THE UGF AT WORK
Heart Operation Starts
New Life for Boy, 10

Every birthday is special to
a growing boy. but Richard
Martin may remember his 10th
as the most important Of his
life. %T@
October 10 was a milestone
anniversary.
For it marked the start of
the first year of Richards
young life when he could count
on a future.
Richard is free at last from
the dangers of a faulty heart.
He was a victim Of congeni-
tai aortic StenosiS. A faulty
heart valve would have proven
fatal within a few years.
Now Richard can look for
ward to a normal life span and
the chance to play as much as
he likes.
The red-haired, brown-eyed
boy underwent open heart sur
gerry, August 8. at Georgetown
University Hospital, when the
condition was corrected.
Some 20 pints of whole, fresh
blood were vital to the opera
TONS success, in order to keep
the life-giving heart-lung ma
chine going while the operation
was being performed.
The Red Cross asked the
Metropolitan Police Department
to help recruit donors.
Richards father, Pvt. John
]. Martin, is on the force, as
signed to the ninth precinct.
Twenty-six policemen gave
blood the day before the opera
ton at the Washington Region
al Blood Center at 1920 E
street NV.
I'VE first learned Ricky had
a pad heart When ne was 4,
and had watched him carefully
since" Mrs. Martin said. HE
got worse last year. He couldn't
keep up with other boys. He
couldn't run as fast as they
could. He couldn't ride his bike
as much as he wanted to. Ricky
always yearned to play on a
football team, but he could
only play a little with his
BROTHER
Now that has changed. Rich
ard can play as hard as his
five brothers and sisters at
their home at 8517 Potomac
avenue, College Park, Md.

How many times have you
taken a taxi ride from inside
the District to a particular
spot in the suburbs and each
time paid a different fare?
The head of the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission got an idea of the
varying fees District cabbies
charge for interstate trip S
when he took a series of test
rides last week.
The rides were to Bethesda,
Hyattsville and Arlington Tow
ers.
Delmer Ison, executive di-
rector Of the transit commits
sion, which will begin regulat-
ing interstate cab rates next
month, decided to get a first
hand look at present fare prac-
tees.
Mr.. ISon rode on taxi and
a Star reporter took a separate
cab. Both started from the same
downtown location and rode to
the same suburban destina-
tons.
On each trip, the two paid
different fares. In one case
the trip to Hyattsville - the
ride cost Mr.. Ison 50 more than
it cost the reporter.
The experiment indicated
that more taxi mileage meters
may be inaccurate tn a n
the commission has expected
Speedometers are to be relied
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-22

upon for determining the new
interstate fares when they go
into effect November /.
Mr.. Ison said he also ex-
poets some disagreements to
arise over what are the most
direct routes. Should a cab
driver, for instance, use a route
that would take less time dur
ing rush hour but which would
mean more mileage and higher
fare?
Each of. the test runs started
from Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue NV. The
first, to East-West highway
and Wisconsin avenue in Be-
thesda, cost Mr.. Ison $2.75 and
the reporter $3.50.
The second, to the $500 block
of Baltimore avenue IN Hyatts-
vile, cost Mr.. Ison $3.75 and
the reporter SITS.

BIGGEST AND WETTEST
Scouts Pick Bad Day for Comporee

A thousand Prince Georges
County Boy Scouts held the
first day of their biggest Camp
oree-and their wetteSt in six
years-at Fort George G.
Meade yesterday. The two-day
affair was to end today.
But some 600 pulled out dur
ing the day yesterday because
Of the heavy rain-and lack of
experience to cope with it. &C
eording to District Scout Com
missioner Mike Harring.
Mr.. Harring said many Of the
youngsters and their unit lead
ers made lone basic mistake"
They didn't loosen their tent
lines 10 keep them from get
ting taut and pulling down the
tents" he said.
The younger boys, mostly
Tenderfeet, were sent home, he
said; but they didn't want to
go. We had to almost pull
them in the cars"
The SO troops. all set up by
about 1915 am. yesterday.
were camped in woods on the
sprawling Army reservation.
No hamburgers. hot dogs.
canned foods, candy or soft
drinks we're allowed. Mr.. Har-
ring said the boys had to do
their own cooking-things like
potatoes, carrots and spaghetti.
Both Mr.. Harring and Paul
ManSur, district executive, said
the boys spirits were high.
Many got wet during the early
morning rain, but the wood
fires helped dry them out.

