Club Pays
Tribute to
r. B. Thomas

Formal tribute was paid recent
ly by the Montgomery Farmers
Club to its oldest member" Fl.

who died June /.
A memorial prepared by T. Y.

proved by the club at its last

"The Montgomery Club lost its
Oldest member when Richard
Bentley Thomas passed away on
June 1, 1857 at the age of SO. A
member for a years, he was al
ways interested in our meetings.
He attended regularly, including
the last few years as an honorary
member, and until his last illness.
He served as secretary from 1914
1925.
while actively farming, he
won numerous prizes with fruit,
etc. exhibited at the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory in Baltimore. After
leaving the farm, he concentrated
on his garden, which always pros
pered under his care. When The
Club met with Bentley we could
count on interesting entertain
ment, often well-prepared paper
on some worthwhile subject.
These always provoked lively dis
cussions.
"At other times he often Stim-
ulated consideration of topics of
similar merit. Mention should be
made of his interest in various
organizations. He was a member
of Olney Grange for 60 years,
serving several terms as Master,
and in other offices, as well as
a number of years as Secretary
of the Executive Committee of
the Maryland State Grange.
HE was an original and life
long member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Montgomery Coun-
ty General Hospital, a period of
38 years. He was interested in
and had fund of historical lore.
He served as Sandy Spring neigh
borhood historian for IL years.
Bentley Thomas will be missed
from our meetings and from the
community.

All grade assignments, by the
way, are more or less tentative.
There may be changes when the
staff gets together at the end
of this month";
AS estimated, the population of
the school will be over 260, di-
vided into ten classes. Principal
Albertson will be teaching fifth
grade. The kindergarten is small
compared with previous years.
There will be only one session for
the IS youngsters expected.
This year, Clara Barton will
serve only the Cabin John area.
Bannockburn children will be
transferred to the new Bannock.
burn school. For the first time,
they will be able to walk to
school. When they went to Clara
Barton, they had to cross that
famous antique, the Cabin John
bridge. Built for carriages hun.
dred years ago. the straight and
narrow bridge is now used by the
horseless type in laundering
herds. And it has no trace of a
sidewalk. The Board of Education
took one look at it and decreed
bus travel for any and all Clara
Barton students who lived on the
other side.
Children from Glen Echo will
continue at Brookmont School this
year. But Brookmont will lose
about forty children in Fairway
Hills who are transferring to Ban
nockburn. And some sixty other
children, who live in Merrimack
Park, will transfer from RadnoI
to the new institution.
Children in the area west OF
Wilson Lane and south of River
Road will continue at Radnor this
year.
Enough about schools. In this
kind of weather, you oughtta be
asking rather, "how about swim,
ming pools?" I'm glad you asked
that question.
The Merrimack Park Swimming
Pool is coming along wonderful-
ly," reports its president, Sidney
Lindner. Beyond that, l can't tell
you a thing" What he meant
was, that no date can yet be set
for the opening. Actually, he told
me lot of things.
For instance, the pool itself is
all finished except for the white
coat" Most of the equipment,
things like filters, is in place.

Jordan Invasion
Denied by Israel

The United States today had
the public assurance Of Israel's
Ambassador here that his coun-
try has no present intention oi
invading beleaguered Jordan.
Abba Eban, Israeli envoy here
yesterday told television inter-
viewers on MICS Youth Wants
to Know that his country Is
maintaining IAN attitude of de-
tachment" toward the political
turmoil in Jordan and wants her
Arab neighbor's territorial integ-
rity to be preserved.
The status quo there, he said
is preferable to any other course
we see available"
There have been reports over
the week end that the United
States dispatch of the 9Th Fleet
to the Eastern Mediterranean
was intended primarily to deter
Israel from invading Jordan
Ambassador Eban said yester-
day he wanted to "repudiate" this
idea.
Israel. he added. wants to play
"a "stabilizing role" in the Jordan
situation by not doing or saying
anything to aggravate matters.
The Ambassador declined To
give a date for Israel's dispatch
of a ship to the Suez Canal from
which Israeli ships and cargoes
have been barred by Egypt. The
Israeli plan to assert the right
|of free passage Ought to be
taken seriously, however," Mr.
Eban cautioned.
Any Egyptian or Arab use OF
force against the ship would be
regarded as an invasion of Is
raels territory, he said.

PADUA, Italy. April % lR.-
Seventeen of the IS defendants
showed UP in court today at the
beginning Of a trial which may
show whether Benito Mussolini's
missing treasure helped pay the
bill for postwar communism in
Italy.
Among those who appeared
was Dante Gorrieri, tough Com
munist partisan who was elected
q deputy to Parliament while he
was in jail in 1858.
All the defendants had been at
liberty under their own recogniz-
ance. Charges range from mur-
der to embezzlement.
The treasure was the multi
million-dollar fortune Mussolini
was trying to slip out of Italy
on the night Of April 26. l945.
when he fed toward Switzerland
In a German truck column.
Communist partisans am
bushed the column in the Lake
Como region north Of Milan. near
Dongo. They executed Mussolini
and his mistress, Claretta Pc
tacci.
But they never said a word
about what happened to the for
tune in gold and currency-since
known as the "Dongo treasure. I"
The government claims the
Communists unloaded the treas
ure from about 30 German
trucks. piled it in the Dongo
town hall, stood guard over 1t
all night, and took an inventory
of 1t behind closed doors the
next morning.
Repeatedly 1t included 145la
pounds Of gold bars and several
million dollars worth Of British.
French, Swiss and American
currency. No offlcial estimate
Of the total value has ever been
announced.
The mystery Of the treasure
has resulted In much specula-
ton that the Communists used
It to finance the costly postwar
buildup Of their party, which for
q time threatened TO take over
the Italian government.
The prosecution charges that
