AS far as Tomoka is con-
cerned, he is not a baby gorilla
at all but a member of the
Bernard Gallagher family of
Forestville, Md.
The 6 = month old gorilla
made this perfectly clear by
his screeching and sulking when
he was placed in a cage at the
Washington Zoo.
Tomoka, you see, knows less
about the Zoo than most any
body who comes to mind. He
was born there last September
9 but instantly was whisked out
to the Gallagher home in
Prince Georges County to guar
antee his survival through the
early months of his life.
Acclimated to Zoo
Mrs. Louise Gallagher, whose
husband is a keeper in charge
of the apes at the Zoo, was
placed in complete charge of
Tomoka's upbringing until it
was ,adjudged safe to install
him in a cage.
Last week, without fanfare,
Zoo Director Theodore Reed de-
cided the time had come for
Tomoka to get an orientation
course.
Thereupon, Mrs. Gallagher
started a regimen last week of
driving out to the Zoo about
noon with Tomoka and placing
him in a cage for a couple of
hours. This doesn't happen
every day but Tomoka has made
several trips in order to get

Country Club, to which he and
another student had been in
vited, because Of a Kenwood
policy barring Negroes.
The luncheon invitation was
a routine one extended to stu
dents each week, but the only

Christian, a sophomore, was
asked to leave by a staff mem

which has an established pol
icy of not admitting Negroes. a
school spokesman said.
Went to Register
Reggie ano hts companion,
Joel Shapiro, a senior, said they
went upstairs in the club
to register for luncheon and
were told by the Kenwood rep
resentative that "it will be i'm
possible for you to stay"
w. E. Hayes, Bethesda BUSH
nessman who is a member Of
Rotary and served as advisor
to the Walter johnson group,
said today that he would like
to emphasize that the incident
was in no way a snub by the
Rotary Club"
1.-THE club was at Kenwood by
invitation of the management,
and most of us were unaware of
the house ruleS-including the
ban on admission of Negroes to
the building, and also a regu-
lation that coats must be worn
in the dining room" He called
the incident unfortunate" but
said Il was not even aware Of
it until after the luncheon"
Aware Of Member
Mr.. Hayes said that he was
aware that there was a Negro
member of the Wheel Club, and
knew him to be a good student
with qualities of leadership and
citizenship that are required
for membership in the organi-
cation.
r. Floyd Jennings, ST., presi-
dent of the Bethesda-Chevy
Chase Rotary, said that he in
tended to call a special board
meeting after the clubs regular
meeting at Kenwood today, and
would draft a statement at
that time.
Henry c. Gregory, principal
of Walter Johnson, said that
the Wheel Club has been under
joint sponsorship of the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase and Hal
pine Rotary of Rockville for
about four years. He said he
understood that the Bethesda
chapter was scheduled to drop
its sponsorship at the end of
this school year and leave the
project entirely to the Rock
vile group.

WHO WOULD THINK of
having a book printed in
Cooperstown today?
This is rambling indeed. I
started to tell you about the
Bible I purchased. The type
was large. It was easy to
read favorite passages. Want
to read one of the greatest
examples of English prose?
It is I Kings XIX, II to IL,
in the story of Elisha. Here
it is:
"And he said, Go forth,
and stand upon the mount
before the Lord. And behold,
the Lord passed by, and a
great and strong wind rent
the mountains, and brake to
pieces the rocks before the
Lord; but the Lord was not
in the wind; and after the
wind an earthquake; but the
Lord was not in the earth
quake.
"And after the earthquake
a fire; but the Lord was not
in the fire; and after the
fire a still small voice"
In paging through his pur-
chase the Rambler came
upon blank pages headed
Family Record" It started
with Jabez Stubs, born in
Bucksport, State of Maine,
October 6, 1909, and Susan M.
Stubs, born in Bath, State
of Maine, July 9, 1872.
The last entry was Susan
M. Stubs, passed to the
higher life, March 8, 1908, at
her home in Brockport, Me-,
aged 80 years and 8 months,
gone to join her husband
and dear daughter"
What am I doing with this
treasure of the Stubs fam
lily of the State of Maine?
There are many births re-
corded early in the last CEN
fury. Surely there must be
some Stubs descendants. !
would rather they had the
family Bible than I.

