Shortage Of Blood
Is Critical Despite
Gift Of 3o5 Pints

The blood shortage at the Red
Cross Regional Blood Center was
still regarded as critical today,
despite the donation of 395 pints
yesterday by persons who an
swered an emergency appeal.
A special drive within the
State Department was organized
this afternoon by Douglas Mac
Arthur II, counselor of the de-
Ipartment. He called a meeting
of all assistant Secretaries of
State to urge them to make per-
sonal donations Of blood and en-
courage members of their stats
to do the same.
OF the blood donated yester-
day, 1856 pints were given at the
blood center, 2025 E street NV,
and the rest at the two blood
mobiles at Andrews Air Force
Base and Hagerstown, Md.
Most of the blood had to be
shipped to hospitals at once to
meet accumulated shortages,
leaving little to restore the de-
Ipleted reserve in the Red Cross
blood bank at the center.

Underposs Work
On Deune Avenue
To Cause Detour

Partial closing Of the Deane
avenue underpass, between Ken
ilworth and Minnesota avenues
NE, will begin at $3.50 am.
tomorrow and will be continued
for about month it was an
nounced today.
Acting Traffic Director Wal
lace L. Braun, said the under
pass will be partially closed for
resurfacing and relocation of
the railroad freight spur by the
District Highway Department.
AS inbound traffic, between
River road in Maryland and
the Minnesota avenue shopping
center area, will be unable to
make a left turn from Kenil-
worth to Deane avenue. it was
suggested that it detour at
Eastern avenue.
Outbound traffic from Min
nesota avenue to River road
in Maryland should also use
the detour. as it will not be able
to make a right turn from the
underpass to Kenilworth avenue.
The detour will run from
Eastern and Kenilworth avenues
east on Eastern to Minnesota
avenue, south to Quarles street,
east to Forty-ninth street, south
to Sheriff road, west to Min
neSota and south.

1--WE left it to them to select
the proper SITE" he said.
But he told the Senate he was
shocked when he found that the
CHA now was planning an extra
$40 million expenditure on top
of the SAC million authorized for
the original Langley project.
Now, that hits me in the face
as extravagant," he said.
II don't think we need that
much"
Senator Stennis agreed the
CHA has a security problem and
that its new home needs some
special treatment, but again he
raised the question: Where will
it all end?" He said maybe it
might be correct to say that this
new CHA building will be a little
Pentagon."

Butch's attending physician

them for other things.
A skin graft was made last
week on one of Butch's shoul-

to be done, the doctor said, be-
fore work can start on fitting
the boy with artificial limbs.
AS Butch is recuperating from

DC Stock Gifts
biIIIndorsed

Legislation designed to make
it easier for residents of Wash
ington to give stock to minor
children was unanimously in
dorsed by witnesses at a public
hearing today by a House Dis
trict subcommittee.
Subcommittee Chairman Klein,
Democrat of New York, said that
unless objection arose from some
source soon the hearing would
not be resumed.
Principal witness for the bill
was John r. Hare of Scarsdale,
N. Y. secretary of the New York
Stock Exchange.
He told the subcommittee the
legislation was based on a model
bill developed by the New York
Stock Exchange. Already, he
said, legislation based on the
model measure has been enacted
in Is States during the 1855 and
1856 State legislative sessions.
The measure would make it
possible for residents to make
gifts of stock to minor children
without the requirements of
present law here of resorting to
court action for appointment of
a legal guardian.
The measure would make it
possible, the witness said, ito
make an outright gift of stock
to a child by the simple act of
having the securities registered
in the name of an adult as Gus
todian for the child-the Gus
todian being a close relative of
the child or the giver himself"
The measure. 10 pages in
length, was explained by Mr..
Hare as providing protection of
the rights of the minor.
Also supporting the bill was
James Parker Nolan, executive
vice president, treasurer and di-
rector of Folger, Nolan, Fleming
w. B. Hibbs 81 Co. and the
District of Columbia Committee
of the Southeastern Group of the
Investment Bankers Association
of America.
Irving Bryan. assistant COR
poration counsel, said the Dis
trict Commissioners had no for
NAL report to make on the bill
because as yet they had not re-
ceived replies to all the people
from whom they had asked COM
ment. Mr.. Bryan. at the request
of Chairman Klein. said he
would try to get the responses
as soon as possible for the sub
committee. He said the Bar As
ISOLATION had formally favored
the bill which, it also was
learned. had been introduced at
the request of the Bar Associa-
tion.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Wholesome Air Can
Ease Tense Household

