SEND A KID TO CAMP
Oyerprotected Boy
Finds Turning Point

Camp was a milestone for
one over-protected little boy
last year.
Nine-year-old Arthur is a
rheumatic fever victim. It left
him unable to take part in
strenuous sports.
And his widowed, harassed
mother, who worries all day
about her children's welfare
while she is out earning their
living, coddled Arthur.
He was not q happy boy. nor
q popular one. He badgered
other children, and was a
chronic failure in school.
Then Arthur went to camp.
He couldn't take part in
strenuous sports there, but he
discovered other talents he
never dreamed he had.
He found he loved arts and
crafts. He made many things,
including bracelets and belts,
and also did water colors.
{ The ranger in Prince William
Forest Park where Camp
Pleasant is located took a spe-
cial interest in Arthur and
taught him how to make a
nature scrapbook. The boy
Learned how to preserve butter
flies. how to collect and display
leaves.
Arthur has been cutting out
pictures relating to the out
doors all winter long, waiting to
go back to camp.
He began to do well in school
this year for the first time. And
he now tries to take part
in as many activities as his
health permits, instead of be-
ing a harassing bystander.
Arthur found a new lease or
life because interested adults
at camp showed him the way
last year, and other interested

Congress had passed the

About two years later, he

appealed to the Civil Service
Commission, asking if a ca
reer employe with IS years

higher for purposes Of re-
tention than one with five
years. His appeal was denied
in October, 1858.
BY this time, he was in the
hospital. His heart mad be-

an application for a re-

widow would continue to re-
ceive after his death. He died
before the application was
filed.
The widows application
for the annuity was denied,
Instead, she was sent a check
for $1,066.69, as a lump sum
payment. She did not cash
the check. She appealed to

Buried beneath one Of
Georgetown's most fashionable
streets are important Defense
Department secrets.
An electronics computer CEN

of the recent Pentagon fire.
The work that was necessary
in preparing the below-street
level of the d. C. Transit, Inc,
ONCE building where the new
electronics center is located has
not pleased everybody.
Home Owner Complains
One complaint has been made
by the owner Of historic Pros
pect House, a Georgetown land
mark built in 1888.
The owner, Mrs. Thurmond
Chatham. Washington socialite.
said she discovered cracks in
the walls Of her home last week
while construction workers were
drilling next door in prepara-
ton for the Pentagon's move.
The situation was brought to
the transit company's atten-
ton yesterday. Well-known
Washington Criminal Attorney
Edward Bennett williams, a
close personal friend, is ham
dlihg the matter for her.
At the time she discovered
the damage. Mrs. Chatham
said. transit company workmen
were drilling the street and
making Office renovations on
the third floor of the D. C.
Transit headquarters.

Workmen started around

two days after the July 3 fire
at the Pentagon caused Air
Force officials to seek space for
their disrupted, electronic COM

The construction work. which
one observer said was carried
on at a fantastic pace" ended
Monday when IBM operations
were begun in the renovated
quarters. Estimated cost Of the
remodeling and air condition

quarters was placed at 100000,

Mrs. Chatham said she was
in bed on July Z. when she
heard her second floor bedroom

discovered other long cracks in

she said.
To Call In Experts

| Mrs. Chatham is the widow
of the Democratic Representa-

served eight years in the House

Chatham was q wealthy textile

The Chathams purchased
Prospect House when the State
Department relinquished it

been used to house visiting

...Tukes Note of
Sonnubend v. U. S.
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

We get so accustomed to
this atmosphere of rules and
regulations in which we live
that we are almost ready to
accept as a truism the old
gag that ours is a govern
ment of lawyers, not Of men,
Theirs is not to reason
why; theirs is but to follow
the code as amended.
Once in a while, this nom
discretionary system results
in unconscionable unfair
ness. Reasonable, humane
men feel bound to take &C
tons which they know are
not right because it is the
law"
Elsie G. S0nnabend versus
the United States is a case
in point. 1t was decided by
the Court of Claims Wednes-
day and an account Of it by
Howard Dutkin, The Stars
court reporter, was carried in
this paper.
The plaintiff is the widow
of Henry F. Sonnabend, a
civil service employe of 80
years standing, who was re-
tired from the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau on a physical
disability in June, 1850.
At that time he was a GS-
IL, a grade which then paid
$500.
In accordance with civil
service regulations, he was
given a medical examination
a year after his retirement.
The Government medical ex-
aminer concluded that he
WAS able tn return to work.
On October /, 1851, he re-
turned to the same job,
grade, Office, desk and super
visor, and was reaSSigned
some of the cases he had
been working on.

Discounts Fear
OF D. c. Control

District Commissioner Robert
e. Mclaughlin feels the city's
Negroes would not control local
affairs under home rule.
Guessing that the city's Negro
population could reach so per
cent in the near future, he said
yesterday that the Negro lead
ership probably would prevent
any attempt at dominating
local politics.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, speaking
to members of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, said
he was thrilled" over the
exercise Of civic responsible
Iity" demonstrated in past years
by the city's Negro leaders.
He added that he felt there
would be no third party or
ganized to represent the Negro
population. Rather, he said,
their votes would be evenly dis
tributed among the two major
parties.
He said Negroes were moving
into the city at a smaller rate
than whites and pointed to re-
development as a method of
keeping the city the way it is
now"
Considers Future
Asked If he entertained any
notions of becoming the presi-
dentially appointed mayor" or
governor" under several home
rule propositions, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said he was finding
municipal affairs and manage
ment interesting and that the
thought suggests itself"
The president of the Board
of Commissioners favors a ter
Iritorial form of government
with a governor appointed by
the President and an elected
15-member legislative assembly
Other points touched on by
Mr.. Mclaughlin in his home

Burlington Hotel, we're:
Home rule would relieve
members of Congress of a num-
Der of minor administrative de-
tails which rise in connection

and free them for more i'm

to progress in the city.
