to grow. But it is separated
from the plant by a range of
low hills and features wide

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Outing Can Fortify
New.Found Hope

A modest bungalow and a
few cans of paint have changed
Penny's life, and the life of
her family, too,
At least. it seems that having
a home to prize has given
them a confidence in the fu-
ture they never have known
before.
For years they lived in a
rundown house along the
railroad tracks.
Plumbing was primitive. The
house and the people in it
were forever disheveled and
unkempt.
Then the Government an
nounced it was putting a high
way through the land. The
family had TO move.
They found a little bungalow
with a big garden in a neigh
borhood with higher standards
than their former home de-
msnded.
Then the miracle happened.
Penny's mother cared about
this house. In many ways it
was the home she had always
dreamed of. The children
helped her make it attractive
with paint, inside and out.
Penny's father walked out
years ago. An older brother
quit school to help support the
family. But Penny's mother is
determined that Penny, now 8,
will finish high school.
A little hope can carry a
family a long way. Camp this
summertime first time for
Penny-would be another won-
derful experience in a year
that has opened UP a new. good

DR.. Bacon is a Connecticut
Yankee of an old New Haven

is fairly imperturbable-not

But I'll never forget the
expression on his face when
he paused for a moment on
the landing and saw the

Haven, they apparently had
never seen a coonskin coat.

YOUTH TODAY

YOUTH TODAY probably
finds it hard to believe that
two generations back, "col-
lege men" not only wore
coonskin coats but plus fourS
on the campus.
The writer remembers how
envious he was of those who
wore them. There was a
marked division between
those who could afford them
and those who could not.
And those who had them
were inclined to wear them.
He remembers looking
down on Harvard Yard from
his comfortable quarters on
the top floor of Weld late in
May and watching these
princely young men in golf
knickers still wearing their
coonskin coats. On a warm
day they wore them un-
buttoned.
All this, as we'll as the
extremity of the weather,
probably had something to
do with his presumption in
suggesting that he wear the
coonskin coat to Yale.
The young reporter was
fascinated at the thought.
I'll be glad to lend it to
you for your trip to New
Haven" he said. "Just tell
me all about it when you
get back"
So there was a very unfair
considering the weather.
trade in coats.
The next morning he had
an appointment with Prof
Selden Bacon, a sociologist
who was heading the spon-
sorship of the alcoholic clinic.
He went there directly from

The
Rambler
Recalls Days
At Old Eli
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Many of his best friends
don't know it, but the Ram
bier once went to Yale.
He was writing a series for
The Star on the problems of
alcohol and alcoholism in
the District.
He came to the point
where he had written all he
could on the local situation.
He went to the editor and
suggested it would be a good
thing for him to go to New
Haven and report on the
experience of the clinic for
alcoholics established under
the sponsorship of the uni
versity.
This was just after the
war when the alcoholic stud
les at Yale under DR.. Howard
w. Haggard of the uniyer-
sity'S department of applied
physiology were attracting
world attention.
Surprisingly enough, the
editor went along with the
suggestion, and the next day
the writer arrived at the old
Star Building, his" bag
packed. He was not a little
excited that years after an
unfortunate break in his
education, here he was on
his way to Yale.
So excited that he had
paid no attention to the
weather.
1t was one of the coolest
days in Washington's history.
1t was II above and windy.
Yet he had come to work
wearing a light topcoat.
He was wondering how
cold it would be in New
England when one of the
reporters, a young Yale
graduate, arrived wearing a
coonskin coat. 1t was a
hand-me-down, a gift from
a friend of his father, which
had come to him long after
it had gone out of style for
undergraduate wear.
But it was wonderfully
snug in a blizzard.

