mittee has asked the District
to propose legislation repeating
the levy at the next session of
Congress.
Schuyler Lowe, the city's
general administration direc-
tor, told the advisory group
this presents a "knotty prob
lem" He asked for suggestions
on the question.
He said another problem is
involved with the present 81
million motor vehicle parking
fund surplus which the Senate
Appropriations Committee has
instructed the city to reduce.
The expected early embar-
rassment on highway funds is
related to a steady drop in
gasoline tax revenue. In ques-
ton is whether the city can
continue putting up sufficient
local money to qualify for all
the aid to which it is entitled
under the Federal highway
program. If it cannot do so,
planned highway construction
might have to be cut back.
There was no discussion Of
the possibility Of tax increases,
The city has just reassessed
real estate to bring in some "a
million more annually. and
Congress this year increased
the authorized Federal pay
ment from 1913 million to So
million. The full $50 million
amount IS expected to be sought
next year.

John A. McCone, chairman
Of the United States Atomic
Energy Commission, spelled out
the American stand in yester-
days session of the second
general conference of the
agency here. He was immedi-
ately attacked by Eastern dele
gates.
Czechoslovakia's delegate,
Pawel Winkler. charged that
the United States was denying
assistance to underdeveloped
countries. Mr.. Winkler, chair
man OF the agency's board OF
governors, did not elaborate as
to what nations he meant.
The Czechoslovak charge was
repeated by Bulgaria and White
Russia.
Criticize American Line
The Eastern delegates claimed
that the West injected ele-
ments in the program and
budget Of 1859 which would
lead the agency astray. They
said the American line would
"end in a concept of an inter-
national center for fundamen-
tai research instead Of aiding
the atomic development OF
needy nations" They declared

American offer Of 5000 kilo-
grams of enriched uranium had

Exposure Index
Question: How does a guide
number differ from an
exposure index?
Answer: Exposure indexes
are for use with exposure
meters and present a general
rating of a films sensitivity
which may then be used in
relation to the photo-electric
cell, to determine all possible
combinations of lens OPEN
lngs and shutter speeds for
correct exposure. Guide num-
bers are designed to provide
a basis for determining COR
rect lens openings when a
specific flash bulb is used in
combination with a specific
shutter speed.

Nooh Webster Stamp
Is Based on Portrait
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star stan Editor

The Accent Noah Webster
stamp in the Famous
Americans" series is based on
q contemporary portrait Of
the great dictionary maker,
Postmaster General Sum-
merfield has announced.
Webster was an elderly
man, probably about 10,
when the portrait was painted
by James Herring Q794-
1850. a distiller turned artist
and publisher. Herring had it
engraved by an employe,
George Parker, for repro
duction in "The National
Portrait Gallery" a four
volume collection Of pictures
of noted Americans which
he published between 1884
and 1899.
Immediate source Of the
stamp design, which was
modelled by Victor s. Nc
Closkey, jr.. of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing.
was a photograph of the
Parker engraving,
The original Herring por-
trait is owned by Mrs. VIII
liam A. Ellis of Bloomfield,
N. j., daughter Of the late
Worthington C. Ford, who
was at one time chief of the
manuscripts division Of the
Library Of Congress.
The stamp will be placed
on first day sale at Hartford,
Conn, on October Is, the BIZ
centennial of Noah Webster's
birth ia 1853 in a house still
standing on South Main street
in West Hartford.
Webster entered Yale at 10
but his schooling was inter-
rupted by service as q pri-
vate in the Revolution. After
graduation he read law and
was admitted to the bar, but
soon turned to teaching and
writing. In 1884 he published
the first edition of the book
which became famous as his
blue back speller." BY 1890
it had sold more than so
million copies.
Impressed by the lack Of
protection for works such as
his, Webster conducted a
successful campaign for a
copyright law. He also was
active for a time as q Fed
