SEND A KID TO CAMP
2LittIe Girls Need
To Know You Care

Sometimes even children
must find courage to start
again.
That's the way it is for
Rhoda, 10, and her sister Nam
cy. II.
Tragedy came early to their
house.
Their father died, and their
mother, stricken with a serious
illness, is confined to a nursing
home.
The girls have gone to live
with an aunt who has found
room among her own brood for
two more youngsters.
She has truly made her home
their own.
Already they have taken her
to their hearts.
When they grow up, the girls
have announced, they want to
work and make life easier for
her.
But only time will bring real
belonging, and the girls still
occasionally feel shy and lost
Each good experience is an
important block in building
their new lives.
Camp can be that kind of
experience. There they will
find friends and learn again
from counselors, as they have
from their aunt, that there are
many grown-ups who care
what happens to two little girls.
Following is a list of donors
to the camp fund and the
amounts they have given:

Edgar Bernstein Named
10 Utility Commission

President Kennedy today
nominated Edgar H. Bernstein,
president Of the Districts
Young Democratic Club, to be
q member of the Public Util-
ities Commission here for a
three-year term.
The nomination of the WASH
ington economist and Statisti-
clan is to fill the vacancy that
will open on the P. U. c. June
80 when the term of Republican
Harold A. Kertz expires.
Mr.. Bernstein, 80, will receive
$15,255 in the regulatory post
if confirmed. He formerly was
an engineer with the PennSyl-
vania Utility Commission at
Harrisburg.
The nominee is an economist
with the firm of Foster Asso-
ciateS here and has specialized
in the public utilities field.
Mr.. Bernstein lives at 1901
Clydesdale place NV.
The Senate District Commit
tee is expected to hold hear
ing on the nomination within
10 days.
Mr.. Bernstein said his philos-
ophy about the P. U. c. is that
as long as a utility provides
reasonable services and its de-
mands are not unreasonable,
he is willing to go along.
Mr.. Bernstein. who is not
married, was born in Pitts
burgh, where his parents still
live. He was educated in schools
there and enlisted in the Army
after his freshman year at the
University of Pittsburgh in
1913. The nominee served
three years in the Army, two
of them in Alaska in the in

fantry, and was released In
1851 as private first class.
He returned to Pitt, complet-
ing his studies with an MA
in 1855. He went to work for
the State P. U. C. in Harrisburg
as an evaluation engineer OF
utility plants.
He came to Washington in
1857 to work for David A. Kosh
Associates, his duties including
preparing cross examination
and exhibits and functioning
as an economies analyst in
matters before the Federal
Power Commission and other
Government agencies.
He Joined the Foster firm
last March, the same month he
was elected president of the

"AS YOU CAN imagine,
we've had all sorts of sug-
gestions of what to do with
it, besides the restaurant
idea. We could use the car
deck for small boat storage.
Or 1t could be a floating
yacht club"
Getting out past the three
mile limit and setting up riv-
erboat gambling was a sug-
gestion soon discarded. The
restaurant theme still strikes
the Heys and Nisongers as
most desirable.
1--WE thought of Alexandria
but we had to go to City
Hall, the Old Town Citi-
zens Association, etc., and we
had to have a coming permit.
Then we thought of Balti-
more. You know, we haven't
met anyone who doesn't
think it's a terrific idea, but
it seems we couldn't work out
anything without giving the
boat away"
Meanwhile, the ferry had
to leave its resting spot in
Richmond. The dock is be-
ing torn down.

"WE WERE GOING to
start for Cambridge on Sat-
urday, to anchor it in front
Of the Heys' farm. We hired
a tug to pull us. We couldn't
go ourselves without a Ii
censed crew and the boilers
Inspected and, Of course, the
engine put in working con-
dition.
1--WE left a day late, be-
cause the tug boat people
were fighting with their
boss"
At 2::3O Sunday morning,
In hard driving rain and a
blaze of searchlights, the tug
boat arrived, land then the
crew all promptly went to
bed until daylight"
On Sunday they moved
slowly out, through the
middle of the James River
reserve fleet of 800 and some
boats. And you should have
seen us going through the
narrow channel. The tug
boat captain said, 7 think
this is the first time a tug
boats been up this river
and the way all those fisher
men stared, I think it was,
too"
Twenty friends went along,
II of them children, plus a
huge ham, bucket loads of
chicken to eat and a few live
ones a bored guest brought
along for amusement.
The 37-year-old boat has
been painted on the outside,
but not on the inside and,
with its 1925 lines, looks like
q still active ghost.

Choir at the Heys' place Tues
day at dawn. Joe and Julie
Nisonger,. who live in Adel-
phi, Md, will go out with the
Heys often this summer to
look at their find. Their plans
are still uncertain.

very good summer fishing
lodge or a hunting lodge in
deer hunting season, for the
time being" said Mrs. Nison-
ger.

