Federal Mcney
Urged 10 Finish
Potomac Study
Maryland Unit Asks
Revision of Compact
For Busin Group

BALTIMORE, Nov. 4 (AP).-
A legislative committee today
urged Maryland's Congress-
men to secure a Federal ap-
preparation that will enable the
Army Corps Of Engineers to
complete its survey Of the Po-
tomac River basin at the earli-
est possible date and without
any limitations.
The Legislative Councils
Committee on the Potomac
River Basin also recommended
that the council approve pro-
posed changes in the compact
governing an interstate COM
mission on the basin.
The revised compact would
expand the scope of the inter-
state commission into the field
of water resources and would
remove the ceiling on financial
contributions from member
States.
Seeks Extension
The committees third recon-
mendation was that it be re-
appointed in 1860 to continue
| its studies Of the river for the
fifth year.
Congress has ordered the
Corps of Engineers to prepare
a development program for the
Potomac basin, one Of the last
great basins in the country
not developed. A report was
prepared in 1916 but was not
implemented. In 1856 Con-
gress asked the corps to review
its 1946 report.
The target date for compile
tion of the review Is 1851, out
the legislative committee said
failure of Congress to appro-
pirate sufficient funds indicates
a delay until 1862 or 1868.
Limited Scope Hit
The Maryland legislators also
attacked a 1859 congressional
resolution limiting the scope
of the survey to water supply,
food control and pollution
control. It said this restriction
should be lifted.
The recommended changes
in the Interstate Commission,
consisting of Maryland, Penn
sylvania. West Virginia, Vir-
ginia and the District of
Columbia, would broaden its
scope of activities from pollu-
ton abatement only to include
water resources and associated
land resources.
Another change would re-
move the ceiling of $4,000 on
member contributions. Mary
lands 1859 contribution $500,
about Is per cent of the COM
missions total budget.

THE COLONEL HOPES to
quit the school board in 1861.
He has served through two
periods, from 1887 to 1943,
and was renamed again in
1852.
AS the years go by, there
is no distinguishable change
in the colonel. He looks
calmly back on the time
when fellow members of the
Negro community charged he
did not represent them in
school matters. He was
threatened, telephoned at 3
am. and called "Uncle Tom"
and carried a pistol in his
pocket.
He walked out of his shop
the other day with a visitor.
Nov let's see," said the
colonel, where is my char
iot?"
He found his car, and on
the drive downtown he was
saying:
"ThiS car is like an old
man - something's goin g
wrong all the time. 1t con-
sumes a prodigious quantity
of gas. You like to shoot
squirrels? I can't hit 'em,
but I love to blast away .
I've got a meeting of the
election board this afternoon.
I'm going to try to get
out of town next month and
do some hunting.
Maybe I'll miss the school
board meeting. I've missed
only one. I was absent the
day of my mothers funeral.

The
Rambler
Goes to
See The Colonel
By JOHN McKELWAY

n lew years UdCk, IIle
District Board of Education
had reached that point when
reason is exhausted and to
vote Is the only way out.
UglinesS threatened to de-
velop. Then a peculier thing
happened:
Col. West Alexander Ham
ilton, member of the board,
twisted in his chair and two
cigars appeared in his hand.
With much effort, he tossed
one in a high arc to another
member Of the board who was
sitting perhaps IS feet away.
1t was a good shot, actually.
The tension crumbled, the
issue was met and voted on,
and the board proceeded to
other business. Everybody
seemed to feel much better
about everything-even the
colonel, who was smoking by
then, but still frowning as he
ALWAYS does. with a NAMED
expression.
Col. Hamilton, who rarely
laughs but has a quaint
humor, is 70. He rolls on
and on. He is part of the
city, his birthplace, a sort
of professional board mem
ber." He is a public servant
though he will moan at the
end of a long meeting and
threaten to retire. He is
plump, has sympathet tic
brown eyes and walks slowly
but steadily. He is gracious.
Currently, he goes from the
Board of Education to the
District Recreation Board;
to the Board of Elections;
to the Commissioners Coun-
Gil for Problems of the Ag-
ing; to the Centennial Com
mission for Observance Of
the Tooth Anniversary Of the
Civil War; to the board of
directors Of the Greater
Washing ton Educational
TeleviSion Association; to
the Commissioners Advisory
Council on Civil Defense; to
the Committee of Manage
ment Of the Twelfth street
branch, YMCA; to the board
of directors, Frontiers Of
America; to the audit COM
mittee of the Masonic Grand
Lodge; to the House Com
mittee of the Walker Post,
American Legion, and, when
he has time, to his print
shop at 1853 U street NV.
"THE HAMILTON PRINT
ING COMPANY" has been
on U street since 1908, han
ding commercial and job
printing and now and then
a pamphlet or small book.
The colonel and his brother,
Percival, six years younger
than the colonel, operate the
shop.
Inside the shop, there is
a small hand press under
glass. It is labeled simply:
"Our First Press"
The walls are covered with
signs. They range from the
sayings of Lincoln to one
which reads: "The Coward
Never Starts. The Weak Die
on the Way. Only the Strong
Come Through"
Col. Hamilton is garrulous.
If he's not at a meeting, and
you catch him at the print
shop, he will sit at his desk
andchatin a continuous flow.
The other day he got
worked up about the city's
traffic.
There's too much depend
ence on signs" he said.
"They forget the human ele-
ment. Why do they have
those flashing red lights?
Why can't they put a cop at
a busy corner? It's getting
worse"
1.-THE city," he continued,
sis getting too big for it's
government. They ought to
decentralize.

