more fun than a barrel Of

Ideas Fill Air
AS lots of people probably
know, q brainStorm is q species
of executive or Junior grade
conference where everybody sits
around In the same room and
erupts with any and all ideas
which even remotely bear on the
good Of the business or cause
or whatever.
And, as Eric Kalkhurst, secre-
tary Of the local APRA. explains
ed to the members, "hitch-hik-
ing" on the ideas Of others Is
perfectly acceptable.
Quantity. not quality, is the
important thing" Mr.. Kalkhurst
explained. BE as free-wheeling
as you can. Even If you know
your idea is no good. throw 1t
into the session and someone else
may hitch-hike on it."
This was inspiration enough
for the assembled PRS. A simple
pencil was their first idea chal-
|lenge. It provoked such rapid
fire reaction IS:
"Axle for q child's cart"
"Chew on it," Flavor it,
(this was q hitch-hike). ::
Put o ball-point pen In 1t.
And so on.
Challenge No. 2 was "How Can
Il Sell My PR Program" to the
boss. This led to ideas which
tended to be Of an apple-polish-
ing sort: "Take the boss to din
|ner." make him feel he
was the zone who thought up
your idea" Present him
with o lousy plan, then immedi-
ately follow it up with . good
one"
Other suggestions on this
theme bordered on the risky:
'Take the boss wife to dinner If
she's good-looking." Get
his wife to tell him your story"
take q four-week vacation
and let him know how much he
misses you" Then there were
the more prosaic thoughts like
demanding q pay raise and writ

Hits Further Connections
Gen. Kastner, representing
four civic associations, asked that
the board oppose further connec-
tons to the plant and to post
warning signs on polluted
streams In the county.
The supervisors voted to dis
continue issuance of building
or plumbing permits and to not
approve final subdivision plats
for houses which would tie into
the town sewer system until tests
show that the stream is not be-
ing polluted by the plants dis
charge.
The board also voted to OPP
pose further connections to the
plant at q hearing July II be-
fore the State Water Control
Board. The Water Control Board
is being asked to approve 377
connections Of additional living
units.
In other business, the board
voted to appeal the recent Cir
cult Court decision which over
ruled the boards denial of a
commercial rezoning Of Beacon
Airport south of Alexandria.

Auto PrOvokes Ideas
The idea millrace on auto
design seemed q little closer to
home. There were rather edgy
suggestions for more room for
tall men, men wearing hats and
ladies wearing tight dresses, cars
with no maintenance costs and
horns which could shout epithets
or give short lectures instead OF
merely beeping.

Maryland Unit
Seeks MEETING
With Virginia
BY CHARLES l.. HOFFMAN
star stan Correspondent

BALTIMORE, July 4. A
top-level conference between
Virginia and Maryland law
makers and chief executives on
problems along the Potomac
River will be sought by Mary
lands Legislative Council.
Invitations to the conference
are slated to go to the Virginia
Advisory Legislative Council,
Maryland Gov. McKeldin and
Virginia Gov. Stanley tomorrow.
The conference is planned for
August. 1t was urged by Senate
President Louis L. Goldstein,
chairman Of the Legislative
Council.
1t was Senator's Goldstein's
answer to Gov. McKeldin's prod
ding for council study of the
gambling and liquor situation on
the Potomac.
Blasts County Ohicials
Gov. McKeldin last month
blasted Charles County officials
for granting a liquor license to
a ship that will anchor of Free
stone Point on the Virginia
shore.
The ship repeatedly will seek
q gambling license for slot
machine operations. 1t was
slated to open today.
Virginia liquor laws bar sales
other than through State dis
pensaries. Several Virginia Of
ficials have been angered over
the liquor and gambling ship
operating OF shore and Haunting
Virginia laws in the Maryland
owned river.
The gambling and liquor
situation which Gov. McKeldin
has charged is jeopardizing Vir-
ginia- Maryland relations will be
only one subject proposed for
the conference.
Others are fisheries, net fish,
ing, oyster dredging, crab CATCH
ing, water resources, water
pollution and fireworks sales.
Officials Protest
Senator Goldstein said all
these subjects could be discussed
and resolved by such q confer
ence.
Maryland officials have been
protesting for years over Vir-
ginia's failure to come to agree
ment with Maryland on oyster.
ing and fishing in the river.
The result has been the So
called "oyster wars" with Mary
land officials seeking to halt
dredging of oyster beds, barred
under Maryland law.
Also, Virginia, through their
representatives in Washington,
have succeeded in blocking q
dam sought by the Potomac
Electric Power Co. to help serv-
ice a power plant being built in
Montgomery County.
All these issues will be pro-
posed for the conference agenda.
In addition to the Legislative
Council members, Senator Ed
ward s. Northop, Democrat Of
Montgomery, and Delegate Mau.
rice Cardin, Democrat of Balti-
more, will be asked to sit in as
ex-officio members. They are CO.
chairmen of the Joint Commit
tee on Intergovernmental Co
operation.
Senator Goldstein said the
conference would be sought well
ahead Of the Southern Regional
Conference of the Council Of
State Governments which will
be September 1928 in Baltimore.

