Mrs. Mopp' Cleans VI p
As British Army SoIutes

LEEDS. England. Feb. I
(R).-The British army's tor
scrub-woman took the SALUTE
at her first parade yesterday
with a military band blaring, 9
marchpass by 200 men and q
general at her side.
For 81 years, Kitty Brush
wood, now 66. has applied bel
limited muscle power to putting
q gleam on barrack room floors
But yesterday was the army's
turn to put q gleam on life foI
the little woman known from
CO. to buck private as "ouI
Mrs. Mopp."
Mrs. Brushwood was awarded
the British Empire Medal by
Queen Elizabeth, II, in the New
Years honors list. The citation
complimented Mrs. Brushwood
on her faithful and jealous
services" and said her cheer
fulneSs had helped"generationS
of soldiers.
It was Mrs. Brushwood's owr
regiment-the 7th Leeds Rifle
Battalion Of the Territorial
Army (volunteer reserve)-
which decided to honor hel
like a war hero. A special
parade was called to present
the medal. And with colorS
flying, a band playing and
weapons smartly at the slope
the 200 men marched past or
q parade ground scrubbed a:
cleanly as one Of Mrs. Brush

The cheerful char lady stood

Her eyes glistened with pride
and emotion. Beside her, the

Thurlow. commander Of the
50th Northumbrian Division
rose in rigid salute.
This is a proud day for Mrs
Brushwood, and I am sure q

general said. Then he pinned

SnoWs|ides Kill
81 in Italy,;
Village Buried

ROME, Feb. 8 (AP).-Sunny,
springlike weather coming
after snowstormS has brought
great masses Of snow tumbling
down from the high peaks in
the Alps.
Highways and railroads are
blocked, mountain villages
isolated and at least 81 persons
were killed.
Two giant avalanches so
miles apart killed eight persons
yesterday in Italy's northern
mountains.
Many tons Of snow smashed
down upon the tiny village of
Rochemolles, 6.100 feet up on
Mt. Mellisse on the Italian
French border.
Rescuers dug out seven in
jured persons from houses
shattered by the snow. Bodies
of two men and two women
were found. Eighteen Of the
hamlet's 80 homes were de-
stroyed.
Many Away At Work
The toll in the village of ESQ
people might have been higher,
but most Of the younger people
had left home for the winter
to work at nearby ski resorts
Sixty miles to the east, an
estimated 10 million cubic feet
of snow roared down the side
of Great San Bernard Noun
tain.
The avalanche crushed two
wooden barracks for laborers
on the tunnel being drilled
through the mountain to pro-
vide an all-weather highway
between Italy and Switzerland
Three men and q woman, en-
ployed as caretakers while work
on the tunnel is suspended for
the winter, were killed.
Highway Blocked
Other snowslides yesterday
blocked a highway in the Ital-
ian Aosta Valley. imprisoned
eight big trucks at the Aus
trian-Swiss frontier, covered
the Rome-Paris rail line near
the Village Of Lapraz. France,
and buried q skier on a cross
country trek near Guillestre
France.

other persons in Italy, IL In
Switzerland and 8 In Austria.
Good cheer flowed freely for
$50 tourists trapped in a tun-
mel near Modane. France, by
q snowstorm. Trapped with
them was a truckload Of wine
The tourists, from the Val
d'Isere area, lit bonfires in the
tunnel, heated up the wine and
kept up their spirits. Snow
plows reached them late yes

Jobs in the field in Grades 8
and above ($5,S85 q year and
up) have to be approved by Mr..
Udall'S office. Interior has
about $1,000 employees.
This has raised the question
Of political patronage intruding
on civil service jobs. the first
such wide-scale threat in any
department or agency since the
Kennedy administration took
office. .-..
In announcing the new pol
icy, Mr.. Udall said the purpose
Of this requirement Is to pro.
mote more economy and better
efficiency in the departments
operations. He added. II believe
in the delegation Of authority,
but appointments and person.
mel changes should always be
closely reviewed by new man
agement.
Previously, bureau heads and
various subordinate officials in
the department had the au-
thority to appoint and promote.
A longtime Interior official
close to the situation declared:
Its obvious that the new
team at Interior wants to take
q close look at the situation
and see II qualified Democrats
in or out Of the department
can be placed in key jobs under
civil service. These people. Of
course, must have or secure
civil service status. There's no
intention to put political hacks
In civil service jobs.
But the feeling is that If
you can spot able people with
civil service qualifications. who
also are Democrats and in SYM
pathy with your program, they
should be given the key Jobs.
II don't think that the Sec
retary's action is q political
patronage move, although 1t
may appear so on the surface.
Rather. its the desire Of q new
team to look over the situation
and see which key Jobs are
available.
II don't think the Secre-
tary'S order will remain in ef-
feet permanently. I think 1t
is a temporary move. which
will last only for a few months

New Equipment Is
Added To Hospital

Several pieces Of new equip

rett County Memorial hospital as
the result of a gift Of 81 200, ac-
cording to Henry w. McComas,
administrator.
McComas said the money was
received from the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, Oak Lodge
No. 8, of Loeb Lynn Heights. The
lodge recently disbanded, and it
was decided to turn over the funds
remaining in its treasury to the
hospital.
Before the gift could be made,
it was necessary to secure the ap-
proval of the Grand Lodge Of
Maryland, and upon receiving
this, E. Ray Jones, an officer Of
the lodge, presented a check to
the board of governors at its All
gust meeting.
Two stainless steel instrument
cabinets will be purchased for the
operating room, and a cardiac
alarm will also be obtained Mr.
McComas said this is visual and
audible monitor which sounds an
alarm at the onset of cardiac ar
rest.

Abandoned Western Maryland Mines
Seen AS Possible FaI!Out Shelters

The possibility of using aban-
doned coal mines in Garrett and
Allegany counties as public fall
out shelters was proposed this
week by Governor j. Willard
Tawes in memorandum to
Sherley Ewing, director of the
Maryland Civil Defense Agency
The governor asked Ewing to re-
port on the number and location
of possible sites for shelters. He
said he was deeply concerned
over the problem of providing
ADEQUATE fal!out shelter for citi-
zens of the state.
Tawes said abandoned coal
mines in Western Maryland might
be converted into shelters. along
with tunnels or similar structures
which are no longer in use.
