WILL ROGERS once de-
Scribed a dinner at the town
house. He and Mrs. Rogers,
invited guests, made a mis-
take. They went to Friend
ship. There it was explained
that this was the McLean's
April and May house and
that they we're at their No
vember-D December house on
/ street. Will said it was the
best dinner he ever saw.
There was a waiter behind
every chair and everytime he
started talking to the diner
next to him, the waiter took
his plate of food away and
replaced it with another. The
Rogers were hungry when
they left the McLeans. They
went to Child's on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Several others
of the Mclean guests we're
already there, according to
Wills story.
Mr.. McLean's son and heir,
Edward B. Mclean, married
Evalyn Walsh, heir of the
fabulously we althy Tom
Walsh, proprietor of the
Camp Bird silver mine. They
chose to live at Friendship.
Gen. Mcpherson? Well, he
was a very good general. He
was first in his class at West
Point 1889. He succeeded
Sherman as commander of
the army OF the tennessee,
which became one Of the
three armies Sherman used
in his drive on Atlanta. The
others were the Army Of the
Cumberland and the Army
of the Ohio.
Mcpherson did not live to
ride down Peachtree street.
He was killed by rebel skir-
fnishers while riding with an
orderly along a wooded road
north Of the city.

The
Rambler
Recalls the Feots
OF q Pair Of Macs
By GEORGE KENNEDY


It was q mild afternoon so
The Rambler decided to walk
back from a luncheon at the
Mayfiower. His course took
him through Mcpherson
square.
AS he passed the heroic
equestrian statue with q
pigeon perched as usual on
the generals hat. he read
again the simple inscription:
MAI. Gen. James B. Nc
PhersonD and Presented by
the Society Of the Army Of
the Tennessee, 1876" and on
the west side one word, "At-
lanta."
The Rambler had been
passing that statue and
reading the inscription for
years and it represented all
he knew about Mcpherson.
This time the Rambler re-
solved to look up MCPHERSON.
And, come to think Of it, It's
not so long ago tl93s) that
the splendid mansion Of
John r. Mclean faced the
square on I street.
.
MCPHERSON SQUARE is
one of the pleasantest Of the
many small parks that grace
the Capital. 1t is dominated
by the big Lafayette Build
ing, between Fifteenth street
and Vermont avenue, hous-
ing the Federal Housing ADJ
ministration and a half
dozen Other Government
agencies. 1t was to make way
for this building that the
Mclean mansion was torn
down.
John r. Mclean was the
millionaire publisher of the
Cincinnati Enquirer and the
Washington Post. He inher-
tied the first paper from his
father, Washington Mclean,
who moved his home here
about 10 years after the Civil
War.
John Mclean told John
Russell Pope, the architect,
to build him a house "for en-
misunderstanding else"
1t had to be built around a
small old house on the lot
because Mr.. Mclean had a
phobia about tearing any
thing down. The resulting
pleasure dome had a ball
room with an orchestra BAL
cony, rooms with brocade-
covered walls, and ceilings
with Tiepolo-type female fig.
ures floating in the clouds.
There was a huge statue Of
Neptune in the Michelangelo
tradition and a large pool in
the conservatory. There were
also a secret staircase and
panels that opened at the
push Of a concealed button.
This was the Mclean town
house; the country estate
was Friendship" out on
Wisconsin avenue, now Nc
Lean Gardens.

