KimbIe's Job Top One
To Be Filled by Towes

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 20 (AP).-
Robert B. Kimble's job as exec
utive director of employment
security will be the biggest up
for the grabs in the green bag
to be sent to the Maryland
Senate Wednesday.
Gov. Tawes is required to
send down nominees for IA
State agencies by Wednesday
in what has been known trad!-
tionally as the green bag.
Because it is mid-term for
the Governor, the list this time
is relatively short. Most of the
major State appointments are
for four years.

PAUL'S SUCCESS was due
in part to his correspondence
with trade magazines-sofne-
thing that made his income
a multiple of that Of most
Washington correspondents.
This enabled him to have an
assistant, Edgar Allen Poe,
and two wonderful women
employees, Miss Alice B. Hag-
gett, who was with him SO
years, and Miss Mary Nc
Naught, who was with him
eight years. This enabled
him to handle, among other
affairs, the annual dinner of
White House correspondents
and undertake at the suggeS-
ton of the British Embassy
the organiZa tion of the
JCPRTCNP for a reception
Of Princess Elizabeth, now
the Queen. The initials of
this biggest item ever found
in the Washington alphabet
soup stand for several organi-
cations, men and women, re-
porters and photographers,
TV and radio that make up
the Washington press corps.
Her Royal Highness asked
him If she should wear her
mink cape, carry 1t over her
arm or leave it off altogether.
One is tempted to say there
will always be a Paul Wooton
that is, someone, or two or
three, who will volunteer and
do the work. But there will
never be another Paul Woo
ton. He was sui generiS, q
brief way the Latins had oi
saying that the mold was
thrown away and we will

legislative proposal, due to be
given Congress later, is under
stood to include a new inn
pacted-area-fund program, but
administration officials have
refused to comment on it. It is
expected, however, to be below
what has been granted in re-
cent years in nearby Maryland
and Virginia, to some degree
off-setting the gains to be
found in today's Federal aid
proposal.
Special Uses Seen
Significant as far as the Dis
trict is concerned were admin
istration statements today to
the effect that a percentage of
school construction and teacher
salary ALLEGATIONS could be used
to improve Slum neighborhood
schools, to provide special pro-
grams for retarded or gifted
children, to- meet unusual ex-
penSes arising from school de-
segregation, or to aid expert
mental programs. The District
already is heavily engaged in
many such efforts and Is in
need Of more funds to keep the
programs going.
The college scholarship pro-
gram proposed by the Presi-
dent would span five years.
The District would get SIS, 300
to aid 78 scholarship students
in 1862 to $415,800 to help 594
students in fiscal 1866.
Similarly, Maryland would
get $270, 900 for 387 scholar
ship holders in 1862 to 50 mil
lion for 2,905 students in 1866.
Virginia would get 1865, 400 for
522 students in 1862 to $2.7
million for 3,917 students In
1866.
Particularly pleasing to
Washington area educators was
the fact that the overall aid
program carried no require
ment that the Federal funds
be matched by the States.
The President warned, how
ever, that the States may not
cut back on the amount they
are spending on schools. In
cases where the States are
spending too little, improve
ment would have to be made or
the affected State would be
penalized a portion of their
Federal assistance. The Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia,
however, do not come anywhere
near the too little" category,

reappointed by Democratic
Gov. Tawes. Mr.. Kimble is a
former State Republican Sena-
tor from Allegany County.
He is expected to run for
the office again in 1862.
Took Office in 1855
Mr.. Kimble took over as
head man of the Department
of Employment Security sud-
denly in mid-April Of 1855
while serving in the Senate.
He had been nominated by Re-
publican Gov. McKeldin.
The department was reor-
ganized in 1857. Mr.. Kimble
became executive director, with
a raise in annual salary from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Jobless pay provisions of
the department were given a
searching study last summer
by the Judiciary Committee of
the Legislative Council.
Another McKeldin appointee
slated to lose his job is c. Nor
ton Goldstein of Baltimore,
chairman of the Board of Mo-
tion Picture Censors.
He has been serving since
May, 1858, without the usual
Senate confirmation.
His name was sent to the
1859 Senate. BY then, Gov.
Tawes was in office. The Sem
ate took no action on Mr.. Gold
STEMS nomination for the $3,-
300 job.
Action Planned
Gov. Tawes wanted to, re-
place him last year. But the
Attorney General ruled it
couldn't be done in the 30-day
session.
1t will be done this week.
While the Senate confirma-
ton pickings are slim this
year, there are several other
worthwhile patronage appoint
ments available to Gov. Tawes
this year.
The six-year terms of two
Republicans with the Public
Service Commission are expir-
ing in June. One is the chair
man, Stanford Hoff of Carroll
County, who gets $4,000 a year,
and the other is General Coun-
sci Stanley Scherr of Balti-
more who receives $4,000.
The terms of LanSdale G.
Claggett, Thomas N. Kay, and
John j. McMullen on the Roads
Commission also are expiring.
But Go Tawes appointed
them originally when the COM
mission was reorganized in
1859 and so undoubtedly will
rename them to the $4,000 a
year positions.

