impressive. Its simple, dignified
old houses which have been
maintained instead of restored,
belong to the Nations begin
ming. It's streets are narrow, un-
meant for a motor age, and the

to park.
Nantucket, in short, is an is
land that went to sleep 100 years
ago when coal oil replaced whale
oil. It is awakening slowly and
with an understandable reluc-
tance. 1t is not sure that that
is Prince Charming whose shad-

doubts.
The intelligent tourists en-
chantment with Nantucket is not

intruding. Feeling as he does
that this is too lovely thing to

last paradise adjacent to recrea-

can appreciate how much more
the islanders must feel it.
Peace and antiquity are so
rare and so easily corrupted,
especially after 100 years of de-
presison. It is an idea that
makes the well-mannered visitor
tread softly in Nantucket. This
is a grace that permits him to
feel that he is merely an "off-
islander" instead of tourist"

However, the issue of Hell's

than the considerable impor-
tance given it by Mrs. PfoSt
and other supporters. It may
provide the key to the whole
philosophy of the new Eisen-

public VS.. private development

This is expected to come
about at a little-noticed hear
ing scheduled before the Fed
eral Power Commission, on an
application by the Idaho Power
company to build a much
smaller single-purpose (for

River.
The Interior Department

ground that it would be of very
limited value and would pre-
clude development of the
multi-purposed project which
the department said would i'm

four spies - all apparently Of

equipped them with radios for
contact with American spy cen

were ordered to murder Soviet
