(SpeciaD "A belligerent eagle,
mounted momentarily on the
head of George Wroten, will
soon be counted on a more per-

Of his home.
Mr.. Wroten and O'Neil In
Sley killed the bird, whose
Widespread measured 61a feet,
after it swooped upon them as
they stood in q duck blind
near Farm Creek Pond here,
IT felt somethin' on my
head" said Mr.. Wroten. a 30
year-old construction worker,
land dove for the back Of the
shelter"
At the same time his hunting
partner took a roundhouSe
swing at the bird with his
rifle. The eagle flew off, clutch
ing Mr.. Wroten's leather cap
in its talons.
1T flew out about so or so
feet and then spun around
like it was comm back" Mr..
Wroten said. That's when we
shot at it."
The gunfire knocked the As
pound bird out of the air and
they killed it with a boat pad

The hunters retrieved the
tattered cap, assured them
selves they we're unhurt, then
calmy went about shooting

Under consideration by this
group as candidates for Demo-

and committeewoman are Jesse

c. Chamber Of Commerce, and
Mrs. Joy Simonson. former
president of the District League

However, q spokesman fol-
the insurgents said his group is
not formally organized yet and
that no firm commitments
have been made by anyone.
He said the insurgents will
issue a statement in the next
few weeks explaining what
they regard as the issues in the
anticipated battle among local
Democrats. One charge will be
that the present Democratic
leadership has not exerted
enough leadership in city
affairs.
Frank D. Reeves. the present
Democratic national commit
teeman, said that he will not
decide whether to seek re-
election until after January l.
He said he welcomed any
contest that may develop
because competition will help
stimulate registration and

dent, support for the Demo-
cratic Party in the Negro
community here has been
fading away.
Mr.. Shipley said Republicans
now feel that they have an
excellent chance Of capturing
the Presidency.
He said the local Republican
Party is going to rent the
second floor Of the Security
Building at 729 Fifteenth

headquarters, which will be
opened January /.
Mr.. Shipley also said the
District Republicans will open

ethnic groups here and will
have a sign saying vote Repu-

Chinese and Arabic.
Absentee Headquarters
At the same time, he said,
the Republicans will continue
to maintain an absentee voters
headquarters at 1925 I street,
NV, and an area headquart-
ers at 1920 U street NV.
Mr.. Shipley said there will
probably be several competing
states of candidates here for
election as delegates to the
Republican national conven-

nothing to stop various groups
from passing out sample ballots
identifying themselves as
supporters of individual can
dates.
Meanwhile, in the District
Democratic Party an opposition
group is still making plans to
wrest control of the Democrat

held.
The Republican chairman

FROM ALL OVER the world
and from many periods Of
time, Mr.. Halprin has Sc
lected eloquent pictures
showing the diversity OF
things an attractive city is
composed of-the profuSion
of streets, plazas, water
fronts, the common gardens,
the private Ravens, the
lights, benches, signs and
symbols, the doors and en-
frances and drinking foun-
tains, the pebbles, cobbles,
steps, ramps, bollards, fences
and walls, the views and Wis
tas, the quiet rivuletS and
gushing waters, the people
and the pigeons. :.
You can look through the
authors camera at sharply
defined images-the empty
square in front Of Venice's
St. Marks Cathedral, for ex-
ample that Napoleon once
called the most beautiful
drawing room in Europe:
ut was cold and foggy and
the top of the Campanile
barely showed sunlit above
the low-hanging sea mist.
The tide was in, and the
black and white stones Of
the intricately laid pavement
were covered with a thin
film of water.
There was no Sound-no
automobile exhausts, no
buses. Absolute quiet in the
very heart Of a great city.
I'm the distance you could
hear family some young peo-
pie singing.
"All Of a sudden the air
became dark with birds, the
square filled with the beat
ing Of thousands Of wings,
the noise increased and in
creased until it was deafen-
ing, and the deserted square
became absolutely filled with
pigeons.
THE noise was incredible
even frightening. They had
come to feed, and when they
had finished, they left just
as quickly, and the great
square was empty and quiet
again. "
There is a word-picture Of
a part Of a city. The word
less ones in this book are
equally eloquent.

An Eloquent
Picture Book
BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS

VoU NEED PICTURES to
say some things. Other
wise the story never is really
told.
Viewed in this way, visual
art is another language, and
photography its most accu-
rately expressive vocabulary.
A picture book can be elo-
quent without saying a word.
A book Of photographs can
be more precise, explicit and
all-encompasSing than a bril-
liant lawyers brief.
One such book was pub
ished the other day. 1t was
so refreshing to- discover 1t
among the weller Of turgid
tones that pretend to deal
with the art of building cities
that one can only express
regret, at the outset, that its
