| Mr.. Adenauer said the United

NATO supreme commander,
submitted a plan in Septem-

"As far as I know that plan

Gen. Norstad proposed to

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.-The
Norwegian Embassy in Wash
ington and officials of this city
share a common interest in a
past tourist attraction.
Only old-timers among visi-
tors to this resort city will re-
call the attraction, a six-foot
buxom lady named Miss
Dictator"
The gallant lady, who came
from across the sea and has
lately been the object of a SEN
timental search, is a famous
figurehead. She was torn from
the prov of a Norwegian bark,
the Dictator, which went down
in a storm off Virginia Beach
on March 81, 1891.
The ship, bound from Pensa-
cola, Fla, for West Hartlepool,
England, was preparing to dock
at Hampton Roads for supplies
when she was caught in heavy
winds. Eight lives were lost as
she sank within sight of beach
witnesses.
The figurehead was washed
ashore and discovered in the
surf by a young tourist, Miss
Emily Gregory of CooperStown,
N. Y, who was a guest in the
old Princess Anne Hotel. At
Miss Gregory's urging, several
Coast Guardsmen set the fig
urehead upon the shore.

Virginia Beech Looks
For Lost Fiqureheod

Dictator on a concrete base on
the new boardwalk. On her
stately site. Miss Dictator-a
dignified lady with an elab-
crate crown upon her head
became a familiar landmark.
In time, however, her dignity
suffered against the elements.
Her legs crumbled and her
shoulders bore salty scars.
The final attack came on
August IA, 1858. when Hurri-
cane Barbara ruthlessly splin-
tered her body. There was i'm
mediate talk in Washington of
steps to restore her.
Walton G. Holland, then and
now the Virginia Beach Build
ing Inspector, had Miss Dicta-
tor examined by an expert from
the Mariners Museum in New
port News. Mr.. Holland had a
special interest in the figure
head.
His mother was Mrs. Ben
jamin Peabody Holland, nee
Emily Gregory of Cooperstown,
the woman who had discovered
the figurehead on the beach.
The splintered Miss Dictator
pronounced incurable by the
museum expert, was apparently
buried, but no one seems to
recall where or by whom. A
search began last May when

Drawing Gard
Is Float Firm
BY HELEN M. WALKER
Contributing Writer

SOMERS POINT, N. J.-For
those who like a parade, who
gather at the beat of the
drum" there is an interesting
place to visit here. AS Route
9 runs through this town it
goes past a large metal build
ing. People pass without a
thought of what is going on
inside.
Actually this is a place to
stop. Inside the building, which
covers an area of about two
city blocks. floats for area
parades and pageants are TAX
ing shape through the three
summer months.
Only a small sign near the
door tells the passersby this is
"Hargrove Displays, Inc, Of
ficial Float Makers for the
Miss America Pageant, Wash
ington, D. c." For the past
five summers Earl C. Hargrove
and his son, Earl c., jr., have
been here making and design
ing some IS to so floats for the
Miss America Pageant held in
Atlantic City each year during
Labor Day week.
The firm makes floats for
the Washington Cherry Bios
som Festival, decorations for
the inaugural, and other events
held in the East.
The floats are made on a
10-foot Ford farm wagon and
can be extended as much as
40 to As feet by use of steel
beams. The Atlantic City Pag-
cant is held at night so each
float must carry its own power
house" or generator to supply
lighting on the floats. Colors
for this purpose must be more
intense than that for daylight
paradeS.
Mr.. Hargrove, sr., finds that
after 28 years of building floats
the business continues to get
more interesting. He likes visi-
tors to come to the workshop
which is open from $3.50 am
until $50 pm. on weekdays.
Here it is possible to see how
a float is started, how it begins
to take shape around the board
foundation, how the trimmings
figures and props are placed
and finally how the color is
added by use of silks, foil and
paper. Each part of the work
/ is done by a specialist.
! Although the firm works
from ideas into sketches and
from sketches into the real
thing, Mr.. Hargrove said ideas
grow as the men work along
and all are free to offer Sug-
gestionS and they usually ad-
just accordingly. Sometimes a
float is completed only to be
torn down because the finished
product does not carry out the
intended idea. Prices for floats
range from $1,000 to $4,000.
A preview of the floats shows
a variety of subjects and ideas
from King Neptune and Moby
Dick to carriages, music, foun-
tains and other themes.
A parade is interesting ano
entertaining to many, but just
as interesting is a visit to q
place to see the parade in the
making.

