Plans for a public housing
project in Alexandria have been
delayed anew while the city
tries to save a 155-year-old
church within the proposed site.
The city council last night
voted to defer action on the
site recommended by the re-
development and housing au-
thority covering nearly five
square blocks south of the city'S
downtown business district, and
asked the housing agency to
seek ways to save the church.
The pastor, the Rev. A. w.
Adkins, of the Alfred Street
Baptist Church, 313 South Al
fred street, came to the council
meeting to deliver the invoca-
ton.
He heard the housing pro-
poSal outlined by spokesman
for the authority, then rose to
oppose the plan to erect the
225-unit project that would
condemn his l55-year- old Negro
church.
Consideration Urged
Councilman James M. Dun
can urged consideration by the
authority and the city's pian-
ming commission of vacating a
portion of Wolfe street to make
room for the units now slated
for the church site.
The suggestion of vacating
the street was made by Thorpe
Richards. president If the Old
Town Civic Association.
An earlier site proposed for
the $2.5 million project was
rejected by the council after
Negro residents of the site area
opposed it.
Hearing Proposed
A proposal by the Old Town
group that the council take
over the housing agency drew
sharp comment from housing
officials.
They said they would not op.
pose the move, but asked fol
a deferral until after the city
elections, and called for a pub,
lie hearing on the issue.
The officials countered the

WASHINGTON
= went to see John F. Kennedy, the President of
L the United States, not as the Chief Executive of
our country, but as Pulitzer Prize winning histo
rian - the author of ''Pro6les in Courage had
talked with him many times before about the
lessons of the past, and now his thoughts turned
to former Presidents, many of whom had sat In
that same Oval Room Office in the White House.
He had come through trying time of crisis in
his first few months in Office Laos. Cuba but
like many great leaders, Lincoln, Wilson, Winston
Churchill, his sense of urgency about current
happenings did not dim his appreciation of what we
learn from history.
The President has made study of the troublous
beginnings of every Presidential Administration
since the founding of the Republic. Below are some
outstanding examples of valor which he selected
and discussed with me = those which have meant
the most to him in his own period of lonely trial:

April 3O 1879, he stepped directly into morass of

had to borrow 900 pounds from friend in order to
move to New York from Virginia to take over the
reins of Government The Governments paper

Vermont, Rhode Island and North Carolina away
from their position of recalctrance; he had laid to
rest widespread fears of tyranny by pushing the
Bill of Rights through the Congress.
He had assembled a brilliant working Cabinet in
Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox
and Edmund Randolph; the new Government began
to levy taxes and establish sound currency; new
civil SERVICE far different from the corrupt systems
of Europe, was created; and an efficient Federal
Judiciary, with John Jay as Chief Justice, was
appointed.
In matter of months, Washington not only had
welded the squabbling excolonies into struggling
but cohesive nation, but had established his own
place in history as one of the greatest Chief
Executives this country has ever had.

N7ou ordinarily do not think of John Quincy

He came into Office under cloud. In the election

Andrew Jackson, but with Henry Clay and William

For light summer reading
guaranteed not to tax the
patience Of legislators or tell
taxpayers too much, the House
has produced a 100000 publica-
ton about its own cost of liv-
ing.
The bulky volume, crammed
with financial figures and
sketchy notes in small type.
lists expense accounts of House
members, committees and
staffs from June. 1858, to June,
1859.
1t includes thousands of
items reporting how much was
spent and in general where it
went. But conspicuous by their
absence are detailed explana-
tions telling exactly who spent
the money and for what precise
purposes.
Even if the book were dis
tinguished for such frankness,
however, it probably would not
surprise many readers at this
late date. News stories in re-
cent years combed most of
these same House expense ac-
counts. They disclosed strange
ways that various members
charged Congress for things
ranging from front-porch Of
fices in home districts to the
presence of relatives on the
payroll.
Representative Frank Smith,
Democrat Of Mississippi, chair
man Of the House Administra-
ton subcommittee that put out
the book, said Volume 2 would
be off the presses in another
few weeks. This will list ex-
penses through June, 1860.

Dividing Costs
On Dam Called

Col. John U. Allen, District
engineer, warned yesterday that
"a terrific job" Of organizing
will be required to work out an
agreement among the Potomac
River Basin States to pay for
the non-Federal cost of dam
construction.
The colonel told the National
Capital Section Of the Ameri-
can Society of Civil Engineers
that a substantial share of the
bill for building dams in the
Potomac Basin must be borne
by the local or State govern
ments.
The District office of the
Corps Of Engineers has already
recommended construction of a
$50 million dam on the North
Branch of the Potomac and is
expected to propose next June
building of several more dams
in the Potomac Basin at a
total cost Of about $400 mil
lion.
