HE CALLED AL SMITH
''The Happy Warrior" Politi-
cal commentators speculated
on the source of the felici-
tous phrase. That brought in
hundreds of letters making
them aware of their ignor-
ance. 1t was from a poem by
Wordsworth starting, who
is the happy WARRIOR"
Does anyone think the
Democratic Party's difficult
ties over a civil rights plank
are new? In 1924 the plat
form committee finally re-
ferred the problem to the
floor. 1t was whether the
plank denouncing bigotry
should name the Ku Klux
Klan.
An evening debate was
scheduled. Young Bainbridge
Colby Tin his 40S) argued the
proposition against old Will
liam Jennings Bryan Tin his
60s).
Understand" Father said,
che is not defending the
Klan."
Father was very fond of
Bryan.
Bryan won; Colby lost. BY
a narrow margin, the Klan
was not named.
Then the balloting started.
Alabama casts its "a votes
for Underwood" That was
the start of more than 100
ballots. William G. McAdoo
had a big lead on the first.
Al Smith passed him on his
way down. Two-thirds was
necessary then; now it's a
majority.
John w. Davis, just about
the darkest dark horse in
history, was nominated.

TeleViSion Is wonderful.
Last nights encounter be-

You've read about the Lin

Still, this is not as exciting
a convention as the one we

The Democratic National

Madison Square Garden in
New York was the first radio
convention.
r a dio had functioned
slightly in announcing that
Warren G. Harding had won
the 1920 election. KDKA, a

just started broadcaSting.
But the. audience was
largely made up of kids with
crystal sets and earphones.
Somehow or other they knew
something.
In 1928, one of our neigh

1T COST $500. Father did
not approve of that. Even
when sets were becoming
much simpler in operation
and lower in price, he would
not put up with the noise.
He would not allow one of
those things in the house.
Then one day in June,
1924, he surprised us. He had
a long box about the size of
a carpenters tool kit. Un-
wrapped. it turned to be an
RCA six-tube super hetero-
dyne radio, the latest thing.
His children were delighted.
They assured him they would
show him how to operate it.
"I have not purchased
this" he said. II have rented
it for the Democratic Ma
tional Convention"
We wanted to tune in on
the amusement programs,
the Ipana TroubadorS or the
Cliquot Club ESkimoS.
But what we heard was
Senator Pat Harrison of
Mississippi lambasting Re-
publican corruption in the
keynote address.
Senator Tom Walsh Of
Montana took over as per-
manent chairman and made
the indictment more specific.
1t was Senator Walsh who
had exposed the Teapot
Dome.
Father settled back, every
thing was going fine.
The convention was aware
of radio. The important
events like the nomination of
candidates were held in the
evening. The nominations
preceded the submission of
the platform. The commit
tee was having difficulty and
we all knew what it was.
We didn't have TV but
with Graham McNamee'S de-
scription we could see it in
the minds eye. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the Democrat with
the wonderful Republican
name, was carried onto the
platform to nominate the
Governor of New York, AL

william Chapman Foster Is
the type of weather-b beaten
skipper who can run a tight
ship without raising his voice.
His technique is simple: He
keeps a firm grip on the tiller
himself and lets his crew know
he expects them to do their
jobs equally well.
With such calm efficiency,
the new appointee to the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission has navigated seas of
bureaucracy which would have
sunk louder but lesser men.
Born in Westfleld, N. j., in
1897, Mr.. Foster left private
business for those bureaucratic
seas IA years ago when Averell
Hartman, then Secretary of
Commerce, persuaded Mr.. Fos-
ter to become his deputy

toward the majority party in
Congress, appointed Mr.. Foster,
a Republican, Undersecretary
of Commerce in 1945.

In 1948, when Mr.. Hartman
resigned as Secretary of Com
merce to become Ambassador
at Large to Western Europe for
the newly created Economic
Co = operative Administration,
Mr.. Foster went along as his
deputy in charge of the Paris
headquarters. In 1850, Mr.
Foster became ECA admins
traitor, a planning job of gi-
gantic proportions.
From 1851 to 1853 he served
as Deputy Secretary of Defense
In this post he speeded up pro-
curement policies and spoke
out on the need for the free
world to negotiate with the
Communists from a platform
of strength. On a consultant
basis, he looked into the rela-
tive strength Of the United
States and Russia as a CO.

Temporary Plun
Is Proposed for
Prince Georges
By JAMES B. ROWLAND
Star stan Writer

oJAE 6tdH WEltef
Trailer classrooms may be
used in Prince Georges County
as temporary relief for the
anticipated classroom shortage
this fall.
The school board yesterday
authorized School Supt. Will
liam S. Schmidt to investigate
the purchase of the mobile
units and discuss the proposal
with the county commissioners.
The county heads would have
to approve purchase of the
trailers estimated at $4,000
each. Each unit would house
one classroom and the county
could use about Is, Mr.. Schmidt
said.
In suggesting the possibility
of trailers, Mr.. Schmidt en-
phasized they would be only
for temporary use and would
not become a permanent fix
ture on a building site. He
said he does not know of any
being set up in the area, but
has noticed them used else
where and on display at con-
ventions. y
Double Shifts
About $500 pupils probably
will be on double shifts this
fall when an anticipated rec
ord enrolment of nearly TO-
900 youngsters return to classes,
Mr.. Schmidt said.
Double shifts are expected
at Gaywood Elementary, in
Seabrook Acres: Temple Hills
Elementary; o. w. Phair Ele-
mentary, in Laurel; Buck
Lodge Junior High, in Adelphi.
and probably Camp Springs
Elementary, depending on the
progress Of construction of
Princeton Elementary.
Trailers would keep the
school board from overbuild-
ing in some sections. Mr..
Schmidt said. He noted that
a school and one or two addi-
tionS may be built to serve a
growing community, which in
later years cannot supply
enough children to fiji all the
classroomS.
Also at its day-long meeting
in Upper Marlboro. the school
board authorized Mr.. Schmidt
to investigate the use of a tract
in Temple Hills for a nature
institute. The topography is un-
suitable for school construction,
Mr.. Schmidt said.
Reverts to County
The institute would cover
some so acres Of q 119-acre
parcel known as the Noone
tract, located off Webster lane
and Allentown road. The last
owner died leaving no will, and
the land reverted to the county,
Mr.. Schmidt suggested the
site could be used by students
to study plant and insect life
and conservation. Board mem
Iers also mentioned its pos
sible use as a day camp.
The board awarded a con-
tract of $1,494, 500 to the Dorset
Construction Co. Inc, in Hy-
attsville, lowest Of II bidders
for construction of the Fair
mount Heights Junior High
School. The building at Addi-
son road and ifty-third street

