personalities are more likely to re-
member this community for Jones'
enterprise as unofficial city greet
err" than for almost any other
reason.
Unofficial "City Greeter"
For II they do not come by train
Jones is just as likely to rush down
to the bus terminal or the airport
to record their signatures for pos
terity.
His most recent additions were
the Misses Germany, Luxembourg,
Denmark and Thailand, who were
on their way to the Miss Univ
erse' contest in Miami, Fla.
But these signatures might pale
in companions with those Of Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt, President
Eisenhower, Bernard Baruch,
Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Billy
Graham, Clark Gable and a host
Of European chieftains of today
and yesterday.
1900 Autographs
Jones has completed his 300th
book, a collection which includes
some 1900 autographs.
The first name he got was that
Of humorist VIII Rogers. Jones,
then a telegraph runner, delivered
a wire to Rogers hotel room. Rog-
ers told him that:
Every boy should have a hobby.
Take this dime and go out and get
yourself an autograph book"
Jones did and Rogers wrote:
Each time we make a friend, we
grow a little VIII Rogers"
Gets Rockefeller Dime
A dime also was given to him
by the late John d. Rockefeller
Sr., who autographed his book
with save your money"
But Jones was momentarily
fortunate with another multi-mill-
ionaire, John Pierpont Morgan.
Confronted by a smiling Jones
and his autograph book, Morgan
clustered:
I'm kind Of particular about
signing my name. Who are you
anyway" He was told and Jones
got his autograph.
The pages Of his books read like
a brief synopsis Of the last four
decades.
Herbert Hoover, FDR, Harry s.
Truman and Ike have all signed.
Jones probably has the signature
Of the next president, too. Both
Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice
President Richard M. Nixon are
in the book.
When Jones Is not working as
redcap and autograph hound. he's
collecting money for the National
Foundation.
'NOne-Man Crusade
In his one-man crusade over "a
years, he personally has raised
nearly $500 for the kitty add
ing $500 during his last vacation
in January.
He's 50 popular that when the
railroad tried to abolish the redcar
job in 1858, local pressure forced
the ACL to reconsider. A week
later, James was back at his old
post.
That's the story Of 5O-year-old
James Jones.
Oh, yes. And there's also Jack
Paar and NilIita Khrushchev.
That would about complete
Jones' collection until somebody
else became famous enough to be
added to the redcap's personal

TIE WEEK N
RECORDS
BY Albert Andersen

The release this week centers on
music that ranges from jazz in the
swing and ballad idioms to classi-
cal music Of various shades and
forms. And well it might, for the
releases issued since the early
summer hull have been varied and
boIntiful- A cross section of these
new works Is presented here for
the benefit Of our readers
Hamp Swings Again
Swing is represented by Lionel
Hampton and his orchestra, and II
you've ever seen Hamp and his
men work, you know that's saying
a lot. But although basically a
swinging album, Silver Vibes, 4"
which is the title of Hamp's new
offering for Columbia Records, also
has its mellower side, with such
favorites as Speak Low" on which
the vibraharpist leader excels,
DAY By Day and Blue Moon"
woven into the overall pattern.
These get special treatment from
Hamp and his rhythm section,
while others in the set are given
the traditional big beat treatment.
"Silver Vibes" Is to me an in
teresting album which Hamp's fans
should enjoy. However, when such
numbers as Flying Home" and
"Hamp's Boogie" are left out Of
the pattern, somewhere, somehow,
the orchestra's drive Is lacking.
And drive is Hamp's major forte.
Just the same, 1t Is good to dig
the hardworlxing Hamp in a more
relaxed mood.
Theresa Brewer Wakes Great
Theresa Brewer is a singer with
distinctive style and pleasant
voice, both Of which qualities are
recognized to the fullest In her
new album, MY Golden Favorites'
on the Coral label She runs the
gauntlet from standard ballads to
lively uptempo tunes with fine
orchestra backing. Basically, how
ever, the LIP IL a ballad entry
touching on the romantic theme.
This Is readily discernable in such
tunes as Let Me Go, Lover" you
Send Me" and Empty Arms" all
expertly handled by Theresa. In
fact, she does herself proud on al
the songs, which may also turn
out to be big favorites with her
fans.
DvOralI's 4th Symphony
Record fans who are acquainted
with Dvorak knows how much i'm
agination and feeling he projects
into his compositions, especially
the symphonies. And when his
works are played by the meticul-
Gus London Symphony Orchestra
under the baton Of Antal Dorati,
it all makes for the utmost in lis
tening pleasure.
This is exactly what happens
on a new Mercury LIP recording
featuring two Of Dvorak's out
standing works: his Symphony No
4 in G major, Opus ss, and earn
avail Overture. The symphony feat
ures brilliant orchestration, while
the overture Is melodic and thought
provoking.
Neither time nor space will per-
nit an explanation Of the SYM
phony or its background, but the
four movements 1t entails are the
most arresting to be, heard on re-
cord The outstanding feature, Of
course, Is the gradual buildup to-
ward the climax. The overture ID
more subdued. On both, the orches-
ira performs outstandingly under
DoratPs direction.
II you have a relaxing afternoon
to spend at home, there can be no
better way to use 1t than by listen
ing to the Dvorak compositions.

