For an organization that
limits its membership to Just
20 women, the Victorians
have done a phenomenal job
Of meeting community needs
over the years-without self
seeking or publicity.
Quietly and without fan
fare or whoopla, these char
itable-minded Negro women
have sought out areas in the
community that needed a
helping hand. In each prof.
ect they have invested a per-
sonal interest that is heart
ening in this day of organ
lied, sometimes impersonal
charity.
For example, every Christ
mas they spend up to $3.50
buying shoes for youngsters
from Junior Village. To make
1t a real treat for the chill
dren. they bring the boys and
girls into Washington and by
pre-arrangement with a shoe
or department store have
them individually fitted.
I'VE usually bring in a
group that varies from 20 to
30 kids" says Mrs. Malcolm
Christian, q longtime men,
ber Of the Victorians. I'VE
bring them in the store Just
as 1t opens so as not to run
into the heavy business hours.
The kids love it. Usually we
try to buy them the shoes
the Saturday before they go
on the annual Junior Cham
Der Of Commerce 10-cent
store shopping trip for them.
Last year when I went with
them on the Jaycees' trip, I
saw several Of the children
wearing their new shoes"
Plans for the shoe-buying
trip, Mrs. Christian ex-
planned. begin with a phone
call to Mr.. Joseph S. Kosisky,
jr., administrator of Junior
Village, to ascertain how
many pairs Of shoes are
needed. Then a call is put
through to a department
store to see II they can handle
this type Of request and the
date is set for them to come
in
Evening star., 1963-05-05

Mrs. Christian pointed out
that when the project was
started 13 years ago, shoes
were chosen as the children's
most needed" item. The Dis
trict Welfare Department
supplies the children with
clothing and shoes, she said,
but they wear out the shoes
so fast"
Today, a check for $100 will
be presented to Junior Village
for its scholarship fund in
celebration of the Victorians'
silver anniversary. The gift
check will be presented by
Mrs. Wilbert Underwood, the
clubs president, at a lunch
con in the Occidental Res
taurant.
The luncheon will celebrate
the founding Of the club in

Behind the Scenes

Reporters who covered
President Johnson'S hastily
organized reception for
Congress last week were
treated to a rare sight.
Never before, in their
memory, had they been
present while the underpin-
nings for a White House
party were still being assem-
bled.
Due to the fact that the
mourning for President
Kennedy had not ended until
the evening before, White
House Staffers were on a
very tight schedule-taking
down the mourning crepe
and putting up holly and
other decorations for the
Christmas season.
They presumably would
have held off some of the
Christmas decorating until
the next day, but when the
party was organized, they
went all out to have every
last Christmas bauble in
place.
Fifteen minutes before the
party, workmen were on high
ladders inserting fresh sprigs
of holly around the famous
Healy portrait of Lincoln in
the State Dining Room.

President Johmson's Sleep
leSSness over the foreign aid
appropriation bill, incidental
ly, was not related to the
specific provisions inserted in
the House bill affecting
Russian purchase of wheat
from this country.
The President did not
want the wheat provisions to
stay in the bill, but not
because he thought they
would limit dealing in wheat.
They wouldn't have, in his
belief. Furthermore, he
thinks the Russians probably
will choose to get most Of
their wheat from Canada in
any case, because Canadian
terms are more to their
liking.
What did concern the
Chief Executive, however,
was the psychological kick in
the teeth to Russian Premier
Khrushchev that he felt was
implicit in the House wheat
provision. Mr.. Johnson
earnestly desires to continue
the cooling-off of tensions
which the late President
Kennedy had begun with the
test ban treaty.
A different but related
issue was Mr.. JohnSon's
strong belief that his own
prestige would suffer disas-
trously If the legislative
branch could appear to tie
his hands in the conduct of
foreign affairs.

most Of one night worrying
about the foreign aid i'm
passe in Congress. also has
been having sleepleSs nights
worrying over the question of
presidential disability.
The President and Speaker
Mccormack, who Is next in
line for the presidency, have
worked out an agreement
covering circumstances under
which Mr.. Mccormack would
take over in case the Presi-
dent were in some degree
incapacitated.
The agreement is identical
to the one adopted by former
President Eisenhower and
Vice President Nixon in 1858,
and also followed by the late
President Kennedy and Mr..
johnson as Vice President.
The earlier agreements are
not entirely applicable in the
present situation, however.
because Mr.. Mccormack Is a
member Of Congress, a post
he would have to resign If he
were to serve even temporari-
ly as Acting President"
Mr.. Johnson is well aware
of this. Also, although his
health Is now excellent, the
55-year-old President is
mindful that he had a heart
attack In 1855. Hence the
