These are dusty-topped
members of the Ambrosia
family. A good name, say the
experts, because in the al
leroy business one mans meat
is another mans poison.
Why? Medical science
doesn't have a good answer
yet. But it has been found that
allergies are closely connected
to the body's defense systems
A sneeze. for example, is an
attempt to expell an irritant,
If this doesn't work, other de-
tense begin.
Tissues swell to produce
mucuS to wash out the irritant
But the reason that pollen
will set off one PERSONS de-
lenses and not another's is
still unclear. but is probably
connected to differences in
body chemistry.
DR.. Richard A. Kern of
Philadelphia, a specialist in al
lergies, says about 40 to As
per cent of Americans are
thought to be allergic to some
degree to one or more irritants.
Asthma is the big danger of
untreated hay fever. The most
serious of the common allergic
diseases, asthma is estimated
to cause 10000 deaths annually
And multiple allergieS are
real misery makers. Believe
me-" said one such sufferer
its not very funny when you're
even allergic to the tissue you
use to blow your nose"

repeatedly had several offers to
advertise liquor.
The board refused on grounds
that such advertising does not

which manages the new $50

DRAGSTERS CHALK
OFF REAL COURSE
ON DULLES ROAD

Hot-rodders with the
nerve of burglars turned
the Dulles Airport access
highway into a drag-race
strip. complete with start
ing lie and quarter-mile
markers, airport police re-
ported yesterday.
Two dozen carloads of
teen-agers were arrested
Saturday night when police
caught them racing west of
the LewiSville entrance
road. The racers, about 80
in all, were given a lecture
by Capt. Michael D. Bend
rick and turned loose, after
their names were taken.
Police set out this
morning to rub out the
painted white lines before
anyone else succumbs to
the temptation of the wide,
straight, empty highway.

other construction projects will
have to be postponed because
of the wait.
The District will have around
$85 million piled up by next
April, waiting for clearances by
Congress and local planners,
Mr.. Grant said.
In Baltimore, Maryland high
way department officials said
they would study their program
to see if any projects can be
accelerated.
However, the only interstate
project in the Washington area,
the Capital Beltway already has
enough funds for completion.
Another interstate project,
Route IS, the third route to
Baltimore" is not programmed
for several years. Maryland Of
ficialS have complained that
there is uncertainty about
where the District will meet the
project. Yet another interstate
project, Route 70-S, is highly
controversial and also is not
scheduled for immediate con-
struction.
Shirley Highway Mentioned
The extra funds may be used
for the $18 million widening of
Shirley Highway if agreement
can be reached on planning
proposals.
Interstate Sc, which is to be
built through Arlington County
also is facing delays because
of planning disputes.
The National Park Service and
the National Capital Trans
portation Agency are involved
in local planning disputes. The
Park Service has blocked con-
struction of Interstate 266
which would use park land in
Arlington County, and of Three
Sisters Bridge.
The agency is asking fol-
postponement of highway prof.
ects while it evaluateS Wash
ington area highways for its
Transit Development Program
which is to be released this fall
President Kennedy last year
ordered 1913 million in highway
funds released early as a move
to needle the economy"
President Kennedy in his talk
to the Nation Monday night
mentioned the need to
strengthen the economy by in
creasing jobs. President Ken
nedy said:
"All these stands of admin
istrative and legislative action
have one common purpose, and
that is a purpose of jobs and
growth strengthening the
economy of our Nation, making
the most Of our machines and
men, refusing to be satisfied
with the status quo"
The $1.9 billion had been
frozen in the national highway
trust fund since 1859 to insure
the funds solvency. The fund
is financed from gasoline taxes
and other levies against high
way users.

AT ONE TIME the hottest
item was kit No. 4 which con-
tanned a small piece of stone
and an old square nail, for
which more than $500 orders
were received. Next in line
was 1000 orders for one old
brick. The non-profit group
Of dedicated government
workers sold 10000 packets by
January 1852 and $4,000
was turned over to the Gov
eminent.
Caught up in the enthusiasm
of unloading Washington of
its White House remains,
bricks were dispatched from
1000 Pennsylvania avenue to
Bad Aschl, Austria, and were
distributed among represent
tatives of free nations attend
ing the seventh world Boy
Scout jamboree there.
Meanwhile, another phone
call was placed to the Capitol
architects office. Did the
Capitol architect know the
columns were at the power
plant and were there any
plans for them?
Eyes, I had been informed
Of that. There is a Commits
sion for the Extension of the
us. Capitol, and I'd say the
decision would have to be
made by them. On that COM
mittee are Speaker McCor-
mack, Vice President johnson,
Senator Halleck, Chief Ar
chitect Stewart. I just asked
and they have no definite
plans as yet.
There was a proposal to use
them In part for the James
Madison memorial and that
idea fell to the ground. to the
best of my knowledge" said
Charles Henlock of the Ar
chitect's office.
"Cut them up for souvenirs?
Well, again that would be the
decision of the commission.
Those columns are right large
you know"

Bethesda
Man Killed
In Wreck

A Bethesda man was one of
two persons killed today when
the station wagon in which
they were riding spun out OF
control and plunged down a
35-foot embankment on the
northeast extension of the
Pennsylvania turnpike near
Lehighton, Pa.
State police identified the
dead as John Chambers, rs, OF
Bethesda, and Forrest B. Post
about SIS, of Portsmouth, Va.
Two other Montgomery
County men were injured in
the accident. They were Henry
Alter. 38, Of the Rosemary
Apartments in Silver Spring
and Robert Trauger. 26, of Be-
thesda, a bartender at the
Coachman Restaurant.
The Civic Reading Club OF
Bethesda, where Mr.. Chambers
a bachelar, worked part-time
as a collector, said he lived at
4401 East-West highway. He
also worked as a bartender al
the Coachman Restaurant.
Mr.. Alter is a statistical clerk
at the dental institute Of the
National Institutes of Health
He also is a parttime collector
for the reading club. .
State police said the accident
occurred 10 miles from the

driving the car, which bore
Maryland license plates.

