In the park across from the
Capitol these days youngsters by
the thousands are cluttering up
things with basket lunches and
camera shooting. The senators
and congressmen are aware of
the potentials of "I saw our
congressman and I got his auto
graph," when kids go back to
their voting parents. The law
givers aren't shy. A lot of them
walk out of the Capitol Build
ing pen in hand.
In the current session, the Sen
ate has had a lot of week ends
off. But, the while, the Senate
is getting a lot of work done.
Under the leadership of Sen.
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the
Senate has passed 408 bills and
has approved 30,728 nomina
tions, from the littlest postmast

The Library of Congress has a

fellows had the help of the wea

Sicilian Election
Boost for Scelba
Palermo, Sicily (U.R)
The Christian Democrats', vic-
tory In Sicily's regional election
was regarded today as a boost
for Premier Marion Scelba's cen
trist coalition and a key to his
survival in the impending gov
ernmental crisis.
The pro-American premier, a
; Sicilian himself, faces a no-con-;
fidence motion when the Ital-
iian Parliament re-convenes in
j Rome June 13. His party's gains
T in the week end election were
t teen as an important factor in
swinging the sentiment in his
favor.
Scelba had successfully stall
ed off the cabinet crisis on the
ground that the Christian Demo
crats should first see the Sicilian
elections through.
In one of the most orderly el
ections in its history, the land
of vendetta gave the Cathotic
i nartv a clear edee over the Com
munis-t-Socialist opposition. The
Christian Democrats gained sev
1 en seats in the 90-seat parlia-
i, ment of the autonomous island
region.
The gains gave the Christian
Democrats a 37-30 edge over the
leftist group in Parliament, the
number of Communist -Social
ist seats remained unchanged.

When the Washington Sena
tors are riding low the problem
of parking at Griffith Stadium
is of little moment, except per
haps on the week end. During a
recent week end, a lot' of fans
drove into a nearby recreation
department playground, and
were waved in by a gang of
eager kids who collected $1.50
per car.
The kids disappeared and
right behind them came the cops,
who put a ticket under each
windshield wiper for parking in
an illegal zone. Whatever the
fan paid to get into the ball
park, he also paid $1.50 to park,
and a $3 fine for a parking vio
lation.

Regents President W.' D. Lit

admitted to graduate schools in

Negroes seeking undergraduate
