One thought tiding over
thousands OF mailmen across
the land is that Christmas
comes but once a year,
wading through tons Of en-
velopes. even the properly
addressed ones, contributes 10
a dampening OF the Christmas
spirit. Then there are the en-
velopes with nothing on them
but big. wobbly blue crayon
lines.
The mailman signs and au-
tomatically puts them in the

some OF which have even
reached President Kennedy.
One boy wrote his list, ad-

New Rocket Unit
Moves MEETING
Awuy From D. c.

The Nations merging rocket
societies have decided not to
have their first combined meet
ing in Washington after all.
DR.. William H. Pickering, who
will become president Of the
American Institute Of Aeronau-
tics and AStronautics when 1t
comes into existence February
/. said today the initial AIAA
meeting will be held in New
York instead of Washington
next November. Unsatisfactory
meeting-room conditions in the
National Capital were cited as
the reason for the change.
It had been planned to hold
scientific technical sessions and
a space exhibition in the Ma
tional Guard Armory on East
Capitol street. But a similar
setup at the American Rocket
Society meeting in Los Angeles
last month proved unavoidable,
DR.. Pickering explained.
A new hotel in New York will
be open in time for the AIAA
meeting. DR.. Pickering said. The
hotel will have meeting rooms
and exhibition space adequate
for the convention, and physi-
cally far enough apart so that
noise from the exhibit area does
not interfere with presentation
of scientific papers.

Cold Preventing
Last Minute
Concrete Work

The Cabin John Bridge will
not be opened to traffic until
after New Years Day because
of delays caused by cold
weather.
w. l.. Shook, divisional engi-
neer for the Maryland State
Roads Commission, said the
cold was preventing pouring Of
concrete in connection with
last-minute work on the bridge.
He estimated that about 10
working days Of good weather
would be needed to finish the
bridge.
Virginia and Maryland high
way officials want to open the
Capital beltway between River
road in Montgomery County
and Route 7 in Fairfax County
when the bridge is opened. The
beltway portions are finished
but without the bridge are use
less, officials said.
Wind Is Blamed
THAT wind whistling down
the river makes 1t too cold for
the workmen," Mr.. Shook said.
The bridge had been sched-
uled for opening two weeks
ago. But officials said wet
weather would delay it, that it
should be ready in time for
Christmas Then the below
freezing weather set in
Then workmen are expected
to take four-day week ends for
Christmas and New Year, ex-
tending completion into jan
uary.
More Work Needed
! Mr.. Shook said several minor
parts of the bridge needed
finishing before it is safe for
traffic.
A layer of asphalt must be
applied to the northbound and
southbound parts of the con-
crete bridge lanes.
Concrete walks have to be
laid, and forms for the concrete
on the underside of the founda-
lions must be removed. Some
paving is necessary on the
Maryland side, Mr.. Shook said.

The controversial Wisconsin

were listed today as critical
needs" for construction in the
next four years by the Mary

On a map prepared for the

Wisconsin avenue corridor fol-
lowed the same route as pro-
posed recently by the Mary

running parallel to the present

The northern corridor, long
urged by planners to relieve

would run parallel to that high
way and to the east.
The map of critical needs was

roads officials, county delegates
to the General Assembly, and
other Montgomery officials. 1t

Negro Status
Called No. |
DC. Problem

The most serious problem in
the Nations Capital is treat
ment of the Negro, a Health and
Welfare Council luncheon was
told today.
Washington is the only i'm
portant city in which the Negro
population is a majority" Mrs.
Agnes E. Meyer declared. yet
there has been insufficient rec
ignition of this in our social
endeavors.
The American Negro lives, "in
concentration camps which shut
him off from the white mans
world" Mrs. Meyer, an author
and lecturer, said.
Washington is no exception.
To be sure, the barbed wire en-
circlement is invisible. but it is
there. The refined tortures to
which our Negro fellow citizens
are subjected are unknown to
most white people who are too
remote from the realities of life
even to try to understand what
1t means to any human being
to be rejected by the society
of which he is a part"
In remarks prepared for de-
livery at the luncheon at the
Shoreham Hotel. Mrs. Meyer
said that Negro leadership
should assert itself by explain
ing to the poor and semi-liter-
ate folk-Negro" how hard
White organizations have
worked and are working for
the human rights OF the race,
however inadequate the re-
suits"
She urged the private well

tary agencies. TO take the

ter welfare programs and bet
ter schools before the District
Committees Of Congress and,

