to the school board.
Mr.. Sweeny, Of IA West
Windsor avenue, is a book
binder at the Government
Printing ONCE. He was nomi-
mated by Vice Mayor Joseph N.
Pancoast, who said the Del Ray
area needs representation on
the board. Five councilmen
voted for Mr.. Sweeny.
However, Mayor Leroy s
Bendheim and Councilman
John j. Ewald supported STAN
ley A. Abercrombie, SOB NAL
colin place, assistant secretary
of the National Commission or
School Safety of the National
Education Association. He was
indorsed by nearly all parent
teacher association groups in
the city and by former school,
board member Herman G
Moeller.
Split Follows Pattern
Mr.. Sweeny succeeds Ralph
H. Boyle, jr., who resigned after
moving from the school district
he represented.
The council split last night
was similar to the one that
occurred when Mr.. Boyle was
named to replace Mr.. Moeller
who had voted to comply with
"a Federal court order to admit
some Negro students to white
schools.
In the public discussion prior
to the appointment, Nathaniel
M. McKitterick. a PTA leader.
told the councilmen, IF this
goes on, I don't think there's
much hope. If it becomes in
evitable that school appoint
ments are made solely on the
basis Of politics, what will hap
pen when the people wake ur
at election time?"
Mr.. Abercrombie's supporters
stressed his qualifications as q
professional educator. They
questioned Mr.. Sweeny's edu-
cational experience.
Mr., Sweeny's hackers, how
ever, said the school board
should not be composed Of edu-
Gators. They attacked Mr.
Abercrombie's NEA afflliation q.
a possible conflict of interest.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sweeny have
two sons, one a recent graduate
of George Washington High
School and the other attending
the Mount Vernon Elementary
School.
Weigh Port Study
In other action, the coun-
Gil voted to study the feasibil-
ity of hiring a conSultant tc
map plans for redeveloping and
expanding the city's port facil-
titles.
The councilmen heard a rec
ommendation by City Manager
E. G.. Heatwole that a board OF
port commissioners be set UP
to develop the port. Mayor
IBendheim suggested that the
council itself serve as such q
board.
Under the port rehabilitation
proposal, the city would rebuild
and relocate some of the pres
ent facilities, construct a large
municipal wharf and improve
real and highway facilities tc
serve the mile-long waterfront
Councilmen also referred tc
the planning commission a re.

Anti-Loitering
Rule Would Apply
Only to Children

Thet Districts proposed anti
lettering regulation would ap-
ply only to children Is years OF
under, officials said today.
Earlier, the corporation coun-
sells Office had reported that
the proposed regulation would,
from a legal standpoint, have
to cover both juveniles and
adults.
Today, Corporation Counsel
Chester H. Gray said the ear
lier, of -the-cuff, opinion had
been revised. Mr.. Gray said he
now feels that the regulation,
aimed at curbing dangerous
street loafing at night, can be
drafted to apply only to ju-
venileS.
The theory which would
allow the juvenile group to be
singled out, is that the regu-
lation would be for the benefit
of the child.
Mr.. Gray's comments were
made after a two-hour con-
ference on the proposed regu-
lation with Police Inspector
John E. Winters and other
officials.

CD Siren Failures
Emburruss County

Failure of more than half of
Montgomery County's 46 sirens
to sound in Mondays area-wide

was a source of embarrassment
to county officials.
Mrs. Stella B. Werner, presi-
dent Of the county council, in
quired at yesterdays council
meeting what had happened to
the county'S warning klaxons.
The siren breakdown, Mrs.
Werner said, makes us all very
embarrassed" She asked Coun-
ty Manager M. L. Reese, who
also acts as county director of
Civil Defense: "Where were
we?"
"A year ago." Mr.. Reese re-
piled, I'VE turned over our CD
sirens to the Federal Govern
nent for maintenance and oper-
alton"

line that" Mrs. Werner said.

Contractors
On Job Bios

4Hc DlSITlCI may CanCei some
contracts on construction prof.
ectS where Negroes are barred
because Of race, Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin warned
yesterday.
The purpose Of this move,
Mr.. Mclaughlin said, would be
to make examples" of con-
tractors in order to help elimi-
nate discrimination in Job hir-
ingS.
The city's construction con-
tracts carry a racial non-dis-
elimination provision.
Yesterday, Mr.. Mclaughlin,
speaking at commissioners
conference with representatives
of Sub-contracting groups and
trade union locals, said, Some
thing has to be done" to solve
the discrimination problem
The answer, he went on, may
lie in making examples to jar
things loose"
The Commissioner explained
after the meeting that he had
in mind the idea of cancelline
some contracts as an example
that the city means business
on its non-discrimination pol
icy.
1t was the strongest state
ment on the controversy yet
made by Mr.. Mclaughlin, who
is president of the Board OF
Commissioners.
Yesterdays session was the
second meeting by the Com
missioners with the officials of
sub = contracting associations
and trade unions. It followed
a meeting with a small group
Of leading contractors on the
nondiscrimination question.
The union contractors have
pointed to the fact that they
hire through referral systems
from the unions. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin yesterday took the
position that the city must in
sist on compliance in the nom
discrimination requirement and
that it cannot allow this pro-
vision to be ignored merely
because of the union referral
setup.
AS to the unions, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said that the situa-
tion would be improved if they
carried out their beautiful res
olutions" on nondiscrimination.
Last August, the Districts
Council on Human Relations,
which has charged that some
unions practice racial discrim-
ination, urged the Commits
sioners to take steps to tighten
up on enforcement of the non
discrimination policy.
Among those present at yes
terday's session were represent
atives of the AFL-CIO Civil
Rights Department.

