said.
Mr.. Nixon, who called Gov.
Brown IAN amiable, bumbling
man." in announcing his own
candidacy for the job, has been
rather quiet since.
The Governor has discovered
in the meantime, what he con-
siders another chink in the
Nixon armor-his peaceful CO.
existence with the flourishing
John Birch Society of Califor-
mia, which has two of it's mem
bers in Congress.
The Governor chided Mr..
Nixon for failing to disavow
the rabid right.
He has stepped away from
those who are fighting the po-
litical primitives, and he ap-
parently wants their money
and support (He) appears
on the same platform with
Birch candidates and assures
them there is room in the Re-
publican Party for people who
differ He goes even farther.
He promises to support them if
they win in the primaries"
Admits a Weakness
Gov. Brown also is struggling
to turn what has been a weak
ness into a strength. Often &C
cused of vacillating, he admit
ted he probably lost prestige
with his handling of the Chess
man case.

enhance my reputation as a

nor, facing the facts with a
candor not common in public
men. II tried to show compass
sion, and those who have COM
passion are not in the major

Gov. Brown called at the
White House last night but
came and went quietly without
talking to reporters. AS nearly
as neWsmen could determine,
the Governor spent about half
an hour with President Ken
nedy in the residential portion
of the mansion.

This emphasis is attuned to
the harsh demands of our

it is more closely related to the

The Commissioner asked Con-
gress to support this new tour
ism drive. On the basis of past
tourist spending in proportion
to promotional spending, the
city can expect as much as $11
million in tax dollars from
tourist trade next year.
If this money comes in, it
could be a considerable factor
as much as 81 million more
than last years tourist tax take
in pulling the city budget out
of anticipated debt.
Competitors Spend
The combined private and
public fund will be channeled
primarily into literature aimed
at the foreign as we'll as native
American traveller and at Or
ganizations planning conven-
tionS.
Miami spends 100000, and
Atlantic City, 100000 annually
to lure tourist trade.
Here, visitors have increased
whenever promotional spend
ing has gone up. In 1851, for
example, spending of $115,000
brought 3 million visitors and
in 1860, some $3.50, 900 in pro-
motion attracted 7 million.

YOUTH APPEAL
Hill Faces
Fund Lobby
OfStudents
By DAVID BREASTED
Star Staff Writer

There'll be some ears bent on
Capitol Hill for District school
money when the 87th Congress-
youngest lobbyists get to work.
The youths, a group of stu
dents from Woodrow Wilson
and Western High Schools, in
tend to wage a do-it-yourself
campaign to help shake loose
badly needed school funds in
the revenue bill tied up in
Congress.
The volunteers were to sign
up with the clerk of the House
this afternoon. Actually, they
don't have to register, because
they are not paid, but they are
doing it to get the campaign
off on the right foot.
I'm sure that they'd be the
youngest lobbyists to register,
certainly in the last three
years." said j. B. Swanner, of
the office of the file clerk.
This is the plan: I'VE hope
to get a group of about five or
six and talk to so or so Con-
gressmen-tell them to be there
to vote" explains Stephen A.
Block, II, a Woodrow Wilson
senior. The group also plans to
send a representative before the
District subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee later in the session.
Were going to center around
better facilities, such as more
classroomS. We also want better
textbooks. Some history books
don't go beyond the First World
War, and some science books
are 25 years DID," said Stephen.
He reported that more than a
dozen students so far are pre-
pairing to lobby, but have not
yet designated chairmen. An
organization meeting is planned
for Sunday.
Among others working so far
are Wilson Seniors Army Gil
bert, Susan Kerr (who spread
the idea around), Judy Edels-
berg and Richard H. Blacklow.
Three others at Western are
Glegg Watson, Christina Smith
and Larry Chernikoff.
The scheme was suggested,
the students said, by Thomas
Locker, a graduate student at
American University. They took
it from there.
Any interested students are
invited to a meeting a 2 pm.
Sunday in the community audi
torium of the Washington Post.

Mrs. Portner's
Lawyer Silent
On Her Injury

Mrs. Silvia Gould Portner,
charged with shooting her hus-
band, was in satisfactory
condition at Washington Hos
pital Center today where she
repeatedly is under treatment
for a head injury.
According to her attorney
F. Trowbridge vom Baur, Mrs,
Portner entered the hospital
Tuesday evening.
Mr.. vom Baur said Mrs. Port
ner spent most of the day in
the doctors office after ap-
pearing in court where she was
released in $4,000 bond on an
assault charge. Later it was de-
cided she should be in the hos
pital.
She is accused of shooting
her husband, Robert j. Port
ner, At. during a quarrel early
Tuesday at their home, 1905
California street NV. Mr.
Portner is recovering from ar
abdominal wound in another
room of the hospital.
Mr.. vom Baur said he pre-
ferred not to discuss the nature
of Mrs. Portner's injury. She
told police Mr.. Portner struck
her and kicked her out of bee
before he was shot.

Dulles Terminal Full,
May Force Expansion

when actual occupancy at the
rates decided on next month
develops, the airlines might
settle for less space. This could
produce a contraction and open
up additional floor space for
late-comerS.
AirIines "Co-Operative"
Mr.. Hobbs said he was very
pleased with the cooperative
attitude of the airlines" during
the two-day meeting.
He said there were no dis
cussions on hangar possibilities;
nor even mention of Friendship
Airport at Baltimore, which now
handles Washington's jet traf-
| fic. Northwest Orient Airlines
has filed application with the
Civil Aeronauties Board to dis
continue service at Friendship
when Dulles opens.
Other airlineS serving the
Washington area through
Friendship have not indicated
whether they will service both
the Baltimore facility and the
new Washington base.
The oral agreement on space
use in the terminal came within
a tWo-Week deadline set by
N. E. Halaby, FAA adminiStra-
tor. Ten days ago, Mr.. Halaby
told the airlines that if COM
mitments were not made within
two weeks the FAA would pro-
ceed with space ALLEGATION or

When the gavel fell at
noon, Senator Cotton rose
and with deep feeling made
the official announcement of
the death of Senator Bridges.
Then he left the chamber
and re-entered through the
door to the center aisle with
the new Senator on his arm.

of Engineers for development of
the river.
In a speech to the Potomac
Chapter Of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, JUS
tice Douglas said the co-ops
advocate construction of a ma
jor dam at River Bend because
they want cheap hydro-electric
power for transmission to the
Eastern Shore of Maryland.
IF the powerful lobby of
the rural co-ops obtains the
River Bend dam, it should in
herit the wrath of our people.
For this River Bend dam will
inundate some of our loveliest
valley and river bottom lands
in the area and substitute for
their beauty the sinking banks
Of a muddy reservoir.
"All this for the greedy ends
of lobbyists who pretend to
march under the banner of
conservation and recreation.

Basin Co-ordinator for the Ma
tional Rural Electric Co-opera-
tive Association, replied that
Justice Douglas has announced
a decision on the proposed River
Bend dam without considering
either the evidence of the facts
whether a River Bend re-
servoir is created or not will be
decided by the need for water.
not by name-calling. All COM
petent authorities who have
studied the problem have con-
cluded that the most efficient
economical way to meet the
water needs of the area is
through the construction Of a
River Bend dam"

Opening Day

The opening of a second

shoes highly shined.
His sartorial correctness
would have suggested that
he was about to receive a de-
gree, but the new Senator,
despite his trim figure, has
lost that schoolboy look. His
