Handicapped Dinner
Due September 18th
CONTINUED from page one)

tcOHLlHu0u from page OHeJ
natioral, state and local officials
have been invited to participate in
this first annual gathering includ-
ing U. S. Senators, John j. Will
Iiams, j. Allen Frear and U. S.
Representative Harry G. Haskell,
5r.
Prime reason for the statewide
meeting according to Mr.. Sears is
to prepare a program for National
Employ the Physically Handicapped
Week from October 6 to IL, to out
line che committees past accom-
plishments aid to plan future ex-
panslon of its year-round program.
Mr. Sears points out that indus
try has been most receptive to en-
ploying trained handicapped work
ers on the committees recommen-
dation, but he believes that once
the entire community thoroughly
understands the program many
more job opportunities will be crea-
ted.
Meanwhile, Mason E. Turner, who
is a member of the President 3
N.E.P.H. Committee and also, serves
on the state level, said that two
awards of merit have been recon-
mended for presentation at the
Sept II affair
The first award will go to Dover
Air Force Base for it's complete
cooperation with the program and
the meritorious certificate will be
accepted by Col. Francis E. Gideon,
commanding officer at the Dover
installation.
| The second merit citation will
go to the States Physically Handi-
capped Man of the Year in the per-
son of Richard W. Lambert, triple
amputee of the Korean conflict who
is now successfully employed at the
DUPONT Chestnut Run Plant. These
are the first awards Of their nature
ever to have been recommended
by the committee.
Mr.. Sears said that while the
luncheon program will be a full
one, every effort will be made to
complete business in a minimum oi
time so that busy industrialists an6
Others may return to their offices
as early as possible.
I'VE confidently hope that this
first annual luncheon will pave the
way for greater support of the
Governors Committee work, and
that we may put across the inl-
rortant message of employing the
physically handicapped to as many
people and organizations as possi-
BILE. We believe that providing such
employment opportunities is good
business, Mr.. Sears declared.

teachers that within the sys-
tenn there is no place or time
to indulge in a discussion of
personalities which tend to
disrupt the entire system.
Turning to educational the

said each teacher should realize
that change is necessary and
that too many of us tend to
teach as we were taught"
ANY philosophy Of educa-
ton must leave room for
change" the superintendent
said.

for the time being.
The placement boards au-
thority to make such assign

lon several legal fronts.
Rules Unconstitutional
In the Norfolk and Newport
News desegregation cases.
Judge Walter Hoffman held
the placement law "unconsti-
tutional on its face" and d.
rected the two cities to proceed
with desegregation.
His ruling subsequently was
upheld by the Fourth Circuit
Court Of Appeals, which said
the placement law was not an
adequate administrative remedy
which students should be re-
quired to follow before demand
ing their constitutional rights.
Enforcement Of the Norfolk and
Newport News decision has
been withheld. however, while
an appeal is carried to the SUI
Dreme Court.
A second test Of the place.
ment law has come from Fair
fax County, where Mrs. Theo
T. DeFebio, a white woman,
refused TO sign placement forms
for her two sons. The boys
were put out OF school last
April, and she has filed suit
before the Virginia Supreme
Court OF Appeals challenging
validity Of the placement law.

that entirely too many chill

ards.
Problem Of Indignation
He added that efforts at in

The
Rambler
~. INDUCES q Few
corny Reflections
By GEORGE KENNEDY

One OF the big advance
ments In eating since the
war has been the improve
ment in the quality Of corn
on sale in the food stores.
For decades, the Rambler
was tirm in his belief that
corn purchased in. stores
was not worth eating.
That has changed.
When it came to corn, he
was spoiled.
For their work in hoeing
the family corn patch, he
and his brothers were al
lowed to peddle the excess
production, dozens of dozens
of ears, and keep the money.
That was In a small town
in Western New York, four
miles from the Lake Erie
shore.
The prices, as he remem-
bers, were 8 cents, IL cents
and is cents a dozen. The
ones for 8 cents were mere
nubbinS.
This was golden bantam
corn, which was then before
World War u new to most
people. The bantam has
since been taken out Of
this variety. Ears now are
almost as large as the white
varieties, Evergreen or Coun-
try Gentleman.

