AUTOGRAPHS
American Presidents

An increasingly popular col
lection speciality has lately
been autographs Of American
Presidents. By comparison to
certain other SetS-Such as
signerS of the Declaration of
Independence-the Presidents
are not prohibitively expen-
Sive. Moreover, a complete
set Of Presidents provides an
unusual panorama Of Ameri-
can history.
Fortunately for collectors,
none Of the Presidents is inor-
dinately rare. Those who in
sist on handwritten Oh o o.
graph examples, however,
and those who insist that their
autographs be signed by Pres
idents in office, have their
work cut out for them.
Herbert Hoover is one of
the most common of Presi-
dents in the form of typewrit-
ten letters. But his Telegraph
letters are extremely rare.
Although Hoover is perhaps
the ScarceSt President in holo-
graph letters, the typewriter
has diminished the handwrit-
ten output Of every President
since Mckinley.
Two Presidents are extreme

Theodore Roosevelt put the

almost everything he wrote,
even the most routine of
communications. Andrew
jackson left no doubt about
where he stood when he
dipped pen into inkwell. Lin

the most attractive Of presi-
dental handwritingS are
those Of Washington, John

United States Navy Yeoman
Nelson C, Drummond will be
retired June 8 on charges OF
stealing secret documents from
his post at the Newport, r. l.,

to Soviet agents.
The 34-year-old Baltimore

The only Negro on the jury
Edward L. Watkins, 35, said he
was the lone holdout, with the

viction. He said race had noth-

would have voted guilty on the
conspiracy count in the indict-

penalty of life Imprisonment, II
the others had voted acquittal

Federal Judge Edward Wein-
field was obviously disappointed
at the jury's failure to reach a
verdict after 26 hours. He de-
clined to thank the jury on dis
missing it, as some judges do,
but said that was because of
his personal policy against such
an expression.
Judge Weinfeld kept the jury
deliberations going even after
deadlock had become apparent,
saying the case sis important
to the Government, and is
equally important to the de-
fendant."
But eventually he conceded
there was mo purpose to be
served by continuing delibera-
tions."

act of passing documents to two

FEC Lawyer Sues
For Snogged Pants

He sued under the Federal Tort
Claims Act.
This act, Assistant United
States Attorney Judah Best
said, allows damage suits
against the Government for
acts caused by the negligent
or wrongful acts or omissions
Of its employees.
Mr.. Ohlbaum said he filed a
claim for the $18 repair bill
with the General Services Ad-
ministration, but the claim was
turned down.
Since filing his suit, Mr.. Ohl-
baum said, he and the Govern
ment have dickered some over
possible settlement of the case
out of court, but they have not
yet been able to get together.
Asked about the reaction of
his FEC bosses to his suit, Mr..
Ohlbaum said, "They couldn't

Bill to End Silver Pinch
Set for Kennedy Action

Treasury has bought 3 billion
ounces of silver to help support
the Nations producers of the
metal.
The Senate passed the bill
68-10 late yesterday. The House
cleared it in April.
The legislation also permits
the Secretary of the Treasury
to sell silver in the market II
its price rises above its none
tary value, $l.29 an ounce. The
market price is now slightly
under this figure.
Silver certificate h FOLDERS
would retain the privilege to
exchange them for silver on
demand. 1t would be profitable
to do this If the price of the
metal rose above $1.29.
Sponsors of the measure said
that it would take the Govern
ment out of the silver market
for the first time in 80 years
and permit free market.

The 1.3 billion ounces of sill

Star Staff Writer

The Associate General
Counsel of the Federal Com
munications Commission has
made a Federal case out of a
torn pair of trousers.
Daniel r. Ohlbaum Of 2801
Quebec street NV, has sued
the United States Government
for $18, the amount he said it
cost to repair his torn trousers.
Papers filed at United States
District Court told the follow
ing story:
Mr.. Ohlbaum, 40, a govern
ment servant for IA years, went
to the new Post office Building
one day last January. While
passing through a doorway, he
got snagged.
"a protruding plate at one
side of the doorway, which re-
ceives the lock on the door,
caught and tore plaintiffs
trousers" was the way the
legal papers described it.
The FEC official, somewhat
reluctant to discuss his $18
suit-the court suit, that is
yesterday, said in the court
papers that the latch appar-
emily had been negligently
fitted.
He said a standard-width
plate had been used on a tenn
porary door Of less than stand
ard width. The protrusion, he
said, caused the difficulty in
volying the pants.
! Mr.. OhlbauIn's suit said he
had been on official duty and
the building was owned and
maintained by the Government

When this hand was played at
a weekly tournament, declarer felt
with the Club Ace out Of the way,
the contract was a lay down.
He could draw trump, when he
got in and at worst, he could make
four spade, and If the spade queen
was right he could make five. I
went down two. lost a club, q
diamond, a club ruff, a heart and
another club ruff. I attributed this
defeat to bad distribution and luck.
But by chance I had the oppor-
tunity Of seeing the hand played
by a good friend Of mine while at
bye table. He brought the hand
In without any trouble. So I corn
cred him after the match and
asked him how he was able to
locate the king Of hearts singleton.
WELL" says he, "as you know
I played this hand against two
pretty girls and they had me book
ed before I got in My first prob
lem was the king of hearts. So I
led the heart queen. When West
failed to cover, I looked over at
East, but she was calm as could
be. But as I watched her she
turned her head, and in doing 30
she revealed an unsightly birth
mark behind her ear.
Now would such a nice looking
doll do something like that II she
didn't have something on her
mind? So I put up the ace and
dropped her singleton king Of

Now and then, along comes a
movie which serves notice that
here after all is a goth century art
form and at the same time a COM
munications medium for the trans
mission Of deep social messages.
Such a movie is TO Kill a Mock
ingbird.'
When movie producers know
they have a story that needs no
establishment with wide screen
color, they stick with black and
white. The message Of 'Mocling-
bird is black and white. And the
story Of small-town childhood pro-
vides its own color.
The movie reminds one that In
the South in the 1905 a Negro
defendant facing a white accuser
didn't stand a chance. Does he
even today? In this case, the Ne
gro's attorney Gregory Peck)
proved him innocent in court, but
the jury convicted him anyway.
One wonders while watching the
movie how deeply the audience Is
moved by the portrayal Of racial
injustice. And what role do movies,
novels and television plays with
such morals play in educating the
public to racial tolerance?
