SEND A KID TO CAMP
Mothers Philosophy
Accepted by Children

You do the best you can with
what you have-that's Mrs.
Browns philosophy.
Mrs. Brown has her children
and her home.
Her home is poor by some
standards. In places the plaster
is peeling off the wall. A new
door she added for the children's
safety still is not adequate. with
a draft blowing in through the
wide space at the bottom.
Mrs. Brown is buying her
home. A place Of her own for
herself and her children is vital
to her.
She works from 4 pm. until
midnight. She makes dinner
for Jane. 8. and Mike. 10. before
she goes to work. and leaves it
on the stove. She insists the
children come home before she
leaves, and she calls them after
she gets to work. A good friend
and next-door neighbor keeps
an eye on them until Mrs. Brown
gets home.
Well-Mannered Children
They 90 TO bed without any
attendance.
Well-mannered children. Jane
and Mike are serious. never
vivacious and outgoing. Mrs.
Brown is serious woman, too.
But her children are not dis
turbed. Her love for them, and
her character, have given her
children strength, too.
Self-pity is not a family char
acteristic. AT a recent Brownie

very few toys. and sometimes

RIA Takes
Legal Steps in
Area ruct

The Redevelopment Land
Agency has taken steps toward
legal action to acquire another
square-the one between Fourth,
Sixth. E and F Streets-for its
Southwest redevelopment area
C project.
Malcolm Burrows. the agency's
acting director. said that agree
ment had been reached by nego-
tiation on all but IA parcels of
the tract. however.
A request for action to acquire
the property by condemnation
has been forwarded 90 the JUS
tice Department. Mr.. Burrows
disclosed at a meeting of the
RIA board yesterday.
Area c. acquisition thus far
includes 31l parcels obtained by
negotiation at cost of SAC mil
lion and 1874 by condemnation at
a cost Of $2.6 million. Mr. Bur-
rows said. He added that "a
of the condemnation cases have
been negotiated and SO are left
for trial.
Mr.. Burrows reported to the
board suggestions made at a
meeting sponsored by the whole
sale food division Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION Monday night includ-
ing the possibility of a new
municipal market in Southwest
where "diSpossessed" business
men could rent or lease space
at a reasonable price.
The board authorized Mr.
Burrows to work with Godfrey
M. Thornett, secretary to the
Board of District Commission
ers. and with the city heads in
their consideration of the sug-
gestions and Of the problems OF
the merchants.

and in other cases, spokesman for
property owners asked that
changes be made to permit more
extensive development than the
Lewis plan permits.
Hit by Gas Light Co.
A strong indictment of the
plan was registered by Oscar
Berry. general counsel of the
Washington Gas Light Co., who
commended it would threaten
future use and full development
OF a major distributing plant
near Twelfth and M streets Sc,
and of the firms main operating
department headquarters" in
Georgetown.
The most significant single
objection yesterday came from
groups of residents in remodeled
Georgetown type" row houses
between M street and the Poto-
mac River, where a large number
OF heavy commercial businesses
also exist. Mr.. Lewis proposed
a commercial manufacturing"
coming classification to most of
this land, which would forbid
construction of any new resi-
dences.
Residents attacking this spe-
cific restriction included Alva B.
Martin. president of the Cherry
Hill Citizens Association; Merle
Thorpe. Mrs. Vance R. Hood,
Burton Davis and Samuel Her
man.
Issues Statement
In a lengthy statement, Mrs.
Harold B. Hinton of the Pro-
gressive Citizens Association of
Georgetown said single-family
home areas like Georgetown are
the most exploited in the
world" and urged a number of
notifications in the Lewis plan
to strengthen safeguards for the
property owners.
Renah F. Camalier, former
District Commissioner. praised
as "a private citizen" Mr.. Lewis
breadth of vision" and said
that. with some changes, the
consultant's plan should serve as
"a sound and constructive ap-
proach" to a new coming code.
AS an attorney representing a
client. however. Mr.. Camalier
said some of the detailed Lewis
proposals "thwart progress" and
appear to be without purpose. "
In testimony on another area
of the city. Alphonso Fernandez
of the Columbia Heights Forum
protested that numerous existing
businesses. especially those on
Fourteenth street NV. could
not comply with the rigid rules
Mr.. Lewis suggests and that
their right to remain might be
endangered in the future.

action to the Lewis plan. The
hearings could end today, but
may be forced into a final session

The large turnout today Of
residents north of Georgetown
and west of Rock Creek Park
was in sharp contrast to small
turnouts from other areas. The
commission. in some instances
heard testimony both for ano
against new building restrictions

Two nearby residents. Stanley

dental coming be retained. Mr.
Pollock argued that commercial
properties just across Connec-

"a hard time" and that some
have gone out of business.
Several residents also attacked
the Lewis proposal to establish
large commercial zone on the
south side of Western avenue

Cut Off Free
textbook Plan
School Board Seeks
A Way to Absorb
$3.50. 900 Budget Cut
BY PAUL HOPE

