House Action Slated
Today on CIAMove
Woman Sobs in Protest
AS End Neors for Home

A weeping woman protested
in vain today as District Santa
ton laborers emptied 1441
Girard street NE. into the yard,
preparing it for destruction.
Miss Patricia Fahey's eyes
filled as she saw the end of the
road in her long battle to save
the property from razing.
1T is a house of history" she
said. 1T was called The Little
House in the Grove" Miss
Fahey said the place was stand
ing when the British burned the
White House in the War Of 1912.
1t was showplace, she added.
Owner Died in 1851
Legal title to the house be-
longs to Holland heirs of its late
owner. Mrs, Cornelia Suiker-
bulk. Miss Fahey cared for the
old and sick woman for three
years before Mrs. Suikerbuik
died in 1851.
She said her patient, by then
a dear friend. told her with al
most her last breath, Il have
left you in the house and don't
let anyone take you out of it."
But she has already been taken
out of it by District law. Evic-
ton was finally completed after
Miss Fahey twice was arrested
on charges of occupying a con-
demned dwelling. She said she
left last year. She would not tell
her present address.
The District first warned the
house would have to go as far
back as July, 1949. After Mrs.
Suikerbuik's death, condemna-
ton matters dawdled along
until the place was formally
doomed in January. 1858. Even
then Miss Fahey remained.
The old house is not insani-
tary, she protested tearfully to-
day. She said the District has
been determined to get the half
acre site for a school.
Furniture Pile Grows
Everything in the fully fur
nished house went into the yard
today. The pile of miscellaneous
furniture. furnishings and gar
mentS grew 10 feet high.
Miss Fahey picked over the
huge stack, selecting mementos
for a little stack she started for
herself nearby?
Police were to Gull the big pile,
tag the more valuable items and
store them for the owners. What
is judged worthless will be
ltrucked to the junk yard. A bull
dozer was called to the address
today to clear a path for truckers
to reach the stack.
COnfrOnts Official
A wrecker picked up an English
goblet. Miss Fahey furiously
struck it from his hand. Her
sorrow gave way to temper also
when she confronted Richard L.
) Mattingly, executive secretary of
the Districts Board for Con-
domination of Insanitary Build
ings.

He is considered a bright little
boy with potentialities, who will
have a good place in life once he
learns to love.
Tommy has never been to
camp. He can't wait to go.
Those in the community house
who know him feel he'll find the
swimming and hiking and varied
outdoor program fun.
But even more, he will benefit
from sharing things with other
children his own age, from the
give and take of play. and es-
pecially from living in a cabin
with other youngsters. And he
will be helped by love and direc-
ton from understanding adults.
Can End Loneliness
Children can't ratio nalize
loneliness. 1t is just something
they feel all through them, all
the time. Tommys loneliness
will disappear as he learns to
communicate with other people.

sent and future with friends by

bill to regulate payment and COL

measure including spokesman for

TO THE MAN of the house,
the visit comes just after he
has decided to put off until
later moving the lawn and
repairing the latch on the
closet door in the guest room.
1t comes on the verge of a
week end that has been set
aside, at long last, for relaxa-
ton after a spate of busy
week ends.
With each visit there is an
other round of sightseeing,
chauffering the visitors to
points of interest, most of
which lose all their interest
by midsummer. 1t makes no
difference that they were
seen last week. They must be
seen again, because this is a
new batch of visitors.
A man who lives in Glover
Park was saying recently that
he's been so often to the JEFF
ferSon and Lincoln Memorials
that he refers to them as
Tom and Abe.
The insult that makes him
want to pound his head slow
ly against the nearest brick
wall, he went on, is this
innocent query from the visi-
tors:
DO Washington people Wis
it these places often?"

The
Rambler
Summer Gets Us
Coming and Going
By JACK JONAS

A fellow we know was COM
planning the other day that
Washington doesn't have
much to offer in the summer
in the way of keeping people
busy.
How he ever overlooked
or escaped = the two major
occupations of residents Of
the Nations Capital during
the vacation season is hard to
realize. They are, of course,
being visited, and worse,
going visiting.
The folks from Keokuk and
Oshkosh are always welcome.
Nobody can blame them for
wanting to see a world center
as famed as Washington, and
the visitors make a lot of
trade wheels go around.
But they always seem to be
dropping in unannounced,
unless you consider a tele-
phone call from National Air
port or Union Station adj
vance notice.
To the lady of the house, it
seems these previously unan-
nounced visitors announce
themselves just after the eve
ming paper has been read and
well distributed over the liv-
ing room floor, and the dishes
are still piled high in the
sink.
The visit comes while the
extra sheets are making a
courageous effort to dry
themselves in a damp base
ment while it rains outside.
Or it comes just after the
man of the house has de-
manded that something be
done about keeping food costs
within reason.