NCHA Plans
LoW-Income
HomeLeuses

The National Capital Housing
Authority yesterday received a
$194,470 Federal grant to lease
so large houses for large. low
income families.
Housing Administrator Rob-
ert c. Weaver who approved the
Federal grant said it was the
ss.rst to be made under a pro-
gram included in the Housing
Act of 1861 which authorized a
maximum of SIS million in
grants to public and private
bodies to develop and demon
strate new or improved means
of providing housing for low
income persons and families.
The grant received by the
NCHA will finance an expert
mental program expected to be
completed within two-and-a-
half years.
The NCHA will lease large
houses which are now vacant
or which can be vacated and
then will sublet them to large
families on the Districts wait
ing list for low-rent, public
housing.
The Washington Real Estate
Board and the Washington
Real Estate Brokers Association
will be asked to help the NCHA
locate suitable dwellings to be
leased from their private owners.
Tenants for the houses will
be selected by NCHA. The D. C..
Redevelopment Land Agency
and the D. c. Department of
Welfare's Relocation Service
will refer families to the Hous-
ing Authority.
Mr.. weaver said the NCHA
project is designed to test a
method for rapidly housing and
rehousing large families of low
income in private, subsidized
housing and within a non
institutional environment.
Walter Washington, NCHA
executive director, said he
looked with great enthusiasm
toward development of the
demonstration.
ut will be another relief to
the large, low-income families
of the District" he said.

at a hearing today Of Harold

Mr.. Applegarth was indicted
as a result Of distribution Of an

sought by Mr.. Applegarth's
attorneys, Leon H. A. Pierson
and H. Russell Smouse.
Mr.. Pierson explained he
wanted the documents to show

land to support his argument
that Mr.. Applegarth could not
get a fair trial. Today's hear
ing is on an attempt by Mr..
Pierson to gain a postponement
of the trial. -
Mr.. Pierson explained that
he had asked for the television
scripts following an unsuccess-

nouncements and speeches.
Baltimore television stations
had refused to show some Of
Mr.. Mahoney's programs, giv-

were televised in the Washing

In these TV announcements
the Baltimore contractor and
political challenger had blasted
Gov. Tawes for his policies on

he was unable to serve the sub

he could content himself with

DemO0atsGet
Platform Draft
In Maryland
Reupportionment,
Anti-Bius PIunks
Are Proposed
By PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

BALTIMORE, June IA
platform which pledges to
work for q bill to outlaw racial
discrimination in hotels and
restaurants was placed before
Democratic convention dele
gates today.
Among other goals the plat
form pledges the party to sup
port are enactment of q
permanent plan for reappor-
tionment of the House Of Dele
gates, a motor vehicle inspec-
ton law, improvement of the
secondary roads system, and an
intensive attack on metropoli-
tan area problems.
The proposed platform was
drafted after conferences with
Gov. TaweS and other Demo-
cratic candidates and party
leaders.
Former Baltimore Mayor
Thomas D'Alesandro, the key
note speaker, asked for party
unity. Noting that the recent
party primary was bitter, Mr..
|D'Alesandro, who is a member
Of the Federal Renegotiations
Board, said that the Republic
cans are hoping for OLSEN
sion within our ranks" to carry
them to victory in November.
Mr.. D'Alesandro called the
Republicans in Maryland and
Nationwide politically bank
rupt" and said their policies
are subject to the whims of a
handful of men whose concept
of the role of Government is
archaic"
Formal Nomination Set
Also on the agenda is formal
nomination Of candidates who
won in the May is Democratic
primary. They are Gov. Tawes,
Controller Louis L. Goldstein
and Attorney General Thomas
B. Finan. all running for re-
election; Representative Daniel
B. Brewster, seeking a United
States Senate post, and Carlton
r. Sickles, running for Repre-
senative-at-large.
Party leaders last night put
the final touches on the pro-
the final touches on the plat
form.
1t went first to a resolu.
tons committee headed by
William c. Walsh, former
Maryland attorney general anc
a longtime party stalwart from
Cumberland.
The human rights plank
pledges the party 10 work for
an equal public accommoda-
lions bill which failed last
winter In the General Assembly.
Opposition Seen
1t would prohibit hotel and
restaurant owners from refus-
ing to serve Negroes. The move
for such legislation came after
several African diplomats were
refused service at restaurants
along Route 40. The plan is
expected to be opposed by
delegates from the Eastern
Shore.
The reapportionment plank
pledges to carry out a per-
manent plan TO replace the
stop-gap House revision enacted
last week. Reapportionment
of the House to give metro
pilitan areas more representa-
ton was ordered by Circuit
Court Judge o. Bowie Duckett.
However, Judge Duckett ruled
that the State Senate was ap-
portioned properly along geo.
graphic lines. The Committee
for Fair Representation is ap-
pealing that part of his de-
cision.
The platform is the first
to suggest a motor vehicle
inspection system.
A bill to provide for annual
inspection of autos is expected
to be introduced in the Gen.
eral Assembly next year.

neatly attired in a gray suit

at 5512 Connecticut avenue

envelope.
Office Manager John Cahill

"a friend, Broaddus Hey,
saw this old ferry boat in
Richmond and said that
would be dandy for a res

About 1877 feet long. Holds

Steam driven. Enormous

This was in September,
1864. The ferry with the I'M

ersed the waters from New
port News to Norfolk until
1858, when the newly built
tunnel rendered them use
less.
She was purchased at that
time by a wealthy man who
took one impulsive look and
decided to buy her for his
daughters coming out party.
His wife took a less impulsive
look and the daughter came
out somewhere else. -.,
"It took him ga years to

said Mrs. Nisonger with a

AFTER we bought it we
worked on places to put it.
