SEND A KID TO CAMP
Boys Hell ped Family
During Hard Times

Something for nothing is no
way of life, the boys father be-
lieveS.
He has taught them to give
service for gifts received.
A construction worker, he
works hard to support his seven
children and their mother. Like
all construction workers, he is
at the mercy of the elements.
Only food bought by the
neighborhood house kept the
family going during the severe
winter when there was no
money coming in at all for a
while.
George and Pete's father &C
cepted the food for his family
gratefully.
But he asked the boys to run
errandS for neighborhood house
workers, to do some sweeping
and tidying up around the
neighborhood house, in return
for its gift to them.
The closely knit family pools
all resources, trying to make a
go of it in their rundown, over
crowded neighborhood.
Each one does his share.
George, II, and Pete, 9, do odd
jobs and carry packages for
customers at the supermarket
over the weekend. They drop
their money into the family till,
from which all expenses are
met.

borhood meyer share a meal to-

OCEAN CITY, Md, June IL.
TO paraphrase an old say
ing:
Men who make passes and
expect to visit this resort town
this season better stick with
the girls who wear glasses"
The reason is Deloris Mcgee,
a beauteous 22-year-old who
not only is Ocean City's first
policewoman but a detective
as we'll. Her vision, she says,
is 1920 and if she puts on
glasses at all they'll be the
dark kind. Deloris, a shapely
brownette, who SHES from
letting her picture be taken
for reasons only a lady de-
tective can have, was hired
this spring by the city's new
police chief, Vernon j. Phillips,
to help handle the cases which
arise each summer from the
great influx of students.
Last year there was man.
moth riot and the old police
force found itself unprepared.
Not so this year, Chief
Phillips says.

fingerprinting equipment, pho
tographic equipment and a
new cell block for women" he
said. In addition, city officials
are considering adding a squad
of police dogs, but not until
next fall.
Deloris Is not unfamiliar
with the Eastern Shore beach
area.
A native of Ocean View, Del,
near Bethany Beach, she was
graduated from Lord Balti-
more High School there and
later worked as a secretary
for an insurance agency. Her
interest in Juvenile problems
led Chief Phillips to put her
in charge of cases involving
women and juveniles. Like all
other department personnel,
she is subject to call "a hours
a day.
Also, like the other new
policemen, she attended a four
week course this spring which
included training in ballistics,
court procedures, the funda-
mentals of police work, and
the use of police equipment.

Across the hall in another
bedroom. a co-occupant of the
apartment, Miss Constance
Walsh, 80, heard the screams.
She was running into the hall
as the prowler was coming
from the other room.
He put a hand across her
mouth and began choking her.
Miss Walsh joined her friend
in screaming, and the man re-
treated hastily through q bath
room window and down q fire

entered the apartment by the

municipalities be allowed to
borrow funds for highway con-

Commission. A loan fund for
counties already has been set
up by the State under which
the counties can borrow for
local road construction at a
lower interest rate then they

their own bond issues.
Condemnation Changes
Mr.. BealS said representa-
tives from Rockville and Col
lege Park probably will intro
duce a resolution asking for
legislation to permit munich
palities to take possession of
property involved in condem-
nation proceedings before the
court action is final. He said
this would be similar to au-
thority Montgomery County
already has.
Mr.. Beals said local street
and sewer construction often
is held up because the munich
palities have to wait many
months and often years for
condemnation proceedings fl
nally to clear the courts. The
municipality would be able to
occupy the property upon de-
posting the amount set by a
court-appointed appraiser.

Worker Hurt
By Plunge
Into Sewer

A construction worker today
was injured in a fall into a ST.
foot sewer on the Georgetown
University Hospital grounds
while trying to retrieve a
shovel. He was rescued about
80 minutes later by Fire De-
partment rescue squadmen.
The laborer, identified as
Irving Huff, about 40, of 1922
Linden street NE, had entered
the sewer about 10:30 am. A
fellow worker for the Prince
mount Construction Co. OF
Rockville, Lewis Owens, "a, of
1882 Mellon street NE, said he
warned Mr.. Huff not to go into
the shaft, part of a District
sewer project, but Mr.. Huff
went down anyway.
Mr.. Owens said Mr.. Huff
worked his way into the 21a-
foot diameter opening and
when he was about halfway
down, Mr.. Owens said he heard
a noise. He looked down and
saw Mr.. Huff lying crumpled
at the bottom.
Another workman called the
fire department and two fire
men, Pvts. Walter Fernen and
Hunter L. Vaughn, both 33,
went into the sewer with oxy-
gen masks and life lines and
put Mr.. Huff into a sling. 1t
took about 10 minutes to bring
him to the top. Both firemen
were near collapse from being
in the hot, poorly ventilated
sewer.
Dozens of doctors and medi-
cal students from Georgetown
huddled around the uncon-
scious worker as he was given
first aid before being taken to
the Georgetown Hospital,
where he was in undetermined
condition.