It was a good lunch: Grape

salad in an aspic that was
not sweet, f1let mignon,

The talk was about the

had been held in the same
hotel the night before and
had been a great success
although the debutante list
was shorter than usual-the
list included two Symingtons
and a Du Pont.
Everyone was disturbed
because next year the cotil-
lion will be held on a Friday
instead of the traditional
first Monday in December.

incidents within two weeks at
two galleries are too close for
comfort. So far, no additional
guards have been placed on

feeling who's next?"
Still unsolved, are the fol-
lowing incidents:
A bronze sculpture Torso"

inches tall and was appearing
in the gallery's 14th Area Show,
1t carried a price tag of SIS.
$4,000 Theft
A $4,000 Rousseau painting
Pink Candle"-was stolen
from the Phillips Gallery.
probably last Friday. Th e
paintings frame was later
found in Rock Greek Park.
A 100000 Rembrandt at the
Corcoran - Man With Hat
Holding Scroll" - was found
Monday to have been sliced
with a sharp instrument in an
apparent attempt to cut it out
Of its frame. The theft failed
because the painting is on wood,
not canvas.
The theft at the Phillips is
the first in 10 or IL years
though the gallery has never
used guards. Staff members,
however, stroll constantly
through the exhibition rooms.
The Corcoran, currently en-
gagged in a fund drive, has five
guards and could probably use
more.
Ofiicials of both galleries,
however, feel guards can dis
turb the pleasant, peaceful at
mosphere of a gallery.
Most heavily patrolled of all
the galleries is the National
Gallery of Art. Some 10 guards

The
Rambler
Gets Back
Late for Dinner
By GEORGE KENNEDY

This was intended to be a
different sort of column, but
the way things turned out it
Is going to be an explanation
Of why the Rambler was late
for dinner last night.
There are two wonders he
has seen in his several dec
AIDES Of walking this earth
that top all others. One is
the falls of the Niagara and
the other is the tapping of
an open-hearth furnace.
At present writing he is
inclined to think that the
man-made wonder is the
more impressive.
The other day he got a
telephone call from the
Bethlehem Office. why don't
you come over and see how
well we are doing?"
Invitation accepted. On
the way over in a bus, which
is the most comfortable and
convenient way to go to Bal
timore, he noted in the Wall
Street Journal that steel
production this week will be
the highest in history-well
over 2.5 million tons. The
previous peak was In April
Of this year.
Evening star., 1959-12-09

AT THE PLANT he learned
that the expansion program
which started in 1855 and
ended in 1858 has made
6parrows Point the biggest
steel plant in the world
10 blast furnaces, IS open
hearthS, each with a capac-
ity of more than $50 tons
a heat.
This open-hearth tapping
was the most dramatic thing
of its kind he had ever seen.
For eight hours molten iron
from the blast furnaces,
scrap steel, limestone and
manganese had been cook
ing over gas" while its car
bon content was reduced
and its tensile strength and
elasticity were improved.
The workers had been con-
stantly taking samples to
check carbon content and
checking temperatures with
an electric thermometer on
a 10-foot pole, until the
"bath" within was almost at
5000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Below the furnace in the
pit was a great steel ladle
shaped like a coffee cup and
lined with ceramic clay
bricks. The ladle was enough
to hold the 280 tons of mol
ten liquid that were to pour
out. The foreman showed an
explosive on a 10-foot pole
against the furnace door,
then ran back and threw the
electric switch that caused a
tremendous BANG!
We were standing on a
balcony just above and to
one side of the ladle. Then
came the surprise. The car
bon content Of the molten
metal had become low and
the men threw in 50-pound
paper sacks of river COAL"
anthracite ground almost to
a powder. Each sack, and
there were 10 of them,
caused a burst of fame that
reached the ceiling 40 feet
above.
A fundamentals preacher
would have loved it as an
illustration of hell fire.
Then the Rambler was
taken to the launching of
a ship, a 29,OOO-ton tanker,
the Gulfspray. The launch
ing went splendidly.
Then the guests of Bethle-
hem Ship Building and Gulf
Oil, about 500 in number,
repaired to the Sheraton
Belvedere for lunch.

for anyone to be alone with a
painting.
However, the National has
never been able to figure out
the strange case of the chewing
gum which occurred in July of
1858.
Early one morning, guards
discovered a wad of gum stuck
to the lips of Antonis Mor's
Portrait of a Young Man.
Though the gum carried a
flngerprint, the culprit was
never traced.
The Freer Gallery and the
National Collection Of Fine
Arts, both under the Smithso-
nian, have round-the-clock
guard protection and have
escaped any incidents in recent
times.
Copy Suspect
What puzzles police and
prompted a Corcoran official to
blame the thefts as "screwball''
is the belief that a stolen mas
terpiece would be next to i'm
possible to sell or exhibit.
Police feel the Phillips pic
ture may have been stolen by
someone who wanted to copy it.
Last September, in Toronto,
burglars walked of with $780,
900 worth of masterpieces from
the Toronto Art Gallery. Then,
in October, the paintings were
discovered in a private garage
and returned to the gallery.
At that time, speculation held
that the paintings might be sold
undercover in Europe.
