On S4.8 Billion Aid Plan

West and SEATO in the East.
Although the United States is
not a member of the pact. it
strongly supports it, has sent
observers to its meetings, and
has joined the economic COM
mittee of the pact.
Mr.. MCGUIRE said its military
power is not yet great, but a
good foundation has been laid.
Stephen P. Dorsey, an official
of the International Co-opera-
ton Administration, pointed out
that $1.2 billion of the new for
Ieign aid authorization is for the
Near East, Africa and South
Asia.
Another witness yesterday was
Assistant Secretary of State
George v. Allen, who told the
committee that while Soviet
tactics have changed in the last
year, the Soviet objective of
eliminating all Western influ-
ences in the Middle East and
dominating it themselves has
not changed.
Mr.. Allen said large-scale de-
Iliveries of Soviet arms to Egypt
increases pressure to strengthen
Israel military forces.
1.-THE frightening prospects of
a devastating arms race or even
Ia resurgence of hostilities are
thus enhanced" said Mr.. Allen.
United States policy is aimed at
the achievement of a peaceful
and equitable settlement of the
Arab-Israel differences"

April in Alexandria
Time to See Ghosts

to return on occasions during
the evening dinner hour.
This genial scene depicts an
aggregation of phantom like
figures. One. clad in buff and
blue, walks through a closed
door as ii it weren't there.
Two are across the table from
a young woman who holds up
a wine glass in a toast to the
spirits. There is even ghostly
brick barn that can be seen
though the doorway in the
bright moonlight.
Tales of the ghosts at
Spring Garden and the Revo-
lutionary spy are recorded in
Gay Montague Moore's book,
Seaport in Virginia" Mrs.
Van Swearingen pointed out.
Miss Anne Lewis Jones,
present owner of the Blue
Door tells the story of the man
who gave up his room after
being frightened in the night
by an old lady shaking her
fist.
The present resident of the
Craik House, Mrs. Una Frank
lin Carter. firmly told the art
list that the alleged humming
of Jennifer's spinning wheel
is but the effect of a draft,
Mrs. Van Swearingen reported.
But her favorite is The
Captains Lady" which might
be partly because she. too, is
a Captains lady. Her hus-
band, Navy Capt. E. K. Van
Swearingen is currently sta
toned herel.
Read Saga
This was the first of Alex
andria's ghosts to swim into
her consciousness the artist
said. Her interest started when
she read in a newspaper of
the sea captain and his wife,
who had a home on Red Hill
which they called The An
chorage.
The sailors wife would
watch from the doorway as
he walked to the river where
his ship was anchored, and
then watch for his return.
After one voyage he failed to
return and. on hearing the
news, she went into the gar
den and shot herself.
Since then, SO the story goes,
the ghost of the sailors widow
wanders over the hill, tall and
slender, with a cloak over her
shoulder.
I'm not psychic" Mrs. Van
Swearingen said, But I kept
seeing the captains lady after
I learned her story. And I'm
very sure that the cloak she
is wearing is red"
Now that she has become in
terested in Alexandria's ghosts
the artists collection seems
destined to grow because she's
already heard about a second
Revolutionary soldier - but
that will be another painting.
In the meantime, those in
the Alexandria Library will re-
main on exhibit through April.

The ghosts of Alexandria are
more friendly than eerie-at
least those now appearing in
the Alexandria Public Library.
Nor could one actually claim
there is anything uncanny
about their visitation.
Artist Babs Van Swearingen,
whose paintings and prints are
being featured in the current
art exhibit at the library,
thought they'd like to be on
hand while SO many early resi-
dents of the historic Virginia
city are being portrayed in an
other pictorial display-"Our
Town, 1749-1865'-at Gadsby's
Tavern.
The ghosts seemed to like
the idea.
The artist said they gave her
little difficulty when she at
tempted to conjure in her
minds eye the likenesses Of
some of the most popular Of
Alexandria's legendary appari-
tons.
Must See One
II can't paint a ghost unless
I can see it, Babs Van Swear
ingen explained when she was
preparing for the art show.
BY the time the exhibit
opened. however, she had seen
wildly enough to portray in
water color a ghostly collection
including:
/. The Captains Lady of
Red HILL" who from time to
time is reported wandering
near the garden where she
shot herself many years ago on
learning that her husband had
been lost at sea.
Q. Jennifer Craik. the engag-
ing daughter of DR.. Craik who,
some claim, can be heard now
and then at the old spinning
wheel in the attic Of the DR..
Craik House at 210 Duke
street.
3. A Revolutionary soldier
executed by the British as a
spy and said to haunt the
Michael Swope House at 210
Prince street. 'Tis rumored he
once so frightened a prospec-
tive tenant that she gave up
plans to lease the home on
feeling the ghosts presence on
the stairway.
I. An elderly lady who al
legedly puts in an occasional
appearance at The Blue Door,
T08 Wolfe street. where she
lived in 1879. In recent years.
st is said she caused a man
who had taken a room there
TO leave hastily one morning
after she had appeared in the
night and rudely shaken his
shoulder.
A fifth painting grew out of
the stories OF long departed
patrons of Spring Gardens,
once an 18th Century tavern.
They are pleased, supposedly.
