For the Teacher

Miss K. Conner Jones, who
retired in June after 81 years
of teaching mathematics in
Washington's schools, has
appealed to the Rambler to
help her identify one of her
former students.
1t seems her pupils at
Eastern High School gave her
a little retirement party. One
Of them took a taxi to a
store to buy some present for
the teacher and told the
driver the nature of the
Grand.
The driver said: Here's IS.
Add it to your money for a
gift for Miss Jones. She
taught me, and she was a
very good teacher"
Since then Miss Jones has
been trying to locate the
driver.
Miss Jones knows he is a
young man. because he men,
toned she had taught him
at Eastern, and she taught
there only through the final
four years of her career. She
hopes he will come forward
and make himself known so
she can thank him per-
sonally.

On Insurance
Measure Extends
Licensing Power
Of Superintendent

District officials and spokes-
men for various trade groups
today supported a bill that
would give to the superintend-
ent Of insurance the same
powers over the granting of a
renewal Of an insurance license
he now has in passing on an
original application.
Testifying before the Beall
Subcommittee of the Senate
District Committee, Insurance
Superintendent Albert F. Jor-
dan said the proposed revision
of the law was needed because
of an appellate court decision
in one contested case. He said
this decision meant that he
could not refuse to renew the
license of an agent unless the
applicant was found to have
violated the insurance law.
In that case, the license of
one company had been revoked
but the principal owner later
was found involved in another
company which was denied a
license renewal on the ground
that the same controlling in
terest was "untruStworthy."
The appellate court overuled
that decision because the pres
ent law limits the actions of
the insurance superintendent
to violations of the insurance
code.
There was one opponent.
Bernard Margolius, who served
as counsel for the accused
operator. He agreed to the
detectives of the bill but pro-
tested it placed too much dis
cretionary power in the hands
of one individual, the super
intendent of insurance.
Senator Morse Democrat Of
Oregon, said he was quite in
sympathy with the detectives
of the bill but also wanted to
make sure that the rights Of
the accused individual insur-
ance agency would be protect
ed. He asked for a study and
Chairman Beall left the record
open until Fiday.
The subcommittee also con-
sidered a House-passed bill
which would place the resi-
dence requirements of directors
Of trust companies here on
the same basis as that for
directors of national banks in
the District.
Passage Of this was asked
by Francis G. Addison. speak
ing for the Law and Legislation
Committee Of the District
Bankers Association. This
would require that two-thirds
of the directors shall reside in
the District of Columbia or
within 100 miles Of the location
of the principal Office of the
company.
The subcommittee also con-
sidered but postponed action on
a House-passed bill which
would revise the method of
taxation on marine insurance
companies operating here. This
would abolish the 2 per cent
tax on premiums written and
restore the earlier system of
basing the taxation on the

Hollywood Beots Drought in D. c.:
Points Brown Grass Bright Green
BY PHIL THOMAS

Brown grass. an diversified
house and an almost extinct
type of World War II truck
have been playing hob here
with filming of the 50 million
production of Household
A Hollywood crew of 81, plus
some As local technicians and
extras, began work Monday on
the Paramount Pictures Corp.
color film, which has q WASH
ington locale. Stars Cary
Grant and Sophia Loren will
take part in other scenes to be
shot in and around the Capt.
tai through Tuesday.
Bob Denton, Washington
representative for Paramount,
said the drought had been a
particular problem.
We're shooting a sequence
today on the estate of j. c.
Herbert Bryant. just below
Mount Vernon. Because of the
drought. the grass is so brown
we are spraying it green"
Long Hunt for Truck
Mr.. Denton said he and
other studio officials spent
weeks looking for a World War
II six-by-six Army truck called
for in the script.
I'VE combed junk yards all
over the place." he said. II
spent time on the phone, talk
ing to people at the Chrysler
Corp. which made the trucks.
They didn't have any either"
Mr.. Denton is convinced it
was an act of God that finally
brought the truck to light.
MY secretary walked out of
the Office one day and
screamed. An old six-by-six
was driving by. I bought the
truck for $500 and hired the
plumber who owned it," Mr..
Denton said.
The truck and the house are
closely linked in the story. The
script calls for the moving of a
small house over a railroad
crossing.
Andy Durkas. assistant pro-
duction manager for the
Household" company, said a
Pittsburgh firm had built a
prefabricated house for the
scene.
Second House Required
Then we found out it was
too big. The streets we're too
narrow, and there were wires
that couldn't be cleared. We |
had to build another house
near the location scene." he
said.
John Duncan. salesman for
the local firm providing the
KIN ow- how for tomorrow's
house-moving operation near
Whitewater, Va, said the move
would involve some $4,000 in
his company's equipment.
We're providing a winch
truck, tractor. flatbed trailer
and a stake body"
An average house move costs
about $1,000. he said. but the
movie job will be somewhat |
less than that"
All this adds up TO part Of
the estimated $4,000 a day
cost Of the filming here.
Some Of the rest Of the cost
includes the operation of nine
limousines-to carry personnel
from one location to another
and 10 trucks.
Meals by Caterer
In the trucks are clothing for
the stars. a sanitary unit"
stage props. electrical equip
ment and a generator. Rather
than eat in restaurants for
meals work starts at 6 am.
and doesn't end for some until
IL pm. the same day., food is
prepared by a caterer. then
loaded aboard a truck for
mealtime.
Charles Woolstenhulme, pro-
duction manager Of the movie,
estimates there'll be an average
$50 per head in hotel bills to be
paid when the 81 Hollywoodites
leave Washington.
"Other than that I couldn't
say how much well spend here
altogether. Some one Of our
guys may lose $50 in a crap

