Military Institutes board of visitors. He was
also the States first chairman of the Public
Works Administration in 1898, and is still a
director of Virginia Electric & Power Co.
AS a young railroader making $40 month
in the Pennsylvania coal country, he never
dreamed he would ever be influential in the
South.
Jay Johns thinks he first became conscious
there was such place as Virginia when his
family used to relate how Grandfather Peter
Adolphus Johns was captured from among the
FederalS fighting old Stonewall at Gaines
Mill in 1852
In his teens-with his eyesight dimming
even as StOnewalpS eyes we're dim-he yearned
to be cadet at VMI, and attended Staunton
Military Academy in the Valley to prep for
that institute. Although, owing to family cir
cumStances he had to quit Staunton after
year, the picture of the Shenandoah Valley
never faded from his mind.
He turned to coal l-jobbing in Pennsylvania,
and with a rag and bone and a hank of
nerve" formed the fuel firm that would some
day enable him to return to Virginia
Mr.. Johns could scarcely see at all when,
in the late 192Os, he and his devoted wife Helen
visited Charlottesville, were captivated by
James MOnroe'S onetime home, Ash Lawn, and
bought it. Soon afterward, at the States re-
quest the couple opened Ash Lawn as public
museum. Then they moved into Charlottes-
vile, leaving Ash Lawn exclusively for public
use.
Mr. Johns blindness has never seemed to
lessen his ability to travel. One never knows
when or where he will pop up around the State.
If friends can't drive him, he takes buses and
taxiS AS he rides he will ask companions to
describe the colors of the landscape or some
familiar spot remembered from years ago.
This may seem pitiful, but feelings of pity
are out. An associate Of his explains, People
can't possibly feel sorry for him, when HE
feels sorry for THEM"
Jay Johns himself rarely acknowledges
handicapS of any kind. He only elaborates on
his mania" for Virginia and how much he
hopes to get done.
MY wife gives me hell at least once week
about why should shorten my life getting
mixed up in all these things" he says. Il only
tell her just can't help it.

exactly what inscription she's going to put on

Mr.. MinoW told the Press

Lists Arguments
He made these arguments In
support of the proposal:
The IL VHF channels are
saturated in most areas. Addi-
tional VHF stations could not
operate in such areas without
disturbing the program signals
of existing stations.
In many cases, an additional
station might be added to such
an area if it were assigned a
UHF channel, enabling it to
avoid interference with the
VHF station signals.
But because most home sets
can receive only VHF. potential
investors in new UHF stations
are reluctant to compete in
these areas.
The most populous areas OF
the country already are satu-
rated with VHF coverage. leav-
ing UHF as the only outlet for

the commission feels should be

-INTERPRETATION.
INTERPRETATIONS
Long Haul Expected
In Beating Wet Cong

Some United States officials
are concerned that the optimis-
tic tone Of published reports
from South Wet Nam, coupled
with hopeful statements by
American leaders, may give the
American public the idea that
the problem is well on its way
to being solved.
Long Haul Seen
These authorities fear the
United States people may be-
come impatient at what
promises to be a long haul
especially if many more Ameri-
can Servicemen are killed while
advising and helping the South
Wet Namese.
Basic to successful guerrilla
warfare is an ability to live off
the land and the people in it.
Guerrillas travel lightly, and
while they have established
some supply bases in South
Wet Nam, they have relied on
what they could extort or gain
through persuasion to keep
them in food and information
about the movements Of pro-
Western government troops.
Military officials believe that
a successful Operation SUM-
rise" would force the Commu-
nists into either Of two courses
to increase their input of
men and supplies across the
Laotian border or to pull back
gradually.
If the Communists step up
their reinforcement of an esti-
mated $4,000 Communist guer-
rillas operating all through
South Wet Nam, United States
authorities believe it will enable
government rangers and other
soldiers to find them and hit
them more easily.
And if the Communists pull
back, officials believe the tide
will turn because experience in
Malaga and the Philippines has
shown that once the initiative
passes from the guerrillas they
can be sent on the run and
eventually stamped out.

Officials said today it may
take a year before they car
begin to tell whether South
Wet Mans Operation Sun
rise" will succeed in denying
Communist guerrillaS vita
food. manpower and intelli-
gence.
Operation Sunrise" appar-
emily has gotten off to a mod
erately good start since it was
unveiled last month.
Patterned after a successful
tactic in Malaya's 11-year wal
to suppress Communist guer-
rillas, it is designed to resettle
Wet Namese peasants into
protected strategic hamletS
where they will not be exposed
to Communist extortion and
terror.
The theory is that establish
ment of enough of these vii
lages-and constant patrolline
of areas between-will "sani-
tie" an overwhelming region
and force the Communist Wet
Cong into retreat. United
States authorities, keeping
close check on the new opera
ton, said they expect the Red
guerrillas to mount a deter
mined drive to break up the
first of the planned number
of specially fortified villages.
Danger Is Noted
They noted the pioneer forti-
fled villages are vulnerable be-
cause they are being established
in an area lying between known
concentrations Of Communists.
This area is about so miles
north of Saigon. o.
However, United States Of
ficials said they are optimistic
that any such Communist bid
will be beaten back.
They are counting on a COM
binatton of better-armed and
better-trained self defense mill
tia and civil guardsmen backed
by regular Wet Namese troops
able to react more swiftly be-
cause Of United States-pro-
vided communications equip
ment and helicopters.
