Is the 150th anni- | versary of the Nation's Capital to pass unnoticed? If not, private groups will have to bestir themselves, for Congress has washed its hands of the proposed Freedom Fair. In the past it has spent millions COUPLE OF BOUQUETS the House is allergic to any emphasis on the achieve- ments of democracy in a city to which it has denied home rule for three quarters of a century. We do not know whether private groups can com- mand sufficient backing to justify going ahead with {the celebration planned by the Washingtun Sesqui- centennial Commission. But it seems to us that the possibility is worth exploring. The commission has | asked the District Commissioners for help in securing a $3,000,000 loan from District funds. The House may be no more inclined to authorize such a loan than it was to appropriate Federal funds. Meanwhile time is | growing short.
