IT TOOK TWO WEEKS to
get the two-ton skin out of
the African bush. A truck
load of salt was used as a
preservative.
Smithsonian officials ne
gotiated for the skin with
Mr.. Fenykovi and, even
tually, 1t arrived here in a
big box. Included in the
package were the leg bones
and skull and the two tusks,
each weighing 100 pounds.
It was turned over to VIII
liam L. Brown, the Smith
sonian's taxidermist. About
Is months later, the exhibit
was unveiled-in March Of
1859. Mr.. Brown, who had
been on the job for over so
years, retired q few months
later. Smithsonian officials
cited the taxidermist for

The Rambler dropped in
on Mr.. Brown the other day.
He is now 70 and lives with
his wife in a small row
house at 211S T street Sc.
He offered the visitor an
ash tray which had as a base
a deer's foot. On one wall a
leopard's head watched us.

who was known for his work
on elephants. It's funny, I

boro, Va, Of all places. He
was a Negro. He finally got
the skin so that we could

They built a clay model of
the elephant, using 10000
pounds of clay. They had to
pipe steam into the room to
keep the clay from cracking
and they worked in this
environment for several
months.

The
Rambler
Visits
An Artist
BY JOHN McKELwAY


One of the city's most i'm
pressive sights, to The Ram
bier at least, is that tremen-
dous elephant moving easily
along in the marble rotunda
of the Smithsonian's Mu-
scum of Natural History.
While not in its natural
habitat, the elephant lacks
little outside of life. It al
most has a smell of hay
about it, famed in gusts by
motionless ears.
It is considered something
of a landmark in the art of
taxidermy and, one Supposes,
engineers might have more
than a passing interest in
the structure.
The big boy was brought
down by a big game hunter
by the name of J. j. Feny-
kovi, a Hungarian who be-
came a very rich man after
founding an arc-welding in
dustry. He now lives in Spain.
His firm built the American
Embassy in Madrid.
The elephant is known
only as the "Fenykovi ele-
plant" It is the largest
elephant ever measured, top
ping the last record-holder
by a foot.
Mr.. Fenykovi spotted the
tracks of the beast back in
1854, hunting rhinoceros in
Southwestern Angola, the
Portuguese colony in Africa.
He came back the next
year with an expedition de-
termined to find what he
was looking for. III November
of 1855, in an all-day battle
which ran from 9 am. to 6
pm. and took 10 shots, he
had his prize.
At death, the elephant
probably weighed about IL
tons.

Efforts Have Failed

Isembly have failed, but chances
for passage appear good at the
1868 session. Gov. Tawes has
said he win support an inspec-
ton program and the Demo-
cratic platform on which he ran
also calls for 1T.
The report said that in every
State where compulsory inspec-
ton has been instituted, the
traffic death rate has declined.
The committee recommended
establishment of SO inspection
stations over the State, with at
least one in each county. The
cost of the stations would be
financed by sale of bonds. The
8 inspection fee would pay OPP
irrational costs and retire the
bonds, the committee said.
The committee recommended
that each station be big enough
to accommodate a branch office
of the Department of Motor
Vehicles so services of that
agency, such as the sale Of
license tags, issuance of driving
licenses and holding of driving
clinics, could be brought closer
to residents.
The committe recommended
inspection of each vehicle once
a year at the beginning of the
program and expansion later
to twice a year. Vehicles could
not be operated without an in
spection sticker.

Agrees in Principle

The council said it agreed
in principle but reserved judy
ment on some of the specifics
of the plan.
In its report to the council,
the committee, headed by State
Senator John Thomas Parran,
Democrat of Charles County,
said traffic fatalities in Mary
land have risen sharply this
year and an inspection pro-
gram to find mechanical de-
fects is necessary. So far this
year, 491 have died on Mary
land highways.
The committe recommended
establishment of State-owneo
and operated inspection sta
lions under the Jurisdiction Of
the State Department of Motor
Vehicles. 1t suggested that the
fee for inspection be So.
The plan would be similar
to the system used in the Dis.

BALTIMORE, Nov. IA. "A

spection of motor vehicles in
Maryland will be introduced in
the 1868 session of the General
Assembly by the legislative
council.
The council today Endorsed
in principle a system of State
owned and operated inspection
stations after hearing a report
from a subcommittee which
recommended such a program.
The council ordered that a bill
be drafted for introduction at
the session which begins in
January.
Backing from the legislative
council boosts the chances OF
passage of an auto inspection
plan for Maryland, which has
been called the dumping ground
for automobiles which can't
pass inspection in other States
The subcommittee recon-
mended a So million construc-
ton program and legislation
which would give the State

(AP).-A pickup truck with
two cases Of spare parts and a
complete tool box was formally
handed to Pakistan camel
driver Bashir Ahmad today by

This type Of truck usually
costs about $4,000 in Pakistan.
But the government of PAX

Bashir drove his truck-a gift

he entered his colony people
chanted "Bashir Ahmad linda

friends, zindabad" (meaning

Outside his hut, Bashir lay

ing prayers of thanks to Allah.
When reporters asked his re-

said: Allah be praised for his

Hundreds of villagers flocked
to stare at it as it stood on

Bashir's veiled wife at first
