Byrd Breaks Tradition, Gets What He Asks for District

with local. variations, all over
the country.
So. Senator Byrd is in a
position, whether accidental or
calculated, to focus a national
spotlight on welfare, crime and
education problems - all sub
ject to aggravation in a city
of the size and nature of Wash
ington.
This could mean political ad-
vantages in the usually thank =
less District job for Senator
Byrd.
Quite apart from his own
interests, the interests of good
city government probably will
be served by studied attention
of any conscientious member
of Congress.
Works Best at Night
And Senator Byrd's reputa-
tion for persistence is firm. His
colleagues say he works best
at night. His decision to take
the District chairmanship was
made at night, on a cold drive
through West Virginia, between
telephone conversations with
Appropriations Com mite e
Chairman Hayden, Democrat
Of Arizona.
Then he prowled the Dis
trict's precincts with police un-
til 1880 am. before hearings.
He crammed on welfare sta
tistics and talked to relief crit
les past 2 o'clock in the morn
ing during the week when he
was hearing witnesses on an
average of eight hours a day.
He made his decision to run
for the Senate in 1858 at night,
after a conference at which
he got John l.. Lewis advice
to stay in the House. His wife
was the first to know. He called
her from q "cold, little old tele-
phone booth beside the road"
the Senator said.
Senators marveled d at his
nocturnal stamina in 1860. He
took the chair as presiding Of
ficer in the civil rights debate
for 81 hours and 8 minutes
beginning in midafternoon.
And his surprisingly in
formed defense of a military
promotion for a West Virginian
against veteran Senator Mar
garet Smith. Republican Of
Maine, this year was delivered
at night. He'd stayed up until
3 am. to prepare.
Reared on Farm
He got used to long hours
on the dirt farm where he was
reared in Southern West
Virginia.
His mother died on Armistice
Day, 1918. Just before she died
she asked her husbands sister
to raise Robert. The Senator,
born in North WilkSboro, N. c.,
never lived with his father. his
three older brothers or sister
afterwards.

When he was 8, his foster
parents moved to West Vir-
ginia. His uncle, dad" to the
future Senator, worked in the
mines. The boy studied at night
beside an oil lamp, started the
hike to school at dawn with
his quart fruit jar of r.ilk
under his arm. Screech owls
welcomed him home.
In school. he loved" mathe.
matics. liked history and hac

grades below A-persisted wher
he started in his first of foul
colleges Is years after he was
valedictorian of Mark Twain
High at Stotesbury.
Now he's almost earned his
law degree from George Wash
ington University.
Played Mountain Music
The only fiddling the Sena-
tor allows himself apparently
is on the violin. A yen fol
Schubert gained him first chair
in his high school orchestra
After he heard some old-time
fiddlers. he said, it wasn't long
before I liked mountain music
better than Schubert"
He campaigned with his vio-
lin, in foot-stomping style, fol-

as successfully as he has for
himself in his home State.
Way back there, when I was
a little fellow in the country,
had a feeling I was going to be

BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

A tight Tipped freshman Sen
ator with a compulsion to excel
has made welfare, police and
schools in the Nations Capital
his business.
Robert C. Byrd moved into
these areas with the same de-
termination he showed as a boy,
when he memorized his mathe-
matics on the Smile walk home
through the hollow from the
last school bus stop, in rural
West Virginia.
The prerogatives of Senator
Byrd, 43, we're clear today after
Congress passed a $270 million
money bill carrying every major
item he sought.
Few of his predecessors as
Senate District Appropriations
Subcommittee chairman have
emerged in the same role as an
overseer of the Federal City.
Senators have built a sort of
tradition of giving" the city
what it wants-and then yield
ing to more economy-minded
House conferees whose de-
mandS would finally prevail.
Senator Byrd broke the ira
dition. He didn't ask for what
he couldn't get.
Armed With Data
He talked with House men,
bers before his own committee
acted. He became convinced
he'd lose more than he'd gain
by insisting on a Federal pay
ment and tax yields different
from those fixed by the House.
