A GREAT DEAL has hap
pened to Washington
to the world-since the era
about which Mr.. Reifel was
speaking.
The Congressman Is q
Republican from Aberdeen,
S. Oak. If he is a bit senti-
mental about Washington
and what it should become
he has a right to be.
He springs from stock that
encloses the generations Of
this dynamic land like pa
rentheses: His mother was
q Sioux Indian and his
father a German-American.
He, himself, was named the
outstanding American Indian
in 1856.
Besides all that, he has a
doctor of philosophy degree
in public administration
from Harvard University.
The words he spoke came
at the end Of a hearing be-
fore a House Appropriations
subcommittee on which he
serves. The National Capital
Planning Commission wa S
being asked about its budget
request for next year.
The going had been rather
rough, so Mr.. Reifel's words
were welcome.
IT do Join with other
members of my committee"
he said, Gin the hope that
we can keep expenses down
as much as possible, but you
do have a tremendous charge
"a tremendous response
bility-and we look to YOU to
see that we do come through
with eventually one of the
greatest cities in the world,
as far as its social and phys
ical environment, for the
people to see,
II wish you well. You may
not wind up with all the
money you have come to ask
for, but within what you get
I know you will do your very
best"

Two Girls Held
Captive 4 Hours
By Blond Gunmun

Police last night pressed
their search for the light
haired man who abducted two
Pennsylvania girls on q down.
town street and raped one Of
them.
The two young women, aged
10 and 20. told detectives they
were forced at gunpoint by q
35-year-old TO drive aim
lessly through city streets while
he threatened to kill them If
they disobeyed his commands.
Sex Squad detectives said the
girls, both here on a week end
sightseeing trip from Gettys-
burg, Pa. They went to the
movie, days Of Wine and
Roses" at the Metropolitan
Theater. at Tenht and F street
NV, Friday night and were
entering their car, on Tenth
street In front of a church
when the man, brandishing O
small pistol, accosted them.
Drove Twisting Courage
Ordering the younger girl To
drive, the gunman made them
follow a twisting, cratic course
through city steets.
Police 1t. v. Edward Tate
said the man ordered the
younger girl to stop the car
on three occasions. At the first
stop. the young woman said he
tied the 20-year-old's hands
with scarves and made hei
climb into the autos back seat
The 19-year-old told detec-
tives she was forced to disrobe
the second time the car
stopped. She did so but was told
to put on her tan, wool coat
and keep driving.
At the last stop, the girls
told detectives, the man raped
the younger girl, took q total
of $37 from their purses and
the car keys, then disappeared
after tying the 19-year-old
with her own stockings.
Had Duplicate Key
The two young women said
they united themselves quickly
and, using a duplicate ignition
key, drove to the 1900 block
of K street NV, where at I
am. yesterday, they hailed 9

IN THE COLD TYPE of
the transcript, these we're
warm words, indeed. They
somehow seemed to SYM
bolize the good fortune of
the American people in hav-
ing had Congress, for so
many years, as the very hui
man. and even sentimental,
center of governing power.
There are those who say,
with a certain truth, that
Congress can be gruff. Or
that when 1t wants informa-
ton 1t deserves TO have, it
speaks directly to the point,
with no sentimentality.
But anyone reading the
1911 pages Of testimony in
which Mr.. Reifel's words ap-
pear would never say that
Congress is not hard-work-
ing. Or that 1t Is not hui
man. Or that 1t is an in
stitution that anybody in his
right mind would want TO do
without.
The volume is 3 inches
thick and records hearings
on budget requests. It is one
Of as or 30 volumes record
ing millions OF words which
the House Appropriations
Committee publishes during
every session Of Congress.
Reading them all can give
q better idea OF what this
Government does than any
college course. Reading them
all can give a more complete
understanding Of the majesty
Of this city than living here q
lifetime.
Reading them all, indeed,
can show more clearly than
can be shown In any other
way why Washington de-
serves 10 become - In Mr..
Reifel's words-"one of the
greatest cities in the world"
For they reflect a greatness
OF work not yet fully matched
BY the physical setting OF the
National Capital In which
that work is done.

long line Of guests waited TO
greet j. Willard Tawes at the
Governors reception ball at
the United States Naval
Academy here last month.
But off to the side there was
q second greeting line that
some say was even longer.
At the receiving end Of
this second line was an old
gray-haired Negro whose
face wore o permanent smile
even though three front
teeth were missing. His
Navy-blue coat was festoon-
ed with the gold stripes Of
q fleet admiral, and there
were nine gold stars on each

this colorful man wearing
all that brass anyway Why,
1t was old 'Marcellus Gabriel

''Marcellus," as everyone
calls him, has become o
human landmark in this
little Severn River town dur
ing his so years Of service
at historic Carvel Hall
Hotel. To visit Annapolis and
not say hello to Marcellus
would be q serious breech Of
tradition. And Annapolis
loves tradition.

There are some who even
go as far as saying that the
70-year-old supervisor Of

more important landmark
than the hallowed State
House where Washington re-
signed as commander in

Army in 1888.

that Marcellus deliver his lit

for the appetizers. He started
this rs years ago and it has
now become almost part Of
the meal.
"As a youngster I used to

earn some spending money"
he says. Then, in 1918 when
I got out of school, the man

day on the sensitive question
of racial housing discrimina-
ton in Washington.
The subcommittee members
are expected to focus their
questions on the legal limits
of the Commissioners dele
gated powers to take action in
this area.
Sanjuan Urges Speed
Pedro A. Sanjuan, an assist
ant TO the United States Chief
of Protocol, meanwhile said last
night that the Commissioners
should Immediately issue an
order banning racial discrim-
ination in Washington housing
There should be no delay
Mr.. Sanjuan said in a parents
week dinner speech at George
town University. ut has beer
a long time since the Com
missioners first announced
fair housing ordinance. 1t is
overdue"
Since last April, Mr.. Sanjuan
said, an estimated 40 diplo-
matte families from African
countries have been told al
one time or another that they
were not acceptable as ten
ants" He said his office had
"varing degrees Of success" in
finding suitable housing for
most Of the families.
Racial discrimination in
housing has caused some dip
lomats to be transferred from
Washington to New York. he
said. He said that a ban or
housing discrimination here
would solve his Offices biggest
headache by ending the in
suits African diplomats re-
ceive from landlords who re-
fuse TO rent to persons Of dark
