Juvenile Court to the National

President Eisenhower today
signed a supplemental appro-
priation bill providing nearly
$2.8 billion in funds for Fed
eral agencies and the District
for the rest of the fiscal year
ending June 80.
The compromise appropria-

Also provided for the District is
a IS million supplemental Fed

The extra funds will avert

which were threatened orig

part of the cut was restored
last week in a House-Senate
conference.

Later IN the book, 1853

tries of deaths from gum
shot wounds. And a dozen
deaths from an explosion in
one of the forts guarding
Washington. They were en-

They are buried on the other

Most of those who were
courageous enough to at
tempt the move became rec
onciled, but there we're puz-
elements.
One woman asked about
the Yankee cemetery. Her
question was:
Why had the New York
Yankees chosen such a dis
tant spot to bury their play
ers?
This yankee cemetery"
IN Alexandria has rows of
the same headstones which
mark the graves in Arling-
ton. The grass between the
stones is a splendid lawn
recently clipped. And there
are trees. One is a willow
oak, its bole more than three
feet thick, one of the most
splendid oaks I have ever
seen.
Samuel Davis, the superin-
tendent, got out the original
entry book. He was able to
answer the Rambler's queS-
tons cleaned from head
stones. Benjamin Holt of
the New York State Volun-
teers, who had died at the
age of 10 on February 10,
1862, and Cornelius r. SUI
ydam, who had died on De-
cember 6, 1852, were both
victims of natural causes.
Although he has lived
through two wars, the Ram
bier was ndive enough to
ask what engagement took
the lives of these two young
men. He should have known
better. When YOU assemble
an army of thousands of
men, even young men, many
are going to die from other
than bullets.

disposing on condemnation

of District projects in the

to the court to speed up the

summer recess for the court

Col. Fullerton explained that
the big bottleneck is a viewing
of the condemned properties by
juries. Once this is done, he
said, the District could begin
its project, even though the
cases were not settled in court.
AS an example, he said, the
District has money and designs
all ready to build a new police
and fire station at Fourth and
E streets S.W. Condemnation
was filed on that tract last Sep

pened since. He said numerous
other projects of a similar ma
ture involve Southwest high

hind that no RIA Jury view

year.

peal to the court and said he
thought the court also should
be asked to take no summer
vacation this. year in view of
the crisis. He said he knew Of

Hayter, Il decided to go to the
West Coast where I enrolled in
pre-iaw at the University Of
Southern California in 1922.
In Los Angeles. Mrs. Hayter
was invited to q party aboard
the battleship Arizona where
she met her husband. Hubert,
a 1924 graduate Of the Naval
Academy. Married on April 8.
1926. the young naval wife put
away thoughts Of q college de-
gree.
The battleship Arizona again
became a milepost in Mrs. Hay
ter's life. She watched it
bombed to the bottom Of Pearl
Harbor from her Honolulu
apartment window on Decem-
Der 2. 1941. Her husband was
on duty in the harbor, but sur
vived the attack.
On November 80, 1912, in
one of the final sea battles Of
Guadalcanal, her husband was
killed in action aboard the de-
stroyer New Orleans. He was
awarded a Navy Cross, which
Mrs. Hayter accepted in his
behalf.
Mrs. Hayter later christened
q destroyer. USS Hayter, named
for her husband.
The growing Hayter children
kept Mrs. Hayter busy for some
time thereafter.

While living in Baltimore in |,
1857 with her mother and
sister, Mrs. Hayter decided to
take a few evening courses in
history at the University Of
Maryland's Baltimore campus. |
Il was sick and tired Of vast
ing my time at bridge parties"
said Mrs. Hayter, so added
up my credits and found that
I needed only one year of full
time school to get my degree
something I've always wanted"
Mrs. Hayter calls the past
year "a golden one" She has
lived with eight co-eds at
College Park.
1.-THE girls in the house con-
slider me as a schoolmate and
not a chaperon and that's the
way I want it to be-" Mrs.
Hayter said.
Maintains 'B" Level
During the 1858 fall semes-
ter, Mrs. Hayter buckled down
to college life with an 1S-
credit hour load. She earned
a. high "B" average for the |
semester, and signed up for
10 heavy 20-credit hour load
for the spring semester. She
still managed to keep her

Mrs. Hayter is a member OF

with that of the Roaring '20s,
Mrs. Hayter said 1859 students
work harder and take a more

adds, are much more interest
