Adventures In Autos
By MEREDITH S. BUEL

three times without konking out" re-
calls H. Burton Leary. jr., charter
member of the Automobile Old Timers
Club. One Hyattsville auto manu-
facturer'S sales pitch was: This car
is sold with two engines in case one
breaks down.
Where did families drive on Sunday?
Many of us would visit battlefields
at Gettysburg or around Manassas"
Mr.. Leary says. "Or maybe picnic
along some country lane. But, mainly.
the idea was to get in and go-and
pray you could get back!
1T was a dare to drive in those
days. There were no gas stations as
we know them today
"One Sunday night, when was
coming back from visiting girl in
Frederick. the acetylene gas head
bought lantern from a farmer, hung
it on my radiator cap and drove
through mud all the way home at
miles an hour"
Frank G. Stewart, founder and first
president of the Automobile Old
Timers Club. recalls the Sunday
sociability runs for women drivers.
Much more adventuresome than a
Sunday afternoon tea party" he says.
The wives would drive through Rock
Creek Park, the husbands sitting on
the edge of their seats, praying they
wouldn't hit a tree!"
Mr.. Stewart remembers one of the
driving highlightS was endurance runs
between different car makes. Observ-
ers would ride along to chalk up
dement's when an auto broke down.
One of our runs was from
Washington to Richmond" he says.

DEMEMBER THOSE Sunday drives
III in the "horseleSs carriage2"

EMEMBER THOSE Sunday drives
IL in the "horseless carriage?"
Adventure. Bumps. Blowouts. These
three words summed up this exciting
era in the early 1905.
Everyone with car looked forward
to Sunday. Pa was sporty in his
buster worn to keep his suit clean).
cap and goggles. He'd pun as he
cranked then the familiar shotgun
blast as the engine started. The open
car would shake like jelly when Pa
put heavy foot on the running
board while piling into the right-side
drivers seat Ma would straighten
her big hat and pull down her veil
to keep the dust out of her eyes. And
down that narrow bumpy road they'd
go, the four wheel pride and Joy
sounding like threshing machine!
We smile at such recollections now.
Especially as we view the ultra plush,
extra long and low cars now on display
in the National Guard Armory, scene
of the 1857 Washington Automobile
Show. Today, driving those stream
lined speedSterS on super highways,
New York is but few hours away.
1t used to be days outing to drive
to Great Falls and back.
Let's take spin down memory lane
with some of Washington's automotive
pioneers when the Sunday cry was.
Get a horse!" Then most anything
north of Florida avenue was open
country. The hour speed
limit was enforced by bicycle cops.
And a District motorist also had to
have a Maryland license tag to drive
into the Free State.
1T was considered almost a miracle
to be able to drive around the block

House Passes Bill
To Allow Church
To Borrow Funds

A House-approved bill to allow
st. Dominic's Roman Catholic
Church to borrow sufficient
money to replace its properties
taken over by the Southwest
redevolpment project was sent
to the Senate this afternoon.
The measure, by Representa-
tive Forand. Democrat Of Rhode
Island, passed the House yes
terday by voice vote.
The measure would amend
the charter of st. Thomas Lit
erary Society to remove the
$500.000 limitation on the value
Of property it may hold.
The society is the corporate
name and holder of property
owned by st. Dominic's Church,
its school and parsonage.
The property. at Sixth and
F streets S.W., has been con-
demned by the redevelopment
project.
The House District Commit
tee declared the maximum linz
itation would be eliminated
from the charter "in order that
the society may borrow suf-
flcient money to erect new
schools (primary and high as
well as a parsonage. to replace
those being taken by the re-
development project"
Unless the limitation is re-
moved. the committee reported
to the House, the title COM
pany could not pass the title
for the security Of loans needed
for new construction.