Elimination of free textbooks
in Fairfax County elementary
schools will be considered by the
school board to absorb a cut in
the school budget.
The board will meet at 8 pm.
Saturday to decide how to adjust
the school budget to conform to
a $250.000 budget cut made last
week by the Board of County
Supervisors.
School Board Members Robert
F. Davis and Theodore Heriot
suggested cutting $4,000 by
eliminating free textbooks. Mr..
Davis said he would not like to
do it but could not see any other
way out.
Sidney Solomon said he was
opposed to eliminating free text
books.
Program Three Years Old
The county started it's free
elementary textbook program
three years ago. High school
students rent their books.
Supt. w. T. Woodson proposed
that the cut be absorbed by
eliminating nearly 5000, 900 from
the capital outlay portion of the
budget and by taking out few
employees proposed to be hired.
The reduction in capital outlay
would eliminate money for some
temperament teaching ma
terials and salaries of several
building inspectors.
Some members also suggested
elimination of SAC. 500 set up for
driver training in high schools.
Harley Williams, president Of
the Virginia Citizens Committee
for Better Schools, and Douglas
Trittipo, president of the Fair
fax Taxpayers Association, asked
that no cuts be made in the capt.
tai outlay item. They said that
II this fund were cut. the items
would have to come from bond
funds which would cost taxpayers
more in the long run.
De FebiO Move Discussed
In another matter. Board
Member Turner Hudgins sug-
gested that the board try to get
itself removed as a defendant in
the suit filed by Mrs. Theo De
Febio to have her sons returned
to school. The boys were dis
missed after Mrs. De Febio re-
fused to sign pupil placement
application required under new
State legislation designed to pre-
vent indignation in the schools.
Mr.. Hudgins said the Fairfax
board has no responsibility for
placement of pupils since that
has been taken over by
a State board. He said dismissal
of the two boys was an admins
trative action and the school
board had nothing to do with it.
Mr.. Davis asked that the Fair
fax board be kept fully informed
of proceedings in the case. He
said that as long as the board
is a defendant in the litigation.
the boards views should be pre-
Sented to the State Supreme
Court OF Appeals which will hear
the case.
School Board Attorney John
c. Wood said that he did not ex-
pect the case to be heard until
fall.

THE POTOMAC flows be-
tween wooded banks except
for open fields opposite Mount
Vernon, which we reached at
noon. Cy rang the bell as
steamers have done when
passing the Washington home
since they first piled the river.
Cy was loafing along at
eight knots-a good idea with
q new engine.
We had the river to our
selves. Cranes slowly flew by
with enormous sweep of the
wings. Fish, probably shad or
rockfish, leaped in the still
water ahead.
Cy went aft and, with APP
parent disregard of the prob
lem of steering the boat, be-
gan to take cherrystone clans
out of the beer cooler and
open them.
There is something apt
about eating oysters or clans
on boat. The atmosphere on
the water on a cool day like
yesterday has a way of en-
couraging the appetite. Dis
posal of the shells is no prob
lem. Just toss them overheard.
Usually there is too much
time between clans because
they are so difficult to open.
But when your host is an ex-
perienced raw-bar counter
man and hands you the clans
faster than they can be eaten,
you are living it up. Cy was
doing more than opening
clans. He was keeping an eye
cooked. Every once in a while
he would run forward and
correct the course.
At LAS, the tide turned. We
had been bucking a strong
flood tide. At the same time,
Cy decided the engine could
turn a bit faster and, with
the help of the tide, we
speeded up to 10 knots. That's
about II miles an hour-fast
enough.

By JERRY OLEARY, JR.

Baseball has survived such set
backs as the Black Sox. the
bonus rule and the old st. Louis
Browns. but last night the ma
tional sport met its sternest
test-and there must be a lot
of charley horses on Capitol Hill
today.
The annual Congressional Ball
Game was won by the Demo-
Gratis, 10 to 8 in Griffith Stadium
in just about the longest five-
inning game ever played. Or so
it seemed.
Two thousand spectators
turned out despite the threat of
rain to see the Democrats ex-
tend their control of Congress
TO matters athletic. The way
they did it couldn't have been
what Abner Doubleday had in
mind.
The end, however. justified the
somewhat awkward means be-
cause the game was to help raise
money for The Evening Stars
Summer Camp Fund. A lot of
kids will have a happier summer
because of the Congressman and
their willingness to help.
Senator Theodore Green, at
SO the Oldest man ever to serve
in the Senate. was a good sport
about throwing out the first ball
twice to accommodate the
cameramen. His first throw was
a lusty toss snagged by Repub-
lican Representative Cederberg
of Michigan. The second was
more like an Easter egg roll.
Young G. o. P. Representative
Harold Collier of Illinois bounced
on that one.
The winning pitcher was 81
lyear-old Stewart Udall from
Arizona, who gave up IL hits
and hurled his game in a hat
less state that caused much con-
Germ for his safety at each pop
Ay. The loser was Edwin May OF
Connecticut. who looks like
Whitley Ford at distance and
suffers the resemblance to end
there.
The batting hero OF the eve
ming was G. o. P. first baseman
Gerry Ford Of Michigan, who
got two hits, one OF them a
bases-loaded homer to short left.
Here is a play-by-play OF the
game:
