WITH BILL LEETcH

Last Thursday was "mop-up"
day on regulated pheasant shoot
ing farms in Maryland, and q
lovely day it was. We went out
to c. c. (Nick) Stephens Trig-
galand Kennel and Game Farm
at Brookeville for the occasion
and found that due to the yicis-

the only shooters on hand ex-

were leaving. one belated new
conner, with his own hunting
dog, came to put in the day
However. Nick and your scribe,

and his pet riding horse. Lady,
worked off by ourselves. The
morning was cool, sun shining,

comfort.
Lady is an institution at Trig-
galand. She's built cowpony

for we met with our first acct

While it was very minor, it could
have caused us some grief. ex-

We were about to call it a
morning. having downed three
cocks and two hens, when Coady
pointed in some honeysuckle. AS
we walked up, a hen pheasant
scutteld out and made off at a
fast clip down wire fence-line.
Nick and Coady cornered her A.
nally, but she refused to fly and
broke out again heading back
up the fence-line. AS we got
under way to try to cut her off
SO she'd fly, we stepped on a
hummock and pulled a muscle
in the calf of our right leg, get

we almost fell on our face. Coady
and Nick finally got the pheas-
ant up, we both shot at it in
turn and downed it, and Nick
brought up Lady for us to mount
and ride into the farm house,
saving us about a mile of other
wise painful hiking.
After a delicious lunch served |
by Mrs. Stephens, we decided it |

HONGKONG, May de-
velopments since the Asian
African conference have sobered
some of the Vests initial en-
thusiasm about its accomplish
ments at Bandung.
Western diplomats originally
cheered what assuredly was a
moral victory. 1t was a moral
victory simply because pro West
ern delegates stood off Commu-
mist neutralist maneuvers bet
ter than most Westerners ex-
pected.
The final communique. pep
pered with pro-Western as we'll
as anti-Western clauses, failed,
however, to reflect the tremen-
dous impact Red China Premier
Chou En-lai had on delegates
who never before had dealt with
a top Communist in the flesh.
He Lulled Some
This impact is now beginning
to show. One post-conference
poll of II chief delegates pro-
duced this summary: Chou
didn't convert a single pro-
Westerner to communism. But
he lulled some. And delegates
who previously had been leaning
to the left now have a full
blown tilt"
The Prime Ministers of three
countries Ceylon, Indonesia
and Egypt-accepted Mr.. Chou's
invitation to visit Red China,
Others are expected to sign up
for the junket, which presum-
ably will have some impact on
their thinking.
Another SOLDERING development
is the at least temporary COL
lapse of the prestige of India and
Prime Minister Nehru. In other
circumstances the United States
might welcome this development
because MI. Nehru has been one
of our toughest problems in Asia.
| The fact is pertinent, however
that after the Bandung confer

Educator Trapped
By Boulder Inside
Cave Is Rescued

CENTER, KY, May 7 (P.-A
45-year-old school principal,
trapped for hours in cave he
was exploring with a young stu
dent, was rescued late today.
Angelo Fanchier was taken to
a Glasgow hospital where doctors
said he had a broken back.
The student. Tommy Jeffries,
Is, escaped earlier and notified
police of Mr.. Fanchier's plight
Young JeffrieS said Mr.. Fam
chier attempted to move a
boulder, and it rolled on him. He
was pinned by the back. He re-
mained conscious although in
jured.
Rescuers succeeded in moving
the one-ton boulder with hy-
draulic jacks.
At least a thousand persons
were reported to have assembled
at the cave mouth.
Mr.. Fanchier's plight brought
back memories of Floyd Collins,
who was trapped and died in a
Kentucky cave 80 years ago
while on an exploration trip.

