ARENA

son of operation.
Only George Washington,
among the colleges, continues
to use the arena as a home
base. Maryland and George
town both have relatively new
plants and CIV is considering
building its own in the near
future. The arena has a pro
hockey team, the Presidents of
the Eastern League.
Lynn resigned his position as
vice president Of the Fairfax
Distributing Co., a wholesale
jewelry distributor, several
months ago and told his brok-
erS to find him a business.
MY family is crazy over
Washington" he said. I'VE
came here in 1947 and we love
it. So I wanted a business so
I could stay here"
Lynn, his wife and two sons
Johnny, 7. and Laurence, A.
live in a split-level home at
4445 Twenty-ninth street NV.
Ice Business Profitable
The ice business Lynn has
purchased is a going, profitable
concern. built up over the years
by the tireleSs, imaginative
Uline, who came to these shores
from Holland at the age Of 16
and began his career as a stone
digger in a Cleveland quarry.
Uline owned his first ice
plant before he was 81 and in
the following years took out
patents on nearly 10 inventions,
most of them in use throughout
the world in the manufacturing
and distribution Of ice. His au-
tomato cube-cutting machine
is an eXamle. Another is his
machine that cuts large hunks
of ice into 25-pound cakes. He
sold the patent rights for that
one for $l50,000.
But while Uline was one of
the biggest successes the ice
business has ever known, he was
something less than an over
whelming success as a sports
promoter. He built his arena
for 100000 with an optimism
illogically founded on his sue
cess in the ice field.
Several hockey teams failed
to make the grade, but the
cruelest blow to the ambitious
Dutchman was the failure of
his beloved Capitols, a pro bas-
ketball team that was a big sue
cess in the won-lost columns,
but flop at the gate.
Uline threatened to diSband
the Caps and the pro hockey
team of that time in 1947 and
b a m e d unfair competition"
from the Armory for his trou-
bles. Everything that is booked
at the Armory is a loss to u.s."
he said. Besides college basket
ball games. the Armory booked
such things as the flower show,
home show and auto show. Such
events still are scheduled there,
with the exception of college
basketball.
Uline finally made good a
portion of his threats in jan
uary, 1852, when in one week
he disbanded the basketball and
hockey teams. But he never
converted to a cold storage
plant, as he repeatedly threat
ened.
In another crisis, the arenas
license almost was revoked by
Health Department officials be-
cause of inadequate ventilation
in 1851. The arena finally got
its license one day before the
deadline after a running battle
that lasted almost a year.
Lynn says he plans no
changes in arena and ice plant
personnel. Mrs. Elizabeth Roth
geb Stein, vice president and
general manager of the plant,
began as the plant cashier 25
years ago. George w. (ChieD
Miller, executive in charge Of
ice making, started with Uline
more than 40 years ago.
THE people there know the
business" Lynn says. Il don't.
My job now is to learn"

Elbridge. Durbrow, United

director of the foreign aid pro-
gram in Wet Nam, challenged a
charge by Mr.. Colegrove that
United States officials had not
used proper care in overseeing
a steel contract for a railroad
bridge in Wet Nam.
Mr.. Gardiner said Mr.. Cole
groves statements were incor-
rect and that aid officials made
"a good record" on that trans
action.
In a similar vein. Mr.. Dur
brow contended that Mr.. Cole
grove seems to have relied to
"a considerable extent on un-

inaccurate information which
give a most untrue picture OF
the use made Of American tax
payer money in Wet Nam"
Vietnamese officials have told
him, Mr.. Durbrow said, "that

The Colegrove series also was
criticized by Francis, Broderick,

himself as a volunteer witness,

Contented Cows?
Sure, Says British,
Mattress Maker

NEW YORK. Aug. 4 Cap -
A British dairy farmer turned
up here today with a report
that cows will give more milk
If they sleep on foam rubber
mattresses.
Anthony Bramley, 56-year-
old retired cavalry major who
operates a 120-acre dairy farm
at Kidlington, England, said he
knows what he is talking about
because he has tried it. !" ?
Two years ago, he said. he
began experimenting with a
foam rubber mattress covered
with plastic as substitute for
the straw traditionally used in
barn stalls. ,.s II, ..
"For q long time straw has
been a problem and ] tried to
find some labor-saving, hy-
giehic. and comfortable alter
native" he said.
Mr.. Bramiey said he started
bedding a dozen Of his milk
COWS on rubber mattresses and
that. the results were surpris-
ing.
He found, he said, that the
mattresses make the cows
"happy, contented and. COM
Portable. AS a result, they
tend to sleep longer and pro-
duce more milk, he added.
Mr.. Bramley then set up a
company to manufacture the
mattresses at about $50 each.
He came here in hope of sell
ing the patent to an American
firm. 49,.

President on
IVA Objection
Rr fhe Assncfated pr.ss

The Senate Public Works
Committee today approved a
measure to remove from the
iva Self-financing bill a pro-
vision President Eisenhower
doesn't want.
The financing bill cleared
Congress several days ago, The
President has. until Friday to

Prime purpose of the self

the Tennessee Valley Authority
to issue up to $3.50 million in
bonds to finance construction
Of new power plants. Bonds
would be repaid from power

The measure contains a FRO

the legislative branch in con-
trolls over the IVA construction
program.
The bill approved today