UNCLE CHARLIE
WORDS, WIT

EHE eERRYs
HI AND LOIS
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Let's see If you can decode
this sentence: THE jet was
making mach IL at 80 angels
when the fly boy, all hunched
up, made the break and for a
second thought he'd have to
hit the panic rack to avoid
blackout."
Well, this extraordinary
tongue, which sounds rather
like something out of a 25th-
century science-fiction story
actually is made up Of slang
and technical terms used by
today's military Jet pilots and
engineers. Now let's decode it.
Mach IL" refers to the speed
Of the paine. Did you know
that reference to the speed of a
supersonic airplane in conven-
tional "miles-per-hour" terms
CRATES on the ears Of a Jet pilot
Just as much as the phrase
+knots-per-hour" irritates a sea
captain? Indeed. to a modern
aviator "miles-per-hour" is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-09-10

nearly a meaningless term. He
is interested In the ratio Of his
speed in the air to the speed Of
sound and this he expresses BY
a mach number" For example.
"a plane flying at precisely the
speed Of sound is flying at
mach /. Speeds faster or slower
than the speed Of sound are ex-
pressed thus: Mach IL Cor
higher and mach 8 Cor lower)
"Thirty-two angels" tells the
altitude at which the plane Is
flying an "angel" being a unit
Of 1000 feet. The jet plane
mentioned above, therefore, Is
at $4,000 feet.
THE fly boy" is the pilot,
though any member OF the
crew in a large plane can be
so designated. "All hunched
up" means extremely nervous
and "the break" is a sharp turn
The panic rack" is the spe-
cial seat designed for Jet pilots
which, when a release lever Is
hit, elects the pilot-psrachute
and all - into space. And
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-09-10

"blackout." Of course, is loss Of
consciousness due to speed. air
pressure, centrifugal force and
other factors acting upon the
pilot under such circumstances.
To complete our DECIDING. the
sentence in layman's language
goes something like this: THE
Jet plane was going approx
mately 900 miles per hour at
1000 feet when the pilot, nerv-
Gus about the maneuver, made
a sharp turn and momentarily
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-09-10

thought he might have to eject
himself from the plane to avoid
losing consciousness"

West opened the queen Of
hearts. and declarer won in
dummy with the ace. He then
made the mistake of drawing
trumps with the ace and king.
Declarer continued by leading
q small diamond. West won
with the queen Of diamonds and
led the jack Of hearts to South's
king. South cashed the ace Of
diamonds and ruffed a diamond
IN dummy.
Now there was some problem
about getting to the South
hand. Declarer could not afford
to give UP a spade since the
defenders would promptly cash
their heart trick. Hence he led
q trump to the queen. South
then ruled another diamond in
dummy.
By this time declarer had only
one trump in dummy and one
in his hand. Even If he had
saved the deuce Of trumps in
dummy to lead to his own three,
|it would do no good. He had
to lose o heart and a spade as
wen as the diamond already
given up.
Start Diamonds
South should start the dia.
monds at the second trick. He
takes the ace of diamonds and
gives up a diamond at once.
The defenders knock out the
king Of hearts, and South
cashes the ace Of clubs, ruffs a
diamond with dummy's jack Of
clubs. and returns to his hand
with the king Of clubs. This
completes the job Of drawing
trumps, with the diamond work
well in hand.
South rufus one more dia-
mond In dummy. returns to his
hand with the queen Of clubs
and can lead the last diamond
in order to discard the last
heart from dummy. Since dunn
my still has q trump, this dis
card is useful. South gives up
one spade trick but doesn't lose
10 heart.
