u. N. Trusteeship
Status Proposed
For District

Representative Edith Green,
Democrat of Oregon. proposed
today that the District of Co.
lumbia be placed under the
United Nations Trusteeship
Council as a non-self governing
territory.
The proposal, she said, was
made because the city has been
denied home rule.
Mrs. Green said she felt the
Trusteeship Council was the
proper agency to help the Dis
trict achieve local suffrage.
II think it particularly fit
ting" she said, that the U. NJ,
which has been responsive to
the aspirations of many terri
tories throughout the world, be
asked to assume the RESPONSE
bility Of bringing a fairly
highly developed, peaceable,
literate territory through what
ever stages are necessary to
achieve self-government."
She said that under the plan
District residents would have a
right to petition the Trustee
ship Council which, she said,
would probably be more re-
sponsive than the Congress of
the United States"

whom the Wagners said they
had never seen before, looked
"downcast" after they were
spoken to by the waitress, Mrs.
Sylvia Collier.
Sought to Explain
Mr.. Wagner then approached
the four, all students, and
asked them outside so he could
explain to them why they
could not be served. Mrs. Wag-
ner said her husband and the
four Negroes got into his car,
where the four explained they
were not there for a "sit in"
but had stopped because they
had been told at school that
the restaurant served Negroes.
Meanwhile, the waitress had
called police, and troopers
ordered Mr.. Wagner to drive his
car from the property. The
students left Mr.. Wagner's car,
got into their own and drove
away but Mr.. Wagner at
tempted to explain the situation
to the troopers, according to
Mrs. Wagner. She said the
troopers grabbed her husband

his explanation, pulled him to

him.

wing, said yesterday he had
not applied any pressure.
There is no truth to it,"
Senator Goldwater said in
Washington. II have never
personally appealed to him to
run for the Senate"
Mr.. McKeldin, whose liberal
thinking contrasts with that
of Senator Goldwater, also had
claimed the Republican Ma
tional Committee had asked
him to seek the Senate nom
ination in the Maryland prim-
ary.
Unaware of It
But Representative William
E. Miller, Republican of New
York, Republican National
Chairman, said he was totally
unaware of any pressure and I
think I would be cognizant of it
if there was any,"
Senator Goldwater recalled
stating last fall he hoped Mr..
McKeldin would run for Gov
ernor. The Arizona Senator
said he made the statement
when he appeared on the same
program with Mr.. McKeldin at
a Republican rally in Howard
County. He said he had not
seen Mr.. McKeldin since then.
ANY good Republican would
be welcome" Senator Gold
water said.
Senator Smith Replies
Senator Smith said today
that she had made mo personal
appeal" to Mr.. McKeldin to seek
the Senate seat, but added that
she thought he was a strong
candidate for the Senate"
The Senator from Maine said
Mr.. McKeldin visited her in
January to extend an invitation
for her to speak at a meeting in
Baltimore, but said she had to
decline because of another en-
gagement.
I'm our conversation" she
recalled today, II expressed the
personal opinion that a Beall-
McKeldin ticket would be a
very good vote-getting ticket"
She explained that she was
referring to Senator Beall, Re-
publican of Maryland, as a can
didate for Governor and Mr..
McKeldin for the Senate.

peal. He said he had not
thought of running" Senator

"WHEN YOU WORE A

WHEN YOU WORE A
TULIP" started me wonder
ing what has happened to
those pianos. The next day
1 called the Census of Manu-
facturers, a division of the
Census Bureau.
7 was not surprised to
learn that 1923 was the peak
year for pianos. That's when
the new improvement had
made player pianos respec-
table. In 1923 the value of
pianos shipped from the fac
tories totaled Sill million.
That went down to ST mil
lion in 1888.
The depression not only
did away with player grand
pianos, it did away with most
of the piano factories. There
were about 1870. Today there
are only a few more than 20.
The surprising thing is
that the piano is coming
back. In 1858 the total value
of pianos shipped from the
factories was $61 million. In
1860 it was $81 million.
But that didn't answer the
question. What happened to
those wonderful player grand
pianos?
Ralph Weschler of Adam
Weschler & Sons, the E
street auction house, said he
hadn't seen one since the
last war.
Russell Leonard of Camp
bells Music Co. said some
are still around. The piano
tuners fix them up and sell

she rather regretted having
