We live in a world of constantly chan
ms times. Changes have figured promin-
entity: in our lives, especially in recent
years. Most Of these changes have cone
about naturally anG for definit to reasons.
The Navy especially could not have re-
manned the world power that it is if it
had resisted change, both II ma terial and
procedures Yet,we, as individuals, must
use caution that We do not instigate
changes fer the sake Of change alone
1t is only human to want to change a
task:so- that it is more readily identif-
led with you rather than your predicess-
or. Toe frequently these changes are made
SO that they will call attention to you
ra Their than to. improve the method Of ac-
conplishing q given assignments
It is also human to resist the chang
ing: Of the old ways This is especially
important to remember if there are men
In your charge who have been doing their
job we'll. Analyze the job to be done and
the methods used to accomplish it's you
feel that you can do it more efficiently
then by all means iastigate a change If
not, perhaps then the job itself can te-
ach you some thing.
Listen to the suggest Ons Of both the
men under you and your superiors Perhaps
their observations are more OBJ jective
than yours and you can profit from them.
good Leader is capable Of accepting adj
vice and putting it to good use.
Acknowledgement changes should be gradual
and we'll planned. Think them out first.
Remember that, in the US. Navy, the word
is nevoluti on", not "revolution'.

District Vote TRY
Fails in House

An effort to give District
residents a vote for President
and Vice President as part of
the civil rights bill failed in
the House yesterday.
Representative Bow, Republic
can of Ohio, proposed to amend
the rights measure to provide
suffrage for District citizens
eligible to vote for national
political convention delegates.
Representative Walter, Demo-
crat of Pennsylvania, who was
presiding, ruled the amend
ment out of order.
Mr.. Bow said today he was
shocked" at reports that his
move was a delaying tactic.
THE only thing that will be
delayed is the right of District
citizens to vote" he said. II

rights bill, even though I OBJ

amendment as germane to the

AU Senior
Expelled in
Morals Case

An American University SEN
ior. only three academic hours
short of his degree, was expell-
ed and a sophomore suspended
for a year after a Fairfax
father reported his 13-year-
old daughter had been involved
in tryst at the Alpha Sigma Phi
fraternity house.
Hurst r. Anderson, president
Of American University, said
the actions were taken upon the
recommendation Of q student
faculty discipline committee
He said the social privileges of
Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity
also were revoked.
MIR. Anderson refused to iden-
tify the youths or give the de-
tails Of the incident. He would
say only that the students
broke q campus rule.
However. Fairfax police noti-
fed District police that the
father of a 13-year-old girl re-
ported she had spent Saturday
night at the fraternity house.
Capt. John L. Sullivan of the
District Sex Squad said the
senior, %. admitted trying to
have sex relations with the l3-
year old girl but was unsuccess-
ful. The sophomore lent the
senior his car to pick up the
girl, but was not otherwise in
volved, as far as police know
now. d..
No criminal charges have
been filed. Capt. Sullivan said
he still had many leads to run
down before his investigation

OKs Name in
D. c. Primary

Senator Humphrey, Democrat
Of Minnesota. has taken the
formal step necessary for entry
in the District presidential pref
erence primary election May 8.
In a letter yesterday to A. L.
Wheeler, chairman of the Dis
trict Democratic Central CON-
mittee. Senator Humphrey au-
thorized the use of his name
on the Democratic ballot.
Under the rules of the Board
Of Elections a presidential can
didate must give his written
consent before a political party
can submit his name for entry
on the ballot.
To comply with this ruling,
Mr.. Wheeler wrote letters to
Adlai E. Stevenson and to Sem
ators Humphrey: Moser, Demo-
crat Of Oregon; Johnson of
Texas. Kennedy of MaSsachu-
sets and Symington OF Mis-
souri, asking If they wanted
their names entered in the
primary here.
Senator Morse had previ-
ously given his consent. How
ever, Mr.. Wheeler has reported
to the Board of Elections that
Mr.. Stevenson and Senators
johnson and Symington have
declined to give approval fol
use of their names in the Dis
trict primary.
Mr.. Wheeler has not noti-
fed the Board of Elections il
any reply has been received
from Senator Kennedy. How
ever, Senator Kennedy has said
previously that he does not in.
tend to enter the District pri-
mary.
Therefore, only Senators
Humphrey and Morse are ex-
pected to fight it out in the
Democratic presidential pre-
ference contest here.
There will be no presidential
preference question on the Re-

Senator Beall, Republican of
Maryland, today arnasSed tes-
timony before a legislative
committee in an 11th-hour at
tempt to win back Federal aid
shaved from the stream valley
park program in Maryland.
Area witnesses unanimously
supported a bid fo : SIG million
in loans and grunts to help
buy parklands in Montgomery
County.
Specifically, they were called
to testify on the Beall bill to
increase the authorization for
Federal spending for parks
from Sis million to $4.5 million
in grants and from So million to
So million in loans. But the
timing of the hearing before
the Senate District Subcommit-
tee was geared to rescuing the
deleted SIG million request for
parks this year, which is now
before the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee. The House
and a Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee already has dis
allowed the parks item.

was designed primarily to pre-
vent floods and soil erosion.

Congress recently has au-

memorating this service,

Despite the size of the book,
his answer was surprising.
There must be more than

"All Mudds?" I asked in

per-Cramton funds. But he
wanted to stress that the APP
preparations Subcommittee cut
had endangered the entire pro-
gram for Northern Virginia, as
well.
"Our major concern is not
necessarily this years appro-
priation. but the fact that the
entire act and purpose upon
which the act originally was
established suddenly has be-
come questionable" he said.
Called "Short- Sighted"
For the past several years,
Congress has supported an en-
gineering study of the Potomac
River aimed at preventing poll
luton and flooding. 1t seems
very "short-sighted" to propose
conservation programs on one
hand. he said, and to cut back
appropriations to prevent ero-
sion of the potomac River Basin
on the other hand.
Mr.. Nicholson pointed out
that Maryland had co-operated
with the Federal Government
since 1880, in comparison with
Virginia's entry into the pro-
gram in 1852. In that time,
Maryland has acquired 4,700
acres of land, $500 acres of
which is in the stream valley
system.
Thus. Maryland's park pro-
gram planned by area officials
is go per cent complete. Mr..
Nicholson said. With passage
of the Beall bill and the APP
preparation stalled in commit
tee, Maryland could acquire
some $500 acres and finish the
job.
Finley Testifies
William E. Finley, director OF
the National Capital Planning
Commission, reminded the sub
committee that local govern
ments pay two-thirds of land
cost under the Capper-Cram-
ton Act. and cover maintenance
costs forever.
This really is a very good
deal for Uncle SAM" he said.
Opponents of the program
cry economy, he noted. But he
Siad it was a strange argument
when an economy-minded ad-
ministration had recommended
continued Federal spending.
The program will enhance
the value of these suburban
areas, where so per cent of the
Federal employees in the WASH
ington area live, he insisted.
