Navy to ScuttIe
Radioactive Ship

NORFOLK, Va, July 4 (AP)
The Navy will sink the radio
active destroyer Fullam Satur-
day $50 miles southeast Of Cape
Henry.
The Fullam, used in 1858
nuclear tests in the Pacific, is
radioactive to the extent that
scrubbing it clean would cost
more than it's worth, a Navy
spokesman said. Though the
ship is not considered danger
Gus, Federal regulations pro-
hibit its sale or use in the
present condition.
The Fullam will be destroyed
by I'd Fleet ships firing shells
and torpedoes and airplanes
using air-to-surface Bullpup
missiles.
The Fullam, a Fletcher class
destroyer, was built in Boston
in 1910.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Rose and Mark Need
ALittIe Brightness

Rose and Marks family were
evicted because the man to
whom they paid their rent
didn't give it to the landlord.
The family sublet an apart
ment. But instead of paying
the owner his share, the man
skipped town with their 5000.
Those days were a bad
dream. Both the water and
light were turned off the day
before the family moved. Once
out on the pavement, they had
to leave their furniture over
night. It was ruined by a
storm.
Now they are staying tenn
porarily with friend, who, al
though she has youngsters of
her own, took the parents and
seven children in.
Both parents are sick. The
mother has been sick for some
time. The father once made
good money in construction
work, but his health has failed,
too. Relief and surplus food
keep the family going.
Rose, IL, and Mark, 9, help
care for the younger children,
seeing that they're dress ed i,
keeping an eye on them when
they play outside.
Camp could be one bright
spot for this boy and girl in q
future that may be as troubled
as the past. Your gift can send
them there.

Fireworks
To Include
New Displays

Are you going tonight to see
President Kennedy fade out
and the Washington Monument
burn up?
Both Of these will be featured
displays - in fireworks, 81
course-at tonight's Fourth o.
July exhibition at els on Tho
W. shington Monument
grounds.
Housewives. you may do q
slow burn when the dinner
you've worked on for half a day
gets gobbled up in half an hour.
But how would you like to
spend four hours making up
q display, such as President
Kennedy. that burns in one
minute?
That's the job of Eugene Dr.
santi, who's in charge of to-
nights fireworks show.
Wishing Out Loud
I'VE set off displays for
four months out Of the year,
and the rest Of the time we
make displays" said Mr.. Di-
santi, a bespectacled man of
medium height. AS he stood
inside the 40-foot tent housing
his fireworks yesterday, he was
wishing out loud that it
wouldn't rain today.
The Fourth Of July and Chi
nese New Year aren't the only
times for fireworks, it seems.
Mr.. Disanti said he sets off the
pyrotechnics for volunteer fire
departments. social clubs and
curcuses, mostly during the
summer months.
Another stationary design
which takes several hours to
make and burns up quickly is
the Buy U. s. Savings Bonds. 4"
The stationary designs are
made on wooden frames by Mr.
DiSanti and his company, Fam
belli Bros. Of Newcastle, Pa.
Aerial Display
Tonight's show Is mostly
aerial display.
I'VE got a new fireworks
technician from Italy" said Mr..
Disanti. Hes made som e
beautiful bombs"
And you'll be seeing bombs,
not frecrackers, tonight. Mr..
Disanti pointed at a row of
pipes outside the tent.
I'VE have to bury the bombs
in that pipe" he said. IF you
tried to shoot the bombs with
out the pipe, you'd kill your
self"
Sometimes, Mr.. Disanti said,
the bombs explode inside the
pipe. You can see that these
displays aren't for fooline
around.