Federal Funds and State Schools

Federal Government-telling
a State how to run its edu-
cational system.
The Federal Government
is demanding not only that a
State reopen public schools
in a particular county but
that it shall stop State and
county tuition grants for the
use Of parents who send their
children to private schools
and cease to pay from State
funds for the maintenance
and operation of public
schools anywhere in Virginia"
as long as the public schools
in one county are closed.
This can only mean that
the Federal Government now
feels it can interfere in any
tuition grants, fellowships,
scholarships or other forms
of aid If it doesn't like the
way the States operate such
educational programs. 1t is
certainly something novel for
the Federal Government to
tell State legislatures how to
spend their money.
1t will be contended that
the Supreme Court has not
as yet ruled on the new de-
mand Of the Department of
Justice for dictatorial powers
over education in the States.
But it may be taken for
granted that the lawyers at
the department have blazed
a new trail and probably have
found new devices satisfac-
tory to them whereby the
end will justify the means.
If the Federal Government
can tell the State Of Virginia
that it cannot provide funds
for its public schools unless
it makes every county and
city conform to a pattern ap-
proved by the Federal Gov
. ernment, then constitutional
government, as 1t has been
known since the founding of
the Republic. will indeed have
vanished. Government by
executive order or court
decree will have Supplanted
acts of Congress and the laws
of so State legislatures.

and its political structure will
defeat him.
What apparently happened
Is that Mr.. Kennedy, for all
his brave morning after
words about 'the margin is
narrow but the responsibility
is clear" was intimidated by
the close popular vote.
He had recognized that for
many reasons his personality
would assume unusual i'm
portance. The contrast be-
tween President Eisenhower's
maturity and the Kennedy
youth was striking. His posi-
ton as the first Roman
Catholic President presented
unusual hazards, viewed polit-
ically. He knew many Demo-
Gratis had resolved all doubts
in his favor in the election
booth but had a show-me
attitude still.
1t was deliberately decided
to continue the personal ex-
ploitation of John F. Kennedy
himself which had worked so
well in the campaign. His
immediate family was in
cluded to a degree he had
steadfastly resisted hereto
fore.
The invocation of national
unity took many forms, be-
ginning with the personal call
on Vice President Nixon, the
special attentions paid to the
incoming Southern Vice Pres
ident, the inclusion of Repub-
licans in the Cabinet and the
lavish use of Adlai Stevenson
associates as well as of
Stevenson.
The doctors who suggested
that American politics re-
manned a rough, tough busi-
ness got short Shrift in the
euphoric mood induced by the
early success Of such tactics.

Too Few Buffers Found Separating
Kennedy From Political Enemies
DORIS FLEESON

Even before Cuba, some Of
the harder heads in the Ken
nedy encourage sensed that
while the President was a
great personal success, much
remained to be done by way
Of building up the support
ing political troops.
So far the effort has made
little headway. There are
few buffer states or statesmen
or even good hatchet men
between the President and
his enemies in the moment of
his first great defeat.
The first impression also is
that he Is turning inward for
protection. Brother Robert is
to advise Gen. Maxwell Taylor
on the conduct of the investi-
cation of the Cuban fiasco.
Special Counsel Theodore C..
SorenSon who mapped the
campaign strategy is being
described as having additional
duties directed toward pro-
tecting the presidential pres
tige.
This seems to many willy
politicians the counsel Of ad-

argue that the President can
not afford to have it appear
that he is so pressed for
talent whose brains and 10y
atty can be trusted. The
presidency in this argument
is not a family-run corpora
ton as the K nm dy cam
paign so often seemed to be.

he can run it so tightly from
