years of planning and experimenting by

WE DID NOT DANCE at
the hotel; jackets were de
Tigueur. There was no such
regulation at Taylor'S drug
store, where ice cream SodaS
were 10 cents. Three-fin-
gered Jack Brown from the
Albany night boat was play
ing the piano with fidelity
to rhythm if not to melody.
The price of the SodaS
seemed a little high. They
were S cents back home, but
that was without music.
But realiZationS of what
Lake Luzerne had has topped
anything the hotel brochure
writer could SuggeSt-clean
mountain air, the scent of
pine forest, the silence, eSpe-
cially at night while treading
the pine needles on the path
to our camp.
While only in the lower
mountains and not far from
Saratoga, it is an ideal
mountain lake. 1t is a head
water of the mighty Hudson.
The little stream from the
lake which tumbles through
the village enters the river
about half-mile away, which
at that point is no more
than a broad, shallow creek.
It's shape is similar to the
famed lake in Switzerland.
That's how it got its name.
And unlike larger and more
famous lakes further north
in the mountains, it's shore
line is almost entirely
wooded by a noble forest OF
pines and hardwood.
The post card brought back
all that and especially the
raft, which was not in the
picture. The raft, an excel
lent one with burlap mating
and a diving board, floated
on oil tanks, was placed
there by the hotel. AS the
hotel burned in the 20S, per-
haps it should not be sur
prising that the raft is gone.
But not from memory.
Padding his way to town in
a canoe one day, the writer
saw a very pretty girl on the
raft. She was a brunette. He
recognized her as a new
waitress at the hotel. And
she was wearing a one-piece
black bathing suit, something
that only Annette Keller
man wore in that day.
He Swerved from his course
and padded three times
around the raft. The third
time she said, go away!"
He should have realized
that he had an unlucky num-
Der. He was Is.

District officials said today a

Mr.. Harrison is a member of
the House Ways and Means
Committee, which is attempt

gram for financing federally
aided highway construction.
The full committee, which met
in closed session yesterday and
today, is expected to make a

It was understood the COM

PTA, passed among the crowd
passing out tea bagS-actually,
wilkins tea bags.
This was sort of the theme
of the march, or stroll. Pre-
viouSly, Boston reSid emit S
dumped some tea because they
were angry over the fact they
were taxed without representa-
ton. Today those wearing the
tea bags felt the same way.
Two persons showed up in
Colonial dress. They were Mrs.
Gordon Van Sanford, a PTA
leader, and Kilt Gillilland, 20,
son of the past president of
the PTA, John B. Gillilland.
Mr.. Gillilland, the father,
brought a public address sys-
tenn which helped four Con-
gressmen express their views on
home rule.
"Hit a Home Run"
Just before the "marchers"
went up to the hill, Represen-
tative Hechler, Democrat of
West Virginia, brandished a
baseball bat which carried the
signature of Jackie Robinson.
Waving the bat, he told the
crowd to hit a home run for
home rule"
There's your slogan" he
added.
Representative Wolf, Demo-
crat of Iowa, carried a book
on the Constitution of the
United States. Referring to
the book, he said it was a
great little old group of rules
and told the assembled they
had every right to assembly.
Mr.. Wolf urged District resi-
dents to get their freedom
peacefully" as India has done,
This is your baby" Mr..
Wolf told the crowd as he
urged them to fight for home
rule.

little chance OF demonstrating
before the legislators what
they wanted to demonstrate.
They were quickly lost in a
crowd of about 500 other
persons milling about the Dis
trict Committee hearing room.
Added to that, they were barred
from entrance because at least
100 more persons already were
in the room.
I'VE Want In"
At one point during the hear
ing, standees started the chant.
1--WE want in"
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat. of Georgia, who presided
at the hearings, sent a Capitol
policeman out of the hearing
room to quiet the crowd with
the threat he would suspend
the hearing.
The crowd was made up
largely of members of the PTA.
the League of Women Voters,
the Washington Home Rule
Committee and other civic or
CARNATIONS.
The caucus room Of the Old
House Building, one floor below
the home rule hearing, seats
about $50 persons but was
empty all morning.
Gather at $3.50
Earlier, about $50 am. the
group gathered in front of Bis
North Capitol street, the real
estate Office of C. Rhodes Cox,
husband of the president OF
the District PTA Congress.
Mrs. Cox, who had planned
the march for home rule, was
at that time going through
something that must have re-
Sembled hell. At her home,
her automobile refused to start.
AS she told the crowd later,
"it wouldn't even turn over"
She had to take a taxi.
Signs had been placed on
Mr.. Cox's Office and on Gus

