Armed Display
100, 900 Throne
Andrews Base

A spectacular weekend dis
play opened at Andrews Air
Force Base yesterday with a
colorful show of power.
An 11th-hour decision by
high-ranking officials who had
anxiously watched heavy clouds
all morning, Cancelled all Jet
passes over the field, includ-
ing the Air Force Thunderbird
precision teams performance
and the Army and Navy free
fall" parachute drops. But
there was still plenty left for
the Armed Forces Day crowd,
and better weather was ex-
pected for today.
It was no grim parade of
terrifying weapons or march of
soldiers with fixed bayonets,
but a happy gathering of
friendly tanks and trucks, clean
white missiles, mobile guns and
fighting planes.
Pastel pink and green dump
trucks. dressed for the occasion,
circled round and round with
laughing youngsters packed
where 20 tons of fill dirt usually
goes.
Small boys jumped into the
front seats Of huge cargo trucks,
set their jaws grimly and
yanked the big steering wheels
left and right.
Boys and girls clambered in
and ont of planes and dripped
ice cream over the turrcts of
brown tanks.
About 100000 persons flocked
to the base, despite heavy gray
clouds and a,light spray of rain.
The most popular display was
the Bird Infantry's parachute
jump. Husky soldiers strapped
boys and girls into harnesses
and the kids climbed to the top
of a 20-foot platform. One or
two baked at the jumping
point, but most stepped off
eagerly and rode a wire some
so yards into the waiting arms
of a three-soldier catching
team.
The military show, with more
than 1000 Army, Navy, Air
Force, Marine and Coast Guard
displays, will be open again to-
day, starting at noon. Officials
are hoping the weather will al
low the Navy's Blue Angels
aerobatic team and the free

place.

soning for this, said Mr.. Gold
stein. is that the barbecued
chicken can be eaten without
anything being done to it,
while the baked ham is more
of a general grocery store item
and usually requires some ad-
ditional preparation before be-
ing eaten.
Helpful Hints Issued
I'VE realize that some little
difficulty will be at first ex-
perience because of the
changes being made, but with
the cooperation of all we feel
that matters will soon become
adjusted" Mr.. Goldstein said.
His office is sending the packet
of helpful hints to 10000
retailers.
A Scent increase in the State
cigarette tax goes into effect
July l, Mr.. Goldstein pointed
out. This will make the tax
uniform at 6 cents a pack over
the State. whereas it varies
now from 3 cents to 6 cents.
The reason for the variation
is that some counties and Bal
timore City have added a To-
cal tax to the Scent State
levy. The local taxes will be
replaced by the uniform State
tax on July /.
The extra money to be COL
lected from the expansion of
the sales tax and the increase
in the cigarette tax will 20
to the localities.
Figures given out by Mr..
Goldstein yesterday showed
that SLAB million extra is ex-
pected to be collected during
the next fiscal year. Prince

and Mont gomery
$1,544,241.

AEA to Get

IfOusted

RICHMOND, Va, May 13
(SpeciaD. - The Executi We
Committee of Virginia'S Negro
teachers association offered to-
day to accept the white Arling-
ton Education Association as a
member if it gets elected from
the white statewide teachers
group.
The 26 member executive
committee of the Virginia
Teachers Association noted it
had no segregation provisions
in its constitution and invited
the Arlington Education ASso-
citation to join it in the event
it is ousted from the Virginia
Education Association.
There has been talk that the
statewide white teachers
group, the Virginia Education
Association. will try to throw
the Arlington white teachers
association out because it in
tends to accept Negro mem
bers.
If it does. said DR.. ]. Rupert
Picott. VTA's executive secre-
tary. I'VE invite them to join
with us so that they will main
tain representation on a ma

DR.. Picott noted that the
VITA, like the white teachers
organization, is a member of
the National Education Asso-
citation and could provide Ar
lington with representation on
that group.

rector of the Arlington Educa-
ton Association, said last
night: Il assume they did it in

the total selling price of the

tions and schools are exempt,
but all other fraternal, patri-
otic and service organizations

mention of any exemption for
political organizations, so pre-
sumably those $5 to $10O a

Offers Example
Mr.. Goldstein offered this
example of a patron buying a
meal in a restaurant: If he gets
"a 90-cent meal there will be
no tax. If he gets 90-cent
meal and a 25-cent bottle of
beer there will be a 1-cent
tax on the beer. If he gets
a 81 meal and a 25-cent bot
tie of beer there will be a total
tax of 4 CENTS on the meal
and l on the beer.

