Negroes seeking "cradle to

Federal Judge Walter E. Hoff
man to order the desegregation
of city-owned cemeteries.
The injunction plea was en-
tered in District Court yester-
day only eight days after the

obtain burial rights in the
cemeteries and were refused.
Portsmouth owns and oper-
ates three cemeteries, all re-

city has two Negro cemeteries,
both privately owned.
The suit contends that Ports
mouth should be enjoined from
discriminating against Negroes
in the "use and enjoyment" of
the CITY, owned cemeteries "in
order that there may eventu-
ally be integration of the Cit
liens of Portsmouth from the

About 9 o'clock last night.
Louis Armstrong arrived at the
Carter Barron Amphitheater in
a cab. He is so and walks in a
loose shuttle.
He moved across the cement
back-stage, carrying a white
handkerchief but no trumpet.
He stood just behind the cur
tain and watched and listened
to the big band of Count Basic.
He was motionless.
Some of the boys in the band
recognized him. They turned
and said. yeah" Mr.. Arm
strong said yeah" back and
smiled for the first time, the
footlights picking up his pearly
white teeth.
Then he went back to his
dressing room and closed the
door. He had changed into a
rumpled gray suit when the
door opened again and the
trumpet case had been opened.
Are you tired?" he was
asked.

said. mo old age in music"
The interview was a chore to
him, routine as familiar as

MARYLANDERS

NEW YORK CAP.-
Marylanders did enough
elbow-bending last year to
give the State fourth-place
ranking among the States
in per capita consumption
of beer and ale.
The United States Brew
ers Foundation reports a
record 1,971.780 b barrels
were consumed in 1859.
Each barrel contains 81
gallons, so the total topped
the Authorization mark.
On a per capita basis.
Wisconsin tops the list with
an average of PAT gallons
per capita. Maryland ranks
fourth with 20.2, easily
besting the Nationwide av-
erage of 1873.
Among the nations, the
United States lags in tenth
place. Luxembourgers lead

again. His eyes bulged and per-

his face.
He said he had worn out
about six trumpets since he

of S. The latest, he said, was
given to him by his wife last
Christmas.
You gotta keep a trumpet

Just like yourself"
The door was closed again.
He practiced.
About the time the Basic
band stopped, he came out of
the little room again. He said
he had been blowing all day.
You got to warm up" he
said.
Backstage, during the inter-
mission, people milled about,
disorganiZed.
In the dim light, Mr.. Arm
strong shuffled toward the
stage. He blew a riff. His small,
four-man band materialized
out of the confusion at the sig

$500,O00 for

Senute Unit Gets
PIeu for Grunt
To Start Plans
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Stan Writer

l
President Eisenhower has
asked Congress for $500,000 to
actlvate Immediately a trans
portation agency charged with
developing a rapid transit sys-
tenn for the Washington metro
politan area. =.
His request was supported by
the National Capital Planning
Commissions Director w. E.
Finley and its engineer, Robert
A. Keith. who said they spoke
for a broad cross-section of
area opinion at a Senate Ap-
preparations Committee hear
ing.
The Senate committee agreed
to consider the items in this
special session although financ-
ing plans ordinarily originate in
the House.
81 to Be Hired
Money would be used to pay
salaries of 81 persons. The
President has chosen and is
ready to appoint the agency'S
top officials-an administrator
a deputy administrator and five
members of an advisory board,
but the White House would not
disclose the names.
These new administrators
would plan the transit system
and program its construction
in stages. Any specific project
undertaken by the agency would
require fresh authorization
from Congress.
Mr.. Finley said compre-
hensive plans should be COM
pleted in three years. That
means agency officials could
start building the first subway
by 1864 and put it into opera
tion by 1868, according to ad-
miniStrations estimates.
Area Compact Planned
Eventually. the agency is to
be replaced by an interstate
compact with power to act in
Maryland. Virginia and the
District. Mr.. Finley told Sen
ator Hruska, Republican of
Nebraska. that the compact
could be negotiated by 1862.
This estimate was tabled "a
little bit optimistic" by Senator
Bible. Democrat of Nevada,
who belongs to the Appropria- =
tions Committee and is chair
man Of the Joint Congressional
Committee on Washington
Metropolitan Problems.
Il will say. however, that
the general climate and atmos-
phere has improved greatly for
regional cooperation in trans
portation," Senator Bible said.

More Disagreements


Although they did not say so
publicly, hackers of the Adams
Morgan project also feared that
cutting out the triangle would
mean cutting out invaluable
citizen leaders in the area.
The fact that the District
Commissioners voted to let the
project proceed as originally
enviSioned does not mean the
controversy is over. The Rede-
velopment Land Agency has
promised to consult the citi-
zens in the actual planning,
expected to take a year to IS
months. Arguments will crop
up at these sessions. Also. a
public hearing must be held
on the plan itself.
But if those running the
urban renewal machinery can
keep the confidence of the
majority as they travel this
new road, Washington may
show ailing cities all over the
United States a new waykput.
