Surrealist Tiles By Bali Stir Historic Georgetown By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? When Rhode Low Seoane. wife of ? retired Army colonel decorated the front of her house In exclusive Georgetown with tiles designed by surrealist Salvador Dall, neighbors claimed It disrupted the atmosphere of the historic section. "Remember Dear, how we came home one day to And a photograph er crouched up close to the steps fo take pictures of the tiles, and all the fuss," Mrs. Seoane laugh ingly asked her colonel, an Army veteran of 40 years. "We think we've taken my husband'a ugly old three-story brick house and made something artistic with It." The Seoanes spend theK winters here, and summers at "Thaiassa" ?Greek for "the sea"?, the former Miy Low's family home at Bristol, R. I. They bought the colorful tiles bearing Dall Interpretations during a visit to Spain. They brighten the sides of the windows and front stoop of their house which the colonel said he bought 16 years ago. "I think they add a unique and I distinctive character to an other- 1 wise dull street, "Mrs. Seokne. s water color artist, with a flair of ' her own for originality told me." Georgetowners went to the dis trict commissioners In their tixzy \ over the tiles, murmuring some- , thing about building permits, but , these gentlemen ruled that Dall's i artistry "does not constitute a dan- | ger to the public or to other prop- I erty owners." Obviously they're i there to stay. I Mrs Seoane, whose father.

DIAL GL 6-865.3 RATWOOD STREET | ' ? ? - I Youngsters Defend Right To Use Cars AP Newafeatures What's your gripe about driving? Everyone seems to have one. i Why be different? One bombshell occurred in Con necticut when the governor sug gested curtailing youngsters' driv ing privileges in the interests of highway safety ... " It would cut down attendance at proms," protested one 17-year oid whose letter was among scores the governor received. "It would keep us from dating after school," moaned another. "Other transportation is so jam med we'd be late for school all the time." one jalopy enthusiast cried. Mothers are having their say too. One mother expressing the beliefs of many parents who've written the governor, observed: ** "T|een-a2ers today are subjecf to more uncontrollable temptations than In former years." "What temptations." asks a nice . girl, "and -how are they different than grandpa's buggy rides or Dad's hammock or summer house dates?" Another young girl shocked to tears when told her beau could no longer have the car because his family feared necking and pet ting parties had this to say: "What kind of girl do they think I am? Perhaps their son has been dating other girls, but I don't think so. My parents are up in arms over their remarks, and they don't want me to see their darling boy again." "Be sure of the facts" young people plead of parents ready to . accuse them of reckless driving. One teen-ager related that just | because he had a few scratches | on the family car his father ac ! cused him of drinking at the wheel., ; The scratches, he said, were park ing bruises and the strongest drink he had of an evening was a choco late milk shake. One girl says that most girls will not ride with a boy who has been drinking, anyway. Another says that a boy who looks for shadv lanes to park after , the dance it tabbed a "bad risk". Fast driving seems to cause ! parents most anxiety, however. " Some young moderns tried to , i find sensible solutions to the prob lem . . "if parents worry so much why don't they have a boy check j in bv telephone before he drives the car home" . . . "why not haved special speedometers on cars so , they couldn't go faster than the law . allows" . . . "why not cut down on horsepower and make a special car just for teen-agers. A small car that wouldn't go too fast or cost too much should be very popular" , . . a car with an automatic slow er-upper that could be set by par ents before the car leaves the garage. It could also have an alarm reminder going off at the hour he's expected home or the girl is to be home . telephone car to home connections might satisfy some par ents too.? GRANGE MASTER?This Is > recent picture of Harry B. Cald well of Greensboro, mastor of the North Carolina Grange. (AP Photo). | Suicidal Insurance TOKYO (AP) ? Officials are ! worried about the effects of the new compulsory auto liability in surance here. Ail motorists, including thous ands of Americans, must have the insurance or face fine or imprison ment. What worries officials is that furvivors of anvooe hilled in a car accident automatically get 300.000 yen without even going to court. They fear that Japanese bent on suicide ? and the suicide rate is high ? will forsake the cliffs, railroad crossings, volcanoes, bridges and high buildings and leap into the paths of automo biles. While 300,000 yen is only $833 in American money, it is an aver age year's salary in Japan and Japanese have been known to com mit suicide because of debts small er than this.
