THIS AND THAT
Nv THAPfES r TPArEWEII


Temp Jones remembers the
time his older brother Jim
made the xylophone of large
green bottles.
The place was Ocean City.
Md, and the time, the famous
turn Of the century.
Jim was IL years old. and
an experimenter.
He was the first boy In his
old home town to take photog-
raphs. and the first to ride a
bicycle.
The summers spent at Ocean
City were revealing wonder
ment to the inland boys.
There was the sea, the sky
and the shore. just as they
welcome visitors today, except
in those times nobody had ever
heard of a hurricane alert.
No smart Weather Bureau
man had thought up the gag
of naming weather naanifesta-
tons after women.
Whoever he was. he must
have been q :ynic Of a sort. to
saddle defenseleSs womankind
with the names of great blowy
winds.
Just where the big green
bottles came from that his
brother Jim used, Templeton
Jones does not recall.
Probably spring water bot
ties, for the drinking water at
Ocean City was and is filled
with iron, so that many vis-
itors have a standing order Tor
spring water.
Empty, the bottles were ex-
ceilent material for q home
made xylophone.
Just where the idea came
from, Jones does not remem-
Der, either.
In all probability. not from
the young mind of Jim Jones.
Jim was a practical fellow.
even as a child.
He left the imagination to
Templeton. his 8.year-old
brother, who had enough and
to spare, as shown by his
chalking the single word "cat''
on the freshly painted frame
house of his grandfather. Or
turning the spigot of the kero-
sene container into the -four
barrel.
The row of big bottles, l6 in
number, was on the porch.
Porches, at a seaside resort,
take on aspects different from
those they manifest in cities
and even small towns.
The perpetual sea breeze. for
one thing. sweeps them clean.
Then there are the incessant
big rocking chairs, always
swaying gently in the breeze.
Sea breeze
What fine phrase, bringing
back "reminiscences to all those
who have ever loved them.
Much has been written over
the centuries, Of the sea and
its mighty winds. so that an
average reader would think
the shore did not participate
somehow. in the wind. But just
as the wind bloweth Us II
pleases, according to the OLD
poem, so 1t manages to make
its impression on the shore
too.

Dream and Substance

agreement, the flve-power United Ma
tions Disarmament Subcommittee has re-
cessed until after the Big Four foreign
ministers have had chance to review
the situation at their forthcoming meet
ing in Geneva. But this recess, unlike
others in the past, has been decided upon
in a good frame OF mind. For all the
subcommittee Notwithstanding the
Soviet delegate-have voiced hopeful
views that tend to support Harold Stas-
sens "cheerfulness" and his belief that
eventually there will be genuinely ef1ec-
tive international limitation and control
of armed forces and arms OF every KIND,
particularly atomic hydrogen weapons.
Meanwhile, wholly apart from dis
armament prospects, the world has rea-
son to derive real encouragement from
the fact that long step has just been
taken toward making reality OF PreSi-
dent Eisenhower's atoms for peace plan.
This step consists of completion OF
draft statute for the establishment OF
an International Atomic Energy Agency.
The statute has been agreed upon by the
eight nations that have Joined together
as charter members Of the prospective
organization-the United States, Britain,
France, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Por-
tugal and South Africa. The purpose OF
the enterprise, In which virtually all
countries would be eligible to participate,
is solely and simply to harness nuclear
power to bring great blessings to the
whole of mankind In such fields as indus
try, agriculture and health.
To that end, the statute emissions an
elaborate and altogether unprecedented
working organization that would be
directed by an annually elected 16-nation
Board of Governors, Ave Of whose mem
bers presumably permanently would be
the worlds leading atomic powers
France, Britain, the Soviet Union, Can
ada and the United States. This board,
which would receive recommendations
from yearly General Conference OF all
the states belonging to the agency as
whole, would be the chief executive Of
the worldwide atoms-for- peace pro-
gram, and it would arrive at It's decisions
by majority vote. As for the agency's
relationship to the U. NJ, that Is some-
thing that has yet to be defined precisely,
but it probably would be in specialized
category similar to that Of the World
Bank, for example, and certainly it would
not be subject to the Security Council
veto.
Because of this nonyeto feature, the
Russians may reject the draft statute,
though there have been some indications
to the contrary. Be that as 1t may, how
ever the statute itself needs to be ratified
by only the eight charter members to
bring the projected agency into actual
operation, and as soon as that happens,
as soon as the organization is in being,
the membership is bound to swell Thus,
although once regarded as little more
than a noble dream, the Presidents
atoms-for- peace plan is now becoming
thing of tangible substance. And 1t is
substance of sort that promises to pro-
mote not only the betterment Of men
everywhere but also the kind Of trust
breeding cooperation that can lead in
due course to true disarmament in q
world liberated from the fear Of an all
engulfing war of humiliation.

State and municipal financing
reached a new all-time peak of
$645 million during 1854 in the
Fifth Federal Reserve District,
which includes the National
Capital.
The record volume was 81 per
cent above the previous year and
raised the Fifth Districts pro-
portion of the national total to
9.3 per cent from 7.6 per cent in
the previous year. reported the
Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond today.
Practically all of the bond is
sues were for the purpose of OBJ
tanning new money. Only 0.3
per cent of the total was for re-
funding of outstanding obliga-
tionS, the bank added.
Listed os Moior Factor
The major factor in the in
crease was borrowing for con-
struction of new highways and
tunnels, which required $357 mil
lion or more than half Of the
total.
Bonds issued by Maryland and
its subdivisions in 1854 reached
a record 1921 million, more than
the total for the entire District
before the war and one-half of
the total for 1854.
