Funds 10 Modernize
Smithsonian Souqht
By New Secretary
$1,105, 500 Is Asked
To Relieve Crowding
And Revise Display
By w. H. Shippen

The new secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution has
asked Congress to rescue the Ma
tion's store-house of treasures
and what-nots from a state of
dilapidation dating back to the
"horse and, buggy and gas light
era" ~
Describing the need for funds
as "desperate."- DR.. Leonard
Carmichael asked for an addi-
tional $1,105.500 next year to re-
lieve overcrowding hire an ade-
quate number of guards and to
modernize methods for display
ing the collection.
DR.. Carmichael pointed out
some of the American peoples
favorite possessions are still dis
played in a manner character
istic of the Centennial Exhibition
in Philadelphia" in the 1905.
Added Funds Approved.
The secretary told members OF
the House Appropriations Com
mittee, in testimony released to-
day. that the Bureau of the
Budget had approved added
funds for these purposes:
/. For the modernization of
some exhibits-$360, 900.
2. For building repairs and
additional guards-$350,500.
3. For storage space in Suit
land, Md, for aircraft and COM
ponents eventually to be dis
played in the National Air
Museum-$370,00O.
4. For catching up. on COM
mitments to exchange scientific
information with other coun-
tries, as provided by treaty
obligations-$25, 900.
DR.. Carmichael said that anti
quated exhibition cases can no
longer be made dust and mois-
ture proof, or reasonably secure
against thieves and vandals.
Dress Display Criticized.
For example, one of the in
stitution's most popular dis
plays-the collection of dresses
of the wives of Presidents-has
come in for frequent criticism
from visitors. DR.. Carmichael
said:
This is certainly the most
popular exhibit, Statistically
speaking, with half the popula-
tion-the ladies. They come in
great numbers. At present we
get many questions and many
criticisms of the way in which
this display is presented"
DR.. Carmichael estimated that
at least a million visitors a year

the Joint Committee says it al
ways prints exactly what it re-
ceives from the congressional
offices. Miss Adams says the
whole thing is silly C"sil'-ly'O
The Joint Committee refuses to
argue with a lady. Senator
Max -kar'ran is unavailable for
comment.
In addition to the Senator, two
other members of Congress list
phonetic spellings. Both are un-
derstandable. Representative F..
Edward Hebert, Democrat, of
Louisiana, informs the public
that his name Is pronounced
"A'-Bear." Representative Ed
ward John Robson, Democrat,
of Virginia. emphasizes that his
is "Rob'-e-son."

3 in Standards Bureuu:Urqe
Public Probe of Astin Case

The Star today is in receipt
of three IS bills and the fol-
lowing letter, signed Three Ma
tienal Bureau of Standards
Members:
I'VE are three members Of the
staff of the National Bureau of
Standards who are very anxious
to get. an impartial. objective,
evaluation of AD-X2 battery
additive. We know personally
that the overwhelming majority
Of the NBS staff feels the same
way. BY inference the technical
competence Of each and every
one Of us has been assailed,
whether we measure the in
tensity of atomic fission prod
ucts for the Acc or test tires
for the rubber industry, or trans
nit standard time signals so
that every mans watch can be
adjusted to keep accurate time.
Because we have been en-
Joined by the Secretary of Com
merce from discussing this mat
ter outside the bureau, we can
not approach an outside labora-
tory without being accused of
insubordination.
Tests Questioned.
Furthermore, tests sponsored
by either side in this controversy
will always be subject to sus-
picion. (For that matter, tests
run by any one laboratory might
be open to question: Further,
Secretary Weeks has indicated
that there may not be enough
money in the budget to pay for
these tests. We therefore appeal
to The Evening Star and your
self to help US out in this di-
lemma.
Our plan is simple. We are
sure that every NBS staff mem
Der would gladly contribute to a
fund to defray the costs Of these
tests. We feel sure that several
thousand dollars can thus be
raised which would enable The
Star to retain several independent
scientific laboratories of unques-
toned reputation; for instance
the Franklin Institute, the Bat
telle Memorial Institute and the
Armour Research Foundation.
If all three of these august bodies
ran independent tests and wrote
simple non-technical reports
which every automobile owner
could understand, then and only
then would all ambiguity be
erased from this controversy.
I'VE are confident that when
the results Of these tests have |
been laid before the Secretary
and President Eisenhower, both
Evening star., 1953-04-06

of these men will be big enough
to admit they have been misin-
formed in this matter and will
make every effort to repair the
damage that has been done to
DR.. Astin's personal reputation
and the scientific reputation of
the bureau.
Money InclOSed.
I'VE inclose SIS. 100 each to start
the fund off and earnestly re-
quest that The Star act as execu-
tors of the money contributed.
will you help us by publish
ing this letter, and its appeal to
all members of the bureau staff
who feel as we do, to contribute
to this fund? You will be doing a
great public service in keeping
with the best traditions of the
American press"
(EdiCor's note: The Star does
not believe it is the appropriate
sponsor Of an objective scientific
evaluation of AD-X2. It will
hold the three SIS bills and return
them to the contributors when
they identify themselves.
(The Bureau of Standards has
already conducted its own tests
and then renewed the tests
of the battery chemical in con-
troversy. The proper method of
eMluating the objectivity of the
Bureau of Standards tests is to
have them reviewed by the Board
of Visitors of the Bureau Of
Standards. The board, of course,
would designate the proper agen-
cy for review)