The James home is always
crowded, with too many children
lin the small apartment and too
many feelings that never get
aired.
Things are rarely tranquil
there. And then only for a min
ute. Every one knows it's only a
matter Of time until one sharp
word, one angry look, sparks the
tension in the home all over
again.
Not only is it an unhappy
home. it's poor one. Mr..
James salary doesn't stretch
very far. Mrs. James has tried
to supplement it, but now finds
she must have an operation.
Everything to Them
It will mean so much TO her
to know three of her five chill
dren are in camp for part of the
time she must be away.
And it will mean everything
to the children. Twelve-year-
old Judy, 10-year-old Steve and
9-year-old Jane have been To
camp before, and the reports on
them were excellent. Nice-look-
ing, healthy youngsters, they re-
spond to the carefree outdoor
life, unmarried by constant bick-
Iering.
And there is space to move
around. They're not all packed
into one tiny apartment. where
there is no privacy, no chance
to breathe.
Wholesome Air
At camp they'll be able to
stretch out. They won't have to
face the daily depression one
more fight at home brings.
They won't be caught them
selves in endless battles and
determinations. There will be SO
much to do that is interesting

Camp is such a reminder.

.SdIeApproved
In Southwest

The first public hearing of
the Redevelopment Land Agency
involving a transfer of private
property was held today at the
Ambush School. L between Sixth
and Seventh streets S.W.
When no opposition appeared
the agency's board of directors
agreed to the sale of property
at 81 K street S.W. by the ESQ
STANDARD Oil Co. to the Miller
Dudley Co., wholesale auto parts
firm, 1716 Fourteenth street NV.
Because 81 X street S.W. is in
the CT Southwest Redevelop-
ment Project, it was necessary
for the agency to enter the pic
ture.
Must Conform to Plan
The agency wanted to make
sure that the use of the property
as an auto wholesale parts es-
tablishment would conform to
the redevelopment plan, as
adopted by the agency itself. the
National Capital Planning Com
mission and the District Com
lmiSSionerS.
| Under the proposal RIA will
act only as middleman and
acquire the property for $780,
000-the price agreed upon by
the seller and buyer. No public
funds are involved, because RIA
will later turn over a check for
l$l65. 900, received from the Mil
Iler-Dudley firm. to the ESQ
company.
/ Chairman John A. Remon of
RIA. who presided at this morn
ing's session, said that his
agency's board has approved
architectural plans for remodel
ing the property. as conforming
to the redevelopment plan.
$50 Days for Completion
RIA will require that work
must be completed in the 1870
days from the time it is started,
after the firm receives the neces-
Sary permit from District Gov
ernment authorities. The prop
erty is designated for second
commercial use, under the
program.
In another action, the RLA's
Board of Directors approved re-
financing of $50 million in pri-
vate short-term loan notes
These are to run for nine months
The Chase Manhattan National
Bank of New York is handling
the transaction, under which the
interest rate is Ill per cent on
81 million, and 1.72 per cent on
the remaining $3.9 million.

mittee and as chairman of the
Senate Public Works Committee.
he was protesting a growing idea
among Government agency
people to buy more and more
land" outside the District for
new agency headquarters.
Senator Chavez said he wants
to preserve the general basic
plan of the District as the seat
of the Federal Government.
The subject bobbed up yes
terday in the Senate when Sena-
tor Stennis, an Appropriations
Committee member. took the
floor to protest the GAS request
for an additional $40 million for
its Langley home. This would
be in addition to an authorize
ton given by Congress last year
for that site at an estimated
cost of SAG million.
Sees Too Much Spending
1--WE are beginning to wonder
where it will end" he said. I'VE
are spending too much money"
Senator Chavez Public Works
Committee has been sitting on
lease-purchase projects sub
mitted to House and Senate
committees for various projects
under which private contractors
would erect buildings. under
lease, later to be acquired by the
Government.
Senator Chavez yesterday sent
a letter to the General Services
Administration asking it to
supply information as to the
amount of property now vacant
in the District mot including
parks and also the number of
temporary buildings intended to
be RACED soon that might possibly
provide sites in the District for
Federal buildings.
The point of all this. aside
from economy, is that "the Dis
trict of Columbia is supposed to
be the seat of the Federal Gov
ernment," as Senator Chavez
put it.
Points to More Taxes
What 1 want to find out is
why, if property is available
here, there should be another
move to buy land elsewhere" he
said. II wonder if the taxpayers
would like it if they knew that
it would mean more taxes?
There is too much of a push
to get out of town. And they
always want to buy more and
more land"
Senator Chavez spoke Of the
move of the Geological Survey
to go to a suburban site:
They have spotted a beautiful
place." he said. They intend to
go out in the country but !
think that they can do it in the
District. If we can do it here,
why not have it here?"
Even the plan of the Bureau
of Standards to move to a new
location out in Montgomery
County was questioned. They
have a place here" said Senator
Chavez. Maybe the facilities
need improving. but they have
the site. My question is why
buy a new piece of land?'"
$40 Million Shock
Senator Stennis spanked the
questions yesterday. He noted
that last year the Senate Armed
Services Committee, at his urg-
ing, had authorized the con-
of the building for a
new home for the CHA.

