tibule. down a spacious cor
ridor and into a huge room
looking out through loaded
windows on to the front gar
den.
A pretty girl in a pink
dress is sitting in a deep
chair. which is upholstered
in a heavy material the color
of magnolia leaves that have
seen a hard summer.
Good afternoon" she says,
agreeably. But she does not
introduce herself. The but
Ter disappears through a side
door, his well-polished shoes
sliding noiSelessly over the
wall-to-wall camel-colored
carpeting.

She sounds like one of the
beautiful women out of
ChekhoV.
The room is superb with
old masters adorning the
pine-paneIed walls and COM
Portable furniture abounding.
Reappearing as silently as
he left, the butler sets a ia
BILE for tea.
Then, from the side door,
Mr.. Getty enters.
A BiIliOnaire
At "a, his figure is spare
and straight, his well-tai-
lored suit bdued and
slightly old fashioned.
About his long, thin face
there's a sort of melancholy
resolution. His eyes are blue
green. The nose is long and
broad at the base above thin
but well-Shaped lips.
His voice is soft and mod
ulated-the accent of a man
from the American South
west who's spent g lot of
time in foreign lands.
He sips the tea but he
passes up the sandwiches and
cake while urging them on
you.
After some chit-chat, he
says: Come, let me show
you the house"
The great library, with its
minstrel galley and its price
less furniture, is first.
He gives you plenty of time
to examine every object, but
volunteers no observations.
With every reason in the
world to be houSe-proud, he
isn't.
Leading the way, he shows

I'VE never know what's

Wagers. The list of coming
attractions varying from one
to as many as six features,
awaits them on the table in
their private screening room.
AS soon as the three are
ready for the show, the
lights go down, the giant
projectors grind into action
and another movie makes It's
Virginia premier some three
weeks before it's booked into
a public theater.
That's how long it usually

RICHMOND, Aug. 80 (AP).
Angry voices, then a wom-
ans screams vibrated down
the marble halls.
But typewriters never skip
ped a beat and the secretary
spilled not a drop of the cof-
fee she was carrying back to
her desk on the third floor
of the state office building.
Behind the close door from
whence came the screams
sat the three gentle grand
mothers who witness more
violence than any other
movie-goers in the state.
It's all in a days work for
Mrs. Russell F. Wagers, Mrs.
Margaret K. Gregory and
Mrs. Lollie Whitehead, mem
berS of Virginia'S motion
picture censor board.
Mrs. Wagers, who is from
AppomattoX, took her seat
on the board in 1949, the
same year Mrs. Whitehead of
Amherst, was appointed. Mrs.
Gregory, widow of the late
Supreme Court Justice Her
bert B. Gregory of Roanoke,
rounded out the feminine trio
in 1854.
Together they have IA
grandchildren. They have
spent a total of 80 years of
seeing movie stars-but there's
still just one pair of eyeglass-
eS among them.
Every foot of film destined
to unfold on public movie
screens passes before their
sharp brown eyes-except
newSreels, said Mrs. Wagers,
currently chairman of the
board.
ut took too much time for
us to review, stamp and send
them back" she explained.
by then current events were

own opinions are at stake,
it's not often that they call
for the scissors.
I'VE don't always enjoy
what we pass" declared Mrs.
Wagers, but only 49, cinema
candidates have failed COM
pletely to pass the censor
board since 1856, and COM
paratively few of the millions
of film-feet they see end up
on the cutting room floor.
The chairman (the position

over a button in the review
ing room. If any the trio
verbally raises an eyebrow
over what's seen on the
screen, that button is
pressed, ringing a signal to
the camera man. He makes
a note of the scene and after
the show is over, the part in
question is rerun.
Again and again and
again." said Mrs. Gregory.
Only after thorough discus
sion does the team vote to
veto a scene or sequence.
But we have to keep that
first impression in mind"
Mrs. Wagers cautioned.
That's what the general
public will remembered since
few people see a movie more
than once"
There are times, too, when
the whole seeing-eye board