Class Patrol Leader Robert
Pease, IA. of 1916 Furness ave-
nue., OXon Hill, both of Troop
705, said water seeped through
the side of their pup tent into
their sleeping bags. They
agreed, however. 1t wass all just
a part of camping.
One 11-year-old youngster.
who was told he had to go
home said as he trudged
through the mud and rain to-
ward a waiting car:
Isn't it a wonderful day?

Transit Official Finds Price Gap
During Test Rides in Area Toxis

The third trip, to Arlington
Towers, cost Mr.. Ison $1.25 and
the reporter $3.50.
In each case, the mileage
registered by the taxis differed.
Part of this may be accounted
for by slight changes in route
that each cab took.
For instance, one cab used
Memorial Bridge to get to Ar
lington Towers and the other
used Key Bridge. But the
Hyattsville trip was primarily
straight out Rhode Island ave-
nue. and the difference in
mileage could net account for
the 50 difference in fare.
Basing the trip costs on the
new interstate fare for District
cabbies $50 cents for the first
mile and 20 cents for each ad-
ditional half mile or fraction
the test runs would have re-
suited in the following charges:
Cab A-$3.7O for 8.8 miles to
Bethesda. Cab B-$4.30 for 10.1
miles. (The return trip by a
suburban cab, which will con-
tinue at the same rates under
the interstate rate order, was
$3.50 for the two passengers.
The meter registered 80 miles,
Cab Assoc for 7.6 miles
to Hyattsville. Cab B-$3.30 for
8 miles. CThe return trip was
SO and the meter registered IL
miles,
Cab Also for 3.4 miles to
Arlington Towers. Cab B-$1.30
for 30 miles.

activities of Mr.. Hooker or Mr..
Case" Mr.. Mahoney said.
Mr.. Tawes, in his ill-con-
Sidered attack upon the re-
quests of the Maryland teach
ers for more adequate salaries,
is not attacking the teachers
lobby, he is attacking the
principle of a better educa-
tional program for our chill
dren," Mr.. Mahoney said.
At the convention yesterday,
the teachers association went
on record again in favor of a
$4,000 to $4,000 minimum State
teacher salary scale. Leaders
of the association claim Mr..
Tawes reneged on a 1858 cam
paign promise to give them
this scale. The present State
minimum is $500 to $500,
The association also asks
that more funds be appropri-
ated for new construction at
the five State teachers COL
leges and for raising the fac
ulty pay scale at the colleges
to the level Of the University
Of Maryland.
Counter Charges
Mr.. Mahoney's statement in
dorsed all of these requests.
The teachers also adopted a
report of the associations leg
islative com mittee which
praised Blair Lee, III, for his
courageous leadership" in
seeking more pay for teachers
at the 1861 session of the Gen.
eral Assembly.
Gov. Tawes' executive as
sistant, Edmund c. Mester &C
cused leaders of the association
yesterday Of lining up with the
Mahoney ticket which includes
Mr.. Lee as a candidate for
United States Senator.
Mr.. Mester said Mr.. Lee, a
State delegate from Montgom-
cry, was responsible in large
part for killing a teacher pay
bill in 1859. Mr.. Lee replied
that it was the sudden adjourn
ment of the House of Dele
gates. engineered by Mr.
Hooker with approval of Gov.
Tawes" that killed teacher pay
legislation that year. He said
Mr.. Hooker got the House ad-
journed with the strings
pulled" by the Governor in or
der to prevent passage of a beer
tax bill.
Nilsson c. Raver, executive
secretary of the teachers asso-
citation. told the convention
yesterday that 1T is quite ap-
parent that our schools have
suffered because the chief ex-
ecutive has failed to keep his

