D. c. Acts Ovel
Protests From
Boot Operators

Despite protests of boat oper-
ators, the District Commis-
sioners today authorized the
Redevelopment Land Agency TO
proceed with construction of q
Maine avenue bulkhead en-
tension at the Municipal Fish
Wharf.
This was disclosed by Col.
Thomas K. Fullerton, assistant
engineer commissioner. sk,
Col. Fullerton explained that
the Commissioners had care
fully considered the objections
by the boat operators but had
decided the extension should
be built.
Perry A. Cannon, spokesman
for the boat operators, has
commended that extension Of
the bulkhead would deprive the
boatmen of part of their dock
ing space.
Minimize Inconvenience
Mr.. Cannon said today he
had mo comment whatsoever
at this time" regarding the
Commissioners action.
Phil A. Doyle, RIA executive
director, said work could be
started within the reasonably
near future"
1--WE will expedite this work
as much as possible to minimize
the temporary inconvenience
to the fishing boat owners" he
said.
MY feeling is that this work
will not disturb their operations
for longer period than would
have been necessary under their
own plan," he said.
Construction Delayed
Construction of the buIkhead
in this area at the north end
of the waterfront, between
Pier 3 of the Municipal Fish
Wharf and the Capital Yacht
Club had been scheduled to start
October l, but was postponed
because the boatment did not
want to leave.
Col. Fullerton said that the
Commissioners felt the bulk
head work would benefit the
boat operators by creating
additional parking space for
customers and other helpful
facilities.
He added that changing the
plans to meet the objections of
the boatment would have cost
$4,000.
Senators Beall, Republican Of
Maryland, and Robertson, Dem
ocrat of Virginia, were active
in trying to persuade District
Officials and the boatmen to

ask to Be Let Alone"
Mr.. Cannon earlier said that
the boatmen bring the prod
ucts from many hundreds Of
Maryland and Virginia fisher
men to Washington and all
they asks is to be let alone.
Reached today at his office
in Cumberland, Nd, Senator
Beall said he hoped the Com
missionerS' decision wouId
work out to the mutual bene-
fit of the boatmen and the
city" He said he was still
concerned over the matter and
hoped the work would be done
"eXpeditiouSly."
Mr.. Beall previously had ar
ranged a meeting of boatmen
with District and RIA officials,
acting in his own behalf and
that of Senator Robertson. At
the time the issue arose, the
Virginia Senator was in Brazil
as chairman of the United

Tries
To Console D. c.
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

u
Readers Of The Star who
haven't moved to the sub
urbs probably feel a little
left out OF it today,
But they should cheer up.
Two years from now-on the
first Tuesday after the first
Monday of November, 1864
they will be able to help de-
eide one Of the most inter-
esting contests in American
political history-if it's Ken
nedy versus Rockefeller, that
is.
Many newcomers to the
Capital do not realize Wash
ingtonians elected periodi-
cally their own mayor, and
that less than 100 years ago.
The last mayorality con-
test was in 1870. Washing
ton, despite its Civil War ex-
pansion was a very small city
population, 100000 bound
ed by Florida avenue on the
north. The rest Of the Dis
trict was "the county"
The 1870 campaign was a
bitter one. The enfranchise-
ment of the Negro right
after the Civil War had
caused stress and strain but
nothing like the turbulence
from the same cause in the
Deep South.
Sayles j. Bowen who had
been elected mayor in 1867
with the support of the radical
Republicans in Congress, was
the incumbent. Matthew G..
Emery, a Republican and a
businessman, was 1omi-
mated by the opposition.
There was only one issue.
The voters were for or
against Bowen.
The election was held on
June 6. Congress was still in
session.

ut is the Public Assistance
Division, particularly the aid to

which has within its power,
through financial aid and case
work services, major preven-

she said.
Mrs. Marion H. jackson, a
member of the board of direc-
tors of the D. C. Chamber of
Commerce, urged expansion of
the staff for the District Coun-
Gil on Human Relations.
Problems of combating dis
elimination, segregation and
prejudice in the Nationals
Capital, the worlds hope for
democracy, must be met" she
said, "if we are to continue to
serve as a beacon light to other
nations.
More Librarians Urged
Mrs. Jack GottSegen, speak
ing for the Washington Section
Of the National Council of Jew
ish Women, told the Commits
sioners that money is needed
for more teachers, continuation
of the counselors program in
schools and support for addi-
tional Librarians for Junior high
schools and funds for a direc-
tor Of library sciences.
She said the group believes
"a public school program Of
high quality is one Of the most
effective ways to insure the So
cial and economic health of oul
city"
The council also supported
aid to need children of unem-
ployed parents and said it de-

Major Local Issues
In Montgomery County, ma
jor interest is in the races for
County Council and posts in
the General Assembly. Large
numbers of Democratic and
Republican workers were pa
trolling the polls.
In Prince Georges, heavy in
terest is centered in the vote
on a charter form of govern
ment. Charter hacker were
reported at almost every poll
distributing literature urging
change in the form of govern
ment.
In nearby Virginia area the
only local contest is a three
way race for one seat on the
Arlington County Board.
The Maryland gubernatorial
candidates made final appeals
for votes last night on televi-
sion.
Corruption Charged
Mr.. Small hit hard again on
his claims of corruption in State
government.
"The voters have witnessed
numerous scandals during my
opponents administration: the
tape recording incident involv-
ing political boss Jack Pol
lack; the savings and loan
scandals, the Assateague Island
deals and many Others" Mr..
Small said.
Maryland Republican Chair
man David Scull also loosed a
last-minute blast at the Demo-
Gratis, declaring the voters are
faced in this election with an
overriding moral ISSUE"
will they reward a political
party and politicians who have
so flagrantly and repeatedly
placed personal a dvantageI
ahead of public interest during
the last four years." he asked.
Kennedy Tie Stressed
Gov. Tawes and his running
mates drew on President Ken
nedy's recent rally in Baltimore
to bolster their final pitch.
On a television program, the
Governor showed film clips of
the Presidents plea for cleo
ton Of Democrats.
"As your Governor for four
years, I have done my best to
make Maryland a better place
In which to live and work."
said Gov. Tawes. II do not
try to claim that my record
is perfect. I will not try and
tell you that I possess some
magic formula that will cure
all our ills in the next four
years. I can only give
you my pledge to do what
is best for all the people of
this State"
Herbert r. O'Conor, jr., DEM
ocratic campaign manager, said
the Republicans last-minute
appeals were typical" of their
campaign of "distorting the
truth regarding savings and
loan regulation, Maryland's fis-
cal affairs and the host
of other fine progressive pro-
grams that have been instituted
by Gov. Tawes."
