EVERYTHING was steamy.
Vegetation was growing by
the cooking process-and you
could feel it.
The red-winged blackbird
was fitting about, and a Bal
timore oriole. Bob White was
sounding his song strong and
clear.
The wisteria was admir-
able. One vine had hung
blossoms all the way to the
top of a tall white oak.
AS we walked along the
turf between the ponds, tiny
frogs occasionally leaped
three or four feet into the
water.
They were sounding off but
their voices had not changed
to the magnificent bass of
the bull frog when he is
courting.
Mr.. Bayne, the taxi driver,
wanted to know how the
ponds we're filled. Mr.. Souder
showed him the water gates
from the adjacent AnacoStia,
the east branch of the Poto-
mac. When the water is high,
because of tide, wind or
freshets, they tap what they
need.
No lilies in bloom. But what
about the magnificent Vic
toria lily pads which become
6 feet across and can sup
port a 75-pound child.
You're a little ahead of
season." said Mr.. Souder. He
took us into a greenhouse
where lily pads about 4
inches across were growing
in water, their roots in tiny
pots.
Come back in August" he
said, land some of these will
be 6 feet in diameter. 1t will
probably be Just as hot as 1t
is now and our lilies will be in
bloom"

congressman have a lot of
ideas about how the District
should be represented in Con-
gress.
Their views fall generally into
these categories:
o The Constitution should be
amended to grant full voting
rights for District representa-
tiveS.
. A law should be passed to
accomplish the same thing.
Q Non-voting delegates should
be chosen to speak, but not
vote, for the District just as
Hawaiian and Alaskan dele
gates were able to do for their
former territories.
Q The District should be given
back to Maryland.
An overwhelming majority in
the House-279 Representa-
tives-favors the principle of
representation in the House
for District residents, accord

As Biased
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

Joseph L. Rauh, jr., vice
chairman of the District of Co.
lumbia Committee for Hum
phrey, charged yesterday that
the Washington Central Labor
Council is guilty of "a shocking
infraction of civil liberties"
Mr.. Rauh explained that the
Trades Unionist, the councils
official publication, had refused
to accept an advertisement sub
mitted to it by the Humphrey
committee.
j. c. Turner, president of the
Central Labor Council, replied
that the Trade Unionist never
has accepted political adver-
tisements since it was founded
in 1896.
Mr.. Turner, who is a candi-
date on the ticket of Senator
Morse of Oregon for reelection
as District National Commit
teeman, declared that Mr..
Rauh's charge was prompted by
desperation because Senator
Humphrey is so far behind in
this campaign"
Mr.. Raugh said that the
Trades Unionist on April % had
carried "a long and slanted
story about the May 8 primary
with a number of incorrect
statements about the cam
paign."
He declared that since SEN
ator Humphrey could not OBJ
tain fair treatment in the news
columns of the Trades Union
ist, the Humphrey committee
decided to pay for an advertise
ment.
The rejected advertisement,
said Mr.. Rauh, made clear
that Senator Humphrey has
the most pro-labor record
among the candidates; the
AFL-CIO says of Senator Hum
phrey, his vote on significant
issues was right 213 out of 214
times"

he'd go along with the idea OF
District delegates if the Senate
and House District Committees
were eliminated.
Representative Harris, Dem.
ocrat of Arkansas, as well as
Mr.. Abernethy and Mr.. Kearns
opposes a locally elected mu-
nicipal government in the Fed
eral City. But the Arkansas
chairman of the House Com
merce Committee said granting
WashingtonianS the right to
vote for President, Vice PreSi-
dent and delegates in the
House is the right solution to
the local suffrage problem.
Opposition came from 80
congressman, in all. One was
Representative Poage, Demo-
crat of Texas, who said he was
against a District delegation
in Congress. Instead, District
residents who want to vote

ought to go back to Maryland
he said. I'm willing for them
to vote if we make the District
another county in Maryland
Another was Leo Allen, Re-
publican of Illinois, who said;
"Just say I'm an old-fash-
ioned fellow. I like things the
way they are"
Asked to comment on the
principle, Congressman begin
ming to consider details ran
the gamut from very limited
representation to that similar
to the States.

a constitutional amendment for
suffrage but believed Congress
could pass legislation enfran-
chiSing citizens without wait
ing for ratification of an
amendment.
Il am pleased that hearings
have been held on the amend
ment and I shall support it,
he said. Il fear, however, that
there is a long and costly road
ahead before the amendment
procedure will enfranchise Dis
trict residents"
He claimed Congress could
pass legislation guaranteeing
a presidential vote and con-
gressional representation. Un-
til now. lawyers have been
pretty well agreed an amend
ment is needed not because the
Constitution forbids voting
here. but simply because it fails
to make any provision for it.
Representative Pirnie, Re-
publican of New York, said all
citizens should participate In
selection of their national lead
ers. by so doing, there's a
greater interest. and perhaps a
keener sense of responsibility, 4"
he added.
Representative Lennon. Dem
ocrat of North Carolina, said
he certainly would look with
favor" on a proposal limited to
the Celler resolution. This
resolution sponsored by House
Judiciary Committee Chairman
Celler would permit the presi-
dental vote and House dele
gates from the District with
powers to be determined by
Congress. Mr.. Lennon hinged
his support on the proviso that
delegates would be non-voting.
They would, under the Celler
proposal. unless Congress voted
to give them the vote.

TAKE US to the Kenil-
worth Aquatic Gardens" he
said.
where's that?" the cab
driver asked.
Sidney Bayne, the driver,
is from Macon, Ca, and has
lived here for some time. He
has been hacking for the last
six years.
II will show you," the RAM
bier said with great conf
dence after helping his
guests into the conveyance.
We went out East Capitol
street, made the right turn
dts really a left turn onto
Kenilworth avenue.
Nov watch the signs" he
directed.
He had great hopes about
impressing these guests from
Florida. When the tempera-
ture is above 80 the Aquatic
Gardens are another world
they suggest the tropical
rain forests of the Congo or
the Amazon.
Apparently he was think
ing out loud, because Mr..
Bayne said he would like to
see the Aquatic Gardens and
would not charge US for wait
ing time.
We arrived in the parking
area and walked along a con-
crete cauSeway two feet wide
into the gardens. Automo-
biles are barred and that's a
good thing.
We met Paul Souder, the
superintendent, who was not
a bit embarrassed by this un-
announced, premature call.
"We have no blossoms"
he said. "Ninety-degre tenn
perature can cause the aza-
leaS to bloom a week or two
ahead of time, but not the
water lilies. No matter how
hot it gets, they are going to
wait for June, July and Au-
gust before they OPEN"
Still the suggestion of the
Everglades, the Amazon and
the Congo-none of which
the Rambler has ever visited
prevailed.

The controversial mail order
question came up at a second

hearing on legislation favored
by organized pharmacists and
the District Pharmacy Board
to rewrite the Districts 54-
year-old pharmacy law.
Pharmacists strongly defend

tion service here.

this. 1860 should see the national
economy head toward the $40
