it as a personal loss and see not

Some Of these are tall people

they could read on streetcars
but become queasy if they read
on buses. Many are just plain
in love with the Cabin John line
and always will be.
Stronger Forces
But stronger forces have pre-
vailed. BY writing in the pro-
vision in D. C. Transit's fran
chise that is must convert to
an all-bus operation, Congress
went along with experts who
have said buses are cheaper,
more maneuverable and easier
on the motorist anxious for
more of a flow in his traffic.

The feeling of personal loss
that many will experience for
the vanished streetcars can take
many forms.
There was a time, for exam

When the streamliner came

Welfare Council of the Ma
tional Capital Area, claimed
their proposals were made in
the face Of "adamance" and re-
fusal to compromise on the
part of UGF and HWC.
Determined to conduct a
limited supplementary appeal
next month that Is still
broader than one which UGF
and HWC approved, the scouts
suggested that:
/. The appeal be conducted
by them in the name of UGF
with contributions designated
to the Boy Scouts.
2. Any money raised beyond
the total of $173.000 the Scouts
seek would go to other UGF
agencies, with an explanatory
statement on the pledge form
to that effect. The Scouts say
they need the extra money to
meet operating needs.
The proposals were for
warded to Charles E. Phillips.
president of the United Givers
Fund.
Phillips Doubts Compromise
Mr.. Phillips said last night
he had received the material
from the Boy Scouts but had
not had the opportunity to
read it.
He said the proposals as
described to him don't seem
to answer the question at all" 4"
The United Givers Fund stands
for one campaign a year, he
said, adding he could not see
the point of conducting an
other campaign in the name of
UGF. In that case, he said,
the second Scout proposal
would be irrelevant.
Mr.. Phillips said he "sees
no room for compromise at
all"-on the basic issue revolv-
ing around the fact that a
supplemental campaign can
only be conducted by a local
agency with the approval of
the Health and Welfare Coun-
Gil.
Last year. UGF turned down
a similar suggestion by the
Red Cross, prior to its sup
Elementary appeal, for which
it reserved the right when 1t
entered UGF.
Philip Larner Gore, president
Of the National Capital Area
Council. Boy Scouts of Amer
lea. told a press conference he
felt the whole matter never
had been properly discussed by
the United Givers Fund board.
Not a Direct UGF Member
In the last six months we
have never had a conversation
with the board or any commit
tee Of the United Givers Fund, "
Mr.. Gore said. I'VE are only a
'derivative member of UGF.
We feel we should be direct
members of UGF."
Mr.. Gore said he felt the
Scouts should be admitted
directly to UGF as a national
organization as the Red Cross
is, with a direct agreement
with UGF before the campaign
as to the amount of money
they can expect.

On the morning of July IA
1887, the people of Washington
had the uneasy feeling that
something was wrong.
1t was too quiet.
Then they remembered.
The horses that pulled the
street cars had had a set ot
small bells attached to Their
harness. The bells jingled tc
warn of their approach. But
on that summer day in 1887
they had been ordered silenced
The reason may be contained
in the remarks of DR.. William
Tindall in an address before
the Columbia Historical Society
80 years later.
DR.. Tindall said: THE use
of these bells was discontinued

of the Commissioners. 1t

TENNIS TALK
BY A. C. SMITH

Caspar Names, well known
Washington tennis enthusiast
and one Of the better senior
players. has written a book en-
titled, Politics in the American
Drama" Published yesterday
by the Catholic University OF
America Press, the book has
enjoyed excellent early reviews.
Allen Drury, author Of advise
and Consent" has written the
Iforeword.
Not many of the present day
crop Of players remember when
Caspar was a threat to any
man in the Second Ten. In the
early sos his booming forehand
and twisting service earned him
victories over many of the best
players in the East. Likewise
little known is that Caspar is
entitled to be called DR.
Names. Holder Of ABB. MA,
and Phi D. degrees, he was a
professor for several years in
Eastern and Mid-western uni
versities before establishing
residence in Washington.
Donna Floyd swept into
Forest Hills last week with
the hurricane force Of heI
namesake. Donna became the
first player in the history OF
this section to reach the semi
finals of the National Women'S
Championship. En- route, she
bounced two seeded players out
of the tournament. First to
fall was Karen Hantze, the
brilliant teen-ager from Cali

Donna is only a teen-agel

HUNTING
and
FISHING
BY CHARLES COvELL

What will Donna have done
to the fishing? 1t seems to be
anybody's guess.
If a hurricane hits with
enough force to tear up clam
and oyster beds and other
natural feeding grounds and
perhaps even change the shore
line as it did in New England
in 1888, then the fishing suffers.
Sometimes, though, the ocean
currents set up may have a
beneficial effect. Aycock Brown
Swears that after Cleo the fish,
ing improved off North Caro-
lina's Outer Banks.
1t certainly is conceivable
that the currents would stir
up more food and very likely
change the whole pattern of
fishing.
Unfortunately, no real re-
search apparently has been
conducted Fish and Wildlife
says it knows of none nor
does DR.. Leonard P. Schultz,
curator of fishes at the Smith
sonian.
Before Donna, fishermen had
been getting blues and Spanish
mackerel inshore from More
head City to Oregon Inlet. The
fishing had improved consider
ably after a so-so season in
the Hatteras area.
OffShore, one blue marlin had
been taken by a boat out of
Oregon Inlet during the pre-
ceding week and white marlin
and sailfish also were biting.
Anglers who fished out OF
ocean City Sunday before the
hurricane hit had a good day
Some 25 white marlin were
boated.

The National Park Service
has finally awarded the con-
tract for construction Of the
new courts at Hams Point. The
Washington firm of Helsing
Bros. was the low bidder against
such nationally known builders
Of courts at the Har Tru Corp.
and Feise g. Co. Helsing has
built some courts locally, mainly
hard courts.
According to Helsing, the
firm may buy Har-Tru ma
terials and build the 10 fast
drying composition courts of
this material. The six hard
courts will be of the Laykold
type. This is a bituminous sur
facing widely used for all
weather courts.
The contract calls for the
courts to be ready for play
within go days. This would have
them completed about Novem-
ber is. 1t is hoped that the
Park Service will not allow play
on the composition courts until
next spring. This type of court
is never ready for play as soon
as completed. The surface and
materials must be allowed to
