But the barber business did not
remain idle long after Mr.. Clip

the following was published:

Claims Another Site
Harry West, a former resident
now residing with his son-in-law,
Fred Trickett, said this week he
believed the location of the barber
shop to have been on Railroad
street near Second, where the
Ravenscroft building now the
Gender building was subsequent

Mr.. West said he thought the
BARRIERS name was Joe Leekins,
and that the photo was taken about
1883.
However. a careful examination
of another photograph, showing
this portion Of Oakland before the
erection of the RaVenscroft build

barber shop and on the basis of
evidence discovered to date it
must be assumed that the picture
printed was that of Handy Gipson

Judqe Morris

In his 81 years on the bench ofstlIe
District Court, Judge James W.. Morris
did not happen to preside over trials
which brought him prominently to pub
lie attention. Nonetheless, his service
was such as to win for him the respect
and warm affection of his judicial col
leagues and members of the bar.
A native of North Carolina, Judge
Morris came to Washington in 1888 from
Tampa, Florida, where he had practiced
law since 1914 practice interrupted
only by military duty in World War I,
which brought him citation by General
PerShing for conspicuous and meritori-
GUS service. His first 16 years in the
Nations Capital were spent in the De-
partment of Justice, where he rose to
the position of Assistant Attorney Gen.
erai. AS a judge, If he sometimes
seemed slow to make up his mind, this
was attributable to deeply-held desire
to see that justice was done. Perhaps
the most appropriate tribute was paid by
Chief Judge David A. Pine, who, in an
nouncing Judge Morris death, said the
latter'S judicial career had been marked
above all else by patience, sense of
compassion, and firm belief in the
ultimate goodness of mankind.

JOINING the Fold

The request of the Loudoun County
Supervisors for membership in, the
Washington Metropolitan Regional Con-
ference is most gratifying, and we are
glad that the conditions of the apphca-
ton have been approved by the confer
ence executive committee. While the
membership expenses which Loudoun
initially will pay are considerably smaller
than those contributed by most other
jurisdictions of the Washington area,
the point of paramount Importance is to
bring Loudoun into the fold Officials OF
the eight other major local governments
in this region already are members, and
the addition of Loudoun will enhance
UNNECESSARILY the prestige and effective
ness Of the conference as a focal point
for the development of cooperative
solutions to the knotty regional problems
which beset the entire metropolitan area.

Cuba has been following under the in
creasingly iron-flsted rule Of Fidel
Castro and his sinister cronies. As our
own Government has charged, these
people are "now in open league with the
Soviet Union and Communist China"
Indeed. In terms of religion, liberty and
economics, they are steadily becoming
more and more alien to their own
countrymen, and more and more COM
mitted to Moscow and Peiping-so much
SO that they are fast acquiring all the
earmarks of being full-fiedged, traitor

The evidence along this line is
mounting with each passing day, and

The Dirt We Breathe

MY, DOESN'T the DlStrlcC
Building look nice since it has
had its face washed? The
pristine whiteness of the
stone has now made it into
q new building. And wasn't
1t amazing the amount of
CRIME that was on its walls?
This should point up a les
son on health. For it would
be impossible for a human
being to survive with his
lungs, bronchial tubes and
nasal passages so coated with
CRIME. Yet all Of this filth was
carried to the walls of the
District Building in the air
the very air we breathe, and
on which we depend for the
publication of our blood.
There are no huge, smoke
billowing factory chimneys in
the area. So nearly all of this
dirt came from the exhausts
Of cars, buses and trucks
mixed with poisonous gases
and noxious fumes.
It is to be hoped that the
city fathers. with Offices in
that building, will take the
lesson to heart and bring it
to the attention of the legis-
lators on Capitol Hill.
Likewise, the newly estab-
lished National Capital
Transportation Agency might
well consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of providing, in its transit de-
velopment program, for use
to the fullest extent possible
of electrically propelled We
hicles in preference to those
having internal combustion
engines requiring fuel oil or
gasoline for power. From the
standpoint of health alone
the choice Is clear.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE

electoral quota in line with
the latest population census?
It is soul-sickening to lose
faith in the American ideal
that the individual vote has
any weight as a voice in the
Government. This country
has not been so divided, real
and deep. since the Civil
War. Almost half the people
were not fairly represented
and they know it.
Guanetta Gordon.
This is to second Paul Nc
Ilvaine's brilliant suggestion
for improving our election
procedures. On election day
the entire electorate would
have the opportunity to
choose the party and also
two Of the three candidates
nominated at the convention
Of each party.
However, I would like to
see us try this plan within
the framework of the cleo
toral college system first. 1t
seems to me that this pro-
gram might be just what the
electoral college system needs
to constitute it really the
voice of the people of the
whole Nation.

