GeorgetownLotD Dispute
Heard by Zoning Unit

The battle over a Georgetown
building lot with a 5-foot
bump" and a house being
erected on 1t was waged before
the Board Of Zoning Adjust
ment today.
The lot is part of a 17-home,
81 million development in the
center of the block bounded by
p. @. Thirtieth and Thirty-f1rst
streets. The project is being
carried out by A. L. Wheeler.
After the hearing, the board
took the matter under advise
ment and will announce later
its decision on the move by
opponents Of the housing prof.
ect to halt construction of the
house.
Mrs. Frederick H. Bunting OF
1915 Thirty-first street NV,
was one Of those appearing be-
fore the board today. The gar
den Of the Bunting backs UP to
the house which is under con-
struction and Mrs. Bunting has
complained that excavation for
the new house caused the
cave-in of part Of her garden
She said she and her husband
have suffered from the con-
struction Of the house and
urged that a decision of last
March against Mr.. Wheeler's
house be upheld.
Civic Group Appeals
The hearing today was on an
appeal by the Progressive Citi-
zens' Association Of George
town from a Director of Ii
censes decision in June. This
decision held that a 5-foot off,
set-referred to by directors
as the 5-foot bumps ac-
ceptable as a street frontage
for the specific purpose Of
shifting the required rear yard
to the north end Of the lot.
This, the directors main

yard as required.

Remains Shod
At q Wine P0rty
By GEORGE KENNEDY

By GEORGE KENNEDY
An invitation that arrived
In the mail last week puzzled
the Rambler. It was to at
tend a vendemmia.
So he called the home of
Signor Gabriel Paresce, who
Is in charge of press rela-
tions for the Italian En-
bassy.
Signor Paresce was out Of
the. city, but Signora came
to the phone.
what is a vendemmia?"
the Rambler asked her.
The word made her happy.
There was laughter in her
voice.
That's the most fun in
italy" she said. "It is the
harvest festival in the vine
yards, when the wine grapes
are picked and pressed.
II have treaded the grapes
when I was q girl.
1T is fun to feel them
burst under your feet and
the juice squirt between your
toes.
1T was not only the girls
who tamped the grapes with
bare feet. The young men
would do their share.
II am glad that you are
going. Let me know what
happened"
Now the Rambler, who
has had his barefoot days,
is q little old for that sort
of thing. He is perfectly
willing to take OF his shoes.
But he wouldn't blame the
young men If they bumped
him into q sitting position
in the vat. He hoped he
wouldn't be asked to partic-
ipate.

Slow Students
Under Study
PTA Storts Action
On Sub-VocutionuIs

The Board of Managers Of
the District Congress Of Parents
and Teachers took steps today
to determine what efforts
should be made here to educate
sub-vocational level students.
Mrs. Silas Williams, board
member. said she feels the Dis
trict should have some program
to provide for such children
who, though incapable Of alb
sorbing much book learning,
could be trained to take on such
jobs as that Of domestic serv-
ant, auto washer and busboy.
After lengthy debate the
board voted to refer the matter
to its Education Committee
which is headed by Keith john
son. a supervisor in the District
public schools.
The question was brought ur
by the deferment this summer
Of such a program at Armstrong
School. The District Board OF
Education intends to hold q
public hearing on the matter
next month.
In other action at its meet
ing at Grant School today the
PTA board also referred to its
education committee a pro-
posal that School Supt. Hobari
M. Corning send out a letter
to parents. explaining the phi
losophy" Of the public schools
approach to education.
Mrs. Willard Culver said she
feels parents are confused
about such matters as split ses-
sions. division of student groups
by learning ability and size Of
classes. However, other board
members said they feel this Il
true only in certain schools anc
seems to depend on the indi.
vidual principal.
A special committee was ere.
ated by the Congress board II
study procedures used by the
Board Of Education in hearing
complaints against alleged in
efficient teachers.
Mrs. Culver said she know
of at least two cases wheri
teachers who have been Judged
unsatisfactory by individual
school authorities have. In ef
feet, "thumbed their noses" a

