THE RAMBLER KNOWS of

THE RAMBLER KNOWS of
an abandoned farm just
south of the District line,
the farm of st. Elizabeths
Hospital. Dairy cattle used
to Craze there, but they have
gone the way Of economic
determination.
That would be a good place
to fly q kite.
Fine" said Paul CARRIER,
"but I would like to have my
friend Stanley Potter along.
His father was a kite designer
in the Weather Bureau in the
1905. Where will he join us?"
To simplify things, the
Rambler suggested the main
gate Of st. Elizabeths Hos
pital. When we got there,
Stanley was inside. We
drove in. The. Rambler con-
feSses he was a little dis
turbed when Stanley, in the
hearing of the uniformed
guards, said:
This is no place to fly
kites; there are too many
trees"
The guards paid him no
mind. Our two cars were q
traffic problem, and they
were glad to help us depart.
To get to st. Elizabeths
farm you drive south across
the District line and, at the
top Of the hill beyond, turn to
the right. To the left is the
Rosecroft harness track. But
before We got to the farm, we
noticed an abandoned Nike
site. The sign said no tres
passing, but an asphalt strip
twice the length of a tennis
court was inviting. The fields
were still very wet.
We entered and Paul made
several trips from his car
carrying his gear, reels far
larger than those used in
deep-sea fishing, and some
thing that looked like q
jumbo golf bag which was
full of folded kites.

HONG KONG. Sept. 26
(NANA) Considerable interest
among local radio men has been
aroused by one of the latest
gadgets to come out of Red
China in the Communist ex-
port drive-a radio that runs on
kerosene.
The unusual item is basically
a large kerosene table or hang
ing lamp with typical glass
chimney and inverted conical
reflector.
But around the lamp chimney
there is fixed a metal sleeve
about a quarter of an inch thick
from which project a number OF
vertical fins two or three inches
wide.
The purpose of these is to
radiate heat, so that in cold
climates (such as in Continental
China during winter the lamp
can provide warmth as well as
illumination.
But the intriguing part is
that from the central cylindri-
cal metal sleeve there issue two
substantial electrical cables.
These provide both A and B
current for a medium-sized,
long end short-wave radio set

SousteIIe Call to Bon
Reds Wotered Down

Mr.. Soustelle expressed HIM
self with force and clarity:
IF the Fifth Republic is not
to have the same fate as the
Fourth, it will be necessary,
Immediately after the referen-
DUN, to act in such a way that
the Communist Party cannot
rot our new institutions as it
poisoned the preceding ones. "
This statement was taken by
virtually everyone as a call for
outlawing the Communist Party
in France, a goal long pre-
scribed by ultranationaliSts in
Algeria. 1t is also a step which
would be considered by most
non Communist liberal ele-
mentS in France as an act of
supreme folly. One result, it is
said, would be to drive the
Communist movement under
ground and create a new sort
Iof resistance" in France which
could count on the sympathetic
support of nearly one-third of
the adult population. More i'm
mediately, it would very prob
ably cause the withdrawal of
Socialist support from Gen. de
Gaulle's government and de-
stroy the broad political base
which the general has been at
great pains to construct.
Original Version Favored
Nevertheless there is reason
to believe that the quotation as
originally carried on the AFP
wire was precisely what Mr..
Soustelle said. Given also the
fact that Mr.. Soustelle has
often expressed similar views
in private, there is reason to
believe that he meant precisely
what every one took him to
mean.

Public Works
Program Here
Held in Peril
Revenue Muy Be
$40 Million Below
Need, Official Suys
BY JAMES G. DEANE

District officials warned today
that the city apparently will
not be able TO complete its am
biious new public works pro-
gram under existing financing
plans.
d. p. Herman, deputy budget
officer, said tentative estimates
indicate revenue may fall about
$40 million short of the works
program requirements.
The city also faces impending
difficulties on highway con-
struction financing and on gen.
\ eral operating funds. Mr.. Her.
man said. The highway pro-
gram will be 'in trouble" by
next year. and operating reve-
nueS appear to be sufficient
only until 1862, he said.
Operating funds could prove
inadequate sooner than 1862 if
Congress eliminates the exist
ing food tax, as recently sug-
gested.
Advisory Council Meets
The financial warnings came
at a meeting of the Citizens
Advisory Council. They came
during the course of an outline
Of the $247 million budget esd
mates now under consideration
for the fiscal year starting next
July.
The Council was invited to
make recommendations on the
budget before formal action by
the Commissioners in mid Oc-
tober. A public hearing Is
scheduled for October 7.
The new works program was
launched this year. The pend
ing budget proposals call for
its acceleration next year by
means of the first $2l million
installment on planned loans
which the city is authorized to
obtain for the program from
the Federal Treasury.
The total outlay projected
under the program is SIP mil
lion. Congress authorized the
city to borrow up to SIS million.
Mr.. Herman told council
members the new loan program,
the first of its kind since 1874, |
is expected to carry the new
construction to 1868. But, he
said, 1t now appears there will
be not enough funds for the
programs final year.
Raises Upset Estimates
The budget officials blamed
recent pay raises for upsetting
earlier calculations. 1t was ex-
pected originally the raises
would cost the city only Sc mil
lion annually. But Congress
approved increases costing
about $14 million, he noted.
The increased wages, COM
bined with expected normal
growth in the municipal pay
roll. pose the likelihood of
serious operating difficulty by
1862.

Despite Shells
Ships and Planes
Join in Defying
Red Artillery

TAIPEI, Sept. rs (AP). -
Fresh supplies poured to Que
moy's defenders by air and sea
amid heavy Communist artil-
lery fire today.
The buildup came as the Chi
nese Nationalist announced
another aerial victory that
boosted their claimed kills to
29-without a Nationalist loss
since the August % flareup of
the offshore war.
Pilots reported one Might
shot down and another possibly
damaged ina battle late yester-
day between four Of their Amer
ican-built Sabrejets and 16 of
Red China's Soviet-supplied
fighters off Swatow.
Supplies Parachuted
The first Nationalist ship
convoy to cross Formosa Strait
since Monday sailed through a
Red barrage and sent amphibi-
GUS vehicles racing to Quemoy's
beaches with cargo to replenish
garrison stocks. Four cores
pondents witnessed the opera
ton on a flight back to Taipei.
Transport planes parachuted
high Lriority supplies to the
island overnight through skies
peppered by bursting shells. It
was the third such operation in
three nights. The planes, using
precision low-level tactics,
dropped more than 400 cases of
goods in the first two hours last
night. None showed damage
from the shell bursts, reporters
in Quemoy said.
Though the supplies are
flowing again, the big questions
are how much is getting
through and how long the
blockade puncturing can be
kept up.
These are vital questions be-
cause American policy of con-
tanning the Formosa Strait war
seems now to hinge on denying
the Reds the chance to starve
out Quemoy.
Warships of the United States
7th Fleet are eScorting the con-
voys. Destroyers made the run

Newsmen sighted two or three
flying the American flag. In
keeping with custom, the war
ships stayed well outside the

cruised within the 12-mile line
that Red China now claims as
its territorial boundary.

PARIS, Sept. 26.-There are

that Gen. Charles de Gaulle is
getting ready at long last to
crack down on the extremist

The strongest hint of this

Within 10 minutes after what
