NUMISMATIC NOTES
Boone Half Dollar

The Daniel Boone COM
memorative half dollar
marked the 200th anniversary
Of the birth Of one OF our
most famous frontierSmen.
Boone was born in 1874 at
Reading, Pa. He first at
tempted to establish a set
tlement in Kentucky in 1773,
but failed because of attacks
by hostile Indians. In ITS,
with about 80 men, he blazed
the Wilderness Road and
founded Boonesboro.
In l778 Boone was captured
by braves Of the Shawnee
Tribe. Because Of his fame as
a hunter he was not killed
but was adopted by Chief
Black Fish.
This incident is recalled in
the design Of the coin, which
has a portrait Of Boone on
the diverse and the figures
of Boone and Black Fish on
the reverse.

him. Who else could play his
charming pieces so delight
fully? Vanguard has done
well in recording this an
theology.
The Jutish Medley
You will love the familiar
Molly on the Shore, Irish
tune from County Derry
Danny Boy and Country
Gardens, but even more de-
light comes from such as the
Jutish Medley. an ingenious
distillation of five Danish
folk songs. Handel in the
Strand is here, too.
Van Cliburn isn't paying
homage to anyone, unless it
is his fans, in an RCA Victor
record called My Favorite
Chopin. Nor does he let his
fans down as he continues
to demonstrate his develop
ment from an overnight SEN
sation to a solid. permanent
place in the concert field.
Cliburn's favorites, the I'M
dying Polonaise in A-flat,
nocturnes, fantasies, etudes,
ballades, waltzes and scherzos
also are probably your ia
vorites. He plays them with
out striving for extra effect,
plays them as he must have
thought Chopin wrote them,
and they are a tribute to the
young Texans intelligence.
That Velvety Cello
From Russia comes the lat
est in a long succession of
artists who seem to get more
out of four strings than any
one else. You'll have to make
room for this one, for he is
tops. His name: Daniel Shat
ran, and how he can bow q
cello!
Richer, warmer tones have
not been heard, than those
on this RCA Victor record Of
Schubert's Sonata in A Minor
(Arpeggione) and Shostako-
vich'S Sonata, opus 40. With
Lydia Pecherskaya supplying
the piano part. this is a rec
ord to treasure.

Listing, describing and

massive project.
The remarkable thing
about the worldwide cata-

that its editors have not been

to include in its pages the
answer to every question a
collector might ask about his

in an amazing amount Of

also special drawings and

/ live in the country, and
like most suburban jewellers,
see a lot more of wildlife ac-
tivity than most city folk.
Taking snapshots Of the ami
mails and birds that roam
the fields and woods is an
exciting and often suspense
full operation. I enjoy this
phase of photography, along
with many others. and urge
those who haven't tried this
form Of hunting without q
gun to give it a try Just as
soon as the leaves and tall
weeds are cut down by frost.
We are fortunate to have
a number of black walnut
trees Just within good cam
era range Of our home and
the squirrels are already put
ting on a great show for our
cameras - movie and still
as they scamper up and down
the trees. gathering their
winter supply Of food.
Patience Required
Wild animals are quite nat
urally timid and are not east
ly photographed unless you
have patience and time to
give to the project. Aside
from their natural camou-
flage, they tend, as a rule. to
freeze" at the slightest
sound and consequently are
not easy to spot.
The best way to go about
shooting wildlife with a cam
era is to learn something Of
the habits Of those that are
found locally. Some go abroad
by day, while others are noe
turnal by habit. This infor-
nation can be quickly picked
up from a naturalists hand
book to be found at your
public library.
While extreme patience and
very slow movements with
your camera are usually nee
essary to snap pictures Of
wildlife, there will be many
occasions when fast camera
work will determine whether
or not you get the picture.
Delayed TakeOffs
For example, many birds
and beasts of the rural areas
will remain perfectly still un-
til you are within a few feet
of them. Then they will rock
ct off either by wing or by
foot and 1t will take a good
man with the camera to
catch the subject in its flight.
Rabbits are a prime exam
pie Of this type of animal as
is the quail of the wild bird
family. Each will wait until
the very last second before
you get within a foot or So
and then away they go.
Few things will startle the
novice more than the whirr
of a covey of birds as they
take off, virtually from under
your feet.
The best way to be pre-
pared for this is to borrow
someone's bird dog - let him
point - and then when the
birds go up you will be ready
with your camera to record
the action. Lacking a dog you
will simply have to expect ac-

The second phase will ex-

Chairman Mcclellan noted,
there's nothing illegal about
transmitting the information
although it supports "a tre-
mendously profitable interstate

The third phase of the hear

interstate operation is also not

events is illegal in every State

Senator Mcclellan said he
doubted that even the package
of misunderstanding bills sought
by Attorney General Kennedy
and passed by the Senate would
be sufficient to meet the chal-

He added that as the inquiry

whether more Federal laws are

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 10
CAP).-A Federal judge late to-
day continued until Monday a
hearing on whether the Bahia
de Nipe can be returned to Cuba
or will be held for settlement of
debts against the ships owners.
Judge Walter E. Hoffman's
action thus kept up a legal tug
of war almost as complicated as
the actions by which the mas
ter and 10 crewmen overpower-
ed % other crew members of
the sugar-laden vessel and
brought it here Thursday to
seek political asylum.
Specifically, the judge heard
arguments today on a show
cause order in which he called
on the Coast Guard to explain
why it should keep the United
States marshal from Seizing
the ship for settlement of debts
by several claimants.

Judge told United States Attor-
ney Vernon Spratley.
Judge Hoffman's refusal fol-
lowed objections by nine attor-
neys representing six claimants.
The attorneys sought to have
the Bahia de Nipe attached
yesterday by the United States
marshal, but the Coast Guard
prohibited the action.
The judge said the only ques-
ton before him at this time is
whether or not the Coast Guard
has the right to prevent a law
enforcement officer from serv-
ing a proper process. He point
ed out there appeared to be a
conflict between the two
