A citizens committee, headed
by a national authority on
youth problems, win seek the
underlying causes Of the VOL
ence following last weeks st.
John's-Eastern High School
football game.
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
announced yesterday that
Shane MacCarthy, former ex-
ecutive director of the Presi-
dents Council on Youth Fit
ness, will lead the investigation
into the wild melee among the
crowd of $4,000 after the city
championship game at D. C..
Stadium.
More than 40 persons were
injured, and Is arrested.
Race Riot Discounted
Mr.. MacCarthy told a press
conference yesterday that his
14-year-old niece was slapped
in the face by a woman as he
led his party of five girls and
three boys to a parking lot. He
said, however. that his own
mind was clear of bias, and de-
clined to give the race of the
woman who he said, slapped his
niece. ..-
Eastern is predominantly
Negro, and st. Johns almost
all-white. There were an esti-
mated $4,000 Negro spectators.
But police and other officials
have emphasized that the OUT
break was not a race riot and
grew out. of bad tempers after
the 20-7 st. Johns victory.
The committee of "9 or 10"
leading citizens will try to
formulate recommendations to
help prevent a recurrence Of
mob violence at a high school
athletic contest.
Mr.. MacCarthy said the COM
mittee, large in stature. small

I have the highest regard for

Officials at the game said
that crowd temper worsened
after Calvin Harris, an Eastern
player was elected from the
game for roughness in the third
quarter. He ran back on the
field to strike out at st Johns
players, and was himself carried
from the field on a stretcher.
AS the final whistle blew,
spectators in the Eastern stands,

The
Rambler
Finds Out
About Route 66
By GEORGE KENNEDY
Get your kicks on Route 66
From an OLD Song

ny OEOhGE KENNEDY
Get your kicks on Route 66
Prom an OLD Song
From time to time the
Rambler has read about the
problem of blasting Route 66
through Arlington County to
reach the new Theodore
Roosevelt Bridge.
Route 66! The highway of
song and story and Tv ad-
venture-the road to a new
life that the poor Joad
family of The Grapes of
Wrath" trekked in their
migration from the Okla
homa dustbowl to the prom
ised land of California.
The time Will come, he
thought, when he will put
his 1866 sports car on it and
drive to the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado and the
Painted Desert and the Pet
rified Forest.
Life has its minor disap-
pointmentS which sometimes
protect US against major
ones.
He encountered one of the
minor ones when he asked
how the new highway was
to connect with the famous
road in the West. No one
seemed to know.
He finally was sent to the
Am erican Association of
State Highway Officials in
the National Press Building.
Alfred E. Johnson, execu-
tive secretary, told him:
You're mixed up. Virginia
Interstate 66, the new road
under construction between
Washington and Strasburg
in the Shenandoah Valley,
has nothing to do with U. S.
66 which runs from Chicago
through st. Louis and Tulsa
and Oklahoma City and
Amarillo and Albuquerque to
Santa Monica"
Evening star., 1962-11-27


THAT'S A TOUCHY ques-
ton.
"The cities and towns and
chambers of commerce and
moteIs and restaurants
along Route So feel they
have a vested interest in
that number. They have
spent millions in promotion
from advertising to station
cry.
"They become very dis
turbed when the TV shows
are based on crimes in New
Orleans or Buffalo or Mil
waukee. None is near Route
66.
"This new road, Virginia
Interstate 66, is built under
the 1856 law in which the
Federal Government meets
30 per cent of the cost of
approved interstate roads.
These new roads are
interstate They are limited
by law to a total of Al, 900
miles. Most are built across
country-entirely new roads.
The routes numbered in
1926 and subsequent years
are u. S. routes although
the Federal Government
paid no more than 20 per
cent of their cost.
There are now 10000
miles of them and the route
numbers are over 500.
"If every road in the coun-
try had another number,
some would be like telephone
numbers. The new roads are
numbered by the same COM
mittee of this organization
that designated the numbers
for the u. s. routes.
"It is the committees
policy not to have two roads,
U. S. and interstate, with
the same number in the
same State.
Even so, we are going to
have complaints about 'Vir-
ginia Interstate &c. Busi-
nessmen on U. s. 66 would
prefer that no other high
way anywhere should have
that magic number"
Evening star., 1962-11-27
TAKEN ABACK, THE

TAKEN ABACK, THE
RAMBLER could only ask
who selected the number
for the new road?"
Mr.. Johnson's answer was:
THE Numerology Commit
tee of this organization"
He then gave a short his
tory of the numbering Of
roads.
Originally all roads only
had names. Numbering them
began in Wisconsin in 1917.
by 1925 there was so
much interstate travel that
a committee of State High
way Officials was given the
task of selecting the best
routes across state lines from
city to city.
"They used a big highway
map of the United States
and stuck colored pins in it
to show the best routes and
gave them numbers.
Those routes and those
numbers have continued.
"They gave odd numbers
to routes running North and
South and even numbers
East and West.
Thus U. s. / became the
main route in the East.
"The East West routes be-
came u. S. so, U. S. 40, u. s.
30, ETC."
That seemed clear enough.
But the Rambler still had a
question.
How come we have a
Route Sc here in Virginia2"

Driven Off Course

The winds drove the Avian
further off course and she was
wallowing in heavy seas with
half Of her mainsail missing
when the Manley saw her flares
and spotted the international
distress signal on the ketch.
When the Manley took the
Avian under tow about noon
yesterday, the crew decided
to stay aboard and ride into
Charleston. But the tow line
broke shortly before 8 pm. and
the Manley came alongside the
ketch to take off the WASH
ington area men.
The seas were 20 feet high
MIR. Humphreys reported, and
the vessels rolled together. The
Manley hit the Starboard side
of the Avian above the waterline
as the three-man crew was
taken aboard. The disabled
ketch was towed for about 80
minutes before she sank.