he voted against home rule.
He said he understood how
Congressman, like Mr.. Davis,
might as well resign or give up
running again if they voted
for home rule.
The division in the House
over the question should be put
up TO members as an all-or-
nothing proposal, Mr. Multer
said. He added, however, that
he would be glad to COM
promise the gag rule in ex-
change for support of the bill.
Davis Rejects Idea
Mr.. Davis said the Multer
suggestion for softening the
gag was totally unacceptable"
Sitting through the complete
hearings before the 11-member
subcommittee were, besides Mr..
Mcmillan and Mr.. Davis, these
traditional opponents of home
rule:
Democratic Representatives
Williams of Mississippi, Mat
thewS of Florida, and Republic
can Representatives Kearns Of
Pennsylvania and Broyhill Of
Virginia.
Representatives Dowdy, DEM
ocrat of Texas, and Morris,
Democrat of New Mexico. also
understood to be opposed, lis
tened to part of the testimony.
The sole, undisputed sup
porter among subcommittee
men of the self-government
principle, Republican Repre-
sentative Auchincloss of New
Jersey, was absent.
Mr.. Broyhill, accepting the
constitutional bar to home
rule legislation, spoke up for
his alternate constitutional
amendment to give Washing
tonians a vote for President
and Vice President.

the Treasury to the highway
trust fund to permit repayment
to the States of interstate high
way construction now under

paid from highway use taxes
on gasoline, tires, trucks and
buses before new interstate
construction is authorized.
District Highway Director
Harold Aitken said that if Mr..
Harrison's proposal became
part of the highway financing
law, Washington would be left
with half finished freeways and
bridges.

Mr.. Aitken also pointed out
that work would stop on the
Southwest freeway.
only yesterday, officials
representing the District Re-
development Agency, the High
way Department and developers
of slum-cleared sections of
Southwest Washington agreed
that the freeway is literally
the backbone of the redevelop-
ment program" Mr.. Aitken
said. Financing of these
projects largely depends on
whether the freeway will be
finished" he added.
Maryland and Virginia also
have big stakes in the inter-
state program. 1t has been
estimated that a moratorium
such as was suggested by Mr.,
Harrison would halt work on
area projects totaling more
than $3.50 million, including
the Washington Circumferen-
tial Highway.

The
Rambler
-. Hates to
Get Post Cards
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Does anyone like to get
post cards in the heat Of the
Washington summer from
shore or mountains The
Rambler doesn't. OF late he
has had cards from Reno
both, Hungry Mother Lake,
the Gaspe Peninsula, Mays
Head. Eagles Mere, Cape Cod,
Banff and Lake Louise.
They bring out the cynic
in him. However worded, the
message is always the same,
"Wish you were here"
His cynicism probably is in
error. CyniciSm usually is.
But when you are sweating it
out at plus 80 you can read
wish you were here" as
"See how better off we are"
But not the card he got yes
terday from Lake Luzerne in

Bill Would Make D. G.
Nonsovereign' State

United States of America
The Texan explained local
residents would have the right
to vote for President and Vice
President and have at least
limited elected representation
in Congress,
He said that, for example,
the District might have only
one instead of two Senators,
with representation in the
House based on the numerical
population of the city.
Although still under the final
legislative authority of Con-
greSs, WaShingtonians would
have a say in choosing the
form of local government, Mr.
league went on.
Lack of Vote Foolish"
Il think it's foolish that the
people of the District cannot
vote for President and Vice
President" Mr.. league said
He added at the same time he
is mot necessarily" in favor OF
home rule for residents.

sovereign State" concept was
applied to the District Mr..
NoyeS testified at length in its
support.
He said he was aware that
some would regard the propo-
sition as a "shock" to the Con-
stitution. But, he continued,
the real shock is so much less
than that imagined that it is
possible to conceive the ad-
mission of such a State without
any amendment to the Consti-
tuition at all"
Mr.. Moves pointed out the
Constitution does not declare
all American communities rep
resented as States" in Con-
gress must be on precisely the
same footing and shaped in
identically the same mold. 1t
does provide, he emphasized,
that no State without its con-
sent" be deprived of equal suf-
frage in the Senate.
Question Raised
Mr.. NoyeS, teStifying at a
Senate hearing, then raised
these questions:
Does not this provision i'm
ply that a State may with it's
consent be deprived of its
equal suffrage in the Senate;
for instance, that the District
as a new State for purposes
of representation may consent
to unequal representation in
the Senate, as for example one
Senator instead of two?
And if a State with its con-
sent lack the important at
tribute of equality of represen-
tation in the Senate, may it not
also with its consent lack some
other attributes of a sovereign
State, and still exist as a State
under the constitutional pro-
visions in regard to congress
Sional representations"
Mr.. NoyeS pointed out that
Congress under its power to ad-
nit new States has given the
Federal territories certain con-
greSSional representation as
embryo States" not recognized
at all by the Constitution in
prescribing the makeup of the
National Legislature.
He concluded that with its
powers concerning admission Of
new States, coupled with it,

ritorieS and with the power ir
each House to judge the quail.
fications of its own members
Congress could admit to rep.
resentation in itself a non
sovereign State, intermediate
between the territory and the
full f1edged State"
The bill introduced by Mr.
league was referred to the
House District Committee, cur
rently holding hearings on con-
troversial home rule legislation

