Gemin the White House
BY MATILDA MASCIOLI
Special Star Writer

Because of an avalanche in
q small Italian town near
Sorrento and the work Of an
alert Washington antiquar-
ian, the White House Mu-
scum has added an historical
jewel to its collection.
Last March, after a land
slide had nearly wiped out
the village of Nerano, its
mayor, Don Pasquale Persico,
received an a autographed
photograph from President
Kennedy.
The President had heard Of
his heroic rescue work during
the disaster. The photograph
was presented to him by John
DeLizza, a well-known Wash
ington antique dealer who left
his native Sorrento for
Washington 10 years ago.
Wanting to appropriately
thank President Kennedy for
his gesture, Mayor Pasquale
cast about for a suitable gift
in exchange.
It was Johnny DeLizza
who inadvertently came up
with the answer. For into his
shop one day walked an ell
derby woman wishing to sell
a family heirloom-an oval
brooch framing a miniature
photograph of someone who
may have been an ancestor.
Johnny bought the brooch
for a nominal sum. While
cleaning and restoring 1t he
came across the inscription
engraved on the back: ~. S.
General Ulysses Grant, 1872"
Curious, Johnny took the
brooch to the Smithsonian
Institution for evaluation. 1t
was an authentic piece, he
found.
Maybe the White House
Museum might like to have
it," suggested the curator at
the Smithsonian.
Now excited, Johnny hus-
tied over to the White House
with the brooch. The minia-
ture, mounted in gold and
surrounded by 16 small dia-
monds alternating with 16
pearls, proved to be a signi-
ficant historical memento of
the Grant administration.
And the Museum would in
deed like to add 1t to its
memorabilia Of q by-gone
presidential era.
Then Johnny baked. mo,
he would not give it to the

A presidential challenge
has been caught by a dy-
manic diplomat from Latin
America, with the American
public the beneficiary.
In a March, 1861 speech
on the Alliance for Progress,
President Kennedy invited
"our friends in Latin
America to contribute to the
enrichment of life and cul-
ture in the United States"
Within a month after his
mid-February arrival here,
Chile's answer to the New
Frontier, Ambassador Sergio
Gutierrez Olives, had taken
the lure and was deep into a
plan in response to the
President.
The result?

grams. entitled Image Of

The ambitious series will
be inaugurated September

music and a recital Of Chill

The $3.50 pm. black tie
event Is invitational and be-
ing sponsored by President

bassador and Mrs. Gutierrez
Olives as hosts.
The program introduction
will be made by Secretary of
State Rusk, and both the
Ambassador and noted con-
ductor Leonard Bernstein

MIR. LaSkey's Duel Role

Mr. Harold Lackey erytwhile controversial figure who
resigned county personnel board chairman after county
groups argued such strong Republican, partisan should
not be administering the countys nonpoitica merit sys
tenn, is again causing citizens to wonder If politics and
government in Montgomery County aren't becoming
little too friendly.
On the hand Mr.. Lackey is looked upon as
Republican leader in the county. He is longtime COP
enthusiast the principal architect of the COP plat
form last year and member of the Republican State
Central Committee is clearly Of the part hierarchy
On the other hand he is emerging a leading coming
lawyer taking big zonng before the Republican
dominated County Council.
Recently he represented the hackers Of $40 million
high rise apartment project in Four Corners whose re-
quested rezoning approved by the County Council
although large and militant group of citizens fought it
every inch Of the way with considerable logic their side
not the least of which their argument that county
planners have yet given serious study to the problem
OF what happens to community of singlefaily homes
when 10000 apartment dweers are suddenly dumped into
the middle Of it.
Now Mr. Lackey is serving as hired counsel to Alvin
L. and Dorothy Aubnoe in their request for rezonng to
build 990un high rise apartment project Old George
town Road Mr. Aubinoe wealthy builder has long been
one Of the most generous Republican party supporters
And his wife Dorothy sits the Republican State Central
Committee with Mr.. Lackey.
Mr. Lackey stated at last weeks public hearing on the
project that he could see need for the press INDUCING
in such insnuations the County Council will
base its judgment the facts of the alone resent
these implications and the council does"
1t is indeed to be hoped that the Council will consider
the Aubinoe rezonng plea its merits only And before
Mr. Lackey too indignant about newspaper insna
TONS he should reread his words in the county COP
platform which state: 1.-THE government of Montgomery
County must be administered in the interest of all the
people and not the interest of few politicians and their
contributors Obviously this is problem in government
or Mr. Lackey would not have written about it in his
platform.
To the County Council considerable embarrass-
ment in the future, Mr. Lackey may well consider resign
ing his post of party leader before continuing to plead his
before it. He present dual role tends hurt rather
than help the publc's confidence in government.

