Mrs. Ezra Lazar doesn't ques-
ton that redevelopment of
Southwest Washington will be
good for the city.
But she profoundly wishes
someone would grease the large
and ow-moving wheels of Gov
eminent. In her own words:
I'VE are like holding onto a
knife edge"
Mrs. Lazar and her husband
ARE half owners of Gordon's
Market, Third and N streets
S.W., which until two years ago
provided them with a comfort
able income even though they
had to work in the store a long
six and a half days a week
to get it
The store is in redevelopment
area &C" and in the last two
years it has turned, through the
circumstances of the redevelop-
ment process, into a financial
weight around the owners necks.
Mrs. Lazar says that if the
Government doesn't buy them
out pretty soon. it will drag
them under.
Somewhat Typical
The problems of Gordon's
Market are not unique in South
west, but serve rather as an ex-
ample of what is happening in
some degree in many small,
Ineighborhood supported stores
near RACED areas.
According to James G. Banks,
chief of Relocation and Manage
ment Division of RIA, Gordon's
is the only one he knows of that
is adjacent to a RACED area and
not on a main thoroughfare
where neighborhood clientele may
have a cushion of transient trade.
The Lazars came to the District
IL years ago from Montreal.
In Washington, they found the
grocery for sale and brought
Mrs. Lazar's sister and her hus-
band, Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Hol-
stien, down here to go into part
lnership with them.
One Mortgage Paid
Over the years the store had
Iprospered. The partners were

Cathedral Bomb Action
Against Youth Pondered

Juvenile authorities today
pondered charges against a IT.
year-old st. Adams graduate who
has admitted setting a time
bomb in Washington Cathedral
The bomb blasted out an un-
scored note during a concert the
night of June 3, injured no one
and caused no damage.
A conference this morning de-
cided that misdemeanor charges
could be fled and left the pro-
lcedure up to juvenile author
Titles. Those attending the parley
were Assistant Corporation Coun-
lcil Albert s. Povich; John j.
Larkin, director of social work
with Juvenile Court, and Sergt.
William c. Rasmussen of the po-
lice Juvenile squad.
Says It Was Prank
Almost Immediately after the
bomb blast. police began work
on the theory that it was the
work of a prankster-which the
youth has admitted he was.
According OF Deputy Chief Ed
gar E. Sect, the youth, accom-
panied by his parents, came to
9Th precinct headquarters last
night after detectives had visited
his home earlier in the day.
The boy, who has been released
in custody of his parents pend
j ing further investigation, said he
took very particular pains" tc
place the bomb where it would
not hurt anyone.
A makeshift device, employing
an alarm clock as a timer, went

The
Rambler
A Good Deed
And d Bod One
By JACK JONAS

This is a story of contrasts.
1t may be that incidents
like these help strike the bal
ance that makes the city
what it is, but the second Of
the pair ought not to happen
In any town
Both of them-the incident
of the injured bird and the
one of the boy and his dog
happened within a few blocks
of one another in a Northeast
neighborhood during the
week end.
Neither, by any stretch of
the imagination, can be
classed as an important news
story. They are important
only to the people to whom
they happened, making some
feel good and the others feel
bad.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Bill Has to Forget
Longing for Country

Ten-year-old Bill wanted to
spend this summer in the coun-
try. Instead, he has to stay in
town.
One reason Bill wanted to go
was that he was afraid of gang
that had threatened him-one
of those that stops little boys on
the street to see if they have any
money.
His 53-year-old aunt, with
whom he lives, goes out with him
on his paper route to help and
protect him, despite the fact that
she is suffering from a heart all
Iment.
Bill has lived with his aunt
since he was 2 or 3 years old.
His mother can't take care of
him. She is domestic who
lives out in the country and
works some distance away from
her home. She has to take one
of her two other children with
her to sit in the kitchen and
wait while she works.
Little Income
Besides her nephew, Bills aunt
takes care of a 4-year-old boy,
whose mother is supposed to pay
$40 a week for his keep. That
money, when it comes, and the
$66-a-month pension granted
her World War veteran husband,
also a cardiac victim, makes up
her income.
But she is the kind of woman
who forgets herself to do for
others.
Bill isn't going to the country
because there would be no one
to look after him there in the
first place, and because his aunt
wanted him to go to summer
school.
Bill is well-mannered boy
and one who doesn't want any
trouble. The nurse who visits
his mother thinks It would help
Bill to have something to look
forward to this summer when
he can't get out Of town.
Camp Could Help
A trip to summer camp would
help to assuage his disappoint-
ment and give his aunt the sat-
isfaction Of knowing he was well

Workmens Benefit Bills
For D. c. Stir House Fight
Labor Group
Seeks Increase
To $54 q Week

