Britisher
Is Guest
OfLeogue
By Ruth Dean

A young woman member OF
the British Parliament met yes
terday with a group from the
District League of Republican
Women to compare notes On
British and American women
political party workers.
The occasion was a luncheon
given at the Capitol Hill Club
by Mrs. Edmund S. Kocher-
sperger, president of the league.
in honor of Miss Patricia Horns
by-Smith, a Conservative mem
of the House of Commons.
Miss Hornsby Smith, who is
also parliamentary secretary to
the Minister Of Health, is in
this country under the State
Departments Educational Ex-
change Program. While here
she will visit hospitals. medical
and dental schools, psychiatric
clinics and health agencies.
British women play an active
role in politics, she pointed out,
because they work together with
the men in the party organiza-
ton. I'm both parties (ConServ-
ative and Labor it is possible
to have a woman at the top of
the whole party machine" she
told the Republican women.
She added. however, that
though there are 5000 women
on county councils throughout
Britain and 81 women mayors,
"it is not always easy to get a
woman nominated for a parlia-
mentary district"
Miss Hornsby- Smiths own
victory in 1850 was hailed as a
significant one by her party be-
cause the Chislehurst Division
she represents has been tradi-
tionally held by a Labor can
didate.
Miss Hornsby- Smith, who is
a charming, outspoken redhead,
didn't hesitate to blame the
women of her country for not
putting more of their own sex
in high political posts.
When the choice comes up
between a man and a woman
candidate" she declared, "our
own sex will give the man the go
every time"
Miss Hornsby Smith voiced
high praise for Britain's ma
tionalized health program, de-
claring that contrary to original
fears that volunteer work would
drop off, "there is more scope
for volunteer work than ever
before" She added that there is
a substantial proportion" of
women on all ID regional boards
appointed by the Ministry of
Health.

Montgomery Plans
Limited Participation
In Air Raid Alert

The Maryland Civil Defense
Agency disclosed that Montgom-
cry County is the only county
that has refused to participate
fully in a State wide practice air
raid alert during the week of
September 20.
Peter Lawson-J Johnston, the
agency's public information Off
Ger, in a pointed release, said the
county has declined to comply
with the States request for full
participation.
The practice alert, named
Operation Checkup," is de-
signed to educate the public on
what it should do when the red"
warning alert of an imminent
air attack is sounded.
According to the State agency,
the county has agreed to sound
some so sirens during the trial
alert but has declined to go along
with the plan to stop all traffic
and require people to take cover.
Fears Traffic BedIam.
MONTGOMERY Public Safety Di-
rector Arthur E. Miller, in
charge of the county's civil de-
fense paper setup," yesterday
said the county council decided
several weeks ago to participate
in the alert only on the limited
basis. Mr.. Miller added he had
been informed that several coun-
ties would not stop traffic dur
ing the three-minute alert and
the three e-minute simulated at
tack.
Mr.. Miller said the Districts
CD. director, John E. Fondahl,
had informed Maryland officials
that Washington would not par
ticipate in the alert. For this
reason, the Montgomery director
added. he could see only confu-
sion and criticism if Montgom-
cry County stopped traffic at the
District line during the test.
And there's the matter of in
terstate buses and trucks" he
said. eff we cause some people
to miss train or plane schedules
it seems to me we would be sub
jeet to a lot of criticism for
something which we could not
fully justify.
He has asked the police and
fire departments to send such
equipment as they can safely
spare to designated locations
and sound their sirens during
the test. The county has not
erected "a air-raid sirens which
are on hand, he said.
Prince Georges TO Act.
The Prince Georges civil de-
tense director, however, yester-
day announced the county would
participate fully and all drivers
would be required to pull to the
side during the simulated raid.
The county council minutes
of August II reveal that, in
closed session, the councilmen
had agreed to participate in the
civil defense raid. The minutes
gave no explanation of extent
of participation.
According to Prince Georges
County, Operation Checkup is
set for 2:01 pm. September %.
Montgomery and State civil
defense officials have disagreed
on a number of occasions on the
type of program to be set up.
Last year Montgomery appro-
priated $4,000 for its CD pro-
gram and some unSpent funds
were carried over into this years
budget but no new appropria-
ton was made.

Cherished HerIooms Given for Silver Sprino Church
BY Mark Gnerro

Parishioners Of st. Camillus,
Catholic Church, Silver Spring,
want the utensils for divine wor-
ship to come from their most
cherished possessions.
Widows and widowers have
been giving wedding rings to the
Rev. James P. Grace, pastor of
st. Camillus' Church, to make q
monstrance, a portable recep-
tacle used to display the sacra-
ment at church services.
In addition to the IS wedding
rings in Father Grace's collec-
ton, there are a dozen engage
ment rings, some with tragic
stories behind them. The par
entS Of girl who died shortly
before her June wedding this
year wanted the rings to 60 into
the sacred vessel as a memorial.
Father Grace started making
appeals for precious metals and
gems about five months ago. He
was surprised at the response.
News Of his project spread far
beyond st. Camillus' parish, and
heirlooms and jewelry began
coming from friends and rela-
tiveS in Pennsylvania and former
pariShionerS in Baltimore, South
ern Maryland and Washington.
Estimates Of the value of the
collection run up to $1,000, ac-
cording to Father Grace.
There are rosaries, religious
and military medals, class rings,
scholarship pins, including one
dated 1857; bracelets, necklaces,
watches, cuff links, table silver, a
watch which belonged to the
priests father. and even a Ma
sonic lapel pin.
Collecting valuables to make
into church vessels is not un-
known, Father Grace says. In
fact, his mothers wedding ring
has been melted into the gold
chalice he uses for saying mass.
The monstrance project, how
ever, is the most ambitious he
has heard of.
Jeweler Thomas Clifford of
Baltimore probably will be given
the job of melting down the metal
and molding the monstrance. The
gems will be used as external
decoration. The size and design
will depend largely on how much
Father Grace collects.
The community spirit which
has marked collection for the
monstrance is characteristic of
the parish which was set up just
two years ago. In spite Of its
newness, it is ready to embark
on an impressive building pro-
gram this winter, which calls
for construction Of an eight-room
school, convent and parish hall
seating 600 persons. Members of
the church have been attending
services at the Langley Theater,
or at the rambling rectory-
chapel at 870l Carroll avenue.
Father Grace says he has been
offered cash for several items in
the collection, but has turned it
down. He explains that people
who have donated valuables and
heirloomS have done so with the
idea of having them become part
Of sacred vessel, and he intends
to see to it that their wishes are
followed.

CHICAGO. July Cornelius

for a crime committed II years

He was charged with escaping
from the Placerville County Jail
in California in 1886 while await

statutory rape.

Axelson stressed that while OPP
posing extension of the Park into
Monroe County, he and other own
ers favor drilling within the park.
1T is not commonly understood
that the oil companies can drill in
70 percent of the park area until
1858. If oil is discovered in the
Park area by 1858, they can contin-
ue to drill forever. Drilling is TAX,
ing place within the park. It is
only in the Unbiased area of the
Everglades National Park that the
companies haven't the right to
drill.

Alexson said that in 1949, the
