been set tentatively Tor the
councils operations.
. The stating proposal was
disclosed after the first business
meeting Of the new council.
Only four members, including
Mr.. Chatelain, were present for
the session, which the chairman
said was devoted mainly to a
review of the order creating the
group and other documents re-
lated to this action.
The council will meet again
September II to hear an OUT
line Of District government
employment and promotion
policies and practices by Henry
F. Hubbard, District personnel
officer.
No funds have been provided
in the District budget for the
new councils operation and
it is not considered likely that
any will be forthcoming from
official sources in the near fu-
ture, the chairman said.
The District Commissioners
are understood to be willing
to budget funds, but it is
thought that some members Of

Congress might put a stumbling
block in the way Of any ap-
preparation at this time.
Mr.. Chatelain said he did
not feel the council could
function effectively without the
help of a professional executive
director and some additional
employees.
The councils mission, under
the order setting it UP, is to
help enforce District govern
.ment non-discrimination rules
and to promote good human
relations" in the community.
The council is empowered
to advise employers and other
community groups on educa-
tional programs for eliminate
ing discrimination.
All council members are
from outside the District gov
eminent.
Provision of a paid staff was
urged strongly by several COM
nunity groups, as well as the
Citizens Advisory Council, at
the time the group was first
proposed by a committee head
ed by Mr.. Hubbard.

EIks Hold
Three-Hour
Parade Here

Some 5000 gaily dressed
marcherS stepped along North
west Washington streets this
afternoon in a three-hour pa
rade, highlighting the conven-
ton of the Grand Lodge of the
improved Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Elks.
Bandsmen, drum majorettes
and just plain marchers wended
their way north from the Ell
lipSe and east to Second street
and Rhode Island avenue NV.
Special traffic restrictions
were put into effect in the as
sembly area, Constitution ave-
nue. between Fourteenth and
Eighteenth streets NV, and
along the parade route.
The sky was overcast but the
temperature-in the low 70s-
was perfect for marching, as
the parade wound northward
along Seventeenth, Eighteenth,
and Fifteenth streets, and east
ward on U and S streets.
MarcherS wore natty fezzeS,
and members of the Grand
Lodge were reSplendent in white
suits and white fezzes.
Thirty members of the Phyl-
lis Wheatley Patrol 146, the
Elks' Women's Auxiliary in
Boston, wore elks' hooves on
their belts.
The biggest splash Of color
was a shining red convertible,
decked with flowers and
wrapped with long chains made
Of cigar wrappers.
Andrew Cailloux of New Or
leans, who adorned the car,
has taken first prize for car
decoration at Elks' parades for
the last IL years.
Earlier, as the parade was as
sembling, one band near the
Washington Monument drew a
crowd Of tourists as it broke
into a lively rendition Of

In"
Some $4,000 ElkS are attend
ing the week-long convention

Mother Charged
In Thefts to Feed
Her Children

A 34-year-old mother has
admitted a series of burglaries
in Northwest Washington to
get money to feed her IL chill
dren, police said today.
Caught carrying q case Of
whiSkey under each arm, Mrs.
Edna Mae Cade, Of the 1900
block Of Lewis street NE, was
charged with HOUSEKEEPING.
Detective Wayne Hostetter
said the woman said she had
been burglarizing a home a
week in the Northwest section,
usually taking whiskey which
she sold for 50 a bottle. She
said her husband had left her
and that she had been cut of
from relief money.
She was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Pvt. James w,
Tester outside the home of
George A. Morgan, 1912 Thirty
fourth place NV, a State De-
partment official.
The policeman said he was
making a routine check Of the
residence because the owner
was'on vacation. He saw three
cases of whisky outside covered
with a quilt. He hid nearby

blue sedan with a man behind
the wheel stop at the Morgan
residence.
The woman got out and
started carrying the whisky
away. AS Pvt. Tester made the
arrest, the man fed in the car,
but was later picked up. He has

YOU FhESS Tf1E SECOND
BUTTON and you see the
youngest President in the
history of the United States
walking rapidly about. His
dropping muStache makes
him look older than a man in
his fortieS.
Photographer Mathew
Brady has given us an idea
of the appearance of the man
who delivered the Gettysburg
Address. Theodore Roosevelt
came much later, but not late
enough for sound movies.
For sound effects with the
pictures of Roosevelt at his
Sycamore Hill estate at OyS-
ter Bay on Long Islands
North Shore, the producers
have chosen "I'm a Yankee
Doodle Dandy"
This theme song continues
through his sending the
"Great White Fleet" around
the world and arranging the
peace treaty between Russia
and Japan that won him a
Nobel Prize.
The tune might seem a lit
tie of beat concerning Theo-
dore Roosevelt, born of a line
of Manhattan Dutch mer-
chants and a mother from
Georgia. But Teddy probably
was IriShman George NJ.
Cohan's Yankee Doodle
Dandy" At any rate, Conan
wrote the song during the
Roosevelt era.

read how high pitched. al
most falsetto, his voice was.
But hearing it, it is hard to
believe. It is more so.
"The principles for which
we stand are the principles
of fair play and a square
deal for everyone. Act
as in a football game. In
other words, don't finch;
don't foul and hit the line

