I'm not sure this will be any help, but the Library of Congress has links to some Washington, DC (as well as CA, FL, KY, NY, UT and VA) newspapers that can be searched. Unfortunately, the Post and Evening Star are not included. Here is the link: http://www.loc.gov/chroniclingamerica/search_fulltext_advanced.html A former supervisor who I got hooked on genealogy sent me this so I have to give her credit for this tip.