IN THE CASE of an after
noon storm, Mr.. Xanten rec
ommends that everybody
ought to get home before
it really hits. If you can't,
stay downtown and wait for
several hours.
The Rambler had wanted
to blame the jam on all the
women who were out Christ
mas shopping and got caught
in the ice-the frantic wheel
spinners.
But 1t may be the charac-
ter OF the area more than
anything else-the failure of
too many jurisdictions to
come out all together and
fight the snow or ice.
The main arteries leading
out Of the city, for example,
are mostly State roads. The

ance responsibilities for these

REHOBOTH BEACH. Del.
Dec. II (AP).-Fire destroyed
three buildings occupied by a
l60o-seat theater, a restaurant
and two stores yesterday in the
center of this seaside resort.
Firemen said there were no
injuries. The Avenue Theater.
used only during the summer

An adjacent liquor store was
extensively damaged. firemen
said.
Alvin Simpler, owner of the
Avenue Restaurant and two
apartments above, said the fire
apparently started in the res
taurant's kitchen and spread
through air ducts to the rest
of the building.
He estimated the damage
there at 100000 or more.
Rehoboth Mayor Juel c.
Stamper said a conservative
estimate of the total damages
would be at least $3.50, 900.
Only the walls of the build
ings were left standing.
More than 100 firemen from
three communities fought the
blaze four hours before bring
ing 1t under control.
Firemen said several ada
cent buildings, including stores
and several homes, were threat

Investigdtive
Arrests Hit
By Rights Unit
Tobriner Raped
For Permitting
Continued Use

The National Capital Area
Civil Liberties Union is ready
to initiate a court test Of po-
lice arrests for investigation,
David Gardner, the organiza-
tons chairman, said yester-
day.
Mr.. Gardner expressed total
disagreement with the District
Commissioners decision to al
low police to continue arrest
ing persons for questioning.
Commissioner Walter Tobri-
ner said in a radio interview
Saturday that the investigative
arrests would be allowed to
continue until IAN acceptable
constitutional substitute" is
found.
UncOnstitutiOnality Cited
Admitting that the arrests
for investigation are unconsti-
tutional, Commissioner Tobri-
ner said on WWDC's Report
to the People" program that
consideration must be given to
the police departments con-
tention that it would be ham
pered by a prohibition on such
arrests. He said he hoped the
commissioners will have an
appropriate proposal prepared
by the time Congress conveneS
in January.
II find it incredible that Mr..
Tobriner. who was sworn to
uphold the Constitution, should
say in one breath that inves-
tigative arrests are a violation
of the Constitution and should
in the next breath say that
the police may continue to
make such arrests" Mr.. Car
liner said.
The Gu believes this prac-
tice of investigative arrests is
so fundamentally wrong that
| it will test in court the au-
thority of the police to arrest
persons solely for the purpose
of questioning them" he said.
Group Advises Halt
Mr.. Gardner said the Gu
is prepared to support any ac-
tons for habeas corpus by per-
sons who have been arrested
or any other actions against
police officials for unlawful ar
rests"
Last summer a committee of
lawyers headed by Charles A.
Horsky. now Presidential Ad-
wiser on National Capital At
fairs, recommended that the
arrests for investigation be dis
continued.
The committee. appointed by
the Commissioners, concluded
that the police practice of ar
resting suspects for questioning
and without formal charges
was illegal.

The
Rambler
Suggests
A Snow Czur
BY JOHN McKELWAY

Since last Tuesday and
that memorable traffic jam,
there has been a splotchy,
crusty, white substance on
most District streets.
The Rambler assumed Bill
xanten was probably respon-
sible and dropped down to
see him in the District Build
ing. Mr.. Xanten is techni-
cally the city's "Superinten-
dent, Sanitation and Equip
ment Division" He is also the
snow man, charged with its
removal.
Since the early 4Os, Mr..
Xanten, a heavy-Set, often
blunt German, has been
fighting the great salt battle.
He has always maintained
salt is the best thing to use
against snow.
His opponents have been
numerous and powerful.
Automobile societies have
claimed salt spread on the
streets eats out the bottom
of the car.
Highway and Park officials
have claimed salt cracks
highways and damages land
scaping.
And, until this year, the
transit company would not
let Mr.. Xanten's salt crews
get within four blocks of
any streetcar line.
But each year, Mr.. Kan
ten got a little more salt
down.
In the icy conditions of
last Tuesday, 1000 tons were
spread at a cost of about
$4,000.
Mr.. Xanten is salts great
est advocate.
