BY GEORGE FLYNN

Like millions of other Ameri-
can families taking to the
road thiso time Of year, our
vacation itinerary was liber-
ally sprinkled with visits to
sites and shrines of Americana.
All of them were richly re-
warding, whether seen for the
first time or glimpsed anew
through the eyes Of our chill
dren.
OF particular import, we
found, is the rapidly-expand-
ing development of the house
museum" displaying the ways
of life of the past in America.
This comes in part from the
maturing of projects born 10
and 20 years ago, but it has
been encouraged, curatorS re-
port. by increased attendance
by a public curious to witness
re-created history.
Latest available figures show
that 47,953,902 persons visited
history sites and buildings
open to the public in 1854. The
pace has stepped up sharply
this year,
Our own tour took us, north
ward. A visit to independence
Hall in Philadelphia disabused
a young skeptic of the notion
that Davy Crockett actually
fixed up the crack in the
Liberty Bell.
Revisit Worthwhile
While this shrine has been
seen by most Americans at one
time or another, revisit is
worthwhile. The building APP
pears in a new beauty since
the National Park Service
cleared away unsightly build
ings to open up a giant mall
on independence Square.
Through New York-and a
detour by way of Bedloe's Is
land to climb the Statue 'of
Liberty-we headed for Old
Sturbridge Village in MasSa-
chusetts
This famous collection of
authentic 18th and early 10Th
century American buildings,
furnished with representative
ANTIQUES of the period, offer
much to the student of archi-
lecture and Americana.
For the youngster, the vii
lage has a special appeal.
There's action. Spinning
wheels spin flaxen thread, and
old looms yield cloth and rugs.
The village blacksmith ham
mers metal at his forge. The
potter'S wheel turns out vim
tage products. And children
are encouraged to touch and
lift early American implements
to get the feel of their an
cestor's chores.
New Appreciation
This same freedom was evil
dent a few days later during a
visit to the Mystic Conn
Marine Museum. Children
clambered over the decks of
the Morgan, last existing
wooden whaling ship of the
once-great American fleet.

Floor Repair Job

Best way to deal with a floor
board splinter that has partly
broken off is to cut it all off
at its base and build up the
space with plastic wood. Let
the plastic wood harden; then
sandpaper it flush and smooth.
Finish by touching up with
shellac or paint to match floor.

Trade Hopes
In Britain

MANCHESTER, England, Mar
"a (R.-Georgi Malenkov, busily
pushing the Kremlin campaign
to win friends in Britain, is
dangling hopes of big trade deals
1--WE are convinced" the for
mer Russian premier is telling
industrialists during his tour OF
British power plants. that
business ties between us will
be developed"
Such statements appeal to the
British electrical industry, now
battling harder than ever tc
boost exports of such heavy
equipment as turbo generators
and transformers. The industry
hopes soon to supplant the motor
industry as Britain's No. l ex-
porter. 1t is seeking new markets
now that economic woes at home
are cutting down domestic de-
mand.
Mr.. Malenkov used the more
trade" line during his tour OF
metropolitan eVickers, which
made heavy generating gear for
the Russians before World War
II.
One British official said the
Russians seem to be after know
how" "Once they get it-and
quite possibly they have 1t al
ready-they will be hardly likely
to spend millions buying from
u.s." he said. ~

BroziI Acts to Curb
Imports Of Autos

RIO DE JANERIO, March "a
R.-The Brazilian government
today took drastic measures to
curb increasing automobile i'm
ports.
The Ministry of Transport and
Public Works announced a ire
'mendous increase in the price OF
storage for cars while they are
at the docks.
They must remain at the docks
at least 80 days now. The new
rates are 83 cruseiros ($1.18) per
% pounds for the first 80 days
for cars and 20 cruzeiros (aboui
% cents per 90 pounds for
trucks.
| This means that a car in the
Oldsmobile or Buick class -
which up to now has cost about
$35 storage for 80 days-will now
cost about $500 for storage.
The new rates almost certain
T. y will cause a spiraling price
rise in the already skyhigh rates
for cars in Brazil. A new medium
priced United States car at pres
ent will bring $8,000-$10,000 ir
Brazil.

|Anti-Tito Trials
May Be Voided

NEW YORK, Mar. "a R.-
Soviet satellite chieftains may
soon be forced against their will
to reverse judgments of their
notorious anti-Tito trials and
prosecutions during Stains last
years.
These purges in Kremlin-con
Itrolled Eastern European coun-
tries from 1948 to 1853 claimed
the lives of Rudolph Slansky, OF
Czechoslovakia, Laszlo Rajk OF
Hungary, Traicho Kostov of Bull
garia, Koci-Xoxe of Albania and
many other leading Communists
executed with them. They de-
stroyed the political careers OF
Wladislaw Gomulka in Poland
Ana Pauker in Romania, Paul
Merker in East Germany and
others who suffered with them.
1t would seem to follow from
the current Soviet denunciation
Iof Stains rule of terror during
his last 20 years as Communist
dictator that all these judgments
must be re-examined. Satellite
leaders don't want to do it. They
fear the results will shake their
positions and their regimes.
The Kremlin. leaders in Moscow
also have been afraid to face
this issue so far. But it looks as
though they can't delay much
longer.
Information seeping from be-
hind the Iron Curtain suggests
that machinery is already in mo-
ton.

Second Thoughts In BRITAIN

The sleek Soviet jetliner made
it's first flight outside the Iron
Curtain Thursday when it landed
in London with Gen. Serov
Some British newspapers express
sed amazement at its size and
obvious power and speed.
However, there we're second
thoughts among British aviation
experts later. These voiced crit
icisms that the giant jet engines
were placed too close to the cabin,
that the plane was too big for
economical short hops and too
small for long flights.
Viewing the plane from be-
yond the guarded perimeter at
London airport, some aviation
experts estimated its length at
100 feet, its wing span at 140
feet and rated the total thrust OF
its two engines at 10000
pounds-as much as the COM
bined power of the four jets on
Britain's Comet.
The Russians were reported to
have asked for 5000 gallons to

States, where it is expected to be
several years before civilian jets
enter regular commercial service.
Marshal Zhavoronkov said cur
rent plans are to put the Russian
planes into international rather
than domestic service. Negotia-
tons are now going on with Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark on
behalf of the Scandinavian Air
lines for direct flights between
Copenhagen and Moscow and be-
tween Stockholm and Moscow
The agreement is expected be-
fore Swedish Prime Minister

1t appeared possible that Aero

routes in the near future.

link Moscow and Kabul in At
