Gas Tax Rise Boosts
Road Fund in Foirfox

Virginia's one-cent gasoline
tax increase will mean an ex-
ira 100000 for Fairfax Coun-
tvs secondary road system next
year.
The county's $1.848,052 share
Of the State road funds for the
secondary system was the larg-

CeIIer; McCu||och Fight for Suffrage

This could deal only with
House representation. Some
Representatives want nonvotin2
delegates for the District, and
others are all for voting dele
gates. Mr.. McCulloch probably
will find himself somewhere in
between.
The resolution now calls for
election of delegates with pow
ers to be determined by Con-
gress itself.
Line Is Drawn
Chairman Celler draws a
sharp line between home rule"
and the national representation
amendment. This is not an
either or" proposition, he in
sists. One is distinct from the
other, maintains Mr.. Celler, a
home rule champion.
Mr.. McCulloch not only sep
arates the ideas; he sees no
logic in home rule. The Federal
interest in the Nations Capital
must be guarded zealously by
Congress, charged by the Con-
stitution with exclusive govern
ing powers over the city, he
feels.
/ Unlike home rule, the suf-
frage proposal would limit local
elections to spokesmen for the
city in Congress.
This proposal has directed
the bulldog tenacity of Mr.. Gel
Ter and the mild manner of
Mr.. McCuuoch toward a COM
mon goal - representation for
citizens who always have borne
the responsibilities of citizens

dition of American citizens in
the Nations Capital, who can
not vote though they pay taxes,
serve in armed forces and num-
Der more than the population
of several States.
Mr.. McCulloch's concern eX-
tends to balancing the interests
of all Americans in their Cap
ital city with the rights of
local residents to vote.
This is a Federal city" he
emphasizes. He intends to guard
the amendment from any lam
guage that might tip the bal
ance of control over Washing
ton too far toward local in

said Mr.. McCulloch, Republican

He stressed the need for care

WINCHESTER, Va, April %
Fair skies and temperatures
in the 60s prevailed this morn

Otdi ObdA "lAlcI
Senator Humphrey of Minne-
sofa said last night that the
eyes of the Nation" will be
watching the District primary
election on Tuesday.
In a speech to the Young
Democrats of the District of
Columbia, the Senator said
that while ''it is limited
election in terms of participa-
ton of voters. it is important
psychologically."
He explained that the elec-
ton will attract wide attention
because it is being held in the
Nations Capital and because
so many news agencies have
representatives here.
The Senator also vigorously
defended his record as a friend
of the District and a longtime
supporter of civil rights.
Senator Humphrey empha-
sized that at the election Dis
tri0t voters will go to the polls
not to elect a mayor or alder
man but a possible President.
Runs Like Alderman"
Senator Morse of Oregon,
Senator Humphreys rival in
the presidential preference race,
has said that he is campaign
ing like an alderman because
issues here are also issues over
the rest of the Nation.
At the Young Democrats
meeting at the Willard Hotel,
spokesmen for Senator Morse
and the District Draft Steven
son Committee were also heard,
Seymour M. Chase, chairman
of the Draft Stevenson Com
mittee, said that "a victory for
the Stevenson slate would rock
this Nation from coast to coast
because it will appear to be q
minor miracle"
However, he said, the Steven
son committee knows now that
thousands of Stevenson back
ers will go to the polls here on
election day.
A. L. Wheeler, chairman of the
D. C. Morse for President Club
attacked Senator Humphrey
and charged he has probably
the weakest" record in the
United States Senate.
In fact said Mr.. Wheeler
Il must confess, my research
shows that he has no recorc
for the people of the District
of Columbia :"
Mr.. Wheeler defended hi!
own record as chairman of tht
District Democratic Centra
Committee and praised Senator
Morse as "the Districts best
friend"
Other Developments
Meanwhile. in other devel'
opments:
Senator Humphrey turned
down an offer by WTOP-TV tt
provide time for a debate be-
tween him and Senator Morst
on Monday night.

