Five years after "Peyton
Place" Grace Metalious, the
New England author housewife
who says 81 don't think of my
self as a writer but an enter
tainer," has become philosophi-
cal about critics who don't
think she's either.
"Peyton Place" sold 100000
in hard cover and 8.5 million in
paperback, not including the
foreign rights. Return to Pey-
ton Place sold 3.5 million in
paperback. So as far as the
critics, I couldn't care less,"
she says.
Mrs. Metalious, now SO, was
in town to drum the drums for
the movie version of her second
book, which will have its world
premiere in Layonia, N. H, next
week and comes to Washington
May IL.
Laconia, the area which
Snubbed Mrs. Metalious when
''Peyton Place" unlocked small
town Skeleton-filled closets, is
more than resigned to this in
vasion from Hollywood.
The businessmen are singing
and dancing in the Streets"
Mrs. Metalious says.
For one with such candid
views concerning money, Mrs.
Metalious is rather vague about
how much she's made and
where lot of it went.
Melts Away
"All that money in the bank
the only thing I could think
Of to do was spend it. It
seemed to melt away'-just like
the Cancelled checks she used
to throw into the fire.
After all, what good are
Cancelled checks? I admit 1 had
expert help in spending it."
she said, referring to her sec
ond husband, Thomas J.
Martin.
Her life for five years reads
like a character from one of
her novels. She divorced her
Schoolteacher husband, George
Metalious, married Mr.. Martin,
lived on an unsatisfactory
''merry-go-round," then remar-
ried her first husband last
October.
II think in that second mar
riage I was looking for the
glamour I never had. What a
price to pay for something as
fleeting or on the surface" said

Burglars Unlock
Safe, Get $500

Burglars early yesterday
took $500 from the locked safe
of the Alexandria Lumber Co.,
police reported.
Henry F. Pacholec, a sales
man at the lumber firm, 401
South Patrick street, told po-
lice the burglars tried to cut
into the safe, failed and then
found keys hanging nearby and
opened it.
Police said the burglars en-
tered the building through an
unlocked door and broke a
window to enter an office con-
tanning the safe.

ASSAULT ON SPACE
Passive Echo Satellite
Worlds Best Known

Undoubtedly the worlds best
known satellite, from the
standpoint of direct acquaint-
ance, is Echo, the brilliant 100
foot balloon orbited by the
Space Agency in August. 1860.
Hundreds of millions of per-
sons all around the world have
seen it crossing the sky like a
bright, rapidly-moving star.
Echo was the first orbiter
in the civilian communications

program. 1t was what is called
a passive communications
satellite"-paSsive because it
merely acts as a reflector for
signals; it neither stores nor
rebroadcasts information. The
satellites name explains its
job.
Next To Be Bigger, Higher
The next step in a civilian
communications system will be
called Rebound-alSo passive
satellite. These (there probably
will be three) will be bigger
than Echo OBS feet VS.. 100
feet diameter made of heavier
material than Echo's .0005-
inch aluminized mylar. and
orbiting at a higher altitude
y Il, 500 miles VS.. 1000 miles.
Where a Thor-Delta sufficed
to orbit Echo, it will take a
big Atlas ICBM with a reStart-
able Agena-B upper stage to
put up Rebound. Target time
for the first Rebound will be
1868. A first step already has
been taken with the orbiting
of an experimental rigidized
sphere II feet in diameter last
February. This was called Ex-
plorer TX, but actually was
associated with the Rebound
program. A solid-fueled four
stage Scout rocket was used.
Signal Intensity Problem
One disadvantage with pass
i've satellites arises from oper-
alton of the inverse square
law. This says that transmitted
energy Qike a radio signaD
varies inversely as the square
of the distance; in other words
the farther you send a signal

