Aunt Minnie Henneberger is
sewing a new dress. It is for a
special occaSion-her Tooth

Aunt Minnie, who doesn't
dwell upon the past, prefers to
read magazines and newspa-
pers and watch television. The
rest Of the time she spends
sewing and dressmaking. She
has made every dress she has
worn since she was "old enough
to wear them"
She was wearing a bright red
and black dress which she
made about three years ago
when interviewed last week.
Fhe dress she is sewing for her
party will have polka dots on
white silk. Throughput the
home are evidences e Ger nee

dered linen tablecloths and
towels.
Voted Only for Roosevelt
An avid Democrat, Aunt
Minnie thinks President Ken
nedy is "a fine young man."
But the only President she ever
voted for was Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
II never saw much in women
voting anyhow, so / just don't
do it" she states seriously.
She recalls her aunt telling
Of a day nearly 100 years ago.
Some troops who we're retreat
ing from Gettysburg stopped by
the farm, and my aunt baked
them some bread" Aunt Minnie
says. They would get awful
mean if you wouldn't bake
bread for them. They took some
cows and got as far as the pike,
but my aunt went after them
and she came back with the
cows. She was awful mad"
Her childhood home was in
Waynesboro, Pa, near Gettys-
burg. !
Priest Visits Her
Aunt Minnie begins her day
with her daily devotions. She
is a devout Catholic, but is not |
able to attend church. But the |
priest comes to visit her once a
month for communion. /
Although Aunt Minnie never
had any children of her own,
she spent the greater portion |
Of her life caring for her nieces !
and nephews. She lives with !
one niece, Miss Lyndell M. |

'Stretcher' May Expand
Wisconsin Avenue

ficials said they were looking
at recommendations Of the
study to see if they are prac-
teal for the projects.
Bus Bays
Some of the study's recon-
mendations involving minor
construction and financing are:
Installation Of bus bays so
buses would pull out of the
flow of traffic to pick up pas
sengers.
Putting in a flexible pro-
gresSive signal system" or in
other words. adjusting signals
to traffic.
Providing a modern lighting
system. painting a complete
system of lane markings. and
resurfacing the entire street.
Recommendations involving
major construction are:
Rebuilding the Q street inter-
section to reduce a "dog-leg"
where opposing legs Of the
street are offset, preventing
direct east-west crossing.
Construction of grade separa-
ton at Massachusetts, and
Wisconsin avenues.
Widening several sections
within rights-of-way.
The study did not consider
possible objections Of George
town residents, who have been
proposals to widen
Wisconsin avenue for a three
block stretch north Of M street.
Traffic conditions outside the
District line, or at the south
end of Wisconsin avenue, were
not considered.
Other recommendations to
cut congestion are:
Prohibit curb parking in
certain sections.
Enforcement Of prohibition
Of U-turns.
Prohibiting left turns into
and out of minor intersecting
streets. and eliminating some
turning movements in the mid
die Of blocks into driveways
and parking lots.

Bi-RocioI Group Wants
Official County Status

A bi-racial group of Prince

Rights and Relations.
The action was charted at ar
all-day seminar at Northwest
ern High School yesterday.
Eighty clergymen, represent
atives of religious and COM

private citizens attended the
seminar, sponsored by the
County's Ministerial Union and
the Committee for the Estab-
lishment Of a Human Relations
Commission.
Pedro A. Sanjuan, assistant
chief of protocol for the De-
partment of State. delivered
the keynote address.
The County Commissioners
have Stunned previous propos-
ais for establishment Of a hui
man relations commission. The
bi-racial committee decided to
operate in an unofficial capaci-
ty should the commissioners
reject their new plea.
jerome C. Hancock, of Bea-
yer Heights, was named chair
man of the committee.
Mr.. Sanjuan spoke primarily
on racial discrimination as it
affects foreign diplomats.
Discrimination is practiced
quite effectively in the field of
housing in Washington" he
said.
But its once subtle virulence
is becoming more obvious every
day. now that highly-pl

BILLY ran into the house and
told us and I went down there
and pulled her to the bank"
Mr.. Butler said. II had my wife
call police and the rescue

Mr.. Butler said a woman's
shoe-prints along the bank led

Area Nurses

Ia
In Salaries

Area hospital officials have
agreed to raise registered
nurses salaries by 8 per cent,
an increase that viii probably
cost patients 81 to 50 a day.
The salary raise was recon-
mended yesterday by the Hos
pital Council of the National
Capital Area. to which 10 area
hospitals belong. in "a joint
announcement with the Dis
trict Graduate Nurses ASSocia-
ton. b,
The date recommended for
the raises to go into effect is
September /. An official of
the council said it was not likely
that patients costs would be
increased before then.
Under the recommended
scale, the annual starting SAL
airy for registered nurses would
be lifted from the present
1920 to 5000.
The existing salary schedule
provides q 4 per cent increase
for each of the first five years
OF a nurses employment, with
a maximum salary of $4,464.
Calculated from the recon-
mended base, this maximum
would rise to $4,824.
The council said most general
duty nurses in non-profit hos
pitfalls can expect to get the in
creases as soon as individual
hospital boards of trustees &C
cept the recommendation.
Some hospitals, however. may
not be able to adopt the full
increase Immediately but are
expected to provide Increases as

ects to persons displaced by
municipal actions.
Relocation Service Proposed
The proposed legislation,
drafted by the Corporation
Counsel's Office at the Com
lmissioners' request, would au-
thorize the Commissioners to
set up a central relocation
service through an agreement
with the Districts RedeYelop-
ment Land Agency.
Commissioner Walter N.
Tobriner said he was concerned
that establishment of this
central service was not guaran-
teed, but instead depended
upon agreement by the land
agency.
Under provisions Of the bill,
the city would provide the
same services, including NOV
ing payments, to all of the
families displaced by the
municipal projects as are Of
fered to those forced out by
redevelopment action.
Other Points Questioned
Other points questioned at
Fridays meeting included the
omission Of a ceiling for NOV
ing payments to business firms,
the inclusion of assistance to
residents ousted by non-Gov-
eminent action, and the omis-
sion Of displacement aid to
those moved by Federal Gov
eminent action.
City officials hope to have
the bill redrafted and cleared
by the Commissioners for sub
mission to Congress by the end
Of this month.

BY accident, the route chosen

In a study announced yester-

A draft relocation bill failed
to clear the Commissioners
Friday after questions were
raised on major points in the
proposed legislation. The Com
missioners hope to see Congress
pass legislation this session
that will strengthen the city's

projects.
Guarantee Probable
The bill that the District
sends to Congress probably will
carry some sort Of guarantee
that decent housing will be
available for the displaced
families, Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick j. Clarke said.
This would bring the Dis
trict's displacement actions for
such projects as highways and
schools in line with a rehousing
certification required for re-
development projects.
The Districts displacement
and rehousing practices are
major factors in the controversy
over the city's highway con-
