Ask Land Transfer
The RIA board decided to-
day to ask Congress for i'm
mediate legislation which would
permit the District to trans
fer its waterfront holdings to
the RIA. In addition to the
property it now controls, the
District also is acquiring juris-
diction of two large unimproved
parcels held by the Army
Corps of Engineers.
The RIA hopes, with the new
legislation, to acquire title 10
nearly all of the waterfront
from Twelfth street to Fort Nc
Nair so it can lease the land
to private developers.
In other actions today, the
RIA announced it will hold a
hearing at 1890 am. April 20
on disposal of a site adjacent 20
st. Dominic's Catholic Church
for construction of a new rec
tory and priory. The land, for
which the church has agreed
to pay $4,000. lies between the
church and Seventh street, off

suggestion that a principle be

Ex-Teocher Is Named
School Board Member

Retirement has been short
for Mrs. Euphemia L. Haynes.
Eight months ago The Star
reported that Mrs. Haynes has
ended a distinguished 47-year
career with District schools"
The story, it developed yester-
day, was premature.
District Court judges named
Mrs. Haynes to serve on the
school board until June 80,
1862, to fill the unexpired term
of Mrs. Ruth B. Spencer, who
resigned because of i'll health.
Mrs. Haynes, whose career
with the city's schools began
in 1909, said OF the appoint
ment, II feel very much hon.
ored. I think it's quite a
challenge and I'm ready to do
whatever I'm called upon to
do"
Walter N. Tobriner, school
board president, said he was
delighted with the appointment.
Except for the three years
she devoted to get advanced
degrees, Mrs. Haynes had
taught here continuously until
her retirement last July 81.
For the last 80 years she was
a mathematics professor and
department head at Miner
Teachers College. now District
Teachers College.
Before her appointment to
Miner, Mrs. Haynes had taught
mathematics at Dunbar and
Armstrong High Schools, as
we'll as English at the old Miner
Normal School.
Her husband. DR.. Harold A.
Haynes, was deputy superin-
tendent of schools here be-
fore his retirement in 1858.
Mrs. HAYNES received her
bachelors degree from Smith
College in 1914; her master of

The Celler resolution omits
any mention of a State and
substitutes determination of
the number of House delegates
by the method of equal pro-
portions. The effect would be
to give the District three elec-

This wording was geared to
eliminate any pressure for
eventual District Statehood.

Puerto Rico Governor Backs D. G.
In Appeals for Representation

Witnesses from several walks
of life, including the Governor
of Puerto Rico, testified today
at House hearings on national
representation for the District.
The appearance of Gov.
Munoz Marin of Puerto Rico
was unexpected. He emphasized
that he spoke not as Governor
of the Commonwealth but as a
citizen of the United States.
Gov. MunoZ Marin said he
felt the right to vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President should
be extended to "all citizens liv-
ing under the American flag"
He said he felt the District
should be given representation
in both houses of Congress.
But he pointed out that Puerto
Rico was a fiscal autonomy" Z"
and therefore not taxed with
out representation as are resi-
dents of the District.
Query on Islands
Chairman Celler interrupted
the Governor to ask him If he
felt voting rights should be
extended to citizens living in
such United States possessions
as the islands of Samoa, Guam.
Wake and the Virgin Islands.
Gov. Munoz Marin answered,
This would be fair"
Mr.. Celler said if the meas
ure under consideration was
broadened to include citizens
living within any possession of
the United States lit would
never get off the ground"
I'VE cannot accept your prop
osition," Mr.. Celler told the
Governor.
The Governor, following his
testimony. said he had come
to the United States on other
matters. He said he heard of
the move to grant District
citizens a voice in national cleo

The
Rambler
Tests Advance
In Communications
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler went over the
hills to HagerStown yester-
day to play with the new
>Pushbdtton telephone.
He was accompanied by
Col. George Selwyn of the
telephone company's mainte-
nance staff and Fred Lang
bein of its public relations.
The trip was made in one
of the new overland buses
that seem to be proceeding
at a very deliberate speed
although they are going the
legal limit.
We were met by Thomas
Dwyer, district manager for
the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co. He would ac-
cept no change in his plans.
First we were to be his guests
at luncheon at the country
club where we would hear all
about the new instrument
then he would take us to the
telephone office and let us
play with it.
On the way north on the
c h a m b ersburg road we
passed the new high school,
designed for cloSed-circuit
televiSion teaching.
The Fairchild Aircraft Di-
vision plant, which is farther
out on the same road, is
operating at a reduced rate,
we learned. A few years ago
1t employed more than 1000
workers turning out the big
Flying boxcars." Now it en-
ploy only 5000 on a four day
week and executive salaries
have been cut 20 per cent.
The town is feeling it.
Evening star., 1960-04-06

AT THE CLUB we were
joined by Harry Patton, the
wire chief at HagerstoWn,
and Lloyd Mallonee, the local
manager. These telephone
men, employees of our largest
corporation, have a camara-
derie if not a society all their
own. Company golf Journeys
come first in their converSa-
tion.
The table was beside
French windows affording a
view right down a long green
fairway where a patient pro
was trying to teach a woman
member not to hook her
approach shots. Despite this,
the talk finally got around
to telephones.
The pushbutton telephones
in HagerStown are expert
mental. The company started
installing them a few weeks
ago, and the work has Just
been completed. Now there
are 1875 in homes and offices.
Instead of the dial they
have nine square buttons ar
ranged in a rectangle, three
rows of three buttons, for the
nine digitS. A single button
below them for the zero COM
pletes the decade.
There have been two pre-
vious experimental installa-
tions, one in Hampton, Conn.
and the other in Elgin, III.
After a month or two of
testing, the pushbutton tele-
phones were taken out and
the dial telephones restored.
This is going to happen in
Hagerstown-to the regret of
the 1875 subscribers.
Special machinery in the
central office records on tape
the subscribers experience
with the new phones. The
tape notes any error that
leads to redialing before a
wrong number is reached. 1t
also records the time taken
in dialing.
The percentage of errors
remains about the same as
with the dial telephones. This
is a bit disappointing to the
telephone people.