them. She said that in boti
these cases the school board

TO act and has kept unfavor'
able information about thu

NO ONE ASKED HIM to
take of his shoes at the
party. He was also fortunate
that he was at a rear table
and some Of the Concord
grapes were still hanging
from the vines above. Guests,
unaware of the coming
vendemmia, had been reach
ing for them as they ripened,
and there we're only a few
left.
Frank had repaired this
damage by hanging punches
Of the big purple and the
big amber California grapes
CTokay) on the vines above
with paper clips.
When ne sat down at our
table, a bunch fell upon his
head and, for a second, he
had a very bacchanalian APP
pearance.
Franks son and daughter,
Roberto, IL, and Mirella, II,
had a wonderful time.
Mirella carried a big basket
on her head with grace and
poise. Roberto would fill 1t
with grapes, mostly punches
Of the Californian varieties
hanging on paper clips,
Then Mirella dumped them
in a hand press at the foun-
tain in the center Of the
garden, and Roberto turned
the crank.

THIS VENDEMMIA was to
be at the Roma Restaurant
on Connecticut avenue. The
Rambler had been at the
Roma several times and
realized 1t had vendemmia
possibilities. FRANKIE Abbo,
the proprietor, has done a
magnificent job of making a
grape arbor in the court
not quite John Keats arbor
1full of sweet dreams and
health and quiet breathing"
but q good arbor for a party.
Frank had managed to
make Concord grape vines
cover the lattice work over
every table in the court, as
well as the fountain in the
center. When the Rambler
last saw them, the grapes
were small and green. He
realized why Frank had
issued invitations to a
vendemmia - those grapes
should be ripe.
They are not wine grapes.
They are as Yankee as their
name, They are grown COM
mercially on the terraces
that rise a bit above the
Lake Erie Shore in Western
New York. About this time,
they are big and blue and
ripe. And they have a dust
on their skin that is nat
ural-not from passing auto
mobiles.
They are wonderful to eat,
with the skins. When the
Rambler was a boy, the
prevalent idea was that you
should eject the seeds. Grape
seeds could cause appen-
dicitis. The Rambler still
knows nothing about that,
He did have appendicitis,
but it occurred in the spring.

Senators Ask
A-Aqency Data
By the Associated Press

The State Department has
been asked to supply a state
ment of Interpretation and pol
icy" to Senators considering
United States participation in
the projected international
atomic energy agency.
The statement is sought in an
effort to resolve doubts among
some Senators before the Senate
votes on ratification Of the agree
ment setting up the agency to
promote President Eisenhower'S
atoms-for- peace proposals.
The action was taken by a For
eign Relations subcommittee,
headed by Senator Fulbright,
Democrat Of Arkansas, which is
meeting with Senate members Of
the Senate House Atomic Energy
Committee to study the proposal.
Senator Fulbright said the two
groups will meet again Thurs
day to receive the State Depart
ment's clarifying statement.
A two-thirds vote in the Sem
ate would be needed to ratify the
agreement.
The atomic agency, planned by
30 nations. would promote the
exchange Of scientific informa-
ton. the training of scientists.

Presbyteridns
ToAir Rejected
Racial Protest

OMAHA, May % R.-The
General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church had before it
today a firm rejection of q
Southern white Presbytery's
challenge to anti-segregation
announcements.
The matter was on the docket
for decision by the assembly in
its last session of a week-long
meeting. The rejection was In
a terse report of the Standing
Committee on Social Education
and Action.
The Presbytery of Birming-
hama Of Birmingham, Ala. de-
manded in q resolution that the
Committee on social Education
and Action refrain from making
recommendation in the area of
racial and cultural relations in
1857
The committee report replied
"that the racial problems Of our
time are Of such scope and
urgency as to require our at
tention and action"
In a separate recommended
ton the committee asked the
assembly to launch a compre-
hensive, effective, unified pro-
gram for the whole church to
achieve a non-segregated church
and a non-segregated society"
The Birmingham Presbytery
objected to publication Of last
years General Assembly pro-
nouncements containing strong
statements condemning segre-
cation.
But this years committee de-
clared:
I'VE urge the widest possible
distribution Of the pronounce
ments. Only as they are known
can they become effective guides
to Christian action"
The Birmingham resolution
asked the Assembly Ito make a
serious effort to understand the
problem as it specifically exists
in the South by personal visit
and discussion with white and
Negro leaders in the church
here"
The whole matter was to be
thrown in the lap of the assem-
bly, when it acted upon the COM
mittee's report.