U.S.. Watching Primary
Here, Humphrey Says

Woodson and j. Leon Williams.
Earlier in the day Senator
Humphrey had made several
talks and appearances. He
started off with speech at
Howard University, then spoke
to the Lutheran Ministerial AS
Sociation of Greater Washing
ton at the parish hall of the
Luther Place Memorial Church,
Thomas Circle, and next gave
a pep talk to candidates on the
Humphrey ticket at a meeting
at the D. c. Committee for
Humphrey headquarters, 1901
K street NV.
In the evening he toured the
U and Seventh streets NV.
area in an open convertible
which was accompanied by a
loudspeaker truck and a cara
van of cars decorated with
Humphrey posters.
At the Jewish Community
Center, he said he hoped the
summit conference can settle
the number of veto-free inspec-
tionS to be included in a nu-
clear weapons test ban agree
ment.
The Senator. who is chair
man of the Senate Disarma-
ment Subcommittee, said that
Russia would have to accept
at least 20 veto-free inspections
of possible test-ban violations
in its territory.
The United States position,
he said, is that at least this
number of checks would be
needed each year to finG out
the source of possible explo-
sions of l9-kiloton size or
above.
Sees Senate Alert
The United States teSt-ban
proposal calls for a ban on
underground tests above 19 or
20 kiloton size on the theory
the large ones can be detected
without the necessity of on
site inspection. A kiloton is
the equivalent of 1000 tons OF
TINT.
II would respectfully draw
to the attention of the Soviet
Union" Senator Humphrey
said, "the fact that a treaty
cannot 60 into effect without
a two-thirds vote of the Sen
ate-and to advise them that
no treaty which provides fol
less than 20 veto-free. on-sitt
inspections seems to have q
reasonable chance of winning
that degree of support"

Transit Sightseeing
Ban Sent to House
7 File Dissents
From Bill Aimed
At Chalk Tours

Controversial legislation to
bar the use of D. c. Transit
System mass transit equipment
and drivers in competition with
sightseeing and charter bus
lines has been sent to the
House floor by the House Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce
Committee.
The measure. sponsored by
Representative Rogers, Demo-
crat of Texas, was filed yeSter-
day by Chairman Harris,
Democrat of Arkansas. An ex-
planatory report was not i'm
mediately available.
Transit President o. Roy
Chalk and his attorneys
strongly oppose the bill and
question its constitutionality.
Cite Franchise
Both at House hearings and
at hearings on a similar meas
ure before the Senate District
Committee last year the transit
company contended the pro-
posed ban would conflict with
its right to engage in sight
seeing and charter work q anted
by the firms congressional
franchise.
Representatives Friedel, Dem
ocrat of Maryland, and De-
rounian, Republican of New
York. filed dissents from the
committee action, committee
sources said today.
The Rogers bill was intro
duced as a result of complaints
by sightseeing and charter OPP
orators, who charged that the
transit firm enjoys unfair ad-
vantages because of tax and
other concessions.
Bars Other Bus Use
The transit franchise allows
the Chalk firm to be excused
from motor fuel taxes under
certain circumstances.
The Rogers bill if enacted
would require the firm to use
mass transit equipment and
personnel exclusively for reg
ular transit service.
Mr.. Chalk has contended the
company'S sightseeing and
charter activity, which it has
promoted strongly, benefits the
public by strengthening the
company financially. Oppo-
nents have charged the services
are operated at a loss.

The

Hopes to
See Timber Toppers
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The 64th running of the
Maryland Hunt is scheduled
for 4 pm. Saturday, a 4-miIe
run over % jumps at Glyn-
don in the Worthington VAL
ley north Of Baltimore.
1t is termed a classic" +"
with justification. 1t is the
oldest timber race in the
world, this type of racing
over open country having
been abandoned in Europe.
Only a few of the classics"
of flat racing are older. In
Europe it is called turf racing
but we do not have enough
rainfall for continued racing
on the grass.
Among the older events
here are the TraYerS Stakes
at Saratoga, run continu-
ouSly since the immediate
poSt-Civil War period. and
the Preakness at the Pimlico
track in Baltimore.
The Maryland Hunt race
had its start in the spring of
1897, Just after the inaugura-
tion of william Mckinley
and Just before the war with
Spain.
The Rambler was invited
yesterday to witness this 64th
running of the Maryland
Hunt. Things like this set
him up no end.
But it shouldn't. Everyone
is invited. There is no charge.
Anyone may join the farmers
of the Worthington and
Green Spring valleys at van
tage points along the course.
Just arrive in a jeep or a
beat-up station wagon and
they'll think you're a farmer,
too.