tactics was touched off by Gov.
Tawes Thursday when, in a
speech before the MSTA con-
vention, he labeled them a
thigh pressure" group which
looks out only for its own in
terests.
Branded Insult
1T is a matter Of extreme
regret to me that Gov
Tawes should have gratuitously
and without cause chosen to
insult the teachers Of our
State" said Mr.. Hume.
Gov. Tawes has repeatedly
promised to bring teacher sal
as in Maryland up to levels
that will protect our public
school system. He has repeat
edly failed to keep that prom
Use and when face to face with
his failure, has insolently and
arrogantly sought to picture
our State teachers as money
grubbers and mercenaries," Mr.
Hume added.
Mr.. Mahoney had this to say:
Mr.. Tawes loudly proclaimed
that he will never bow to the
pressure Of lobbyists or special
interests. Yet he retains as his
intimate personal adviser and
counselor Mr.. George Hooker
who is chief lobbyist for the
brewing industry in Maryland
and whose influence during all
the years of Mr.. Tawes' tenure
in the controllers office and
the governors mansion has
been and still Is such that
Maryland brewery interests are
the best protected in the ma
ton" -.r.
He also said that legel work
on issuance Of highway bonds
has gone to only one firm since
Gov. Tawes took office while
the previous practice was to
spread the work around. A
member Of the firm is Richard
w. Case whom Mr.. Mahoney
called another close adviser"
to Mr.. TaweS.
Mr.. Mahoney said Mr.. Cases
firm has earned more than $780,
900 in fees during the past two
years for handling the road
bonds. Apparently Mr.. Tawes'
dislike for lobbyists and special
interests does not apply to the

l. was a wonderful inven-
ton.
When you go to almost
any kind of a meeting, these
days, somebody at the door
is apt to pin one on your left
lapel.
Convention goerS would
be lost without this little
gadget that comes complete
with a safety pin. Its use has
even spread to cocktail par
ties-where an aide-memoire
of this kind is sometimes
especially helpful.
Thus tagged, at a recent
meeting on a serious subject,
we sat down next to a pleas
ant chap whose little card
was inscribed, "A. Edwin
Kendrew, Williamsburg, Va"
To anyone familiar with
the restoration of Williams
burg, this name is impress
Sive.
In our mind, it lighted up
quite a few recollectionS, in
GLIDING one of a trip we had
made to Williamsburg, and
another that Mr.. Kendrew
had written us a letter a
short time later concerning
an article we had written
after taking that trip.
SITTING NEXT to him,
we asked Mr.. Kendrew about
this correspondence. Alas, he
had forgotten about it. Per-
haps it was someone else
down at Williamsburg who
had written us-we began to
think-and not Mr.. Kendrew
at all.
On getting back to our
office, we looked in our Will
liamsburg file. 1t was Mr..
Kendrew, all right. He had
written a two-page letter.
The date was July 8, 1857,
and he was gently reproach-
full.
The article he read had
dealt with a new multi
million dollar information
center, motor house and
cafeteria built by Colonial
Williamsburg. The entire
project-well screened from
the old part of the town
was designed in contempo-
rary style.
Use of the modern style in
a citadel of 18th-century de-
sign was quite a significant
step - we thought at the
time-and wetried OF call at
tention to it.
After over 80 years of res
toration, we said, the spon-
sors of Williamsburg "haTe
now tacitly conceded that
this charming old style is
not fully adaptable to today's
architectural problems. They
Soft-pedaled the style, but
they haven't sidestepped the
issue"
Then we quoted a state
ment of the management
which said:
THE size and relationship
of these spaces (for the new
tourist CENTER demanded a
free, contemporary archi-
tectural style rather than
traditional design"
THE LAST THING we
wanted, however, was any
misunderstanding with Mr.. !
Kendrew. So we wrote in re-
ply asking him to re-read
the article and expressing
the hope he would find it
accurate and not misleading,
as you may have thought at
first"
Then we added we believed
the restored area must
stand as a monumental SYM
boil of the good taste of our
forefathers, the ingenuity
and painstaking effort of
their descendants, and of
the breadth of view and pub
lie SpiritedneSs of the Rookie
teller family in making it all
possible"

which deserves reprinting:
THE authenticity and ar

meticulous hand of Mr.. A.
Edwin Kendrew, who has
been resident architect of
Colonial Williamsburg for
more than a quarter of a
century"
We probably would never
have learned to know Mr..
Kendrew, except for one
thing. SO we must repeat
that an identity card for the
left lapel is, indeed, a won
derful invention.