@. Does ice ever appear on
Great Salt Lake?-P. F.
A. Yes. The water which
freezes is not the salty brine
of the lake, but is fresh,
water at the mouth of the
streams which feed the lake.
In winter this fresh water
sometimes floats" on the
brine and freezes into ice
which may become several
inches thick. This ice some
times drifts about the lake
in sheets. Heavy windstorms
may break these up and blow
the ice into piles which re-
semble floating iceberg-
some of them 20 or 80 feet
high.
Q. Can pineapples be can
died whole?-T. D.
A. Yes. Pare pineapples
and nip out the eyes. Weigh.
Allow one pound of sugar
and half-cup of water to
each pound of fruit. Put
sugar and water in a kettle,
bring to a boil, skim, put in
the whole pineapples. Bring
the syrup to a boil again.
and cook slowly for about
two hours until the fruit
seems to be saturated with
sugar. Remove, and let dry.

Where Experience Counts

The nature OF the ONCE makes q
good Secretary Of Defense hard to md.
The completely and gravity of the issues
he must resolve, the too-often conflict
ing pleas Of the three services, the i'm
portance of speed in making defense
decisions and the sheer magnitude Of
the job make 1t almost impossible for
the most capable man to do well without
a long apprenticeship in the Pentagon.
President Truman and President
Eisenhower both had a difficult time
finding an effective Defense Secretary.
And now President-elect Kennedy faces
the same problem. He will get much
advice, but his decision must be a per-
Sonal one, as every Cabinet off1cer is a
personal aide to the President. Still, it
may be worth pointing out that there is
a widespread feeling among military and
civilian leaders in the Pentagon that
Mr.. Kennedy would do well to consider
the man who now holds the job
Thomas S. Gates, jr.
In one short year as Secretary Of
Defense, Mr.. Gates has demonstrated
that experience pays high dividends in
that post. He has been Secretary of the
Navy, Deputy Secretary Of Defense and,
since last December, Secretary. He knew
all the issues, all the arguments, all the
special interests and all the personalities
before he became Secretary. He could
move swiftly and effectively to make
the decisions that came to him-and by
definition no decision comes to the
Secretary unless 1t is most serious and
difficult one
His effectiveness has won over the
Skeptics who thought his Navy back
ground would create dissension with the
Army and Air Force. He is respected in
Congress. The Democratic chairman of
the House subcommittee on armed serv-
ices appropriations, Mr.. Mahon, has
expressed his great respect and admi-
ration" for Mr.. Gates. And his re-
appointment by Democratic President
would help keep military policy out Of
partisan politics. Mr.. Gates, a Re
publican, did not take part in the
campaign.
There are two obvious obstacles to
such a choice by Mr.. Kennedy. First,
the PreSident-elect may feel Mr.. Gates
shares responsibility for the defense
"inadequacies" claimed by the Demo-
Gratis during the campaign. Second, Mr..
Gates may not want the job. But in the
past year Mr.. Gates has been in reality a
skilled administrator carrying out the
policies Of his President. Mr.. Kennedy's
recommendations for defense changes
have not been stated in detail, but there
is nothing to indicate they will conflict
with Mr.. Gates own philosophy of CON-
tinual review and frequent adjustment
Of defense programs. Mr.. Gates has
told friends he wants to return to pri-
vate life in January. But he also has a
record of willingness to give up personal
wishes for the public good.

Ordeal in New Orleans

The one clear fact which emerges
from the fantastic goings-on in Louisi-
ana is that four Negro girls have been
enrolled In the first grades of two for
merly all-white schools in New Orleans.
And this has been accomplished without
anything approaching the disorder and
violence which attended desegregation
In Little Rock
1t is true that the sound and fury
IN Baton Rouge, the State capital, sug-
gest that Louisiana may be about to
secede once again from the Union. And
1t is possible that Governor who has
said he would prefer jail to desegrega-
ton, and legislature which has been
listening to the widest sort of punitive
proposals, may yet force historic court
test OF State versus Federal power. One
may doubt, however, that this will come
TO pass. For there must be plenty of
men in Louisiana who realize that in
any such clash the Federal Government.
as the Attorney General has promised,
will use all OF the legal weapons at its
disposal, and that, in the end, the Fed
eral authority will prevail
or more immediate concern is the
school situation in New Orleans. While
IT is a fact that the two schools have
Peen integrated on a severely limited
basis, it apparently is also true that only
handful Of the 1000 white pupils en-
rolled in them attended classes yeSter-
day. 1t may require little time to
determine whether this resulted from a
purpoSeful boycott, fear of violence on
the part Of white parents, or both. But
1t seems clear enough that the people of
New Orleans have made their basic de-
ciSlon. They are against indignation. If
their choice lies between limited deseg-
regation and closed schools, however,
they prefer the former. This certainly is
true of the city's mayor and it's school
board. And in school, board election
last week the voters rejected three
segregationists and chose a man who
advocated keeping schools open despite
limited Indignation.
AS Americans elsewhere watch the
course of events in New Orleans, they
would do well to remember that Louisi-
ana is Deep South. It is experiencing its
first breach in the public school segrega-
ton wall. If there is tolerance in New
Orleans, this is not true of many other
areas of the State, and the political fire.
works in Baton Rouge should be ap-
praised against this background. Given
time, however, the chances are and the
hope must be that sounder judgment
will prevail. If New Orleans, even though
reluctantly, is willing to comply with the
order of the Federal Court, both the
Governor and the legislature, when the
infammatory speeches are over, can be
expected to go along.

