Student Visitors
Get Into Jam by
Diving in River

Two visiting high school
youths, showing off for the
benefit of some girls, topped off
a cruise to Mount Vernon early
today by leaping into the Poto-
mac River after the ship docked
at the waterfront, police said.
The divers, Jerry Mcbride.
II, and Ronald Lancaster, 18,
were fished out unhurt, but
awed at the commotion they
had caused.
Two fire companies, a rescue
squad, scout car and police
wagon rushed to Pier 4, but the
youths had already been pulled
out by Coy H. Garrison, a spe-
cial policeman aboard the cruise
ship, the Mount Vernon.
I'VE didn't think we'd get in
trouble" Ronald said.
The students, from Moore
High School in Oklahoma City,
were hustled off in the police
wagon to District General Hos
pital, where they were treated
for exposure.
The boys were not charged.
THE police just gave us a
good bawling out" Ronald said.

The students were allowed
time to take a quick tour and
the combination driver and
guide pointed out the famous
exhibits.
There was a scale model of
a vault that contains the Con-
stitution, the Bill of Rights
and the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. The model was low
cred into a bombproof shelter,
| Just as the main vault is low
cred into similar shelter in
the reaches of the Archives
each night.
| The neighboring National
Gallery Of Art received an even
quicker inspection by the group.
The students we're told that
an afternoon would be left free
of group activities so that they
could revisit any buildings Of
their choice.
The guide referred to the
Natural History Museum as "the

dents browsed around for less
than an hour.

nous slice of cake.

that meal hungry" commented
a 17-year-old.
After lunch the students
boarded their buses and looked
forward to one of the high
lights of the trip-a visit to
the Capitol.
1T looks like the before in
one of these before and after
ads" observed Jan Bass, who
made the trip on crutches. She
referred to the current remod-
cling and repainting.
Wait till I tell my old man
about this" ragged one student
when he discovered that there
was a l5-cent per person charge
for a guided tour of the Capt.
tol. The price of the tour was
included in the total of $62 for
the complete trip.
Il don't give a darn" an
other student interrupted. Our
elected representatives conduct
our business here and we
should have a right to see them
without being taxed all over
again"
1t was an unhappy group
that met its guide. He seemed
unequally unhappy.

The planners feel the master

The students got a rapid fire
history of the Capitol. The guide
knew his facts but talked too
fast.
The only observation of legis-
lators in action was on the
Senate side of the Capitol.
One Senator was praising a
new book. Most of his talking
was reading reviews of the book
into the Congressional Record,
the guide later explained.
In less than five minutes, the
group was ushered out of the
gallery-others were waiting
the youngsters were told.
Somehow everyone took a
wrong turn after leaving the
guide, who had hustled off to
pick up another group of stu
dents, and all wound up in the
Senate subway. 1t took three
or four trips but the entire
class got to ride. Everyone en-
joyed it.
From the Senate Office
Building, the group walked to
the Supreme Court and the
Library of Congress.
The fountain in front of the
court looked tempting to sew
eral girls in the group who
had made the mistake of wear
ing high heels. But they re-
sisted the temptation to wade.
After a quick look at the
Library Of Congress, the stu
dents boarded the buses and
returned to the hotel for a

MIR. JESSEL'S mother in
the box became so excited
that she did not wait for
the translation into English.
She burst out with:
George, George, what

And Mr.. Jessel, turning
from the audience to his
mother, shouted:
she says, No."
The translator has to
carry the show.
That was the situation
with the address of his
Royal Majesty King NAH
endra of Nepal. He had a
good translator in his Am
baSsador, RiShikesh Shaha.
His Majesty, a slight man
with horn-rimmed glasses,
did not know it but he was
standing on a soft drink box
covered by a rug. Otherwise
he would not have been seen
above the lectern.
His Ambassador needed no

tions at a press conference

labeled "the best yet" by the
group.
The last day of the tour
started too early for the ma
jority of the students.
Most missed breakfast-they
were too tired from the pre-
vious nights activities. The
Lincoln Memorial was the first
stop and it seemed the most
impressive to all the students.
They hardly talked above a
whisper. After taking pictures,
they left for Arlington Gene
terry.
Although the students in the
group from Cincinnati in gen.
eral were dressed properly, a
member of the guard at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
complained of the attire of some
tourists.
I'VE wish people would show
proper respect and not wear
brief shorts" he said.

