District suffrage bobbed up
again at Senate hearings on
an anti-poll tax measure yes
terday.
Senator Case, Republican of
South Dakota, asked for a con-
stitutional amendment to let
Washingtonians vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President and
three delegates to the House.
He estimated his proposal
would enfranchise more citizens
than the separate amendment
to kill poll taxes in the five
States where they remain
Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Texas and Virginia.
This is the ultimate irony:
That the people who reside at
the seat of government for the
Nation that breaches to the
world about self-government
are denied any voice whatever
in their own government" he
told Senate Judiciary Subcom-
mitee Chairman Kefauver,
Democrat Of Tennessee.

The
Rambler
Never
Con Tell
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

In this business, you never
can tell what you are going
to get into.
And, II there's one thing
for sure, 1t is that you don't
want a retirement story.
But the Rambler bought
one yesterday.
Tom Gootee Of the Signal
Corps-which had a Tooth
birthday coming up - tele-
phoned.
Jack Wormcke is retir-
ing" Tom said. Been a pho
tographer with the Signal
Corps for 40 years. Photo
graphed every important
event in Washington during
that period"
That's how I happened to
meet Jack Wormcke yester-
day in the aforementioned
atmosphere Of the Press
Club. Knew him the minute
I saw him. I've been on To-
cation with him.
He's tall and slender and
ruddy-faced, and his hair is
white.
He had a wonderful story.
And this is what I mean
about you never know. 1t was
about his childhood in New
York.

processing garnishments in
aiding the collection of private
debts lis a misuse of time of
individuals paid from public
funds" the committee held.
1t was proposed that Virginia
make reciprocal agreement1
with other Jurisdictions for the
power to attach nonresident
bank accounts for tax enforce
ment purposes.
ut is believed that this would
be particularly helpful in the
Northern Virginia area where
the transient nature of the
population and the proximity
to other out-of-State jurisdic-
tons make it difficult to uti-
lie tax collection procedures
normally available" the COM
mittee. said.
The committee proposed that
the county be given authority
to condemn land for road con-
struction.

If Larry Lord Motherwell is

death of Mrs. Putney. the

AFTER GRADE SCHOOL

AFTER GRADE SCHOOL
Jack got a job as a messen-
ger with a law firm at Wall
and Broadway. His 'errands
took him into % Wall, and
he came to know (by sight
the elder J. P. Morgan.
HE had a big nose,' said
Jack. "He sat at a desk right
out on the floor of the bank
ing room-no secretaries or
receptionists to protect him.
I have heard that he didn't
need them because almost
everyone was afraid to APP
proach him. I was"
One of the partners in the
law firm got Jack to join the
athletic club OF st. Georges
Church on Stuyve SAINT
Square, a few blocks from
his Fifteenth street railroad
fiat.
He ran the half-mile TO,
st. Georges in the track
races at the old Madison
Square Garden and won sew
eral times. John Pierpont
Morgan was a member of st.
Georges parish. The Worm
ckeS were Lutherans. That
was Jacks only association
with the banker.
In 1914, his parents moved
to Jersey City. Jack said it
had become unsafe to walk
the streets at night in the
old neighborhood.
He got a job with the Uni
versal Motion Pictures stu
dio at Fort Lee, N. ]. When
the draft went into effect on
September "a, 1917, Jacks
number was the third drawn.
The next day he was in the
Army at Fort Dix.

Gated he was a photographer,
and he was sent to Washing
ton where he spent the war
making movies of surgeons
setting broken legs at Walter
Reed hospital.
Some of those films are
still in use," Jack said.
After the war, he went to
work with his camera as a
civilian employee of the Sig
nal Corps, and today, after
40 years and several months
and a 65th birthday, he is
retiring.

trict Committee Charm a r
Bible, Democrat of Nevada.
Competitive Bids
He has approved an amend
ment drafted to satisfy objec-
tons of Controller General Jo-
seph Campbell. The draft, pre-
pared by committee aides, calls
for competitive bids from con-
tractors who build the $4,000
seat arena planned on a site by
the Armory along the Anacos-
tia River shore.
The House bill would permit
a negotiated contract. Mr.
Campbell told Senate commit
teemen at a hearing August 10.
He saw no reason why the con-
Struction cannot be as well
accomplished on an open-hid
basis as by negotiation"
The major purpose of the
pending stadium legislation is
to empower the Interior De-
partment to spend up to SIG
million for parking lots and
access roads. The bill was writ
ten to meet another objection
Of Mr.. Campbell, who ruled last
year that existing law barred
Interior from spending any
money for stadium facilities.
The House is expected to be
asked by its District Commit
tee to accept the Senate amend
ment should it be tackled onto
the stadium bill. This would
save the bill from the dangers
of being snarled in conference

Jack was 6 years old at
the turn of the century, and
he remembers the middle
East Side well - Germans,
Irish and a few Italians.
Fairgrounds? No one had
ever heard of them. But
there was plenty of play.
Someone ought to do a
book on the games of the
children of New York, which
probably still are played on
side streets where the pass
ing OF an automobile or
truck is infrequent.
The ingenuity Of those
kids about games that can
be worked up with a piece Of
chalk and campaign buttons,
or pennies, or a tennis ball,
or an old felt hat is one of
those things that makes you
proud about being a men,
Der of the human race.
I'VE had a game with a
tin can" Jack said. "You
would flatten the can by
stepping on it and then kick
it around. I forget the rules"
He also described "Catty."
That was one-old-cat, which
all who were born in the last
century remember, where
ever we were brought up.
"You would take a broom
stick" said Jack. "Cut off a
piece about 4 inches long
and sharpen each end. Then
you would use the rest of the
broomStick as a bat. You
would hit the cat on one of
the sharpened ends and as
It hoped up in the air,
wham it. If you hit it right

Three-Week Scramble
1t promises to be a wide
open scramble to the end of
the season. If there's one thing
last week end seems to have
proved, it's that the old equal
izer has been at work and there
isn't a dominant team-or even
a dominant two or three-in

It's a field day for the top
ten pickers, and a case of sup
ply far exceeding the demand
for the plush spots in the ma

left to unscramble the bowl
picture, which looks like this

SUGAR BOWL - Georgia,

from the Southeast, which
doesn't commit its champion,
but usually sends it. For an
opponent there are the four
who don't win the Southeastern
title, plus Clemson, possibly the
Southwest runnerup, or SYRIA
