Star Staff Writer

John B. Duncan was sworn in
today as the Districts first
Negro Commissioner and called
for a greater spirit of "togeth-
erneSs" among Washington
residents.
Commissioner Duncan said
in his inaugural speech that
the resources of the community
can be used effectively only if
all the people work "as closely
together as we can"
The new Commissioner was
sworn in by Judge David L.
Bazelon of the United States
Court of Appeals before an
overflow crowd in the public
hearing room at the District
Building.
After this ceremony, an cr-
ganization meeting of the Board
Of Commissioners was held to
elect officers.
Unanimously Reelected
Commissioner Walter N.
Tobriner was reelected unan-
imously as president of the
board, and Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick j. Clarke was
unanimously named acting
president, a position needed in
the event of the illness or alb
sence of the president.
District health and welfare
activities, supervised by out
going Commissioner Robert E.
Mclaughlin, were assigned to
Commissioner Duncan.
At the swearing-in cere-
mony, Mr.. Tobriner welcomed
Mr.. Duncan and predicted
that "the community as a
whole will see Improvements
in District government as a
result of his service on the
board"
Mr.. Mclaughlin congratu-
lated his successor in assum-
ing this extremely delicate
position"
Gen. Clarke commended Mr..
Mclaughlin for his service and

The Rambler might as well
come clean with it.
Since the start of this ad-
miniStration he has been fas-
cinated by an exotic name.
Najeeb Halaby.
Mr.. Halaby, as the we'll
informed know, succeeded Ell
wood r. Quesada (come to
think of it, that's a bit exotic,
tool as head of the Federal
Aviation Agency.
"Najeeb Halaby" suggests

Citations far removed from a
Mach-2 jet pilot.
We stopped in on him the
other day. This reporter has
been interviewing new agency
heads for decades. It's sell
dom, if ever, that an admin
istrator has made such a
convincing 6 impression of
ability.
Nothing dynamic about this.
Najeeb Halaby can relax into
the repose of a figure by
Michelangelo.
He Is 6 foot l and weighs
165 pounds. At As a touch of
gray is showing up in his
dark hair. He has a long face

does more than his physiog-
nomy to suggest his Arab an

MY FATHER was the
Mayor of a little city in what
is now Lebanon" he said.
"He came to New York in the
'90S with the family treas
ures."
He laughed at this. The
LebaneSe are the sharpeSt
traders of the Levant. One
gathered that his father had
stocked up with merchan-
disc that made the journey
profitable.
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, the
widow of the President, who
was then living at Princeton,
became interested in him.
HE went to Dallas, Tex,
and opened the first interior
decorating, painting and fur
niture store in the Southwest.
1t is now a department of
Nieman-Marcus.
When he met my mother,
Laura Wilkins, she was a stu
dent at Southern Methodist
University. 1 was born in
Dallas"
Najeeb Halaby went to
school in California, Leland
Stanford, and took his law
at the University of Michigan
and at Yale. In the first year
of our participation in the
war he was a test pilot for
Lockheed. He was flying the
first P-38s, the twin-engine,
twin-fuselage fig ghters de-
signed to fly as high as the
japanese ZeroS. Then he be-
came a Navy test pilot.
Recently sky diving or sport
parachute jumping has be-
come so popular, especially
in California, that it has be-
come a menace to the air
lanes, to gardens, roofs and
awnings. When Mr.. Halaby
felt called upon to issue regu-
lations, he strapped a chute
on his back and jumped out
of a plane at $500 feet.

kind enough to answer my
question. During the Inaugu-
ration proceedings, and in
most instances since then,
when the President and Mrs.
Kennedy are together, he
precedes her by several steps.
This was particularly no.
ticeable during the Inaugura-
ton because she had been
so Ill just before and also
the weather was so inclem-
ent at the time. But ever
since, it is the same. He is
always a few steps ahead of
her. This has me wondering.
Am I old-fashioned, or is he
supposed to show his superb
ority on account of his Of
ficial capacity? I know in
countries of monarchical
forms of government the
ruler always precedes the
wife or husband, but in a
democracy like ours 1 did not
know this was done. Is there

SOME Of the walters also
dumped leftover food off
the plates onto the trays be-

complished two things. One,

that takes away any appe-
tite you may have left. Two,

what have you, are bound to

The whole performance is
objectionable and certainly
unnecessary. These actions
keep up even when a club
president is trying to make
an announcement, or the
Evening star., 1961-03-19

special speaker is trying to
make himself heard.
Another inexcusable habit
these walters have is when
they come around to collect
the ticket stub that each
diner is supposed to have,
they usually are not only
rude but downright be-
ligerent when they ask you
for it.
Perhaps you've mislaid
the stub in your purse.
While you hunt around for
it, a walters attitude all too
often is one Of mo tickee, no
lunchy"! This can prove ex-
tremely embarrassing par
ticularly to a club member
who may have several guests,
some of them quite
prominent.
1t is beyond my compre-
hension why the manage
ment' of these hotels allow
this rudeness and complete

disregard for the comfort Of
those attending these func-
tions to continue. After all
the hotel makes money, and
the walters receive generous
tips. I think something
should be done about this
deplorable situation which
is allowed to happen not just
once in awhile but usually.
Why can't a reliable head
waiter be put in charge to
see that something is done
to avoid and control this
unpleasantness?

MRS. B. A. c.
Answer-No, there is not.
I have heard this criticism
before from many others.
Usually, a President either
holds his wife's arm, assist
ing her up or down steps,
or he walks beside her.
President Kennedy is an ex-
tremely energetic young
man, and frankly I think
that this unfortunate habit
he has of preceding his wife
is done unconsciously. Per-
haps he will realize some day
soon that his thoughtless-
ness is causing comment.
