Itricts in yesterdays voting
There were only 10 contests
throughout the State. however
including the one In Fairfax.
The purpose of the sconven-
ton is to amend Section l4l OF
the State constitution so tuition
grants may be paid from public
funds for children to attend nom
Isectarian private schools. That
section now prohibits use OF
public money for private educa-
ton.
Amendment of Section l4l is
the first step In Virginia's Gray

in public schools. Other features
of the plan-legislation provid-
ing for tuition grants and pupil
assignment arrangements - are
supposed to be enacted by the
General Assembly after the con-
Istitution has been amended
accordingly.

A THEORY soon advanced
was that the ow-Nothing
Party, then growing in
strength here, had a hand in
the dirty work. Those hold
ing to this belief pointed out
that a meeting place for one
of the party's lodges was at
Thirteen-and-one-h and E
streets, not far from the scene.
The Know-Nothings a year
later seized the Monument
Society's records, claiming
their group was sponsor of the
memorial. A short time after
wards the records were re-
turned voluntarily.
Serious work on the Monu-
ment was not begun again I'M
til 1880.
The names Of the vandals
were never made public, but
there is evidence that they
were known privately. The
Star, when the Monument was
dedicated in 1885, recalled the
incident, and said:
Some of those thought to
have been in on the job soon
afterward turned out badly.
Five of them we're arrested
for a crime which sent all but
one, who jumped his bail, to
the penitentiary. The reputed
leader was said to have gone
to Texas and to have assumed
another name, under which he
served as a field officer in one
of Sherman's regiments dur
ing the war. Another died in
prison, and 1t is now thought
that but one survivor Of the
depredating party who sur
wives lives in the District"

The Washington National
Monument Society offered 500
reward for the yandals, but a
recommendation by the Board
of Aldermen that the city also
offer a reward was turned
down by Washington's Com
mon Council. A grand jury
unsuccessfully investigated
the incident.
Investigators learned later
that the Monument Society

yet to foresee whether she will
make any changes. But one to
which she can look forward is
the construction of a new an
mex to the Home to house so
girl residents. The new build
ing will serve as a dormitory
and the old one will be used
only for administrative offices.
Having more space will not
necessarily mean increasing
the Homes number of tenants,
Mrs. Conner emphasized. I'VE
want this to stay a small in
stitution."
Fifty per cent of the girls
at the home are from Wash
ington and the surrounding
area, Mrs. Conner said. Point
ing out that she thinks it "a
mistake to type the unmar-
ried mother" the new di-
rector stressed the fact that
the Homes residents come
from every strata of society,
from every background, cul-
tural and intellectual" They
range in age from IS to 40
years. Some are college grad
yates with professional back
ground. Some are young girls
with no more than an eighth
grade education.
A New Life
While society has more I'M
derstanding of the unmarried
mother, it still does not con-
done or help the girl who
wants to keep her baby, Mrs.
Conner pointed out. so, we
here at the Home recognize
she has a difficult time re-
facilitating herself if she
keeps the child, and that the
child has a more difficult
time growing to maturity"
Our whole objective here
is to give a program that will
be most helpful to the girls in
giving them a better UNDER
standing of themselves so
they'll have a good chance Of
making a nice adjustment in
the community" Mrs. Conner
stressed.
The Homes staff includes
psychologists for vocational
guidance and a consulting
psychiatrist. Every effort is
made to make constructive
use Of the girls time, teach
ing them arts and skills which
will be useful for future jobs,
building up their health and
learning how to be good citi-
zens by their participation in
a self-governing council.
Thus, when they leave the

ginning to live new lives.

ON THE NIXON CAM
PAIGN TOUR, Sept. 24.-For
Pat Nixon, a seasoned CAM
paigner, q l5,0O0-mile air
jaunt in a drive for President
Eisenhower's reelection is
just something fine.
II love it," said the Vice
Presidents slim, attractive
wife. II love meeting people. |"
And on this 16-day swing
into 80 States Mrs. Nixon is
proving, as she has in the
past, that she is an effective
campaigner. Wherever the
Vice President appears. there
is a cry, where's Pat?"
Pat is right there, too. She
hasn't missed an appearance
yet and she doesn't intend to.
BY now Mrs. Nixon knows
that invariably there will be
one question confronting her.
At every stop she viii be asked
many times over:
Household Help?
"How do you manage. with
all you've got to do, to run
your house without any help?"
The question is not confined
to those who come out to see
the Vice President and Mrs.
Nixon. One newspaperman in
the Nixon party confided to
Mrs. Nixon that he had been
commissioned by his wife to
ask the same question.
Flying high over the Colo
RADIO mountains in the rear
compartment of the chartered
four engine airliner, Mrs.
Nixon answered the question:
II really enjoy my home. I
just love doing what has to be
DONE"
Except for a cleaning man
who comes in occasionally to
do the heavy work. Mrs. Nixon
said she does it all. including
the ironing. II get UP early
and stay up late" she said.
AS much as she enjoys her
home, Mrs. Nixon wouldn't
miss a campaign trip like this
one.
Since 1916 when the Vice
President was elected to the
House, Dick and / have been
campaigning together. We're
a team, It's hard work but
it's fascinating"

This swing, touching a city
in each of 80 States, has many
long hops. Mrs. Nixon spends

Is the unmarried mother
who seeks the aid of an in
stitution designed to help her
usually a delinquent type?
mo, it's usually a shy girl,
unsure of herself in a new
environment without the know
how to make the right social
contacts, a girl whom social
workers too frequently find
hasn't grown up emotionally,"
says Mrs. Leora L. Conner,
new director of the Florence
Crittenton Home and Hospital.
"The delinquent girl wouldn't
come here to the Home" says
this kind-faced mother of two
teenagers, recently arrived
from Memphis, Tenn. with rs
years experience to her credit
in family service work.
She Is A Rebel
The delinquent girl, she ex-
planned, lis getting so much
satisfaction out of rebelling
and acting against society, she
doesn't want to change her
way of living"
The type of girl who seeks
the aid Of the Crittenton
Home, on the other hand,
wishes to give herself another
chance to begin all over again
and take her place in society,
according to Mrs. Conner.
Mrs. Conner is five-feet-five,
wears her curly grey hair in
an attractive short couture
and has a warm smile that
inspires confidence the minute
you meet her. She was born in
Minnesota and got her school,
ing in Chicago. but she mar
ried Southerner and settled
in Memphis-hence, her soft
Southern accent.
She is a widow and has a 16-
year old daughter, Betty Ann,
now attending st. Mary's
School in Sewanee, Tenn, and
q 19-year old son, Robert, a
private in the Marine Corps,
stationed at Camp Lejeune.
This is Mrs. Corners first
job as director of an institu-
ton. In Memphis, where she
was executive director of the
Family Service Agency, she or
ganized a day nursery for
Negro working mothers, SUI
pervised a homemaker pro-
gram and made social studies
for children's institutions, one
of them home for boys.
Public Education
Mrs. Conner thinks the pub
lie today has a much better
understanding of the problem
OF the unmarried mother than
1t did Is years ago. as proven
by increased public fund grants
for this work.
Twenty-Five per cent of the
Florence Crittenton Home and
Hospitals income come from
the United Givers Fund. The
remainder is financed through
the efforts of the Homes
board of governors.
Mrs. Conner, who succeeds
Mrs. Alma Larue, said the
Board has delegated to her
full responsibility for the
Homes administration. The
Board will work as a team"
with her and the staff in shap-
ing policies and getting sup
port for the work they would
like to have done, she further
explained.
Mrs. Conner said she has
been here for too short a time
