Washington
Stamp For


1856 calendar of events and
activities to be conducted by the
Booker T. Washington National
Monument foundation in con-
nection with the observance of
the Tooth anniversary of the
birth of Booker T. Washington.
Booker Washington Birthplace,
Va, December, 1856 The recent
announcement by the United
States Office Department of a
Booker T. Washington Centennial
Stamp honoring the Tooth Ami
versary of the birth of Booker I.
Washington is gratifying to all
Americans who wish to let the
world know how great this land
Of ours is, and the fine spirit it
exhibits in paying due homage to
t h ose through whose efforts
America has grown into the world
power that it is today.
The author of the idea for the
issuance Of this stamp was Sidney
j. Phillips, President of the Book
er T. Washington National Monu-
ment Foundation, whose beliefs
in the ideals for which Booker I.
Washington stood have made it
possible for him to do more, per-
haps, than any other living Amer
lean to keep alive the philosophy
of this great Educator.
With the assistance of Con-
gresham William M. Tuck of the
Fifth Congressional District
of Virginia, where Booker I.
Washington was born, and other
outstanding Americans, including
both Senators and Congressman
from Alabama, Michigan and Vir-
ginia. together with members OF
the United States Post Office and
Civil Service Committees, who
endorsed the idea, President Phil
lips was able to get the coopera-
ton Of the u. S. Post Office De
partment in issuing this Centen-
NAL Stamp in spite of the fact
that the request was first denied
because there were 1890 other
requests for stamps honoring
outstanding Americans on file,
and n stamp had already been
issued in 1910 honoring Booker T.
Washington.

STOCKHOLM, May % (R.-I
Your home is radioactive. So is
everybody else's. The radio
activity has nothing to do with
atomic bombs; it's been going on
for centuries.
The Royal Swedish Academy
of Science has come up with the
broadest study of home radio
activity yet made. It includes
data on the natural radioactivity
measured in about 1000 homes
in Is Swedish cities.
A report by DR.. Begt Hultqvist
says radiation levels differ con-
siderably from house to house
depending on the building ma
terial.
Wooden houses had far less
radioactivity, as a rule, than
houses made of brick. Build
ings of light concrete, containing
alum slate. came out on top for
radioactivity among all buildings
checked.
Ventilation a Factor
Some dwelling houses were a
hundred times more radioactive
than others. DR.. Hultqvist re-
corded differences to in the
amount of radioactivity present
in the bedroom, kitchen or dining
room of the same apartment.
Ventilation made an enormous
difference. He often found the
radiation level 10 times higher in
the morning after inhabitants
had spent the night with doors
and windows shut. DR.. Hult-
qvist says radioactivity may rise
above the internationally adopted
maximum safety level in brick
houses without ventilation.
The Hultqvist report is the
first published result of a pioneer
research project launched here
three years ago by the Swedish
Institute of Radiophysics. The
principal aim is to record the
natural radiation environment
of average people in the dawn
of the atomic age.
Will Publish Report
Prof. Rolf Sievert, head Of the
Institute Of RadiophySics anc
leader Of the overall project
says the medical team is expected
to publish its report in a few
months.
But I can tell you already
that they did not find any differ.

Chances Given
Boy Whose Father
Led Him to Crime

ELIZABETH, N. j., May %
.(P.-An 18-year-old youth who
participated with his father in
a series of crimes, including a
fatal holdup, has been given a
chance at new life.
Michael Monahan, who adj
mitted at IS o'committing $50
burglaries under his fathers
tutelage, was released from
Bordentown Reformatory yester-
day by Juvenile Court Judge
Libby E. Sachar.
AS an interim step in his re-
adjustment. he was sent to a
Texas ranch for a year. Mona
han was placed in the custody
of Capt. Edward burning. Irving
ton juvenile officer who has been
interested in the boys case.
The boys father. Eugene Mon
ahan, who had spent Is years
in prisons. was executed for the
killing of a bartender and a
patron in a $50 holdup on March
IL, 1858.
Michael claimed at first that
he fired the two fatal bullets
but later the father took full
blame for the crime. Both were
picked up for murder, but the
courts ruled Michael could not
be tried for the crime because
he was juvenile.
Michael confessed to a long
series of burglaries under the
supervision of his father ano
was placed in Bordentown.
Yesterday Judge Sachar said
the boy had made sufficient
progress to warrant reconsidera-
ton of his case.

Amend zoning
Rule For D-5
Permit Holders

To further restrict the location
of places of business in East
Cleveland where intoxicating
liquor is sold, the City Commits
sion, upon the recommendation of
the Zoning Board of Appeals has
approved two amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance.
In addition to restrictions
already carried in the ordinance
for sales under other types of
permits, the one amendment will
extend from 500 to 800 feet, the
distance between a place Of busi-
ness having a Do permit and the
boundries of a parcel of real estate
having situated upon it school,
church, library, public park or
playground, or any place for public
assembly.
Furthermore, in a second a.
mendment, the restriction on this
type of business is further fenced
in with a Qualification of off-street
parking requirements. This amend
ment provides for one off-street
parking space for each 100 square
feet of gross floor area of the
business, or for each six seats
provided for patron use, whichever
calls for the greater number of
parking spaces.

East Cleveland Area, announced
jointly with Mrs. Anthony J.
Celebrezze, Campaign Chairman,
that the Nephrosis Campaign Off
cially is underway. this week and

$3.50 p. m, said Mrs. Fiore.
She saide that is seemed most
fitting that the bulk of the money
will be raised on the first day

renewed. 1t is the new hope in
the form of continued research,
free medication, financial assist
ance, and parent education that
the campaign will bring to count
less children with Nephrosis and
their parents.
Mrs. Fiore said that the Founda-
tion needs $4,000 to continue its

Speeding Didn't
Help Matters ANY

The very thought of an East
Cleveland police cruiser brings un-
pleasant memories to Frank Catania,
21, of 16006 Saranac ave., NE. The
sight of one sends him speeding at
50 mph to get away from it.
At least this is the tale he told
Sgt. Herbert Fortune and William
Baker after they gave chase from
Euclid and Superior to East 163rd
and st. Clair ave. about midnight
Monday. He said he had been picked
up here. a year ago, and fined $3.50.
He didn't want to repeat the ex-
perience.
Catania, east-bound, had stopped
for the Euclid-Superior red light.
The police cruiser, also eastbound,
slowed down for the same reason.
One glance by Frank and he was
off, through every red light that
came along. The officers gave chase.
They also booked him for reckless
driving. Franks wondering what
the sentence will be this time.

ternining whether or not to place
a charge or Indictment against an
offender; including the matter of
preparation for the trial itself, and
the picking of the jury. He will
conclude his speech by citing ex-
amples of unusual cases in East
Cleveland.
Mr.. Webster has been a resident
of East Cleveland for the past
forty years and has been an active
leader in numerous civic activities
having had a noticeable effect on
the growth and development of this
community.
Mr.. Webster went through the
East Cleveland Public Schools and
did his pre-law and law studies at
Western Reserve University receiv-
ing his degree in law in 1888. In
conjunction with his private prac-
tice, he holds the office of Assistant
Director of Law and Acting Assist
ant Prosecutor of East Cleveland.
