English handbells, such as the ones you see
on these pages, are at least $50 years old.
Tower bell-ringers in England" the bell
master explains, have used them to prac-
tice with for centuries. Sometimes, they've
practiced in tavernS-that'S why you find
so many English tavernS with bell in their
names"
Mrs. Tufts. organiSt and choir director
at ST. PauIs Episcopal Church, Rock Creek
Parish, became interested in English hand
bells several years ago, when she heard the
Beacon Hill Ringers of Boston and the
Princeton University ringers
Il had ordered set of IA bells from the
Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London
they're the casters of the Liberty Bell, Big
Ben and many other famous bells. White
chapel is the only foundry now manufac-
turing handbells in quantity had to wait
two years for them"
They arrived in December, 1854. That
was the beginning of the Potomac English
Handbell Ringers The group, first of its
kind in Washington, now consists OF 12-
Mrs. Tufts rings as we'll as directs-and SO
bells. Each bell, cast of bell metal tabout

painStakingly tuned by man whose family
has monopolized this art since 1850. With
their present equipment, the Potomac band

The band performs, outdoors as well as
indoors, all year long. (OutdoorS, the music

They've performed at the Corcoran Art
Gallery. the Folger Shakespeare Library
and the National Cathedral Flower Mart
They were part of the Easter Sunrise
Service at the Carter Barron Amphitheater.
They've travelled as far as Ipswich, Mass,
where they were part of concert sponsored
by the American Guild of English Handbell
Ringers, and they've performed at Princeton
University.
December however, is their busiest
month. We've turned down twice as many
invitations as we've accepted" Mrs Tufts
says. Our ringers have full-time jobs and
can't give but so much time to the band"
Even so, they've given seven performances

the National Presbyterian Church and the
Christmas Pageant of Peace.

Mrs. Tufts was surprised by Colonial
conscious Williamsburg: They wouldn't
let us ring in the restored area. Seems
researchers could find no mention of
handbells in Colonial records!"

q Chinese
Prefer Jail
To Red Rule

Twenty-one of "A Chinese
aliens serving prison terms in
this country have elected to stay
behind bars rather than be de-
ported to Communist China.
The aliens were interviewed by
the Red Cross. They were given
the choice Of completing their
Jail terms or Of going to Red
China or Nationalist China.
One, serving manslaughter
sentence in New York State
prison, was deported to Red
China. He is James Lew who
was deported October 30.
The deportation was arranged
as part of extensive, United States
efforts to prod Red China into
releasing 10 Americans held in
Chinese jails.
The two Chinese aliens serving
sentences in a California prison
soon will be sent to Nationalist
China.
Communist Chinese have
charged that the United States
is holding Chinese citizens in this
country against their will. In an
effort to disprove the charges the
United States agreed to let the
Red Cross survey all Chinese
alien prisoners.

came only two weeks after the
State Department disclosed the
United States has suspended it's
exchange of persons program
with Russia as a protest against
the Soviet military breakdown on
Hungary.
The survey made available to
reporters said Moscow feeds the
Russian people carefully screened
words of praise from foreign
visitors designed to imply that
the visitors found the Soviet way
of life best.
Two clear formulas are used,
said the report, in order to full
NIL this propaganda objective:
l. Foreign visitors are en-
couraged to make unfavorable
comments on conditions in their
own countries while lavishing
praise on some aspects of Soviet
life. These remarks are then fea-
tured in mass circulation publi-
cations IN Russia and directed
abroad.
2. Soviet visitors abroad de-
liberatedly avoid saying anything
unfavorable to their homeland
while almost always injecting a
note of caution in any praise
they might have for aspects OF
foreign life.
The report said:
internally. the use of lavish
praise by foreigners for aspects
of the Soviet scene and the great