The little town of Washing
ton Grove, Md, which lives
virtually without any CONNER
cial intrusion and likes it, de-
cided by one vote last night
to keep things that way a little
longer.
The issue before the Mont
gomery County residents, who
govern themselves in the style
of the old New England town
meetings, was whether to per-
NIT a company of actors to use
their 60-year-old auditorium.
BY a vote of 81 to 81, the
idea was rejected.
Town Bell Sounded
The changing Of the town
bell drew an overflow crowd
to the meeting hall for the vote.
Before the town council was
a petition to block the plan to
bring in the theater group. Will
liam o. Brining, producer Of
the Mountain Theater in Brad
dock Heights, Md, sought to
transfer his players to the quiet
town of $50 residents.
The real issue at stake was
whether Washington Grove
would drop its protective shell,
which includes an ordinance re-
quiring all buildings to be one
family dwellings except public
structures.
Council Member Switches
One opponent of the theater
group proposal was Maxwell
Winter, a retired utilities exec
utive, who had no quarrel with
the cultural aspects of the
theater idea. However, he said
he felt the theater might bring
some hot-rodders and worse
who will hold a late late show
lof their own"

The
Rambler
-. Buys
A Bible
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The other day on the spur
of the moment, the Rambler
decided to buy a Bible.
There is a shelf in his
library cluttered with Bibles.
King James, Douay-Rheims,
"The Bible Designed to Be
Read as Living Literature"
arranged by Ernest Suther-
land Bates; the Bible trans
lated by Msgr. Ronald Knox,
the New Revised Standard
Edition (Yale Divinity
SCHOOL, and the New Eng
liSh Bible New Testament).
But what he wanted was
an old fashioned family BIZ
BILE printed from type large
enough to read by candle
light.
He refuses to wear glasses.
He would forget them, leave
them on the office desk, on
the restaurant table or else
where.
So, after shutdown he needs
large type.
At Lowdermilk's he found
just what he wanted, a Holy
Bible" almost four inches
thick, bound in hand-tooled
leather.
It was printed in 1888 in
CooperStown, N. Y.
It was a labor of love. He
has not read through it, but
he has dipped into it again
and again and he has never
found a typo, one of those
little printers errors.

FROM CRADLE TO CAGE
Boby(ed) Gorilla Objects to Zoo Life

in the small mammal house with
him, Tomoka howls and hollers
and expresses vast displeasure
in general every time it hap
pens. Mr.. Gallagher said To-
moka then rolls up in his
favorite blue blanket when
he finds it does no good to
protest.
Mr.. Gallagher said it is nat
ural for Tomoka not to like
life in a cage after living like
a member Of a human family
for so long. At home, he has
his toys, his incubator, the
friendly Gallaghers and their
daughter Sherry and all the
familiar things Of life. He also
has Lulu.
Ignored by Parents
At the Zoo, Tomoka knows
only his keeper. His parents,
Moka and Nikumba, are behind
bars at the far end of the
building and displayed interest
in their offspring neither at
his birth nor now.
AS soon as Tomoka gets a
little more used to Zoo sur
roundings, Mr.. Gallagher said,
the periods he stays there will
be heightened.
But his schedule is so uncer-
tain at that stage that Zoo
visitors will just have to be
lucky if they want to see the
baby gorilla.
He was only the fourth gorilla
to survive birth in captivity
and is considered one of the
most valuable animals the Zoo
has.

THE TITLE PAGE reads
H. and E. Phinney's Stereo-
type Edition {. sold by them
at their bookstore and by
booksellers generally in the
United States"
He fell to wondering about
how wonderful this country
was when the Phinneys of
Cooperstown printed this
Bible.
Cooperstown is occasional
ly in the press of late. 1t is
the home of Baseball's Hall
of Fame because Abner Dou-
bleday, who later became a
general officer in the Civil
War, is supposed to have in
augurated our national game
there.
But Cooperstown is much
more than that. It is on a
beautiful lake in a bucolic
countryside.
And it is still more than
that. 1t was named after the
Coopers, a landed family like
the Livingstons and the Van
Rensselaers and the Wads-
worths, all with land grants
from the House of Hanover.
Why do the FFV, the Ran
dolphs, the Pendletons and
the Byrds, get all the pub
licity?
In the early 10th Century
a young man Of this family
distinguished himself, James
Fenimore Cooper. Among
other things he wrote 1.-THE
Last of the Mohicans," and
the series known as 1.-THE
Misunderstanding Tales"
The Rambler hasn't time
even for such elementary re-
search, but he wonders if H.
and E. Phinney did not also
print some of the Leather
stocking tales.

A SEDENTARY JOB
Whoosh! There Goes Stir|inq Moss!
BY MYRA MACPHERSON
Star Staff Writer