Indicts
||yPrevatte

Billy Ray Prevatte has been
indicted by a Prince Georges
grand jury charging him with
murder in the shooting May 4
of Frazer Cameron, a Maryland
Park Junior High School teach
er, it was learned today
The county grand jury re-
turned the indictment at Upper
Marlboro yesterday. Also re-
turned were true bills charging
that the 14-year-old boy wound
ed and intended to kill two other
teachers, Francis D. Wagner arlo
Robert Hicks.
The youth was returned to the
county Jail last week after a
stay at Spring Grove State Hos
.pital. where he was pronounced
sane and able to stand trial.
Investigators said the shoot
ing occurred at the school while
Prevatte, armed with a .22-cali-
Der rife, conducted an angry
hunt for Principal John Hrezc
who had reprlmanded him foI
truancy.
Charges against Prevatte were
sent to the grand jury after TTia
Magistrate Nita S. Hinmar
Crane waived Juvenile Court
jurisdiction at the end Of an all
day hearing Tuesday.
Wilmer D. PyleS. Prevatte'S
counsel, asked Judge Crane to
retain jurisdiction declaring that
this 14-year-old boy should moi
be tried as an adult"
Judge Crane said that Prince
Georges County juvenile statutes
do not list penalties for such
charges.
A private psychiatrist retained
by the defense has not reported
his findings.

AS FOR VISITING, even
people who live in Washing
ton take vacations OCCASION
ally, although after the trip
is over the vacationers some
times wish they'd stayed at
home and puttered around
the garden.
The lowest grade file clerk,
if he lives in Washington and
especially if he works for the
Government, is expecte d,
when he journeys to the
hinterlandS, to furnish the
latest hot inside information
about everything from the
prospects for decreasing the
farm surplus to the size of the
Russian air force.
How often do you see the
President? How are things in
the Supreme Court? Is Con-
greSS going to give us money
so we can dam the creek
above town and have our
reservoir?
1t does no good to point out
that the average Washing
tonian is not in the habit of
calling at the White House. 1t
does no good to diSclaim
knowledge of the workings of
Government. Anyone who
lives in Washington is ex-
pected to know.
If the ones being visited are
put off, they soon find an
other way of asking the same
questions, and some kind of
answer eventually has to be
given.
To the fellow who was
complaining about little to do
in Washington in the sum-
mer, there is only one an
swer: There is plenty to do.
There is plenty to do when
the visitors come. And there
is plenty to do, too, before
the vacation-such as read
ing the newspapers word for
word so that at least a few
answers will be at the finger
tips on the visit to the
hinterlands.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Sample Of New Life
Could Awaken 7 ommy

Tommy and his grandmother
live together, but they really live
alone.
Each is all the family the other
has. Yet there is very little real
communication between them.
Their feelings seldom touch.
They are both lonely.
For one thing, they are SO
many year apart. For another,
Tommy's grandmother does not
know how to discipline a little
boy. Raised in the school of
loud threats herself, she resorts
to them often, but never takes
action.
She thinks this shows her love
for Tommy. But she only sue
ceeds in building up fear in him.
And since he does not have
guide posts and limits by which
he can build his life, he finds it
difficult to get along with other
people.
Deserted as Baby
Tommy, who is 10, has never
known his parents. Both de-
serted when he was a baby.
The closest he has been to in
formed love and acceptance has
been at the community house.
Never sure of his welcome,
Tommy was problem to him
self and the other children when
he first went there for classes
and fun. Thin. nervous and with
drawn. he chung to the workers.
And he reported every move the
other children made to the
leader, hoping to get closer to
him and win his love.
Tommy was a tattler.
Tommy has never stopped
needing his father. He showed in
ceramic class how he felt about
his fathers desertion His fa-
vorite project was to make man
out of clay. then drop it on the
floor and break it. He covered
his real feelings by telling the
teacher the man Jumped
The community house has
helped Tommy. He worships the
men counselors there. Often, he
asks to stay and help them clean
up.
Begins To Belong
Tommy tattles less. and less
now. too. He doesn't need to
tattle anymore. He is. becoming
a real part of the group. He is
beginning to be accepted by
the other children. He is be-
ginning to belong.
