Peace Corps personnel come to
Peru "it will be a great help
to our country"
Sister Mary Violette, a phi
losophy teacher who will attend

would benefit Peru IF those
who come are trained and have

For the two nuns from Brazil
news of Janio QuadroS' resigna-

country had been of special
interest, evoking slightly diff

sisters, both Of whom will study
at McAuley College in Ro-

Both thought developments
in Brazil were very confusing
and difficult" But Sister Marie

Mcmillan Claims
Smear bySome
Of Local Press

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee said
today he was the victim of
"underhanded tactics" used by
members of the local press. "
Mr.. Mcmillan. Democrat of
South Carolina, said he had
been smeared because of his
opposition to home rule. His
remarks were contained in to-
days Congressional Record, in
which he inserted two clippings
from South Carolina news
papers which supported Mr..
McMillan's views on local self
government.
He told members of the
House:
Il hope every member will
take time to read the articles,
as I am certain every member
realizes the pressure that I
have been under during the IA
years ] have been chairman of
the District Committee from
certain sources here in Wash
ington to report a home rule
bill to the floor of the
House.
Il have personally been
smeared and had every under
handed tactic used on me since
l have served as chairman of
the District Committee by GER
tain members of the local press
for the simple reason that I
oppose (home rule) legislation"
At another point in the
Record. Mr.. Mcmillan said:
". If we are to continue
to have a free press in the
United States, we must have
more editors who will refrain
from giving the people slanted
views of the news and discon-
tinue using the press as a man
ner Of Smearing public officials
who happen to disagree with
their views on certain legiSla-
ton"

case a driver was charged with
falling to observe the yield
signs.
Property damage in the six
collisions totaled $3.50 and
seven persons were treated for
injuries. All the accidents oc-
Cured on weekdays, usually
during rush hours.
The barrage of accidents
brought several complaints
from area residents to Francis
Twiss, deputy highway director
for traffic, and several calls to
newspapers.
The Highway Department
capitulated today and rein
stalled a stop sign for each
direction at the intersection
This came less than two hours
after the sixth accident, which
injured one driver and caused
$500 in property damages.

GirI,16,Gets
90 Days for
Wild Drivinq

A 16-year-old girl is serving
so days in the Prince Georges
County Jail on traffic charges
resulting from a Smile police
chase.
Upper Marlboro Police Court
Judge William II. McGrath i'm
posed the penalty on Pearl Mae
Jones of the 500 block of Forty
second street NE, arrested
last Wednesday after the high
speed chase by State Trooper
William Gerland, jr.
Trooper Gerland said he was
talking to another notorist
south of Camp Springs on
Route. 381 when he saw a car
weaving on the road. He said
he tried to flag the car down
but it picked up speed.
The car ran a red light while
turning onto Allentown road,
struck another car and kept
going toward Silver Hill at
speeds up to rs miles per hour,
police said. Just past Route 5
and Auth road the car stopped
and the girl and a man scamp
cred up a 10-foot embankment,
Trooper Gerland said.
He said he was able to stop
them after a short foot race.
The girl was sentenced
Thursday by Judge McGrath to
a $l00 fine or so days for reck-
less driving, $3.50 or go days
for leaving the scene of an ac-
cident, $50 or 80 days for driv-
ing without a permit, and $25
or 10 days for failing to obey
a policeman. Court officials
said she was unable to pay the
fines, and Judge McGrath Or
dered the sentences to run con-
currently.
She is being held by herself
in a juvenile cell. In Prince
Georges, juveniles are tried in
Police Court on traffic charges.
The man who accompanied
her, Robert E. General, %, of
the 300 block of L street NV,
yesterday was found guilty by
Judge McGrath on a charge Of
being drunk. He also got a 60
day Jail sentence, plus a 500
fine.

in one case and $40 in another.
The false pretense charges al
legged he knew he couldn't fix
the tickets.
In the first case, Frank C.
McClosky of the $500 block
of Old Fort road, Friendly,
Md, testified he gave Jordan
$50 to take care Of a speeding
ticket.
Jordan, who maintained he
was performing a perfectly le-
gitimate service, said he took
the ticket to a filling station
operator, William E. Camp
bell, jr.
Mr.. Campbell of the 6400
block of, Hemlock place, Temple
Hills, Md, testified he had
a conclusion IL years ago
and has difficulty remember
ing things.
Police Customers
He said, however, that he
had many police customers and
many taxi driver customers and
is frequently asked if he can
do anything to help ticket
recipients.
Police Pvt. Charles G. Hood,
of the traffic division, said
Mr.. Campbell had asked him,
as a personal favor, to see
what he could do to quash Mr..
Met CloSkey's ticket.
Pvt. Hood, who said he re-
ceived no money, said he spoke
to the arresting officer about
the cab drivers ticket. IF !
can help somebody, I will"
Pvt. Hood testified.
The ticket was never fixed.
Mr.. McCloSkey, a cab driver
since 1913, found this out when
he went to the hackers bureau
at police headquarters to re-
new his license.
In the second case, John M
Kuntz, rs. of the 1400 block OF
E street Sc, testified he got
a ticket for making a U-turn at
a controlled intersection March
10.
Mr.. Kuntz said he gave the
ticket and $40 to Jordan,
Jordan, however, maintained he
was given the $40 later as q
tip"
Also Not Fixed
Jordan, a cab driver for 16
years and now a taxi starter at
Union Station, said he asked a
buddy" a police precinct de-
tective, to try to help.
This ticket also was not
fixed.
Jordan, through Lawyer Earl
H. Davis, told the jury there