Maryland and Virginia have
stopped letting new contracts
until the Federal highway pic
ture clears and the District has
adopted a "go-sloW" policy.
Would Slow Planning
Mr.. Aitken and other high
way officials in the area fear
that a moratorium on new con-
tracts would also slow planning,
so that even at the expiration
of the 17-month period there
would be a long delay while
highway departments prepared
plans.
A national highway official
said that shutting down the
pipeline will destroy highway
building organizations, both
public and private"
He said it takes about 81
months to prepare highway
plans from the time the eX-
penditure is authorized by the
Government. You have to add
that time to the moratorium"
he said.
The Ways and Means Com
mittee also was reported ready
to vote today on a motion by
Representative Baker, Repub-
lican of Tennessee, proposing a
one-cent increase in the motor
fuel tax for the 1860 fiscal year.
with the increase scaled down
to one-half cent in 1861 and
1862.
The administration is asking
for a Lucent increase.
112-Cent Plan Opposed
A large majority of the COM
mittee repeatedly opposes a
cent increase of that kind. But
a compromise suggestion for a
half-cent increase is UNDER
stood to have gained ground.
This would bring in about $3.50
million in additional revenue.
The committee is considering
several other moves, such as a
further suspension of the pay
as-you-go requirement and the
use of some general fund reve-
Inues. The administration has
opposed such moves.

THE PICTURE SIDE of the

THE PICTURE SIDE of the
card showed Lake Luzerne in
blue, a tiny island with
tawny grass and four green
pineS-in the background a
low mountain and fleecy
clouds on an azure sky.
In the message space on
the other side:
Hi, Walt Flagg."
The writer can't be cynical
about that. He knows that
Walt isn't putting it all over
him. Walt wants him there,
not because it is hot here,
and comfortable there except
on some afternoon when the
temperature gets to a Scan-
dalous "a. Walt wants him
there because we could re-
live our youth.
I can't testify about his.
He was older when we first
met; five years older and he
still is. But that post card
brings back memories about
mine. Right in front of that
island was a raft. On the
shore to the left of the island
was the WaySide Inn.
Long before arrival at Lake
Luzerne, the hotels brochure
assured that the lake would
be a fascinating place: bath
ing, boating, fishing-the
seven pound brook trout
caught in the inlet-the
dancing every night in the
hotels casino.
The promise seemed ex-
travagant; it might have
turned out so to more expe-
rienced visitors. Trout had
not been caught in the inlet
for years and the seven
FOUNDER seemed to be more
tradition than history. If
there were trout, the writer
wouldn't have known how to
catch them even with the
flies a fond father had
packed in the luggage.
He did get some pickerel
by trolling along the shore,
line and that was exciting.

Rules Committee. headed by
a foe of home rule, Representa-
tive Smith. Democrat of Vir-
ginia, who also is on the House
District Committee.
Most Stringent Gag"
Earlier, Mr.. Smith, and to-
day, Mr.. Davis, attacked the
rule as one of the most Strin-
gent gags" ever proposed to
limit House debate. 1t provides
that the 83-page territorial
home rule bill may be debated
for only one hour. Only spon-
sors can suggest amendments,
and their amendments cannot
be amended under the pro-
posal.
Mr.. Davis pressed Mr.. Multer
to change the ground rules I'M
der which a territorial bill, if
discharged from the Committee,
would be discussed on the floor.
"A discharge petition with a
closed rule is as much a part
of the legislative process as is
the committee system" Mr..
Multer insisted. Most respect
fully, we had a choice between
an open and a closed rule. We
decided that under an open
rule opponents would talk the
bill to death"
Davis Argues Point
Mr.. Davis said he thoroughly
disagreed with the New York
Congressman. This autocratic
gag rule would completely
eliminate the voice of the

tion," the Georgia Congress-
man insisted.

well resign or decide against

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20
(AP).-The Braves grabbed
back the National League lead
from San Francisco today with
Ia Al victory behind Giant
killer Lew Burdette's f1ve-hit-
ter.
Milwaukee ended the Giants
stay in the top spot after only
III hours. The Braves began
pecking away against Nike
Mccormick with a run in the
second and never were headed.
Joe Adcock. tapped securely
to protect pulled muscles, re-
turned to the Braves lineup
and belted his fifth homer Of
the year. a 380-foot solo clout
into the leftfleld pavilion in the
fifth inning.
No. IL for Burdette
A capacity crowd of 22,905
watched Burdette notch his
18th victory of the season and
his 14th over the Giants in his
last is tries against them.
The Giants escaped a shutout
in the eighth when Willie Mays
doubled home Willie Kirkland,
who had walked.
The triumph put the Braves
Ia half-game ahead of the
Giants with the finale of the
three-game series coming up
tomorrow.
Burdette became the object
! Of boos and jeers in the fourth
inning after sliding into Second
Baseman Daryl Spencer and
ripping the inf1elder's britches.
Taken as Retaliation
Spencer last year knocked
down Milwaukee's second base
man. Mel Roach. with a hard
slide and San Francisco fans
took Burdette's maneuver as
retaliation.
The Braves scored in the
second on Del Crandalls dou-
BILE and Johnny Logan's single
IAN error and Burdette's single