First Polio Death
Reported in District
Health Agency
Corrects Error
On SuIk Shots

The seasons first death in
the District due to polio was

At the same time the depart

Health Department services.
Those up to 40 years of age
in this category can secure
them at three designated
clinics.
The Health Department an
nouncement yesterday said that
all up to 40 could get free shots.
A spokesman today said that
was a mistake.
Officials said the polio victim
was Curtis Seasons, SO, of $40
Twenty-first street NE, who
died on Sunday at Mount Alto
Hospital. They explained the
first official report came from
the autopsy diagnosis of bulbar
polio.
Didn't Have Shots
The family said Mr.. Seasons

Agency Outlines Policy
In outlining its policy. a
Health Department spokesman
pointed out those persons who
have already agreed to par

in-plant programs of Silk polio
vaccine incubation should not
change their program at all,
because of the newly an

Apart from the free shots
given at Health Department
clinics to those unable to pay.
all others should go to their
own private physicians or con-
tinue with the program they
have contracted to participate
in at their own place of BUSH
ness, the spokesman explained.
Previously. the age limit for
Salk polio shots given by the
Health Department was 20.
But yesterday it announced it
was being raised to 40.

shots would be given only those
who can't pay and who nor

InEN OlAnLEO OOOLEI
WARMERS Watcher in the
Woods" was required reading
In thousands of elementary
schools. Warner, a Connect
icut newspaperman Hart
ford Courant), took the child,
or any other reader, into the
woods and fields and &C
quainted him with the daily
rounds of their inhabitants.
He loved to watch crows re-
turn Of an evening to their
rookery in the tall trees on a
ridge.
He corrected the idea that
children got somewhere
maybe from their elders
that rabbits live in burrows.
That would make them
victims of their many
enemies who can dig. Rabbits
rest on the leeward of a
stone or clump Of turf, al
ways ready to go.
The Rambler loves to hear
crows scold him as he walks.
1t gives you the feeling of
really being in the country.
And it's something you can
experience any day by walk
ing around the fence behind
the White House or through
the Capitol grounds. The
crows there will scold you.
And it gives you a feeling
that this is a Capital that is
in the country it serves.
The crows scolded the
Rambler as he walked
through the Seminary
grounds.
Farther on, he had reason
to reflect on the great in
crease in doves. They were
sitting on every telephone
wire and on wire fences.
These are the mourning
doves that go GOO, COO, co.,"
always in threes, and give a
solemn note to the rural en-
vironment.
Could their evident in
crease be due in part to the
mechanical corn harvester
which leaves so many kernels
and broken ears in the field?
The young ones on the
fence wires allowed a close
approach. Their coloring is
hard to believe. Their breast
is a pink buff. The back of
their heads is a beautiful
blue. They have dark rounds
on their back and folded
wings. When they take off
you see two white feathers
at the outskirts of their tails,
like the meadowlarks. And
as they pass overhead you
catch that silhouette, so
familiar on altar stone and
stained glass, the Christian
symbol of the Holy Spirit.
