Senators See
Possible Vote
On Sullivan
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

Senate confirmation of Mark
Sullivan, jr., as a District Com
missioner today apparently
hinges on how soon Commits
sioner Robert E. Mclaughlin
Irecovers from a heart attack.
Mr.. Sullivan was named to
replace David B. Karrick, who
died August s.
The Democratic controlled
Senate District Committee yes
terday postponed a decision on
whether to hold a hearing on
the Sullivan nomination.
Inconclusive en- it's face, the
decision nevertheless was a
step toward possible confirma-
ton. Before Mr.. McLaughln's
heart attack Tuesday, commit
tee members were prepared to
Ignore the nomination in this
special session of Congress.
But they have no intention of
leaving town with two vacan-
cies on the board.
Committee Chairman Bible,
Democrat of Nevada, promised
to bring up the question again
before Congress adiourns.
If the Senate fails to confirm
and it cannot act without a
committee recommendation
President Eisenhower may
make a recess appointment.
Normally, I would prefer a
recess nomination" Senator
Bible said after an executive
committee meeting yesterday.
He added that the President
should have an absolutely
free hand in indicating who
should be the District Commits
sioner."
Whether the next President
is a Democrat or a Republican,
he should not be bound by a
permanent appointment made
by a previous President, accord
ing to Senator Bible.
That would be his reasoning
under normal circumstances, :"
Senator Bible stressed.
He made it clear that the
illness of Mr.. Mclaughlin so
shortly after the death of Mr.
Karrick created a problem in
municipal affairs.
We are faced with a very
unfortunate circumstance" he
said,

The
Rambler
Enjoys
A Bit Of Rockin'
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

AohoD Nh4NNNED
The Rambler yielded to
temptation yesterday. His
resistance is very low.
He was invited to take a
voyage down the river to at
tend the 18th Jousting Tour
nament at Marshall Hall.
And the high was to be in the
low 80s.
That did it.
If there's anything that
makes good copy, it's riding
to the lists. Any doubt of
this will be dispelled by read
ing the early chapters of Sir
Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe."
Furthermore, there was to
be an address by Gov. ].
Millard Tawes.
So at 10 am. the Rambler
boarded the M. S. Mount
Vernon at the Wilson Line
pier.
He was not alone. He was
one of about 900 passengers.
The deck chairs were all
rented.
However, he took advan-
tage OF an old acquaintance
ship with the skipper, Capt.
Hall, and made himself at
home on the bridge. The up
holstery there is very COM

the girls. surprisingly. blame
themselves if they spend their
nights at home.
One girl, rushing home to a
Georgetown dinner party, said,
II don't understand how people
can say there is no social life
for a Government girl. My
roommates and I could prob
ably go out every night of the
week.
Groups Active
There are all sorts of
groups to join-Young Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, church
groups. There's a post-college
group called the Cliff Dwell
ers." I'm taking an art course
one night a week. Socially you
can do a lot if you get out. If
you keep yourself sheltered,
you can't"
At the opposite end of the
social scale, but singing the
same song, was a girl who said
IF girl wants to meet some
one, she can't sit home. You
can meet fellows while hav-
ing dinner with other girls. Or
you can all go bowling-juSt
so you act respectable"
Another girl said, Some
times a girls biggest mistake
is associating too much with
other girls, When a guy asks
her for date she'll sometimes
say, l won't go unless you get
date for my girl friend"
She stopped, then said deci-
sively, when 1 get in that sit
uation-I 60"
Some of the girls. in a quest
for more social life, get taken
up with charm school ads that
promise the rainbow and the
pot of gold-after taking their
self improvement courses.

NEW GIRL IN TOWN

Some wore lace dresses and
rhinestone earrings and carried
straw handbags, but most were
neat and conservative in sum-
mer cottons.
Fingernails were painted and
70 combs whipped out at least
twice. Boys took up most of
the conversation - going and
coming.
Going: "Is Tony goin' to be
there?"
He said if he was he'd meet
us at the door"
Hope Jim doesn't call. He
doesn't like me to go to Dances"
And homeward bound:
Did you ask 'em all to come
to the party Wednesday? I think
I'm goin' to take sick leave
Thursday"
One girl squealed with OBJ
vious delight as she said, Il was
so mad at Bob. He was so mad
at me. He said he didn't want to
dance and that fellow asked me
to dance so I did and he got
mad. Isn't that a riot?"
A pretty, quiet girl hummed
and said softly, Hes going to
officers school and later he's
going to college. He said he was
surprised to see me at the
dance"
AlOOf Trio
At the dance, three pipe
smoking boys, who looked as if
the service had interrupted their
college days, remained aloof.
When asked why they didn't
join in, one said, Il only met
one girl worth talking to. Most
of them are dippy."
A few days earlier one of the
Pentagon girls said, Il never
attend those dances. I think it

