of the vicious measure stood naked and
revealed to everyone.
Meanwhile a large number OF edl-
tors throughout the state, aware OF
this attempted intimidation OF a tree
press, had written indignant letters
protesting this illegal and unconsltu-
tional legislation. Many of them took
it up personally with their own repre-
sentatives and senators.
So the Infamous bill finally died
an unlamented death on the House
Calendar when the session adjourned.
1t had been shunted up and down, back
and forth on the House Calendar from
day to day for the past month. 1t could
have been acted upon any time the
powerful Rules Committee passed the
word.
Rep. Wilburn Hooker of Lexing-
ton, one of the founders and largest
stockholders in the Holmes County
Herald, is a member Of the Rules Com
mittee which would have acted to pass
the bill any day he wished. Yet Mr..
Hooker never gave the word.
Why did he fail to do so?
Could it have been he was afraid
the House would vote against the bill
designed to economically aid his news
paper since the whole state knew about
it? Now that the representatives had
BEEN alerted by their editors as to what
was really behind the bill and under
s~tandably resented the fact that they
were being used in this unethical
manner?
Or, could it have been Mr.. Hooker
felt this little IDEAL was just a wee
bit too raw for even the people of
Holmes County to take without throw
ing up = possibly back in his face?
Maybe, for some folks hereabouts
are sick from swallowing too much
Hooker and Herald already. Lexington
and Holmes County are suffering bad
ly because of the widespread division
and strife created by them and agitated
by their following.
But the more probable reasOn why
Hooker failed to call the bill up for
action by the House is that he knew
he could not win - and that in any
attempt to force passage of the spite
full and unconstitutional law he per-
sonally would have been unmasked by
some of his colleagues and his true
nature revealed for all the world to see
Most people in Holmes County
know it already - and more are learn
ing every day.
His conduct is morally indefensi-
BILE, even by his best friends. To use
an elective office to promote ones W
economic interests and self-advance-
ment OF to ruthlessly seek to destroy
ones opposition is both dishonorable
and reprehensible.
And, come next election, we be-
lieve the people of Holmes County will
do something about it.

settlement was destroyed within a

Overnight stops in the vicinity OF
Wilmington, New Castle, Odessa or
Dover can be particularly reward

historic buildings and sites or mu-
Seums.
Winterthur Museum and Hagley
Museum, located on the historic
Brandywine River northwest OF
Wilmington, are a bit removed
from the dupont Parkway but are
well worth the time consumed by
"side trip.
An advance appointment should
be made for a visit to the Winter
thur Museum which features 100
period rooms covering the Ameri-
can domestic scene 1640-1S40. The
Hagley Museum, nearby, is a re-
stored 1914 vintage textile mill &
features exhibits that trace the in
dustrial development of the area.
The Delaware Art Center, on
Park Drive in Wilmington, is the
permanent home of collections of
the works of Howard Pyle and 9TH
er famous artists. The old Wilm-
ington Town Hall, now a museum,
has many interesting exhibits f
Delawareans.
Fort Christina Park, at the foot
of Seventh Street in Wilmington,
features monument marking the
site where Swedes established Tin
1881 the first permanent Europ-
can settlement in what is now Del
aware. Nearby is Old SWedeS
Church, founded in 1893 and said
to be the oldest Protestant Church
in North America still in active
use as a place of worship.
Within a short distance of the
Delaware Memorial Bridge and the
DUPONT Parkway is New Castle,
site of William Penn's first land
ing on American soil and one of
the most completely preserved Col
onial communities in America.
Here, amid the hustle and hustle
of modern day living, one finds an
inspiring Colonial charm that re-
fleets the influence of the Dutch,
the Swedes and the English who

The Amstel House and Old

the Episcopal Diocese of Della

er interesting places to be seen at
New Castle.
Delaware City, small commun-
ity that failed to become the met
ropolis planned by its founders,
lies to the east of the dupont Park
way near the eastern end of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
In the Delaware River, off Della
ware City, lies Pea Patch Island,
now a state park. On the Island is
Fort Delaware, partly restor-
ed fortress, which for a century
guarded the water approaches to
Wilmington, Philadelphia and 9TH
er Delaware River ports, and also

