L0R, one of the most ELI
gihle in Washington, he lives
on the Hill in the Coronet
apartments at 200 C street.
Sid, was amused when he
realized that I had confused
sin with night life.
"Our night life had
dropped off a Bit" he said,
with the close of the sum-
mer concerts of the armed
services bands on the east
steps of the Capitol. But it
is picking up again with the
Tuesday night poetry read
ings in the Library of Con-
greSS. We also have the
Juilliard String Quartet play
ing in the Library's Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge auditorium.
Lights have been noticed
burning as late as midnight
in the Methodist Building.
There is no curfew for the
tenants.
$50 you would like to see
the Quorum Club. I'll see
what I can do"
It never occurred to me
that it would be difficult.
He was one Of the original
members when the club was
started four years ago.
But Sid confessed he was
embarrassed about going
back, because he had been
accurately quoted in the
press that the food was
lousy"
Robert Baker, recently re-
signed secretary of the Sen
ate majority, was one of the
ORIGINAL officers,

that's the echo suppressor -"
said j. r. Burke, director of
the Syncom project, telephon-
ing someone at Electronics
magazine in New York.
Another National Aeronau-
tics and Space Administration
man took on the task Of trying
to explain how the phone call
works:
I'VE call from here to the
Goddard Space Flight Center
at Greenbelt, Md, on the
regular telephone line. God
dard shoots the call to the
satellite and the satellite shoots
it down to Lakehurst Ito the
30-foot diameter antenna set
up at Lakehurst Naval Air Sta
ton, N. j..
It's All Very Clear
at goes on a regular tele-
phone line back to Goddard
and continues on a regular
telephone line to your boss al
The Star. When he talks To
you, his voice goes from The
Star to Goddard on the regular
telephone line, from Goddard
to Lakehurst via the regular
telephone line and from there
to the satellite and from the
satellite to Goddard and then
back into the phone here
Got it?"
"Oh, sure, sure. Just one
question. Why can't you 60
directly to the satellite from
Lakehurst?"
I'VE can. Also it would be
direct if we were at Goddard
We just think we have a better
switchboard. Lakehurst has
such a lousy switchboard"
1t was my turn. In a few
seconds the unmistakable voice
of my editor came in loud and
clear. In all this communi-
cations business there was only
three tenths' of a second time
lag. The only problem was that
the first word Of each sentence
was cut off.
1t was explained that an
echo suppreSsor"-a gadget to
stop any feedback or echoing,
was attached somehow, some
where. If either person re-
ponds to sentence too quick
ly, before the echo suppressor
cuts off, the first part of the
sentence can be lost.

SID CALLED THE CLUB

SID CALLED THE CLUB
and got the bartender who
said he had strict orders
that newspapermen were not
to be admitted.
No one was in the club,
the bartender reported, and
he was thinking of closing.
Then Sid called the preSi-
dent of the club, Lyle
Snader, of the Association of
American Railroads. A long
conversation enSued.
HE says he knows you,"
said Sid. But all I can get
out of him is he doesn't
want to be quoted. They're
all chicken, jumping in the
cyclone cellar and pulling
the lid tight.
why don't you call Pete
Williams Senator Harrison
williams of New Jersey?
He's an original member"
Senator Williams said that
he was catching the 6 o'clock
shuttle to New York but
that he would delegate his
administrative assistant
Ardee Ames to be my host.
He passed up the door next
to the hotel desk with a big
@ on it and turned the knob
of a blank door beyond.
The bartender was still
there and five men were in
earnest conversation at a
table in the barroom.
A tall brunette waitress
questioned us and called the
Senator's office for vertical
ton before she served a
drink. The two rooms of the
club were pleasantly ap-
pointed with stained dark
panels.
The bar was upholstered
in dark leather.
In the far room a woman
in red and a man in a dark
suit were momentarily I'M
inhibited in their interest in
one another.
They were sitting under
one of those paintings of
innocent unclothed feminine
adolescence after Marie Lau-
rencin.
Ardee Ames signed the
Senator's name on the tab
for two drinks which was
$2.40.
Then I went home for din
ner.