EVERYONE FROM EVERY

EVERYONE FROM EVERY
club, lodge and society
seemed represented and var
ious guilds, showing crafts
men at work, were also in
the parade. A press was
manned by pressmen who
made copies of the Declara-
ton which were tossed to the
crowd as they passed by.
Then came a blackSmith'S
shop on wheels, complete
with forge and anvil, "at
which several hands were
busily occupied" The society
of Cordwainers (shoemak-
ers), Masons and Stone Cut
tiers and the Hatters also
got into the act.
And leading all this in a
chariot was President Mon
roe attended by George
Hay, Esq" and Mr.. Adams
and Mr.. Calhoun.
On that day, Mr.. Monroe
was in his Goth year. The
following year he would end
his term as fifth president
in the "era of good feeling"
when we were concerned
with such things as getting
Louisiana from the French
and Florida from Spain.
After the parade it was said
he received friends with
"that urbanity and cordial
ity for which he is diStin-
guiShed."
There is an interesting
but sad parallel that in those
days Mr.. Monroe had his own
cold war with Russia. In
July 1923 the United States
served notice on Alaska
owning Russia that it would
oppose any Russian colony
on this continent after Rus
STA had prohibited fishing on
the northwest coasts.

Mr.. Landes commented that
use of the car is a trouble spot

youngsters.
They can't seem to stand
being denied the auto" he said.
That will make them meaner

let the boys have the car, or
they have an attitude to fight.

Gains in Senate
By the Associated Press

The Senate Labor Commit
tee yesterday approved legisla-
ton to extend the eight-hour

That act requires payment of

The House already has

He had written to Senator
Byrd, Democrat of Virginia, to

Blast Bill on
Mass Transit
House Members
Score Nonsense
Floor Fight Seen
By JOHN McKELWAY
Star Staff Writer

In q bitterly worded minority
report. four House Republicans
have blasted the mass trans
portation bill reported by a
majority Of the House Banking
and Currency Committee.
The minority report bluntly
calls the bill nonsense"
The bill would authorize ap-
preparations Of $500 million
which would become available
over a three-year period. It
would finance up to two-thirds
Of that portion Of the cost of
new transit facilities that could
not be underwritten by revenue
from fares or bonds backed by
such revenue.
AS of now, the Senate bill is
still pending before the Senate
Banking and Currency Com
mittee although it was ap-
proved last week by the count
erpart in the House.
The minority report on the
bill, signed in the House by four
Republicans said that there is
a serious question as to the
claim that subsidization of mass
transit facilities is a Federal
responsibility.
The minority pointed out, as
an example, that D. c. Transit,
Inc, has increased its earnings
steadily and said that when a
mass transit system gives the
people what they want, private
enterprise can operate and i'm
prove its system completely out
Of the farebox and in addition
make a modest profit"
Floor Fight Indicated
The minority report on the
bill was signed by Republican
Representatives Kilburn of New
York. Derwinski of Illinois,
Harvey Of Michigan and Rous-
selot Of California.
Their stand indicated a stug-
gle on the floor over the bill il
it is approved by the House
Rules Committee.
The minority members Of the
committee questioned whether
there was actually any awful
transit problems" and added
that lone would be hard put to
make much Of a case for exist
ence Of acute problems in even
q couple dozen of the largest
metropolitan areas"
i They said they did not con.
slider the transit situation jr
Washington as being ANY
where close to so acute as to
require Federal subsidy assist
ance, and certainly that would
be true as for a metropolitan
area with only half the popula-
ton Of the District"
16 to 7 Approval
But Representative Mullter,
Democrat Of New York and
chairman Of the subcommittee
which handled the bill, said in
a statement that there was
strong public demand for this
legislation" as shown by the
vote in the full Banking and
Currency Committee which ap-
proved the bill by a vote Of
16-to-7.
The total cost Of the legisla-
ton would be $500 million
which, if appropriated, would
mean 500 million in the next
fiscal year, 5000 million in fis-
cal 1864 and 5000 million In
fiscal 1865. ...
The majority report on the
bill said that transportation in
and around urban centers has
become more serious in recent
years.
The report said that while
private automobiles will con-
tinue to carry a big portion of
the burden of transportation
that at the same time there is
a growing agreement that mass
transit performs an essential
service, one that has been
largely neglected under our
present government programs"