A jurisdictional fight flared
before the House Rules Commit
tee today on conflicting bills
fixing maximum workmens COM
Ipensation rates for employees in
the District.
The issue arose when Repre-
sentative Bailey. Democat Of
West Virginia, speaking for the
House Labor Committee, asked
the Rules Committee to clear for
House action a bill that would
increase to $54 the present $35
maximum weekly level. Al
though the bill would apply
mainly to longshoremen nation
ally, the proposed boost would
affect thousands of other work.
ers in the District because this
community is tied into the leg
iSlation.
Representative Mcmillan,
Democrat of South Carolina,
chairman of the District Com
mittee, protested that his group
several weeks ago approved a bill
that would take the District out
Of the national legislation. He
explained that the measure was
urged by the Washington Board
of Trade and would provide a
separate District bureau of
workmen's compensation to de-
termine whether the existing $35
maximum here is in line with
rates paid in States in this Sec
ton of the country.
Hopes to Avoid Clash
Mr.. Mcmillan declared that
the House Democratic leadership
thus far has refused to bring
up the District Committee bill
for floor action. He added that,
as committee chairman, he could
call it up in the House but hoped
to avoid clash with Democratic
Majority Leader Mccormack.
Rules Committee Chairman
Smith. Democrat of Virginia,
agreed with Mr.. McMillan's posi-
ton. He told Mr.. Bailey that
jurisdiction in this matter, so
far as the District was con-
icerned. belonged to the District
Committee.
i He noted that the maximum
1workmen's compensation levels
for workers in general in Vir-
ginia and Maryland ranged be-
Tween SIS and $50 q week. This,
he observed, is below the present
1915 maximum for the District
and far below the proposed $54
maximum provided in the Labor
Committees bill.
Under Law Since 1928
Mr.. Bailey recalled that the
District has been included in
the national legislation since
1923. Mr.. Mcmillan replied that
he and his committee had no
wish to interfere with the Labor
Committees move to increase the
levels for longshoremen and vari-
Gus other specified workers
Throughout the country.
But it is a little difficult to
understand why the District
should not have its own work.
mems compensation establish
ment," Mr.. Mcmillan con-
tinued. "At present the District
rates are higher than those of
I Virginia and Maryland. The bill
reported out by the District
Committee would merely take
the District out Of the national
bill and set UP a workmen's COM
pensation bureau for the Dis
trict as in every State so that
the District would not get too far
out of line with other States"
4 The Rules Committee indi-
Gated that it would vote later
today on whether to clear the
Labor Committees bill for House
consideration.

ON RHODE ISLAND avenue
NE, a busy street even in the
heat of the Saturday after
noon sun, a mother robin was
teaching her brood to fly.
They were swooping low over
the moving traffic near
Fourth street.
They were getting along
fairly well in their lesson UNI
til one fledgling, still unaccus-
toned to the complex me-
chanics of flight, dropped
suddenly against the fender
of one of the autos, and fell
to the street.
The young bird lay there,
struggling to rise, but couldn't
make it.
The next car in the line Of
traffic squeaked to a stop a
short distance away, and the
driver sat there, fearful to
move lest he run over the
bird.
The traffic began to pile up
behind the first car until it
stretched back a block. De-
spite the heat, nobody seemed
particularly disturbed. The
motorist holding up the line
refused to move until the
unknown hero of the piece
stepped from the curb and
rescued the injured robin.
ITS an indication that in
spite of the stories to the
contrary" the lady who saw
1t said, people are kind.

THE TYPE OF story ito the
contrary" that the lady was
talking about-the one that
gives balance to the tale
happened at Second and T
streets NE, opposite McKin-
ley High School, just a few
blocks away.
1t was during one of those
thunderstorms on Friday eve
ming about 1880 o'clock, when
the clouds and rain make it
seem later than it is. A boy
about 8 years old was pushing
his way against the driving
rain with his umbrella up to
fend it of. His dog trotted
along at his heels.
The dog, a brown and white
fox terrier-mostly fox ter
rier, anyway-darted sudden
ly into T street. A cab hurry
ing down T street swerved too
late, and the dog was struck.
The pup yelped in pain and
the boy screamed. The boy
folded his umbrella, laid it
against a school zone sign,
and ran into the street to at
tend his injured pet.
AS he carried the dog to-
ward the sidewalk, a truck
came to a stop beside the
school zone sign. The truck
driver got out, looked around
stealthily to see if anybody
was watching, and picked up
the umbrella.
A lady who saw it tried to
stop the truck by shouting at
the driver as he grabbed the
boys umbrella. But he leaped
back into his truck and drove
rapidly away.
The rain was coming down
so hard the lady was unable
to see the trucks license
number, although she tried.
That drivers my nomina-
tion," she said, "for the
Meanest Thief of the Year"
The boy might get a new
umbrella, anyway, if the peo-
pie who stopped for the in
jured bird found out about
it, and could find him.