served as a prison for Confederate
soldiers during the Civil War. Boat
transportation from Delaware City
to Pea Patch Island and return is
available on weekends through Oct.
Astraddle the dupont Parkway,
midway between Wilmington a n d
Dover, is the picturesque village of
Odessa, important as a trading and
shipping center in the 18th and
18th centuries. The charm of O.
dessa's earlier years has been pre-
served in nearly two dozen restor-
ed dwellings and buildings. T h e
Corbit House Q722) and the David
Wilson Mansion Q74O, which are
now museums, provide excellent
examples of the Georgian Colon
ial architecture of the 1700's.
Belmont Hall, on the Parkway
just south of Smyrna, is a private
residence that has colorful past
as does "Woodburn" another pri-
vate residence on Kings Highway
in Dover, the state capital.
The Old State House on It h e
Green, in Dover, is the second old
est State House in continuous use.
The Legislative Hall, the Hall of
Records (Archives) and other gov
ernment buildings are nearby, and
though of comparatively rece n t
construction, match the Colonial
architectural styling of the Ole
State House.
Nearby, on Governors Avenue
GU. S. 13A) is the Delaware State
Museum which offers exhibits on
many phases of Delaware life. A
Swedish-type loghouse is one o
the many outstanding attractions
at this museum, which is open
Tuesday through Saturday fro m
10 am. to pm. and on Sundays
from pm. to pm. (it is closed
on Mondays and holidays). Th e
governmental buildings are op e n
Monday through Friday, $3.50 am.

the days when early American his
tory was made here.
On Delaware Rt 8, just a short
distance southeast of US. Route 13.
is the John Dickinson Mansion, the
restored home of the "Penman of
the Revolution. Dickinson was the
author of the Articles of Confed-
Grafton and other Revolutionary
War period documents and also
served both Delaware and Pen
nsylvania as chief executive. The
Mansion is open daily except for
Mondays and holidays.
Enroute to the Dickinson Man
sion, one passes the Dover Air

amount of leadership it uses
Mr.. Tucker said. 1.-THE same
people are on the same boards

Mr.. Tucker added that the
course also might enable the
city's civic and service organi-
cations to work more effec-
lively.
There are many groups" he
said, "but they have little
awareness of the community
and how it functions"
The As community leaders
are scheduled to attend the
course, directed by the National
Training Laboratories and the
Howard University School Of

ruary 10-17, under the pro-
gram, announced today. The
program Is sponsored by the
Urban League through a grant

ing applications for the course.
Applications have been received
so far from the League of
Women Voters, the National
Council Of Negro Women, the
Catholic International Council
and the Pleasant Plains Civic
Association, Mr.. Tucker said.
H. Curtis Mial, associate di-
rector of the National Training
Laboratories, said the course is
designed to make leaders more
aware of the people they deal
with and what goes on in their
committees, to give them new
approaches to problem solving,
and to teach them about the
structure of the District COM
munity and government.

Halleck, unavailable for com.
ment yesterday, reported at the
"Ev and Charlie" news confer.
ence last week with Senate Re-
publican Leader Dirksen thai
there was widespread opposi-
ton" in Republican ranks tt
creation of an urban affairs
department.
The main arguments which
those leaders and others have
cited against the proposal are
that it is unnecessary, would
interfere with States rights and
local functions, be too costly
and add to Capitalization oil
power in Washington.
Rules Committee Chairman
Smith, Democrat of Virginia

Wednesday with an announce
ment that he would not delay
committee consideration of any
major bills requested by the
administration. He neverthe-
less is known to oppose the ur-
ban affairs department bill, as
is Representative Colmer, Dem
ocrat of Mississippi, another
member.

support of Mr.. Mccormack fol-
Speaker and Representative Al

coalition than did the late
Speaker Rayburn last year.
An adverse vote by the COM
mittee would prevent the bill
from reaching the House floor
except by the difficult proce-
dure of a discharge petition.
President Kennedy, however,
could issue a reorganization
plan creating a Department of
Urban Affairs and Housing
Such q plan could go into effect
IN so days unless rejected by
either branch OF Congress. A
reorganization move of this
kind would likely cause a bitter
fight on the House floor.
College Aid on Agenda
At its Wednesday session, the
Rules Committee also will con-
slider a bill authorizing a five
year program of matching
grants totaling $3.50 million and
long-term loans totaling $3.50
million annually for colleges
and universities to build class
rooms, laboratories, libraries
and similar facilities. A broader
bill of that kind was blocked by
the Rules Committee last year
because, among other things,
it contained authorization for
Federal funds for scholarships.
The pending bill would apply
to private as well as public
colleges and universities. This
bill is believed to be the only
Federal aid to education legis-
lation that has much Of a
chance of getting through the
Rules Committee and the House
itself this year.
