SEND A KID TO CAMP
Head Of House, IS,
Needs q Breother

When the four children mis-
behaved, their mother always
threatened to pack up and
leave" But Donald, Is,
thought it was just an idle
threat.
He found out one day about
six months ago that it wasn't.
His mother finally did what
she had threatened to do so
many times before.
Donald's father, an alcoholic,
drifted in and out of the
family's life, rarely coming
home and seldom providing
them money for food.
There was no one to turn to,
so Donald took over the job of
running the family although he
was still recovering from a
heart condition that had kept
him in the hospital for more
than two years.
With the money he and his
brother, Lewis, 49, could earn
working at odd jobs in the
neighborhood and carrying out
groceries at a local super
market, the four children man
aged to eat.
Donald and James did the
cooking, such as it was.hot
dogs, hamburgerS and canned
meats. A brother. IL. and a
sister, 10, tried to keep the
house clean.
The children lived alone for
more than five months, with
only infrequent visits from their
father and he was always drunk
when he showed up. They
might still be living alone if
Donald hadn't had a relapse
at school one day. He was taken
home by police. who discovered
the children's plight.
Donald is on his way to COM
plete recovery now, but a sum-
mer vacation at camp would
speed it up. You can provide

request by two Southwest de-
velopers to amend their leases
for property around the Capt.

Mr.. Searles said the develop
ers, James H. Seheuer and
Roger L. Stevens, were con-
cerned chiefly about the clause
in the lease which tied the
whole project together when it
came to defaults. He said a de-
fault on one of the town
houses, for instance, could re-
suit in a claim against Capitol
Park Apartments.
There are several other lease
changes sought by the develop
ers which will be studied by

Grafton with a minimum staff
but with what is probably the
best-trained team in the air
port business" Mr.. Burton
vows.
Washington being what it is,
the job at National requires
more than a man who knows
aircraft and airports. Frequent
arrival of foreign dignitaries
and the more frequent appear
ance of President Eisenhower
call for precise planning, timing
and tact.
One bright June day two
years ago, as throngS milled
about awaiting the arrival of
the President in the Constella-
ton Columbine, careful plans
had been drawn for a 1890
pm. stop in front of the MATS
terminal. All other air traffic
into and out Of the airport was
about to be halted when, in
rapid succession, there were
three standby alerts," mean
ing that airplanes were up
there with some kind of trou-
BILE and wanted to come in.
Precise Landing
After all three had landed
without incident, a fire alarm
came from the control tower,
where electric equipment was
smoldering.
Emergency equipment rolled
again, but the Columb in e
stopped on the exact point in

has been pressing for prompt
action on the property tax

ing and Commissioner David
B. Karrick are scheduled to
leave seen to assume new posts.
1O-Cent Boost Likely
AS a result, if a decision on
the real estate is postponed
much longer it might be left
in the hands Of Commissioner
Mclaughlin and the new En-
gineer Commissioner. since
Commissioner Karrick's sue
cessor, Mark Sullivan, jr., is
not expected to take Office un-
til September.
If the Commissioners do vote
an increase in the real estate
tax rate it is more likely to be
a 10-cent rather than a 20
cent increase, District Building
sources say.
Since the time that the Dis
trict Commissioners proposed
a 20-cent increase the House
has passed a bill to raise the
Districts general sales tax
from 2 to 3 per cent.
The Commissioners were ad-
vised yesterday by Schuyler
Lowe, director Of the Depart

There are the early

There are cabbages and

There are snap beans and

FROM HIS REPORTING

FROM HIS REPORTING
DAYS the Rambler has an
acquaintance with a man
who buys fresh fruits and
vegetables for the Washing
ton warehouse of one of the
big food chains.
Reached on the telephone,
the buyer wasn't a bit apol-
ogetic about the situation.
That's right" he said,
"three tomatoes in a tube
for 29 cents. They come from
North Carolina and were
picked and packed green"
(They aren't very good
tomatoeS.)
But didn't you notice that
there were loose tomatoes in
a bin? Those are vine
ripened and were purchased
in Virginia. They are a much
better tomato"
The Rambler asked, How
much do they cost?"
Tive n ty-nine cents a
pound" he said. Il know
that's not much different
from 10 cents apiece. They
are likely to be larger toma-
toes and they may be all of
10 cents apiece and more.
But ripe tomatoes are very
difficult to warehouse. you
could sense a shudder as he
testified.) No matter how
carefully we handle them,
transporting them on re-
frigerated trucks and sorting
them in rooms of 35-degree
temperature, we have tre-
mendous spoilage. But we
get them to you.
Don't think that we are
pocketing an extra profit
because our summer prices
are not much below our win
ter ones. This is the most
highly competitive business
in the world. One chain
makes it difficult for its COM
petitors to exist by keeping
it's profit down to a little
more than 2 per cent of its
gross.

The
Rambler
Questions
Price of Tomatoes
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Shopping at one of our big
chain supermarkets yester-
day, the Rambler came upon
something that raised an
eyebrow.
1t was a small cellophane
package of three tomatoes
for 20 cents.
Tomatoes at 10 cents apiece
in the middle of July!
Right now they are moving
to the canneries on the East
ern Shore in truckloadS of
bushelS-big, ripe, red juicy
tomatoes.
The price is probably not
much more than $5 a bushel.
The Rambler attempted a
mental computation of what
a bushel of medium-size
tomatoes at 10 cents apiece
would amount to dollarwiSe.
Unknown factors begged
him down. He doesn't know
how many tomatoes Of that
size would be in a bushel and
he isn't going to buy enough
of them at 10 cents apiece to
fill a bushel basket.
He has a few tomato vines
behind the house and neigh
bors have more. Everybody is
offering everybody beautiful
vine-ripened tomatoes for
free.
Tomatoes at three for 20
cents is a winter price, or
darned near. Why can't our
glut of tomatoes force down
the price in the stores? 1t
seems to be another Of those
denials of the classic econ
omy that we were taught at
school, that prices are deter
mined by the law of supply
and demand.

Failure of some Prince
Georges County policemen to
appear in the prosecution of
their cases drew a blast yes
terday from the Upper Marl-
boro Police Court.
Judge william H. McGrath
dismissed two traffic cases,
saying he had no other choice
when the arresting policemen
don't take the trouble to show
up here" One of the defend
ants was in jail.
In the case of two other
jailed men, Judge McGrath
told Assistant States Attor-
ney Francis x. Gaegler, jr., to
get the arresting policemen to
court during the lunch hour.
When this failed, he released
both on a $500 personal bond
each, not requiring cash. He
then reset the cases for next
month.
Questioned later, Judge Nc
Grath said he has thrown out
an average of two or three
cases a week because arresting
officers failed to appear. APP
pointed by the Governor. he
has been on the bench since
May 4. 1859.
No Other Course
"The police don't like me to
throw out their cases but ]
have no alternative" Judge
McGrath said.
THE law states that when
a man is jailed he goes to court
at its next session." he added
People have constitutional
rights and it's my job to see
that they are observed. If the
police don't like it maybe we
should move the legislature to

ters) :"
We've had a case where a
person sat in Jail weeks while

when defendants, freed or

tinued, the policemen are noti-
fed of the poStponement by his
