Washington Is One Os World’s Great Capitals

(EDITOR’S NOTE* What makes a city great other than its sise alone? This is another in a series on 15 of the great cities of the world.) Great Cities No. 11—Washington By NORMAN RUNNION United Press International, WASHINGTON (UPD—Above all eke, Washington is “yoqr nation’s capital.” * It is the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson and Washington monument and Capitol Hill. It is the grave of John F. Kennedy and the eternal flame that flickers sadly in the gloom of night. It is. drug stores and newsstands with signs proclaiming “souvenirs of your nation’ss capital,” and selling cheap replicas of the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson and Washington monuments and Capitol Hill, and shabby “mementos of President Kennedy.” It is the glorious, soft beauty of the Tidal Basin in cherry blossom time, the graciousness of ttie White House, rat-infested streets six blocks from midtown, ugly “modern” buildings and freeways that seem to lead to nowhere. It is high school students, from Tennessee or New Jersey, erupting from charter buses at 6:30 a.m. to line up in front of cafeterias for breakfast; derelicts on 9th Street ahd Pennsylvania; a policeman with a K-9 dog at his side in the Negro slums up 14th Street. Parties, Parties Parties, parties and more parties. It is the diplomatic and social set, gay in times of peace, sober in times of crisis, leading the whirlwind pace of life in one .of the world’s great capitals — meeting the same people over , and over again, hearing the same conversations, aching to stay ome just once. It is a town that can be electric with excitement, where it becomes “our” city and “your” capital, with a smugness that borders on the proprietary. It

is a place where the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue can set the tone for all levels of life, where the Capitol Hill newspaper, Roll Call, can comment that “in six months we have gone from Camelot to Dogpatch,” and set the whole town talking. v • This can be a fun city. It can be a lonely city too, as all big cities are, and as some are more than most. Yet it breeds its own peculiar kind of loneliness, because it is a city of transients, where the friend or lover of today may be an acquaintance in Afghanistan tomorrow. Can’t Go Home It is congressmen and their wives from small rural commu-. nities who come to Washington the first time and love the excitement and feel the terror of being a part of a world they never knew back on the farm. It is some of these same people who 10 yeans later lose an election and stay in town because they have Potomac fever and they never can go back to the humdrum again. It is a city that is the seat of government .of the United States, yet its citizens did not have the right to vote until the 23rd Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in March, 1961. And that amendment gave them only the right to vote for president and vice president, and not for the mayor of their own town. Congress is in all reality the mayor, and passes on the city’s budget and on whether the flying of kites should be permitted. The city administration is headed by a three-member board of commissioners, all of whom are presidential appointees. Like all cities, it has a crime problem. It is a city where Rep. Omar Burleson, a Texas Democrat, proposed in 1963 that the U.S. Marine Corps patrol the streets “until crime is abated.” Washington is all this and much more on the 174th anniversary of its birth, at a time when it is changing -drastically to both conform to and submit to modern times. Planned As Capital It is above all “your nation’s capital” because it was planned that way, the first major city ever to be designed solely as the capital of a nation. Because of this heritage, the city is an institution unto itself. It is not brawling and lusty like Chicago, nor stimulating and dangerous like New York, nor

tweedy and gentle as London can be, nor sensual and seductive as Paris always is. Washington is the District of Columbia, and the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs. The population of the district is about 800,000 and the population of the metropolitan area is 2 million. are both one and the same, and totally different, and the reason for this is race. The suburbs, for the most part, are extensions of the central city itself. A commuter who lives in Bethesda, Md., or Falls Church, Va., does not feel as isolated from downtown Washington as compared to his counterpart who lives in Connecticut or Long Island and commutes for an hour or more into New York. But Maryland and Virginia are the south. Until three years ago the Virginia branch of one of the largest downtown department stores had “colored” signs posted on the washroom doors. Until two years ago, the Glen Echo amusement park in Maryland, just across the district line, denied access to Negroes. Negroes Buy Homes Hie District of Columbia, therefore, is nearly 54 per cent colored because it is here that Negroes can buy their own homes and eat in good restaurants. They can swim in public pools and send their children to “integrated” schools — that in some cases are almost 90 per cent Negro because of the white migration to the suburbs. On upper 16th Street are some of the loveliest homes in Washington, and most are owned by Negroes. In closer to town ate the Negro ghettos. There are changes under way. It used to be said that a blot on America was the fact that hideous Negro slums existed a few blocks from the Capitol dome. By and large, this is no longer true. The slum area in back of the caprtol is now being converted into expensive “town houses.” The ones who have paid for this revitalization of the main city are the impoverished Negroes. As it was once caustically put, “a white man now buys one of those Negro slums, reomdels it and forces the property value of the Negro to go up, and that poor guy can’t afford to live there any more so he moves out.” This is a city where in many areas white and Negro co-exist on the same block. It is a place where a Negro civil servant complained to his white neighbor about a Negro family that was overcrowding into a house down the street, the complaint being that both of their property values might be lowered.