Star Staff Writer

RICHMOND, Oct. 29.-Rep-
resentative Jennings, who is
being mentioned increasingly
as a possible Democratic can
didate for Governor or Senator
from Virginia, last night in
vited Republicans to join in a
Crusade" to repeal the poll tax
in State as well as in national
elections.
At a dinner of the Virginia
Democrats for Repeal of the
Poll Tax, the Southwest Vir-
ginia lawmaker also asserted
there is no need for a special
session of the General AS
sembly which Gov. Harrison
has said he expects to call
next month to set up new vot-
ing qualifications for Federal
elections.
More than 600 persons con-
verged from all sections of the
State for the dinner, which at
tracted about twice as many as
had been expected.
Federal Amendment Due
The special session of tn e
legislature, which Gov. Harri-
son says will be called about
November 10, will be asked to
enact voter qualifications to
substitute for the poll tax in
Federal elections. The levy is
expected to be eliminated as
a voting requirement in Fed
eral elections when an amend
ment to the United States Con-
stitution is ratified, probably
early next year. The poll tax,
however, would remain in eff
feet as a requirement for vot-
ing in State elections in Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Jennings drew his most
enthusiastic response of tn e
evening after declaring Gov.
Harrison had changed his at
titude on the subject since
April.
He cited an Associated Press

the country especially among
teen-agers."
"Teen-agers comprise about
40 per cent of those receiving
treatment for venereal diseases
in Montgomery County health
clinics" according to DR..
Mitchell V. Owens, school board
director of health and safety.
Many UnrepOrted
Whatever the reported num-
Der of venereal disease cases is
now, there are about five times
as many not reported" DR..
Owens said.
With films and pamphlets,
the causes, transmission, and
effects of syphilis and gonorrhea
will be taught physical educa-
ton classes during the four
weeks already set aside for the
study of communicable and
non-communicable diseases.
All 10th graders take physical
education, but for four weeks
the students study diseases in
classrooms rather than exercise.
Boys are taught separately from
girls.
The venereal disease study
outline, prepared in conjunc-
ton with the County Health
Department. was reviewed by
the school board last night be-
fore it approved the program

Labor Alarmed
As Union Shop
Ban Spreads

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb.
16-A renewed wave Of activity
IN State Legislatures armed at
outlawing compulsory union
shops is troubling labor leaders
gathered here for winter meet
ings.
Wyoming has Just become
the 10th State to ban the union
shop. One official here declared
that "the drive by enemies of
labor has grown to alarming
proportions"
A counter-drive to keep
other States from taking SINH
lar action is expected to be
mapped by the AFL-CIO
Executive Council in sessions
opening here tomorrow.
All State Legislatures meet
this year and AFL-CIO officials
said moves were under way in
% States to prohibit contract
clauses requiring employees to
join and pay dues to unions.
A part of labor's counter
drive will be an all-out effort
to persuade Congress to repeal
section lab of the Taft Hart
ley Law, which permits States
to enact "right-to-work" sta
tutes barring union shops.
If this State option provision
were killed, all existing right
to-work statutes would auto
matically be repealed.
A long, uphill fight will be
necessary to amend Taft Hart
ley Law. union chiefs admitted,
but they said they expect to
win the fight eventually.
Currently. the biggest fights
over right-to-work proposals
are raging in Maine and
Oklahoma.
Union-shop opponents insist
that no worker should be COM
PEELED to join a union against
his will. Labor organizations
argue that all workers they
represent should be required to
contribute dues support.
Union leaders say that right
to-work law campaigns are
often undertaken in States to
divert organized labor from ac-
tivities in behalf Of its other
legislative goals.
States presently having right
to-work laws besides Wyoming
are Alabama, Arizona, Arkan-
sas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana.
Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Ne
braska, Nevada, North and
South Carolina, North and
South Dakota, Tennessee, Tex
as, Utah and Virginia.
The union leaders listed these
% States in which they said
right work moves are under
way: Oklahoma, Maine. Idaho,
Montana, New Mexico, Oregon,
Vermont. Delaware, Pennsyl-
vania, Washington, Connecti-
cut, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan,
Rhode Island. Massachusetts,,
Alaska, Colorado. Kentucky.
New York, Wisconsin and Min
nesota.
