Thats how it was . . . IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL The annual Fourth of July fireworks celebration at the Monument Grounds, a highlight of the year for young and old alike. The residents of the District of Columbia were sub- jected to the usual amount of political activity. For the first time in 82 years the United States Senate passed a civil rights bilk a compromise measure, which was enacted despite the record-breaking one-man filibuster by Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, who dragged out the fight against the wishes of his Southern colleagues . - . President Eisenhower ' s mild stroke caused summersaults in the stock market and brought up once more the issue of establishing succession pro- cedure for an ailing president in case of necessity , , . Queen Elizabeth ' s- visit captured the city’s imagination, despite the fact that she preferred the l niversity of Mary land’s brand of football to G.W.’s . . . Queen Eliz- abeth was not Washington’s only important visitor, as the District’s Commissioners handed out keys to the city to such personalities as King Saud of Saudi Arabia and actress Jayne Mansfield . , . Once again the year was a discouraging one for the District’s residents as far as sports w ere concerned. Despite the heroic efforts of home run champion Roy Sfevers. the Senators returned to last place in the American League. The Redskins, even though they were blessed with greats Gene Boito and Eddie Le- Baron, never had a chance for the championship, a fact that we hope will be corrected by their signing of their number one draft choice, G.W.’s own Mike Sommer, President Eisenhower enjoying the football game between G.W. and the Air Force Academy, Associated Press Photo
