lapse into retirement.
This momentum is read in the
trade as a sign that a new gen.
GRAFTON has discovered Carlo

thusiasm as did its parents.
Camille" is not great pic
ture although it was greatly
popular in its day. thanks to its
feminine star. It is not an ar
chaic one. however. Technically,
1t stands up rather well in its
black and : white photography
and small screen process. More
over, George Cukor's direction
has weathered the years SUI

quisite portrait of a famous lost
lady Of fiction.

Now, as then, Camille" is a
Carlo picture. 1t makes clear
how it was that she, for all her
shy aloofness, was the screens
first lady almost two decades.
She was a name and an enig-
ma, but even Dumas overblown
romance cannot conceal that she
could act and that she had a
radiance that produced beauty
as a sort of by-product. Her dis
tinction to this generation may
well be that she has nothing in
common with today's dubious
glamour girls.
Her appearance and perform
ance in Camille" make it clear
that she was in herself a kind
of classic unity. a model of the
virtue of everything in proper
ton, nothing to excess.
There is mute, but eloquent,
testimony in the film at the On
tario of a truth about CARLOS
impact that only her profession
al associates remember. This was
that MGM always had to turn to
the stage to find actresses coura-
geous enough, and confident
enough, to play subordinate fem
mime roles in her films. The two
here are the late Laura Hope
Crews and Lenore Uric. AS COM
pared with the subdued style of
Carlo. their own are big and
f1amboyant but the spectator is
only incidentally conscious of
others in the picture.
This is most notably true,
dramatically enough, of Robert
Taylor as Armand, the one man
in whose love Camille found
tragic reproof for the reckless
waste of her beauty. 1t was Tay-
lor's first major role and it re-
veals him to have been as ar
tistically callow as he was in
appearance.
The suggestion of Camille"
at this time is that it was con-
ceived (and soundly) as a box
office picture. Its Marguerite
Gautier, the lady of the camel
las, represents by no means
Carlos most challenging role.
It is concerned with love and
death, a dramatic combination,
but at rather a gaudy level save

the salt level hit $4,000 pounds
per acre. Dikes erected to re-
claim tidal land trapped the
tides boosted in by the hurricane.
DR.. Hester said farmers on
salt damaged land must use lime
super-phosphate and gypsum.
1t is advised. however, that
too much of such fertilizers may
increase the salts in dry soils,
thus intensifying crop damage.
Side dressing when plants are
mature was suggested, instead of
applying fertilizer at planting
time.
Using that method, j. S. Neild
of Taylors Island reports a 80
per cent normal crop of oats
from a field that tested 5000
pounds Of salt per acre.
The situation ''is not desper-
ate if farmers will treat their
soil" said DR.. Hester.
There have also been reports
OF salt damage to fruit trees and
grape vines. Some Norway apple
trees in the area were repeatedly
losing leaves as result of salt
spray in the air which damaged
buds.

Police to Air
FBI Dispute

BALTIMORE, June 20 (P.-
Col. Elmer F. Munshower, head
Of Maryland's State Police, plans
to look into the background of
friction between State Police and
the FBI which he admits has
been in existence for as long as
five years.
The dormant and unpublicized
discord erupted publicly Friday
night when Maj. William H.
Weber, acting superintendent in
the absence of the injured Col.
Munshower, accused the Federal
agency of being unco-operative.
D. K. Brown, agent in charge
Of the Baltimore FBI Office,
hurled the same charges back at
the State Police.
Col. Munshower injured his
back in a fall last winter.
He said over the week end
that he would try to trace the
trouble to the controversy's orr
gins and "see If this thing can't
be Strengthened out"
Mai. Weber complained that
FBI agents in Washington had
refused to run laboratory tests
on evidence brought to them by
q trooper.
He said the agents gave as a
reason for their refusal q mis-
understanding between the two
departments.

Alexandria's historic Old Town
section Is in for q major face
lifting II plans Of the Historic
alexandria Foundation are car
ried out.
The foundation, chartered last
October. is just beginning to get
organized and develop plans for
reaching its major objective
preservation of the city's his
toric landmarks.
Patterned after organizations
operating in other historic cities,
the Alexandria group plans to
do a restoration job which could
not be done by individuals.
The foundations charter per-
mits it to acquire property and
invest funds. The foundation,
administered by nine trustees,
hopes to attract enough capital
to acquire and restore the major
historic buildings in the city.
To Attract Tourists
A collateral aim Of the group
is to attract more tourists to the
city. Alexandria is the gateway
to the South. 1t also is the half
way point between Washington
and Mount Vernon" said Mag
mum Weeks, a member of the
board of trustees. IF we can de-
velop Alexandria's attractions. it
would give an enormous boost to
the business of the city," he said
Mr.. Weeks said the job of the
foundation is to acquire prop
erty that is too expensive for pri-
vate restoration. He said that a
survey by the Old Town Civic
Association showed there were
more than go points Of interest
that could be developed.
He pointed out that a city
ordinance passed in 1946 pro-
hibits the razing Of existing old
buildings (l840 or before) or the
construction Of new buildings in
the Old Town area without the
approval of an Architectural
Board Of Review. The Old Town
area runs from Patrick street to
Ithe Potomac River and from
Pendleton street to Hunting
Greek.

andria home restoration HIM

stored by individual owners. A
study by the Old Town Civic
Association shows that nearly
SO million has been spent in
this type of work. It is stated
in the study that the people
who live in these houses an
nually spend $5.6 million with
local business concerns.
Laudable Job
Individuals have done a
laudable job and the foundation
hopes to encourage this type OF
restoration while taking on the
big jobs ITSELF" Mr.. Weeks said,
Among the first objectives Of
the foundation Is survey Of
the city showing the number
of buildings constructed in each
historical period. This list
would be broken down into
those of historic Importance
nationally, locally and archi-
tecturally.
The first problem is to raise
enough money locally to show
t h at Alexandrians themselves
have an interest in restoration
on q large scale. Mr.. Weeks said.
eff we can convince some of
the big national foundations that
we have established firm base
of local interest, we may be able
to get contributions from them, F"
he said.
The foundation was formed by
the Alexandria Association, a
primarily historic group. Mem
bers of the association decided
about two years ago that an
independent trust should be
organized to undertake a syste-
matte restoration program. After
many months Of studying foun-
dations in Charlestown, 8. c.,
Annapolis. and in other cities, o
charter for the Historic Alex
andria Foundation was drawn
and approved by the State.
Nine trustees were elected-2l
are permitted by the charter
and the Alexandria Association
contributed $1,000 to start the
new group.