Molly Bee Returns To Country Music By VERNON SCOTT f UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Molly Bee, the sweet-faced teen-ager who gained fame singing hillbilly songs, is 24 years old now and has retunied to the kind of music that made her a star. . For the past three years Molly had turned sophisticate in nightclubs and television. But somehow the image did not jibe with her wide-set eyes, youthful voice and blonde coiffure. Even now she must carry proper identification in her bag to be served a drink. So Molly has foregone the tight gowns, spike heels, fancy hairdo and throbbing pop tunes in favor of simple dresses, full skirts, wide belts and wholesome country mUsic. “That’s now I started out back in 1955 on the Tennessee Ernie television show,” she said sipping a noontime Bloody Mary at the Brown Derby. “And when rock ‘n’ roll caught on I started singing that, too. It was comfortable and fun. “But the chic costumes and pop songs -.just didn’t suit me somehow. Now when I play a

GOP Chairman Urges Work On New Candidates INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Republican State Chairman Robert N. Stewart eaid today the Democrats will spend about $2,800,000 during the coming campaign in Indiana and the Republcians must counteract with a policy of “work, work, work.” Stewart spoke at a meeting of newly-nominated state condidates. He said the GOP has a budget of only $700,000 and the Democtrats, through levying on Statehouse workers and other sources, have a war chest four times as large. State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, Elkhart, the U.S. senatorial nominee, urged that the GOP carry its campaign “into every crossroads and every factory.” Warns About Overlap Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, Crawttordsville, nominee for governor, warned against “overlapping efforts” and urged candidates to study the platform before # making speeches. He also suggested extensive campaigning ait county fairs. Bontrager and Ristine spoke at a Ist District rally in Schererville Monday night attended by almost 400 persons. A simi lar 2nd District meeting will be staged in Rochester tonight. Other meetings were scheduled, as follows: 3rd District, South Bend, Wednesday; 4th, Fort Wayne, Thursday; sth, Marion, Friday; 10th, Muncie, Saturday afternoon; 9th, North Vernon, Monday; Bth, Evansville, June 23; 7th, Switz City, June 24; 6th, Crawfordsville, June 25, and 11th, Indianapolis, June 26. Optimistic Over Chances “All of us have to work, work, work from now* on until November—even the candidates for judges,” Stewart said. “I am optimistic about our chances if we work.” Stewart (announced toat James Carroll, former political editor of the South Bend Tribune, who was chief press agent for Ristine, will perform a similar task for the entire ticket and that Kent Howard, Muncie, another Ristine aide, will have charge of speaking engagements. Paul Green, Lebanon, Boone County ehairman who managed Bontrager’s campaign, will take charge of coordinating the senatorial and gubernatorial campaigns, Stewart added.

Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee o 0 Q. At the end of a restaurant meal, when a boy and girl are dining together, which one indicates that it’s time to leave? A. Usually the girl. She places her napkin at the left of her plate, looks questioningly at her escort, and prepares to rise. If he suggests that they linger on, she may do so if she wishes. Q. If a couple of the bridesmaids at my wedding are married, is it necessary that we have their husbands serve as ushers? A. No. The husbands, however, should be invited along with their wives to all parties revolving around the wedding and its preparations. Q. Does a woman ever take the aisle seat when she is attending the theater with a man? A. Never. She miters the row first, and her escort takes the aisle seat. club I sing about six minutes of popular tunes and then sing country music the rest of the tome.” Molly hastened to add that she does not belt out the old cornball hillbilly numbers such as “Hogtied Over You”—except for laughs. She prefers “Cheating Heart” and “I Can’t Stop Loving You” and other ballads. “I predict country music will be bigger than ever this year” she went on .‘ The lyrics have more to say .than pop songs. “Country music tells a story instead of repeating the same phrase over and over again. And the big folk music craze has helped keep country music right on top. “The rhythm appeals to . people because of the strong afterbeat. It’s hand - clappi n g music.”

