When Attorney-General Robert
Kennedy spoke to the National
Newspaper Publishers convention
last Friday night, he quoted the
late famed T. Thomas Fortune,
militant editor of the New York
Age who said Of the Negro press:
Some people declare that
colored newspapers are a nuis-
ance; and so they are, in a
measure, just as the colored
people are a nuisance, in so
far as they have a grievance
which they persistently OBJ
trude upon the notice Of others,
who either have no such
grievances themselves, or do
not wish to be reminded of the
fact that they have one. AS
long, however, as men are
struck, they will cry out in
protest or indignation until
the wrongs are avenged"

Bathrooms

The first fixed bath tub was installed in the White
House in 1851
This was four years before Thomas Somerville,
ST. landed in Baltimore, Maryland, after crossing
from his native Edinburgh Scotland. 1t was ten years
before he quit his job "finsher at the Washing
ton Navy Yard, to 60 into business for himself This
business was to flourish for hundred years, under
the management of Somerville's and grandsons.
In 1851 ThoS Somervile Co. could account for sup
plying bath tubs heating equipment and other plumb
ing items to the builders of thousands of homes in
the national capital area and to contractors respons
IDLE for contribution of dozens upon dozens of Federal
Government and private commercial office buildings

Bathrooms were in use in the more sophisticated
metropolis of Boston in the early 184Os 1t is recorded
however, that in 104S, the Massachusetts, capital
became alarmed the extravagant waste Of water
through the of bath tubs and laws were passed
against their use.
At the beginning Of the Nineteenth Century there
was general prejudice against bathrooms in private
dwellings for other than of excessive water
consumption This objection was probably occasioned
by the Inconvenience and unsightliness Of tub in
side house. At any rate, it was not quite nice, and
really respectable people did not possess one.
In those days a bathing house" was a separate
structure in the garden back yard. This yielded
little by little to the newfanged fashion of bathing
room at the rearmost and least conspicuous part of
the house Into this went bathing tub an elongated
oval in shape about feet long by two and half

Somerville, in all probability knew the Van Ness

with running water. As far back 1920, pipes had
been installed in the mansion to bring in water from
wells on the grounds.
In 1880, in his Historical Sketches of the Ten

house: every bedroom had hot and cold running
water-the first dwelling in the Union with these

81 Million Hoard
OF Bogus Bills
Found in Brooklyn

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (AP).-
Secret Service agents and city
detectives have seized a hoard
OF So million in counterfeit $40
bills in the basement of a
Brooklyn Apartment house.
But they haven't found the
plates used to print them. Five
different plates apparently were
used, because five different
Federal Reserve district mark
ings were on the bills.
One man was arrested in the
raid last night in the Bath
Beach section, for many years
a favorite dumping ground for
gangland's corpses.
Authorities said the prisoner,
Joseph Maggie, IS, a resident
Of the apartment house and a
utility company service man,
was not important in the coun-
terfeit operation. He was silent
under questioning. The Secret
Service said he had been under
surveillance for three months.
The counterfeit money-all
new and described as not ex-
ceptional in quality - was
crammed in three S,litcaSes and
two large cartons. The raiders
said the containers were N a
basement storage bin assigned
to Maggie.
A Secret Service spokesman
said that for four months there
has been an unusually heavy
run of counterfeit $40 bills in
the New York area. The amount
passed ranged from $4,000 to
$4,000 weekly, he said.

Red Commander Tries
To Defy u. S. Zone Ban

| BERLIN, Feb. 8 (AP} THE
Soviet commandant In Berlin
attempted to enter the Ameri-
can sector today in defiance OF
a United States ban. He turned
back when United States mill
tary police asked him to iden-
tify himself.
The commandant, Col. An
drei I. Solovyev, was on his
way to the British sector to
keep an appointment and could
have entered the British sector
directly-and was urged to dc
so by the British-but chose
to test the American ban.
He appeared at the Fried
richStrasse crossing point in
the United States sector, des-
ignated by the East Germans
as the only crossing point
through Berlin's wall for for
eignerS.
Had he crossed at any other
point he would have been show
ing disrespect for the DEGREES
Of the East German regime
which the Russians claim is
a sovereign state.
Banned Since December
Col. Solovyev has been banned
from the American sector since
December %.
At that time the United
States commandant, Maj. Gen.
Albert Watson II, turned back
from an effort to enter the
Soviet zone because East Ger
man guards insisted for the
first time that his civilian ad-
viSers identify themselves.
A British spokesman said Col.
Solovyev was coming to British
headquarters for an appoint
ment he requested yesterday,
presumably to deliver the. Soviet
reply to an allied proposal to
end the impasse between him
and Gen. Watson.

EUROPE LEADERS
TO BE HOSTS

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy will be received by the
Pope and the Queen of the
Netherlands, confer with Ger
man Chancellor Adenauer and
dine with West Berlin's Mayor
Willy Brandt during the second
half Of his world tour.
These prospects were dis
closed yesterday when the State
Department announced his itin-
erary in Europe.
Mr.. Kennedy begins the
European half of his tour in
Rome. where he will arrive on
the morning Of February 20.
He is scheduled to arrive in
West Berlin February %. On
February rs, he will be received
by Queen Juliana of the Meth
erlandS.
The State Department re-
Jected yesterday a Republican
CongreSsman's portrayal of Mr..
Kennedy as a bungling anna
teur diplomat meddling in for
eign affairs.
On the contrary, Press Off
Ger Lincoln White said that
Secretary of State Rusk had
urged the Presidents brother
to undertake his current round
the-world trip. The youthful
Attorney General is "eminently
qualified to handle dis
cussions with other government
officials" on specific matters,
Mr.. White said.
This was the State Depart
ment's public reply to Repre-
sentative Lindsay, Republican
of New York, who termed Mr..
Kennedy unframed and with
out background" in the business
of diplomacy. Mr.. Lindsay sent
a letter to Mr.. Rusk asking
whether the Secretary of State
should be either burdened or
embarrassed by free-wheeling
foreign missions on the part of
highly placed amateurs"

ABOARD THE SIS FRANCE
New York Harbor. Feb. Cay
and flirtatious, but with the
dignity of a grande dame, the
SIS France has opened a new
and probably the last-era in
fabulous luxury liners.
Greeted by an almost-un-
equaled fanfare of tug boats
water-spouting fireboats and
overhead helicopter flights yes,
terday, the France and hNr
1,727 passengers received New
York's traditional welcome to
maritime achievements. l.
What a pity fireboats CAM
throw confetti.
Formidable, yet petite, the
vivaciouS vessel made her tri-
umphant voyage entry into
New York Harbor and up the
Hudson to pier 88, promptly on
schedule despite a mid-AtlantiC
storm which piled waves up to
As feet.
Rated as Gamble
The France has been called a
maritime gamble. The New
York welcome attained it's fer
vor because experts are saying
this is the last of che big
luxury liners" Air competition
may be spelling the doom of the
tabled ocean liner of the
Frances magnitude.
Yet, canvassing travel friends
there appears to be more than
enough preferring surface travel
who can keep the Frances posh
