RichIund School Mon.

The first big step toward the
realization of the Little Red

a National Shrine for the Eastern
Star, came about Monday, when

the brick structure that is the birth

the Board of SUPERVISORS.
Chancery Clerk Parham H. Will
liams accepted a bid of $755.O0 for
the buildings from Aileen Scar
brough, colored, Monday at Rich
land.
The buildings have been used
for several years as a colored
school but with the consolidation
of that school with Lexington, the
Board of Supervisors had ordered
the wooden structures to be sold
and to be torn down by August 1.
The Eastern Star is expected to
lease the original brick building for
Is years for the purpose of re-
storing it and making a National
Shrine in honor of Robert Morris,
the founder of the organization.
It was here that Mr.. Morris
while teaching school, originated
the idea for founding the Eastern

Holmes
BY Chester Marshall

In this issue of the Herald you
will notice a number of advertise
mentS for State and local candi-
dates, along with news releases
from some of the candidates ex-
planning their platforms.
1t is our desire to give our read
erS a complete picture of the poll
teal campaign which will be CHM
axed with the primary elections
this summer, through the columns
of this paper.
Many of the candidates represent
ed in this issue of the Herald will
be in Lexington on July 4th to
speak during the big rally and
barbecue which is being sponsored
by the VIEW. One of the largest
crowds ever to attend a political
rally in Lexington is expected to
be on hand for the au-day event,
so why not join the crowd, come
on up and hear first hand what
the candidates have to say.
Sample copies of the Herald are
being sent to voters in the county
who are not our regular subscrib-
ers this week for the express pur-
pose of inviting them out to the
big rally and barbecue on July
4th, and to give them a better pic
ture of the political issues at stake
in the present campaign.
Again we would like to say that
the Herald viii not take sides"
in the political campaign this
summer, either for state or local
candidates. Ours will be the policy
of informing our readers of the is
sues at stake on a strictly impair
tial basis. Our columns will be
open to all candidates to express
their views to the public.
The merchants of Tchula are put
ting on an ambitious Community
Bargain Days event which will
start Friday, June Is and last
through July 3rd. Many of these
merchants are offering red-hot
specials during these Bargain Days.
Read their ads in this issue of the
Herald and you'll see what we
mean.
Leo Alderman brought to our
attention this week the fine work
the Highway Department crew has
done in cleaning off the road banks
out on Carrollton Street. 1t is quite
an improvement. And while we're

,Freewuy to Cost
D. c. $4S9,OOO
In Potomac Park

The impact Of the Southwest
freeway construction on rec
reational facilities in East Po-
tomac Park will cost the
District about $489,000.
The major item is the reloca-
ton Of the SO tennis courts in
path of the freeway.
The Commissioners yesterday
agreed to a 5000 maximum
compensation payment to Ma
tional Capital Parks.
A spokesman for the parks
agency said that 16 of the
tennis courts will be relocated
in East Potomac Park, to the
south of the present location.
A decision has not been made
on the remaining 20, he said,
although they may be added to
the Rock Creek courts near the
Carter Baron Amphitheater.
Other costs to the park
agency from the highway work
include minor remodeling of
the golf course along with land
scaping items.
The Southwest freeway will
cross the Washington Channel
Bridge, which is now under
construction and cut diagonally
through East Potomac Park to
connect with the Fourteenth
street bridges.

The newsman asked what made
the transfer more desirable now
than a year ago.
The two officials pointed out
that the Army group now is
involved to a much greater
degree in pure space work than
1t was a year ago. To this OBJ
servation, DR.. York added his
comment that II think it
should have been done a year
ago."
Mr.. Horner was asked to pro-
vide a timetable" in connec-
ton with the transfer of the
Won Braun group. He said that
studies were now being insti-
tuted to formulate a plan for
the transfer. and pointed out
that the law requires a full
report of the proposed transfer
to be submitted to Congress
and then allows that body go
days to study the proposal be-
fore it becomes final.
Both DR.. York and Mr.. Horner
insisted that there would be no
interference" in the program
as result of the waiting
period.
The Saturn program looks
forward to the eventual design
and construction of suitable
upper stages which could boost
really heavy loads into space.
Mr.. Horner pointed out that,
as an example, Saturn "ulti-
mately should produce a capa-
bility of placing Is to Is tons
in a low (300-mile) orbit"
Smaller loads could be placed
at greater heights and lesser
amounts could be sent to the
moon, around the moon or into
deep space, according to the
capabilities of the upper stages.

Any Misconduct
In u Street Row

A Washington police patrol
man today emphatically denied
to a trial board charges that
he moleSted a woman, mall
treated a prisoner and lied to
a superior, on October 4, as
stated yesterday to the board
by IL witnesses.
The officer. Pvt. Frederick L.
Gibson of the 18th precinct,
who lives at 1898 North Dun

compliments. A station clerk
on duty in the precinct at the
time of the incident said none
of the witnesses brought into
the precinct stated at the time
he was booked that Pvt. Glib
son had done anything wrong.
The charges grew out of sew
eral arrests and disorderly

at a home in the TOO block of
U street NV. The board,
headed by Deputy Chief Robert
S. Bryant, is expected to reach
a decision this evening or to-
morrow.
One of witnesses appearing
yesterday, Maize M. Jackson,
46, who occupies the house,
said Pvt. Gibson came into the
home about 6 am, rubbed his
hands over the face of Mrs.
jackson, her daughter and a
woman friend, then blew ciga-
rette smoke at them
Mrs. Jackson also testified
that Pvt. Gibson woke up sew
eral sleen'no ner - the
home. cutting a shirt button
off one of them with a knife,
the cause of the maltreatment
charge. The lying charge was
based on alleged statements
made about the arrest by Pvt.
Gibson to his superiors. The
molesting incident occurred
when one of the women, left
behind at the house, was re-
visited by Pvt. Gibson while
the rest were at the precinct
being booked.
