Art has begun to embellish
some Of the stern paneling in
judges chambers at Municipal
Court.
A solemn trust agreement
signed by eight judges last
May has started to produce re-
suits. A striking painting by a
local artist was mounted last
week in the waiting room of
Chief Judge Leonard p.
Walsh.
The judges have agreed to
pool the donations they receive
for performing weddings. So
far, $500 has been collected
toward what they hope will be
an appropriate collection Of
contemporary art.
Under the judicially thorough
three-page agreement, the
judges have provided for the
purchase of mural painting
or oil painting on canvas by
living or contemporary Amer
lean artists"
The Acquisitions shall be of
a type, nature or character as

vance or be representative of the
heritage of our Nation, its in
situations, particularly the fam
lily. its ideals. particularly those
pertaining to justice -"
Donation Disposal a Problem
The agreement was signed at
the instigation of Municipal
Court Judge Edward A. Beard,
who noted that some judges
were never certain how prop
erly to dispose Of the donations
they received for performing
weddings.
In recent years, the Munich
pal Court judges have become
the sole members Of the WASH
ington judiciary to perform
them and the amounts received
have begun to accumulate.
I'VE decided that some art
works to brighten our Munich
pal Court would be q worthy
project and one we could per-
sonally supervise" Judge Beard
noted. The other Municipal
Court judges who Joined him in

Museum Asks
|S7.3 Million

The importance Of the prop
erly presented museum exhibits
in stimulating science and en-
cheering students was under.
scored by Smithsonian Institu.
ton in 1859 budget requests.
In testimony released today.
DR.. Leonard Carmichael, in
stitution secretary. said the
study of science Is. is best
done by students who have had
a chance to see in a concrete
way what science and tech
nology have done for our Ma
ton in the past"
DR.. Carmichael was referring
to the museums continuing
program of gradually elimi-
mating the old general store"
conglomeration of exhibit items
in favor Of meaningul and at
tractively designed presenta-
ton Of a given subject.
He attributed the $4,000 in
crease in the number Of Wis
itors last year in large measure
to the modernized displays.
DR. Carmichael described the
Smithsonian as probably the
worlds largest museum in
terms of the number Of OBJ
jects now in its possession.
Nonetheless. he added, "for q
good many years" the' United
States has Jagged behind the
rest Of the world in national
museums.
The budget request for the
coming fiscal year totals s7.3
million, a SIS million increase
over the current year. OF the
increase, SIS million would go
toward continued staining and
equipping the new Museum Of
History and Technology for.
which $36 million was appro-
priated last year. Another
$4,000 has been asked for the
program Of undermining ex-
hibits.
The National Gallery Of Art
asked a 1859 budget Of $1.674.-
900, an increase Of $4,000 over
the current year. Part Of this
will be to install new air.
conditioning controls, repair
leaky roofing over the Hobbies
and hire new guards TO police

being contemplated.
The Fine Arts Commission,
seeking the same $4,000 budg-
ct 1t has this year, UNDERSIGNED

noted. But we are seeking
works which will have lasting
appeal. We do not want any
Victorian castoffs."
The judges have informally
commissioned a work from a
nationally known Philadelphia
artist. The only request, noted
Judge Beard, was that the

year Of 1852.
Aggravated assaults, how
ever, increased last year to %
from IS during 1856. There
were nine reported rapes.
against six the previous year.
Statistics on crime in parks
were given last month by
National Capital Parks officials
to a House Appropriations SUBJ
committee considering the Ma
tional Park Services 1859
budget, request. The testimony
was made public today.
Tribute to Efficiency
Edward j. Kelly, Mop super
intendent, said he felt that the
record Of holding the line on
increases in major crime was
"a great tribute to the EN-
cheney and dedication" of the
park police. He noted there
were no murders or man
slaughters in parks last year.
1--WE are very fortunate that
we do not have more serious
offenses committed in our
parks than we have had" he
said.
Mr.. Kelly added, however,
that the police staff Of 209 Of
ficers is inadequate, and that
his office is analyzing recon-
mendations for an increase.
The increase was urged last
year by a survey team which
Investigated the park police
setup.
In line with another recon-
mendation in the report, Con-
rad L. Wirth, National Park
Service chief, said separate
legislation will seek authority
to hold trial board proceedings
in order to improve disciplinary
and morale programs.
Note Fund Division
Committee members also
questioned the division of MOP
expenses between the Park
Service and District Of Column
bia budgets. They noted that
the Mop operating budget for
next year calls for $1.3 million
from the park budget while
the District will pay $2.7 mil
lion toward expenses, including
park police salaries.
Mr.. Kelly defended the di-
vision as flair" to both Federal
and District interests in the
park program.
Discussing the Park Service
budget, meanwhile, Mr.. With
disclosed that he mas added
several new projects to the
Mission Sc" program. This

