Second thoughts all around
left Karl D. Gregory still chair
man of the local housing COM
mittee of the Congress OF
Racial Equality today.
Mr.. Gregory was abruptly
dismissed yesterday by the
CORE regional chairman, Julius
w. Hobson, for issuing "un-
authorized" press releases about
an investigation of alleged
discrimination on the part o.
Washington area home builders
Mr.. Gregory in turn an.
nounced that he was resignine
from the committee chairman
ship.
Actions ReScinded
Today both the dismissal and
the resignation were rescinded
Mr.. Hobson said that CORE
still had confidence in Mr.
Gregory and that the latter
had agreed not to issue any
press statements without proper
clearance.
Then, after a meeting, the
two leaders issued a Joint press
release giving CORES official
view of the whole affair. The
controversy arose when The
Star disclosed yesterday that
John Woodland. ST., sales man
ager at Marumsco Hills in
Woodbridge, Va, had sold a
home to 3 Negro couple a short
time before the arrival of CORE

THE SLIDES STARTED

Francis Hammond, a hand
some bluejacket with blond,
curly hair and three slashes
on his sleeve showing that
he had become a PHARMACISTS

Then came the movies
showing the cold, barren
hills of the 38th Parallel,
the worthless territory whose
possession cost so many lives.
They fought all night. The
40-man platoon that Ham
mond was serving was at
tackled by 200 Chinese. Only
five Marines were un-
wounded. Hammond was
knocked down by machine
gun fire but got up.
In the language Of the
citation, although critically
wounded he continued to ad-
minister aid to the other
wounded.
When the unit was ordered
withdrawn, he skillfully
directed the evacuation Of
casualties and remained in
the fire-swept area to assist
the corpsmen Of the relieving
unit until he was struck by
a round of enemy mortar

The
Rambler
SuIutes Hero
Of Forgotten War
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Francis c. Hammond was a
young Navy Medical Corps
man from Alexandria killed
in one of the last big battles
of the Korean War and post
humouSly awarded the Medal
of Honor.
Alexandrla'S big 1890
pupils, new Give years old
high school on the hill where
Seminary road crosses the
Shirley highway is named
after him.
The first assembly of the
school year for freshmen and
new students is held in his
honor.
To the ringing of bells in
the Railways at 9 am. Mon
day the students trooped
into the 1268-seat audito-
rum, a handsome theater
with stage and balcony, boys
with their hair combed, faces
shiny, in vari-colored shirts
and trousers; girls with
modest makeup and hairdo
in blouSeS and skirts, all
young "a for the most part)
and just on the threshold of
final growth.
In front was the Apiece
Marine Corps Drum and
Bugle Corps in scarlet tunicS
which was soon playing
STARS and Stripes Forever"
with ear-piercing loudness.
James Lockhart, a senior
and president of the Student
Cooperative Association, led
the salute to the flag and
introduced the principal, H.
Alton McKann, a big man
with a deep Virginia accent
(he'S from Henrico County,,
who introduced Col. E. B.
Wheeler (USMC) as execu-
tive officer of the 5th
Marines, the regiment young
Hammond was serving when
he was killed in February,
1858.
Col. Wheeler, tall, slender,
erect and very military look
ing in his dress blues and
ribbons for the island cam
paignS and the Korean bat
ties, then gave a lecture il

1T WOULD BE WELL If
everyone could see those
movies and be reminded Of
that forgotten war which
they weren't even going to
dignity by calling a war
although our battle deaths
were almost as great as those
of World War I $4,000 to
$4,000.
The war that came as
such a surprise on a summer
Sunday 10 years ago-al-
ways on a Sunday. The war
which we feared was only a
feint that would start the
elite of Stains 200 divisions
marching to the English
Channel. The war that
caused us to build airfieldS
for our A-bomb carrying
planes in Morocco, in Eritrea
and Saudi Arabia and else
where. The war that hiked
our taxes higher than pre-
viouS wars had ever done.
Col. Wheeler explained to
the students that the Marine
Corps has no medical service.
That is supplied by the Navy.
Francis Hammond, who was
10 years old when the bombs
dropped on Pearl Harbor,
who was graduated from
George Washington High
School in Alexandria in 1851,
Joined the Navy and was as
signed to the Medical Corps.
He arrived in Korea late
in 1858. The cease fire came
in May of that year. He was
assigned to accompany a
platoon OF about 40 Marines.

Longer Delay
On Welfare
Post Due

Commissioner John B. Dun
can said today that he would
make a recommendation after
80 days on who should fill the
long-vacant position of Dis
trict welfare director.
He said there were two main
prospects for the job. One,
he said, is Donald Brewer,
who has been acting director
of the department since &C.
rard Shea stepped down last
February.
Mr.. Duncan declined to give
any hint about the identity
of the other prospect.
Hearings Awaited
The appointment is being
deferred for 80 days so that
it can be made after the Sen
ate District Appropriations
Subcommittee completes its
hearings on the city's budget
for fiscal 1864.
Mr.. Duncan said he thought
it would be unfair to bring
in a new director just as the
budget hearings are about to
begin. He also said that the
hearings would give Mr..
Brewer the opportunity to
demonstrate whether he had
been doing a satisfactory job
as acting director.
Senator Byrd, Democrat of
West Virginia, who is chair
man of the Appropriations
subcommittee, is expected to
devote his attention to the
welfare budget and to deter
mining what progress has been
made in improving admins
tration of the program.
Ex-Chief Shifted
Disclosures that a substan-
tial number of persons receiv-
ing welfare assistance were in
eligible and that there had
been abuses in the surplus food
distribution program led Mr..
Shea to ask for his shift from
the directors job to the sub
ordinate post of administrator
of District welfare institutions.
Senator Byrd, who spanked
the investigation that revealed
the departments shortcomings,
has said publicly that he has
been favorably impressed with
the job Mr.. Brewer is doing.
Despite the support Senator
Byrd has expressed for Mr..
Brewer, it is not absolutely
certain that he will get the
job.
There is a feeling at the Dis
trict Building that Senator
Byrd by his open support of
Mr.. Brewer has encroached on
an appointment area that
should be reserved to the Com
missioners alone. The Sena-
tors position has caused some
resentment.