Castro and the OAS

There is good reason why the 81
nation Organization of American States
should act promptly on charges that
Fidel CaStro'S pro-CommuniSt tyranny
in Havana has been behind the Guate-
malan and Nicaraguan "rebellions" of
the past week.
After all, the charges have been
made at the highest level-by President
Ydigoras of Guatemala and President
Sonoza of Nicaragua. Both have fatty
affirmed that the Cuban dictatorship is
guilty of having given aid, comfort, in
Spiration and even direction to the
"rebels." Moreover, although the "up-
risings" apparently have been crushed
with relatively little bloodsi1ed, the two
leaders love warned that the Krcmlin-
serving Havana regime, unless our hem
iSphcric system succeeds in putting
restraints on it, can be counted upon to
keep on trying to stir up as much sub
version as possible in the Americas.
Needless to say all this has been
hot!v denied by Dictator Castro and his
colleagues, but the suspicion against
them is UNDERSTANDABLE very strong.
Thus, by way of example, they have been
shouting for weeks past about an "im-
minent" invasion of Cuba by Yankee
imperialistS" - scare propaganda so
poisonous and so mendacious that it
definitely seems to have been designed
to serve as Smokescreen to cover up
just such adventures as the abortive
weekend effort to overthrow the gov
ernments of Guatemala and Nicaragua.
Certainly, if it is true that some of the
captured "rebels" have been linked di-
rectly with Havana, the GAS ought to do
more than merely enact mild verbal
cenSure.

here for our hemisphere system to take

Critic of Teachers

The recent teacher strike
in New York has compelled
me to. write this letter. Let
me say first of all that I
taught school last year and
had the privilege of being
supervised by one Of the most
admirable. brilliant ladies I
have ever known. Also, in
my own public school days,
I had some unforgettable
teachers. There is one thing,
however. that has baff1ed
and irritated me ever since
I took my first education
course in college.
I refer to the constant cry
Of teachers (and almost
everyone else nowadays that
they are professional" peo-
pie. There are never-ending
references to the teaching
profession. professional re-
quirements, acting profess
sionally or unprofessionally,
and that organized combina-
ton Of ballyhoo and tally
no of all time, the profess
sional meeting. To me, there
are only three professions:
medicine, law and the clergy.
A profession does not offer q
steady salary at regular in
tervals regardless of what
happens, it does not offer
regular hours of work, paid
holidays, sick leave, or come
ons such as free insurance on
your big toe. A profession
does offer, however, POSSIBLE
ity of being sued for mall
practice, physical risk Il don't
mean falling down or chalk
allergy, I mean being shot
att, 10Th century working
hours and worse; it also
offers that old fashioned
practice Of being paid only
for work done. no retirement
plan, and more often than
not, no lunch hour.
Above all. a professional
person does not join a trade
union and under no circum-
stances does he strike. After
all, officers do not mutiny,
do they?
The teachers protest too
much, I think, because in
addition to overplaying that
word, they also try to identi-
ty themselves with doctors.
For those teachers who
struck and for any who
have the same ideas, let me
employ the same technique
1 have illustrated and ask
them this question: What
would you think of and do
with group of doctors who
struck and picketed a hos
pital containing sick and
dying patients? If we must
use the example of the MD.
to build up the amour propre
of the teacher, at least let's
do it the right way.

Plea for UGF

Our elections are over and
millions of our fellow Amer
leans can feel that their civic
duty was accomplished when
they voted. However, a dis
turbing two-inch item in the

the United Givers Fund in

had reached only 90% of its
goal. To a social worker this
figure is appalling. It seems
that we cannot serve a goodly
proportion Of those who will
turn to us for help in 1861
with emotional disturbances.
marital problems or parent
child conflicts. Professional
workers in the 146 agencies
are distressed because it
means services will have to
be cut unless the goal Is
reached. We hope that the
public will respond to this
civic duty overwhelmingly as
they did when they went to
the polls.
The public services offer
broad sweeping social vel
fare programs Of financial
assistance. health and secur-
ity needs; 1t is the private
UGF agency to whom the
individual must turn for help
with his personal problems.
