A study Of so families
dropped from District relief
rolls or refused assistance
shows that most are worse off
today. and are still dependent
on the community and others
for survival.
Only a handful were able to
get back to q subsistence level,
the Bureau Of Social Science
Research, Inc, reports in a
study conducted for the D. c.
Health and Welfare Council.
The Bureau stresses that
since welfare records weren't
made available, families inter-
viewed had to be found in a
variety of ways. Those who
split up to live with relatives
or left town. as well as geo.
graphically and socially isolat-
ed cases, could not be located.
ut is probable, therefore,
that the 50 families included
in the study are more stable
than a true sample would have
been," the bureau asserts.
2 Sent to Junior Village
The bureau asks that this be
kept in mind In reporting that
1t found only two cases of chill
dren being sent to Junior VII
lage, the city institution for
youngsters whose own homes
are lettering. Several women
said they had been advised to
send their children, at least
temporarily. but they refused
because they wanted to keep
the family together.
Two children in the so fam
lilies died. one from spinal
meningitis and the other from
pneumonia said to have been
caused by lack Of sufficient
heat in the apartment during
the winter.
No cases Of literal starva-
ton" were uncovered. although
many families ate badly. Only
10 families reported no food
problems.
One woman fed herself and
her six children nothing but
oatmeal for more than q
month. She said her eldest
son was thin and die not eat
much because he was tired Of
oatmeal.
Families borrowed food from
friends or relatives. or begged
from neighbors.
A major factor aggravating
the food situation was the fire.

ABOUT 400 PERSONS
have obtained permission to
copy paintings in the gallery.
Any painting owned by the
gallery may be copied. Only
those on loan such as the
Mona Lisa" are denied the
copyists.
The gallery asks applicants
to show samples of their
work. This is not to insure
that the copy win be a good
likeness. The gallery's con-
Germ about the amateur
painters is that they might
be so inexpert as to splash
paint on the original.
This is a very important
painting for me-" the woman
said as we sat on the long,
comfortably upholstered
settee facing both her easel
and the million-dollar paint

"The gallery rules are that

The
Rambler
Meets
Live Boucher
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The other morning a short,
plump woman approached
the guards desk at the Ma
tional Gallery Of Art.
Her round pink cheeks were
set off by her costume, a
coverall artists smock of
blue.
She was carrying a 5-by-5-
foot stretcher of canvas -
larger than herself in at least
one dimension.
The guard directed her to
lay it face down on, the mar
BILE floor. Before she did she
carefully wiped the APP
parently immaculate surface
of the floor with a cloth.
Then the guard stamped the
back of the canvas with two
rubber stamps.
Later I came upon her in
Gallery 8. The almost square
stretcher was on an easel and
she was happily drawing the
lines of Raphael's ALBA Ma
DONNA"
I asked her about her en-
trance. She explained that
the first rubber stamp left an
indelible message that the
painting was COPIED in the
National Gallery Of Art"
The second printed the num-
Der OF her permit to copy this
particular picture at this
time.
She had painted it twice
before-two previous permits,
two smaller numbers.

Press Building
Signs Pact for
$3.2 Million

The National Press Building
Corp. yesterday signed a con-
struction contract to remodel
and expand the building an6
convert the Capitol Theater

Work is expected to start in
the early fall and require about
l6 months.
The Capitol Theater, which
has occupied about a third of
the building space, will be con-
verted to 100000 square feet of
office space and about $4,000
square feet of comme rcial
space.
The date on which the the
alter will close has not yet been
determined.
The street floor exterior of
the building is to be redesigned
with an arcade fronting on F
street.
Edwin A. Weihe & Associates
planned the remodeling and
renovation of the structure.
The plans were indorsed by the
National Capital Downtown
Committee as part of the revi-
talization of downtown WASH
ington.
Other bidders on the work
were John McShain, Iron q
Reynolds. Inc, and Charles H.
Tompkins Co.
Transform Six Floors
The Capitol Theater space
Is six stories high, ITO feet
wide and 220 feet long. Besides
Transforming this cavern into
office and commercial space,
the project will:
Air condition the entire
building with a new central
plant fan-coil and low-pressure

Improve the electrical system
to provide for fully modern
lighting and power needs, in
Guiding tripled candlepower for
offices.
Create a new lobby served by
an al-new automatic system Of
! six-passenger elevators and a
J freight elevator.
I Modernize corridors and
: lighting, replace heating boilers,
! renew plumbing and give the
building a new exterior facade
up to the third-floor level.
Late Moves Futile
The S6-year-old building is
owned by the National Press
Building Corp, 10000 of whose
, $4,000 shares are owned by the
National Press Club.
J Several bills were introduced

will walk in the front ranks Of
more than 100000 whites and
Negroes here on August 20.
The massive March on, Wash
ington for Jobs and Freedom
will be a symbol Of the Negroes
struggle for full citizenship
status, Mr.. Randolph declared.
The march, he said, will lib
crate America from the stigma
of being a first-clasS Nation
with second-class citizens"
I'VE will come mere to carry
on a creative dialogue on hu-
man brotherhood to create
a national consensus for the
adoption of civil rights legis-
lation," Mr.. Randolph said as
he explained the purpose of the
March on Washington to more
than 80 Senators and Repre-
sentatives yesterday.
Responsibility Cited
Senator Javits, Republican
Of New York, inquired If there
would be an educational proc
ess to teach Negroes there is
"a concomitant responsibility
which goes with opportunity"
Mr.. Randolph replied that
Negroes already understand
this.
The Congressman were told
that the marchers viii assem-

At the end Of the Memorial

munity and TO keep the pledge

To Invite Congress
All members of Congress will
be invited to the Lincoln Me-
mortal program and will find
reserved seats there. They will
not be asked to speak.
Representative Conte, Re-
publican of Massachusetts,
asked Mr.. Randolph to suggest
to House Speaker Mccormick
that no major legislative mat
tiers be slated for August 20 so
that members of the House can
attend the Q pm. program at
the Lincoln Memorial.
Mr.. Randolph said the 10
leaders of the march will seek

HotothIi Outlines
Education Problems

A prominent leader of the Navajo
Indian Tribe has given booming
school-age populations, differen-
ceS in Indian cultures and confuS-
ion among some parents as the
reasons for difficulties in Indian
education.
Ned Hatathli, director of the
Resources Division for the Navajo
Tribe, told his audience at an
educational conference on the Fort
Lewis A 6 M College campus in
Durango, Colo, Monday night that
great strides have been made in
educating Indian youth, but that
there is still much to be done.
Hatathli substituted for Tribal
Chairman Paul Jones, who was
unable to attend the Conference.
He pointed to the fact that room
will be made for an additi tional 3 600
Navajo children in schools on the
Reservation next year, but that
there will be an additional 5000
school-age children ready for
classes and that the program will
only be holding its own so far as
space requirements are concerned.
Hatathli spoke, too, of the teach

ed that the best teachers were those
who we're really interested in Indian
education and voiced the opinion
that some might be happier if given
more liberty in the selection of
school, rather than being assigned
to location by the Bureau of
Indian Affairs.
The Navajo Tribal official said
he believes there are 6,OOONavajo
school-age children who are not
attending classes and sire ssed the
shortage Of high school facilities
on the Reservation. He said there
is aneedfor more vocational train
ing and post-high school programs
for those who are not c ollie ge-
bound. Said Hatathli: "We need to
prod our students--to motivate
them to do we'll" He is certain, he
said, that they want the fruits of
modern science and technology and
that they want to be a free and
independent people.
