When l answered the phone
at home last night, this man
asked, "Are you the Gardner
with Social Security?" When
l confessed I was, he immedia-
tely said, "Well, this is Mr..
Jones. I can't do what you
want me to do about Carrie
Ann" Then he continued to
talk very rapidly about his
problem. So rapidly, in fact,
that it was a long time before
1 got a chance to tell him l
didn't know him, much less
Carrie Ann, and that 1 hadn't
tie slightest idea what he was
talking about.
When he stopped to think
a moment, he realized what I
meant when l told him that
we ordinarily have two or three
hundred claims pending in the
office at any given time. He
realized then that we couldn't
go around with information
about each Individual claim in
our head. Well, we finally got
squared away, and he agreed
to call me today at the office.
Which he did. And we took
care of his problem (and Carrie
Ann's) without any trouble.
Now we get lots of mail from
Richland County, much of
which has to be sent on to the
Payment Center in San Fran
cisco. That's because much Of
this mail deals with such things
as changing addresses on bene-
fit checks of people who are
already drawing payments. Or
stopping benefits for a child
who has married. Things of
that sort. So many records are
kept in San Francisco that
they're kept by the social Sc
curity account number, not by
your name. So if we get a let
ter for the Payment Center
from Richland County Cor any
where else, for that matter)
which doesn't have the correct
social security number on it,
there's no point in our sending
1t on to San Francisco until
we've checked back with the
writer for the number. This
takes time, and often times
Important TO the person writing
the letter. So if you're writ
ing to us about social security,
be sure to include the social
security account number of the
person on whose account the
claim or inquiry is based, won't
you? It'll really help.

Resigns Agency Post
BY LEE FLOR
Star staff Writer

Robert A. Keith, the chief
Transportation planner for the
Washington area for the past
five years, has turned in his
resignation from the National
Capital Transportation Agency,
it was learned today.
He is leaving for a post as
deputy director of the Boston
Regional Planning Project, a
transportation planning agency
for the 2,000-square- mile East
ern Massachusetts area.
His resignation came as
President Kennedy was pre-
pairing to send a special mes
sage on transportation to Con-
greSS, based on his agency's
recommendations. The preSi-
dental message was expected
last week, and has been unex-
pectedly delayed.
The NCTA will have to ap-
pear before Congress to explain
its proposals for a 98-mile rail
transit system for the Wash
ington area.
Transportation agency Off
cials could not be reached for
comment.
Mr.. Keith has been director
Iof transportation planning
for the transportation agency
since the agency was formed
two years ago.
In the Washington area, he
worked first as a traffic en-
gineer for the National Capital
Planning Commission.
Survey Controversial
Five years ago he was ap-
pointed project director of the
mass transportation survey, in
the closing days of the plan
ming program. He supervised
the closing work on the survey,
which has been under constant
fire in the past three years be-
cause of charges that the study
was highway -orientated."
After the Transportation
Survey was released in 1859,
Mr.. Keith worked with Off
cials of the Federal Bureau of
the Budget and with local Of
ficials to draft the legislation

1T OFTEN WORKS. When

IT OFTEN WORKS. When
the light turns, they fight to
change lanes and pull over
to the curb and see if their
wheels are coming off. It is
the price they must pay for
their curiosity.
1t all started several weeks
back when the Rambler was
hunting for a parking place.
Happy Day! There was one
under a lovely old elm tree.
1t would keep the Chevy cool
all day long.
Around the tree someone
had tied a sign which was
probably responsible for the
empty parking place. 1t was
a warning that, any day
now, there might be some
tree spraying in the block.
The Rambler gambled and
won. That afternoon there
was no sign that the spray
ing people had been around.
The Chevy gliStened as al
ways in the twilight.
The next day, the space
was again available and the
sign was still up.
And that day the gallant
men of the Districts Tree
and Landscaping Division
sprayed The Rambler's Chevy.
They sprayed the top, the
windows, the doors and the
hood along with the lovely
old elm tree.
They also gave the car a
DDT finish - white polka
dots on a blue background
and quite arresting.
With a good lawyer, The
Rambler thought he could
probably get a car wash out
Of the District on grounds
he was insane at the time he
parked next to a sign that
warned there was spraying
to be done.
But after a while, he found
he was beginning to like the
looks Of the car, an attrac-
tive, speckled, robins egg
blue. Nothing like 1t any
where. And 1t had a lasting,
sticky quality about 1t.

