For Alexandra Negroes

The Alexandria Council on
Human Relations has asked
the city's Redevelopment and
Housing Authority to build 100
low-rental apartments for Ne
groes as a pilot project toward
the solution Of limited Negro
housing in the community.
In a fact sheet" which the
council is distributing to 300
city officials and other leading
residents, the council charges
private enterprise with neglect
ing the Negro housing situation
while municipal improvement
programs continue to displace
families.
Mrs. George A. Eddy and re-
tired Army Col. Marion I. John
son, the president and vice
president Of the Human Rela
tions Council, said about IL
acres OF vacant land In the
relatively undeveloped western
area Of the city could be used
for apartments for low and
middle income Negro families.

Alexandria has no apart

Negroes" Col. johnson said
Most Negroes must live in sub
standard houses and pay $50

utilities"
The homes are often so de-
teriorated, he said. that fuel
bills total s65 10 $40 a month
That's more than pay a

BY WILLIAM DUKE
Star staff Writer

Leaders of the Metropolitan
Council of Governments fer.
vently wooed an aloof Mont.
gomery County Council yester-
day, 1t was an apparent case
of unrequited love.
The county's political leader.
last week said they intended tc
withdraw financial support
from the metro agency, but Of
fered metro supporters one
more chance to plead Their
case.
Yesterday, Brig. Gen. Freder-
ick j. Clarke, District Engineer
Commissioner and chairman OF
the Metropolitan Council, came
courting to Rockville accompa-
MED by Virginia State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick, Fairfax
County, Va Supervisor Anr
wilkins and Samuel Humes, ex-
ecutive director.
They were asked a battery
Of questions and left with nc
indication that their trip hao
been a success.
After half an hours sitting
at a small table before the sew
en- councilmen and their -four
aides, Gen. Clarke said he felt
as If I'D been before a con-
gressional committee"
S23,4OO at Stake
This is worse than a con-
gressional committee" said his
host. John A. Floyd, president
OF the Montgomery council.
At issue was the $23, 400 men,
bership contribution the area
council has asked Montgomery
to make. The Republican bloc
controlling the county body
does not feel the Council of
Governments does enough to
Justify this expense. The cost
figure was not mentioned yes
terday.
During the session, metro Of
ficials fielded questions about
the role of their agency in
planning, that several Of its
studies duplicate local tasks and
brushed with the claim that
the metro council is a forerun-
ner Of supergovernment.
Nobody believes in States
rights more than l do" retort-
ed the Virginia Senator. "The
concept behind (the metro
counciD is to prevent super
government to prevent Fed
eral control to preserve
local government by allowing
locally elected officials to do
something before the cry comes
for a supermetropolitan govern
ment."
Limited Influence
But how much will the Fed
eral Government become in
volved with the Council OF
Governments?" asked DR.
Thomas M. Wilson. Federal
funds generally mean Federal
control and now Mr.. (Charles)
Horsky presidential adviser on
Metropolitan Area affairs has
become involved"
THE Federal Government
and Mr.. Horsky," said Senator
Fenwick, will have no more
influence on us than we let
them"
Mr.. Floyd wanted to know
why the metro council plans to
spend $26,50O on a transit study
when there are several current
studies by other agencies which
have not yet been put into
force.
Some $4,000 of that fig
ure," said the Virginia Sena-
tor. will go to draft an in
terstate compact to operate
the transit system after it's in
operation, instead of letting a
Federal agency take it over"
The remainder of the money
will go to the Traffic Safety

ASK DOROTHY DRAPER
Let Halloween
Color Your Life

If you live in the country
by this time you no doubt
have seen a jolly fat pumpkin
face grinning at you from
every doorstep waiting for
Halloween. If you live in the
city, every window reminds
you that it is THAT time Of
year.
Let's see how we can cele-
brate Halloween in a house
without a witch, q broom or
a hobgoblin! We can do it
with color. Take the pump
kin, for instance-the jack
o'-lantern insignia for Hal
loween. Think about that
mellow, yet alive pumpkin
color and the lush green Of
its sprawling leaves. Then re-
member the spanking-white
gourd that appears next to
pumpkins in a garden. There
is your color scheme!
Paint the walls pumpkin
color dts very good this year,
even without Halloween.
Furniture could be covered in
the vine-green of the pumpkin
leaves. Plain textured for the
most part, but with q couple
of chairs in a spirited pump
kin, green and white print.
which would also make a
daShing curtain ensemble.
Rug could be a washable white
or green.
All accessories should be in
the gourd-white. Then cas-
ually place q larkSpur blue
vase or cigarette box in q
strategic point just to break
up our vegetable" garden eff
feet and bring q bit Of the
flower garden into it.
Or another idea might be
to make the walls gourd-
white, use the same idea as
above for curtains, rug and
the two chairs. and cover the
rest of the furniture in the
ripe pumpkin color.
Or think Of that wonder
full wheat color of the dried
cornstalks that guard the
pumpkin patch in the garden.
Do a complete room in this
color with accents Of the
inimitable blue of an october
sky.
Let Natures Halloween
color chart be your guide and
no "hobgoblin" mistakes will
dare to intrude.

ACCA Gets Funds

SOLDOTNA - The Soldotna Trim Club has disbanded but be- fore doing so the members voted to donate the money in the clubs treasury, s1O0, to the Kenai Area Chapter of the Alaska Crippled Children's Assoc.
 This donation will be used with other funds in helping pay for services of a speech and hearing therapist. Many of the children receiving this service through work of the local ACCA chapter might not be able to secure the treatments if they had to depend upon travelling long distance to a therapist.
 More active members are need ed to give their time to carry out the work of the area organiza- tion. Fran Osmar of Clam Gulch is currently heading the Kenai Area Chapter as it's president.
