~ the Associst.d Press

The Justice Departments
civil rights division said yes
terday it still is looking into
alleged November 8 voting ir-
regularities in Illinois, Texas
and Tennessee.
The head Of the division. As
sistant Attorney General Har-
old r. Tyler. jr.. said this in a
year-end report to Attorney
General Rogers.
He disclosed also that pros
ecutions have been authorized
in some areas where annony-
nous political literature was
circulated in connection with
contests for Federal office. Mr..
Tyler declined to identify these
areas pending the filing of
formal charges.
The Justice Department an
nounced last week that a Fed
eral grand jury in Chicago had
indicted two Democratic pre-
cinct workers on charges of
vote-buying in the general
election. The indictment al
legged that the inducement
ranged from 81 bills to, free
dinners.
Mr.. Tyler said today the FBI
is now investigating complaints
of vote-buying in San Antonio
and Houston, Tex. and that
another investigation is going
forward into reported ghost
voting" at Milan. Tenn. The
civil rights division received
complaints that the total No
vember 8 vote there exceeded
the adult population.
Most of Mr.. Tyler,s report
dealt with division activity
during 1860 in seeking to pro-
tect Negro voting rights In
Southern States.
The report said the Supreme
Court had sustained the Gov
emment in four vital voting
rights cases" brought under

noted that all lower court

been decided in favor Of the

Queried Him About Job

ATLANTA. Jan. 4 CAP).-
Gov. Ernest Vandiver said
today president-elect Kennedy
called him last night to ask
him If he would be interested
in appointment as Secretary
Of the Army.
II emphasized to him that
I had not sought the post, was
not seeking It now and would
not seek It," the Governor
said.
But the statement, tele-
phoned from I the executive

did not say he would not ac-
cept the Job.
Gov. Vandiver quoted Mr..
Kennedy as denying q New

subjected him to pressure re-
garding the appointment.
Speculation Reused
The Vandiver statement re-

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Hitch Gets Chance
To Practice Theory

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4 (AP).
Charles j. Hitch has written
a book about economy in de-
tense spending.
Soon he'll get a chance to
do something about it.
Yesterday President elect
Kennedy appointed him chief
financial officer Of the Defense
Department, which has a
budget of about $40 billion a
year and is the biggest spender
among Government depart
mentS.
I'm going to give it the best
I have for as long as I'm
needed" Mr.. Hitch said last
night.
Mr.. Hitch, a 5-foot-8. 150-
FOUNDER with brown hair, will
be 81 years old January 9. He
has been with the Rand Corp,
a firm of scientific consultants,
for 13 years-most recently as
chief of its research council.
He will sever connections with
Rand before taking over as an
Assistant Defense Secretary at
$4,000 a year.
It'll entail financial sacri-
tce," he said. but nothing that
I can't live with"
Missouri Native
Mr.. Hitch was born apd
reared in Boonville, Mo- a
small town on the Missouri
River between st. Louis and
Kansas City. He was graduated
With honors from the Univer-
sity of Arizona and did grad
iate work at Harvard-the
President-elect's alma mater
before taking a Rhodes
scholarship.
In 1941, he was on the United
States Lend-Lease Mission to
london. Later he served two
years with the War Production
Board and three years with the
Army's Office of Strategic Serv-
ices.
He has never been active in
politics, has never thought Of
seeking public Office.
His book, Economics Of De-
tense in the Nuclear Age" was
published last year. 1t deals
with problems of stretching the
defense dollar.
MY problem. as I see it, is to |
get the most out Of what we do |
spend on defense" he said.
The question of how much to
spend is Mr.. Kennedys' prob
lem. not mine"
Asked whether there has been
waste in defense spending, Mr.. |
Hitch said:
There is in every organiza-
ton. The practical question is |
how much you can get out Of
the money. I'll form my i'm
pressions on that as ] go along |
and know more about It,"
Daughter Named Caroline
Mr.. Hitch has been married
18 years. He and his wife. |
Nancy, met in washington
during the war;
Like his new boss. Mr.. Hitch
has a daughter named Caro-
line. She is a year old.
The home MIR. Hitch and his |
family will soon move out of |
Is one they Just moved into |
at nearby Pacific Palisades. It'si
q two-story English-style house
not far from the sea. They |
hope to rent it-and return
to it some day.
Again like his new boss, Mr.. |
Hitch is an occasional golfer.
His work has permitted him to
get on the course about once
a week. and he shoots in the |
high 80s.
Mr.. Hitch is a Presbyterian
and a Democrat. But when
he was asked whom he voted
for in the last presidential
election he said:
That's an embarrassing ques-
ton"
But not for the reason most
people would Immediately sus-
pect.
The reason is because didn't
vote at ALL" he said. I'VE
moved shortly before the elec-
ton and overlooked the fact |
that when a person moves he |
has to re-register."

