it quickly decided to compromise.
Afterwards 1t became apparent
that warmed-over programs of
other years had better be handled
first, because they were relatively
easy.
The hard jobs were left for last
and finally never did get done.
There were two big steps forward
and perhaps this is all they should
have tried for: the establishment
Of the Peace Corps and the new
Disarmament Agency. But we were
told so much about other deficien-
cies, from the nonresident missile
gap to medical neglect Of the aged,
the public expected bold new ap-
proaches which were never forth
coming.
Another tactical error was de-
hberateIy to lay aside the fight
to curb the fIlibuster. This was
a move to appeaSe the Old South
which, demonstrated as usual,
that aPpeasement rarely works
and went right on fighting New
Frontier legislation.
Then there was the medical care
bill. After a look at the real
tiles, it was put over to next
session Some believe this may
yet prove a political bonanza in
a campaign year; but it also could
become a booby-trap If the Demo-
Gratis don't deliver.
The miscalculation which NAV
prove costliest and has severely
shaken confidence In the new Ad-
ministration was the mishandling
Of the school aid program. The
Administration began to fight too
late with too little. Yet this was
the one piece of legislation that
really tested the Presidents abil-
ity to deliver what had been prom
Used in the campaign. It involved
not only a battle with the hier-
archy Of his own Church but with
the conservative coalition.
It was the kind Of contest that
other presidents, FDR for example,
might have welcomed. Roosevelt
would have gone straight to the
people and told them exactly what
he was up against Kennedy might
have proposed that the religious
issue be met head-on by suggest
ing that opponents Of public school
aid seek a constitutional amend
ment II they wanted TO alter the
accepted meaning Of separation Of
church and state. After a feeble
start, there was no leadership.
The education battle would have
been a glorious fight In a glorious
cause. And the glory would have
been the Presidents.

Record Since 1885

Washingtons well-educated population its spread
to the far corners Of the city, its movement into newly
transformed areas, recognized principally with
makeshift quarters and bookmobile service until the
blooming of library branches beginning in 1883
The determined residents of Cleveland Park
started the movement They got branch of their
own.
Librarian Harry N. Peterson and the Board Of
Library Trustees, long aware that the city was out
growing its previous facilities took the story to the
Commissioners and Congress-and at last got SYM
pathetic reaction. Here's what's happened since:
The Anacostia branch, previously in a rented
store, opened at Eighteenth street and Good Hope
road Sc in 1855.
The Woodbridge branch, also housed in a rented
store opened at Eighteenth street and Rhode Island
avenue in 1885,
The Washington Highlands branch previously
stop on the bookmobile route, opened at Atlantic
street and South Capitol Terrace S.W. in 1859.
The Tenley- Friendship branch, previously housed
in abandoned police station, opened at Wisconsin
avenue and Albemarle street NV. in 1860.
The Fort Davis branch, in an area also served
only by bookmobile, opened at Alabama avenue and

public works program is doing its part to meet the
needs of the new Washington.
The basis for this development is the scientific
finding that the higher the education the greater the

Washington according to the surveyors rank highest
among seven cities Of comparable size not only in the
median school years completed but in the number of
people completing four more years of college.

Future Plans


The present and anticipated demand for books
by the total population from pre-school children to
retired people anxious to keep up with world events
has prompted the Commissioners to include these
branches in its public works program for future
Struction:
A Capitol View branch at Fiftieth and East Capt.

reflect the heaviest demand for books of any
area in the city.

new Southwest branch library to serve the
expected highly lterate population of the South
west. When the branch is built-near the Town
Center Shopping Plaza to make it easy for shoppers
to borrow books-the present branch located in the
east wing of Jefferson Junior High School will be
used exclusively to provide space for the burgeon

Hampshire avenue and M street NV to serve Sec

Although the branches have in recognition of
the growth of population, the Central Library has
had no such recognition The population has tripled
since Andrew Carnegie contributed the Central Library
at Eighth and streets NV in 1908
The future, however, holds promise for the Gen.

new Central Library has recognized the deficiencies
of the old and recommended new building in the
heart of the downtown shopping area.
When that recommendation becomes reality, the

Maris Hits No. 58 . Wants a Day of Off

BALTIMORE R = In a state ment as startling as the 58th home run he hit Sunday, Roger Maris said today he is thinking of asking manager Ralph Houk to give him day off during the three-g game series with Baltimore starting Tuesday.
 Needing three more home runs in the next three games to break Babe Ruth's record of 60 in 154- game season, such a request by the New York Yankee slugger sounds ridiculous. But the serious minded slugger said it with a straight face.
 "I'm pushed" Maris repeated a remark he has made a number of times in the past two weeks
 Record or not, I'm thinking of asking Ralph for day off which ever Barber Baltimore lefthand- CT Steve Barber) pitches. He's rough on me. And I can use the rest"
 Houk has no intention of giving iMaris a day off: not until the pen nant is clinched, anyway. The Yankees need only two more vic- tories, or two Detroit defeats, to clinch the flag.