other night but liked the way my
friend Myron Cohen told it better
a few years back;
A man called his cronies to his
deathbed. They'd howled, hooted,
played poker through the years
and the dying man was way ahead.
He had one last request-to be
buried in his full-dressed suit, be-
hind the wheel of a brand new
Cadillac hardtop.
His wishes were followed to the
letter. At the funeral service he
sat, fully attired as though for a
night on the town, at the wheel
of the new car.
AS the two attendants lowered
the Caddy into the earth, one turn
ed to the other and said, Man

Steel Output
Due to Slide
To6O% Rate

CLEVELAND. May 81 (AP) i.
Production of steel, which was
at 80 per cent of capacity in
April. will drop to about go per
cent during the July 4 holiday
week, and that will be the 1860
bottom, Steel Magazine said
yesterday.
Last weeks "A point decline
in steel operations was the
sharpest of the year, Easter
week excepted, and the output
of 1.9 million ingot tons was
equal to 66.9 per cent capacity,
the weekly journal of metal
working reported.
Although percentage Of cap
acity used is below 1859 for the
first five months of 1860, tom
mage turned out by mills will be
about the same, Steel said.
This is because rated weekly
capacity of 2,S49,306 for 1860
exceeds last years weekly cap
acity by nearly $4,000 tons.
Last years tonnage was 53.4
million through May. and for
1860 the f1ve-month figure will
be about 53.5 million tons, the
magazine said, with nine mil
lion tons produced this month.

Quontico Marine Gets
Medal for Saving 3

QUANTICO, Va, July 90
(AP).-A Marine sergeant has
been awarded the Navy Marine
Corps Medal for saving three
lives after an automobile acci-
dent a year ago today.
The award was presented at
a parade yesterday to acting
M/Sergt. George E. McGarry of
Mclean, Va.
Sergt. McGarry, so, pried his

proposed, it would apply only
to lots averaging $4,000 and
10000 square feet.
Mr.. Neumann and Mr.. Fried
man urged the council to per-
init use of private open space
to balance smaller lots. Mr.,
Vinton opposed anything short
OF donation to the county for
this land.
Buford Hayden, a Bethesda
planning consultant, supported
the idea of using average lot
zoning in all zoning claSsifi-
cations.
In other business, Samuel
FiShman of the Burnt Mills
Estates and Gardens Citizens
Association urged the council
to pass a law extending the
notice for hearings before the
County Board of Appeals from
seven to 80 days.
Edwin L. Bright. board of
appeals chairman, supported a
15-day notice in special ex-
ception cases but opposed ex-
tension of the notice period
in variant cases.
The council took no action
on this or the average lot size

anced against larger ones.
Blair Lee, III, chairman of
the open space committee, said
the proposal is primarily de-
signed to aid the county in OBJ
tanning free land for schools,
parks and other public uses.
1T is another device to pro-
vide open space in our rapidly
filling suburbia," he said.
John w. Neumann, attorney
for two builders associations,
said average lot zoning has
allowed Fairfax County, Va,
to obtain much open space that
otherwise would not have been
acquired or would have been
very expensive.
Warren j. Vinton, president
of the Montgomery County
Citizens Planning Association,
said the proposed law was a
good idea but still only a
rather small and hesitant step
away from the depressing
monotony of present zon-
ing"
1--WE should not kid ourselves
that this is a substitute for
paying out real money for the
parklands we need" he said.

Guard Accused
In Shop Thefts

A shopping center guard was
accused by Prince Georges
