The
Rambler
Tulks to
The Fossils
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The other day a gentleman
with a sweet voice that some
times comes with age called
to ask If the Rambler would
address the Fossils at a
luncheon meeting at the
Chevy Chase Methodist
Church.
This gave no pause. The
Fossils are becoming we'll
known. They are members
Of an organization devoted
to gerontics (the science of
growing old. The members
are men who are retired. Most
of them are former Govern
ment employees, many are
scientists.
Members must have a
hobby. The hobby determines
their committee assignment.
The committees vary from
atomic energy to African
violetS.
So the Rambler found him
self rising somewhat unpre-
pared before an audience of
100 members and 80 wives
wondering what to say.
The Fossils are not espe-
cially old looking. Bald heads
rather than white hair pre-
dominate. Hearing aids are
somewhat in evidence.
That's good" thought the
Rambler, "I'll pitch it at my
natural volume and let them
adjust things to suit them
selves"
Then an idea did come to
him. He leaned over and
asked a question Of the Rev.
DR.. Richmond, pastor of the
church, who was seated at
his right.

Senator Robert Byrd, Demo-
crat of West Virginia, released
these findings today, upon re-
ceipt of a report from Gerard
Shea, District welfare director.
Senator Byrd assigned Federal
investigators on March Z. They
have been working with District
officials for Senator Byrd and
Representative hatcher, Demo-
crat of Kentucky, chairmen of
the congressional subcommit-
tees that draft the District
budget.
Percentages on the total 280
aid-to-dependent-children cases
will not be available for at least
two weeks.
229 Gases PrOcesSed
District welfare officials have
processed only 229 Of the $50
to see if the cases should be
continued or closed.
OF the 229 cases reviewed,
AZ were closed before investi-
gators got to them. These
were mothers who Withdrew
from the rolls or who were
found able to support them
selves since investigators began
work.
So the remaining 1877 cases
required action Of welfare Off
cials. They have stopped pay
ments of 109, or So per cent,
of these parents and continued
rs, or AZ per cent, of them on
the rolls.
Donald Brewer, acting well
fare director, said that in no
case had the Welfare Depart
ment disagreed with a recon-
mendation Of Investigators
either to close or to continue
a case. Had case workers and
administrators differed with
an investigators report. con-
flicting recommendations would
have been judged by a special
committee. 1t includes a Dis
trict attorney, an auditor. q

he restrained the driver and
denied striking him or taking
any money.
Colclough, who testified that
he was at the rear of the bus
when the commotion began,
said he saw the driver with a
chain and ran UP to the front
to assist Richmond because he
thought the driver twas
wrong" He also denied strik-
ing the driver and said he took
no money.
The third defendant, Block
er, said he was in the rear of
the bus when he noticed the
struggle. He said he ran to
the front, pushed his way
through the passengers and left
the bus.
Judge Andrew j. Howard, jr.

THE QUESTION was,

THE QUESTION was,
would you mind If I sold
boards in your church?"
Mr.. Richmond after shoot
ing a quick glance the way
one does when encountering
a very unusual person, said:
go ahead. It's all right
with me. I have to go to
another meeting"
At any rate the Rambler
got a laugh. It was unfair.
He discovered a gentleman
with a luxurious Van Dyke
sitting in the eighth row. He
asked the other beard to
stand.
Although obviously embar-
rassed, the gentleman did.
Then the Rambler did worse.
He barged right in with a

nique.
How long had he had the
beard?
About two months, the
gentleman said.
Did his wife approve Of it?

bered?

tleman said and sat down.

quently asked.
It is: Does Mrs. r, go along
with the beard?
If she didn't 1t wouldn't
last a week.
I pointed out that q beard
gives you five minutes more
each day, an important five
minutes you can spend them
in bed in the morning.
Otherwise you would be
shaving. I also pointed out
that those who grow boards
achieve recognition by per-
sons they have never met be-
fore. There was another
point I had about selling
boards, but I forget what it
was.
The Rambler's subject was
my Career in Public Speak
ing"
It's been a very brief one.
Perhaps It's over.
This career Is an appren-
ticeship. The Rambler never
joined a debating society, nor
took elocution, nor the dra-
matte arts.

Joint Session
On River SET
Fuirfox to Meet
Arlington, UduII
BY JOHN LAWSON
Star Staff Writer

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors has agreed to meet
with the Arlington County
Board and Interior Secretary
Udall on preservation Of the
Potomac River front area.
The board acted yesterday
after one supervisor suggested
he would not want to confine
the discussion only to the area
near the controversial Merry
wood apartment rezoning tract
in Mclean.
The Maryland river front
north of Washington should
be included, said Supervisor
John Parrish, as well as both
sides of the river shore south
i of the District.
The Arlington board sug-
gested the meeting two weeks
ago so that assurance could be
devised that apartments would
not line the Potomac palisades
in Virginia.
Result Of Merryw0Od Plan
Their action followed the
rezoning by Fairfax super
visors Of the 46-acre Merry
wood Estate in Mclean for a
multimillion dollar high-rise
apartment project.
Mr.. Parrish said it was
equally important to preserve
the shore of the Potomac across
from Mount Vernon. There's
no national shrine across from
the palisades in Mclean" he
said. a
He noted that Secretary
Udall had expressed concern
over the Merrywood rezoning.
l'He lives in the area, Of
course" Mr.. Parrish said. but
| all the New Frontier doesn't
live there"
Board Chairman william H.
Moss suggested that the board
adopt q motion that the river
shore be preserved in as near
a natural state as possible, but
the board did not act on it.
Vice Chairman Mrs. Anne
Wilkins said she thought the
motion was not strong enough,
and supervisors Parrish and
Robert c. Gotten urged post
lponement since only four of
the seven supervisors were
present. =.
Approved Rezoning
In other action, the Board
approved rezoning of a 40-acre
tract for apartments although
the land lies in the path OF
a proposed freeway.
Supervisors decided to ap-
prove the coming after planners
said they couldn't be positivs
that the freeway would go
where it is planned.
The Board also rejected ar
application for rezoning of 81
acres for apartments neal

Also listed were the failure to
utilize existing classroom space,
site selection for new schools, and

''the neighborhood has been mis-
used to contain Negro students