Report From Russio
Mention Of Tails Puts Terror
InFuce Of Man In Synagogue

WHILE TALKING. we noted that
the siddur he had placed carefully
on his seat was yellowed with age,
It's covers hung by a thread to the
tattered pages. His companion in
prayer was reciting from memory,
and neither man wore a tails.
Quietly we asked him if we could
bring tails to the shul.
The old mans face suddenly
went pale. "I don't want to hear
that word. Don't mention a tails
to me-" he cried, shaking wi h
fear.
He turned from us, still CULVER
ing, and resumed praying with fer
vor, ignoring us.
We left the shul, wondering what
had terrified him. While everyone
knows the Russian government is
doing its utmost to discourage re-
ligion, we felt there was something
more. We had to wait few days
to learn the reason behind his
fear.
EVENTUALLY a liaison in a
park was arranged, and we learn
ed the truth.
Our informant, who claimed to
have no interest in the religion of
his birth, gave us the story, as we
moved first from one bench then
to another.
Just a short time before we ar
rived, another group of tourists had
visited the same synagogue and
unobtrusively left talaisim on the
ark. Word of this leaked to the po-
lice, who confiscated the forbidden
shawls. The givers had also stuffed
Zionist material in their folds,
which was discovered by the po-
lice. A number of Kiev Jews were
held responsible for permitting
this to happen, and were in seri-
Gus trouble.
WE LEFT NEV with heavy
hearts. Our ancestors had left it
many years ago because of fear
and oppression. The conclusions we
drew were not happy ones. The
system may have changed, but the
climate of anti-Jewish bias till
remains.

e Heavy trees shelter the ancient
synagogue of Kiev, softening the
harsh reality of peeling paint and
INTENDED lawn. The main entrance
Is not used. Instead, one enters
through a muddy, unkempt court
yard on the side.
AS we struggled with the heavy
wooden door, a pretty, heavy-set
woman entered the court and cali
ed to us in faltering Yiddish, ask
ing us to wait for her. She was
from q nearby small town which
had no synagogue, and had always
wanted to see what one looked
like.
TOGETHER we forced the rusty
hinges to move and groped our way
across the dark foyer into the small
sanctuary. AS soon as we crossed
the threshold, the little Russian
woman, who couldn't be older than
45. froze in awe at the sight OF the
rather plain bimah and ark.
Over and over she repeated: $50
this Is q synagogue. SO this Is q
synagogue" Her eyes filled with
tears as she explained that in her
town the men gathered at each
others homes to pray. Someone
had told her, however, that there
was a synagogue in Nev; and,
when she took her vacation, this is
where she came.
ABRUPTLY she turned on her
heel and, without backward
glance. walked out. AS she left, an
elderly bearded Jew, who had been
praying as we came in, set aside
his siddur and joined us. Quietly
he bid us welcome and inquired
who we were. When he heard we
were Americans he became very
excited and interrupted the prayers
of the only other occupant of the
synagogue, to pass the word along.
Eagerly he questioned us as to
what city we were from, how long
we would be staying in the Soviet
Union, what we had seen. etc. With
difficulty we managed to ask a
few questions ourselves.
We learned that this was the
only synagogue now in Kiev,
though originally there were 1873.
He had no idea how old the build
ing was, but he remembered 1t
from long before the revolution.
On Saturday morning, he proudly
fold us, there were sometimes as
many as eight minyanim, but on
Rosh Hashanah over 1000 came,
spilling over into the courtyard
and the street beyond.

the power of tradition we enact
the chain which binds us to our
forefatherS.
Tradition is the foundation of
Jewish knowledge and the Jewish
heritage. 1t forged the links from
one generation to another. an d
made the growth of our peoples
heritage an endless one, but the
chain was never fixed and never
final. Each generation somehow
adds onto the chain and gives it
a new link a new aspect.
This is the heritage of Torah that
it's link once begun never con-

know cannot reinterpret what he
does not know, nor can he add to
tradition what he has not master

which is offered to all parents OF
young children in our area:

our children. In these unSettling
times, when our beliefs as Amer
leans and Jews are being chaE
lenged in different parts of the
world, 1t is our duty and task to
give eur youngsters a confidence
in America, supported by belief
in their own faith. The very di-
versities within our American
culture, each offering their own
unique contributions, make eur
country strong Our children
need the inspiration and spiritual
warmth that knowledge of their
heritage can bring They need
to know the wonderful pleasures
of shared experiences. They need
to understand what ii means to
be q Jew."
An exciting and vigorous Young
Judea program for young people
of our community between the ages
of 9 to IA has been organized to
offer these children a sense of Sc
curity, Identification and an under
standing of the continuity of Jew

the heirs of the future; let us give
them the tools to build rich and
