language that anybody could I'M
deFstand few have this gift. He
brought the issues before his
readers without bias and he let
the chips fall where they may.
The principles and ideas that he
projected and supported will new

still lives, because what. other
than principles and ideas. make
a human being? Have We not
always said. that the color Of ones

The people who read Mr.. Tay-

for "first-come, first-served' seat

state and local laws requiring
segregation.
The city also agreed that the

WORTHINGTON, Mimi, Feb
10 up. - Senator Kefauver
Democrat of Tennessee. promised
here tonight to champion the
cause of the small businessman
and the small farmer if he il
elected President.
Concluding the first day of his
four day drive in Minnesota fol
votes in the March 20 presiden-
Itial primary, the Tennesseear
discarded a prepared text ir
which he predicted victory in the
struggle against juvenile delin-
Iquency.
If / am elected President" he
said, Il will see thai antitrust
laws are enforced and strength
Iened to protect small business.
He called the present admins
.tration one interested in big
money and big business.
Earlier, in a talk in Pipestone
MINI, the Senator accused the
present administration of launch
ing IAN insidious attack" upon
the REA and the co-operatives.
The administrators anti
REA program, Senator Kefauvel
said, involved cutting requests for
loan funds, creating credit prob
lems," slowing construction OF
power projects already under
way, attempting to destroy" the
Tennessee Valley Authority
opening the way for power COM
panies Ito seize the cream of the
power sites" and refusal to build

A policeman on duty answered

head injury while playing.
Pvt. Pietro A. Catucci, 81,

dispatcher to go to his home but
en- route received another radio
call that the boy had been taken
to Children's Hospital.

Agency Offers
To Help Move
Old Firehouse

The International Monetary
Fund yesterday offered to put
up $4,000 to cover the cost OF
tearing down the 1i8-year-old
Union Engine House at Nine
Iteenth and H streets NV, and
rebuilding 1t on the campus of
George Washington University.
The proposal will be consid-
erred Wednesday by the executive
committee OF the Association of
Oldest Inhabitants, which &C.
cupies the former firehouse as a
headquarters and has been OPP
posing It's destruction.
The Monetary Fund wants the
site for a new headquarters
building it is planning.
Under the proposal, offered at
an hour and a half meeting in
the Office of District Commits
sioner Samuel Spencer, the uni
versity would own the recon-
structed building and lease 1t to
the association on a long term
basis for 81 a year.
The school also would use the
building and provide all mainte-
nance and repairs. In addition,
1t would help collate and put on
display the more valuable items
in the associations collection of
historical material about the
Capital City.
Site for the building would be
half way between G and H
streets NV, on Twenty-second
street, in the U-shaped park to
be provided by the university's
new engineering building.
The old building would be ex-
banded to provide a small audi
forum. Rough estimates indi-
Gated the reconstruction might
cost about $4,000.
The association occupies the
government-owned flrehouse un-
der permit from the District
Commissioners.

The bill. written by Senator
Mansfield, Democrat Of Mon
tana, and signed by 20 Demo-
Gratis and Is Republicans. Is
likely TO stir UP congressional
and public discussion of three
questions:
Should Congress more closely
CHA activities?
How does the CHA operate?
Is the CHA any good as a spy
outfit?
The CHA itself and Its chief,
Allen Dulles, have no public an
swers to any of these questions.
1t mover explains or defends its
publicly and believes
that to do SO would be to de-
stroy its usefulness.
See Need for Checks
The hackers of the bill agree
super secrecy is necessary. But
they believe they have a formula
for a committee which will
maintain the secrecy but restore
some Congressional checks and
b alances over the executive
branch that were lost when the
GA was created.

Congressman demanded on the
House floor that CHA Director
Dulles state publicly how he
stood on a dispute among refu-
gee groups over the future polit-

from behind the Iron Curtain.

Mr.. Dulles was siding with the
wrong faction and wanted an
open disavowal.
