Collection Of Separate Facilities
Proposed For Cultural Center Here

In the absence Of a specific
site. the District Auditorium
Commission said today it was un-
able to present a firm architec-
tural design and arrangement for
all the facilities in its proposed
huge cultural center.
Instead, the commission pro-
posed a collection of separate
facilities which will adapt them
selves" to any of the three sites
the commission finds suitable. >
In addition. the commission
said the facilities, aimed at the
dual purpose of housing stately
Federal functions and presenting
the musical arts, will be of monu-
mental size in accord with the
setting of other Capital buildings
Generally, however, the center
will have a formal entrance. ;
highlighted by a court OF
States" in which there would be
a fountain surrounded by the fiae
Of each of the 48 States.
Other Structures Studied
The facilities themselves were
designed after extensive studies
OF similar structures throughout
the world, with various seating
capacities based largely upon
estimates of the annual use an
ticipated for each.
Following are the major com.
ponentS proposed:
Great Hall-This huge hall
with 100000 square feet of "un.
obstructed floor space" woulc
be the dominant" facility of the
center. Its use could vary from
the quadrennial Inaugural Bal
to commercial conventions, anc
could be used for Federal event.

avenues elevated tracks. while at
its northwest corner the noise
of the same trains is somewhat
muffled by the open cut of Mary

SO Pct. of Area Taxable
Southwest (west)-A rectan-
gular area bounded by Ninth
street on the east, Twelfth street
on the west, D street on the
north and the Southwest ex-
pressway on the south.
It's total area, with streets
closed, would be 1872 acres, the
minimum desirable for the CEN
ter, the commission said. About
SO per cent of the area is taxable,
and its assessed value is $50
million.
This site. not discussed previ-
ously by the commission in public
discussions. overlaps a portion
OF the other Southwest site.
One possible problem in this
site is that it might require
drastic changes in the traffic
pattern developed in the South
west. Present plans, for example,
call for improvement of Eleventh
street S.W.-cutting through the
possible auditorium site-as a
major connection with the South
west freeWay. Another problem
is that the site Straddles Tenth
street. proposed as a continuous
mall in the redevelopment plan.

officials said they intend to dis

ment firm which drew the South

Knapp officials said they par
ticularly want to study the "size
of the center's facilities" in re-
lation to the redevelopment
plans.
! The Auditorium Commission
said this site has "esthetic adj
vantages" in vistas which look
toward the Capitol, Jefferson
Memorial. the Tidal Basin, the
Smithsonian Institution and
East Potomac Park.
These are somewhat Offset"

which the site would border
along Twelfth street. This yard
has the virtue, however. of con-
tanning only low buildings and
thus keeping open the full west

points on the site"

The
Rambler
Kindness Killed
This Indian Chief
BY JACK JONAS

Well, who was Pushmataha?
That question, in our piece
here some days back about
monuments to the unknown,
intrigued most readers.
Nearly all who wrote knew
that John Henry was the
famed physicist and first sec
rotary of the Smithsonian In
Stitution. Some knew that
Andrew Jackson Downing was
the landscape architect who
designed the Smithsonian
grounds, that Samuel c. r.
Hahnemann was the founder
of homeopathic medicine, that
John Witherspoon was a signer
of the Declaration of indie
pendence, and that Maj.
Archibald Butt and Francis D.
Millet were heroes of the tt
tanic disaster.
Only the Rev. James A.
Geary responded that Push
mataha was the Choctaw
Chief who allied his LOO
braves with the tiedgling
United States against the
British during the War of 1912.
Pushmataha, called by his
brothers warrior, hunter, eagle,
maneater and ball player, and
by his white friends Indian
general, is the only Indian
chief buried in the District
with honors befitting a chief
of state.
Civilization felled the mighty
chief.

One Street at a Time
Transit and city officials have
been at odds over a proposal to
give buses exclusive use of GER

Keneipp yesterday outlined a
number of criteria which he said
should govern any trial of the
proposal. Among other things,
the traffic director said a trial
Ought to be limited to one street

Should furnish certain detailed

answer from the American Au-
tomobile Association. He had
suggested banning automobiles

HE HAD COME to Washing
ton to press an Indian claim.
When he arrived, respect for
him was high because of his
battles against the Creeks,
who had allied themselves
with the British.
Washin g tonians soon
learned that another title
orator-would be appropriate
for the old chief. He spoke
to Secretary of War John c..
Calhoun about his tribes
claim for more than 81 million
from the Government.
Father, when in my own
country I often looked toward
this council house and wanted
to come here" he said. Il
am in trouble. I will tell my
distreSses. I feel like a small
child, not half as high as its
father, who comes up to look
in his fathers face. hanging
in the bend of his arm, to tell
him his troubles. So, father,
l hang in the bend of your
arm and look up in your face,
and now hear me speak"
Pushmataha was wined and
dined almost constantly dur
ing his stay in Washington.
He often was a guest at the
White House. Other public
officials sought his presence
at their dinner tables.
One with whom he often
ate was Senator Andrew Jack
son, the general with whom
he had fought in the Creek
War.
Champagne, big dinners and
flrewater took their toll on
his vigor. On December %,
1924, he visited the French
Gen. Lafayette. then a guest
of the United States.
I'VE heard your name in our
distant wigwams," he told the
general. Il longed to see one
who had come a long way to
assist our friends of the white
race when they were a small
people. I have seen and
shaken your hand. This is
our last meeting on earth. We
shall see each other no more
till We meet in the happy
hunting ground"

