drawn only in anger and were
not sheathed until blood had
been drawn.
Traditionally only members
Of the Samurai (warrior) clan
were qualified to handle them.
Before T. RS death in 1919.
there was no problem about
cleaning the swords. Accord
ing to family lore. the Japa-
nese Ambassador visited Teddy
at his Oyster Bay home and
personally supervised the
cleaning Of the steel weapons.
Now the trustees Of the
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial
Association in New York are
in a quandary.
The swords have developed
rust spots and the curator Of
arms and armor at the Met
ropolitan Museum recommends
they be returned to Japan for
cleaning.
But who in Japan is quail
fed to clean the swords?
In Washington the Japa-
nese Embassy is hard at work
on the matter. They have
queried the Foreign ONCE. All
sorts of debates have arisen
as to the age and history Of
the swords.
Before too long, however. the
collectors items should be on
their way to Japan for the
face-lifting.

terday criticized the site selec-
ton because it would mean
spending county tax funds for
Improvements.
Mrs. Anne Wilkins, supervisor
from Mason District. said the
county would have to pay for
sewage facilities and build
schools to handle increased en-
rollment from an influx of new
people. She also said road funds
would have to be diverted from
other areas of the county to
improve roads in the Langley

Job|ess Claims
Jump in Week

BALTIMORE, Dec. 9 R.-A
new series Of layoffs at the Fair
child Aircraft Division In Ha-
Igerstown and seasonal curtail-
ments in the construction, sea-
food and canning industries pro-
duced a big increase In claims
for unemployment benefits in
Maryland last week.
The State Department of En-
ployment Security reported to-
day there were 3,085 new claims
last week. This was by no means
the highest figure since the
employment picture took a sub
stantial turn for the better last
spring, but it was double the
low levels reached in September.
The 3,085 claims last week
compared with 2.160 the week
before. 4,454 in the correspond
ing week of 1854, and 1919 in
the week which bridged Novem-
Der and December in 1858.
A department spokesman
pointed out the seasonal layoffs
in the construction industry
were reflected in the increased
number of claims at Oakland,
Cumberland and Frederick.
Many of the layoffs. partic-
|ularly at Salisbury and Cam
bridge, were traced to the end
of the canning season.
A big jump at Crisfeld, to-
gether with some of the increase
at Cambridge, reflected decline
of activity in the seafood bust
ness.
The department reported it
paid out $191 Asst to 1910 eligi-
bles last week. The week before
1t was $168,247 to 7,189 who had
been laid of. In the correspond
ing week Of 1854 $528,551 was
paid out to 2l,134 persons with
out Jobs.

Dickerson PEPCO Site
Is Favored by Adams

Construction of a PEPCO
power plant on the Potomac in
the Dickerson area would re-
move all threats to the District
Corps of Engineers proposals
for river dams. Col. Ray Adams,
District engineer, said last night.
Col. Adams statement was
made in answer to a question
posed at an open meeting Of the
Montgomery County Planning
Association in Rockville.
Col. Adams said the up-river
sites would be out of the way
of the reservoir level that would
be established If the engineers
were authorized to build a
recommended food control and
water supply storage dam at
River Bend.
Sees Threat to Dam
The District engineer re-
peated his warnings that If the
proposed 500 million power
plant we're built on a Loudoun
County site originally selected by
PEPCO about seven miles above
River Bend the proposed dam
would be virtually ruled out of
the picture.
Robert B. Garrabrant, an in
dustrial engineer. told about 40
persons at the meeting that fears
of a large industrialized area "in
the shadow of the power plant"
were unwarranted. He said in
dustry needs better highways
and a larger labor supply than
can be found near the proposed
Loudoun site.
Former County Council Pres
ident j. Grahame Walker said
the County Council is interested
In having the plant located in
Montgomery primarily because
OF the tax return involved.
Smaller Streams Ruled Out
The speakers were in general
agreement on the necessity Of
locating the plant on the Po-
tomac itself and not on one of
It's tributaries. The smaller
streams. Mr.. Garrabrant said,
would not provide the needed
volume of water.

tional Capital Regional Plan

feet of the plants location on
the land use pattern of the en-
tire metropolitan area be con-
sidered.
Col. Adams said the District
Corps of Engineers early next
year would begin a preliminary
restudy of its flood control and
water supply proposals for the
Potomac.

Asiun Taxes Called
Investment Barrier

TOKYO, May l8 (P.-An
American tax attorney said to-

countries do not pass the test
when a United States business
man considers a foreign invest

There's not enough left after

Stand on Controls
Is Due in 10 Days

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., May
Is (P.-Dr. Arthur S. Flemming,
national director of mobilization,
says the Eisenhower administra-
ton plans to disclose within 10
days if Congress will be asked
for standby economic controls
for emergency use.
In a talk before the seventh
annual Rutgers University BuSi-
ness Conference yesterday, DR..
Flemming said practical plans
for price. wage, salary and con-
sumer credit controls might he
needed in a stepped-up mobiliza-
tion program short of actual at
tack. In case Of war, he added,
additional controls would be
necessary.
DR.. Flemming told the confer
ence that American industry has
poured $50 billion into defense
facilities in the last two years
which he called IAN amazing
story of how basic gaps in our
mobilization program were
closed"
The mobilization program, he
said. is predicated on the as
sumption that the United States
is living in an "age of peril
which will last 40 to so years;
that Russia is capable of attack
ing the United States. and that
a position of strength is neceS-
sary to deal with Communist
countries.