Then the voice drops, and
there follows the unforget-
able phrase he used in a
speech in Chicago in 1912 be-
fore the Republican National
Convention Steamrollered his
attempted comeback and re-
nominated william Howard
Taft.
1--WE stand at Armageddon
and battle for the Lord"
The writer saw President
Roosevelt once. 1t was in the
summer of 1908 when the
President dedicated the mon
ument to the Pilgrims at
Provincetown, Mass, their
first landing place. He thinks
he remembers how the Presi-
dent looked, but that childish
memory is mixed with all the
pictures Of Theodore Roose-
welt he has seen since. He
does not remember his voice.
But this he remembers well:
There was a stir in the crowd.
It finally subsidized. He was
holding his mothers hand
and he asked her what it was
all about. She said:
Some people thought that
Secretary of War Taft, who
is almost sure to be the next
President, was on the plat
form, but he's not"
Taft did succeed Roosevelt,
as everyone knows. The date
was March 4, 1909. That was
in the middle of the follow
ing school year. The writer
is very sure of this:
1t was much easier to be a
Democrat in Public School Sc
under Taft than under Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The man who
enlisted the loyalty of the
boys had left the White
House.

Chevy Chase Leaders
The North Chevy Chase
group was led by Senator Ed

of Montgomery, and former
United States Senator Gerald
P. Nye.
The delegation urged the
commission to defer conStruc-
ton Of the southeast leg until
other roads in the area are
completed and new traffic
studies are made.
Senator Northrop said the
decision to build the road
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-08-26

should not have been made
without discussion and agree
ment by the Metropolitan Re-
gional Conference. He called
the road an opening gambit"
to put a road through Rock
Greek Park in the District.
Mr.. Bonnell said there was
absolutely no basis for feeling
that the proposed road was an
arrow pointing at the park
He said the Maryland commits
sion. however, was obligated to
be ready to pick up traffic from
such a park road If it is ever
built.
And, he went on, he felt that
it was logical to assume that
eventually that a road woulc
be built through the Park.
Alternatives Proposed
Senator Northrop proposed
that as an alternative to the
commissions route for the
southeast leg a route be planned
through the park from East
West highway to the circum-
ferential crossing of the Park
A Chevy Chase Land Co
representative suggested a Sec
ond alternative that would
follow Jones Bridge road just
west Of Connecticut ave. To
Coquelin Run and then to East
West and Beach drive.

build apartments in the path

route. The company's alterna-
tive proposal would skirt the

The
Rambler
49,. Says This
Is q Must in SO
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler, in aimless
wandering about Washington
during this remarkably cool
summer, has been reporting
on some things that can be
experienced for free-band
concerts, art galleries, etc.
Here is one for free and it
is a Must for anyone old
enough to have felt the in1lu-
ence of Theodore Roosevelt.
All you have to do is 60 to
the Library Of Congress and
press a couple Of buttons.
You are probably aware,
and If not you most certainly
will be in the coming weeks,
that this is the year of Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
He was born 100 years ago
come October ~, in a COM
Portable town house Just on
Fifth avenue in New York.
In this Roosevelt exhibit
in the Library there are the
usual cases Of pictures and
manuscripts.
But what attracted the
Rambler was the sound.
Everyone hears it on en-
tering the Library these days.
It comes from the front Of
the Reading Room floor
which is up the grand stair
case. There are several
benches and in front of them
a panel. There are two but
tons. The first says: "Theo-
dore Roosevelt's Voice, 2
minutes"
To the right Of the second
button is a typical televiSion
screen. The sign says: ''Mov-
ing Pictures Of T. R."

Chairman of the judiciary
Subcommittee considering the
Hart nomination, Senator Car
roll failed to call Mr.. Hart be-
fore members in the waning
days Of this last 85th Congress.
Senator Carroll made it clear
he wanted a hearing on the
Hart nomination, mainly be-
cause of Mr.. Harris views on
the Mallory ruling and guaran-
tees against unlawful search
and seizure. He was Joined by
Senator Hennings, Democrat of
Missouri, another subcommit-
teeman, in postponing the hear
ing until Mr.. Harris perform
ance on the bench could be
analysed.
Confirmation Pressed
The third subcommittee
member, Senator Dirksen, Re-
publican of Illinois, pressed
hard for confirmation of Mr..
Hart before Congress ad-
journed.
So all three Senators are re-
garded in Republican circles
here as favoring a recess ap-
pointment by the President.
Their views are bound to be
respected by the Justice De-
partment, which must recon-
mend Mr.. Hart to the White
House for an appointment this
summer. No recess appoint
ment proposals have been for
warded yet to President EiSen-
be within the next month.

fective the day President Eisen-
hover signs them.
4O-Day Time Limit
If Mr.. Hart is named, he
presumably will sit on the
bench from October until Con-
greSs returns in January. The
President would need to re-
submit his name to the Sem
ate within 40 days after Con-
greSS convened, or the ap-
pointee would stop drawing his
salary, according to Judiciary
Committee aides.
Failure Of the Senate to act
on the nomination throughout
the next session would not bar
the President from making a
second recess appointment. But
this time, salary would not at
tach, under current law.
Indications are that Mr.. Hart
Is willing to risk the uncertain
ties Of a recess appointment. He
has resigned as chairman of
the District Republican State
Committee.
Last Friday, Carl L. Shipley,
80, was elected chairman, and
Grahame T. Smallwood, jr., SO,
secretary. This leaves control
in the hands of the center and
right wings of the local party.
And it frees Mr.. Hart from
any partisan politics, which
could well be eyed askance by
the Democratic controlled sub
committee handling his nomi-
nation.
