Committee on Internal Revenue

Mr.. Caplin, in an interview

to grant the tax exemption.
Action Seen This Week

Laid to Kennedy
By GoIdwuter

TUCSON, Ariz., May 81 (AP)
Senator Goldwater, Republi--
can of Arizona, says it was not
Fidel Castro but President Ken
nedy who clustered his way
into a major blunder" in the
tractor-prisoner trade deal.
Senator Goldwater, a leader
Of the conservative wing of the
Republican Party, spoke to sew
eral hundred Republican Party
fund contributors yesterday.
Senator Goldwater referred
to a statement by Edward R.
Murrow, United States Infor-'
nation Agency director, that,
Mr.. CaStros offer to swap
about 1900 rebel prisoners for.
500 tractors has generated "a
ground swell of disgust"
throughout Latin America.
1T is clear that Castro has
clustered his way into a major
blunder." Mr.. Murrow said.
Senator GoldWater. in his re-
ply. said, "Murrow has got his
leaders mixed. 1t was Kennedy
who did the clustering and the
laundering"
The President, Senator Gold
water said, violated the Second
Article of the Constitution by
permitting the tractor fund
committee to enter into nego-
tiations with foreign power.
THE only solution Kennedy
has for the serious problems
facing this country is to put
a man on the moon within the
next 10 years." Senator Gold
water said.

Senator Byrd, Democrat of
Virginia, vice chairman Of the
Senate-House committee, last
week questioned the legality of
granting the fund-raising or
ganization a tax exemption.
Senator Byrd is also chairman
of the Finance Committee.
"A ruling Of this kind would
be a distortion of existing reg
ulations," Senator Byrd said.
This is not charity, it is

he will go through with it."
He repated President Ken
nedy's statement that the Gov
ernment has nothing to do
with raising the tractor fund
and will have no connection
with it except possibly to issue
an export license and to grant
tax exemption to donors.
He said Mr.. Kennedy asked
several prominent citizens to
take the lead in co-ordinating
what individual Americans
were trying to do to raise the
tractor fund.

As Well As Timely
By Leslie Check, j.
Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

Ever since man invented any
sort of device for telling time,
he has also lavished both care
and the best materials on those
devices. The Egyptians. who
probably used their obeHsks as
time telling markers, cut them
from the best granite and in
scribed them with carefully de-
signed hieroglyphics.
And to this day, for example,
large crowds assemble each
noon in many of the European
cities before the great clocks
with animated figures. waiting
to see them go through their
mechanical performances work
ed out for the pleasure of spec
tators so many centuries ago by
the clock makers.
During the 18th Century the
househald clock became an i'm
posing piece of furniture as well
as a time piece. The Virginia
Museum of Fine Arts has in its
collection a fine old clock, housed
in a splendid long-case.
1t was made by Christian For
rer, a Swiss, who, with his
brother, came to Lampeter in
Lancaster, Co., Pa, in 1854.
They set about making clocks at
once in their new location. Chris
tan Forrer moved in l774 to
York Co., Pa. where he still
made clocks although he also be-
came an active farmer and ran
a ferry on the Susquehanna Riv-
er. In 1777 he inherited a large
sum from his family in SWitzer-
land, and from that time until
his death in 1888 he devoted him
self to managing his fortune
rather than the making of clocks.
The face of the museums
o'clock is of brass, iron and pew
ter and is signed in the center of
the plate Christian Forrer.
Lampeter.' 1t is beautifully en-
graved with Roman numerals
for the hours and Abrabic nu
merals for the minutes and has
cast rocco ornaments filling
the spaces between the circle of
the clock face proper and the
corners of the square opening.
The hands. pierced at one end
in a scroll design, reminiscent
of some of the handles of con-
temporary sugar tOngs, taper
delicately at the opposite end to
point out the hours and minutes.
The carved mahogany long
case was made by Jacob Bach
man. also Swiss. who had set
tied in Lancaster Co. In spite Of
his Swiss origin he was obvious
ly influenced by. contemporary
English and American furniture
design, especially that Of Thorn
as Chippendale. This may be
seen in the bold projections of
the clock S case, in the mascu
line $ ength Of the broken
swans neck pedlment which
Surmounts the case, and in the
urnS with their carved flames
at either corner and III the cen
ter of the pediment.
Three Of Christian Forrer'S
sons moved to Virginia in 1896,
settling near Luray. One of his
descendants, Dr.. Samuel H. For
rer of Strasburg, gave this mag
nificent example of his ances-
tors work to the Museum in