From This Angle
Letter From A Forefa+her

One hundred and fifty years ago next
Monday a former President of the United
States wrote letter to another former Presi-
dent The date this letter was Oct. g.
1913. 1t was written by Thomas jefferson
and addressed to John Adams. Excerpts from
this letter make up this column.
Il agree with you that there is a natural
aristocracy among men. The grounds of this
are virtue and talents. Formerly, bodily
powers gave place among the aristoi But
since the invention of gunpowder has armed
the weak as well as the strong with missile
death, bodily strength, like beauty, good
humor, politeness and other accomplishments,
has become but an auxiliary ground for dis
tinction. There is also an artificial aristocracy
founded on wealth and birth, without either
virtue and talents; for with these it would
belong to the first class
THE natural aristocracy consider the
most precious gift of nature, for the instruc.
ton. the trusts, and government of society.
And indeed, 1t would have been inconsistent
in creation to have formed man for the social
state, and not to have provided virtue and
wisdom enough to manage the concerns of
society. May we not say, that that form of
government is the best, which provides the
most effectually for pure selection of these
natural aristoi into the offices of government?
THE artificial aristocracy is a mis-.
chievous ingredient in government, and pro-
vision should be made to prevent it ascend
vision should be made to prevent its ascend
aristoi into separate chamber of legislation,
where they may be hindered from doing mis-
chief by their coordinate branches, and where,
also, they may be a protection to wealth
against the Agrarian and plundering enter.
prises OF the majority of the people think
that to give them power in order to prevent
them from doing mischief is armng them
for It, and increasing instead of remedying
the evil -. Nor do believe them necessary
to protect the wealthy; because enough of
these viii find their way into every branch
of the legislation, to protect themselves.

was originally a part of Lower Frederick

Montgomery County became a separate

And it was shortly after the Montgomery
County Declaration of independence from
Frederick County, that ole Skinner Gopher

The Gopher home is constructed of wood
which was cut from the forest of oak,
chestnut, walnut, poplar, sycamore hickory,
locust, ash, birch and linden; interspersed
with holly mistletoe and crows-foot for
Christmas. Some of our early settlers sent to
England for bricks and stone; but the Gophers
preferred the native wood and even made the
nails, hewed the beams and carved the wooden
pins which peg down the wide maple floors.

Unsavory COP Attitude

This column may be short have been
so overwhelmed by the writing in this space
last week. 1t left me breathless and awed. 1t
Is amazing that my bemusing about the tat
tered Republican record in the county called
for blast from the trunk of the Chief Ele-
plant himself This senstivity to few words
at the bottom of the page startles me. I must
have struck home.
There is tone of arrogance in the whole
thing which permeates much of the activity
of this leadership. The reference to County
governmentin-exile" suggests a Siberian COM
pick. We can only hope that their extremism
won't force critics out of their homes into
the hills as Freedom Fighters.
More seriously, there has been evident in
their record n high degree Of impotence with
the traditional American propensity to sound
off. There has also been n singular pOssessive-
ness about the government - IL Is theirs, not
the pubIC's.
We have seen it in their avowal that they
proposed to conduct their Council business in
secret Republican caucuses. The party line
would be thus established and the public ad-
vised of the determinations.
1t has been evident in their breach of a
campaign promise to hold public hearings on
their appointments of public officials This has
been ignored completely and the previous
Councils practice of giving public notice of
the applicants and inviting comment has been
abandoned
1t is reflected in their failure to hold
public hearings on their financial consultant's
