The National Gallery Of Art
today inaugurates a new ex-

American collections of art
owned by private collectors.
The first of the series, the

opens at 2 pm. The 81 paint

offer a brilliant view Of French

1861 Version
Of the Story
Of'3 Bears
BY JERRY OLEARY, yr.
star staff Writer


Once upon o time there were
three little bears.
They were born here at the
Washington Zoo, and one oi
them Is already on his way tc
the big time.
II Albert's nose had beer
shorter or his nuzzle wider, the
little male bear would probablS
still be scrambling for peanuts
at the Zoo.
As it Is. Albert Is now q mem
ber Of the menagerie of the
Ringing Brothers, Barnum and
Bailey Circus, and he is going
to be q star.
The other two bears, Elsie
and Theresa, have shown nc
signs Of concern about theil
brothers success. They are
staying very close to theil
mother, Anna, and acting a;
all normal little bears should
The story of Albert's success
started January IS. when he
was born. one Of triplets, in a
den at the Washington Zoo.
His father was Teddy, the re-
tired mascot Of the American
troops In Berlin. Mama was
Anna, q European brown bear
Of Syrian ancestry.
Teddy, who is not a partic-
ularly good father was sent
back to his own cage by Keeper
Burt Barker. He doesn't seem
to miss the kids a bit.
Anna, however, has turned
out to be q wonderful mother.
She coddled Elsie, Theresa ard
Albert and dragged them to
safety by the scruff Of the neck
every time an unwanted in
truder came near.
But one day, DR.. Theodore
Reed, zoo director, received q
call from Walter Klauser oi
the circus. He needed a bear
cub, it seemed, and it had to
be q bright one.
Mr.. KlauSer came out and
looked the triplets over. What
he needed was a bear smart
enough to ride bicycles, motor
cycles, dance, roll over on COM
mand and, In general, act like
a performing bear.
The circus man informed the
Zoo people that he needed q
bear with refined features and
o sharp nose. Albert seemed to
fit the bill.
And thus 1t was that Albert
at the age Of three months, was
sent off to make his way In
the world and his two sisters
stayed home with Nom.
Does 1t seem cruel to sep
arate a baby bear from his
mother?
Maybe so, but Albert Is re-
ported doing fine and, besides,
the Zoo had Is bears already.

Final word will come from

tor. Mr.. Halaby, who took Of

derstandably declines to be

acquires thorough knowledge Of
It.
Dulles Opening Delayed
One Of the principal reasons
for opening National to Jet
traffic might be the years de-
lay in putting Dulles Interna-
tional airport near Chantilly,
Va, into service.
Dulles originally was sched-
uled to open this July.
Now the date has been set
for mid-1962-and that is an
optimistic target.
The FAA's long-standing pol
Icy has been to keep the tur-
bine-powered, pure Jets away
from National for two basic
reasons-it would increase con-
gestion and bring new noise
problems. In addition, there
was opposition to mingling of
Jets and piston-powered trans
ports.
Then came a slight revision
Of policy. largely at airline in
sistence - wait until Dulles
opens and Wen take another
look"
Among the many things to
be considered are facilities. For
passenger protection from Jet
blast on the ground, covered
walkways are needed.
Covered walkways will be
completed within 80 days.
Fueling poses no problem.
Evening star., 1961-04-16

The pure Jets which would use
National burn the same fuel
as the Electras, viscounts and
F-27s now operating at Ma
tional. Protective blast fences
might not even be necessary,
depending on ramp locations
the Jets would use.
Two Of the most potent NOV
ing forces behind the new stud
les are United Air Lines, which
puts the new Caravelle jet into
service in July, and American
Airlines, which already has the
new and smaller Boeing 720.
When American demonstrat-
ed the first 720 at Friendship
Airport not too long ago. a
spokesman said there is no
legal or practical reason why
this aircraft couldn't use Ma
tional."
Broad Study Needed
For demonstrations, National
has hosted many Jets, including
the big Boeing TOT and the Air
Forces KC-135 Jet tanker. A
British Comet has been in and
out, and Mrs. Mamie EiSen-
hover christened Pan Ameri-
cans first Jet transport there
before it flew to Europe.
But the mere fact that Ma
tional's main runway Of 6,74O
feet can easily accommodate
the medium and small turbine
planes with full gross loads
isn't sufficient to warrant an
immediate green light from
FAA.
The study Of traffic prob
lens and patterns must look not
only at National, but at Dulles
and Friendship as well. Jet
speeds shrivel the distances be-
tween those facilities, although
turbine aircraft get into the
airport areas at q speed COM
parable to the bigger piston
planes and land only slightly
faster.
There is reason to believe
that If the FAA approves, it
will be crafty enough to wait

Congress for
0O1 Top Jobs
D. G. Would Get
Numerous Posts
Paying to SIS, 900
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

The Kennedy Administration
yesterday asked Congress to
approve legislation to create
801 more top jobs in the Gov
ernment service paying $15,255
to $4,000 a year. Most Of
them would be in Washington
and generally would be filled by
promotions from within.
The request for the higher
paying jobs was seen as a move
to strengthen the Governments
operations in its defense and
research programs as well as in
its domestic programs.
AS submitted by the Civil
Service Commission, the pro-
posed legislation would add 578
additional super-grade jobs.
These grades 16 to 18 positions
pay $15,255 to $l8,500 a year.
The proposed bill also would
add 203 scientific, professional
and engineering jobs paying
salaries of up to $4,000 a year
for employees engaged in re-
search and development func-
tions. Authorization for these
types Of research and develop
ment jobs was contained in
Public Law 313 enacted by
Congress several years ago.
20 NSA Jobs Sought
Twenty additional super
grade jobs in grades 16 to 18
were asked for the National
Security Agency.
Also, Congress was asked to
raise the pay Of Government
hearing examiners who now
grades is ($13,730 a
year, to the equivalent of grade
16 ($15,255. and to increase
he salaries Of hearing exami-
ners now in grades 13 ($10.635)
to the equivalent of grade IA
($l2,210 a year,.
The csc asked that hearing
pay be removed
from provisions of the CLASH
ication Act.
Regarding super-grade jobs
n Government, there are now
2,100 of these grades 16 to l8
obs. The new request for 59S
more jobs Concluding 20 for
NSA) would bring the total to
1893.
Requests Trimmed Down
The various departments and
agencies originally had sought
1900 more such jobs, but the
csc trimmed down the request
to 578.
OF the 578 jobs, the propos-
ed bill would give at least so
Of them to the Defense Depart
ment. This would include
Navy and Air Force de-
partments and the office of
Secretary of Defense.
OF the remaining 528 jobs,
President Kennedy would de-
termine which departments and
agencies would get the next 100
Super-grade jobs.

were wounded in Santiago.
The wounded included seven
civilians and Commandante

the attacking bombers were

this.
