The
Rambler
:. Gets Into
The Carnival Spirit
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Dy OLOASOL nLGNGNED1
1t WdS only a paper moon
Hanging oUer a cardboard
sea,
But it UouldR't be make
belieUe
If you believed in me.
The words of that old song
came to mind yesterday when
the Rambler entered a world
of tinsel.
That was in the enormous
basement of the Armory
where the floats for tomorrow
nights annual Cherry Bios
som parade are being readied.
Nature is being a little slow
about producing its share of
the show. This morning there
was a tint of pink in the
cherry trees standing about
the Tidal Basin-a faint tint.
But the men working un-
der the drill floor of the
Armory are going all out.
Parade floats are more
brilliant than in prewar
days. Yards and yards
perhaps miles - of colored
aluminium foil make that
possible.
Now it's a luminous moon,
and it shines on an emerald
sea.

SOME OF THE FLOATS

SOME OF THE FLOATS
were finished. Some looked
as if it would be impossible
to ready them in the remain
ing Sc hours.
Every show is like that
manmade shows, that is. But
they open on schedule.
The producers of this show,
Bill Abernathy and Earl Har-
grove, were very calm about
it-didn't betray the slight
est tension.
They have been through
1t many times before. They
are not partners. They are
competitors. But they get
along so we'll that they both
joined in the impromptu
press conference.
Both have been in the bust
ness the same length of time
about q years.
That goes back to the first
Franklin D. Roosevelt inau-
gural, an event that led to
quite a recovery in parades.
Hargrove was a store win
dow decorator; Abernathy a
sign painter. Building floats
was only an occasional activ-
ity. Now they do nothing
else.
They both build floats for
the inaugural parades, which
come only once in four years.
But they are busy between
times. Their floats are in
the annual Cherry Blossom
parade here and the annual
Apple Blossom festival at
Win IN e ester. Then they
branch out.
Abernathy's floats are in
the Kentucky Derby parade
in Louisville on the first Sat-
urday in May and in the In
dianapolis parade preced-
ing the May 80 500-mile race
at the famous speedway.

under the Federal Constitution
in denying him a notary pub
lie commission.
Mr.. Torcasco, 48, Wheaton
Office manager for a home
building firm, was denied the
commission after he refused tc
take an oath affirming his be-
lief in God.
The Montgomery County Cir
cult Court upheld the denial
and Mr.. Torcaso appealed to
the States highest court. II
he loses here his attorneys plan
to take the issue before the
Supreme Court.
The case could have an effect
on other States which require
their public officials to take a
similar oath.
Constitution Cited
Mr.. Pfeffer called the legal
test unprecedented and said it
was "of extreme constitutional
Importance"
/ He said the oath required of
Mr.. Torcaso violates the First
Amendment to the Federal
Constitution. prohibits enact
ment of laws regarding the es-
tablishment of religion, the
free exercise of religious belief
or non-belief. and also denies
him due process of law under
the 14th Amendment.
Not even the presidency car

said. The Federal Constitution

guments intently, with his arms
folded, from a bench in the
courtroom. He was accom-
panied by his wife.
No immediate decision was
expected. The high court does
not normally file its opinions
until several weeks after argu-
mentS are heard.
Mr.. Torcaso was represented
by Joseph A. Sickles, Silver
Spring, as well as by the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress. The
American Civil Liberties Union
also filed a friend of the court"
brief supporting him.
States Contention
Deputy Attorney General
Stedman Prescott, jr. contended
the State has a right to require
such an oath of its public Office
holders.
The State contended Mr.. Tor
caso'S right to believe or dis.
believe was not violated.
Religious rights" the State
said, ARE subject to reasonable
restrictions to safeguard the
public interest"
THE very oaths which no.
tarieS public are required by
law to administer and certify
are backed up by a belief that
the Supreme Being will punish
Iany falsehood," the State
argued.
Mr.. Torcaso now has a
notary public commission in
the District of Columbia but
seeks one in Maryland because
of his job in Bethesda. He was
not required to take an oath
in the District.