This apparent mailman was
heading straight for a fence, a
matter of some concern to this
writer, who happened to be
sharing the ride.
"You see we're going for the
fence. Now I'll do this, you
see," said British Racing Driver
Stirling Moss, but the explana-
ton was lost as his passenger
concentrated on the fence
which was now behind us and
still upright.
Mr.. Moss staccato of tech
nical explanations did nothing
to alter the fact the speed
ometer was juggling around 10
and there was another curve
looming.
Then he started doing things
that would funk him out of
driver training school - like
twisting the car in a complete
180- degree turn. And then
driving the car sideways. A
Christie" he called it, but it
seemed like one long sideways
skid-and we'll, that kept up for
about 10 feet or so.
After these few laps at the
Marlboro track yesterday with
Mr.. Moss at the wheel of an
Austin Cooper it is easy to see
why the word "exhilarating" is
the one he uses most often to
describe racing. He also calls
it a "sedentary" business.
We'll, I say, you are sitting
all the time"
Speed at the Core
On or off the track the semi
bald, 32-year-old racer, con-
sidered by fans and other driv-
ers as the best and fastest
today, thinks of life as one
big Grand Prix. But always at
the center are racing-"a pas
sionate way Of life"-and cars
II love to feel a racing car
around me, to feel the way it
holds me an animate OBJ
ject, not an inanimate one. 1t
has character"
Racing kept him out of Lon
don, a city he loves, for all
but IL weeks last year and in
part contributed to a falter-
ing marriage.
On the surface he is self
contained, but underneath
there is a souped-up restless
ness and he will say things
such as there is "too much
damn monotone" in the world
and "life's too short to see it
all tick by"
This seldom happens around
Mr.. Moss. Life ticks by for only
six sleeping hours a night. Last
year he raced in 48 races
around the world which took up
some 148 days. He has a fear
of loneliness and therefore is
seldom by himself to read many

sentative Multer, Democrat OF
New York, is author of the bill
and chairman of the commit
tee.
Mr.. Arnold, representing 10
retail liquor dealers. attacked
provisions of the bill which he
said apparently favor liquor
wholesalers and monopolistic
practices.
One section of the bill would
prevent solicitors from repre-
senting retailers who now can
order various brands direct
from the manufacturer instead
of the wholesaler.
Warns Of Effect
Mr.. Arnold called this an at
tempt to throttle the competi-
ton of smaller distillers or sup
pliers Of private brands" And
he added that if the bill were
passed there would come a time
when local wholesalers would
control all the merchandise in
the city.
1T is quite possible" he said,
that wholesalers would refuse
to bring in private label brands
requested by the retailer. And
since there would be no way to
force them to do so, the retail
ers and the consumers would
be completely at the mercy Of
the monopoly wholesalers"
He said the idea Of prohibit.
ing statesmen of food from pro-
noting their products unless
they represented some loca
wholesaler would be regarded
as an economic absurdity."
What possible justification,
Mr.. Arnold asked, lis there fol
a different principle in the case
of liquor? 1t cannot be that Il
has any basis in protecting thu
public against liquor Of poor
quality.
Hits "SnOb Appeal"
There Is no doubt whatever
that liquor sold under private
brands is just as good as ad-
vertiSed brands"
Mr.. Arnold charged that ad-
vertised brands are bought al
higher prices purely because Of
their "snob appeal" There are
some consumers who have the
common sense to realize this,
he said.
He then denounced another
section of the bill which would
prohibit the printing of a price
in any liquor advertisement.
Mr.. Arnold said If there was
a bill pending before the sub

District Fights
To Save Site
For Parkway
Mansfield. UdoII
Are Opposed on
GIover-ArchboId

District Commissioners are
making what may be their last
gasp attempt to reserve Glover
Archbold parkland for a free
way.
In a letter to the Senate Dis
trict Committee, city officials
opposed a bill certain to block
the road. But they are up
against Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield, sponsor of the bill,
and Interior Secretary Udall,
whose own letter urging passage
of the Mansfield measure is
getting prompt attention.
District Committee hearings
are in prospect. Senate passage
would seem assured If only to
avoid reputation Of the idea
of the Majority Leader, who
lives on the rim of the park at
$500 Dexter street NV. Com
missioners have been fighting
against a growing number of
park lovers since 1913.
Through different admins
trationS, Commissioners, at in
tervals, have assured residents
they were not planning to
build the parkway. But the
road always has been a future
possibility.
Agreements Cited
Walter N. Tobriner, president
of the Board of Commissioners,
said in the latest letter that
the city and the National Capt.
tai Park Service had agreed in
l948 to develop a parkway
Also, the congressionally Or
dered transportation study for
the area recommended the
four-lane road through the
park in 1859.
Needs for the traffic lane
promise to be more acute ir
the future, the Commissioner
said. They opposed the Mans.
field bill because it's passage
may preclude" future con.
struction.
The bill would transfer te
the United States a narrow
District-oWned strip on the
floor of the park between Cana
road and Upton street NV
This is the sole parkland MOI
already controlled by the park
service.
Secretary Udall wrote the
committee that the proposed
four-lane expressway would cal
up so per cent of the park
and exceed the land area owned
by the District.
Retained for People
Also, construction of the
road would violate the statu-
tory duty of the park service
to conserve scenic beauty, he
said, and contradict the terms
by which the land was donated
by the Glover and Archbold
families. The family asked
that the park be preserved.
The Mansfield bill would
permit the area to be retained
for the enjoyment of the peo-
ple," Secretary Udall main
tanned.
Congress put a freeze on the
construction of any major free
way in Northwest Washington
until 1865 in the law creating
the National Capital TranSpor-
tation Agency. Some members
of Congress, however, particu-
larly from the Washington sub
urban area, have insisted that
the freeway is essential to link
Virginia and Maryland inter-
state routes.