for the purchase of three 20
acre elementary school sites in
Temple Hills off Temple Hill
and Fisher roads; near Camp
Springs, in Middleton Valley

Asked to Help in

The State Department has

David A. Sawyer, executive
director of the District Council

Deputy Assistant Secretary for
African Affairs, and asked him
to forward a request to Secre-
tary of State Herter to assist in
convening a meeing of national
and local real estate men to
discuss problems of discrimina-
ton in housing.
Mr.. Sawyer said he left a
memorandum that said Wash
ington is considered a hard
ship post" for Africans, and
"the problem seriously affects
our local and international re-
lationships. On an interna-
tional level, the integrity of
the United States is measured
by many countries on the basis
of our racial practices" The
memo was a copy Of one he
had originally written for the
Commissioners.
THE African delegates to
the United States are encoun-
tering difficulties finding places
to live where they will be well
coined. These difficulties will
unfortunately, influence the
personal and national attitudes
of African officials and other
nations towards the United

Plan Gets Nod

BALTIMORE, Sept. % (AP)
"A plan to complete construc-
ton of 20 houses in the Forest
Knolls housing development at
Silver Spring was tentatively
approved yesterday by Federal
bankruptcy referee Joseph O.
Kaiser.
Counsel for II prospective
purchasers, who have con-
tracted to buy homes in the
development, offered the con-
struction plan.
The Paolicelli Cooper Co. has
agreed to finish the houses for
$128,761 within 80 days after
receiving a go-ahead from the
court.
The houses were left un-
finished by builder Dan OStrow
and his development firm, Roger
Craig, Inc. Mr.. OStrow told Mr..
Kaiser earlier this month that
he was about 100000 in debt.
Mr.. Kaiser said if the trustees
for Mr.. Ostrow will resolve two
problems, he will recommend to
Federal Judge Roszel c. Thom-
sen that the trustees be author
lied to sign the contract.
Attorney j. Martin Nc
Donough. representing trustee
Clyde E. Bourke, said he would
first need a firm commitment
from Equitable Savings and
Loan Observation-Disclosures of
the first deed of trust-that the
company is willing to advance
$4,000 in unexpected con-
struction funds for the project.
Mr.. McDonough said he also
wants assurance that paving
of the street in front of four
of the houses will be completed.
The Paolicelli-C Cooper firm will
have to reach agreement with
builders of an adjoining de-
velopment on sharing the
paving costs.

County Splitting Plan
Proposed by PhiPps

done historically in Maryland.
Most of our counties have been
carved out of existing counties"
Mr.. Phipps said he will spon-
sor legislation to create a new
county out of Anne Arundel
and any other large, growing
county-"if I get any support
for it,"
Sees Merit in Plan
He said he thinks such a
proposal has more merit than
a constitutional amendment to
increase the present represen-
tation of suburban counties
caught up in a population ex-
plosion.
II favor more representa-
ton for larger counties" Mr..
PhippS said. But there is a
danger in any one county be-
coming too large or too power
full as a political unit like the
situation we've had with Balti-
more City"
He said new county can be
created by legislative act, elm
mating any need for a consti-
tutional convention to reap
portion legislative seats. The
convention proposal has been
killed each time it comes up in
the Legislature.
Cites Past Decisions
Howard was formerly part of
Anne Arundel, Mr.. PhippS
noted, Garrett. the last of the
% counties to be formed, was
split from Allegany in 1872.
Mr.. Phipps said dividing a
large, urban county also would
have the advantage of provid-
ing local government more at
tuned to needs of such areas.
In Anne Arundel, he noted,
there are different interests be-
tween the populous and urban
northern sections adjoining
Baltimore City and the more
rural southern sections.

Mayor of San Juan
Denies Vote Is Sin

SAN JUAN. Puerto Rico,
Nov. II (AP)-The Catholic
woman Mayor Of San Juan said
yesterday she will challenge her
pastors right to deny her holy
communion because of the way
she voted in the November 8
election.
Felisa Rincon de Gautier said
she did not believe it was a sin
to vote for Gov. Luis Munoz
Marin and his Popular Demo-
cratic Party and that she in
tends to receive communion at
San Juan Cathedral Sunday
without confessing and repent
ing her vote.
The Rev. Thomas Maisonet,
pastor Of San Juan Cathedral,
told his congregation last Sum
day that voters who diSobeyed
the order Of Puerto Rico's
Catholic bishops by voting for
the Popular Democrats COM
mitted a sin and he would not
give them the sacrament until
they confess their vote.
None of the three bishops
who. ordered Puerto Rico's
Roman Catholics not to vote
for Gov. Munoz could be reached
for comment. Father Maisonet
said 1t was "up to each priest
to handle the matter as he sees
IT." He said he knew of no
directions from higher church
authorities