Senate District Committee. is
whether the District is max
ing the progress it should in
redevelopment." He said many
persons have complained to the
committee about the slowness
of the program.
| Senator Bible explained that
the committee members feel
they cannot answer that ques-
ton until all the facts are
gathered. The resolution en-
powers the committee staff to
do whatever is necessary. in
Guiding preliminary hearings,
to get the facts between now
and January when the new
Congress convenes.
The formal hearings by the
Beall subcommittee will not
start until next year. At that
time, private builders and citi-
zens will be called as witnesses
to supplement testimony by
urban renewal agencies.
Already the agencies involved
have given the Senate District
Committee their views on
Washington's urban renewal
program. The District Commits
sionerS, Federal Urban Renewal
! Administration. Redevelopment
Land Agency. National Capital
Planning Commission and Ma
tional Capital Housing Author
ity all wrote the committee
that the primary reason for
delays in the program was its
pioneering nature.
Senator Hartke, Democrat Of
Indiana, a member of the Dis
trict Committee on June 80
had suggested that those agen-
cies be asked about the urban
lfenewafsprogram. Senator Hart
Ike told The Star yesterday that
! the answers were deficient, de-
claring the committee investi-
cation will get all the facts out

Motion by Morse
Senator Morse, Democrat OF
Oregon, made the motion to
conduct the investigation. He
and Senator Case. Republican
of South Dakota, are the other
two members of the subcom-
mittee which will conduct the
hearings.
The investigation will COM
mand national attention. since
several cities in the United
States have encountered similar

programs and will be anxious
to see how Congress reacts.

porch of the original Mar
shall Hall, a brick mansion
built by a william Marshall
in 1890 - so years before
Mount Vernon. =.
The something was one of
four substantial rocking

he enjoyed the screams of
kids going down the big dip
of the roller coaster and the
ineffable c o m b in a ito n of
odors-spun sugar candy, hot
dogs and hamburgers on the
broil.
The jousting? 1t was very

Senate OK Is Seen
On Sales Tax Rise
Approval Given
By Committee
To Boost to 800

A sales tax increase Of one
percentage point today was
only a Senate vote away from
imposition in the District.
The House-paSsed tax raise
from 2 to 3 per cent was rec
commended yesterday by the
Senate District Committee.
Only Senator Morse, Democrat
of Oregon, dissented. .
He was expected to make a
fighting but futile protest on
the Senate floor. The vote
probably will come within the
next two weeks.
In committee, Senator Case,
Republican of South Dakota,
tried unsucceSsfully to put a
greater tax burden on visiting
tourists, as well as Washing
tonians, by raising to 5 per cent
the current 2 per cent tax on
room rentals. He was voted
down. Committeeman left un-
touched the / per cent sales
tax on groceries, too.
Yield Put at S5.5 Million
An estimated yield of SIS
million for the fiscal year which
began last July l would be
realized by the committee-re-
ported bill.
District Commissioners are
hoping to add to his revenue
SO million more in Federal pay
ments. Their bid for the ad-
ditional Federal aid now is
pending before the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee.
The tax and payment would
pay for salary increases of Dis
trict employees. The pay boost
seemed just as certain as the
new tax.
Congress already has cleared
"a rs per cent salary increase
for classified employees.
In its closed session yester-
day. the Senate committee in
dorsed the same fiat pay raise
for metropolitan, park and
White House police and Dis
trict flremen. Awaiting a Sen
ate vote is a parallel rs per
cent raise for District school
teachers.
Pay Rise Costs 50 Million
In all. the pay bill will
amount to close to SO million.
Also reported by the COM
mittee were proposals to per-
init borrowing up to $32 mil
lion to combat Potomac River
nonresident pupils to pay tut
ton to attend District schools,
to raise motor vehicle tag fees
so cents if they are treated
with reflective material, to give
the Civil War Centennial Conn
mission legal status and to
exempt some Federal employe
insurance plans from District
regulations.
Committeeman decided to
hold up another measure to
insure fair competition between
the District Transit System and
its competitors until the House
acts. The bill has been called
for debate, but the vote was
blocked.
Also put over was legislation
requiring Group Hospitaliza-
ton. Inc. to contract with den
tai hospitals for treatment of
members. Committeeman wrote
a letter urging Group Hos
pitalization and the Meade
Dental Hospital to negotiate a
contract before January. Meadet
sponsored the legislation to try
to require a contract it had
been unable to negotiate.

Steel girders that will

lecture to the passengers

not be completed until 1861.
Then, he said, it will be
named the Woodrow Wilson

We called at Mount Vernon
and a great many of the pas
sengers debarked. Then we
went across the river to Mar
shall Hall, which is on a
point below but in sight of
Mount Vernon.
Antiquarians will be glad
to hear that Marshall Hall
is prospering. The 100 or
more slot machines in air

clang permeated the place.
This prosperous conces-
sion undoubtedly has some
thing to do with the general
