'Peace Dollar' Catching on Fast as Individuals Join in Cause of Peace By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondenl New York TO Will the Individual citizen grab at the chance to do something tangi ble about promoting the cause of peace? A remarkable show of pub lic desire is taking place in New York As part of Presi dent Eisenhower's "People-to- People" program, a local bank decided on a trial-run drive to get people to carry a U.S. silver "peace dollar" as a symbol of national peace dedication. It ordered 25,000 of the sil ver dollars bearing the word "peace" from the Treasury department through the Phil adelphia mint. This special dollar can be had for $1, and the idea is for travelers abroad and Americans at home to carry it as a pocket piece and conversation-maker in the cause of peace. The Chase Manhattan bank rnSBe them available in its main office and 99 branches the last three days of last week. By Friday, the bank had to order 50,000 more. The drive began with presenta tion of the coins to Blanche Thedom, opera singer and Byron Janis, pianist, who will help represent the U.S. at the Brussels World's Fair. The dollar was minted only from 1921 to 1928 and from 1934 to 1935. There is a girl's head, a symbol of liberty, on the front. On the reverse side is an eagle on a mountain on which appears the word peace. It is the only coin is sued by any country in this century so inscribed. Aside from the presenta tion to the two artists, the bank has told its customers I about the dollar only in pam I phlets in the various branches. J The idea of a coin as a sym bol of international peace, friendship, and understand ing came from Vernon Brown, curator of the Chase Manhattan money museum of 75,000 pieces in Rockefeller Center. Shasta Daylight Delayed by Slide San Francisco (IP) South ern Pacific's southbound Shas ta Daylight was to arrive eight hours late today at 7 a.m. becaues of a slide that cut the airlines under the train. The slide took place Tues day night at LaMoine, a rail road point 22 miles south of Dunsmuir, Calif. Aboard the train were 176 passengers. The sharp-pointed rocks cut the airlines under the engine and the first five cars causing the train to come to an im mediate stop. None of the cars was derailed and none of the passengers was hurt. The passengers were put in the train's last four cars and taken back to Dunsmuir. Crewmen worked through the night clearing the tracks and moving them about a foot around the slide. Other workmen repaired the air lines. The train was supposed to have arrived at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. NO ALTERNATIVE Atlanta (W Employees of the Atlanta Gas Light co., are. brewing their coffee on an electric hot plate to con serve gas. President Eisenhower launched the People-to-Peo-ple program in September, 1956, calling on private citi zens to work out methods of promoting peace. Many com mittees of citizens have been formed under the general chairmanship of Charles E. (Electric Charley) Wilson, the business executive who bossed war production and defense mobilization in World War II and the Korean war. Brown Heads Committee Brown heads the Numis matic (money study) commit tee of the program. He says he doesn't know whether other banks across the coun try intend to follow suit. He did not expect the peace-dollar program to catch on as fast as it has. Wilson said the quick sale of the coins "shows that a search for a road to peace is in everybody's mind this is a hard-substance sign of peace a visible evidence of a need. If it'll just influence thinking, that's our major job in the world today to keep peace uppermost in people's minds." He said the People to Peo ple directors were considering spreading the gospel by a membership drive of some sort. "Working for a road to peace is a new role for this fellow Wilson," he said. "Twice I've quit my business and gone to serve the mech anism for war. Maybe if we could get millions of citizens in a membership, striving to gether, it could help create a climate in which the world diplomats could get some thing done."
