Soviet Explodes
Huge Atomic Test
BY the Associated Press

The Soviet Union has fired
the second largest nuclear ex-
plosion of its current series of
tests in the Arctic atmosphere,
the United States Atomic
Energy Commission reports.
The blast, triggered yesterday
in the Siberian Novaya zemlya
area, was described by the Acc
as slightly higher in yield
than the multi-megaton test
conducted on September 49,"
In announcing the September
10 test, the Acc described it
only as, "multi-megaton." The
Acc described the Russian shot
on August S as in the 30-mega-
ton class, making it the king
pin of the 16 explosions an
nounced by the United States.
A megaton is equivalent in
force to / million tons of TINT.
Swedish authorities esti-
mated yesterdays explosion at
80 megatons and the September
10 test as a 17-megaton blast.

The Merouders'
Prince Edward Has Double Reason
For Interest In War Book. Movie

Some Of the humor and some
Of the pathoS in the movie YER
sion of The Marauders,'' the
celluloid account Of the Burma
exploits of Brig. General Frank
Merrill's World War II troops,
was generated by the husband of
a former Prince Edward county
woman.
Not that Lewis w. Durham, Of
Baltimore, husband Of the for
mer Martha Scales Allen, is in
the movie. He's not. but he was
the real life mule sergeant, who
with his favorite pack animal,
"Buttercup," is one Of the
movies central characters.
The part is played by a Holly
wood professional and the movie
changes "Buttercup's' name to
Eleanor, but the source of this
portion of the movie was Dur
ham. He was a federaliZed Ma
tional Guardsman training in
Panama when the call went out
for volunteers with experience in
the tropics. It was to be a dan
gerous and hazardous mission
somewhere.
In India, Burma
The somewhere turned out to
be India and Burma and with the
marauders, who also numbered
a Prince Edward county soldier
now making a distinguished ca
reer in the Army, Colonel Sam
uel V. "Sambo" Wilson.
Mr.. and Mrs. Durham and
their two children now live in
Baltimore, where Durham is en-
ployed by Eastern Stainless Steel
Company. Mrs. Durham is the
daughter of John Henry Allen, of
Worsham, and the late Mrs.
Allen.
In Burma and during the haz-
ardous exploits of the .marauders
behind Japanese lines, Durham
was in charge of the pack ami
mails used to, transport supplies,
often over rugged mou tain
peaks. His attachment for Flea

nor, the pre-Hollywood Butter
cup, is the source of many
humorous and tragic scenes in
the movie.
Final Tragic Scene
The final scene of Eleanor is
at the top Of a perilous noun
tain up which her h a ndler
carried the mules pack. Durham
did carry Buttercup's pack to
save her from being left on the
trail and shot after she col
lapsed from the weight and ex-
haustion.
Durham is among the few vet
Grams remaining from the origi-
nal 5000 marauders. They gen.
orally agree that with some ex-
ceptions the movie does a good
job of depicting what they went
through while helping to prevent
a Japanese German link up and
disrupting Japanese communica-
tons. It is said that only about
100 of the original volunteers re-
manned when the final objective

THE LEAVES

The leaves turned somersaults today
AS they tumbled, earthward bound,
Like happy little tots at play
Gambling across the ground.
The breezes made them scatter, skitter,
Dip and glide, twirl and turn
Until each graceful little filter
Reached the place of its sojourn.
How like mankind these travlers are.
We, too, fit along life's way
We pause. and start. and drift afar
Until we reach our final stay.