DID ODD JOBS
Boy Scouts
Earn Trip
To Europe

Eighteen Boy Scouts from
Troop So in Chev Chase, Md,
are helping themselves to cross
the Atlantic for a good time.
BY the time the scouts leave
for a 20-day European tour on
July 8, each will have earned
at least half the $500 he needs
by doing odd jobs over the last
year or so.
Most of them, like 14-year-
old Michael Orville Freeman,
son of the Secretary of Agri-
culture. earned much more
than the half-price required
of each one by their Scout
master, Robert D. Adgate.
Michael, a ninth grader at
Leland Junior High, earned all
but $50 Of the tab delivering
newspapers and moving lawns.
Weed-Digging
His troop-mate, Robert D.
Adgate, jr., 16. turned garden
er and yardman for his share
of the fare. An Eagle Scout and
junior at Walt Whitman High
School. he earned nearly $400
by planting seeds, digging
weeds and moving lawns.
The European tour will take
the Scouts to Zurich, Switzer-
land, from where they will
take a train to Kanderstag, in
the heart of the Swiss resort
and ski area, for a week at the
Scout camp there.
For the rest of the trip. the
youths will live in homes of
European scouting families, in
London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
Nice to Visit
Our troop has for many
years played host to scouting
visitors from abroad" the troop
treasurer, Eliot r. Selinger,
said. I'VE decided it would be
nice to visit in return"
Mr.. Selinger, who organized
the trip along with Mr.. Adgate,
has been with the troop for l6
years although his own chill
dren, Andrew, 6, and Mark, 10,
are too young to join Troop So.
Troop No. So, sponsored by
All-Saints Episcopal Church in
Chevy Chase, numbers 70

tive troops in the country. 1t

smile crookedly and know
ingly. Still others have
laughed and once a group of
teen-agers yelled, Hey, it's
snowing," at The Rambler's
car, once a dark blue Chevy.
At first it was interesting
to watch their faces crum-
pling up in quizzical frowns
as they caught sight of the
Chevy, then returning to the
innocent dead pan position
when they realized the driver
had caught them peeping.
Sometimes they would sneak
one more glance before the
light turned green.
1t was pleasant to be at
tracing so much attention.
The Rambler felt like he had
a license number under 10.
Now he's getting sick of it
and fighting back.
He decided against think
ing up smart cracks to yell at
people who look at his car at
stop lights. People don't talk
to other people at stop lights,
even when they are only a
few feet apart. 1t is consid-
cred an invasion of privacy,
or something. If you as much
as say Hello" they might
call the cops or take down
your license number.
Instead, he looks at other
motorists tires with an
am ID expression - but
only, of course, if they have
looked too hard at The Ram
bler's car.

Montgomery County's anti
discrimination public accom-
modations law received over
whelming support at a three
hour public hearing on a re-,
peal move last night. But the
law may be superseded anyway
when a silnilar-but weaker
State law takes effect June /.
Four of 20 persons who
spoke at the hearing, attended
by more than LOO persons,
urged the county council to
repeal the ordinance. while
spokesmen from church, civic
and political groups vigorously
defended the measure.
Following the hearing, how
ever, County Attorney Robert
G. Tobin, jr.. said the State
law, passed by the last session
of the General Assembly, is in
conflict with the more stringent
ordinance in several areas and
may invalidate the local statute.
The local law, the first passed
in the State, requires equal
service for Negroes in all places
of public accommodation ex-
cept those doing more than
half their business in the sale
of alcoholic beverages.
Mr.. Tobin said the State law
does not apply to theaters,
bowling alleys and amusement
parks, and that in such cases
State law has precedence.
Extension Urged
Regardless Of possible State
local law conflicts. however,
Montgomery civic and religious
leaders last night gave the
local law support. Several even
urged that it be extended to

