From Cairo to Israel

TEL AVN. Israel. May 13 up.
United States Secretary of
State Dulles and Foreign Aid
Chief Harold Stassen arrived in
Israel from Cairo today on their
Middle East tour.
They plan 28-hour visit in

tryside for an hour to give the
Americans a panorama view of
this new nation.

join their husbands in Athens

| British Commandos
Quit Malta as Tension
With Egypt Mounts
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, May 13.-Three
| landing craft loaded with British
royal marine commandos sailed
under secret orders from the
Mediterranean fortress island of
Malta last night as the tense
British-Egyptian dispute over
the vital Suez Canal zone
Worsened.
There was no official an
nouncement of the troops des-
tination. but speculation imme-
diately arose that they would
reinforce Britain's Suez garrison.
Egypt's Premier, Maj. Gen.
Mohamed Naguib, has threat
ened to oust British forces from
the zone with Egyptian blood if
necessary,
The British admiralty report
ed that the 8.00O-Jon light
cruiser Bermuda is now at Port
Said, in the canal zone, but de-
clined to comment on unofficial
reports that four royal navy
destroyerS - Chieftain, Cheviot,
Chequers and Chevron - had
been rushed to the area.
.Ambushes Charged.
The announcement came short
ly after Minister of State SelWyn
Lloyd told the House of Com
mons that British soldiers in
Egypt have been "ambushed,
shot and assaulted" in some 80
attacks since the beginning of
April.
In Cairo Egyptian Minister of
National Guidance Fuad Galal
said Lloyd's statement distorted
the facts" and added that the
Egyptian government would
answer the British minister.
Reports from Port Said, at the
canals northern end, said Brit
ish troops were digging trenches
at several points in the zone and
have set up tank-supported mil
ltary guards at certain cross
roads.
Talks at StandStill.
! British-Egyptiar talks over
Egypts demand for the with
drawal of the 10000 British
troops in the canal zone came
to a halt last Wednesday when
London's negotiators demanded
that some 5000 British techni-
clans remain to keep the vast
military installations in readi-
ness.
The Egyptians refused, main
tanning they could do the Job
themselves with only 500 British
technicians.
Fuad Galal told a news con-
ference in Cairo last night that
the stalemated talks "can re-
sumo only on the basis of Egypt's
stand, which has not changed
unconditional evacuation of the
Suez base and full Egyptian
control of it"
Dulles Visits Cairo.
The hot dispute has been a
chief concern of United States
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles. who left Cairo today on
a fact-finding tour of the Near
and Middle East with Foreign
Aid Director Harold Stassen.
Confronted on all sides by in
creasing evidence that neither
Britain nor Egypt was in yield
ing mood. Mr.. Dulles has con-
ferred twice with Naguib and
Nasser. Mr.. Dulles in state
ment Monday called for "phased
| withdrawal of foreign troops"
from the canal zone but added
that the zones huge bases
should remain in good working
order and be available for i'm
mediate use on behalf of the
free world in the event of fu-
ture hostilities."

Zoo Asks Sat, 200 in IS
For Park Office, Aid Station

The National Geological Park
wants $467,000 in fiscal 1855 to
build two new buildings.
One would house a Park Police
Office, f1rst-aid station and lava
tories. 1t would be centrally To-
Gated and would cost $197, 900.
The other proposed structure
is a replacement for the out
dated, remotely-located admin
istration building near the Adams
Mill road gate. The new one,
to be located just inside the Con-
necticut avenue gate, would cost
$270,000, according to estimates.
VentiIating System Asked.
Last year, fiscal 1854, all the
Zoo got by way of capital outlay,
was a $4,000 steam line from
the central heating plant to the
bird house.
Also included in the expense
estimate for fiscal 1855 is $4,000
for improving the ventilating
system in the bird house. Ven
tilation of this building which
dates from 1923, has "never been
satisfactory" according to the
estimates.
Other Zoo items requested in
clude an additional $500 to pro-
vide more vitamins for the 2,800-
odd animals; $4,000 more to meet
the increased cost of horsemeat,
fish and fodder; $2,750 to hire
full-time tree trimmer, to do
preventive work among aging
trees that more and more are
becoming a hazard to Zoo
patrons; $2.552 for a laborer to
assist the proposed tree trimmer;
a scientist and a veterinarian
each at $5,940 yearly and a total
of three Storekeepers ana clerks
at an aggregate of nearly $10,-
600 per year.
Total of S1,144,757
The total Zoo budget estimate
is 81 ,444.757.
National Capital Parks seeks
$2,463,900 for fiscal 1955-up
nearly 100000 over the current
fiscal year-to meet the need of
adequately caring for the 1894
acres under its jurisdiction, buy
ing new equipment and providing
the services of the Park Police.

New Inspector
Three Captains
Rasmussen, HefIin,
limbaugh Mentioned
For BuIIock's Job
Xxx Mn A-29
BY J. Theodore Crown

