As big as a suitcase, it has lain unnoticed in a corner (of a tair well for something like 80 years. Workmen lound it when hey installed a new elevator sev eral months ago. The big stone is apparently one of 189 sent from different states, countries and societies when the monument was being built during the last century the job took 3ti years, being finished in 1884. This one is inscribed "Car thage," and sure enough, one of the gift stones was from the ruins of ancient Carthage-rdonatcd by an individual. Only trouble is it was supposed to have been built into the monument with the other 1KH, and guide books list it there. Why it wasn't is something Ed mund J. Fitzgerald, superintend ent and historian of the monu ment can only guess. He thinks it probably just got lost during the two decades between 1860 and 1630 when no work was done on the monument. What's he going to do with it now? He doesn't have the answer to that, either.

Hertcr. , .'It was here, back in 1260, that the first recorded Hertcr lived and where several hundred years later the new secretary of state's Ger man great-grandfather was born. 'One out of 10 farmers here is a born Herter, and quite a number bear a striking resemblance to the secretary. .Take towering white-haired Hermann Herter. At first glance, the two faces seem almost iden tical. Same wrinkled forehead and strong-set jaws. Same features and blue eyes, whether they look at you from under the battered farm er's hat or the televised Geneva (Conference scene. . 'Seven centuries have built a strong family spirit. Although the Herter clan has scattered all over EUrope and the Americas, the Herters of Burgfeldcn still regard ajl Herters as their distant cousins. When Christian A. was named secretary of state, Burgfelden took the news in its stride. jiSaid namesake Christian Herter, alderman of the local Herters: yell, well, what do you say. So hi became a minister. He'll make odt all right. After all, he is one ol us." ;Burgfelden lies 2,800 feet high oo the Swabian Alp at the end of ff winding mountain road. jAn industrious Protestant com munity but not nearly as pros perous as the villages of the rich lQwer regions it was just a clut ter of ramshackle houses some generations ago. Life was endless toil and sometimes a bare escape from starvation. The drought-ridden soil was never fertile enough to feed more than an average of 2$0 people. Water was always scarce and Brgfelden's old-timers remember queuing up for rainwater at the Village's only water hole or shov eling snow up the roofs of their hfluses to let the spring sun turn it-'into drinkable water. Wheat was virtually unknown and bread was . made of peas and lentels. Eventually, more 'and more Burgfeldeners, among them many afHerter, dropped out of sight and went to the lowlands of Wuertem brg, to Saxony, the Rhincland and Alsace. Others scattered as far as Romania, P o l a n d, Switzerland, Uruguay, and the United States iiere they found a living in Iowa, Illinois and Virginia. JBurgfelden's history goes back to the Sixth Century and a, settle rtjent ruled by fierce Germanic tHbal chiefs. In the age-stained rjjrchment registers of the Eighth Gentury Romanesque church, the iJSme Herter first appears in the flourished handwriting of 1260. The name originated either in lirte.-' German for "Herdsman," 4 "Hart," an ancient German a!ect word for mountain forest. tChrlstlan A. Herter s ancestry Barthle (Bartholomew) Haerdter, honorable bailiff of Burgfelden, died at the age of 95. Christian Herter, the great-grandfather of the secretary, was born in 1807, the son of Ludwig Herter, a farm er and weaver who lived in the village of Pfeffingen near Burgfel den. '.'' (', ' When he was 23, this enterpris ing young Christian left the hills to make a better living as a cab inet maker in the town of Stuttgart. His son, Christian Aug ust Ludwig, the grandfather of the secretary, wandered to Paris and n 1895 decided to find out what America had in store for him. The secretary of state was born in Paris on March 28, 1895, while his parents were art students. Genealogy has become a hobby with the Herters. Balduin, who in herited the same lively interests in fine arts that animated Chris tian A. to study architecture be fore going into politics, is forever combing old documents and church registers to find new clues. Johann Georg Hertcr has spent many of his 76 years pondering over books to trace the meander ing ancestral lines of his clan Occupied with their genealogical studies, the Herters never were touched by world politics. Now, it's different. In every newspaper account of the Geneva Conference, they read their name. They feel that some thing should be done about it. "Why," suggested Hermann Her ter, "if Christian Archibald is in Geneva these days, he might as well come o"er to Burgfelden and meet the family.

Coast Probe Sill Okayed By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A bill which Sen. Warren G. Magnuson iD-Wash) said would enable the United States to "know as much about our offshore waters as the Russians" was approved Wednesday by the Senate Inter state and Foreign Commerce Committee. The bill, co-sponsored by Mag nuson, chairman of the committee, would permit the Coast and Geo detic Survey to conduct oceano graphic research beyond the con tinental .shelf or the 2.000 I at horn line, which varies from 3 to 150 miles offshore. "The Russians have charted our coasts and 1 think it is possible they have information about them which we don't because of the present limitation," Magnuson said in a telegram to the Asso ciated Press at Seattle. He said the measure would al low research which could deter mine indentations along both the East and West Coasts where ene my submarines might lurk. It would also allow research to determine shifts in the Japanese current and gulf stream and changes in ocean temperatures which affect fisheries migrations, Magnuson said. He said charts of the ocean bot tom would be perfected for the benefit and safety of commerce and navigation.
