Evening star., 1954-05-06
By Joseph B. Byrnes

The bells that tolled through
out Holland marking The Meth
erlands liberation from the Nazi
yoke echoed across the Potomac
yesterday.
The pure tones of the 49-bell
carlton, set up temporarily on
the green expanse of West Po-
tomac Parks polo field, spoke
primarily to the parents of those
Americans who died liberating
his country, said DR.. L. G.. Kort-
enhorSt.
He came here to make a formal
presentation of the carlton yes
terday in the name of his people
to the people of America. He is
the chairman of Hollands Sec
ond Chamber of the States Gen.
eral, counterpart of Speaker OF
the House Joseph Martin, who
was present at the dedication
ceremonies.
DR.. Kortenhorst explained the
history of the carlton, known by
the Dutch as the BELLS for Amer
ica." Later they will be housed
in a tower across the river from
the Lincoln Memorial as a per-
manent mark of Hollands ap-
probation for our help during
the war and it's aftermath.
Each bell is decorated with an
emblem and represents the
Dutch community that donated
1t.
The biggest represents the An
tillean Islands, facing America
and the sea. The smallest, hard
ly larger than a tea cup, denotes
the Princess Marijke. youngest
daughter of Queen Julia11a.
Each bell is also inscribed with
a verse written by the Dutch
poet, Ben van Eysselsteijn. The
emblems were done by Mrs. E.
van der Grinten- -Lucker, Louis
Meijs and Gerard van Remme.
Three Dutch foundries cast
the bells, one of a set of 800 in
the world.
Yesterday was chosen for the
formal dedication because it was
exactly nine years before when
similar carillons in Holland rang
out the joyous news that the
Nazi army had been driven from
the homeland.
First to play the sweet-toned
bells was Ferdinand Thinner
mans, official Town Hall Caril-
lonneur of Rotterdam.

gentleman in his early Cos, wear

total gain of 10.6 percent over last
year.

instituted and will entail the in
oculation of approximately one
million second grade youngsters in
all parts Of the country, the re-