The latest conference report,

branch to yield on one point.
Under the proposed revi-

would be built on East Capitol

Flu Diagnosis
|sSpeeded Up
Tests in 48 Hours
Made by NH Teom

National Institutes of Health
researchers today announced
they have developed a new
method for rapid laboratory
diagnosis of influenza. includ-
ing the new strain Of AsiatiC
flu.
Investigators John Vogel ano
Alexis Shelokov said prelimi-
nary trials of the test have
been completed in as little time
as 48 hours-two to three
times faster, in many cases,
than the method generally used
to detect flu virus in a patient
Medical authorities said the
new method could help greatly
in the effort now going on to
spot the first outbreaks of Ash
attic flu. which Is expected tc
strike the Nation in force this
fall or winter.
| Surgeon Gen. Leroy E
Burney estimated that be-
tween Is and 26 million Amer
beans might be stricken by the
fast-acting virus even if a
newly developed vaccine is
used.
Suspected Cases Here
Some $4,000 cases have been
reported in the United States
since the disease struck thous-
ands in the Far East last
spring. None have been re-
ported in the Washington area,
though several suspected"
cases have been reported here.
The new diagnostic flu test
makes use of the known fact
that certain viruses cause red
blood corpuscles to cling to-
lgether-a process known as
| hemagglutination.
The customary method OF
identifying influenza viruses
employees fertile chicken eggs,
which are inoculated with speci-
men virus cultures from a pa
tents throat. This fluid is
then tested for the virus by
mixing it with red blood cells
from chickens or guinea pigs
If the blood cells cling together
properly. the test is positive
The new method bypasses the
use of eggs, thus speeding ur
the process. and apears to be
somewhat more sensitive. ac-
cording to the researchers.
Data Double Checked
The scientists said the results
Of the tests come from "early
data" and cannot be considered
as completely conclusive. He-
search is continuing in the re-
suits obtained by the new test.
The announcement Of the new
test came in the face of grow
ing numbers of requests by
Washington area physicians for
| facilities to check patients who
may have the Asiatic flu.
Surgeon General Burney said
yesterday the National Insti-
tutes Of Health could supply
some Of the physicians needs.
He said 1t has one of AZ Gov
ernment laboratories in the
Nation equipped to handle The
diagnostic tests.
About so million doses OF
vaccine are expected to be
available by February l. PliS

On Home Rule
'Adumunt' Stands
Block Bill Now,
Senator Asserts

The "adamant" stand Of the
chairman and a member Of the
Senate District Committee has
made it impossible to enact any
form Of home rule legislation
for Washington at this session
of Congress. according to Sen
ator Clark. Democrat Of Penn.
Sylvania.
In view Of the apparent dead
lock he suggested the creation
of a Home Rule Charter Com
mission.
Senator Clark, head of the
subcommittee that held a series
of public hearings on home
rule legislation. expressed dis
appointment at the develop
ments.
while personally I believe
strongly in a home rule bill
calling for an elected Mayor, y
Senator Clark said, II was will
ing to subordinate my own
views to those Of the District
Commissioners and the various
civic groups working for home
rule.
Half q Loaf"
"These people felt that the
half q loaf administration
home rule bill was the only
measure which had a chance
of getting through the other
body"
He was referring to the plan
for a territorial form of gov
ernment here with the Mayor
appointed by the President.
ION the other hand" Sena-
tor Clark continued. "our
chairman, Senator Neely, Dem
ocrat of West Virginia, and
Senator Morse. Democrat Of
Oregon. we're adamant in their
opposition to the administra-
ton bill.
Because of their stand and
pressure of other business it
has been impossible to bring
the matter to a head within
tn Senate Committee before
adjournment.
Wait Till Next Year
II hope some action can be
taken early next year to bring
a home-rule measure to a vote
on the floor Of the Senate. ]
further hope that the Senate
bill will be one which has at
least some chance Of success
in the other body" u
Legislation for local self
government has run into con-
siderable opposition in the
House. particularly among the
Southern members, who fear
the possible consequences nf a
growing percentage of Negro
population here. After sug-
gesting the creation Of a
charter commission to study
the problem, Senator Clark
added:
while a bill for a charter
commission might take a num-
ber of different forms. its es-
sence is that a commission
of leading citizens recruited
from all elements in the COM
munity drafts a charter which
is submitted to the voters for
approval.
Naturally. in creating such
a commission, the Congress
would want to prescribe certain
conditions to protect the Fed
eral interests"