THE HEAT in the field
causes the sugar in the corn
kernel to change to starch
and to absorb the milk, the
essence Of good sweet corn,
Corn natures very quickly
after it is picked.
:. Before writing this piece,
the Rambler checked with
the vegetable buyer of one
of the big food chains.
He said practically all the
corn coming on the market
today has been preceded,
dipped in tanks Of ice water
and shipped with shaved ice
all around it. Gives 1t a
longer store life, he said.
1t does more than that;
it makes it palatable.
He said the corn he is
buying now comes from West
Virginia, Maryland Mont
gomery County,, Pennsyl-
vania and New York State.
1t was John H. King, who
convinced the Rambler that
corn can be good even in
this subtropic cline. John
is 6 feet S, comes from
Oregon, is a trade associa-
ton man (surely that must
be Washington's largest in
dustry) and has a place on
Great Falls road north Of
Falls Church, Va. He has a
half-acre corn patch.
John gave a corn roast
the other night. Five
minutes before eatin' time,
he went down to the corn
patch with a bushel basket
and picked tender ears.
He started to roast them.
There was nothing the
Rambler could do about 1t.
After all he was a guest.
The roasted corn was so
dehydrated ii seemed ruined
by the drought.
And then, mirGbile dictul
A heavy shower started and
the rest of the corn had to
be boiled. 1t was wonderful.
The Rambler had forgotten
how good corn can be. Not
even Western New York corn
could have been better.
Scorning proffered ham,
burgers, the Rambler ate a
dozen ears.

Union in Maryland
Approves Merger
Formal Action
Due tomorrow
By 2 Groups

The merger of the Maryland
d. c. Federation Of Labor and
the Maryland and District of
Columbia Industrial Union
Councils was approved today
at the convention of the Mary
land Industrial Union Council.
Under the agreement, the
incumbent president Of the
Maryland Industrial Union
Council will be the first vice
president, and the incumbent
secretary-treaSurer of the coun-
Gil shall be secretary-treasurer
in the new merged group and
will be elected during the cur
rent convention.
Today's action by the Mary
land convention paves the way
for formal merger of the local
Maryland and District Con-
gress of Industrial Organiza-
tions and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Tomorrow morning both or
CARNATIONS will meet to merge
at the Hotel Statler. The
Maryland and D. c. Industrial
Union Councils are expected to
join with the Maryland State
and D. c. Federation of Labor
in a new unified labor organ
ization.
New Name
The new merged organiza-
ton is to be known as the
Maryland and d. c. AFL-CIO.
It is an outgrowth of the merger
of the American Federation of
Labor and the Congress Of In
dustrial Organizations on a
national scale. 1t will also be
in accordance with the merger
agreement entered into between
the Maryland State and D. c.
Federation of Labor and the
Maryland and D. c. Industrial
Union Councils. The AFL
group met in June and agreed
to merge.
Harry Cohen, veteran Balti-
more labor leader, now Mary
land and District AL presi-
dent, is expected to become the
first president of the new COM
bined labor group. The new
president will receive an annual
salary Of $500. while the new
Secretary-treasurer Of the COM
bined group will receive $1,000
annually.
Officials said that the pro-
posed merger of the District Of
Columbia Industrial Council
tCIO) and the Washington
Central Labor Union tAFL) will
be considered in about three
weeks.
At the outset of today's ses-
sion at the Statler Hotel, Sec
retary- Treasurer James E. Pat
terson announced his with.
drawal from the race in the in
terest of harmony. This fol-
lowed a floor fight yesterday
afternoon over whether new of
f1cers should be elected now or
the present holdovers continue
in the new group.
Current President
The current president of the
Industrial Union
Council is Culver B. Windsor.
Mr.. Patterson took the floor
and told the convention that
he felt it is in the best interests
OF the council and the merged
labor movement that he not be
a candidate for the office of
secretary-treasurer. He said
he wanted the council to 90
into the merger as a harmoni-
Gus group. He also released
delegates pledged to him.
