Cool Weather Arrives
But Power Lines Suffer

Gusty winds and rain squalls
swept cool weather into the
Washington area last night but
knocked out electric power lines
in a wide section Of Montgom-
ery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties in the process.
Several thousand households
were without electricity during
the night but Potomac Electric
Power Co. workers had almost
all service restored by sunrise.
A Pepco spokesman estimated
rs power lines were knocked
down by falling tree limbs and
the strong winds.
The official wind velocity,
measured at National Airport,
was SO miles per hour at about
1880 pm. but unofficial esti-
mates were much higher, par
ticularly north and west Of the
city.
The pattern Of rainfall also
varied widely. The Weather
Bureau measured .38-of-an-
inch at the airport, but the
rain ranged from drenching
downpour in some sections to
only a few sprinkles In others.
The Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. said fewer than
200 Of their customers lost
phone service in the windstorm.

lines on the poles are made of

Although the impact Of the
storm was widespread, the
worst damage was inflicted
over a swath from Potomac,
Nd, through Bethesda, Chevy
Chase, Silver Spring, Rockville,
Gaithersburg, Takoma Park,
College Park, HyattSville and
RlVeruale, Mo.
On the heels Of the storm

For any youngster, summer
camp is an exciting experience.
For 1853 mentally retarded chill
dren from the District, Virginia
and Maryland, it's going to be
something special. y
Starting Sunday, they'll be
cooking out, nature hiking and
running counsellors ragged, In
the customary camp manner,
on 148 acres Of wooded land
west Of Annapolis in Anne
Arundel County, Md.
Their three-week camp, Ken
tan. is made possible by two
$4,000 grants. One is from the
Joseph P. Kennedy jr. Founda-
ton (Ken); the other is from
Civitan International's Chesa-
peake District Foundation for
Mentally Retarded and Handi-
capped Children (Tan).
The campsite itself is being
loaned by the Tri-State Elks
Association.
Camp Kentan is this areas
first and only residential sum-
mer camp for boys and girls
whose limited mental capabil-
ties make constant supervision
necessary.
Camp Director Camille H.
Amy hopes Kentan will bring
the retarded children "the same
kind Of exciting, wonderful ex-
perience that life in the out
of-doors brings to normal kids"
The camp is designed to give
the children group experience
away from home and to con-
tribute to their social growth.
1T will be a relaxed, flexible
program away from the ten
sions Of families that live in
urban and suburban areas"
Mrs. Amy says.
For many parents of children
at the camp, she notes, it will
be the first real vacation away
from the constant RESPONSE
bility of a retarded child. This
is as important a breather for
the parents as 1t is for the
campers" she adds.
While the children will be
doing many of the things that
all youths do at summer camps,
they'll be learning too.
Despite Kentan's informally,
there will be repeated expert
ences-group games, talks and
campfire programs-that will
aim at teaching the children.
They. more than normal chill
dren, have to keep learning in
the summer to avoid forgetting
what they learn in their special
winter classes. Mrs. Amy ex-
plains.
AS for the camp applicants,
educable children-with los in
the so to 70 range-have to be
at least 8 years old; trainable
children-IQs from about 80 to
50-must be nine.
The Northern Virginia As
ISOLATION for Retarded Children
processed the applications. For
those whose parents can't af-
ford the $40 weekly charge for
insurance and supplies there
are 80 "camperships" donated
by veteran and service groups.
Kentan will have children
from points as distant as
southern Virginia and Balti-
more. Forty youngsters from
the District Training School
will form the largest group and
stay all three weeks.
full-time paid and volunteer
staff Of 80 will be aided by 20
more daytime volunteers from
Northern Virginia and Balti-
more. Many OF the volunteers
will be high school and college

Seventeen Democratic Senators have jointly
introduced civil rights bill that they say would go
long way toward ending ugly racial incidents such
as the recent one at Greenwood, Mississippi" The
bill would accept sixth-grade education evidence
of teracy in tests for voting It would permit the
appointment of temporary Federal referees to pass
on voters qualifications, speed up voting cases In
the courts and require election officials to the
same standards In judging all prospective voters.
And now what? This well-intentioned measure
will now go into the hands of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, presided over by James o. Eastland Of
Mississippi, who has become known an ardent foe
of civil rights bills.
Whenever you hear a defense Of the seniority
system of appointing committee chairmen on
some such ground as papa knows best and the old
est the wisest - think of the Senate Judiciary
Committee and Mr.. Eastland. Here Is a committee
that, above all Others ought to be enthusiastically
looking for new ways to enlarge and protect civil
rights. And here Is Mr. Eastland, sitting squarely

Pardon Us Ii
We Seem To Boast

For the past two years and more, these news
papers have been pointing out that much Of the evil
inflicted upon the nation by the Didecrat-Republi
can coalition in Congress could be voded by the
simple expedient Of enforcing the Fourteenth
Amendment.
The Fourteenth Amendment provides full vot-
ing rights and full representation for Negro citizens.
1t also provides that where state fails to honor the
Negroes voting rights its representation in Congress
shall be reduced accordingly In other words state
cannot deny its Negro citizens the right to vote and
at the same time hold power in Congress based on
Negro population The Fourteenth Amendment has
been widely violated in the South, we all know.
At the same time, Congress has ignored its duty and
responsibility in reapporhonng Congressional seats.
We have pointed this out to Congressman, civic
leaders, and the NAACP. Such responses as we have
received have been non-committal. We now quote
from the Washington Window feature produced
weekly by the Washington office of Labor Press
Associates:
In the light Of widespread Southern defiance
of efforts to enforce the right of Negroes to VOTE
Section of the Fourteenth Amendment has sudden
ly assumed new Importance.
The National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People is seeking court test to enforce
it. Senator Patrick Mcnamara, Michigan Democrat,
has introduced bih to implement Section q"
If Section were enforced, the Di1decrats would
lose Is seats in Congress- and with them lot Of the
committee seniority which gives the backward South
such a strange hold legislation. Those rs seats
could the difference between the present stale
mate and strong forward-looking legislative pro-
gram.
We are happy that some important people In
the national scene are now coming around to our
point Of view. We hope that our efforts have had
just little influence with them.

would send his children where there were (a) q
few Negro students (b) about half Negroes, and
(c) mostly Negro. AS the Tribune points out the
proper question would be whether the interviewee
would withdraw his children from such schools. If
you selecting a school for your children there
are many things to consider, and the complexion of
the students is not likely to be Of them.
DR.. Gallup plays fo9Iily upon the notorious fact
that education is of the fields in which Negroes
have been Disseminated against most outrageously
school that is predominantly Negro is very often
poorly housed and poorly stated When people say
they would not send their children to such school
they are probably expressing reaction to this fact
much more than prejudice against Negroes. The
prejudice, If any, Is expressed by these who would
not send their children to school where there were
few Negro students; and the poll actually revealed
very little prejudice here.
DR.. Gallup uses the same trick in his questions
on housing: Would you move If colored people
came to live next door?" In the face Of the great
scare campaigns by real estate interests, only one
in five said they would; another rs per cent said
they might (evidently they would wait and see how
they liked their neighbors.) More than half said
they would not.
Then comes DR.. Gallups foxy trick. What if
great numbers of Negroes moved into the neghbor-
hood? Again he is playing on the exploitation OF
Negroes in housing; playing on the pubics image
Of the Negro ghetto where greedy landlords reap
immense profits from substandard, overcrowded
badly maintained buildings Since Gallup did not
qualify his question, he got response that meant
people prefer not to live in neighborhood that is
decaying. Forty-nine per cent said they would
He'd get the same response from Negroes. The
poll is meaningless.