friends that he and Mr.. Chou
were competitors for influence
in Asia. While the United States
has little taste for Mr.. Nehru's
type of influence it is no comfort
to have him fall into the back
ground only to be replaced by the
unsavory Mr.. Chou.
Try to Soothe Feelings
Mr. Nehru's top foreign pol
icy adviser, v. K. Kmshna Me-
non, is off for Piping to try to
soothe East-West feelings. This
adds prestige to Mr.. Krishna
Menon, perhaps at the expense
of Mr.. Nehru at home.
You can spend five hours in
private conversation with Mr.
Krishna Menon and never hear a
word critical of Mr.. Chou, Red
China or communism in general
He sees no threat of Communist
expansion in Asia.
Thus. it is as disadvantageous
to the West to have Mr.. Nehru
lose ground domestically to Mr.
KriShna Menon as to have him
lose ground internationally to
Mr.. Chou. Yet this may be what's
happening.
Another ominous outgrowth G.

This adds strength to the sug.

have won moral victory during
that brief period of the Bandunl

to be at bat. He's a dangerou:

The man who was everywhere

last night to meet President
Eisenhower at the Gridiron Club
banquet. The President, in his
earlier capacity as a general,

No one else was, either. Kill
roy was the soldier who left
those ''Kilroy was here" scrawls

The Kilroy who appeared at
the Gridiron party is M/Sergt.
George A., veteran of North
Africa and the hina-Burma-
India Theater. He's just as
confused as anybody else on
who the original" Kilroy was.
All he knows is that in the
USO in Oran, North Africa, in
1912, he signed a guest book. A
hostess said: "Oh! So Kilroy's
really here!"
The sergeant looked up on the
wall and saw, for the first time,
the words he's seen so many
times since.
Whoever the original" Kilroy
was. he preceded Sgt. George A.
Kilroy.
Last night he was introduced

Lack Of Space
Proving Costly
For District
New Administration
Building Could Save
On Toxes, Upkeep
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG

Ine District is losing many
thousands of dollars a year in
taxes and costly maintenance of
ancient buildings because it
keeps postponing construction of
at least one new administration
building, The Star learned last
night.
Even some District officials,
previously so discouraged by the
Districts financial plight that
they couldn't think of more
spending. now acknowledge that
the District can't postpone a de-
cision much longer on how to
cope with it's growing pains.
They are ready to take anoth-
er look at several different build
ing proposals prepared last year
by the Advisory Space Assign
ment Committee but never made
public. These proposals en-
vision finally making use of the
land bought a quarter-century
ago for municipal center which
was never completed.
To Match Present Center
These proposals include:
l. Construction of the second
half Of the municipal center-a
building to match the existing
one at 300 Indiana avenue NV.
In the proposed new building.
called the West Administration
building, and in the existing one,
called the East Administration
building, would be housed the
administrative, legal and tech
nical personnel of the District
government.
2. Construction of a Metropol-
itan Police headquarters, includ-
ing the First Precinct station. in
the block below the proposed
West Administration building
and across from the Federal
Courthouse. One wing would be
the uncompleted Central Library
building.
3 Possible use of the District
Building as a combined adminis-
tration building for the Board Of
Education and the Recreation
Board.
General Agreement on Need
Schuyler Lowe, District direc-
tor of general administration,
told The Star yesterday that he
will ask for more detailed infor-
nation from his officials on
space needs and costs. With
that in hand, he said, he will
go to the Commissioners for a
decision on whether they want
detailed survey now or consider
1t premature. He stressed that
there is general agreement on
the need for more space but
money has been the stumbling
block.
The detailed survey, he ex-
planned, would consider the an
ticlpated growth OF the city ana
what that means in terms of
District employees and services,

ment should be housed together.

proposals would cost, what agen-

ClamOr for U. S. Ear
The conference which opened
here this afternoon was no eX-
ception. Western leaders have
met in the past in far more crit

seldom has been an occasion
when so many people we're clam

Just exactly what Is supposed

primary excuse for the gather
ing is. of course, the meeting Of

where Germany will be well
coined with appropriate -four

The one thing everyone agrees
on. however. is that this formal
ity will be the least important
thing that happens and that
once again NATO business will
be showed out of the spotlight
by other issues under discussion.

focal point of the conference is
not centered on Europe at all