WHAT WAS PULLING the

WHAT WAS PULLING the
cold air mass southwark and
eastward across the conti-
nent at unusual speed was
a storm. AS Louis Allen says,
"a storm is a well-developed
low (barometric pressure
area)." This low was first
noticed on Thursday over
Texas. 1t might have petered
out, but as 1t moved north
and east, it became identi-
fed with another low over
Alabama on Friday and a
third over the Carolinas on
Saturday. 1t passed in west
east direction south Of
Washington and when 1t hit
the coast turned north and
when of Jersey became a
real big storm. And all the
time it was pulling into its
area of disturbance frigid
air which had come down
from Canada's Mackenzie
Valley.
But what of the future?
Is the traditional mild
winter weather of February
in washington to be a cruel
hoax as it was to the 1880
hopefuls who attended the
Bowie opening Saturday, an
event that has always been
considered a prelude to
spring?
The Rambler sought the
answer. Out in Suitland,
Nd, there is a man learned
in meteorology, DR.. Jerome
Namias, who with the help
of a staff of assistants and
one of those big IBM ma
chimes of the TOO plus class,
is trying to predict weather
80 days in advance for the
United States Weather Blu
reau. He rates the 30-day

curate-and that's better
than an even money bet.
DR.. Namis was unavailable
yesterday, but his February
outlook was. 1t read:

the Northeast quarter.

South Atlantic States where
January was unseasonably
cold"

The
Rambler
!. Finds Cold Air
Gunoing Up on Us
By GEORGE KENNEDY


The Rambler started ON
his usual Sunday walk yes
terday. but he was back in
less than Is minutes with
his ears almost frozen.
And no wonderl The tenn
perature was 20 degrees and
the wind was rs to 80 miles
an hour. 1t was the coolest
day of the winter.
Clouds were scudding
quickly across the sky from
the northwest to the SOUTH
east.
Since Friday the wind has
been whipping around this,
little hilltop house that we
call The Himalaya, some
times growing, often whis-
ting and occasionally rising
in pitch and volume almost
to a scream.
It's been rafting the
hinged steel-sash windows
in the bedroom so loudly
that they have to- be closed
to enable sleep to return.
From his slight acquaint-
ance with meteorology, the
Rambler felt that he knew
what was going on. A great
mass of cold air has de-
tached itself from Arctic
skies north of Siberia or
Alaska and is passing over
us without much loss Of time
or Brightness.
But not until he talked to
the experts did he realize
what a big mass this one is
and what unusual weather
conditions prevailed over the
week end. This air mass had
everything cold east Of the
Rockies.
Florida was due to have
one of its coolest nights.
The cold air was causing
a drop in thermometer well
into Mexico and the islands
of the Caribbean.

FA.RvIEW MEMBERS OF
JRHOVAHS WITNESSES
PLAN TRIP

JenOvah'S witnesses from the
Fairview congregation today an
nounced plans In under way to
attend an international conven-
ton of Jehovah's Witnesses in
New York City this summer.
Lynn v. Speakerworth, presiding
minister of the local group, said
the convention could well be the
largest in the history of Jehovah
Witnesses. 1t is scheduled for
July 81 through August 3 and
will be held in Yankee Stadium
and the Polo Grounds stimuli
taneously.
The last international conven-
ton, attended by several Fair
view Witnesses, was held in 1853
in Yankee Stadium and reached
a peak attendance of 165 1000 in
Guiding the overflow audiences.
Watchtower officials, MIR. Speak
erworth said, have arranged this
year for the program to be held
in both places, with most pro-
gram features repeated at the
Polo Grounds Immediately fol-
lowing the first presentation in
Yankee Stadium.
The Watchtower Bible and
Tract Society, governing agency
for Jehovah's Witnesses, has been
making special travel arrange
ments for foreign delegates. Many
missionaries who have served in
other lands will also be brought
to the United States for the Bible
convention. Purpose Of the gath
ering is to provide stimulus for
the New World society of Jeho-
vah's Witnesses in Christian as
ISOLATION, Bible instruction and
ministerial training. This, Mr..
SpeaAerworth said, is in accor-
dance with provisions made for
Gods people in Bible days.
MI. Speakerworth stated that
it is not yet known how many
Witnesses from the area will at
tend, but, he added, special trav-
el arrangements are being made
by train and ear. He said further
it may be necessary TO make linn
tied meeting arrangements or
cancel local meetings altogether
during convention time.