bought a second hand dress.
But let the husband tell it
from his own biased viewpoint.
A man in his position gets
invited to, quite a few of the
endless Washington cocktail
parties and doesn't mind
throwing one now and then
himself.
But" he says, "it's the
principle Of the thing.
Friend of ours in the
neighborhood owns one of
those next-to-new shops, the
kind where they get in good
clothing that's been worn
only two or three times.
"Once in a while she brings
home something special, if
she thinks the women around
here might like it. So the
other day she brought home a
suit she thought my wife
might like, and, of course,
my wife did. 1t was SIS, and
that's how it got started.
You're a married man,
too, so you know it didn't
stop there. The next thing
was shoes to 60 with the dress
SASS plus 80 cents tax. And
a purse, $7.95 plus Is cents
tax. And hat, naturally.
Then, she decided she had
one new outfit, and shouldn't
stop there. She spotted these
white shoes - they looked
like Soles with rhinestones at
tached. So she bought those
and said we'd have a cocktail
party so she could wear them.
Nov she's shopping around
for cocktail dress.
And l." he said grimly, lam

special kind of taUor 1 can do
for her friend at the next
to-new shop"
Swim
And, while we're on the
subject of what the we'll
dressed lady will wear, this
one happened at one of the
hotel swimming pools:
A fashion writer and a
fashion cOnsultant dove in
at opposite ends. They came
up suffering face to face
in the center of the pool,
but not too winded to imme-
diately begin a discussion of
the relative merits of one
anOther's bathing caps.
Rebel
A man Just back from the
hospital says his nurse was
telling him about her mother
in-law, and quoted the
mother in-law as follows:
There are only three i'm
portant things in this world
to be born in Richmond, to be
an Episcopalian and to be a
Democrat"
This was by way of intro
ducing her patient to the
story of her mother-in-law'S
search for an automobile. The
mother-in-law had her own
special ideas of what she
wanted in car, and looked
at quite a few in her search.
Finally, a salesman brought
one that seemed to suit her.
This, l think, is just what
I've been looking for" she
said happily. Then she began
to climb inside and noticed
the nameplate.
"Lincoln?" she asked, in
horror. Never! Take it
away!"
Name
Why do they call it Buzz

This apparently was a
shifting of the name from
one point to another when
the original Turkey Buzzard
Point got new name. The

Gated as Turkey Buzzard

An Editorial
We Salute

AS we go to press, the Autherine
Lucy case is rather up in the air.
ReinStated by a federal judge of
Alabama, who has courageouSIy
upheld the Supreme Court and
the Constitution, Miss Lucy has
been expelled as a student "re-
gardless of color" by school Of
ficialS for charging them with
conspiracy and contempt. The
charges were dismissed in court.
The school has stated that it
will not tolerate such charges
"from any student, black or
white"
Whatever the final outcome of
this case concerning Miss Lucy
personally, Negroes have bene-
fitted greatly from her quiet,
dignified and courageous inSis-
tence on her rights as an Amer
ican citizen. She conducted her
self superbly throughout this
irving affair. Though she, her
self, has been expelled, due to
the decision of federal Judge
Hobart Grooms, other Negro STU
dents must be accented by the
University of Alabama.
We proudly and gratefully
salute Miss Autherine Lucy.
