Some heads may roll as the
result Of the ballet perform
ance at the White House
Tuesday night. President
Kennedy has indicated his
diSpleasure that the high

hibited at previous perform
ances in the East Room was
not maintained. Cracked one

technique and originality in
both the classical and mod
ern American variations.
But the Robert jeffrey Ballet
presentation before the En-
peror Of Ethiopia was more
of a vaudeville or musical
comedy type performance
that left something to be
desired. 1t was too much of
a contrast to appear in the
same setting in which Met
ropolitan Opera stars have
sung, Pablo Casals and Isaac
Stern have played, the
Shakespeare Festival Group
has performed and Ernest
Hemingway's unpublished
works have been read by
Frederic March.
As a result of Tuesday
night, the President is ex-
pected to take a close look at
the Department of States
Cultural Presentations Pro-
gram which is about to send
the jeffrey Ballet to Russia,
having already sent it
throughout the Middle East
and Southeast Asia.
About a year or so ago
there was an cutlery from
Congress over joey Bishops
appearance abroad under the
State Departments sponsor
ship. And there have been
other criticisms that we are
not exporting our proper
image of excellence.
The President will want to
know why we do not send
only the best that America
can offer. Whether it's the
Philadelphia Symphony, or
only a school glee club, it
should be the finest in that
category and it should be
appropriate.

first-aid detachment. It's re-
ferred TO as a teen-age dis
aSter detachment, and it's the
only one Of its kind in the
Red Cross, officials say.
Unusual Rescuer
These teen-agers have gone
beyond the usual first-aid
courses. They can do aerial
rescues such as lowering
victims from 75-foot- high roofs.
They can, 90 down into
creViceS and ravineS and
bring up victims. II there's
no other way, these teens can
repel themselves off sides Of
cliffs to get to the victim.
That. In itself isn't easy. In
fact, it's a workout Olympic
skiers use to keep in shape
for racing, lowering them
selves down a cliff on q rope,
kicking off the side Of the
cliff as they 60 down.
The disaster squad can
make almost any kind Of land
rescue. Its members can 90
as high or as low as their
rope viii reach and they've
got q couple hundred feet Of ii.
Any time there's excavating
going on, or construction,

practicing.

1ucTS WSEe SCFeAEuS.
A teen-age boy, walking
down q Silver Spring street,
heard them. He saw people
gathering on a parking lot
and ran over.
A parked car. had popped
its brake and q woman was
trapped underneath.
The boy pushed through
the crowd. He crawIed under
the automobile, wiggIing his
way to the 66-year-old woman
who was lying on her side,
pinned down by the weight Of
the car.
He treasured the moaning
woman, then told someone in
the crowd to call an ambu-
lance. He grabbed a white
jacket off the back Of a man
who was watching and applied
1t to the woman's scalp to
stop the bleeding. He sent to
a filling station for an auto
jack. He refused to let anyone
move the woman for fear Of
further injury.
Correct Diagnosis
The teen-Ager helped Silver
Spring firemen edge the
woman out from under the
car. The boy said he thought
she had a broken pelvis,
broken shoulder and multiple
Commissions. Then he disap-
peared In the crowd. X-rays
at the hospital proved the
diagnosis correct and doctors
said that if the woman had
been moved she would have
been dead on arrival at the
hospital.
But no one knew who the
black-haired boy was who
kept people in the crowd
from trying to get the woman
out.
This was in late August. It
took q couple Of weeks Of
police work to trace the life
saving act to AL Eagles, a
teen-ager who just two hours
before had graduated from the
standard and advanced Red
Cross first-aid courses. The

son sophomore, is the squads

there's nothing to hook on to,

explains Sergt. Ernst.
Each teen seems to have a

Bethesda Chevy Chase High
junior, has designed a uni
form for the girls. It's q gray
button-up cOllarless Jacket
worn with gray culottes made
Of upholstery material. "They
don't make anything standard
for girls going off Cliffs" says
Kay.
Other Members
Kay'S sister Betty, a ninth
grader at Leland Junior High,
is also in the detachment,
along with Linda DonneIIy,

Don Martin, Robert Arrow

drOp-outs in the unit.
The detachment is always
looking for new m e m bers
through its offices at the
Montgomery County Red
Cross Chapter House on East
West highway in Silver
Spring. In addition to their
land rescues, the group is
planning to take up water res
cue work next, so good swim
mers are needed.
The teen-agers claim their
disaster course has given
them confidence In tn 9 m
selves and a sense Of security.
And. the more people who
know first aid, the more Sc
cure they feel.
As Sergt. Ernst says about
the teen-a 6 eT S: "The Red
Cross should never feel its
flag will fall. With teen-agers,
it's in strong hands,"