just toured the main house
and let it go at that. They said
they felt the same as they had
about the White House, Here,
too, they stood in a long line
and then shuffled through only
a few rooms.
Few understood what they
saw in the main house and the
class quickly assembled in tht
souvenir shop. where most of
the students bought their first

Looking down on Metropoli-

shock.
Washington and Baltimore
suddenly become two man.
made glaciers headed for a
collision.
And seeing the scars these
glaciers already have left on
the earth is disturbing.
Trees - natures pinfeathers
have been plucked unmerci-
fully from much of the area.
Assembly lines of houses havs
been put down in their stead.
The subdivisions from the air
look like architect models with
out their trees of green sponge.
Rivers, too, are tinged by this
glacier. They show stains of
pollution as they wind their
way through farms and towns.
Every so often there is an
oasis of trees or field. But
nearby relentless bulldozers
threaten. They tirelessly scrape
off the green of the fields and
leave acres of red clay for the
builder to put his houses on.
But the planners in the hell
copter say there is lots of hope
in the picture down below.
They say the glacier need not
be so brutal on the land; that
it can be steered, even slowed.
But we've got to think in
terms of the region" said Mel
vim E. Scheidt, former director
of the Baltimore Regional
Planning Council and now pro-
gram adviser for the United
States Public Health Service.
We've got to think big.

IT is A RULE that speak
ers at these luncheon meet
ings will answer questions.
There were questions about
little NepalS relations with
her big neighbors north and
south, China and india.
They were not difficult for
the King and his Ambas-
sador. They will not start a
war.
Then there was a queS-
ton about the Kings dress.
He was wearing a brown
double = breasted sharkskin
suit over a golden tunic
draped in folds at the neck.
There was a brief con-
sultation and the Ambas-
sador said:
His Majesty has COM
manded me to answer the
question in the following
manner. Our dress has been
this way for quite some time
but it is no wonder that it
shows a mixture, as there is
nothing today in our culture
that does not show some
Western influence"
That got a hand.
And then Ed EdStrom,
president of the club, asked
the final question. 1t was,
"Is there an Abominable
Snowman" AS the Ambas-
Sador translated it, His
Majesty seemed a bit an
noyed. He reared back, shook
his head and said one word
that George Jessel would
have translated as mo"
But the Ambassador said:
His Majesty has author
lied me to say in his behalf
that he isn't an expert him
self, nor an anthropologiSt,
nor a zoologist. He wouldn't
venture to say anything def
initely or seriously about
the existence of this crea-
ture. But all the same, in
his opinion, it profits our
country to keep the myth
alive"

The

The King of NepaTs talk

by George JeSSel. 1t was in
one of the big revueS, ex-
travaganzaS that cost $6 a
seat and were worth it.
They were stilted, it is
true. The routine was rigid.
You always knew what was
coming next.
But there came a moment
after the visions of beauti-
fully gowned beautiful young
women and dancing girls
whose agility matched the
scantineSS of their dress.
That was when the come
dian had to make good.
In this instance Mr.. JeS-
sci appeared before the cur
tain and explained that the
next number would be a
French drama which he
would translate into English
for the audience and into
Jewish for his mother in the
stage box.
1t was drawing room-or
should l say salon?-drama.
The action was courtShip,
French courtship-all talk.
There were only two
actors, a handsome young
monsieur and a very supe-
rior mademoiselle.
George managed to keep
up with the translation
pretty we'll until the i'm
portant question was asked.
Although Monsieur spoke
in French, there was no
doubt as to the seriousness
of his intent.
With that, Mademoiselle
delivered several thousand
French words in less than
a minute.
