Summit Meeting O-K'd At Ike
 MacMillan COnfab

GETTYSBURG, Pa, R " Presi- dent Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan agreed Saturday on a formula for offering to Soviet Premier Nkita Khrushchev the prospect of a summit conference later this year.
 A proposed draft of the summit meetping plan was dispatched inn mediately to the French and Ger man governments and the other NATO allies for their reaction The Western powers had already agreed to propose a foreign min isters meeting at Geneva begin ming May II - and hold out at least the possibility of a follow up summit conference.
 The Anglo-American agreement was compromise, diplomatic of ficials of both nations told news men. None of the officials, how ever, was ready immediately to sketch the outlines in advance of it's submission to the Allied gov- ernments.
 The agreement was disclosed less than two hours after Eisen- hover and MacMillan began the second day of their talks at Camp David, in the nearby Catoctin Mountains of Maryland.
 MacMillan had come to the United States hoping to persuade Eisenhower, according to all ac- counts, to make a firm pledge for summit meeting this summer.
 With the agreement on the sum- init issue out of the way, Eisen- hover and MacMillan were ready to turn to other topics, such as suspension of nuclear weapons tests.
 The general European situation also was open to review.

Wade Requests Special Funds For Fish Trap Fight

JUNEAU, tN - A bill to pro- vide a $25,00G emergency appro- priation requested by acting Gov ernor Hugh J. Wade was intro duced in the Alaska House late Friday.
 There was no immediate expla- nation from the Governors office or legislative leaders on what emergency the appropriation was to cover. But it seemed clear the money would be used to hire spe- cial legal counsel for Alaska's proposed intervention in the fish trap owners suit against the In- terior Department ban.
 Wade asked the Legislature for special funds for a legal fight against what was then only an ex- pected challenge of the ban. The suit has since been filed. The h. terior Department will handle the case against the trap owners re- quested injunction and Alaska is expected to intervene on the side of the government.

More Detroit Families Plan Summer Migration To Kenai Peninsula

DETROIT, R - The leader of another group of 125 Detroit fam flies which plan to leave for Alas ka in June said today he isn't discouraged by difficulties en- countered by the first caravan now enrOute.
 We warned them about over loading and about leaving this time of year." said Harry Tacina, a 36-year-old automotive sales manager who quit his job recently to plan the June g journey.
 Tacina, an ex-Marine who has been to Alaska, said he foresaw a lot of the troubles which have slowed the '59ers. The group was begged down at Fort Nelson, B. C., five days behind schedule and 1900 miles from their destination - the Kenai Peninsula.
 He said some 600 persons due to leave this summer are part of the same group of '59ers. "We're just going in two different cara vans," he said.

Nearby Fouquier County
Has Interesting Past

Warrenton in connection with
the observance of the coun-
tvs 200th anniversary.
You would learn that Capt.
John Quincy MARI was the
first Confederate soldier killed
at Fairfax Court House in
1861. and that Gen. Lee re-
ceived his first schooling at
Eastern View at Casanova, in
Fauquier County.
You would learn that Ste
phen Mccormick, who lived
from 1874 to 1875, invented
and made the cast-iron mold
board pillow in 1916 at Auburn,
and that he presented one of
his plows to Lafayette, who
took it to France and there
won a premium in a blowing
match at Paris.
And you would learn that
Duval Goldsmith invented the
first coffee percolator at
Warrenton, and that Lycur-
gus w. Caldwell, a Warrenton
editor, clicked off the first
telegraph message, What
hath God wrought" for
Morse on May "a. 1874.
But there is more to the
Fauquier history than un-
usual firsts. There are inter-
eSting lists of old land grants,
stories of Fauquier in early
days and a fine section de-
voted to the county's old
houses.
Even though there is one
small error-William Extra

honor of being twice elected
Governor with James Mon
roe, who was elected in 1899
and again in 1811-the his

WORDS TO LIVE BY.
Edited by william Nichols.

AS readers of This Week
Magazine know, Words to
Live BY" is a weekly series of
essays by eminent persons,
based on quotations that
have figured in their lives.
This collection, the second
since the magazine feature
was begun in 1947, contains
the personal accounts OF 80
well-known men and women.
Avoiding preachment or up
lift, these people for the most
part simply record sayings"
they have found useful or
memorable and tell what the
words have meant in their
experience.
Although the book has some
value simply as an anthology
of quotations (most of them
unfamiliar), it offers more in
its anecdotal insights into
the famous people who re-
call the quotations. The tales
range from Cornelia Otis
SINNERS account of how her
father handled nervous actors
to Rear Admiral George Du-
fek's story of a ship stuck
fast in Polar ice.
Since ''inspirational' is a
word that might repel some
people who would enjoy
reading this book. a better
description would be to say
that it is, in the best sense,
a comforting volume.

What makes Saint-Simon

each tremendous trif1e that
agitated the court, beat by
beat, recording the monstrous
idiocies of protocol squabbles
that were ultimately resolved
by the King. He was as in

wonderful pathos. He draws