RIA Urges Briefing
On Renewal Plans
Asks PiecemeuI
Approach for
N. W. Projects

The Redevelopment Land
Agency suggested today that
business and civic interests be
given q briefing in the near
future on tentative plans for
the Northwest Urban Renewal
Area.
It also voted to explore the
possibility of renewing the
Northwest area piecemeal-not
in major projects such as in
Southwest.
The board of directors Of
the agency also voted to in
vestigate the feasibility Of re-
tanning the $40 million which
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency has earmarked for the
urban renewal program here,
If RIA decides to go ahead on
a piecemeal basis later.
The District Commissioners
should take the lead in advis-
ing what RIA is proposing for
urban renewal in the North
west, Chairman John A. Remon
said.
He emissions one meeting, at.
tended by business and civic
interests. to be held probably
in the auditorium Of the Per-
petual Building Association &C
Eleventh and E streets NV, II
that is available. The exact
date will be announced later.
Participants Listed
Participating in this briefng
session. Mr.. Remon thinks,
should be the Washington
Board of Trade, the Federal
City Council. the Federation Of
Citizens Associations and the
Federation of Civic Associa-
tons.
Later. interested Northwest
neighborhood groups would get
a briefing and their views So
licited. Mr.. Remon said.
The chairman pointed out
that the agency desires to get
public reaction to the plan
while it is still in the formative
stage. The National Capital
Planning Commission has
given tentative approval to the
program and interested Fed
eral and District Government
agencies are now reviewing 1t.
The public meetings would be
under the auspices Of RIA, the
Planning Commission and the
District Commissioners, Mr..
Remon said.
After the program has been
hammered out through public
discussion, the Planning Com
mission will have to give final
approval. as will the District
Commissioners, after a formal
public hearing.
Piecemeal Plan
Malcolm Burroughs, acting
executive director of RIA, ex.
planned the piecemeal Develop
ment plan under study has
several advantages. He said
it might be set up on a l0-year
basis for various types of prof.
ects. including clearance and
rehabilitation Of existing dwell
lings. s..
A staff recommendation for
the piecemeal program said
that it will give an orderly and
logical approach to the problem
and afford the people a sense
of direction as to where the
program is going. Quicker app
prevail for small areas would
also be an advantage, the board
was told.
Further. lessons could be
learned from renewing small
areas in rehabilitation and con-
serYation that could be applied
to later work.
Management requirements Of
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency and accounting proce-
dures Of the General Account
ing ONCE came under fire at
the board meeting. Chairman
Remon labeled some Of the re-
quirements as too rigid" uu-
necessary and SILLY" The stan
was instructed to take UP this
problem with the proper au-
thorities to see If q more SIM
plif1ed procedure cannot be
worked out.

THANKSGIVING, 1857

This year, Thanksgiving-a ma

ty-four years old. 1t began in
1863 and credit for beginning the
observance is usually given to
Mrs. Sarah J. Hale.
Less than one month separates
Thanksgiving this year from

these two national religious OBJ

thanks for our blessings, for the
harvest and for the riches of

Old World custom which for
merly attached itself to Thanks
Day in some of the cities
is the parade of children through
the streets, dressed in the
of their elders, with masks
covering their faces. This custom
has largely disappeared, but it
perhaps helped bring about the
tradition of plenty and a bounti-
supply of food for the table.

that a crescent moon will be Wis

1t is always an impressive
event when December rolls
around each year, because of the
of activity of the holiday
season and the spirit which
emerges, and because this is the
last month of the year. For those
who have left things undone in
1857 and who would achieve
them this year, and for those
who look back over the year
and perhaps evaluate their per-
torrance in life, the time is at
hand.

Social Security
For Widows

A widow who was 81 years ole
or over in November 1856 car
still get her social security ben
efits back to that month if she
applies before the end of No
vember, 1857, according to Glenn
A. Gardner, manager of the Bill
lings social security office.
Hundreds of women in the area
served by the Billings office have
applied for benefits since the So
cial Security Act was changed to
permit women to start drawing
their payments at age 81. Gardner
states, however, that there are
undoubtedly many women past
age 81 who have not applied. A
working woman or the wife of a
living retired worker may not
want to apply before she is IS
because she would have to take
permanently reduced benefits.
The reduction does not apply to
the widow or dependent mother
of a deceased insured worker.
She can get the full amount OF
her payments starting at age 81.
The Social Security Act per-
retroactive payments to ell
persons for not more than
one year. If the husband died in
1856 or earlier and
the widow was already 81 in
tina tmonth, she should apply by
November 80, 1857. If she applies
later, she cannot receive all the
monthly payments she might have
received if she had applied ear
Iier. Gardner also pointed out
that the 1857 amendments change
the law so that it is no longer
necessary that a wife or widow
nave been living with" her hus-
band to qualify for benefits on his
account.
Gardner mentioned that wild
,ws who apply for benefits can
ipeed up their payments if they
,ring proof of age and proof of
marriage when they contact their
ocial security office. He pointed
nut that a birth certificate is not
absolutely required for proof of
ge. Any reasonably reliable doc
Iment such as an old family BIZ
lie record or an old insurance
'olicy showing the widows date
f birth will be useful.

