"a day that ceased to CLEAN
and thus went out forever.
But left some hope for us in
twinkling stars and unwinkine
planets.
Saw the two of us and many
others at the play.
The plays the thing, to write
to see, to talk about
To wonder often what the au
thor meant,
To be sure he said this while
another says he meant that.
And so this Thomas, Dylan, un
folded and examined a day,
Much as you and / a new coat
or sheet.
He shifted it, not for moths OF
mold
But Nor the bits of sweat and
dust each leaves behind in any
garment.
And in life itself.
Each kissed and unkissed fe
male
Each husbands dream of dire
fate
Not for himself, oh, Lord no,
For his wife.
The not-so-secret prowlings ant
paintings
The shattered dreams and some
not shattered,e
Too unimportant for fate t.
notice.
They were just dreams, well
that were as vague as moth.

cal conduit underground along
side of the road. But the condi.
ton of the road, A & E contend,
precludes the use of heavy ma.
chinery necessary to install the
cable. Each reel of the cable it.
self weighs eight tons and cou.
pied with the weight of the truck
that would carry the reel, the to.
tai load would sink a wheeled
vehicle up to its chassis in the
mud.
Further, a spokesman for the
contractor contended, if his firm
were somehow able to lay the
pipe and cover it with a two-inch
layer of concrete, it would be
very likely that the power line
would be damaged by heavy road
equipment now mushing up and
down the narrow roadway from
the c e O Canal.
He said his firm did not
feel that it should have to
guarantee the conduit under
those conditions.
Anderson & EStabrook last
week turned down as impractical
an offer by McElwee & Courbis
Co., builders of the plant, to lend
huge sleds to the electricians SO
they could slide their reels of
wire over the mud. 1t was only
by use of the SledS and tractors
that McElwee & Courbis were
able to haul steel and brick to the
building site, building contractors
said
The overall job is under the
direction of Gilbert and Associ

plant can pump four million gal
Ions of water dairy, twice as
much as is now needed during
peak demands in Rockville.

The play, while not a comedy,
had humor, the kind of humor
that bothers me to laugh too loud;

None of this is to indicate that
the play was formidable or OBJ

no puzzles or riddles unless you

City Water Plant Slowed
By Builders Differences

Rockville's Mayor and
Council Tuesday told three
contractors working on the
city's new filtration plant to
get together and solve their
difficulties or the city will
look with disfavor on extend
ing the contract time for com
pletion of the job, already
three weeks overdue.
Mayor Alexander Greene re-
minded the contractors that every
day the city's new filtration plant
lies idle, the city must pay Wash.

mission $210 for water used by
the city. The city could pump its
own water about three times as
cheaply.
If the city decided to, il
could try to penalize the gen.
eral contractor 500 a day
for every day over the con-
tract completion date. May.
or Greene, i'm effect, told the
contractors that he might do
just that.
Construction delay has largely
been the fault of the unusually
heavy rains this past month, on
top of a very moist winter which
together, have turned ground
near the construction site of the
plant into soggy morass.
Current bottleneck is a 300.

Fireman Wins

Twigg also told officials that
Carter first attracted his atten-
ton when he narrowly missed
colliding with the trooper as he
pulled into the street after the
siren blew and headed toward the
fire house. He also went through
a stop sign without slowing,
Twigg told his superiors.
Carter told Barbee he was
not guilty of the violations
reported by Twigg.
Volunteer firemen are not
legally supposed to violate traf-
fic regulations while responding
to fire alarm in their private
cars. Emergency vehicles them
selves, however, are granted GER
tain privileges under Maryland
law. That is why volunteer fire
men are asked to report to the
fire house and ride the emer-
gency vehicles rather than go di-
rect to the scene of an emergency
in their private cars.
Barbee's decision to drop the
charge against Carter was made
at conference in his office Mon
day attended by several county
and State police and fire officials.
A factor in his decision, he
said, was a statement to him
by a county police officer
that i'm his opinion the issu-
ance of the ticket by Trooper
Twigg was not justified.
The county policeman, off duty
at the time, saw part - but not
all of the alleged violation
which prompted the issuance of
the reckless driving ticket, ac-
cording to Col. James S. Nc
Auliffe, county police superinten-
dent.
Explaining the vital role played
by the volunteer fireman in the
community, Barbee said 1--WE
haven't been too technical in the
past about the way firemen drive
to the fire house. Police have
usually looked the other way and
my office has sanctioned this"
Its very delicate prob
lem. We don't want to dis
courage the volunteer fire.
man but at the same time
they should understand that
they must exercise reason
able caution in responding to
the alarm.
Il think the fireman was in
discreet but l think we accom-
plished much more by holding
the meeting and bringing it
rather pointedly to the attention
of everyone that firemen must
exercise a little bit more care"
The problem of volunteers
hurrying to the fire house is a
universal one where volunteer
department exist. Barbee pointed
out. A meeting was held last
year between county, police and
fire officials to discuss the
matter again.
That meeting created a very
good feeling and brought about a
com mon understanding" he
said.
He added that he hoped
another such meeting to discuss
the problem of volunteer fire
mems driving habits would be
held soon and that it would be-
come an annual event.
Those attending the hour-long
Monday meeting included Coun-
ty Police Lieutenants B. Thomp-
son and Joseph Hawkins; Sergt.