A New Town Look

Hundreds of motorists cast quizzical glances as
the man tackled up the sign in full view of a long
line of bumper-to-bumper suburban-bound traffic.
IF YOU LIVED HERE, YOU WOULD BE HOME
ALREADY" the sign read
1t provoked many a grin, for this of
Washingtons most miserable downtown Slums
Nobody would want to live there if he had any
choice" skeptics agreed
Yet only few years later, the slum was gone.
This crime -nfested diSease-rdden blighted neigh
borhood had been magcally transformed.
"The old Foggy Bottom has been almost for
gotten" said a newspaper account "Slums have
been erased the restoration neighborhood has been
turned into Showplace land values have pyramided
and the surrounding area has become one Of the
most desirable in the city"
Evening star., 1961-09-17
Behind the Change

The miraculous change in Foggy Bottom is typical
of the vast metamorphosiS ahead for many Wash
ington neighborhoods of single-famiy homes. It is
one Of the symbols of the new city that is cheering
the downhearted-and persuading the skeptics 1t
epitomizes variety Of new look" neighborhoods that
each in its way-are giving intown Washington an
orderly new residential character
Not many years ago, more and more people were
despairing of cities Unthinkingly, they saying
that slums were inevitable, that nothing could be
done about deterioration. Like tidal wave, they
imagined that blight would enguf Washington that
the only escape to some imagined haven beyond
the District line.
In the face of this near-hystera, two things
happened
/. The restoration movement was launched in
small way.
2. Uncle Sam began to take a look at what could
be done with Government help-through sum clear
ance and public housing and, later, through urban
renewal.
On these two fronts, almost entirely unrelated to
each other, experimentation was begun. Washington
became sort of urban laboratory Ideas and schemes
to turn the tide of blight were tested.
Private individuals had the courage to risk their
own funds, on the one hand. And on the other Con-
gress had the good to recognize that the quality
Of cities was national problem.

well as busy and useful-are being given all-out
support.
The updated city is largely following historic
pattern in still another respect. That is by recog-
nizing that any community is collection of many
neighborhoods of varying quality
The big goal in Washington is that, wherever
they are each neghhorhood will adhere to the highest
possible standard Of appearance and thus, group,
supply desirable environment for families of differ
ent economic, social and cultural interests.
At the present stage, many once-declining Wash
ington neighborhoodS have long-since been touched
with the magic of attraction and desirablity. The
transformation of others Is still ahead. The new
vision of the desirable neighborhood allows for many
types of architectural and environmental treatment
many versions of urban style.

Washington in Leud

Today, as the result of these two almost entirely
unilatera efors-one private and the other Govern
ment sponsored-Washington is being acknowledged
throughout the country further advanced along the
comeback road than any other city.
Even significantly concepts of what cities
are-and should be-are becoming clearer. At the
forefront is the conviction that to be good city
must be attractive
Pursuing different courses, and using different
techniques private and public efforts increasingly
emphatic on this point. In the new Westinghouse
yet so little known-the overwhelmingly significant
factor is the quality of design
In spotlighting design a major element, those

Restoration Areas

Highly influential pattern for the new city
is the work now going on in Southwest Washington,
in the citys four restoration areas-Georgetown,
Capitol HILL the Kaorama Triangle and Foggy Bottom;
in the Dupont Circle area, in Burleith, Cleveland
Park, in streets east and west of intown Connecticut
avenue and in other areas where a headstart has
been gained.
Likewise influential will be the steps to revive the
northern edges of downtown, where residential re-
development can be expected; the increased atten-
ton being paid to the design Of public housing urban
renewal efforts in number of areas and an antici
pated general rise in the standard Of living, educa-
ton and culture on which the foundation of city
quality ultimately rests
Among the 5000 dwelling units projected for
Washngtons brand-new Southwest will be thou

Child Labor Law
For Farms Voted
Ry the Associated Press

Extension of the child labor
laws to some farm workers has
been approved by a House La
Dor subcommittee.
The bill would not apply to
a farmers own children and a
lower age limit would be set
for children working within
their own community with the
written consent of their par
ents.
Approval in the subcommit-
tee yesterday was by a 81
vote, with Representative Mar
tin, Republican of Nebraska, in
opposition.
The bill would provide that
farmer employing anyone
under 10 is liable for money
damages arising out of the
chlld's death or injury. no mat
ter who was at fault in the
accident. Any settlement made
under this provision would
have to be approved by the
courts.
To relieve farmers of the
heavy liability under such a
provision. the bill would pro-
vide that a farmer who en-
rolled his youthful worker
under a State workmen'S COM
pensation plan would not be
subject to any damage claim.

which doesn't recognize the
Castro government in Cuba
said yesterday it had paid dou-
BILE indemnity on the life of a
man shot by a Cuban firing
squad.
Minnesota Mutual Life In
surance Co. held that the
death of Howard F. Anderson

an organized government. but
as the result of violence at the
hands of an unruly and dis
organized mob"
Mr.. Anderson of Miami, Fla,
owned several automobile Serv-
ice stations in Havana. He was
arrested by Castro forces April
10, accused of smuggling and
shot by a firing squad.
Mr.. Anderson had bought a
81, 900 policy from the st. Paul
firm in 1887. It contained a
clause providing double bene-
fits in the event of death by
external, violent and accidental
means"
Officials of the company
said the double indemnity
would not have been paid if
Mr.. Anderson had been "exe-
cuted by a duly organized gov
eminent"
The $4,000 payment was
made to Mr.. Anderson's mother.
