chure submitted to the council
yesterday by DR.. Muncy.
The 20 sites comprise q total
land area Of $500 to $500
acres. Among the locations is
q l,000-acre tract north of the
Atomic Energy Commission
headquarters near German
town and west of the WASH
ington National pike (U. s.

She indicated that with proper

DR.. Muncy recommended
against public acquisition Of
land in advance Of industrial
development, but warned that
this might be necessary in two

Sixteen of the 20 recon-
mended sites border on the

FACING THE FACTS
w. A. Robinson

Now our nation is engaged in
a great deliberation, testing
whether that freedom, granted
through kindness and cemented
by war and conflagration, shall
endure inviolate. We are met at
the site Of the first phase Of
that now classic litigation. We
have come to honor the memory
of those who set it in motion,
to commemorate the centennial
Of it's classic end. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we
should do this.
But in a larger sense, we can
consecrate, we can dedicate our
selves to the maintenance OF
that liberty now secure. We may
earnestly pray that, God will
ing, our children here present,
and our children's children may
see as great an advance in the
next fourscore and fourteen
years as we have seen in the
past. We should set ourselves to
the task of helping to architect
the future-to dispelling the fall
lacious beliefs held by some, that
freedom belongs to a selected
few. Let us polish that corner
stone in the foundation of our
governments structure, the De-
claration of independence, in
order that these words may
shine anew. 1--WE hold these
truths to be Self-evident, that
all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Crea-
tor with certain inalienable
rights, that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit OF happl-
ness" Let us earnestly strive
through the common father
hood of God, and the worldwide
brotherhood of man to maintain
these cherished preceptS upon
which the very existence of this
nation is based, safe, secure and
inviOlate.
May our children long remem-
Der what we say here as the
world has never forgotten what
they did here.

In MEMORY OF A SLAVE
BY Howard B. Woods
A small group of citizens gath
cred Wednesday morning in Cal
vary cemetery and later that
afternoon at the old Court House
to pay tribute to the memory
of a man enslaved more than
century ago and whose fight for
freedom echoed around the
world. They were descendants
and contemporary adherents OF
Dred Scott, whose flight from
human bondage and his sub
seduent legal battle to retain
that freedom came to a focal
point in st. Louis 100 years ago
on Wednesday.
The descendants of Dred Scott
are just plain every day citizens
of st. Louis, Chicago and Michl-
gan. One is a police officer in
that northern state. One a for
mer secretary in the office OF
the Metropolitan Church Fed
Grafton and now an assistant in
the Chaplain's office at Homer
Phillips, typifies the kind OF
routine livelihood the persons
who bear the great name in
their lineage have pursued.
At the Old Court House, where
owners once marketed their
slaves and the old auction block
still stands to remind us of the
shameful era, the ceremony
reached it's climax. In the same
room where the decision was
handed down that a. Negro had
no rights that a white man IS
bound to respect, and where
later a Negro Crank S. Bledsoe)

shared in the touching drama
of progress in few generations.
Speaking for the family was
John A. Madison, Sr., great
grandson of the slave of whom
records list as having died OF
"lung fever" in a home near
where the Public Library now
stands. Young Madison using as
a basis for his remarks, Lincoln's
immortal Gettysburg address,
had this to say:
Fivescore and eleven years
ago our fathers began in this
room a litigation conveived in
liberty and dedicated to the pro-
position that all men should be
free.