OUR HIGHWAY
HORTAGE

The ambitious Federal high
way program, voted about a year
ago, is not being carried out with
speed or industry in most of the
states.
Where super-highways are con-
cerned, some states have begun
work, while others have not. AT
best it will be several years be-
fore a super-highway system will
extend from n end of any state
TO the other.
Meanwhile, it behooves the va
rious states to undertake their
own highway Improvement pro-
grams. They cannot afford to wait
the Federal Highway
system to come into being since
the number of cars being added
to those using the highways each
years is quite large. In addition,
many of our highways are be-
coming obsolete, with heavy
wear and greater demands being
made upon them.
Perhaps a good highway sys-
tenn, with dual-lanes and all the
safeguards which come with mod
ern highways, can do more to re-
duce traffic deaths than any other
one thing. Better and wiser traf-
fic control law enforcement Of

will be valuable in reducing

The most efficient way to "a

provide the motorist with high

earthquakes.
In England the victory of the
Black Prince over the French in
1856 was celebrated for eight
days and special thanksgiving
services were held in St. Paul's
Cathedral after the defeat of the

NEXT YEAR: THE JETS

1t is now apparent that 1858
VIII see the introduction of three
large jet airliners. They will be
the Boeing 707 Stratoliner, the
French Caravelle and the British
Comet ".
The American and British liners
are four-engine jets and the Cara
velle is a two-engine jet. The TOT
will carry 152 tourist-class pas
sengers, or 100 first-class passen-
gers. The Comet " built by
de Havilland will carry go tourist
class passengers or 20 first-class
passengers. The French jet will
carry 30 tourist-class passengers
or "a f~irst-class passengers.
In speed, the American jet
liner will be the fastest flying
COS miles an hour, the British
jet will travel 543 miles an hour
and the French airliner will make
SIS miles an hour.
The following airlines have or
dered the Stratoliner: American
TWA, Pan American, Braniff,
Continental and Qantas. Air
France and Scandinavian Air
Lines have ordered the French
jet airliner and BOAC has or
dered l9 Comet Tvs.
The Stratoliner is the most ex-
pensive of the three, costing
s4,500.000. The Comet w cost
and the Caravelle.
So, 0O0, 900.
OF the U. S. air lines, it is in
teresting to note that American
airlines is expected to receive 80
Stratoliners in 1858, TWA Is and
Pan American 6. The other air
lines which will be obtaining pure
lets in 1858 (Braniff, Continental
Air France, SAS and
.OAC) provide services to and
rom the United States. There
ore, American air passengers will
lave access to three different
ypes of pure jet airliners in
958.
The range of the S~tratoliner and
he Comet " is approximately
900 miles, and these aircraft
hight be employed on transat-
antic routes. In 1859, even long
r range jets, with a larger pas
enger capacity, will be introduce
d. Boeing will introduce its In
arcontinental, which will carry
70 tourist-pasengers and 1872
Ir~st-class passengers, with a
ange of better than $500 miles.

hitch will carry 144 tourist-class
assengers or l18 first-class pas

hitch will carry ia tourist
assengers or "a f~irst-class pas
engers, cruise at 615 miles an
our (the fastest of the pure
,ts) and be capable of nonstop

1t seems obvious, therefore, that
