Assessments
Review Is Set
InMOntgOmery
Committee Voted
By County Council
After Complaints

Appointment of a special
committee to review increased
real estate tax assessments was
authorized by the Montgomery
County Council today.
The action came as citizens
groups in scattered parts of
the county complained to the
council about the methods and
the extent of recent reassess-
ments.
County officials pointed out,
however, that for the last two
years all reassessing has been
done by State employees on
orders from State officials.
Councilwoman Mary Hep
burn said the local review COM
mittee had been promised DUR
ing the election by the five
Republicans who now control
the council. She said the pro-
posed committee could keep To-
cal officials informed Of assess
ment actions taken in the
county by the State.
Selections Delayed
On the advice of County At
torney Alfred H. Carter, the
council delayed appointing the
committee for one week. The
delay was ordered to allow
Robert Reeding, a tax lawyer
and the council majority's
choice for chairman of thu
committee, an opportunity Il
draft the resolution outlining
the committees duties.
During discussion Of assess,
ment complaints, Mr.. Carter ex,
planned that the State is try,
ing to equalize the assessing
formulas used in the various
counties. Despite Montgomery
high tax rate and large tal
base, the formula it uses fol
assessing is 81 per cent of ac-
tual value. This ratio is lowel
than 19 of the % other coun,
ties and the City of Baltimore,
Mr.. Carter said.

ing has already chosen thu

They are: Robert ]. Bird O.

ment instead of the curren

The
Rambler
Defers to
Walter Puter
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Mona Lisa goes on public
display tomorrow at the
National Gallery of Art.
Wishing to observe the
occasion fittingly, the Ram
bier turns this column over
to Walter Pater (1839-l894).
He wrote:
THE presence that rose
thus so strangely beside the
waters, is expressive of what
in the ways Of a thousand
years men had come to de-
sire. Hers is the head upon
which all the ends Of the
world are come, and the eye
lids are a little weary.
"It is a beauty wrought out
from within upon the flesh,
the deposit, little cell by cell,
of strange thoughts and
fantastic reveries and ex-
quisite passions.
"Set 1t for a moment be-
side one Of those white Greek
goddresses or beautiful
women Of antiquity, and how
would they be troubled by
this beauty, into which the
soul with all its maladies has
passed.
Evening star., 1963-01-08

GALL THE THOUGHTS
and experience of the world
have etched and mounted
there, in that which they
have Of power to refine and
make expressive the outward
form, the animalism of
Greece, the lust Of Rome, the
mysticism of the Middle Age
with its spiritual ambition
and imaginative loves, the
return of the pagan world,
the sins of the Borgias.
"She is older than the
rocks among which she sits;
like the vampire, she has
been dead many times, and
learned the secrets of the
grave; and has been a diver
in deep seas, and keeps their
fallen day about her; and
trafficked for strange webs
with Eastern merchants, and,
as Leda, was the mother Of
Helen Of Troy, and, as Saint
Anne, the mother Of Mary;
and all this has been to her
but as the sound Of Tyres and
flutes, and lives only in the
delicacy with which it has
moulded the changing Inca
ments, and tinged the eyelids
and the hands.
"The fancy of a perpetual
life, sweeping together 10000
experiences, is an old one;
and modern philosophy has
conceived the idea of hui
manity as wrought upon by,
and summing up in itself, all
modes of thought and life.
Certainly Lady Lisa might
stand as the embodiment Of
the old fancy, the symbol of
the modern idea"

President Will View
Mona Lisa Tonight

Mona Lisa, who has Ian
guished in a vault in the Ma
tional Gallery of Art since
December 10, will emerge to-
night to keep a date with the
President of the United States
The 459-year-old Italian ma
tron and the 45-year-old Chief
Executive will come face tc
face amid pomp and circum-
stance that her creator, Leo
nardo da Vinci, would have
appreciated immensely.
The public will have to wait
until tomorrow to see the lady,
But tonight the Nations first
family and 1900 influential
citizens will attend private un-
yelling ceremonies at the gal
lery.
Carefully Guarded
No queen of the Almanach
de Gotha or the silver screen
has been so carefully guarded
or so zealously protected from
the cold, the damp or the
changing temperature as La
Gioconda. When the confronta-
ton takes place at 9:45 pm,
the priceless painting will be
flanked by Secret Service men
and United States Marines with
bayoneted rifles.
Mona Lisa will receive her
admirers upstairs in the gall
lery's West Statuary Hall.
Chief Justice Warren, who
was to introduce the President,
decided against attending the
ceremonies because of a sore
throat and an attack of laryngi-
tls. Secretary OF State Rusk
will substitute for him.
Frances Minister of Culture,
Andre Malraux, will act as host.
Mr.. Malraux, on his arrival
at National Airport late yester-
day. said he was completely
satisfied with security measures
to protect La Joconde," as the
French call the painting.
He conceded there was a risk
in shipping her from the Louvre
to the United States-she came
on the luxury liner France
but added:
when the boys landed in

Normandy, there was a risk,
too"
Mr.. Malraux was greeted at
the airport by French Ambassa-
dor Herve Alphand and Ma
dame Alphand and there the
great writer and leader of the
Resistance submitted to a brief
press conference.
Would an American painting
cause such a stir if sent to
France, the 62-year-old French
man was asked?
Gallo Rebuff
do you think there is q
painting anywhere like La
Joconde?'" he replied with ar
untranslatable Gallo gesture.
What Of the concern felt by
the French people for the safety
OF thelr treasure?
All that is past now, he said
Mona Lisa was sent to the
United States, he said, because
this country has saved France
twice in this century. However
he defended her long stay in
the vault at Fourth street and
Constitution avenue NV. on
the grounds that it takes a long
time to set the right atmos-
pheric conditions for so ancient
and fragile a treasure.
The gallery gave this sched-
ule when the Mona Lisa may
be viewed by the public:
Tomorrow, from 10 am. to
5 pm.
Thursday through Saturday
this week. from 10 am. to 9
pm. Sunday, January 13, 10

public demand is so great an

In addition, school groups
may make appointments to see
