Star staff Writer

The Wilson Line christened
its new Potomac River excur-
sion boat yesterday.
The 221-foot, diesel-powered
vessel George Washington made
its maiden voyage from South
west Washington to Mount
Vernon and back in the teeth
of an icy gale.
Fortunately for the 400 dis
tinguished guests. newsmen
and freeloaders aboard, there
was an ample supply Of anti
freeze on hand-20 cases of the
finest California champagne.
1t made the expedition posi-
lively bearable.
The new river boat was tied
up at Pier 4 on Maine avenue,
about 20 feet from its sunken
predecessor, the Mount Ver-
non, which persisted in q
treacherous thaw last January.
At 1920 am. the Beach
johnson Trio played Anchors
Aweigh' and the good ship
churned out into the channel.
At 1921, the trio played
How Dry l Am" and the bar
on the main deck opened. True
to the code Of maritime chival-
ry, old women and children
were trampled underfoot as
the thirst-maddened voyagers
stampeded toward the free
champagne.
There was a brief furry OF
excitement as the ship sud-
denly shuddered to a stop OPP
posite Alexandria. Some of the
passengers, confused by the
Earring motion of the engines
reversing, thought the vessel
had run aground and made
hasty plans to break out the
lifejackets, man the lifeboats
and finish the champagne.
Someone asked the trio to play
Nearer My God to Thee" but
1t turned out that the skipper
had only stopped to let the
Woodrow Wilson Bridge open.

He told an earthly little story,
dropped all his final Gs, in

that he was thrilled" to be
with them and shared their be-
lief in 1.-The pioneer virtues. +"
Listen Politely
The ill-fed Kansans listened
to him politely. Only once did
they burst into genuine APP
plause. That was when Gov.
Rockefeller finally said what
they had come to hear.
President Kennedy said he
wanted to get this country
moving again." he declared
but he won't get it moving
again by dictation from WASH
ington."
That was the only sentence
that made his audience a little
less lonesome for the hero they
had forsaken Just for a chance
in the 1864 election.
The Governor told the gath
ering Of some 1900 that UNI
employment and international
policy probably will be top Re-

line some definite proposals

The eorgeWushington
Breaks Potomac Ice !.

Orderly slipping was restored.
Mount Vernon appeared on
the starboard beam shortly
after noon, and by 1928 the
river boat was tied UP at the
landing to welcome aboard
those who had taken dry roads
down.
A quorum was pried loose
from the bar and herded onto
the foredeck. where christening
ceremonies were held under the
direction of Douglas Smith,
president Of the National Saw
ings and Trust Co. Of Wash
ington. Mr.. Smith introduced
Senator Beall, Republican of
Maryland; United States Court
Of Appeals Judge George WASH
ington IA collateral descendant
of his namesake). and Mrs.
Francis Beirne Of Ruxton, Md,
regent of the Mount Vernon
Ladies Association Of the Union.
1t was Mrs. Beirne who
Christened the George Wash
ington, and If we are to believe
the Wilson Lines sworn pub
licity, she used a bottle filled
with water from all the rivers
that George Washington ever
|crossed-the Hudson, Charles.
Delaware, Susquehanna, Ohio.
Rappahannock. James, York,
Shenandoah and Potomac. She
whacked the bottle vigorously
on the rail, just behind the
prov: the Mount Vernon Fife
and Drum Corps played a little
tune, and everyone went back
TO the champagne. &
BY a fantastic coincidence,
yesterday was the 23lst anni-
versary Of George Washington's
christening. Mr.. Smith had
mentioned this. and it gave US
all something to think about on
the trip back. ~, !.
The George Washington
started its regular excursion
service up and down the river
last night. II every trip is like
the maiden voyage, it'll be a
short, happy summer.

and serious.
Why had he gone to Missis-

pie In Korea or South Wet
Nam. then / had to go TO Mis-
sissippi and help get them for

Mr.. Gregory spent several
days appearing at demonstra-
tons In Greenwood.
I'VE told the maids TO tell
the white women that we we're
going TO do this and we we're
going to do that" he said.
wild Goose Chases
The white women told the
police In many cases, he said,
and as a result the police, in
GLIDING the chief. were up all
the time on wild goose chases,
On Wednesday, a group OF
Negroes successfully made APP
plication for voter registration.
A group marched from the reg
istration point and. after being
told by police TO break up, were
arrested. After the arrests,
Mr.. Gregory was left standing
alone. A policeman collmed
him and pushed him along, but
did not arrest him.
His writer, Jim Senders, who
was with Mr.. Gregory at Ma
tional Airport today. was ar
rested.
Mr.. Gregory said the word
got around that Greenwood
could get rid Of him II his
writer was released. Last night,
he said. Mr.. Senders and two
other demonstrators were re-
leased. The rest. he said, should
be let out today.
