District Seeks OK
On Warehouse

The District is planning a
new attempt to win congress
sional approval of a new city
warehouse and maintenance
shop.
Budget officers have included
81, 767, 900 in estimates for next
fiscal year for the proposed
building. It would replace
present city shops and storage
facilities at 1917 U street NV
and in the Southwest.
The building also would pro-
vide warehouse facilities for the
public school system, which
now are scattered in six loca-
tons. The main school ware
house, once the old Jefferson
Junior High School, is sched-
uled to be razed soon because
of Southwest redevelopment.
Congress this year failed to
approve funds for the project.
City officials said they con-
sidered renting space but de-
cided this not suitable or eco
nomical. A proposal for a sep
arate new school warehouse
also was dropped.

JOHN Eek volunteered for
the Spanish-American War.
Later he served a hitch in the
Navy and became an electri-
clan. Still young, he started
work as a fireman on the
Southern Railway System and
became their expert on block
signals and other electrical
safety devices.
He was fond of travel and
INDUCED in it. In 1929, he
made an early Pan Am flight
in the Caribbean. It was then
that he applied for a ticket
for the first passenger trans
Atlantic flight. He made it
in the Dixie Clipper" a fly
ing boat, in 1881, Port WASH
ington, N. Y, to Lisbon, Por-
tugal, in % hours and So
minutes.
John went ON to Marseilles,
the terminus of the flight,
spent two days there and re-
turned home. A widower for
many years, he had remar-
ried three months before.
He was a scrap book man,
kept all his correspondence
regarding reservations, can
celed tickets and logs Of his
flights. The book is now in
the Smithsonian Institution.
In making his reservation
three years ago for the COM
ing flight, he said: II would
like to be along on the first
"trip to the moon"
But John Eck'S travelling
days were coming to an end.
In March, 1857, he was cross
ing the Pacific on a ship with
his wife. It was to be his first
trip around the world. He
died in his sleep and was
buried at sea, which was the
way he wanted it. He had
made that request before en-
barking. He was 50 years old.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va.
Sept. "a. - Massive resistance
took on a pine-paneled flavor
here today.
About 1886 students, displaced
when an elementary school was
shut down to avoid integral
ton, began their school year
in Easements Of is private
homes.
The Easements - most Of
them paneled recreation rooms
are a far cry from the facil-
tiles at white-pillared Venable
Elementary School. But the
parents who banded together
to get this interim" program
going believe the children can
begin assimilating the "basics"
while they wait for the public
school to reopen.
MOST OF the parents are hop
ing the makeshift arrangement
will not last long, but so far
Gov. Almond has given resi-
dents little encouragement that
the public schools will be re-
opened soon.
A group Of 81 f1rst-graders
get their baptism of education
in the basement recreation
room Of the Gordon Harris
home at 305 Kent road. Their
teacher is Mrs. Nancy Strong,
a public school teacher, who
also Is on an enforced vacation
from Venable.
Use Folding Chairs
At the home of Earl Martin,
1885 WeStview road, members
of a seventh-grade class arrived
with their folding chairs and
took up quarters in a recrea-
ton room that showed indica-
tons of q sportsman in the

-Four guns. one of them an

securely fastened to one paneled
wall. The IL and 10 year ODDS

said.
Play Area Planned
Across the street from the
Martin home is a large vacant
Ilot, which the city manager has
promised to have cleaned of
for use as a play area during
recess.
Another mother, Mrs. G.
Warren Nutter, who has offered
her basement for a seventh
grade class, said she expects
the interim program to work
out all right.
MY Oldest girl went to pri-
vate school in the first grade
in a converted garage, and it
worked out very satisfactorily, I"
she said. IT think this win
provide good interim teaching,
and that's certainly all it is
designed for"

who are within easy walking

senger Jet flight from New
York to Paris, in which pas
senger comfort win get more
consideration than speed,
may well be made in less than
seven hours. Times are
changing.
Americans seem to be
taking up the hobby Of being
first IN increasing numbers.
Several years ago one of
these lobbyists camped for
a night or two with his
family at Sandy Point, Nd,
to be the first to cross the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Probably campers viii
pitch tents at Yankee Sta
diun a week ahead of the
World Series opening to be
the first to buy bleaeher
tickets.
There were no passengers
in the famous first flights of
aviation, the Wright Kitty
Hawk flight Of 1908, Bleriot's
flight across the English
Channel of 1909 and the
Lindbergh flight of 1927.
Perhaps that whets the
interest of the tlrst-flight
lobbyists. They want to
share IN making history, to
hang q framed photograph
on the Office wall Of, the
boarding of the plane with
a White ring around the i'm
portalit passenger in the line
on the steps of the ramp.
But this is sour grapes
stuff. Who wouldn't want
to make this upcoming first
flight, Paris in Z hours?
The Rambler, who is naive,
called Pan Am and asked how
many persons from Washing
ton had responded by send
ing in the coupon and q check
for $50 to hold a seat on the
first ride.
First it was explained to
him that the coupon offered
advance reservations"
Second that more than a
thousand persons had applied
for the first flight (the plane
will carry fewer than $50
passengers) before the ad
was run.
And third that there was a
story. Ticket No. / on the
October 26 flight to Paris
and Rome will be sold to Mrs.
John Eek Of 7O5 South Thir-
ty-firSt street, Arlington.
Her husband, who had
made something of a career
of being a passenger on first
Pan Am flights, had made
the reservation in 1855, when
the contract for the Boeing
jets was announced. He died
in the spring Of last year. His
widow. Emily, viii occupy the
seat reserved for him.

at ALL"
AS these is classes got under
way, two other groups were
awaiting provisions being made
for them. They are students Of
Lane High School and another
section of Venable children.
Arrangements for those at
tending today were made by
the Parents Committee for
Emergency Schooling. Another
Venable group of about 200
has signed up with the Char
lottesville Education Founda-
ton. which expects to begin
classes Friday in a large vacant
house stated with Venable
teachers.
The total registered by the
two groups represents nearly
all Of the Venable student body.
The two parent groups are
meeting today to work out a CO.
operative arrangement for
handling high school instruc-
ton. Representatives of the two
ORGANIZATIONS agreed, at a four
hour closed meeting yesterday,
to cooperate after the high
school teachers urged that q
single organization be set up.
Under the arrangement
agreed on yesterday, the emer-
gency educational program for
high school students will be the
sole responsibility Of the teach
ers, who have volunteered their
services until the school is re-
opened. Arrangements for IA
cilities and equipment will be
handled by a committee set up
by the two parent groups.
