HAMS POINT DEVoTEE
Frankfurter Reminisces
BY THADDEUS FOOTE
Star Staff Writer

Retired Justice Felix Frank
furter squinted into the wind
whipping across Hams Point.
His nurse, Miss Margaret
MacKay, waited quietly as the
old man shifted slightly in the
wheelchair.
Suddenly the blue eyes, their
fire undimmed by dark lenses
attached to the famous pince-
nez, snapped back to the ques-
toner.
"Is that what they say?" de-
manded the intense voice which
for % years had cracked like
electricity from the bench of
the Supreme Court.
"They say Warren runs the
court?"
He paused, looked slowly
back at the white-flecked water
of the Potomac river.
Thomas easley, Justice
Frankfurter's messenger since
1889 when President Roosevelt
appointed him to the court,
pushed the wheelchair a few
feet up the walkway.
Mine free men, appointed by
the President of the United
Staes, they run the court-no
one else"
The words are clipped, pre-
else. But the emotion which
has flared for 80 years was
there, vibrating in the sun as
it had throughout a stormy
but brilliant career.
Incapacitated last year by a
stroke which forced him to re-
tire from the Supreme Court,
Justice Frankfurter has con-
tinued his long hobby of visit
ing Hams Point.
Il used to walk with Lord
Halifax here" he recalled. HE
was six feet five or so-sort of
hard to keep up"
Every day that the weather
is nice, he goes to Hams Point,
as he did yesterday. He used
to walk there with another
friend, former Secretary of
State Acheson.

Bonn Seeking
NAT0 Voice
On Red Pacts
Germans Believe
Big Powers Are
Ignoring Them

BONN. Germany, Aug. II
(AP) .-Angered by the big
power handling of the limited
nuclear test ban treaty, West
Germany moved today to have
any further proposed discus
sions with the Soviet Union
aired in the North Atlantic
Council-where the Bonn gov
eminent has a voice.
A foreign ministry spokes-
man said Bonn asked the
United States to take the step
following talks at the Geneva
disarmament conference about
stationing ground observation
posts in Western and Commu-
mist countries to guard against
surprise attacks.
The Atlantic Council, COM
posed of representatives from
the Is members of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO), meets next in De-
cember.
West Germany's press Off
Ger, Karl Guenther Won Hase,
complained Friday that Bonn
was not properly consulted
about the limited test ban
treaty before it was negotiated
by the United States, Britain
and the Soviet Union.
Interests Seen Disregarded
A belief had persisted in
government circles that West
German interests were disre-
garded since the Communist
East German regime was al
lowed to become a signatory to
the pact. West Germany had
feared that this would offer
international recognition of the
Communist regime.
West Germany finally agreed
earlier this week to sign the
agreement after assurances
from the United States that
signing Of the treaty would not
mean recognition of the Red
German regime.
A few hours before Mr.. Won
Hase spoke, United States AM
basSador Charles c. Stelle told
the disarmament conference in
Geneva that the United States
would accept Soviet proposals
for stationary ground observa-
ton posts to guard against sur
prise attack.
| The question whether West
Germany had been consulted
arose at once. West Germany is
not represented at the Geneva
conference. Gerhard Schroeder,
the West German foreign min
lister, has taken a strong stand
that any such posts must be
mobile.
West Germans Unhappy
United States diplomats ex-
planned there is no formal
American proposal yet, but the
West Germans were clearly un-
happy. They were aware that
the next big forum for talks
will be the September meeting
of the U. N. General Assembly.
where West Germany is not Of
ficially represented either.
But Mr.. Schroeder will be in
New York, close to any talks
that are conducted.
The West Germans have
their own ideas about agree
ments to prevent surprise at
tack. The main one is that no
measure should discriminate
against West Germany.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Lead-

was made, leaders of the march
said, because demonstrators
are beginning to encounter
difficulties chartering buses in
New York and some parts of
the South.
Earlier policy by the civil
rights leaders had been to ask
people to refrain from driving
to Washington because of the
traffic problems involved.
The new policy, which is
expected to add hundreds of.
cars to the swarm of dem
onstrators' automobiles already
expected to pour in from near
by States and the Carolinas,
added to the problems of the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment.
COvell Questions Move
Informed Of the likelihood
of added cars streaming into
the District, Deputy Police
Chief Howard v. Covell said
he questioned the ACCESSIBILITY
of increasing the number of
vehicles inbound from out-of-
town. He said leaders of the
march have been informed
that parking spaces have been
arranged for more than 2,100
buses by banning parking be-
tween Seventh street and
Twenty-third streets NV. and
in the Tidal Basin-Ohio ave-

However, Deputy Chief Covell
said, demonstrators driving
here in private cars will have
to use the fringe parking lots
or commercial parking facili-
ties. He said march leaders
have been advised police will
not set aside parking places
for private cars.