red chairs to Richmond the

LONDON, Aug. 80. - I'm
derStandably, the entrance
to the home of the richest
man in the world is barred
by a pair of tall steel gates.
Modestly woven into the
gilt and old rose grillwork
atop the portals towering
black bars is the name of
the great estate: Sutton
Place.
1t nestles in the leafy
countryside of the gentle
County of Surrey, 80 miles
southwest o. London.
Two years ago American
Gilman j. Paul Getty bought
Sutton Place from George
Grenville Sutherland Suth-
erland-Leveson-G Cover, fifth
Duke of Sutherland.
The price was about S2.8
million and the staggering
sum included a 5O0-year-old
Tudor mansion, a house in
which kings and queens have
dined and made merry.
Unlike many of Britain's
stately homes, it is not open
to the public. Millionaire
Getty hardly nesds the small
coins charged by some of
Britain'S hard-pressed gen.
try to view their historic
mansions. But he's not above
making his guests drop coins
in a pay telephone for any
calls they make.
Fortune magazine has
called Mr.. Getty the richest
man in the world. OF his
wealth, which he will discuss
only with painful reluctance,
he says; "If I did sell out
today, I'd hope to get several
billion dollars"
Get it? Billions, not Just
measly old millions.
Its bad form to bray
about having money" philos-
ophizeS the Gilman. "One Just

oiled tracks after a go-ahead
from the manor, TIE road to
Getty's Tudor pile is paved
and it's nearly two miles
long. At its end stands Sut-

brick and stone, toned down
by time to a color between
a soft dark red and purple.

Builders Prefer
To Save Trees

Implicit in many peoples
dream homes are a number
of large, friendly shade trees.
The uses Of this are well
known to those who write
real estate advertising. If
there are trees in the yard
of q home the advertisement
almost never fails to men
ton the fact.
Another result of this situ-
alton is that the developer or
home builder whose heartless
bulldozer ruthlessly knocks
down trees is considered a
"desecrater."
'Desecrater" he may be to
the tree lover, but the build
er also is a businessman.
And in today'S competitive
market, it's an unusually
naive one that doesn't realize
saving trees will make his
homes easier to sell.
Then the question arises,
why do many of today's
housing subdivisions look like
they had been plunked down
on arid land and then sodded
and shrubbed.
Evening star., 1961-08-05

Sometimes the answer lies
in their being built on former
pasture land that had no
three of any size worth
saving.
In other cases they are
built in areas that had fine
strong stands Of second
growth timber, and still
hardly q tree remains when
the development is COM
pleted. $"
Grodine Is Problem
In this case, the cause is
usually grading, according to
the builders.
Unless the builder is very
lucky in the original grade
of the raw land, the grading
can be extensive. 1t has to
take into account certain re-
quirementS for the slope Of
sewer lines. The streets in
the subdivision have to meet
minimum grade requirements
Of the jurisdiction in which
the land is located.

over us shall not now attempt our
subjugation by arms"
Even after three years of war,
his detectives were still consis-
tent:
1--WE are not fighting for slav-
cry We are fighting for indepen-
dence :"
Without this independence, none
of the other Southern goals could
be realized The continuance of
slavery was not one of these sec
ondary goals, but the South did
hope to gain freedom to solve this
and other problems in its own
way. The Confederacy also hoped
to establish the governmental
principle on which it was founded
the right of secession and NULL
fication.
The Confederacy's foremost
general, Robert E. Lee, favored
united Union and regarded
slavery as a positive evil. How
ever, he felt that emancipation
could be better accomplished by
peaceful. Christian methods than
through the terrible confusion and
hatred generated by war. Lee s
country was Virginia, and he
could not bring himself to Join the
forces of her enemy. In letter
to his son, he said:
-. can anticipate no great
er calamity for the country than
a dissolution of the Union i.
Still, Union that can only be
maintained by swords and bayo-
nets, and in which strife and
civil war are to take the place
of brotherly love and kindness,
has no charm for me If the
Union is to be dissolved and the
Government disrupted, I shall re
turn to my native state and share
the miseries of my people. and
save in defense will draw my
sword on none"
