Miss Millard attends National
City Christian Church and is a
contributor to the United Givers

Miss Millard has lived in
Washington since 1918, except
for a brief period in Pasadena,
Calf, in the 195Os.
She found the Pasadena resi-
dents too old-thinking, too
anxious over their health and
diet.
II don't belong with people
like that" Miss Millard decided,
and came back to Washington.
Miss Millard paid for part of
the service of both the visiting
nurse and the homemaker.
Most important was the fact
a spunky, independent woman
could get the kind of help she
needed.

William H. Smith. president
of the agency, the AABCO En-

by the fiasco as the housewives.
He said today:
I'VE feel like a goat for the

He said that another corpo-
ration. the International Place

promised to deliver the maids
on or about September 2.

had signed contracts and had
sent deposits of $110 each,
payable to the International
Placement Bureau.

Miss Fannie Millard can re-
member every minute of the
day that changed her life.
1t was sunny and bright
August 20, 196O-and she was
hurrying to get ready for a
church picnic.
Suddenly, without knowing
quite how it happened. she
found herself on the floor. She
had tripped over the cord of
the electric fan and broken her
hip.
Il asked myself, oh, dear,
how am I ever going to get
up?'" Miss Millard recalled.
She managed to drag herself to
the phone to summon a friend,
and there she stayed until her
friend arrived.
Miss Millard, who is in her
70s, lives alone. She didn't
have a doctor of her own-she
was never sick and didn't feel
she needed one. She had had
only one other operation in
her life-when her tonsilS we're
removed.
Six Weeks in Hospital
A doctor was located who
sent Miss Millard to Doctors
Hospital, where she was op-
Grated on and stayed six weeks.
Miss Millard was anxious to
get home to her third-floor
apartment at 1886 Kenyon
street NV, even though it
meant learning to walk again
and getting along on her own
in spite of her disability.
The help of two United
Givers Fund agencies made all
the difference in the world.

recently has mailed letters to
housewives who had contracted
for the maids.
1--WE have been informed by
international Placement Bu-
reau, Inc, that circumstances
beyond their control have made
it impossible for them to carry
out the Brazilian employment
program as originally planned"
Elaborate Training
The letters suggest that the
housewives write directly to the
placement bureaus New York
office - at 373 Fifth avenue,
N. Y.
Brochures distributed by the
agency last month described an
elaborate training program for
the maids in Rio de Janeiro.
They were to receive intensive
three-week training courses, in
cluding a Berlitz-type series of
English lessons.
District officials, meanwhile,
have ordered AABCO to suspend
its operations pending a check
of the company books.
The firm was told by Conrad
N. Cardano, the Districts Lii
censeS and Inspections enforce
ment chief, to close it's doors
Friday, shortly after the Brazil
ian maid affair came to light.
Mr.. Cardano said AABCO
had taken over the license of
Lloyd'S, Inc, an employment
agency that was at the same
address, in July. He Said the
license transfer was properly
applied for but had not received
final clearance.

District officials have hit a
financial snag in their plan to
shut down the Western Market
and move the third precinct
police station so that the city
can sell the one-acre tract at
Twenty-firSt and K streets NV.
The move will have to be de-
layed, perhaps for a year, be-
cause the city does not have
enough money for the purchase
of the site for the third pre-
cint'S new quarters.
One result of the delay in
the Twenty-firSt and K land
sale will be to increase the city's
estimated budget deficit from
SIS million to ST million. Off
cials had estimated that the
tract would sell for about 81
million.
Price Underestimated
The increase in the estimated
budget deficit means city Of
ficialS will have to come up
with spending delays on addi-
tional public works projects
that will equal the So million
figure.
The reason the city cannot
finance the cost of the new
precinct site is that officials
undereStimated the price of
the land desired.
Under a plan approved by
the Commissioners last April,
the old firehouse at 1888 New
Hampshire avenue NV. will be
torn down and seven adjacent
lots will be purchased for the
precinct house site.