A VISIT TO the pillars was
organized. Looking through
their wooden frames it was
apparent the 24-foot columns
had been well battered in
nearly $50 years Of helping
to hold up the Capitol.

stick them in some plot of
ground to create an Instant

who has been to Rome could
visualize what a tourist at
traction this might turn out
to be.
For those tempted to scott,
let it be said there have been
sillier proposals. In 1859
president Of B. T. Babbitt, Inc.
offered to cut up the columns
and give them away in his
cardboard boxes of soap as
premiums. The idea was re-
luctantly abandoned.

the District Commissioners
have simply to notify the Falls

What Price Accord?
The only people displeased
would be the promoters of
Merrywood and the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors.
We should not attempt tn
please them at the price of

ReusS said.
Mr.. Reuss noted that In
terror Secretary Udall has told
the Merrywood promoters they
cannot run a sewage disposal
line under the George Wash
ington Memorial parkway. The
Congressman said that this is
a "commendable" move, but
that there is nothing to prevent
the Merrywood developers from
building their own sewage dis
posal unit and dumping the
effluent into the Potomac.
Water, however, is a differen:
matter" the Congressman said
The comments were included
in a statement to be given by
Mr.. Reuss today at a hearing
on the controversial Potomac
palisades issue.

acceleration of highway con-
struction. Commerce Secretary
Hodges announced the release
of the funds today.
In congressional budget hear
ings, District officials have
said that permitting highway
construction to proceed will
stimulate employment in the
local area.
Projects Now Stymied
Harold Aitken, District high
way director, said more than
$40 million in Federal match
ing funds is available now and
cannot be used because of a
planning dispute. He said:
We're blocked on projects,
Even though we have projects,
we can't build them because of

Albert Grant, acting chief of
the Districts highway plan
ming and programming office,
said the administration move

increasing construction was be-
ing contradicted by local moves,

are shrinking" he said.
The House Appropriations
Committee in June cut local

gresham. Mr.. ReuSS earlier
introduced two bills designed
to stop the Merrywood project
and provide new protection for
the Potomac shoreline from
Great Falls to Mount Vernon.
Committee hearings have not
been scheduled on either bill,
Mr.. Reuss conceded today that
the odds are against enactment
of either measure.
Sees Law Adequate
But Mr.. Reuss said. For
tunately, the Merrywood devel-
opment can be stopped, under
existing law and policy, and
without any further legisla-
ton"
Mr.. Reuss explained that the
only practical way that the
Merrywood developers may Sc
cure water is by purchase from
the city of Falls Church. Falls
Church, in turn, gets its water
from the District of Columbia,
The statute and contract by
which the District supplies
water to Falls Church is Gin
structive," the Congressman
said. The enabling act of June
26, 1947. provides that the
water supply permit may be re-
voked at any time by the Sec
Rotary of War (actually, the
Corps Of Engineers) directly OF
upon the request Of the Board
of Commissioners :"
Mr.. Reuss went on to say
that the District now is supply
ing water to Falls Church un-
der a contract that states:
THE Government may at any
time terminate the services tt
be furnished under this con-
tract. -"
Can Halt Supply
Another section of the con
tract, Mr.. ReuSs said, says tn
Government has the right a
any time to investigate tn
water distribution systems and
if excessive wastage of water
is found. the water supply car
be curtailed.
Mr.. ReuSs said there is
ample justification in refus-
ing water to Merrywood under
the year 1000 plan" which
provides for open spaces along
the Potomac.
Therefore, Mr.. Reuss said,

With BoYcott
DC. Trunsit Agrees
To Employ IS

Washington, D. c., June 1 -
Faced with a possible boycott of
at least three of its lines, the D. C..
Transit Company, which operates
buses in the nations Capitol, has
agreed to hire 55 Negroes i'm
mediately.
The projected boycott was being
organized by steering committee
led by Washington CORE and
NAG, the Nonviolent Action Group
of Howard University. The COM
mittee had polled nearly 5000 resi-
dents of areas served by the 14th
Street, 18th Street and Benning
Road lines and found that 85% of
them favored a boycott unless the
company changed its employment
policy.
CORE chairman Julius Hobson
reported that car pool or 4S6
autos had been set-up to transport
persons boycotting the buses. Half
a million leaflets were printed.
Some were distributed at churches
by members of the American Fed
Grafton of State, County & Mum
icipal Employees.
Prompting the renewed drive for
a fair employment policy by D. C.
Transit was a story in the April
% Washington Afro American
which quoted a company official
as stating that there were only AZ
Negro drivers out of a total of
1900 and giving as a reason, you
got too many criminals" He also
admitted that the company did not
employ a single Negro secretarial
worker in its main office. Hobson
estimates that the company de-
rives more than half of its income
from Negro passengers.

almost $4,000 Negroes trade and
spend their consumers dollars.
1t realizes that some of the vast
amount of money which the Negro
spends is often spent with firms
which do not practice fair employ
ment practices, but needs greater
documentary proof that such ex-
penditures occur with such firms
and others.
Two weeks ago we began print
ing QUESTIONABLE survey of
this paper asking readers to fill
it in and mail it back to the paper.
we also asked that they not identi-
fly themselves - since only in this
manner would their answers be
kept confidential. A total of 435
readers have so far responded to
our request and we certainly ap-
preciate their thoughtfullness and
cooperation.
If you send the questionable on

1t will help the newspaper sell
more ad lineage to merchants who

1t will furnish the paper and
other agencies, public and private,