BY MIDNIGHT, Pushma-
taha was dead, an orator to
the end. His last words:
when I am gone, let the big
guns be fired over me-"
When he was buried, guns
on Capitol Hill were fired in
salute, and another salute
was fired at the grave in Con-
gressional Cemetery.
His funeral procession was
a mile long, complete with
carriages of notables, bands,
cavalry units and foot soldiers.
Thousands lined the streets as
the procession passed.

nual gift of hearing aid.
Robert Ford, Is, a student at
George Washington Carver High
School, and who lives with his
mother, Mrs. Reatha Lee Ford at

Young Robert Ford had the
pleasure of selecting the hearing

There is lack of reputation for
the South just as there is lack
of reputation of this nation
abroad. Patiently there are many
nations which lack confidence in
our democracy just as this nation
lacks confidence in the South's
protestation of justice and fair
ness.
Then, too, the only hope that
the South'S way of life will not
admit of a change that will mean
full citizenship for the Negro is
in the proposed filibuster. The
filibuster is the last refuge of the.
Negrphobes and what a spacious
refuge it will prove to be.
When resort to the filibuster is
forced upon them the anti-Negro
forces of this South ought to know
that they have lost their war
against the Negro. When an ar
gument must be predicted upon a
technicality it is weak to the
breaking point.
So the South's stand against the
Negro is nearing a breaking point
when resort must be found in the
filibuster. The resort to the fill
buster and the voting down of the
trial by jury amendment are just
so many straws in the wind show
ing that the old south is truggling
hard against the tide that must
overwhelm it at last.
God and Time and Right are
against the anti-Negro traditions
and mores of the Old S GU h.
There is a hard core of the new
white South that see this clearly
and are heroically trying to save
the Old South the pains of a die
hard opposition to a change that
must come, if its reputation and
that of our great nation are to be
saved.
The South is not only kicking,
but also running its reputation.

RUNNING A REPUT ALTON

In my early boyhood I knew
man who faithfully attended Sun
day School to "argue" the scrip
lures. He argued on every point
where argument could catch a
toe-hold. There are people like
that who specialize in asking hard
and knotty questions.
Very often they are habitues of
barber shops and take pride in
asking "wise" questions to puzzle
tho.e they think are educated and
should know. And it is so easy to
ask even an educated person a
question he does not knowi Re-
Gently one of those arguers bump
ed into the writer with old hack
neyed question as to whether a
man could have his candy and
eat it too.
Much to his surprise l answered
in the affirmative to the effect
that a man could eat his candy
and have it too; because when he
eats it he has it where it be-
longs and will do the most good.
In-tead of just having some can
dy to look at and think about,
when he eats it, it is put to its
highest utility and builds strength
and energy and of cource his are
the strength and the energy,
therefore he has his candy after
he has eaten it.
But while it is possible to eat
ones candy and have it too, it is
not possible to destroy ones
reputation and have it too. 1t is
well that this be borne in mind
by the representatives of the Old
South who are currently holding
forth in the Congress of the United
States.
The course that the civil rights
bill is running proves without
a reasonable doubt that the jus
tice and integrity of the South is
in serious question. The very fact
that the South wanted to insert
a trial by jury amendment shows
that they would take refuge in
their way of life in prejudiced
jury that would acquit, prejudiced
servant of the law.
The trial by jury drive was a
resort to prejudice to carry points
indirectly that they could not
carry directly! These Southern
anti-Negro cohorts in Congress by
their very attempts were making
questionable the reputation Oh
the South.
The very fact that the trial by
Jury was voted out proves that
the South's reputation is not saw
ory. In other words the South can
not be trusted to do honestly and
juntly in matters of race relations
The Southis long history OF
treating might as right in its deal
ings with Negroes is too well
known to be conducive to full
confidence.
Neroes had to resort to law to
gain mott of their civil rights and
prerogatives they currently enjoy
and now the Negrophobes would
intimidate the laws by prescribing
them after such fashion that their
preiudices rather than the ends
of Justice may be served.
The very fact that the trial by
Jury amendment was voted DO On
shows that the Congress OF the
United States lacks confidence in
the South's proteStations of fair
ness and justice towards its Ne
gro citizens.
