C&O Park
Bill Stalled
lnCommittee

A Senate-passed bill to
create a Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal. national historical park
has not budged since it was
sent to the House early last
August.
But Representative Ruther-
ford, Democrat of Texas,
chairman of a House Interior
subcommittee on National
Parks, denies the bill is in any
trouble.
He said legislation has piled
up on the subcommittee and it
has not had a chance to get
around to holding hearings on
the bill.
There are more important
matters before this subcom-
mittee," Mr.. Rutherford said
"You certainly can't call the
C&O bill an emergency"
The Congressman said he
could not estimate when hear
ings would be held.
The bill passed by the Senate
authorizes Federal purchase of
10000 acres of land along the
canal in addition to the 4,80O
acres comprising a national
monument designated by for
mer President Eisenhower.
The Senate bill was written
by Senator Beall, Republican
of Maryland.
In the House, the idea is be-
ing pushed gingerly by Repre-
sentative Matthias, also a Re-
publican.
During the terms Of two of
his predecessors-former Rep
resentatives Hyde and Foley
the bill died.
But since then the two most
controversial sections of the
previous bills have been re-
moved. One was the authorize
ton of a parkway through the
proposed park and the other
was a ban on any construction
of a water supply dam within
the park.
The pending bill contains g
proviso which authorizes pub.
lie non-park uses when such
uses shall have been found ir
consideration of the public in
terest." This is regarded as 8
protection for future dam con.
IStruction.

Restoration Of Cuts
In Welfare Studied
Compromise
Seeks Aid for
Big Families
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

A compromise proposal on
restoration Of the Districts
controversial relief check cuts
to large families is under study
by city officials.
The plan Is to ask Congress
to restore the welfare grant
reductions to the larger fam
lilies, but to let the cuts to the
smaller families stand.
The Commissioners ordered
the cuts, effective last Novem-
Der /, in checks to about 2,450
families. The action was taken
under pressure from Senator
Byrd, Democrat of West Vir-
ginia, to find savings in the
city's welfare operations.
The reduction was on
monthly grants in the aid-to-
dependent = children category.
The order called for a reduce
ton of 50 a month to a family
with four children and 81 more
for each additional child.
Families with fewer than four
children were not affected.
Meanwhile, it was reported
that the Welfare Departments
special investigators turned up
a comparatively low percentage
OF welfare cheaters on spot
checks made last month. These
reports now are to be reviewed
by an advisory committee fe-
fore being submitted to Senator
Byrd.
The special investigative
team found that II of 20 cases
checked late last year were
ineligible for welfare.
Hinge on Harm
Senator Byrd, who heads the
Senate Appropriations subcom-
mittee on District appropria-
tions, has said he would go
along with reservations of re-
lief cuts if it is shown that the
cuts harm the family.
The Senator has said he
doesn't believe the cuts lin the
overwhelming majority Of cases
were unwiSe."
The proposal now being con-
sidered by District officials Is
to ask Congress to vote back
the heavier welfare ch9ck cuts.
It is considered likely that
this cutoff point will be for
reduction of So or SO q month.
It was not certain whether the
PROPOSAL would be pushed for
this fiscal year or next.
The Districts proposed bud
get for the fiscal period be-
ginning next July l was sent
to Congress last month. There
was no money earmarked for
reservations.
Revenue Bill Due
A revenue bill for the city is
expected to pass this month,
however, which will provide
extra money for projects the
city had to shelve in order to
present a balanced budget.
Of 2,441 families whose
checks were cut, 910 were re-
duced by only 50 a month.
There were 635 families cut So,
and 800 cut by $40 a month.
For three families, the re-
duction was $34; for two, $38.
and for one. $42.
The Welfare Department now
is conducting a study Of the
impact of the cuts on the
families.

