Most of the victims are judges
who held Office under Chang Kai-

in Office under the Communists
voluntarily. Others were retained
because the Reds didn't have
enough judges of their own.
The propaganda barrage against

Maryland PTA Hears
Praise Of Schools as
Free From Controls
BY the Associcted Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. SIT h
37th convention of the Maryland
Congress of Parents and Teacher.
yesterday heard its president
Joseph A. Hunter. praise the free
dom from controls of Maryland!
public school system.
Mr. Hunter said safeguards hav'
been enacted into State law to SCI
to it that freedom from politica
control continues.
"Due to the rising cost of public
education and the fact that huge
sums of money. over which par
tisan politicians had no direct
control, were being spent for edu.
cation, these safeguards have come
in for some very sharp criticism.
Mr.. Hunter said.
"Some of our important news.
papers seem to take the position
that education was never intend.
ed for the common man, that the
common man gets too much, anc
that it costs the taxpayer too
much money" he added.
"These papers have engaged ir
a campaign of degradation against
the State Superintendent of Edu-
cation and have held him up to
public ridicule for doing his job
as set forth in the public school
law" he continued.
He did not elaborate on the
charges. Mr.. Hunter said Mary
land was now training between
one-third and one-fourth of the
teachers needed in the State an
nually, and he proposed that their
salary be raised to attract more
persons to teaching.
The two-day convention was
keynoted by Mrs. Newton P. Leon
ard, president of the National
Congress of Parents and Teachers.
The conventions legislative pro-
gram urges overriding of the Gov
ernor's veto of a bill to increase
teacher pay by $500 per year and
grade regular increments at $3.50
per year over a 12-year period.
The program also supports
establishment of a training col
lege for elementary teachers at
College Park, the holding Of a
State wide conference on youth
problems and juvenile delin-
quency, further State funds for
the Maryland Youth Commission
and further legislation for control
of narcotics sales and punishment

terested because American am
bassadors generally are RESPONSE
BILE for all United States activities
within their territory, and because
the State Department has been
telling foreign firms they don't
have to hire 5 per centers to dc
business with Washington.
Millions Involved in Deal.
In the tungsten deal, Lawrence
Westbrook and a colleague, Heinz
Pulvermann. contracted to sell
Washington between 50 million
and $40 million worth Of semi
refined tungsten ore in a period
Of nearly three years.
Each was to get a commission
of S per cent, but GSA Admins
traitor Jess Larson Cancelled the
contract Monday on grounds the
group had tried to buy ore in the
open market rather than produce
it themselves from Portuguese
mines.
The Democratic National Com
mittee fired Mr.. Westbrook who is
now in Texas in connection with
the Stevenson campaign, for ne
gotiating the contract while a
committee employe. But Mr.. Lar
son ordered a "top-to-bottom" in
vestigation into all aspects Of the
contract which he personally
signed.
GSA today used State Depart
ment facilities in France. Portugal
and perhaps elsewhere in the
inquiry.

"We are now in the process OF
determining what steps should be
taken to right the wrong done our

Mr.. Hill has represented Mr..
Westbrook and Mr.. Pulvermann
during the contract negotiations.
For his legal services he was to
receive 10 per cent of the COM
missions they got.
Three Chief Objectives.
Mr.. Larson's inquiry sought to

/. Why the mining syndicate
failed to make the commission
deal known to him at the final
contract signing.
2. Why his own organization
failed to keep him informed about
an earlier disclosure of the COM
mission deal.

Here's the inside story of how this
famed explorer created - and then
wrecked - the dinOsaur-egg market

KTosT people think explorers are
N1 crazy - and perhaps we are.
lam sure the Shanghai representa-
tive of Lloyd's of London, the
famous insurance company. was
quite certain about it one day in
1923.
The Central Asiatic Expedition
had discovered, far out in the Cobb
Desert, the first, and so far the
only, dinosaur eggs known to the
modern world. was faced with
the problem of getting them safely
back to New York and the Amer
ican Museum of Natural History.
They had to be insured, of course,
so / put the matter up to the agent.
He was stymied. What are the
darned things worth?" he asked.
Insured for SCI, 900
SCIENTIFICALLY, they're price
less" / said. Commercially they
would be worth only what some
one would pay for them"
Eventually, suggested that we
insure them for what the expedi-
ton of that year cost, which was
$4,000. If they were lost or de-
stroyed we might conceivably re-
turn to Mongolia and find others.
Lloyd's agreed.
The next problem was where to
put them on the ship. The purser
suggested his safe, but if by any
chance the vessel sank, good-by
eggs! Finally, / decided to keep
them in a safe position in my
cabin. If the call to abandon ship
came, / wouldn't abandon my
eggs. bought good tight suit
case, carefully packed the eggs,
sealed it in waterproof covering
and encased it in a specially made
life preserver. At every boat drill,
appeared clutching my suitcase.
Evening star., 1952-08-31

The passengers, particularly those
with cameras, loved it. Finally,
the eggs and arrived safely in
Seattle where / had another head
ache getting them passed by a
highly dubious customs Inspector.
Throughout the world the dino
saur eggs caught the public s fancy,
and received unbelievable public
ity. Almost everyone has an egg
for breakfast and 7O-million-
year-Old eggs were good for a
joke even ION the morning
after" To cartoonists they were a
godsend. Professor Henry Fair
field Osborn, well-known paleon-
tologist, said that the eggs did
more than anything else in the
whole history of paleontology to
make the man in the street"
dinosaur conscious.
In New York / had a brilliant
idea or at least it seemed bril-
liant at the time. We needed a
quarter of a million dollars to
finance the work of the expedition

for another five years and it had to
come from public contributions.
Why not auction off one of the eggs
for the benefit of the expedition?
To say that the newspapers
embraced" the idea is an under
statement. Within two days al
most every civilized corner of the
world knew that one. and only
one. of the dinosaur eggs was for
sale to the highest bidder. The bids
started at $1,000, and ran up to
&.5OO within week. Every day
the press reported the status of
the Great Dinosaur Egg Auction.
Eventually the egg was sold for
5000 to Colonel Austen Colgate
and presented to Colgate Univer-
sity.
The auction aroused such public
interest in the expeditions work
that l sailed happily for China at
the end of the year with a quarter
of a million dollars guaranteed.
Chinese Trouble
lHEN came the pay-off. The
Chinese, who had previously been
most cooperative, reversed their
attitude. We were, they said, TAX
ing priceless objects from the Cobb
Desert. Every fossil bone, in their
eyes, suddenly was worth its
weight in gold. l explained that
the value of the egg we had sold
was purely fictitious, a product of
publicity. 1t didn't register. Anti
foreignism was flaming in China
during those years, and my eggs
touched off an explosion against
us. Figuratively, they were thrown
in my face at every meeting with
the Foreign Office to arrange per-
mits for Mongolia. Eventually the
whole expedition had to be aban-
doned.
You have heard of the man in
the fable who killed the goose that
laid the golden egg. Perhaps he
was one of my ancestors. At any
rate, l know just how he must
have felt after the goose was gone!

but they add SO much in many ways.
For instance the arty figures of band
sters that decorated the stage curtain.
They had as much movement and
rhythm as the band itself For several
years that old high school gym has
been cleverly decorated for special
occasions, and without them the audi
ence would feel that it was in an aw-