GU Plans
To Rebuild
LuWCenter

Georgetown University is lay
ing plans to raze its law center
at Sixth and E streets NV,
and replace it with a multi
million complex, including at
least two large buildings.
Details of the plan are still
undetermined, but the Very
Rev. Edward B. Bum, George
town president. said the new
center will include a new class
room building, an office build
ing and q dormitory to accom-
modate 800 students.
The plan was first mentioned
by the university president at
a meeting yesterday of the
Alumni Association. The asso-
citation was observing its an
nual alumni week end.
Father Bum said the project
is scheduled for completion by
1870. It's exact cost has not
been set.
In addition to a new class
room building. an office struc-
ture and a dormitory, Father
Bum said plans call for dou-
bling the library facilities now
available at the downtown CEN
ter. The new facility, he added,
will hold 100000 volumes.
The present center, eStab-
liShed many years ago. is "old
and inadequate for anticipated
enrollments in the law school,
a university official said.
1t also was explained that
the new center will be built at
the present site because. it is
more convenient for law STU
dents who frequently make use
of the city's court facilities,
which are nearby.
School officials also ex-
planned that the university's
110-acre campus in Northwest

Father Bum told the alumni
group that plans scheduled
through 1870 also call for ex-
panding facilities Of the uni
versity's Astronomical Observa-
tory, more dormitories on the

ton Of a 81 million library for

Bus Driver
Faces jury
In Shooting

A bus driver charged with
shooting q teen-ager he said
tried to rob him was ordered
held for the grand jury today.
Municipal Court Judge Ran
dolph c. Richardson set bond
at 81, 900 for James E. Weather
ington, 40, Of the 5100 block of
Vinson street, Oxon Hill, Md.
The bus driver, suspended by
D. C. Transit System, Inc, after
the incident, is charged with
assault with a dangerous
weapon, a felony.
Youth Partly ParalyEed
The youth, 16, was hit in the
upper back by a single bullet
early May 80. He Is now at
Washington Hospital Center,
where a spokesman said he is
paralyzed from the waist down.
A companion, also 16, told
Judge Richardson the wounded
boy was one of about nine
youths who boarded the bus at
Nichols avenue near Alabama
avenue Sc.
At the car barn at Eighth
and M streets Sc, the COM
panion said, he tried to get a
transfer" while the other boy
watched from the bus steps.
The bus driver told police he
fired one shot from a .25-caliber
automatic when one of the
boys made a grab for his change
carrier.
The companion testified to-
day first that the wounded
youth had not reached "for"
the change carrier. Under
cross-examination, he said the
youth had reached toward"
the change carrier.
Both Youths Charged
Police filed charges Of as
sault with intent to rob against
both youths. Deputy Chief John
E. Winters said today that both
charges still are pending.
The bus driver had shot an
other youth during a robbery
attempt on his bus in November
of 1859.
In that case, the Government
dropped a charge of carrying
a dangerous weapon. The
driver, however, was warned
against carrying a gun in the
future.
The parents Of the wounded
youth have filed a SIS million
damage suit against both the
driver and the D. C. Transit
System, charging the youth was
shot without Just cause or
provocation.

PERHAPS THE LARGEST

PERHAPS THE LARGEST
discrepancy for our bus rider
is that rearing horse of An
drew Jackson's in Lafayette
Park. The first equestrian
statue in the United States,
it was completed in 1858, only
seven years after the hero of
the War of 1912 died-in bed
at the age of 78.
Statue bluffs used to sit
around and argue whether
JackSon's horse, by Sculptor
Clark Mills, should be able to
stand like that.
Mr.. Mills claimed his sta
tues natural equipoiSe was
absolute" In other words,
"the center of gravity had
been so attained in the posi-
ton of the horse and his
rider that the group would
rest securely on the hind feet
of the rearing charge, with
out any support or fasten-
ing"
However, cautious city
fathers bolted the hind feet
to the pedestal "in order to
secure it against the possible
effects of high winds or other
disturbing or mischievouS
causes.
The final blow to our bus
riding historian and the
eavesdropping Rambler was
dealt by Cornelius Heine,
chief of the Division of Public
Uses and Interpretation OF
the National Capital Parks.
There is no basis whatso-
ever for that story" he said
in a weary voice. We've had
that inquiry many times. We
checked and found it purely
a fable. The position of those
horses has nothing to do
with the way the man died.
Whether the horse is on
three legs sor all fours or
rearing in the air is purely
the concept of the sculptor"
Evening star., 1961-06-12

THE NEXT FOUR statues
verified that perhaps with
the bus riders pomposity
goes accuracy.
There was Gen. william
Tecumseh Sherman's flat
footed horse parked in Presi-
dents Park on all fours. The
general died in 1891 at age
II. There was Philip H. Sher-
idan holding a Squashed hat
in his right hand in Sheridan
circle. Although the statue
of the horse had a spirited,
rearing-back effect, 1t was on
all fours. Sheridan died in
the calm Of twilight years.
Gen. Ulysses Grant and
Gen. George Thomas ride
horses on all fours. Gen.
Thomas looking off at a
flashing time clock at Four
teenth street and MasSachu-
sets avenue NV, died in
San Francisco in 1870 and
Gen. Grant died in 1885.
But then the theory began
to collapse, for there was
Count Casimir PulaSki'S
horse with his right front leg
lifted. The Polish Count not
only was wounded but killed
in Revolutionary battle. Next
came Gen. James Birdseye
Mcpherson. His horse also
has the right leg up and he
also died in battle, during
the 1864 siege of Atlanta.