200 Freedom Riders
Return to Chestertown

The demonstrators made an
other attempt today to get
service at Buds, but were
stopped at the door by the pro-
prietor who would not let them
in.
State police told the demon
strators that they could picket
at the edge of the highway
outside the restaurant and
about a dozen marched up and
down with placards protesting
segregation.
About 200 spectators gath
cred, some curious, and others
shouting angrily at the demon
strators. Police walked through
the crowds with police dogs at
their side. One bystander NUT
tered, "Nothin's gonna happen,
there's too many cops and no.
body wants to get bit"
A few snowballs were thrown
at the picketers.
Across the street from Buds,
demonstrators tried to get
service at Lombardo's Restau-
rant. About 10 Of them sat
down in booths but left when
the proprietor. John Lombardo,
warned he would swear out a
trespass warrant.
Mr.. Lombardo told a re-
porter later that IF I served
colored I would be out Of bust
ness in a month"
State police lined the high
way in front Of the two restau-
rants and kept the stream of
traffic moving.
About 200 demonstrators ar
rived by bus and car today in
this farm food processing
fishing county near the north
ern end of the Eastern Shore.
Demonstrators also visited
Cambridge and Easton.
It was the second time the
Freedom Riders have hit
Chestertown in Kent County in
their campaign to break down
racial barriers on the Eastern
Shore which holds strongly to
the southern-like traditions. It
was the eighth week demon
stratorS have visited the shore.
The out-of town demonstra-
tors were augmented by a
handful of local Negroes and
about 20 students from Wash
ington College located at Ches-
tertown. -Four professors from
the college - where George
Washington laid the corner
stone-were among the group,
as well as a professor from
American University, Daniel
Berman.
Half Were White
Most of the demonstrators,
about half of whom were white,
are college students from Phil
adelphia, New York, Connecti-
cut and Baltimore. The leaders
were Phillip Savage, regional
director for the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement
Of Colored People and Clarence
Logan, head Of the Civic Inter-
est Group of Baltimore.
Meeting at a local Negro
church, the demonstrators were
told by Mr.. Savage not to re-
taliate if they met any violence.
Groups were sent to six res
taurants, two drugstores, a
movie house and a bowling al
ley.
Police said they would remain
IN town until the demonStra-
tons were over.
Like most Of the Eastern
Shore, Kent County maintains
a tradition of racial segrega-
ton. Although white schools
ostensibly are open 10 Negroes,
no Negro has applied. Negroes
are not served in any of the
white restaurants.
Everybody was happy and
contented until outsiders stirred
things up," Mayor Wilmer said.
An unsuccessful attempt was
made by one of the Washington
College students, Winston Sims,
10 get the Mayor, church lead
ers, demonstration leaders and
restaurant owners together. !.

Speed-Up

CINCINNATI, Ohio. April 4
(AP).-The United States
Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit,
yesterday rejected a grade-a-
year school integration pro-
gram proposed by Knoxville.
Tenn, and ordered a speedup
in the program.
United States District Judge
Robert L. Taylor of the Eastern
Tennessee district had ap-
proved the program by which
the Knoxville School Board
planned to integrate the schools
at the rate of a grade a year.
The Court of Appeals ruled
yesterday that it was not its
intention Ito require immedi-
ate total desegregation."
1--WE do believe, however" the
court said, that more grades
than contemplated by the
boards plan should now be de-
segregated.
"In the light of the boards
experience with the present
plan, it should be enabled to
submit an amended plan that
will accelerate desegregation
and more nearly comply with the
mandate of the Supreme Court
for good faith compliance at
the earliest practicable date"
The Appeals Court remanded
the case to the District Court
with instructions to require the
school board to submit an ac-
celebrated program of desegre-
cation.

Searchers planned today to
probe fallen floors and wrecked
inner walls and gambling equip
ment for possible victims of a
fire which yesterday destroyed
the newly remodeled New
Golden Hotel in the down.

The fire lasted 10 hours.
The death toll couldn't be
determined until wrecking crews
topple dangerously weakened
walls and clear out the wreck
age.
Authorities said an unidenti-
fled middle-aged woman was
known to have perished in the
blaze.
Twenty-one persons still
were unaccounted for this
morning after two called tenn
porary hotel headquarters at
the Reno police station from
their out-of-state homes last
night.
Some Feared Trapped
"It doesn't take much smoke
to kill and there's a hell of a
lot of 1t in that building" a
fire chief said, fearing some
of the guests had been trapped
in the four-story building. Sew
enteen persons were injured.
Firemen sprayed the ruins
during the night.
But as soon as the fire was
out, business resumed its usual
hectic pace at gambling palaces
just across an alley from the
hotel. Some neighboring build
ings were damaged in the area
on Center street, Just off Vir-
ginia street and separated from
the largest casinos by Douglas
Alley.
The fire broke out yesterday
morning, apparently from an
exploding basement boiler or
acetylene tank. A Forest Serv-
ice plane bombed the building
with a fire-retardant solution
after five hours, but the hotel
continued to burn.