Givers Fund
Adds BuiIdinq
Trade Group
New Campaign Unit
Is Among Seven
In Reorganization
BY BETTY MILES
Star staf Writer

A major campaign unit de-
voted exclusively to the con-
struction industry has been set
up by the United Givers Fund
in an effort to strengthen busi-
ness solicitation in the fifth
annual campaign this fall.
The new Building and Con-
struction Trades Unit is one of
seven major ones established
in a reorganization of the
campaign structure.
Give Where You Work" once
again will be the dominant
campaign theme. But last
years Metropolitan Unit, which
took in all business, large and
small. as we'll as residential
solicitation, has been abandoned
in faver of several separate
units.
UGF officials consider the
construction industry a major
source of untapped revenue
here. They feel a unit devoted
to it concentrating on the
special problems of on-the-job
solicitation which the industry
presents, could bring in several
hundred thousand dollars in
stead of the approximately
$6O,0Oo contributed last year.
Taps Organized Labor
Representatives of labor and
industry will serve as unit CO.
chairmen.
General contractors will be
solicited through the unit, along
with a large segment of or
ganized labor, including team
sters. carpenters, electrical
workers, plumbers and brick
layers.
The industry was approached
last year through a subsection
of the Metropolitan Unit.
The campaign committee de-
cided yesterday to limit resi-
Dental solicitation once more
to those who gave SIS or more
at home in the past, newcom-
ers and residents of new apart
ment buildings and new hous-
ing developments.
The committee rejected a
Red Cross proposal that all-out
door-to-door residential solici-
tation be restored.
But the new campaign Or
ganization does reflect con-
Iclusions of both UGF and Red |
Cross leaders that the CAM,
paign in the counties needed
strengthening.
Separate Units
The various cities, towns and
counties in the area were divi- |
sions Of the Metropolitan Unit |
last year.
This year, separate units will |
be devoted. respectively, to the
District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
The seven components in the
campaign structure are:
l. Advanced gifts, formerly
called special gifts, which COW
ers solicitation of individuals
who are expected to contribute
$3.50 or more, corporations and
foundations. This remains
basically the same as last year.
2. Major firms unit, covering
firms of 100 or more employees
and a few smaller firms who
have payroll deduction.
3. Building and construction
trades unit.
4. Government unit.
S. District of Columbia unit.
6. Maryland unit.
7. Virginia unit.

Yet I was always bothered in my
younger years by the mysticism,
and my lack of comprehension of

similar to those of Biblical days.

Races Wind-Up At
Ocean DOIC1S TOnite

Ocean Downs Raceway winds up
its 1860 meeting Saturday night
featuring a $4,000 3-year-old pace
and B pace for the best PAGERS
on the grounds.
Last Saturdays crowd of 5,739
was the best in two years and the
fans were treated to some real
racing. Camden May w. won the
"a Glass trot for a purse of ST.
600. June First paced in 2:05 3f5,
and Alton Trooper won in 2:07 Us.
Throughout the meeting there
have been some outstanding hors-
ses to race at the Downs.
Chipman's Heel, winner of the
Del-Mar-Va 3-year-old pace came
to the track fresh from a 1859 fat
victory at Vernon, N. Y Norton
Hanover won his ninth consecu-
tive race and subsequently was in
jured in his stall.
Clyde Draper's Straw Hat, win
ner of two $4,000 early closing
events for 2-year-old PAGERS, has
become a popular favorite with the
public. No doubt his name is ap-
pealing plus the fact that he is a
chestnut in color.
Alton Trooper, a winner in 1859
at Ocean Downs, wen two more
this year, pacing in 2:05 1I5.
The attendance and wagering
has shown gradual increase as
the meeting progressed and it is
likely that the final Saturday will
bring out the most people and con-
sequently the greatest wagering.