The
Rambler
Writes
About Paul Wooton
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

ny NEVSG6 AENNEO1
What is the American
dream?
It's success, there's no
denying that.
But what is success?
That's an abstraction that
changes greatly in our form
ative years, the years of our
dreams, and somewhat from
generation to generation.
In boyhood dreams success
Is wearing a policemen's uni
form, driving a fire engine,
footing the locomotive
whistle.
These ideas are both ex-
panded by possibilities and
contracted by reality as we
enter young manhood.
There is a period when
success Is q million dollars,
another when it is the ad-
miration of ones fellows
and q third when it is to be Of
service.
These comm m onplace
thoughts got themselves on
paper as q start to q piece
on Paul Wooton, Washington
correspondent Of the New
Orleans Times-Picayune, who
died In q taxicab Thursday on
his way back from an NLRB
hearing.
Paul Wooton was a success.
He did not make a million
dollars; he did not win q
Pulitzer Prize; his reports on
the biggest news stories of the
day will not be found in
the textbooks.

The Federal educatioR bill proposed today by President
Kennedy would give the District Maryland Virginia $685.
million for school and improvement of teachers
salaries over the next three years.
The proposal scheduled go to Capitol Hill this week
Evening star., 1961-02-20

would give the District, $4.S
million; Maryland, $32.3 mil
lion and Virginia. 1924 million.
On learning Of the amount
designated for the District,
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
said this morning, TIE money
can certainly be well used"
A year-by-year breakdown
accompanying the proposal
shows the District would get
81, 500, 900 in fiscal 1862; ST.
$40, 900 in fiscal 1868, and ST.
635 900 in fiscal 1864.
Maryland would get 1876

Virginia would get $17,846.-

Based on Attendance
The three-year $2.3 billion
Nationwide program calls fol
distribution of the funds among
the States-including the Dis
trict-on the basis Of average
daily public school attendance
An equalization formula would
vary the amount per pupil from
a minimum of SIS to a maxi
mum Of $50.
The District would get the
minimum SIS allotment all
three years. Maryland, con-
sidered in a better -than-aver-
age financial status, would get
$500 per student in 1862
1882 in 1868 and $20.44 in
1868. Virginia, which is poorer
than Maryland but in fair fl
nancial condition, would gel
more per student: $22.88 the
first year, $26.06 the seconc
year and $29.07 the third year

BUT HE HAD MORE than
the admiration Of his fellows.
They loved him. And no one
in his generation was Of more
service to young persons in
what are now called the COM
munications media.
Add this romantic an
achronistic fruition of the
long, long thoughts of youth:
The boy, who struggled in a
Methodist manse over the
puzzling chapters of Dickens
"a Child's History of Eng
land" (someone was always
being taken to the Tower to
be beheaded), lived to walk

When the Rambler arrived
In washington, one of the
first persons he met was Paul
Wooton. Paul was then in his
middle years. The other day
the Rambler stopped into
Paul's office in the National
Press Building to see about
two seats at the coming
White House Press Cores
pondentS Dinner. Paul was
approaching old age. He was
20. He looked the same as
ever. Memory insists that he
had not changed one bit.
He was a short, somewhat
thickset Hoosier-yes, the
correspondent Of the Times
Picayune was born on q bank,
right or left is not recorded,
Of Swamp Creek, Clinton
County, Ind.
The newspaper industry
has stratified since Pauls
youth. Printers no longer
follow the footsteps of Mark
Twain and become writer's.
Paul had been a telegraph
operator-talked Morse code
with a key and listened with
the help Of a tobacco tin.
He once told how h e
courted his wife. She also
was a Morse operator. They
could recognize their friends
on the wire. Dots and dashes
transmitted personality as
well as words. They could
always tell whether a man or
q woman was sending. He be-
came interested in a woman
on the line whose sending
connoted "The Lass With a
Delicate Air" Her name was
Jewel Monday. He met and
married her in 1908. She died
