It's true
He led her into the great park
with its rolling lawns and masses
Of trees. They'd played together
there as children.
Mice" intoned Robert O'Brien.
But the farm is nicer. Heavens
a farm in springtirne, that's what

about living close to the earth.
Doesn't that appeal, RUTH"
II was wistfuily asked. Bob's
face was flushed now with the
intensity of emotion. His gray
eyes contained an almost feverish
glitter. Along his left temple a
tiny vein throbbed noticeabiy.
Isn't that the sort Of life you
want7n
/ When she was in love voice
inside her would tell her so. Shed

there'd be no fears. there'd be 20
reservations. Like bell the voice
would be. and when il rang Il
would ring for happiness. Until
then
THE voice says nothing. Bob.
I'm sorry. But there II is. The
voice just SAYS nothing.
And you leach school, Heaven
help the children you teachl
They'll grow up to be fools
He turned and left then. leav-
ing her alone. She felt sorry for
him. too, felt sorry for him as
she'd felt sorry for Mr. HuGord.

of the sea, the haggling. You're
lucky" she told the fat artist.
You'll never meet finer men or
do more important work. And
doesn't it make you feel good to
know that you're paying OF your
debit"
''I'll never eat another piece of

Sadly the artist dropped q bucket

D UTH remembered the waiting
IN Bob, and left. "All well?" Bob
got out of the car and tossed a
cigarette away. do you think
FatSo will live?"
"All perfect, Bob. He may hate
mental work, but he's sticking
things out"
Bob had more important things
on his mind. He wanted to ask the
question of questions. He scowled.
He turned his back on toiling Mr..
Hufforc and the immense sea. He
studied the rosy oval face, the
lovely sight Ruth made in her
beige wool dress. He wanted to
kiss her then and there on the
spot.
He caught her arm as she sought
to turn right instead Of continuing
straight across Ocean Road to
Henderson's Park.

I'VE have to talk" he said stub
bornly. Its stupid to 90 on this
way. We're throwing youth away
that's what"
That's a nice thing to tell .

Bride, IS, Killed
As sNotorcyc|e
Strikes Island
Husband, Resident
Of Lorton, Injured
In Virginia Crash

A 15-year-old Virginia bride
died last night when her hus-
bands motorcycle struck a

She and her husband, Jesse
Alton Gurganus, 25, were thrown
from the motorcycle. She suf-
fered a fractured Spite. Mr..

1T doesn't take a lot of money
to build sound homes from which
sound citizens come, but it does
take lot of sense.
Boys and girls who fail to

Two States Checkinq
Claim Jones Point
Area Is in Maryland

Maryland and Virginia au-
thorities today began checking
into the validity of Free State
Congressman's claim that five
acres of Jones Point, Alexandria
actually belong to Prince Georges
County, Md.
A spokesman for Gov. Nickel
din said the question of "mov-
ing" boundary between the two
States would be submitted to
Maryland's Attorney General for
a ruling.
Alexandria Mayor Marshall j.
Beverley announced he would
ask the city attorney to investi-
gate the legal aspects of the
claim and furnish the city coun-
Gil with an opinion.
Representative Small, Repub-
lican, of Maryland's fifth district
which includes Prince Georges,
brought the boundary question to
the Governors attention in a
letter Saturday.
Copies of a geological survey
map prepared by the Interior
Department and an Engineer
Corps map showing the Prince
Georges line cutting across the
tip of Jones Point, long believed
Alexandria's territory, we're sent
by Mr.. Small with the letter.
Jones Point, a 60-acre site cur
rently in use as a military res
ervation, is largely filled land.
The five acres to which Mr..
Small lays claim in behalf of
Maryland are part of the filled
area. The pit-shaped plat juts
out beyond the boundary estab-
lished by the original corner
stone from which the Maryland
District of Columbia Virginia
boundary is traced.

BroYhiII Presses
For U. 5. Payments 10
Replace LOST Taxes

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican. of Virginia yesterday
said the Federal Government
should make payments to the
District and the States to make
up tax receipts lost to- them by
Federal ownership of land.
He made the suggestion as he
spoke to the Sons and Daugh-
ters Day Foundation. District
Commissioner Renah F. CANA
lier also spoke.
Mr.. Broyhill pointed out that
the District and Arlington are
losing huge sums in real estate
taxes because Federal installa-
tions occupy so much tax-free
land. He said that, IN Arlington,
the Federal Government has
one-sixth of the land and in the
District close to half.
If the Federal land in Arling-
ton were owned by private in
terests and taxed, the county
would get about Sc million a
year. Mr.. Broyhill contended.
He said the Federal Govern
ment should pay its share of the
taxes. The problem should be
attacked by a co-ordinated effort
Of local officials in the Washing
ton area, he added.

Equipment Precise.
Celebration and testing equip
ment at Silver Spring is consi-
dered to be among the best in
the United States. The low
temperature facilities for humid
ity research is known for it's pre-
cision. In the ceramics and
super-pressure fields, the COM
pany has excelled.
The facilities at Savage will be
used for electronics, mechanical
and optical work and moisture
engineering. At the outset, 100
persons are being employed there
Eventually, the staff will be in
creased to 500.
The highly-trained personnel
commands high salary scale,
for the employees include physi-
cists, engineers. biologists, min
eralogist and the most skilled
labor.
The two original partners are
still in active charge. William H.
Reynolds, at 68, is president and
chief engineer. Leopold Free
man, at 64. is vice president,
treasurer and general manager.
And now both are getting help
from their sons.

ported today.

chief organizations representing
door r-to-door statesmen - have
asked Jephtha j. Carrell, clerk
to the council, for time to pre-
sent two 15-minute speeches and
a number of 2-minute addresses.
Last August more than so
peddlers of vacuum cleaners,
corsets. home gadgets and the
like descended on the Arlington
County Board which was consid-
ering a similar, but less stringent
ordinance.
The Arlington Board hastily
postponed action on the ordi-
nance for further study"
Would Require License.
The proposed Montgomery or
dinance would require solicitors
statesmen who go from door to
door taking orders for future de-
livery-to apply for a license and
pay a $40 fee at the Office of
inspections and licenses.
Assistant County Attorney
John w. Neumann in a six-page
memorandum discussed the con-
stitutionality of the proposed or
dinance in the light of numerous
Supreme Court opinions on other
solicitor laws.
He said the ordinance was not
unconstitutional since it "is not
discriminatory, is an exercise of
the police power of the county
and does not impose tax bur-
den upon interstate commerce
but only requires the payment of
a fee sufficient to cover a por-
tion of administering and en-
forcing the regulation as to the
licensee."
