Byington, a native Of Michigan
and night law student at
Georgetown, whose role in Dis
trict Young Republican affairs
previously has been quite
limited.
An outspoken conservative
himself, Mr.. Byington worked
with the Youth for Goldwater
group at the 1860 Republican
convention in Chicago. But he
has promised that If elected he
will see that the Young Repub-
lican organization will mot be
used to promote one faction in
an intra-party contest"
His other main pledge is 'fair
play and free speech" at club
meetings. mo longer should
our meetings be Just a vehicle
for indorsing the clique In
power and its activities" he
says.
Unchallenged by his oppo-
nent is Mr.. Lukens' claim that
the local Young Republicans
have reached new highs in
membership and activity in the
year since he became president.
Lukens Spurs Activities
Mr.. Lukens, q veteran Of
seven years In Air Force intel
ligence work, came to WASH

to take the job his home
district Congressman. Repre-
sentative Brown. offered as top

powerful Rules Committee.
Under his leadership, the club
has sponsored q wide variety Of
activities, ranging from ath-
letic teams to professionally
taught courses in political SCI
ence, economies, Communist
theory and public speaking.
Most important, it has become
the first-and only-Republi-
can group to conduct a syste-
matte precinct by precinct
canvass Of District voters.
1t is the very success Of the
local Young Republicans that
makes some members Of the
senior party organizations here
a bit concerned.
@. o. p. Chairman Shipley''
declared goal is to lead an un-
committed slate of organization
delegates to the next nationa'
convention. in hopes the Dis
trict can help nominate some
"urban-minded" candidate such
as Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller

His personal accounting of
his 35 days in Europe gave
more detail than did the re-
ports Of expenditures by the
two staff employees who accom-
panied him. He stated that he
used $1,544 in counterpart

that the purpose Of that trip
was to study possible effects
Of the European Common Mar

United States. The lump sums
he reported covered trans
portation as well as meals and
lodging and miscellaneous
items.
The New York Democrat
however. added several foot
notes to account for some ex-
penditures. such as tips and
taxi fares.

summer cost $4.97l in counter
part funds. Chairman Powell Of
the House Education and Labor
Committee surprised congress
sional colleagues today by CIV
ing an itemized account Of tips
and taxi fares.
His report appeared in the
Congressional Record along
with those of other House COM
mittee chairmen who listed ex-
penditures for foreign trips
this year by committee mem
bers or staff employees.
Mr.. Powell's accounting. al
though not disclosing details
Of some miscellaneous" spend
ing, was somewhat more COM
plete than those Of most other
chairmen.
The overall compilation
showed that members and staff
employees Of most House COM

during 1862 in counterpart
funds. which are foreign cur
rencies owned abroad by the

A SAVAGE BUSINESS
Arlington Boy ellis
OF First Movie Role

Robert. one of the first of the
boys to turn savage.
He said one of the most i'm
portant things he learned was
the hard work that goes into
being an actor. At first he
thought it would be lots of
fun and very exciting" but the
l2-hour working day and such
hazards of the profession as
waiting around for the light to
change for filming changed his
mind.
Nicky received no salary for
the film, but explained that the
boys would divide 10 per cent
of the films profits among
them. He said James Aubrey,
who had the leading role, was
tne only member of the cast
with previous experience.
The story tells of a group of
schoolboyS trapped on an island
IN the middle of a nuclear
war. Nlcky's favorite of all the
scenes Is one in which a roast
ed pig plays a leading part.
In the scene, the boys have
Just killed their first fresh
meat in months. The makers of
the film had a precooked pip
ready for the scene. They told
the boys to dig in, and jumped
back out of the way.
They didn't really tell us
when they were filming" Nickv
said. Il think everybody went a
little crazy. The director yelled,
Cut but no one would stop
eating"
Nicky stated that none of
the boys suffered for their
weeks of living like savages. In
fact, those who suffered the
worst were the counSelors, who
Nicky said changed four or five
times during the filming. The
head counselor quit to 90 to
work in the quieter, less nerve
wracking environment of a
dynamite factory, Nicky added.

BY JAMES LEE

Nicky Hammond. ID, sat in
the comfortable living room of
his Arlington home yesterday
and reminisced about his life
as a savage.
Nicky was one Of 80 British
and American boys in the cast
of the motion picture Lord of
the Flies" produced by Wash
ington broker Dana Hodgdon.
1T was like a summer camp
with no counselors." Nicky
said. I'VE all became pretty
much wild. They just let us dc
whatever we wanted. We were
the people we played in the
film. We even called each other
by the names we had in the
movie"
Nicky was IL when the movie
was filmed in the summer of
1861 on a small island off the
coast of Puerto Rico. He later
played Michael Redgrave'S son
in the Broadway production of
The Complaisant Lover" and
performed the same role with
Walter Pidgeon in summer
stock. He also has done a part
in The Defender" television
show.
Nicky, student at Will
liamsburg Junior High School,
had done no acting before
reading a story in The Star
which announced additions for
the filming of the book by Will
liam Golding, British author.
Nicky had read Lord of the
Flies" when he was 10. and
found it "a shocking, exciting
book"
Hes trying to say a civiliza-
ton, no matter how old and
how well established, can al
ways fall down and be COM
pletely diminished" Nicky said
Nicky needed no special
training before doing the film,
except to improve his British
accent. He plays the part of

