BY JOHN SHERWOOD
Star Staff Writer

A huge maStiff that answered
to the name of Cleo could be
held responsible for much of
the success of a Washington
firm claiming to, be Americas
Oldest fireplace fixture dealer.
Incorporated four decades
ago as the D. L. Cromwell Co.,
the business house actually has
been in the same family since
1873 when James Cromwell
moved to Washington from st.
Louis because his wife was
lonesome for her family.
Mr.. Bromwell opened with a
silver and nickel-plating plant.
1t was a colorful and unusual
place. plagued by inventors and
people who wanted all sorts of
things repaired. The main at
traction was not the electro
plating process, but a curious
source of power turning the
buffing wheels that polished the
silver.
Cleo was the motive power,
and he trotted inside a large
treadmill attached to a genera
tor that moved the buffers. The
dog so enjoyed the work that
it was difficult to get him out
of the wheel. A gas engine soon
put Cleo out of work, but the
dog went for his stroll again
whenever the machine broke
down.

Making Bikes Shine

James Bromwell's son Dwight
grew up around the plant and
entered the business at the
turn of the century when
nickel-plated bicycles and
horseless carriages were fash
ionable. BY 1907 the metalwork
firm was headed by Dwight,
who had added fireplace fur
nishings to his line of products.
Today at "a, Dwight still is
active in the business located
at ITO Twelfth street NV. His
son Berton Is president and
secretary. Berton's sons
Dwight II, %, and Berton, jr.,
25-already are active in the
family business.
1t would be quite easy to
spend $4,000 at Bromwell's to
equip a large fireplace. al

Korea Veterans
Urged To Check
Training Status

Many of the 100000 Korean
veterans. in night school or
aart-tilne training under the Ko-
rean CT Bill. should accelerate
their training if they wish to
complete all their courses be-
fore their CT benefits terminate.

the Roanoke Veterans Admins

Jay.
Under the law. a Korea vet

charge or release from active
duty. In no event may he take
CT training beyond January 81.
1865.
Veterans may not be paid CT
educational allowances after
their termination dates have
passed, Powers explained.
AS an example the VA cited
the fact that a veteran dis
charged in 1855 faces a termi-
nation date next year. in 1868.
A veteran discharged in 1856
has termination date in 1864.
The VA suggests that all vet
Grams taking Korean CT Bill
training check their own indi-
vidual termination dates. If the
termination is in 1868 or 1864
they may consider accelerating
their porgram by taking ad-
ditional courses or by attending
summer school.
Veterans who attend school at
night after working at their
regular employment during the
day. should give this problem
careful consideration. the VA
advised. because their training
of necessity is slower and ex-
tends over a longer period of
time. They should make every
effort to complete their most es-
sential courses before their
deadline.

Neglect OF Income
QUESTIONABLE Hats
Veterans Pensions

About $50 Virginia veterans
and widows of veterans have
had their pensions suspended be-
cause they failed to return their.
annual income Questionnaires.
The checks of more than 1000
other veterans and widown have
also been stopped because the
income cards they sent in were
incomplete or incorrect.
The $50 persons of the first
group face not only the loss of
their monthly pensions but. for
many of them. the repayment of
all pension money received dur
ing 1851. A new regulation this
year provides that when a ques-
tionnaire is not returned the VA
will declare an overpayment for
the preceding year and will in
stitute action to recover that en-
tire years pension.
Prompt action by those who
have not returned their ques-
tionnaire cards is very import
ant if the pensioner expects to
avoid paying back all Of last
wears pension. and get back on
the VA pension list if still eligi-
Bile.
Although the deadline was jan
uary 81. 1862. the VA will still
accept late missionaries and

essary. Actually the VA is CIV

The senior Alabama Senator

by the Founding Fathers that
the Federal Government should
white away the rights of the
people and of the States, either
by legislative fiat or by consti-

provisions of the Constitution

his contention that "the States
alone have the power to deter

voters. This is a right of the
States that ought to be preserv-

Hartlye noted, it does so openly;
"high school and college stu

"Land of Promise" was origi-
nally produced for Labor Day
showing on television. It was
seen on the ABC network in
1860 and an updated version
was aired by many Independent
stations a year later. The 30

his dialogue"
SAG made it clear that only
a few actors had been guilty OF
such conduct and said it was re-
luctant to publicize the situation
in an editorial which also said:
"But complaints regarding
this problem have increased to
the point where something must
be done. Interestingly, it is not
only producers who are COM
planning. A Actors themselves
have expressed to the Guild
their concern about this matter,
for the actions of the minority
reflect on tn overwhelming
majority who do credit to the
profession"
The union said some produc-
ers had advised the Guild they
would henceforth file charges
with SAG against performers
guilty of covert, deliberate mis-
behavior on the SETS" If that
occurs, the editorial warned,
such actors would be brought
to trial before a board of SAG
members.