Dble. All Pass
| Opening lead: Diamond jack.
West led the jack of dia-
monds. holding the trick (my
correspondent relates). He went
into a prolonged huddle and
finally shifted to the six of
spades.
Declarer won in dummy with
the queen Of spades and led
the jack of hearts for a sue
cessful finesse. Another heart
finesse and the ace of trumps
cleared East out of that suit.
Then South cashed the queen
OF clubs and led a spade to
dummy to run the clubs.
isn't a nine high enough
for you?" East grumbled as
South cheerfully recorded the
score. why couldn't you lead
another diamond instead of
switching to spades?"
Big Boy
you're a big boy" West re-
torted. IF you wanted dia-
monds continued you could win
the first trick yourself and lead
another diamond. When you
didn't do this had to assume
that you wanted me to lead a
suit that you couldn't afford to
lead"
West was right. East could
have made sure of defeating
the contract by overtaking with
the queen of diamonds and then
leading the ace Of diamonds.
Dummy would have to ruff,
and East would be sure of a
trump trick.
The strangest part Of the
hand was the bidding. Look at
Vests free spade bid! And look
at East's free raise to two
spades! You'd think passing
had gone out of style.
And how trustful North was
to let his partner play the hand
at hearts! My mother always
told me not to put an eight
card suit down in the dummy.
PLAY those hands yourself, my
son." she told me. Otherwise
people will think you're a sissy"
Six clubs is unbeatable. But
then maybe there'd have been
no story.
Daily Question
AS dealer, you hold:
AAQ 2J9 o. %AK 1098754
What do you say?
Answer: Bid one club. The
hand is not strong enough for
a two-bid, and it is far too
strong for a shutout bid. Be-
gin slowly and show your
strength later.

A NEW TREASURE
PeaIe's JeHersonLates Gift
BY DAISY CLELAND
star staff Writer

Mrs. John F. Kennedy has
just received what will be
one of the great treasures OF
the White House-a portrait
of President Thomas Jeffer-
son painted from life by
Rembrandt Peale.
An announcement from the
White House yesterday stated
that 1t was a gift from Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Mellon Of
Upperville. Va. This inn
portant American painting
was executed in 1900 and
owned until recently by the
Peabody Institute Of . Balti-
more.
Miss Pamela Turnure
stated yesterday that al
though an exact location for
the fabulous gift has not
been selected by the First
Lady, it will be hung in one
of the State Rooms so that
all tourists and visitors to the
White House may see 1t.
There now is a full-length
painting of Thomas Jeffer-
son hanging in the Red
Room, however, this was not
painted from life and there
fore does not have the great
value of the newly acquired
work by Peale.
Project Presidents
One of the projects most
important to Mrs. Kennedy
is the acquisition of por-
traits from life of the six
Presidents who followed
George washington. The full
length Gilbert Stuart por-
trait Of Washington that is
traditionally hung in the
East Room, is a life portrait.
Thomas jefferson sat for
the Peale portrait in Phila-
delphia early in the year OF
1900 and with the possible
exception of the Gilbert
Stuart portrait Of 1905,
Peale's painting became the
most popular image Of JEFF
ferson in the United States
and in Europe.
Throughout the 10th CEN
fury there were many other
engravings, Autographs and
paintings based on the pro-
totype by Rembrandt Peale
The portrait was so admired
by Thomas jefferson that in

w. FoSburg, chairman Of
the Special Painting Com
mittee Of the White House,
said that a significant step
forward had been made in
the realization of the COM
mittee's aim to secure the
finest life portraits known of
the early presidents.
From Photographs
1t is understood that Mrs.
Kennedy had seen photo
graphs Of this work and it
was through her desire that
the gift was made by Mr..
and Mrs. Mellon.
A strange fact about the
portrait of Thomas Jefferson
is that only for a very brief
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-09

1901 he requested that Peale
make him a copy.
In 1914 Rembrandt Peale
opened his celebrated mu-
scum in Baltimore and 1t can
be assumed that the portrait
of jefferson was among the
collection.
Owners Change
In 1922 the museum was
turned over to Rubens Peale
and subsequently changed
ownership several times. In
1856 the surviving paintings
from the Peale collection were
dispersed privately and at
this time the jefferson por-
trait became the property Of
Mr.. Charles j. M. Eaton Of
Baltimore, who later became
a president Of the Peabody
Institute.
After Mr.. Eaton's death
his collection was given to
the Peabody Institute and
for many years the portrait
hung in the institutes Ii
brary. In 1869 the jefferson
portrait was rediscovered as
the Rembrandt Peale life
portrait" of 1900 through
the research of the editors Of
the jefferson papers at
Princeton University.
In announcing this gift to
the White House, Mr.. James

time was it near his home IN
Charlottesville, Va. This was
for a short time when it was
loaned to the University Of
Virginia which he founded.
The remainder of the time
it has been in either Phila-
delphia or Baltimore.