Documents Reveal Examples Os Rancor

By STEWART HENSLEY United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Long secret World War II documents made public by the State Department contain significant examples of rancor bet w e e n French leader Charles DeGaulle and U.S. officials. They serve to illuminate friction now existing between Paris and Washington. The volume of state papers covers U.S. and British dealings with DeGaulle between 1941 and 1945 and shows that then President Franklin D. Roosevelt viewed the Free French leader with mingled contempt and downright irritation. Roosevelt’s attitude was voiced again and again in communications with British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Here are some examples of the late U.S. President's acid comments: June 17, 1943 — Roosevelt wrote Churchill he was “fed up with DeGaulle” and was “absolutely convinced that he has been and is now injuring our war effort and that he is a very dangerous threat 1 to us.” (On the following day, Churchill replied that “no confidence can be placed in DeGaulle’s friendship for the Allies” and it was imperative that he be denied contool of French army forces in North Africa.) May, 1943—Roosevelt to Churchill: “I am sorry,i but it sterns to me the conduct of the ‘bride’ (A reference to DeGaulle) continues to be more and more aggravated.” The President referred to DeGaulle’s “vicious propaganda staff” which Roosevelt said was trying to “stir up strife” between the Arabs and Jews in North Africa. He commented that DeGaulle “may be an honest fellow but he has the

Messianic complex.” On a previous occasion, Roosevelt said the French must be

reminded that North Africa was under American and British occupation. He said of the French leader who was still in London: “Why doesn’t DeGaulle go to war? Why doesn’t he start north by west, half west, from Brazzaville? It would take him a long time to get to the oasis of somewhere." Churchill was more temperate in his ■ correspondence. Once he reminded Roosevelt that while DeGaulle might be a thorn in the side of Allied Unity, he had rallied to Britain's cause when the »Nazis were overruling Europe and threatening to invade England. In November, 1943, the U.S. diplomatic representative in North Africa, Edwin C. Wilson, notified the State Department that DeGaulle was extremely bitter over the fact he had not been told in advance about the North African landings. He reported that the French leader charged that American authorities seemed to have “deliberately sought to keep him down, to put him in a subordinate place.. .” DeGaulle, according to Wilson, complained that the United States persisted in dealing with the collaborationist Vichy government. In the background of the dealings at the time was the fact that the United States had initially sought to install Gen. Henri Giraud as the French military and political spokesmen in handling the North African situation. > f If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

Seeking To Restore Brazil’s Stability

By PHIL NEWSOM • ♦ UPI Foreign News Analyst An audible cheer went up from Washington last April 1 when the Brazilian military rose up against the government of left-swing Joao Goulart. President Johnson sent his “warmest good wishes” to the new government. Secretary of State Dean Rusk announced he hoped to Work “very closely” with the new regime. Two and a half months after the overthrow of Goulart, the cheers still were audible, if slightly muted. To the credit of Brazil’s armed forces, they moved quickly to restore constitutional processes once the revolution was secure and the new administration has shown a determination to remove the evils which all but wrecked the Brazilian economy and led to galloping inflation which last year amounted to more than 85 per cent. Nor could there be any quarrel with the new regime’s determination to sweep Communists and their sympathizers from government posts. But what did cause concern was the fear that the generals who engineered former army chief of staff Humberto Castelo Branco into office to succeed Goulart, also intended to extend their purge to all critics of the new regime. Along with some 250 others deprived of their political rights for terms of up to 10 years, the purge already had hit two former Brazilian presidents—Goulart and Janio Quadros upon whose resignation in September, 1961, Goulart had succeeded. At the beginning of the second week of this month, the axe fell upon a third—Juscelino Kubitschek, an avowed candidate for another term in office in elections scheduled for 1965 and one of the most popular politicians in Brazil. Kubitschek’s Social-Democrat-ic party is the country’s largest and his chances for election were considered good. The charge against him was that he had tolerated government corruption while to office from 1955 to 1961, and had collaborated with Goulart and with Communists. His administration bad been one of spectacular growth for Brazil. Built Brasilia It was Kubitschek who had conceived and pushed through the building of.

developed to ter ter, and started Brazil on its headlong rush toward industrialization. The two projects plunged Brazil deeply into debt and started the disastrous inflationary wave. But Kubitschek had seized the imagination of Brazilians and he boasted be had "awakened the giant.” In the fall of Goulart and in the government drive to pres® its reforms, Kubitschek has remained ostensibly neutral. But it was not frt'gotten that Goulart had served as his vice president and that he had assisted Goulart on his own rise to power. There was a suspicion that by his silence he hoped to gain political advantage that also eventually could lead to Goulart’s return. Whatever the reasons, the government had re - expressed its determination to take whatever steps it deems necessary to restore Brazil’s political and economic stability. The medicine is strong but Brazil’s ailment is serious.