JobIess Pay
Rise Backed
By Senators

The Senate District Commit
tee today reported a bill to
raise pay to jobless Washing
tonians. 1t provided larger
amounts than voted yesterday
by the House.
Senate figures still fall short
of the increases sought by local
labor leaders. Committee ac-
tion seems to point toward a
solution, if one can be reached
in this session, closer to the
business community's Sugges-
tions for reform in the House
bill. -.
The Senate committee voted
to raise current mamimums OF
$50 for 26 weeks to so per cent
of the average wage of covered
workers-or $47-for "a weeks
House Maximum Lower
The House bill calls for a
maximum of $38 for 26 weeks,
Labor spokeSmen had sup
ported a liberal measure, intro
duced by Democratic Senator
Morse of Oregon and Repre-
sentative Multer of New York
to boost benefits to $72 for 80
weeks.
There have been no Signifi-
cant changes in District unem-
ployment compensation laws
since 1854, and business and
labor interests pitted against
each other on details have
agreed for several years that
some amendment is vital.
Other differences in the
two versions relate to dis
qualification provisions. The
House bill would reduce jobless
pay by the amount of pensions
received by persons who volun-
tarily retired.
Senate Provisions
The Senate bill, picking up
District Commissioners pro-
posals, would cut out compen-
Sation entirely If pensioned per-
sons retired voluntarily. But
the Senate committee would
not bar joblesS pay of retirees
who left work because of a
company rule of union agree
ment.
The House would stop bene-
fits of workers who quit, were
fired or refused to take suitable
jobs until those unemployed
went back to work and earned
eight times their weekly benefit
amount.

HE WAS SENT to the male
principal, where he repeated
it. The principal called him
impertinent, impudent and
insolent, then threatened to
strap him. He (the boy was
just dumb. If he had said, Il

have been no scene.

them in some of the games
in the school yard, "The
Farmer in the Dell" and
London Bridge"
Schools today have play
ground directors who en-
courage these games and
have the words on mimeo-
graphed sheets-which is a
good thing. But our games

We liked our teacher but
we didn't bring her apples.
Come to think of it, one boy
did.
We liked getting back to
school and what a lot Of
Dragging and lying and gos-
sip and scandal we traded
about what had been going
on all summer.
Everything was competi-
tive. The best spoilers went
to the county spelling bee.
The best scrolls of elliptical
spirals (The Palmer Method)
were sent to the county fair.
The best reciters were asked
to perform on stage at school
assembly. This writer never
won such honorS. But he
was not Scared by disap-
pointment. He actually took
pride in being in the same

This all came about Wnen
he decided he would be an

He doesn't recall whether
this was due to the influence
of religion or to the natural
development of manly char
acter. He was late one day.
Instead Of giving an excuse
he said that he was late be-
cause he had started late.
He was surprised at the re-
action but he was stuck with
that story and he had to

Trading Stamps Bill
Clears Senate Unit
School Transit
Subsidy Plan
Also Approved

A House-pasSed bill to per-
NIT trading stamps to be used
in the District today cleared
the Senate District Commit
tee.
Other legislation reported at
what probably will be this ses-
Sion'S last District Committee
meeting included a controver-
Sial subsidy to D. C. Transit
Co. for hauling children to
and from school, a unifica-
ton of District welfare laws,
a reorganization of variable
annuity insurance operations
and a frightened anti-gambling
measure.
The trading stamp bill
makes no mention of trading
stamps. Instead, it repeals an
1871 statute which has barred
the use of stamps in local
stores.
The statute - a So-called
gift enterprise law - also has
prevented national manufac-
turers from offering sales of
goods with prizes, bonuses or
extra ware attached.
Sales Continued
These sales have continued,
however, because District Of
ficialS admitted the law was
impossible to enforce. It's re-
peal, sought by large manufac-
turers, opens the door to trad
ing stamps now in use in at
least 48 States, including Vir-
ginia and Maryland.
The Transit subsidy is in for
a rough go in the House. The
Senate committee reported a
bill calling for an annual sub
sidy of about $500,000. This
amount represents the differ
ence between the current 10
cent school fare and the lowest
adult fare bought on a token
basis at 20 cents.
A House subcommittee buried
a similar bill to grant a 15-cent
subsidy, representing the diff
ference between the 10-cent
children's fare and the 25-cent
adult cash fare. House mem
bers, in effect, asked D. C.
Transit to seek a 12.5-cent
school fare to which the COM
pany is entitled as half its
adult fair, under its congress
Sional franchise.
Orders Amendment
In addition to cutting the
subsidy from a proposed $780,
900 to $500,000 annually, the
Senate committee also ordered
the drafting of an amendment
guarding against the subsidy
returning to D. C. Transit
profits above the rate of return
found reasonable by the Ma
tional Capital Transportation
Commission.
Company spokesmen did not
want any profit percentage
written into the bill. The Dis
trict Public Utilities Commits
sion wanted its rate of 4.9 per
cent. But Senate committee
men decided to give the newly
created area regulatory COM
mission discretion to fix the
subsidy according to its own
assessment of the profit per-
centage rather than freezing
the determination in law or
leaving discretion to the Dis
trict P. U. C.

Colombia Hailed
By Cuban ExiIes

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. II (AP.-
Cuban exile leaders today hailed
Colombia's break with Cuba and
said the Pan-American foreign
ministers meeting January 10,
instigated by Colombia, could
well be the turning point to
save the continent from COM

Colombia's break Saturday
night followed similar action by
the United States, Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Honduras, Ell Sal
7ador, Paraguay, Dominican Re-
public, Haiti, Peru, Costa Rica
and Venezuela, making IL Am
erican republics which have
severed relations with Fidel

The action by Colombia came