Mrs. Frank S. Phillips, vice
president of the District School
Board, announced today she
will not be available for re-
appointment to the board when
her current three-year term
expires June 30.
Mrs. Phillips has been a
member of the board since
1851. She said she wants to
devote more time to her family
and to other community prof.
ectS.
She called her years on the
board stimulating and interest
ing. She noted that there
were problems when I came and
there are problems now. I'll
have to will the current ones
to my successors"
Board President Walter N,
Tobriner said today he sim
cerely regretted Mrs. Phillips
decision. He called her an eX-
cellent board member who has
given unStinted devotion to her
work. Her contributions have
been of a superior quality" he
said.
Opposed High Costs
Throughout her years on the
board, Mrs. Phillips, the wife
of a prominent local builder,
has been particularly concerned
with the high costs of school
construction. She listed this
today as still one of the most
pressing issues facing the city's
schools.
Mrs. Phillips said she feels
the academic standards of Dis
trict Teachers College need
careful study Other areas
which need more attention,
she declared, are the special
services provided underprivi-
legged children and the recruit

1T WAS A GOOD RACE.
Leap Year Maid, a 5-year-old
mare on the outside with
Larry Adams up, seemed to
take it at the wire from Gun
quest, a 4-year-old gelding
ridden by Bobbie Corle.
1t took the judges in their
observation post on the in
side of the track several min
utes (it seemed like 1O) to
examine the photographs
and come to a decision.
The Rambler had made no
wager. He wouldn't violate
the Sanctity of the stewards
box with such self-interest.
1t was a good race. But he
would have had more fun If
he had had two bucks on the
nose Of a horse named Self
Control, which was called
several times by the track an
nouncer as out in front. Self
Control faded in the stretch.
Finally the numbers went
up. No. 7, Leap Year Maid,
was the winner.
You asked how the Mary
land Hunt race started" Mr..
Colwill, the three time win
ner, said. TT was a wager
made at the Maryland Club
by two members who owned
and rode their horses"
Mr., Wing, who had just re-
Sumed his chair, said:
That's right, and ever
since 1t has been a race of
amateur riders. Other hunt
races are open to both anna
teurs and professionals.
ITS an interesting race
same weight, 165 pounds.
The horses are much older
than in flat racing. The ia
vorite will be Fluctuate, with
M. D. smithwick up. I don't
know Mr.. Smithwick's age,
but I am sure that Fluctuate
Is 10 or H."
Evening star., 1960-04-28


THE INVITATION was ex-
tended under the most favor
able circumstances. He had
every reason to believe that
he was getting up in the
world, because he was in the
stewards vantage point, a
glass-encloSed box under the
caves of the grandStand,
high above the Laurel Race
Course.
Snowden Carter, racing
writer of the Baltimore Sun,
who has covered many a
Maryland Hunt race, brought
him in. Fred Colwill, one of
the stewards, was introduced
as a thfee-time winner Of the
event. Mr.. Colwill noticed
the double take.
"Oh, WE'LL" he said depre-
catingly, that was so pounds
ago."
1t was also 20 years and
more ago. Fred Colwill was
on the winning horse in 1898,
1899 and 1910.
The other steward was
Bryce Wing, a tall, large,
strikingly handsome man
with a ruddy complexion, a
long nose and a cane. He
is in his late COS.
Mr.. Wing is president of
the National Steepleehase
and Hunting Association.
II do hope you'll be able
to come" said Mr.. Wing with
that sincerity of the host
whose pleasure is in the en-
ioyment of his guests. You'll
see a good race"
Pardon me a moment, he
said. Lets watch this race.
You'll see a good one right
here and now"
He picked up his binocu-
lars, as did Mr.. Colwill, and
they stepped to the broad
open window of the stewards
box. The Rambler watched
with his naked eyes, which
are very good for distance,
no good for reading.
