Called

A House District subcommit-
tee will begin hearings at 10
am. Monday on two bills to
curb punishment abuses here.
William N. Mcleod, jr., clerk
Of the full committee, said the
Judiciary subcommittee, headed
by Representative Abernethy,
Democrat Of Mississippi, will
consider bills introduced by Rep
resentatives Mcmillan, Demo-
crat Of South Carolina, and
Dowdy. Democrat of Texas.
The Mcmillan bill, based on
a draft by the District Bar Asso-
citation. would limit to 10 per
cent the amount Of a debtors
salary that could be attached
TO collect debt.
The Dowdy bill would abolish
garnishment Of wages and SAL
aries earned In the District but
would not affect savings &C.

other cash reserves. These still
could be attached.
Mr.. Mcmillan. who is chairman
Of the full District Committee.

and suggested that garnishment
be abolished,

and Judge Milton s. Kronheim.
IT.. Of Municipal Court; Thomas

The Mcmillan bill has the In
dorsement Of Commissioner Rob-
ert e. Mclaughlin, the Municipal
Court judges and the bar asso-
citation. Support also has come
from members Of the Washing
ton Restaurant Association and
from trade associations.
Critics OF the present garnish-
ment law have charged It en-

so completely sold on the value

8 Helicopters
WhirIi in Test
For President

The White House area, tradi-
tionally barred to aircraft OF
any kind. saw eight helicopters
whirling about yesterday in first
practice runs of a marieuver to
get President Eisenhower quickly
out Of Washington.
He took no part in the maneu-
vers, held on the Ellipse across
from the White House. and soon
after the exercises started he
got into a limousine and drove
of to Burning Tree for golf
A reporter got the Presidents
dander up a few weeks ago by
suggesting at news conference
that the helicopters we're or
dered to fly Mr.. Eisenhower to
the golf course.
He said sharply then that no
helicopters had been procured
to fly him to a golf course. The
White House has said the hell
copters will be used to take the
President to and from the air.

Washington in mid-July during

White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said, before
Mr.. Eisenhower's temper flared
at the news conference question
that he was not ruling out the
possibility Of using 'copters fol-

courses. Mr.. Hagerty said al

until they could save enough for
a substantial down payment on
a house, figuring that they could
get better home and their pay
ments would be smaller.
Their decision to move to the
suburbs followed the pattern Of
many comparatively young
couples. They wanted the happy
combination of enough living
space and at q price they could
afford.

committee for consideration al

While the Commissioners ap-
proved this move, Commissioner
David B. Karrick warned, how
ever. that making the resident
supervision rule mandatory could
have far-reaching effect.
He said building owners
couldn't afford to have 20 or 80
per cent Of the space in small
buildings taken up by resident
managers. He said that If the
District required this you'll
eliminate them"
Hearing ON Development
E. Milton Dulin, licensing de-
partment housing superintend-
ent, said today as many as half
of the city's 5000 apartment
buildings with five or more units
might be affected by the pro-
posed regulation. About half OF
the Districts apartment build
ings have fewer than five apart

is more varied than that of
the voice on TV. And one
thing is definitely different.
He never mentions the COM
pany which has purchased the
lot Of tobacco.
Editor Wyvill who, like every
prominent citizen in Prince
George County, owns several
tobacco fields, said:
For IA years, I have been
following the auctioneers, and
/ can never make out, even
when its my own tobacco,
what price it brought and who
bought it,"
The information is imme-
diately available, because
someone writes it on the ticket
atop the stack Of tobacco as
the auctioneers, buyers and
clerks of the course walk be-
tween the rows.
All the grower has to do is
to take the ticket to the
cashiers window, and he is
given a check for the amount.
But, oh, so much has to be
done about tobacco to get to
that point.
This is the 1856 crop that
is being sold, started under
cheese cloth in March of last
year.
The growers are disap-
, pointed in the prices which,
at the opening of this years
auctions, were about so cents
per 100 pounds under last
year.
There had been hopes that
the trend to filtered cigarettes
would help Maryland tobacco,
but these hopes have been
dashed.
The second most impressive
thing is the aroma. It pervades
the atmosphere inside and
filters out. Passing motorists
enjoy the pleasant odor.
And the third most impress
sive thing is the speed with
which the tobacco is sold.

The
Rambler
Is Impressed
By Tobacco Sole
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


The auctioneer's chant that
introduces the slit Parade"
and ends with "sold to Amer
lean Tobacco Co.," has been
heard throughout the land.
The true Song Of the auc-
tioneer is voiced in vast audi
forums not far from WASH
ington.
These are the tobacco auc-
ton sheds in Southern Mary
land. The nearest are at Upper
Marlboro, Is miles from the
Capital. The auctions start
about May /.
So yesterday, the Rambler
drove to Upper Marlboro.
He stopped in on Sam Wy
will, editor of the Marlboro
Enquirer Gazette, who accom-
panied him to the big auction
shed of the Edelen Bros. on
the outskirts of the town.
The chant could be heard
even before we entered the
building. Hatten Valentine of
Richmond was the auctioneer,
and he was in splendid voice.
His is a sweet tenor voice.
It's resonance and timber re-
mind you of Burl Ives.
Mr.. Valentine has been gain
ing weight in recent years,
which increases his resern-
blance to the rotund folk song
singer. All the auctioneer
needs now is a beard.
The dimensions of the shed
are striking. You could lay out
a football field in either d.
rection. The lighting is theat-
rical. 1t comes from large sky
lights on the roof. The sun
was shining through them
and every once in a while
would give Mr.. Valentine the
spotlight.

be accredited.
Still, educators are sold on
the value Of generalization -
largely matter Of self appraisal
and improvement. Accreditation
costs are small when compared
to most school costs. but still
make up q tidy sum for a stu
dent body to raise.
Anacostia recently came up
with about $1,000 to provide
travel. food and lodging iex-
penses for a team of educators
who studied the schools courses
and facilities for weak spots.
PTA Is Surprised
The money is usually raised
through various student activi-
ties-or by an appeal to the
schools community.
Members of the Board Of Man.
ayers Of the P-TA expressed
some surprise over the fact that
Spingarn High School has meyer
been accredited since it opened
in September of 1852. The or
ganization then took steps tc
pressure District officials to pro-
vide the funds needed for &C.
creditation at Spingarn.
Over the years. school officials
have repeatedly lost in efforts to
place the cost Of generalization in
the budget. Each school comes
UP for generalization every 10
years and the cost per year would
be relatively low. about $4,000,
according to school admins
traitors.
Hopes to Raise Money
Spingarn's principal, DR.. Pur-
Wis J. williams, said the school
hasn't been able to raise the
money to bring the team Of IN
vestigators here. He has hopes
of raising the needed amount by
this summer. He adds that q
new school, such as his. needs a
few years to iron the kinks out
before readying itself for ac-
creditation. Meanwhile, no one
doubts that the school will even
tually win generalization.
1t is DR.. Williams position that
the District should grant the
school funds for the investiga-
ton.
AS one principal put it, at
Is morally wrong to require stu
dents to pay the way for ac-
Circulation"
But at the same time he
adds that generalization is OF
such value to q school that,
while It's cost is never repaid by
city officials. the only realistic
thing to do is to 60 to the

made Of thin Stats Of wood.
There are about $50 pounds
OF tobacco on each burden

The auctioneer walks be-

eight buyers representing the

The buyers pull bundles
from the piles Of tobacco as
they walk along, and they
seldom pause in their walking.
The Rambler has watched
them for hours, over the years.
But he is unable to report how