JUST AFTER the Rambler
entered, the guards asked
everyone to step back and the
exhibits were lowered into the
vault below.
The Rambler went around
10 the hallway behind the
exhibit and encountered an
Archives employe who took
him to the vault. BY pressing
q button the exhibits are
lowered into the vault by
machinery and the doors Of
the vault, which are its roof,
close. They are Is inches
thick, layers Of steel and con-
crete.
It seems that Jim Gear, an
Archives chemist whose spe-
cialty is the preservation Of
manuscripts, had lowered the
exhibits to check something.
He had a duplicate Of the
Declaration in his hand. He
wanted to see II 1t would
cover the original.
An NBC television showing
Of the Declaration was sched-
uled for the morning Of the
Fourth. Because the high
powered lights used with Tv
cameras contain q lot Of
ultraviolet, the duplicate Of
the Declaration was to be
placed over the original to
protect 1t from the ultraviolet
rays, which have a way Of
fading the ink.

Rambler
Pays Respects
To Founding Fothers
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

On the eve Of Independence
Day, the Rambler walked over
to the National Archives on
q patriotic pilgrimage.
How typical Of this repub-
lie, he thought as he ,strolled
along the Avenue, that its
objects Of veneration should
be inanimate things: The flag
and two documents, the Dec
laration of Independence and
the Constitution.
And how typical Of America
that the documents should be
housed in a new building in .
new city some distance from
the scene of their enactment.
Here they are, right here in
Washington for all to see, the
Declaration that justified the
Revolution and set high ideals
for the new nation, and the
Constitution, which office
holders swear ITO defend and
uphold"
If you prefer to visit his
torical sites on your holiday
week end, they are nearby.

THERE'S STAFFORD Hall,

yhENES STHATFOND Hall,
IN Westmoreland County, Va,
70 miles by road, famous as
the birthplace of Robert E.
Lee. But 1t should be doubly
famous because his two great
uncles who signed the Dec.
laration were born there.
Or you could motor to Char
lottesville (104 miles) to see
the home Of the man whose
peculiar felicity Of express
sion" (the phrase is John
Adams') caused him to be Sc
lected to write the Declara-
ton.
You don't have to read q
book to learn q great deal
about Thomas Jefferson. Just
visit Monticello, the home on
the hill he designed for him
self, and you will realize some
Of the qualities of his mind:
The sure touch with which he
could achieve beauty both in
form and function; his inven-
tiveness and love Of gadgets
such as the clock he made
which would run for a year
and give the minute, the hour,
the day Of the week and the
month.
Or you can stay right here
in Washington and 60 to the
National Archives and see the
document the Continental
Congress signed.
Now the way to get the full
effect-the impressiveness Of
this patriotic slifine-is to
enter from the Constitution
avenue side. You climb the
big bank Of stone steps and
walk right into the hallowed
place.
1t Is impressive, all right
the great domed room Of
marble and gold, with the
altar directly in front.
The case containing the
documents looks like an altar
that's what the designer had
in mind. The Constitution,
engrossed on several sheets
including the first 10 amend
ments or BILL Of Rights" is
under the glass top Of the
altar table; the Declaration,
= single sheet, is upright in
the tabernacle.