D. c. Leaders Back
Anti-Obscenity Bill

Legislation aimed at crack
ing down on the distribution of
obscene publications was sup
ported today before a House
District subcommittee.
The bill, introduced by Rep
resentative Dowdy, Democrat
of Texas, carries q penalty of
$500 or a year in Jail for any
one who engages in the busi-
ness of editing, publishing or
distributing" lewd material.
Penalties would also apply to
those showing what a court
would consider 'lewd or lasci-
vious" motion pictures.
David c. AcheSon, United
States Attorney for the District,
and a representative of the Dis
trict Commissioners both obj
ected to some Of the language
in the bill.
Backed by Ministers
Mr.. AcheSon said a court
conceivably could consider the
play, Romeo and Juliet" as
indecent under one section of
the bill, and the Commissioners
added, in a statement, the Ian
guage defining indecency is too
vague. They suggested it be
stricken to avoid a question of
conStitutionality.
The Rev. Andrew L. Gum,
representing a group of local
ministers. spoke strongly in
favor of the bill. He said the
Nations Capital should have a
model statute against indecent
publications and criticized the
fact that teen-age tourists are
able to obtain lewd material in

Running Mate Cool
To Boothe Proposal
Stephens Asks
More Time On
Prince Edward
BY the Associated Press

State Senator Armistead
Boothe's call for reopening of
public schools for Negroes in
Prince Edward County drew
sharp return fire from his foe
in the Democratic primary yes
terday and was accorded a de-
cidedly cool reception by the
man who heads his own ticket.
With predictable hostility,
State Senator Mills E. Goodwin
of Suffolk, who opposes Mr..
Boothe for the nomination for
lieutenant governor in the July
IL primary, charged that Mr..
Boothe well knows" that
neither Prince Edward County
nor the State, under terms of
a Federal Court desegregation
order of 1859, can open or
operate a public school for
Negroes only"
Much less predictably, the
Boothe proposal of Saturday
was given an apparent cold
shoulder by 1t. Gov. A. E. S.
Stephens, who is running for
Governor on a ticket that has
Mr.. Boothe in the No. 2 spot.
Urges More Time
Il have said heretofore,
Prince Edward was given the
right to make a choice. 1t has
made the choice. Whether it
is wise or unwise is not for me
to say at the moment" Mr..
Stephens declared on a cam
paign swing through Roanoke.
And. he added:
But until such time as the
situation in Prince Edward en-
dangers our public school sys-
tenn, it would be wise to give it
more time to work out its own
solution"
Mr.. Stephens statement
seemed to raise the possibility
that Mr.. Boothe made his pro-
poSal-a major campaign pro-
nouncement on a red-hot issue
in the primary-without con-
sulting other members Of his
primary slate.
The effect of Mr.. Boothe's
proposal would be to open only
public schools for Negroes. He
said white children could con-
tinue to attend the private
school system created for them
in 1859, when the county aban-
doned public schools to escape
court-ordered desegregation.
issues statement
Mr.. Goodwin, In a Sunday
statement issued from his home,
said Mr.. Boothe knows that
ANY public school operated in
Prince Edward County must be
an integrated school,"
IF the NAACP, the Federal
Government and the Boothes
would leave Prince Edward
County alone, the people there
would be able to resolve their
problem and provide education
for all of their children" he
said.
Mr.. Godwin's reply was the
first response to Mr.. Boothe's
proposal from the Harrison
Godwin-Button ticket, which
did not actively campaign
Saturday or Sunday. Albertis
S. Harrison, jr., was expected
to make a statement today
when he addresses the Virginia
Education Association in Rich
mond. Mr.. Harrison heads the
ticket as candidate for Gov
ernor.

they could add that, polite or
no, this is one way to collect
those tidbits of incidental
information of which cock
tail conversations are made.
For example the other day
the man behind the Rambler
on a bus burst out with POM
pouS certainty to his COM
panion:
know these horse statues
around town? Want to know
how the man died? Look at
the horse! If he's on all fours
the man died of natural
causes. If one legs in the air
the man was wounded in
battle and later died. If the
horse is rearing back, the
man was killed in battle"

He said many small towns

rate the State pays on its bond