hearing about the dangers of
smoking too much and eat
ing high cholesterol-typ
foods like eggs and milk, I
think you will be interested
in this quotation from Ian
cet," a well-known British
Medical Association publica-
ton. / will not attempt to
editorialize or draw any con-
clusions. I'll leave that up to
you.
"Once upon a time there
was a very poor country
where nobody had enough to
eat. and the average expec-
tation Of life was "a years.
There was also a very rich
country where everybody had
plenty to eat, and the av-
erage expectation of life was
81 years.
I'm the very rich country,
people used to save up milk
and butter and cream and
eggs and send them to the
very poor country where they
were distributed, especially
to the children who would
otherwise have had none.
I'm this way the expecta-
ton Of life in the very poor
country was raised from "a
to q years. Meanwhile the
expectation Of life in the
very rich country was rising
too and went up from 64 TO
81 years, and everyone who
did not die Of cancer OF the
lung from smoking too many
cigarettes. died of coronary
thrombosis.
Then someone discovered
that coronary thrombosis
was due 10 eating and drink
ing too much milk and but
ter and cream and eggs in
the very rich country. SO
they sent all these materials
TO the very poor country, so
that the expectation OF life
In the very poor country
might be raised enough for
them 10 start dying OF coro-
nary thrombosis so that
they, too. could stop eating
and drinking milk and but
ter and cream and eggs"
So the moral Is - well,
what is II?

JIM BISHOP
The Lonely Trip
Had q Meaning

Visits to a cemetery are
not for me. Nor would I want
to be visited If I were a ten
ant. The tilted headstones,
the NANCY grass, the events
beyond recapture are good
for those who feel peniten-
tial, or guilty, or morbidly
triumphant at still being
alive. For me, prayer is ev-
erything. The walk in the
cemetery is a pointless sac
rifice.
My mother and my first
wife, Elinor Dunning Bishop,
are a row apart in the gran
ite platoon.
is A PRAYER said there
of more value than one said
in a church? Or at home?
. The setting of a wreath -
does 1t please the clay be-
meath? A bouquet of roses
who sees them? Who smells
the fragrant goodnessP The
giver?
Still, I must admit that I
was touched recently by such
a visit. To tell it properly, I
must explain that when Eli
nor died, our daughter Gayle
was sick in bed. She was l3,
an age of delicate emotional
balance in young ladies. She
was verging on pneumonia. l
was on a ship. Virginia Lee,
our older daughter was at the
hospital with her mother.
Gayle was too young, too
sick to be told that her
mother was not doing well.
Ginny walked into the bed
room one day, tears stand
ing on her lids, and said:
"Mommy died this morning"
AS simple as that. Gayle
pulled the bedclothes up un-
der her chin, stared at the
ceiling, and wept.
After the funeral, the
children and I tried to recall
happy things about mother.
But always, Gayle set her lips
grimly and left the room.
Ginny and I felt that she
was callous.
The opposite was true.
Gayle was the one hardest
hit. We did not know it. We
forgot that, in the final two
years of life, Elinor had been
taken care of exclusively by
Gayle.
All of which led to a ner-
vous breakdown. 1t required
two years of grief to crush
Gayle.
Evening star., 1963-01-07

The breakdown led to o
sudden elopement. The mar
riage broke when a young
energetic husband could not
understand his wife's depres-
sion. Gayle came home. 1t
wasn't easy because now her
father had a new wife, and
two new little girls we're In
the house.
But Gayle was determined
to bury all the sorrows. 1t
required a lot Of work and a
monumental will to succeed.
Day by day. she won a little
ground. She decided to study
to become a practical nurse.
She immersed herself In
nursing books and took Jobs
in nursing homes.
Last summer, Kelly and !
watched the laughter come
back into Gayleis heart. She
became the breezy, witty
tomboy she had once been.
Life became fun again. She
reached the ripe old age OF
10, a dark woman with mis-
chief in her eyes. Her ca
reer became increasingly i'm
portant.
LITTLE BY LITTLE, she
found herself able to talk
about her mother without
feeling hurt. Little by little,
she began to confide in Kel-
ly. Then one day she called
out Hey, mom!" and the
new mother, who knew she
could not replace the real
one, realized that she had
an additional daughter.
Christmas Eve came. The
weather was clear and
cold. Chunks of ice floated
like giant cakes of soap down
the Shrewsbury River. Gayle
said: Are you going to visit,
