At Long Last, Army Is Going Into Black - Shoes By BOB CONWAY According to some historians, soldiers of the Cnited States Army have worn brown shoes and boots ever since the days of George Washington. However, at 2400 on I Sep tember 1956, a new Department of the Army regulation went into effect, providing for the change in color of soldiers' shoes and socks from brown to black. Despite the suspicion of Air j Force influence in the matter (flyboys have been wearing black shoes for several years), the 1 I). of A. explains the change has j been ordered to have soldiers' shoes and socks the same color as airmen and sailors to permit purchase of shoes for the armed forces under a single contract. i The new regulation is not quite as drastic as it first ap pears because Army men won't have to dispose of ail their brow n shoes arid socks. : ?.? ?.? J.a.: Gene Stanbery. Nashville, Term . Wesley K. Young, Spring hill, Lag L W. I'reston. Jr.. Acme: and M. H. Biggs, Georgetown, S. C. As to their footwear, the sol diers have only to visit their - nearest FX and purchase a kit of various solutions?some to re move the brown polish, some to recondition and clean the leather, and others to stain it black for the Pentagon's "New Look". Socks?it is presumed?can be dyed without too much trouble and thus hundreds of thousands of soldiers at home and abroad will be dyeing for their country in the next several weeks. So far the new regulation does not apply to clod-hopping com bat boots and paratrooper boots, but the Department of the Army is currently wrestling with this momentous decision. At present, the changeover or der applies only to the Regular Order, but the Army Reserve, National Guard, and ROTC is ex pected to receive the nod later. Another casualty of Pentagon planners is the "olive drab" uni form which has been worn by American soldiers through two World Wars and the Korean con flict, but which is scheduled to be replaced by a new green out fit next year. ?.

DIAL CiL 6-6.?ol MILLER STREET ' Government Red Tape Is Nothing New j By SENATOR SA.W F.RVIN WASHINGTON?Red tape is not exactly new in matters pertaining to the Federal Government. LACK OF AUTHORITY When Dolly Madison was the First Lady of the Land, she bought j a small looking giass in a gold franfe in France for $40 and charg ed it to the government of the United States. She apparently did not have written permission or authority to purchase it, so an argument followed as to whether or not the government should hon or the charge. Congress argued the matter for two weeks before agree- j ing to let the Federal Government j pay for it. Visitors to the Vice President's Room at the Capitol, located on the Senate Floor level, may see the mirror which caused >uch a j rumpus so long ago and reflect on governmental red tape of that past era. VICE PRESIDENT'S ROOM TheVice President's Room con- \ tains a wealth of previous memo- j rabilia. There is the famous por trait of George Washington by \ Rembrandt Peale, considered by ] scholars as the best painting of the First President owned by the Government. There is a bookcase from the time of Buchanan, a French gilt clock from the native North Carolinian James K. Polk's administration. One of the most attractive fea tures of the room is the crystal chandelier removed from the White House by Theodore Roosevelt. The story is told here that Roosevelt didn't like the chandelier's tinkling npise when fanned by a breeze. He reportedly ordered that it he tak en to the Capitol, placed in the Vice President's Room to keep him awake. I cannot vouch for the au thenticity of the motive, but I do know that the White House chan delier still remains in the office. One Vice President died in the office?Henry Wilson. "DOLLY" OR "DOLLEY" I wrote a moment ago about Dol ly Madison's looking glass and the trouble it stirred up long ago. Now I want to mention something that I learned recently about her. Mrs. Madison was christened "Dorthea". The' name "Dolly" is said to ap-< pear on her marriage certificate: j however, she wrote her name "Dol ley" when she signed her will. His torians also point out that the same spelling appears to have been used in the report of settlement of her estate, and also on the monument that marks her grave at Montpelier. Virginia We are, of course, very proud j of Mrs. Madison's North Carolina connections in Guilford County. Mandy, The Duck, To Jail MEDIA, I'a (AD?Can you have a duck jailed for disturbing the peace?