The names of three captains
emerged today as leading possi-
bilitieS to succeed Albert I. Bull
lock, fired by the Commissioners
from his job as a police inspec-
tor.
They are: So
Capt. Irwin H. limbaugh, 81,
temporarily assigned as head Of
No. precinct.
Capt. Henry H. Heflin, 48, in
charge of No. 3 precinct.
Capt. Thomas Rasmussen, Al.
permanent head of No. / pre-
cinct and now attending the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Academy through November 20.
Delay Is Expected.
It is expected there will be
some delay in making a promo
ton to inspector. This is due
partly to the fact that promo
tionS are made coincidental with
paydays and there may not be
enough time to process a pro-
motion by next Wednesday, the
police payday.
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
is in Chicago attending the an.
nual convention of the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs Of
Police, and probably will make
no decision until he returns.
Capt. Umbaugh'S superiors de-
scribe his police record as ex-
cellent. He has been an officer
above the rank of sergeant for
longer than any of the other
captains, although three are
above him in seniority as cap
tain.
Little Weight to Seniority.
Observers pointed out, how
ever, that recent police promo
tionS have given little weight to
seniority.
Capt. Heflin, who has been a
policeman since 1927, heads what
police informally call the drag"
precinct. This is No. 3 precinct,
in which the White House is
located. During the past %
years all of its captains except
one have risen higher. Notable
among them are former Police
Chiefs Robert j. Barrett and Ed
ward j. Kelley.
Capt. Rasmussen, a native Of
Ireland, has held his present rank
since May /, 1850. He joined the
police department in 1881, after
his arrival here following hitch
in the British Navy.
Other Promotions Planned.
There are other promotions
pending, including new captain
to help out in the morals squad.
The recent appropriations bill
included provision for a second
captain there.
Lieutenants on the civil serv-
ice promotion list are keeping an
uneasy eye on the clock because
of the delay in making the pro-
motions. A new examination is
in the making and probably will
be given next month. This could
reshuff1e the eligibility list.
However, two recent appoint
ments were not from the top Of
the eligibility list. They are
Capt. John Ryan, head of the jul
venile squad, and Capt. Thomas
v. Slominski, liaison officer be-
tween the Police Department and
the courts.

18 Voices Sound Rebel Yell Tonioht
By jones 6. Deone

It's a good thing for timid art
lovers that the National Gallery
of Art will be closed at pm. as
usual today, for somewhere
around 10 pin. the sedate gal
lerieS are going to resound to
something frightening.
Eighteen male voices are going
to let loose with a rebel yell.
Last June, concluding a series
of American music concerts,
Richard Bales, the gallery's mu-
sic director. introduced a new
piece called "The Confederacy."
1t included a number of catchy
tunes relating to the War be-
tween the States, but the thing
that brought the house down
was a final, blcodcurdling yell.
The yell made the news COL
umns, and one of the people who
read about it was Goddard Lie
berson, executive vice president
OF Columbia Records, Inc.
Recording Starts.
Last night Mr.. Lieberson
showed up at the gallery where
Mr.. Bales had reassembled his
musicians. Some engineers sat
down at some recording equip
ment, the musicians picked up
their instruments and 1.-The Con-
federacy"-including the yell
started on the way to going
down to posterity.
Mr.. Lieberson decided to re-
cord the work because he has
always wanted to make a record
for the South.
There's never been an at
tempt at aural representation of
the Civil War" he said. He
plans, therefore, to add com
mentary-by a distinguished
Southerner-to the music.
Columbia Engineers Harold
Chapman and Adjutor Theroux
worked all-day yesterday trans
forming the gallery's West Gar
den Court into a recording stu
dio. They laid celotex boards on
the marble floors and hung can
vas at the doors and between
the towering pillars.
And a makeshift control room,
with tape recorders, monitor
loud-speaker and a telephone
communicating with the podium,
was set up in nearby hallway,
next to statue of the Allegory
of Victory. Microphones were
placed amid the gardens potted
palms.
Three Hour Session.
The session started at 7:30
and continued for three hours.
1t wasn't exactly all smooth
sailing. though.
Hardly had "The Bonnie Blue
Flag" got under way when Per-
sonnel Manager Samuel Field
man called a halt. The double
bass player was missing.
A hasty call to his home dis
closed the player had his dates
mixed and thought the first ses-
sion was tonight. While he raced
to make up for lost time, the
musicians rested.
Eventually the bass player ar
rived and the recording tape be-
gan moving again. But Mr.. Lie
berson decided the bonnie flag
should seem to come and go as
if marchers were passing, so it
was done again. Later the drum
mer had some troubles. Even
tually he turned his drum Ca
genuine Civil War relic belong
ing to the Bales family upside
down to get a proper micro
phone sound.
General Lees Grand March"
and Cali Quiet Along the Po-
tomac Tonight" with contralto
soloist, followed. After one take,
Mr.. Bales called out over the
loud-speaker rather quickly, and
Mr.. Lieberson warned:
Richard, be sure you don't
speak too soon at the end.
Beecham once said very good.
gentlemen, and we had to leave
it on the record"
At 10:30 o'clock the session
ended with ID minutes and 81
seconds of finished music re-
corded.
Tonight, the rebel yell.

Bullock Loses Move
To Get on Pension
List Immediately

Albert I. Bullock, dismissed po-
lice inspector, today lost a fight
to be placed Immediately on the
police pension rolls.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff re-
fused Bullock's request that the
District government be required
to start paying him a retirement
annuity at this time.
Judge Holtzoff said he would
dispose of a motion filed by the
corporation counsel before he
would enter an order on the pen
sion question. The motion was
filed Monday.
Cites Favorable Order.
His ruling in U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia came on a plea by Charles E.
Ford, Bullock's lawyer. Mr.. Ford
said the court should put into
effect the order it issued June "a,
which was favorable to Bullock.
That order would assure Bull
lock of a pension. But Judge
Holtzoff stayed the entry of
judgment, pending a trial board
hearing for the inspector. The
hearing has been held and Bull
lock was convicted of three
charges which led the Commis-
sioners to fire him Monday.
The corporation counseI then
filed the motion asking Judge
Holtzoff to reconsider the ruling
of last June. contending the in
spector no longer was a member
of the police department, draw
ing salary. The change of status,
the corporation counsel said,
cancels Bullock's pension rights.
Brief Answer to Ford.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton Norman appeared in
court today for the city, and
spoke only briefly in answer to
Mr.. Ford. Judge Holtzoff indi-
Gated he would pass upon the
pending question the week of