than so per cent of their busi-
ness from beer sales.
About lis persons remain to
be heard when the hearing re-
sumes at 8 pm. tomorrow at
West Rockville Junior High.
Council President John A.
Floyd twice threatened to ad-
journ the hearing when his
initial no-demonstration warn
ing was ignored by applause,
means. snickers and giggles
from both sides.
Court Ruling Needed
Mr.. Tobin also put a damper
on requests to strengthen the
ordinance.
"Montgomery's ordinance can
not be expanded to include all
taverns because some are spe-
officially exempt under the
State law. It's going to take
judicial determination to settle
all these questions" he said.
Prior to the parade of
speakers, Councilwoman Kath-
ryn E. Diggs told the crowd at
Richard Montgomery High
School she opposes repeal Of
the ordinance.
The leadoff speaker was the
Rev. Kenneth B. Wentzel,
chairman of the Human Rela-
tions Commission, who said his
group has had only four COM
plants. One was settled quick
ly and the others were dropped
because Of the present tavern
exclusion clause, which he said
should be deleted.

MuIter Bill Would Ban

District Committee and the
Congress will have full oppor
tunity to examine the issues
and so that all interested
parties can be heard"
Sweeping Ban
The legislation authorizes a
sweeping ban on racial and re-
ligious discrimination in the
sale, rental, advertising and
financing of housing.
A discrimination conviction
could lead to a Today Jail
term or a $500 fine. The ban
would cover the private home
owner as well as the profess
sional real estate man.
One OF the few exceptions to
the anti-bias ban would be a
rental by an owner who con-
tinues to live in the building.
In a news release, Senator
Morse said that failure on the
part Of Congress TO authorize
adoption Of anti-discrimination
housing regulations would not
justify inaction by the Com
"Once Congress has had am
pie time to do the right thing
In this matter and has not done
so, then the Commissioners
should put into effect their own
regulations banning this form
OF discrimination" he said.
Authority Disputed
Senator Morse added:
II would strongly and vigor-
ously oppose any legislation de-
signed 10 curb or block such
regulations"
Aside from arguments as TO
the need for adoption OF an
anti-bias housing ordinance,
the Commissioners are at odds
with most members OF the
subcommittee on the
question Of legal Jurisdiction in
the matter.
The position OF the Com
is that they have
authority now 10 put the regu-
lations on the books. Most
subcommittee members, how

Commissioners have no right

A civil rights champion in
the House is sponsoring a bill
to ban housing discrimination
in the District.
Representative Multer, DEM
ocrat Of New York, a senior
District Committee member,
introduced the legislation yes
terday.
1t picks up recommendations
of a tentative draft Of city reg
ulations demanded in March
by a House District subcom-
mittee from Corporation Coun-
sci Chester H. Gray. The sub
committee, headed by Repre-
sentative Whitener. Democrat
Of North Carolina, is hostile to
anti-bias regulations.
Mr.. Gray sent the draft to
Congress, under protest, be-
cause the subcommittee move
was generally interpreted as an
attempt to block such regula-
tions.
Mr.. Multer is not a member
OF Mr.. Whitener's subcommit-
tee, which undoubtedly will
handle the matter.
Commissioners Backed
But Mr.. Multer's action,
combined with a statement re-
leased by Senator Morse. DEM
ocrat Of Oregon. may strength

resolve TO ban discrimination
by regulation. The Commits
sioners now are simply mark
ing time awaiting action or
instruction from Congress.

Other opponents of the law
said it infringes on free enter
price and enforces integration
under threat of a $1,000 fine
or six months in Jail.
Republican National Chair
man William E. Miller, in a
telegram that arrived too late
for the hearing, said "as a resi-
dent of the county and in my
capacity as chairman of the
Republican National Commit
tee, I strongly oppose any re-
peal" of the ordinance.
The telegram was sent to
Maryland Republican Chair
man David Scull, who opposed
the repeal proposal at the
hearing. Mr.. Scull said he was
speaking as an individual, but
would have delivered Mr.. Mil
ler's message if it had been re-
ceived in time.
Defenders of the ordinance
declared it is morally right,
necessary for democracy, essen
tial to the local economy and
the Nations foreign policy, a
safeguard against integration
skirmishes and that there have
been no widespread demands
for repeal.
Requested by Hiser
The hearing was held by the
council at the request of one
of its members, John H. Hiser,
who campaigned on a platform
of repeal.
Other speakers comments
were:
Pedro A. Sanjuan, assistant
director of protocol for the
State Department: Our ideas of
a free society and individual