Mr.. McKeldin warned, how
ever, that the three to one DEM

Democratic votes to put Repub-

Republicans are counting on
the recent stormy session of the
Democratic General Assembly
which they consider rife with
conflict of interest situations
to give them a boost in 1862.
Representative Matthias, only
Republican member of the
House from Maryland, told the
convention that nowhere is
the promise greater for a Re-
publican victory than in Mary
land"
He said the redistricting act
passed by the Legislature and
signed by Gov. Tawes violates
every concept Of fair and rea-
sonable congressional redis-
tricting." He said the ruthless

den roughshod over the princi-

The young Republican Fed
Grafton also passed a resolution
supporting reapportionment of
seats in the Maryland House of
Delegates. Attempts by the
heavily populated counties to
get more representation in An

100000 Savings
DC. Task Force
Urges Cuts in
Trees, Liqhtinu

A task force investigating
ways to hold down District
government spending has rec
commended that about 100000
be saved next year in the pro-
posed Highway Department
program.
The recommendation is prob
ably the largest single saving
that will come out of a series
of task force studies now going
on. A full report to the Dis
trict Commissioners is due this
week.
City officials reported that
the study groups covering some
of the departments have found
that no savings, or only token
amounts, are possible without
impairing vital services.
Thus the net result of the
investigations is that stable
amounts may be saved, but not
nearly enough to solve the
city'S financial ills.
The exact amount of the
recommended savings will not
be known until the full report
gets to the Commissioners, who
will submit the recommenda-
tions to congressional COM
mittees.
Would Bar Step-Ups
The highway report urges
that the District not move
ahead on an accelerated basis
on three programs - replace
ment of trees, improving street
lighting and miscellaneous
other improvements such as
painting of white lines on main
streets.
City officials had decided
earlier this year that tree plant
ing should be stepped up, with
a target of $4,000 new trees in
the next four years. Tree trim
ming also was to be stepped up.
Improvements in the city's
Street-lighting system were in
dorsed by the Commissioners
last year. to get under way this
July. The program called for
a SiX-year plan to be carried
out at a cost of $3.50 900 a year
compared to 100000 for the
earlier program.
TObriner Ordered Studies
District Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner ordered that the
several task force studies be
made shortly after he assumed
office. Spending programs for
each city department have been
under scrutiny for several
weeks.
Each task force consists Of
a prominent civic leader, the
department head and other
District government aides.
H. Holmes Vogel, former vice
president of the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co., is the
civilian member of the task
force studying the highway
program.
Mr.. Vogel said he was re-
luctant to urge the cuts, since
all these programs are certain
ly worthwhile" He noted that
he was member of an ad-
visory group that urged the
accelerated tree-planting pro-
gram in the first place.
He also noted that no road
construction project has been
deleted as part of the recon-
mended 100000 savings.
This is not really a cut"
Mr.. Vogel said, but does
mean a step back to an earlier
schedule"
Commissioner Tobriner ap-
pointed the study groups after
key congressional committee
members had made clear their
dissatisfaction with the city's
steadily rising budget.

Works of Art?

wondering whether such re-
minders of men and events
had any value.
Some of the loftiest COM
mentatorS pretended to scorn
the whole idea.
II would rather have men
ask, after I am dead, why I
have no monument, than
why I have one," said Mar
Gus Cato.
A couple Of hundred years
later, Pliny the Younger
called monuments "Superflu-
ous."
IF our lives deserve it,
our memories will endure"
said he.
Euripedes agreed.
"The monuments of noble
men are their virtues" he
said.
Such views have a plau-
sible ring. But they all come
from writer's who hoped
their works would live, be
read, and serve as memorials,
On paper, to their lives and
thought.
"The most lasting monu-
mentS are the paper monu-
ments," Thomas Fuller said.
Writers, especially, seem to
think this.
ONE WRITER who felt
differently was William
O1ldhCSpCd1C.
1t was his opinion that a
man should think about ar
ranging his own memorial.
Otherwise, he said, "he
shall live no longer than the
bell rings and the widow
weeps."
But the bard was a bit
wrong, surely.
He did not reckon with
mankind'S gratitude. Nor
with civilizations compulsion
to pay its debt.
People do want reminders
of men who have led them
in thought and action. They
do not want to forget.
This Is where art comes in.
1t is part of mankind'S
memory.
Life is short, but art is
long, as the Latin phrase
book says.
Art lasts. Civilized man can
express deep convictions in
this way and be long re-
membered.
Art" said Aristotle, sis a
higher type of knowledge
than experience"
THE ISSUES Mr.. Udal
has raised about art and it's
place in cities are important.
The debate should help
quell some Of the confusion
that has arisen over whether,
in the future, we should con-
fine ourselves only to living
memorials" for use, as
against the art that can be
used for nothing except to
look at, be inspired by, and
to symbolic goals for the
good life.
The Lincoln Memorial is
not a living memorial"
1t is art for arts sake.
1t represents a man. But
1t does more than that. For
within this sculpture are
enshrined some of the most
important ideas by which
Americans organize their
democratic behavior.
Could Washington ever be
the same place without it?

CITIES throughout the
world are filled with monu-
ments, sculpture and paint
ings that help bind one age
to another.
If art is desirable, as men
In all centuries have seemed
to believe it is, perhaps the
problem is not that there is
too much of 1t here but that
what does exist appears to
claim too much space.
One of the most under
standing of all students of
city design had a most per-
ceptive comment on this.
He was Camille Site, a
Viennese who wrote a book
called THE Art OF Building
Cities" 1t was translated
from the German over Is
years ago by Charles T.
Stewart, a WaShingtonian,
and is now, unfortunately,
out of print.
On this point, Mr., Site
wrote:

ence between the procedures
Of former times and those

The day when Negro farmers

ton as their cash crop and grew
a few hogs and cattle mostly for
home use Is rapidly passing.
Of course, cotton Is still their
principal cash crop, just as 1t
is for most farmers Of the

are expanding their livestock
