WE MET THE DIRECTOR,
Col. John Boyd Coates, jr., a
plump, vigorous man whose
brown eyes, brown hair and
ruddy cheeks blend well
with his khaki uniform.
1t seemed fitting that this
work was progressing in an
institution that bears the
name of Walter Reed. AS
everyone who has read Paul
de Kruif'S "Microbe Hun
ters" knows, it was Maj.
Walter Reed of the United
States Army Medical Corps
who, during the occupation
of Cuba after the Spanish
American War, proved that
yellow fever is carried by
a m osquito, the aedeS
aegypti. As a result, yellow
fever has almost been wiped
off the earth. Not a single
case occurred among our
troops in World War II.
There is another disease
carried by mosquitoes-the
female anopheles. 1t affects
more people. 1t is malaria.
One-fourth of the worlds
population lives in malaria
infested areas.
United States Army medi-
cine has been on the front
line in the fight against
malaria. That fight may very
we'll have saved more lives
since World War II than
were lost during it.

A group of grim-faced pres
ervationists gave the go-ahead
this morning for the Sandblast-
ing of James Monroe's 158-year-
old house.
The three-story structure at
2017 I street NV. was acci-
dentally painted red last week,
and since then everyone has
agreed that the paint has to
go, but no one could face up to
the Sandblasting.
For two hours this morning,
sandblaSters, painters, archi-
tects and preservationists all
debated the best way to get rid
of the paint.
They stood in front of the
house, which now is head
quarters of the Arts Club of
Washington and discussed al
tentative methods, tried Scien-
tific experiments on the paint
and, f1nally-after a long la
ment-the sandblaster was told
to start.
''Never the Same"
Its safe to say that sand
blasting is the last thing you
like to do to historical build
ing" said Robert Garvey, jr.
executive director of the Ma.
tlonal Trust for Historical
Preservation. 1T may make thu
building look good but it's
never the same afterwards"
"It's like placing a sanding
machine on a piece of paintec
wood" Georgetown Architect
Walter Macomber said. "Tht
paint will come out, but the
texture of the wood will bt

son. He also lived in it during

The
Rambler
Is Reminded
Of q Porudox
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

by GEOkGE KENNEDY
1t seems that medicine
makes great gains in saving
lives during those organized
efforts to kill known as wars.
The Rambler was remind
ed of this paradox yester-
day at Forest Glen.
A visit to that former
girls school on the B&O
tracks just north of Wash
ington is rewarding at any
time. Especially now. The
many trees are in splendid
foliage after this rainy sum-
mer. Forest Glen was the
National Park Seminary
before the war.
The school became an an
mex to Walter Reed Army
Medical Center not long
after Pearl Harbor. 1t was
used as a convalescent area
for men who had lost a limb
or limbs. 1t still is.
The founder of the school
constructed romantic build
ings with everything but a
moat and a 6rawbridge in
the glen, which is heavily
wooded with evergreenS as
we'll as oaks. He peopled its
winding roads and walks
with life-sized statues which
he purchased on annual pill
grimages to Italy.
Alas, someone has broken
a wing off one of the gar
goyles guarding the doorway
of the main building. Alas,
alas, the break shows that
the gargoyle was not carved
from stone, but is a plaster
of-PariS cast.
In one of the buildings,
work is under way on a his
tory of Army medicine in
World War II. Fifteen vol
umeS have come off the
presses; 48 are scheduled.

Acid Test Made

Neither of the architects was
very pleased with the idea of
sandblasting and asked Mr..
Fusco to apply hydrofuoric
acid to a small area of the
paint.
The acid. which could burn
through a persons skin, didn't
even faze the paint. The ex-
perts went up to the wall,
examined the brick, and hud-
died by themselves.
"The blasting will take the
soft parts of the brick out, u
Mr.. Macomber said. There's
no doubt about that. But
there's nothing else we can do
Mr.. Peter nodded in agree
ment.
The decision was left to Mr.
Baxter. He said he would
abide by the experts opinion
Probably the saddest one
present was Harry Jaffe, whose
firm put the paint on in the
first place. He's paying for the
whole blast job.

sandblast were the sandblaSt-
erS themselves.
They're getting a thousand
dollar cleaning job on that
brick that they'd need anyway"
said Anthony Fusco, a partner
in the firm which will do the
work, pointing to bricks which,
unpainted, showed the CRIME
of age.
At about 10 am, Robert
Miller, a sandblaSter for Mr..
Fusco's firm, cleaned a 6-foot
area of the paint. The shiny,
almost new-looking bricks con-
trasted sharply with the others.
Winthrop Baxter, treasurer
of the Arts Club, decided that
he wanted consultation about
whether to continue sandblast-
ing, and he asked Mr.. Garvey
to call in Mr.. Macomber and
Architect Walter Peter, both of
whom have had extensive ex-
perience in preservation of old
houses.

There is big difference in power mowers that
goes past the price tag, beyond the pretty

is no guarantee. How do you know you're get
