The bill was
not TO pass-no. not until a
certain molten place should
freeze over AS recollection
serves, no reports Of the freeze
up have yet arrived. but the
law is on the books. There
were other contests in pros
pect last year which lent inter-
est to the session that are
lacking now. ;"

From this blow it took the Democrats "a years
to recover, and until 1884 they were not able to

man who put the Democrats back in the White

CITY ANNEXES LARGE
EAST Side AREA THIS WEEK

In two separate annexation
moves made this week the City
of Phoenix added 5.03 square
miles of fringe area to the east
with a population estimated at
$500. It was the largest area
annexed in the City's history.
It boosted the estimated popu-
lation of Phoenix to 162 ,983,
and raised the total area of the
City to 35.O5 square miles. In
cluded in the annexed area was

was annexed to prevent the
southwark expansion OF Scotts-
dale in that area, as well as to
improve the opportunity to gain
the state-owned park for a City
recreational area.
> Immediately upon annexation,
police and fire protection was
given and City street mainte-
nance crews were sent into the
new area to start repairing the
streets, cleaning alleys and do
ing other maintenance work
City limit signs are being moved
to new locations and work is
being started on placing street

Thoughts on Life
Agreed For
The New Year
By DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

A MAN CANNOT resolve himself
into an angel, but he can resolve HIM
self into a better man. When we cease
to resolve, we cease to evolve.
In youth we thrilled at every New
Year, but we older heads are likely to
think that resolutions do not pay, and
failing to keep the heart of youth, we
begin to decay at the top.
Would you be interested in what
want to say about New Year? will
call it creed for 1856.
I believe in doing better work than
1 have ever done.
believe that the prompting of my
conscience is the Voice of God to me.
believe in human beings; that there
is little bad in the best people, and
some good in the worst.
believe that the people who do not
like me have good in them.
I believe that all virtue is rewarded
right here on earth and that the Jingle
in the heart for doing right is a little
Earnest money paid in advance for
Eternity.
believe that God sends little chill
dren to be the school teachers of us
older folk to teach us patience and
purity.
believe that the angels envy: us
when we hear the prattle of a little
baby; that love is the supreme gift of
Heaven; that the voices Of young lovers
whose hearts are pure is the music of

While in the hospital he had to
forego many of his official functions
two meetings of the National Sc
curity Council, over which he
normally presides; cabinet meetings,
the weekly White House visit of
Republican legislative leaders, the
sessions Of his Operations Co-ordin-
ating Board. Also he had to forego
the many daily nonroutine meet
lngS with administration leaders
and to postpone indefinitely the visit
here of Indian Prime Minister
Jawarharlal Nehru.
His forced absence from duty un-
doubtedly will increase his workload
when he returns to the White House
after his Gettysburg sojourn. 1t
undoubtedly also will be seized upon
by the Democratic Party in its ex-
ploitation of the health issue"-or.

The measure was opposed by
Representative DIN league of

in the door to more costly veterans

by the supposedly vote powerful
American Legion. the scheme dis
regarded the advice of the Bradley
Commission report. issued only last
April, that such largesse should go
only to the veterans who are dis
abled because of military service.
But although 1854 House members
got themselves on the record as
friends of the veteran" they didn't
have to worry too much about the
money ever being spent. The bill
was given little chance in the Sen
ate, where only third of the
members, unlike those of the House
who face the voters every two years,
are up for reelection this year.
And even should it pass the upper
body, there was still the White
House hurdle.

Leaves Hospital

President Eisenhower left Wal

days and 10 hours after his pain
full entrance on stretcher on
June 9. He also was pounds
under the 1863 he weighed just be-
fore the surgeons cut away part
of a diseased small intestine. From
the hospital, the President went to
his Gettysburg farm for period
of convalescenSe.
There was still no word from Mr..
Eisenhower as to whether he still
intends to be candidate for Sec
ond term. But anyone betting he
wouldn't could find as many takers
as man backing the Washington
Senators for the American League
pennant.
Democrats and Republicans alike
were taking it for granted that the
G. o. p ticket this year still will
be Eisenhower-N Nixon. With only
seven weeks left in which to find
a replacement for Mr.. Eisenhower,
the opinion was that If his decision
were against running, the Presi-
dent would have given the word
to his party before now.
National G. o. P. Chairman
Leonard Hall all along has main
tanned the kind of confidence that
would be justified by signed and
sealed agreement from Mr.. Eisen-
hover to run. And the Democrats.
in concentrating more and more on
the health issue. have revealed that
they. too, are reconciled. to run
ming against the champion vote
getter.

doubts in his own mind, two de-
velopmentS last week could have

MARYLAND
BY GENE GOODWIN

The campaign to open the beauti-
full Baltimore Washington parkway
TO truck traffic is still very much
alive.
Advocates Of the move are look
ing hopefully toward the new
bosses OF the State Road Commits
sion. which has indirectly prevented
them from achieving their goal in
the past.
Russell H. Mccain, who was
ouSted last month as roads COM
mission chairman by Gov. Nc
Keldin. had always stood fast
against Federal efforts to give the
l9-mile federally owned section of
the parkway to Maryland.
Such a transfer of ownership
would have the effect of opening
UP the entire road to truck traffic,
since Maryland allows trucks on
all its roads. Bills to ban trucks
OH the l1-mile Maryland-owned
section of the parkway were de-
feated in the 1853 and 1855 Legis-
latures.
What the attitude of the new
roads commission chairman, Robert
o. Bonnell. will be toward the
transfer proposal, is anybodys
guess at this point. But advocates
OF the move aim to find out before
very long
New Pressure Planned
Leaders OF the WASHINGTON
Baltimore Boulevard Improvement
Associations group OF Baltimore
boulevard residents and commercial
interests concerned about getting
trucks of the boulevard and onto
the parkway-are laying plans to
renew their pressure on the State
government this summer.
They don't feel they have any
problem with Federal officials, who
seem anxious to turn both the
Baltimore highway and the Suit
land parkway over to Maryland.
That would rid the Interior De-
partment and the subordinate
National Park Service of the cost
OF maintaining and policing the
two roads.
1t is the maintenance factor that
caused Mr. Mccain and other State
officials to turn a cold shoulder
to the transfer proposal first
bloached by Federal officials almost
three years ago.
Mi Mccain estimated that it
would cost 100000 to $1,000 a year
To- maintain the Federal section
between the District and Jessup,
Md In addition, he held that Mary
land would have to spend more
than So million right at the begin
ming to bring the Federal section
up to State standards.
