Famous West Coast
Publisher Visits
The Twin Towns

Enroute back to Los Angeles,
California after attending the
March on Washington" famed
Leon Washington, publisher Of the
Los Angeles SENTINEL visited
friends in the Twin Cities last
weekend.
Mr.. Washington was accompan-
led by his editor another Wash
ington, the widely known news
man, Chester Washington, who is
editor of the 10000 circulation
SENTINEL.
The publisher and his editor
came TO the Twin Cities on the
same plane as Senator Hubert
Humphrey who Leon Washington
and his paper supported in his
unsuccessful try for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination, in
1860. Washington thinks the Min
nesotan is one Of the nations real
great men.
The publisher renewed friend
ships with several Twin Citians
including a Kansas schoolmate
Joseph Harpole, and DR.. Maurice
Crouch of st. Paul.
Both visitors spent considerable
time with Cecil Newman, local
publisher, longtime friends OF both
men. The Minnesota newspaper
man was i'll during the visit but
the two fellow publishers got to-
gether just the same.
Leon Washington Is credited
with galvanizing the early Negro
population on the Pacific coast to
exercising their voting rights and
using their buying power con-
structively.
Even after a severe illness in
which he suffered a severe stroke
he is still the power" in Los An
geles and in the state.
Chester Washington, native Of
Pittsburgh, formerly worked on
the COURIER at its home base.
He went to the Pacific coast a
number of years ago to manage
the COURIER Pacific coast edi-
ton.
Later he worked five years on
the Los Angeles MIRROR news
staff, the first Negro reporter to
be hired by a Los Angeles daily on
the news staff.

most demonstrators.
Meanwhile, DR.. King, by virtue
Of his being one Of the leaders of
the nationwide civil rights cam
paign, was given a leading role on
the program at the Lincoln Mem
orial Monument here.
He received the largest ovation
OF the 10 speakers who addressed
the throng of more than 100000
persons from throughout the ma
ton.
500 FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
DEMONSTRATE IN HOME BEFoRE
JOINING IN MARCH ON WASH.
Washington (ANP) - Eight
hundred persons from various cit
les in South Carolina were among
the great throng OF some 200, 900
from throughout the nation.
Before coming here on special
train and in a long motorcade,
South Carolinians staged demon
Strations in several cities as they
passed through the state. They
consisted of prayer meetings and
rallies at the train stations.

PARTICIPATE IN

Washington (ANP) - A total
Of 1000 persons, who came here
in % buses carrying 40 persons
each and 240 automobiles averag-
ing five passengers each, repre-
sented North Carolina in the his
toric March.
Leading the North Carolina
delegation, consisting of persons
mostly from cities in the eastern
and central sections of the state,
was Floyd McKissick of Durham,
a member of the national execu-
tive march committee.
MARcHERS TOO BUSY TO
NOTE TINE CHANGES
IN WASHINGTON RAcIALLY
Washington (ANP) - Negroes
who came here for the March on
Washington last week had a
chance to put the new" Washing
ton to a test, but very few had
the time.
Washington has long had a rep
utation as "a cracker town" on
the borderEne between North and
South. Ten years ago its schools
were as segregated as those in
Mississippi - and by design. And
though signs weren't so large nor
so many, a Negro was more apt
to be rejected that accepted at a
restaurant, hotel, movie house,
lunch counter or soda fountain.
Taxi cabs normally passed up Ne
groes.
But today things are different
and the word has gone forth.
The schools while segregated are
at least not so by policy, since
the number of cOlOred pupils
outweights the whites. The sys-
tenn has been officially integral
ed since 1854.
Negroes now also enjoy easy ac-
cess to places of public accommo-
dations. In fact to refuse service
is a crime under DC. law.

SURE NE SAW WHITE HOUSE
Washington (ANP)-The March
provided thousands of persons with
their first chance TO see the ma
tion's capital, but they had little
time for sight seeing.
One was 81 year old Henry
Hughes of Birmingham who ar
rived here on one of the six spec
ial buses carrying an Alabama
delegation of about 300.
Informed he was 753 miles from
home, Hughes shook his head and
admitted he had never been 50 far
away before.
He said he saw so many huge
white buildings from his bus win
dow and while walking about that
he wasn't sure If he saw the White
House which he had especially
wanted to see.
Asked If he were tired after a
trying day, most of which he spent
on his feet, he said mo I've work
ed hard all my life, so I'm pretty
strong man even at my age. I've
worked for IL hours at stretch,
SO Just standing around and walk
ing wasn't any hardship"
He admitted, however, that he
might spend most of the 20 hours
required for the return trip snooz-
ing.

Paintings Reduce
Wind-Borne Dirt

Efficient paintings along
roadsides can help greatly in
hating drift of soils in the
area, as well as provide q bar
rier to surface dust storms.
The ability of the wind to
pick up and carry loose soil
varies as the square of its We
locity. Thus a 40-mile-per-hour
wind has about four times as
much power to pick up soil as
a 20-mile-per-hour wind. When
a 40-mile-per-hour wind is re-
duced to 20 miles per hour its
carrying capacity is reduced to
one fourth and the other three
fourthS of the soil is deposited
on the ground.
Paintings of trees and shrubs
cut down on the wind velocity
and at the same time beautify
roadside areas.

Shrubs Can Screen Off
Unwunted, Drub Views

in such a way that any unde-
sirable view may be screened
out.
For all-year screening, ever
green trees and shrubs may be
used. These of course keep their
foliage all year long. There Il
no reason why any family in
the United States cannot have
the comfort and shade afforded
by trees and shrubs. Flowers
are available, too, by planting
a few shrubs like roses, camel
lias and many other shrub
flowers that are adapted to
your local climate. A Towering
tree adds beauty and pleasure
while it also can be planted to
screen out poor views.
With ingenuity and the ad-
vice of a good nurseryman,
many tips on screening and
privacy can be obtained. Some
plants are good for screening
and others are not. The right
advice for your particular To-
cation is valuable If you don't
want to wait for the plant To
grow only to find it doesn't
suit your purpose. It's better
to start out right with the right
plants.

Iris Borer

When the iris foliage is 6 to
8 inches in height the plants
may be sprayed with dimethoate
to control the iris borer. This
is a new method and is much
less of a chore than spraying
with DOT every 10 days to two
weeks from early May until
mid-June or early July. How
ever, the DOT is much less
expensive and, If you use a
suitable "sticker" that will hold
the DOT onto the waxy foliage,
this will give reasonably good
control.