$34.5 Million Plan
Adopted by WSSC
Mount Vernon
Sewage Plant
Funds Included
BY JAMES B. ROWLAND
Star staff Writer

Star Staff Writer
The Washington Suburban
Commission today
adopted a five-year, $34.5 mil
lion construction program which
includes a controversial sewage
treatment plant opposite Mount
Vernon.
The SIT million sewage plant,
in the 1961-63 work schedule,
was kept in the program in spite
of Federal Government plans
to buy shoreline property to
preserve the view from Mount
Vernon.
Robert j. Mcleod, chief en-
gineer of the WSSC, said there
probably are other uSable sites
in the Piscataway Bay area for
the sewage treatment plant in
addition to what the Govern
ment will want to buy.
I'VE haven't looked at any
specific ground but I feel sure
there must be some there" Mr..
Mcleod said.
Commission plans for a plant
on the South Shore of Piscat-
away Bay across the Potomac
River from Mount Vernon have
been fought by a number of
residents in the area for nearly
a year.
Aided Cause
Their cause was aided by the
Prince Georges County Com
missioners, the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, other park
and conservation groups and
the Mount Vernon Ladies AsSo-
citation.
Their pleas prompted Con-
greSs to authorize the National
Park Service to spend nearly 81
million to buy 1,186 shoreline
acres to save the Potomac River
view from George Washington's
home. The Government ex-
poets another 600 acres in dona-
tionS.
The $34.5 million program in
cludes expenditures of SO mil
lion in Prince Georges County.
S9.4 million in Montgomery
County and SIC million for ex-
panding the District sewer line
and Blue Plains treatment plant
which handles WSSC sewage.
Two minor changes were
made from the original pro-
posal, at the request Of the
Montgomery County Council.
They are:
A trunk sewer extension along
the North branch of Rock Creek
shall not go beyond the Olney
Tributary, about 0.8 miles south
of Bowie Mill road, and, work
on the milestone branch of the
proposed Seneca Creek trunk
sewer shall be limited to plan
ming and no actual construction
will be started.
Gets Reluctant Blessing
The Montgomery County
Council reluctantly last night
gave its blessing to the 1862
portion of the five-year pro-
gram.
The council at the same time
declined to review the re-
mainder of the WSSC's five
year plan. 1t was the councils
last opportunity to exercise its
veto power over the first year
Of the plan. Under law the
councils consent would have
been assumed if they had not
vetoed the plan by Saturday.
In a policy resolution passed
last night, council members said
they wanted to wait for the
completion of a general land
use plan for the county before
sewers were routed as proposed
in the five-year plan. The reso-
luton, which will be forwarded
to the WSSC. also said the
council wanted ito adequately
review" three master plans for
the county's midsection and the
Metropolitan Area, year 1000
plan.

In announcing the expan-

was doing so ito avoid any
possible inadvertent errors in

said the committee hence

certain difficulties" the eX-
ecutive added, 224 or 79 per
cent of this group of 283
wards were to be found in
Orthodox institutions.
The executive also con-
demned the "virulent propa-
ganda campaign" conducted
by certain circles in Israel
and abroad" about the alb
sorption of this particular
group of Youth Aliyah wards.
The executive called the cam
paign "senseless libel and un-

Story by Negro

COLUMBIA, s. c., June z

Gov. Hollings expressed the
opinion after saying that the

abducted by a group Of men
who covered his face, drove him
in a car to another spot where

connection with an assault on
a 40-year-old housewife on
May IL.
Police said that Hughes Of
the 500 block of Quackenbos

woman's apartment in the
Brightwood section and raped
her at the point Of a knife as
her 9-year-old daughter lay
in another bed in the same

and took $22 from a purse be-
fore fleeing, police said.

in the discovery Of prints that
matched fingerprints found in

in debt. has admitted breaking
into the apartment building