they were ready to return prison.
erS at the rate of 500 day.
The number of prisoners on
both sides who would be re-
turned was not known. But
U. N. command officers Won
dered if the Communists we're
offering to exchange those
prisoners who are so slightly
disabled that they would be in
eligible for repatriation now
under the Geneva convention.
The Communist liaiSon group
said it was prepared Ito repa-
triate all the sick and injured
prisoners of war entitled to be
directly repatriated or accom-
modated in a neutral country"
under the Geneva rules.
Might Be Stumbling Block.
These rules provide that sick
or wounded prisoners who might
be able to return to the fighting
within a year would be "accoS..-
modated in a neutral country"
What the Communists seemed
to be saying was that they also
were willing to surrender the
slightly injured or i'll. Or they
might be insisting on a neutral
nation as a sanctuary for some
of the sick and wounded, which
might form a stumbling block to
any quick action.
Allied liaiSon officers expected
to get more information on the
Communist plan at a second
meeting at II am. today g pm.
Monday, E.S.TD.
The Allied plan for speedy ex-
change of prisoners was part Of
a nine-point program handed
the Communists at yesterdays
45-minute session at Panmun-
JON. Allied officers said distinct
progress" was made and the
Communists were very objec-
tive"
Termination Date Proposed.
The U. N. also proposed that
a termination date be specified
in the exchange agreement.
Rail and highway conveys car
rying the prisoners to Panmun-
jom would be guaranteed free
dom from air attacks.
U. N. liaison officers reported
distinct progress" with very
objective" Red officers. A
smoothly accomplished trade
could pave the way for an arm
istice in Korea.
The U. N. also asked the Reds
for the number of Allied pris-
oners they are willing to return.
The Reds said they would sup
ply the number, but they took

dent Eisenhower and other Gov
ernment officials. The talks may

unity.
Expressing gratitude for Amer
ica'S help and kindness" to
Germany, he said: Very rarely
in past history has a victorious
people stretched out a helpful
hand towards the vanquished, as
you have DONE"
Confidence Of People Raised.
This sympathy and generosity,
DR.. Adenauer said, has raised
the spirit of the German people
and has given 1t confidence
again.
What seems especially impor-
tant to me, this has convinced
the German people that in the
life of nations, force and egotism
are not the only motive powers. p"
DR.. Adenauer said that Amer
ica's recognition of the obliga-
tions imposed by its power and
wealth, would be recorded with
golden letters" in the history of
our time, which contains so
many dark pages"
The Chancellor's remarks were
read from a prepared statement.
Asked what effects he thought
the Soviet Unions peace" drive
might mean to his country and
to others of the Atlantic defense
community, he said:
ION my return from WASH
ington I will be wiser than I
am now and then I will answer
all your questions"
DR.. Adenauer, who goes to
Washington tomorrow, will be in
this country for 13 days.
He said he plans visits at
universities here and in Chicago,
and plans to fly to the West
Coast Ito get some idea Of the
magnitude of your country"
At the Waldorf Astoria Hotel,
where he is stopping here, a
German flag flew alongside the
American standard for the first
time in more than a decade.

States High Commissioner for

Adenauer'S conferences with the

DR.. Conant, who plans to ac-
company DR.. Adenauer on his
trip across the country, said on
his arrival that he has seen no
dramatic changes" in the cold
war in Germany in the eight
weeks he has been there as high
commissioner.

-Four Indicted Here
In All Cases Given
To Jury by Police
Phantom Bandit AMONG
Defendants Accused of
Series of Crimes

-Four accused robbers-includ-
ing the AWOL airman de-
scribed as the phantom bandit"
of Southeast Washington-today
were indicted on all cases pre-
sented to the grand jury by
police.
Handling of these cases
marked a distinct departure
from the old practice of accept
ing only a few of the cases
where police accused the de-
PENDANTS of q series of crimes
The former process of elimina-
ton by which a defendant ac-
cused of many crimes eventually
is punished for only one or two
has been described in a Star
series of articles as an invita-
ton to crime"
Men accused of a series of
crimes and indicted on all the
cases presented by police were
Samuel B. Lewis, jr., 10, COL
ored, AWOL Boiling Air Force
Base airman, accused of may
hem and assault with intent to
commit robbery in one case, as
sault with intent to commit rob-
berry in a second case and rob-
berry in five others.
Bernard P. Hockoday, 10, COL
ored, and Herbert L. Roy, 81, COL
ored, indicted together in four
robbery cases. In three of them,
women were tied up and gagged
in their homes.
James r. Jackson, 20, colored,
accused of the armed robbery of
two shoe stores.
Two New Charges Added.
The grand jury also added
another housebreakihg and lar
ceny case to the three indict-
ments returned gainst two
brothers last week. B4t It ignored
another two housebreaking and
larceny case against one of the
brothers and a charge of assault
on a policeman against the other
brother.
Lewis, who lives in the $500
block Of Shannon place S. E.,
was described by police as one of
the most vicious robbers they
had ever seen. Most of the vic
TINS of the phantom bandit"
needed hospital treatment after
being knocked to the ground and
robbed.
On February 26 Lewis fell into
a trap set by 10 plain clothesmen
who had been watching for him
for two weeks. Police said be-
fore they could intervene he
leaped on Lewis Manning, 81, of
the TOO block of A street Sc.
and was beating his head on
the pavement when police
rushed up with drawn pistols.