Bill 10 Limit
D. T.. Renewal
Gains Ground
Rubuut Measure
Sent to Floor by
District Group
BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star Stad Writer


Legislation that Would put
strict new controls on future
Washington urban renewal ac-
tivities was recommended to-
day by the House District Com
mittee.
The recommended measure,
a revision of one sponsored by
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat of Michigan, on which a
subcommittee recently held
hearings. would bar any new
redevelopment projects until
after completion of so per cent
OF the present Southwest re-
newal.
The bill also would require
additional public hearings and
competitive bidding on the part
Of proposed redevelopers in fu-
ture projects.
Percentage Reduced
The original Rabaut leg
islation, which was strongly
opposed by District officials
and the Redevelopment Land
Agency, would have barred new
projects until 10 per cent COM
pletiop in the Southwest.
In setting the substitute so
per cent requirement, the new
bill excludes schools, play
grounds, churches and other
public facilities from consider
alton in determining the re-
building progress.
The measure, if approved,
also would write into law
tighter requirements for Selec-
ton of blighted areas for re-
newal activity. One proviso
would require the redevelop-
ment agency to consider COM
mercial buildings. Only resi-
Dental buildings must be con-
Sidered at present.
Impediment Feared
In proposing additional pub
lie hearing requirements, the
recommended bill specifies that
notice must be sent by mail to
affected property owners. The
revision makes a concession to
critics by stipulating that only
one notice need by sent in
cases of multiple ownership.
officials at the recent hear
ings contended that the Ra-
baut proposal would impede
further redevolpment activity
in the city. They said competi-
tive bidding is not workable in
renewal programs and that ad-
ditional hearings would be bur-
densome and serve no useful
purpose.
Supporters of the legislation
contended it is needed to pro-
tect homeowners against arbi-
trary governmental action.
Mr.. Rabaut sharply attacked
delays in the renewal program
as we'll as procedures of the
redevelopment agency.
Other Bills Reported
Besides the renewal meas
ure. which was approved by
the full District Committee
without formal subcommittee
action. the unit headed by
Representative Mcmillan ia
vorably reported bills to:
Bar use of parking meter
collections to pay meter at
tendantS.

scription, of cough medicines

items and sat at the lunch
counter.
About one and a half hours
later, three Negroes and three
white persons left Peoples and
began the demonstration at
Drug Fair.
Police kept a close watch on
the demonstrations throughout
the afternoon and evening.
AS nearby schools closed for
the day, many students came
to the drugstores to observe
the demonstrations.
Once, a firecracker exploded
near the crowd at the Drug
Fair Police could not deter
mine who was responsible.

+ Several times during the day,
men wearing armbands with
Nazi insignia Joined the crowd.
About 9 pm. George Lincoln
Rockwell, the leader of the
| American Nazi Party, arrived
at the Drug Fair with six
troopers"
Rockwell left shortly, how
ever, at the request of police.
Some Of the students who
;ame to observe said they
learned of the sit-ins when
Nazi literature was passed out
in front of their schools. The
students, joined by adults, fire.
quently asked the demonStra-
tors questions.
One man who refused to
give his name asked one of the
demonstrators, David Hart
sough, a 20-year-old Howard
University student, to swear on
the Bible that he was not re-
celving money for being there.
Mr.. Hartsough complied.
Later, Mr.. Hartsough told a
reporter that perfume, water
and a lighted cigarette had
been dropped in his coat pocket.
Quote Bible
Frequently the demonstrators
would reply to questions by
quoting passages from the
Bible.
Mr.. Hartsough expressed the
philosophy of his group by
saying:
I'VE are trying to be as
friendly as we can in the spirit
of nonviolence."
The reaction of the students
varied.
A Stratford Junior High
School student, Harry Freer,
said he couldn't see what the
sit-in demonstrators were
proving" Another eighth grade
student at Stratford, Linda
Smart, said she thought the
idea of sitting there like that
waiting to be served is crazy"
But Corlyss Drinkard, also of
Stratford, said she believed the
demonstrators were sitting
here for their rights. If they
ask for something they should
be served"
None Of the demonstrators
would say whether he belonged
to any organized movement.
A spokesman for the group,
Charles Cobb, 40, of 6347 North
Washington boulevard, Arling-
ton, said, however. he was a
member of the Community
Council for Social Progress in
Arlington and the Congress of
Racial Equality.
He would not say. however,
that those organizations were
behind the demonstrations.