Hillary, Conquerer of Mt. Everest,
 Reaches South Pole by Overland

AUKLAND, N.Z., RSir Ed mund Hillary, first man to con- quer Mt. Everest, the highest point on earth, today reached the South Pole, at the bottom of the world.
 He radioed the dramatic news to Scott Base, the Ross Sea point he and his party set out from on October IS.
 After ploughing more than 1000 miles across the wide, white ant arctic continent, Hillary radioed the base that he and his tractor party of four other New Zealand CTS had arrived at the pole with only one drum of gasoline extra.
 'sWe were cutting it rather fine due to the very soft snow," he reported.
 The lanky 38-year-old New Zealander and his companions camped within two miles of 17 Americans manning a camp es- tablished there more than year ago as part of the International Geophysical Year scientific re- search program.
 He was the first explorer to reach the pole overland in 4g years and his group was the third in history to reach the objective by land.
 Hillary's companions are Mur- ray Ellis, Peter Mulgrew, Derek Wright, and Jim Bates.
 Hillary's party followed much of the 1,2OO-mile route of Capt. Robert F. Scott of the British Navy, who raced Roald Amundsen of Norway for the pole in the ant arctic summer of 1911-1912.
 Amundsen won by month, be- coming the discoverer of the South Pole. Scott's five-man party perished on the way back to the coast at McMurdo Sound.

Navy Asks First Nuclear Plane Be a Seaplane

NEW YORK, RA The Navy is proposing that the United States first nuclear powered airplane be seaplane, the New York Times said today.
 In a Washington dispatch, the Times said the Navy outlined it's proposal yesterday at a high-level meeting in the office of Deputy of Defense Donald A. Quarles.
 The meeting was called to dis cuss plans for nuclear powered planes.
 High officials of the Navy, Air Force and Atomic Energy Com mission attended. No final deci- sion was reached, the Times said.
 The Air Force has favored a supersonic nuclear bomber that would fly faster than 700 mph.
 The Defense Department must decide whether the first nuclear powered plane should be specific ally designed and built for nu- clear power or whether nuclear reactor be placed in an existing airplane.
 The Joint Congressional Com mittee on Atomic Energy is put ting pressure on the department to establish a firm timetable.

DETROIT, Wards Reports, Inc, said today Chrysler Corp. reached it's avowed goal of a 20 percent bite of the automotive business in 1857 and that Ford Motor Go. posted it's best penetra- ton of the market since 1880.

Bartlett to Ask Tax Relief for

WASHINGTON, RADelegate Bartlett said today he will ask Congress to exempt from taxation the cost-of-iving allowances re- ceived by National Guard en- ployes in Alaska.
 The bill also would authorize Guard employees to apply for re- funds of income taxes previously paid on such allowances.
 The bill would affect some 200 persons in Alaska. Other federal employees are exempted by law from paying a tax on the cost-of- living allowance.
 Bartlett said he also plans to confer with Interior Dept. off cials to see whether the admins tration plans to offer a bill ex- tending the life of the Alaska Public Works program.
 He said if no such proposal is forthcoming he will introduce a bill of his own.
 In addition, Bartlett plans 10 seek early action on statehood.

Soviet Newspapers Clamoring for
 Eisenhower Khrushchev Meeting

MOSCOW RAEvery newspaper in Moscow today took up the So- viet cry for meeting between Communist Party boss Nikita Khrushchev and President Eisen- hover.
 Khrushchev in New Years toast said such a meeting could solve most of the worlds prob lemS.
 The Moscow papers printed as Sortments of reports from New York, London and elsewhere un- der identical headlines saying the people of the world favor meet ing between Eisenhower and Khrushchev."
 Most of the stories were begged to a recent Gallup poll, and also quoted editorial comment in the United States and Britain.
 The Soviet leaders have made no secret of the fact they would like nothing better than such an invitation. Khrushchev has said the only reason he has not gone to Washington is that he has not been invited.
 Western diplomats in Moscow
  say a meeting between Khrush- chev and Eisenhower would be a sort of crowning achievement of Kremlin efforts since the death of Stalin to break down the western worlds ostracism of Russia and to establish Soviet prestige and re- spectibility.

 When he couldn't get anyone to check him out, he started idly reading magazine at the check stand. That's when police cruised by, and found CD the safe burg lary, and CD Smith idly reading his magazine.

 Then he politely said, Thank you," bade the officers goodnight, and went off, eventually finding an all-night grocery store one with people inside it.

Sputnik l Believed Down After
 Three Months and 5, ,OOO,OOO Miles

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, R Sput- nix I, which burst upon the world Last Oct. 4 as history's first man. made satellite, may have died qui- etly yesterday unseen by human eyes.
 American astronomers say the 23-inch, l84-pound sphere has been "lost" for the past month. They base their prediction of its death upon orbit calculations car ried forward from observations made in late November and early December.
 Dr. Fred L. Whipple, director of the Smithsonian Astrophyscal Observatory, says it's impossible to pinpoint just where the final flaming plunge into the earth atmosphere may take place.
 He expects it was yesterday but i've just don't know " he ex- plained.
 The Smithsonian alerted it's 15O moonwatch teams turnout the world to maintain a death watch for the satellite Observation of it's final dive is of the utmost sci entific importance, the observa- tory says.
 The Soviets have issued reports on the satellites total revolutions but no information on it's position.
 The number of trips since its 1aunching-over 1850 yesterday morning be calculated with out any observations.
 In it's nearly three months, the satellite has travelled about 35,- 100000 miles at upwards of 18,- 900 miles an hour. This is about equal to the minimum distance to Mars, more than enough to reach Venus and more than one- third of the distance to the sun.
 pr. Whipple believes the final stage rocket that launched Sput- nix I fell the night of Nov. 30.
 Russia first maintained the rocket was still aloft, then said it plunged 'in the Territory of Alaska and the west coast of America" but finally dropped the subject.
