OUR ONLY PURPOSE in
seeking this interview with
Speaker Rayburn was to ask
him about his ideas for i'm

around the Capitol.
But we opened the CONVEX
sation by telling him we
thought, as a young reporter,
we had played a part in the
passage of the Wheeler
Rayburn bill.
We had discovered thou

were being sent to members
of Congress opposing the
bill, we told him, and had
written a story for the Phil
adelphia Record exposing the
campaign. Senator Black
had then asked US to testify
before his anti lobbying
committee. And banner
headlines appeared across
the country about the fake
telegram lobby.
Mr.. Rayburn remembered
1t all vividly. And when we
were able to turn the con-
versation back to the pres
ent, he confessed he had one
big goal before his long
service in Congress ended.
We've got most Of the
land we need around the
Capitol" he said. 'Now we've
got to make 1t look right.
My greatest purpose is to
make 1t look its best"
Those were his words, and
we reported them in this
column on February 26, 1861.

Muy Bring Study
OF Similar Houses

An investigation into the fire
that took the lives Of six Alex
andria children Friday is ex-
pected to be concluded tomor-
row, and inspections Of similar
multi-family houses may be un-
dertaken.
Capt. John L. Mellon Of the
Alexandria Fire Prevention Bu-
reau, who is heading the inves-
tigation, said he will attempt
to establish the origin Of the
fire positively and determine
whether any negligence con-
tributed to the tragedy.
Preliminary reports indicate
that youngsters playing with
matches set fire to a mattress
in a first-floor bedroom of the
house at 1915 Duke street. At
least IL other persons were IN
jured, none seriously, includ-
ing several who jumped from
a second-floor window.
Vice Mayor Eugene w. Zim-
norman, meanwhile, has called
for a general investigation of
similar multi-family dwellings
in the city.
"Once a building like that
exists. however. it's pretty hard
to do something about It," he
said. Many homes which have
been converted into apartments
predate the building code, he
said.
Would Have Inspected
Capt. Mellon said his bureau
would have inspected the build
ing If it had been known that
it was being used as an apart
ment house.
Both Capt. Mellon and police
officials said the house sppar-
emily was in good condition,
however, before the blaze.
The builders co-owner, Al
bert e. Baker, vice-president
Of AL Baker and Son, Inc,
Alexandria real estate firm,
said he and his wife Mildred,
have owned the house for 10
years. It has been an apart
ment building for 20 years. he
said.
He spent $1,000 or $4,000 re-
furnishing the building four
or five years ago and it was in
excellent condition, he said. He
estimated the property loss at
$4,000 to $4,000.
r Had 4 Apartments
The building consisted UoS
four apartments. two on the
second floor, one on the first
and one in o raised basement,
Mr.. Baker said.
Only two adults should have
been residing in each apart
ment. but a good deal Of SUBJ
letting is not uncommon, he
said.
A. Melvin Miller. president
of the Durant Civic Associa-
ton, the city's leading Negro
organization, said the fire
proved the need for better
housing for Negroes in Alex

Congressional intent to per-
NIT bus service over the George
Washington Memorial Parkway
is being violated by the Ma
tional Park Service, Represent
ative Broyhill said yesterday.
The Park Service is involved
in a complicated legal and jlr-
isdictional wrangle with two
Government agencies and three
area bus firms over its restric-
tions on the operation Of buses
over the George Washington
Memorial Parkway between
Memorial Bridge and the Capt.
tai Beltway.
In a letter to Interior Secre-
tary Udall, Mr.. Broyhill. Re-
publican Of Virginia, said:
This action on the part Of
the National Park Service is
uncalled for, a misuse of Its au-
thority and q total disregard
for the rights due to taxpayers
in this immediate area who are
dependent on this bus serv-
ice. =.
II am sure that you will
cause the abuses to be
corrected"
Urges Inquiry
Arnold Lines OF Northern
Virginia should be permitted to
use the Parkway between Me-
mortal Bridge and the Central
Intelligence Agency for its
commuter service TO Mclean
and Langley and for future
service TO Dulles International
Airport, Mr.. Broyhill said.
Two other disputes concern
ing use OF the Parkway be-
tween the CIA and the Capital
Beltway and the prices to be
charged the two bus firms
should "be set down for further

The action came as the two

For routes that concern the

that alternate routes take IL

AS IT TURNED OUT, we
did have something to say
at the outset that went way
back into Mr.. Sans mem
ory.
It involved a bitter battle
over a famous piece of legis-
lation called the Wheeler
Rayburn holding company
bill.
Because Of that bill, the
flavor of Mr.. Rayburn's
name and personality al
ways had a special magic for
us.
OF that famous measure,
Karl Schriftgiesser wrote In
his book, "The Lobbies"::
Although >. practically
every measure sponsored by
the (Roosevelt) administra-
ton met with the opposition
Of from one to a hundred
lobbies, none created the ex-
citement or filled the Amer
ican press with so many hys-
terical words as did the his
toric battle for the passage
of the Holding Company
Act.
$50 unrestrained was the
fight on both sides that
those who lived through 1t
still have the uneasy feeling
that blood flowed through
the streets Of Washington in
those days"

JUST A YEAR and a week

heard the sad news Of the
death Of Speaker Rayburn
after he had served 48 years
In Congress.
The two : block, five acre
area he had cleared adjacent
to the Capitol is now stand
ing idle.

site for a James Madison
Memorial died In the House
Public Works Committee at
the last session Of Congress.

It be used as the site Of q
needed annex for the Library
Of Congress, that the build
ing be named the James
Madison Memorial Annex,
and that II contain first
floor space for restaurants
and shops as q focus for
people.
whatever decision is made,
there is no doubt that
Speaker Rayburn's goal
should be kept in mind.
Above all, he wanted to

would pay honor to his mem
ory. And-if we understood
what he had in mind on

what he would have tried TO

Texas Observer Reports On
NAACP VS.. COMMUNISTS

or an incendiary fanatic. This is
the reason communism is a gen.
uine threat to Latin American and
other countries with large classes
of underprivileged people. The
HAYES have too brutally thwarted
the desire for land and economic
reform of the have nots. This is
the reason President Kennedy has
realistically set conditions of self
reform on his Alliance for Prog
ress.
The enduring value of our de-
mecracy is that it even permits
radical changes, if necessary, in an
orderly and sober manner. If
heartfelt dreams are realized too
slowly, more direct and bold ac-
tons are taken. The "sit-in" and
other protest movements among
colored and white young people
have grown out of some impa-
tience, so a recent Time article
says, with the slow, legalistic ap-
proach of the NAACP." The most
orderly and conservative manner
of social change is the use of legal
process. This is particularly the
the case when change takes place
in court rather than by statute.
Indeed, legislatures can enact the
most radical changes; but OF ne
cessity courts operate case by case
in rather sporadic fashion, not
straying too far at any given time
from well established precedents
or customs.
In the area of race relations and
minority problems, one may legi-
timately complain that the judi
cial process is correcting injustices
too slowly; but certainly it is dill
ficult to perceive how it could
move too fast there. The NAACP
in the main has chosen the courts
as the major vehicle for deliver
ing the Negro from his deplorable
condition of second-class citizen
ship. Law is one of the most con-
sentative of institutions, and par
ticularly the courts that interpret
