Mad Monk's IDea'h
A Siberian -born peasant turn-
ed monk, Gz•igori Efimovich Ras-
putin first gained notoriety by
parlaying Orthodox communions
iltto orgies, He swilled down huge
quantities of liquor, drank soup
by slurping it off his ditty fing-
ers, and always smelled like a
goat, Yet from 3.906 to 1910 the
"Mad Monk" was the close confi-
dant and trusted adviser to Im-
perial Russia's ruling family of
Roreanoffs, Dozens of court la-
dies adored him. "You think I
ane defiling you," he told them,
"but I am purifying you." He
also claimed to have mystic
healing powers,
Just how much "purification"
and healing Rasputin . accom-
plished is doubtful but his in-
fluence was far-reaching, often
terrifying, Frantically worried
because her fifth - born, the
Czarevich Alexis, had hemo-
philia, Czarina Alexandra ap-
pealed to Raaputin for help. He
comforted her and in time gain-
ed the confidence of the czar,
and the enmity of the court.
Inevitably he was marked for
assassination. The lure in the plot
that finally did the Mad Monk
In was Irina, the beautiful wile •
of young Prince Yusupov, Told
that Irina would be present,
Rasputin attended a midnight
meal in a cellar chamber of the
Prince's palace. As a phono-
graph upstairs played "Yankee
Doodle," Rasputin was poisoned.
But he did not die immediately
and exactly what happened aft-
er that has often been confused
in both history and legend.
Last month, in private papers
found ten years after the death
of a British guards officer, a
new account of Rasputin's death
scene was made public in_Edin-
burgh's The Scotsman. The offi-
cer, Capt, T. Y, Benyon, had
nerved with the White Russian
Army and wrote that he had the
story firsthand from Prince
Alexiaff, heretofore unknown
among the Princes who were
present with Yusupov.
Previous accounts had Raspu-
tin reelln:g from poison but re-
coveringenough to nearly choke
Yusupov to death, then crawling
sap a flight of stairs before more
pistol shots ended his lido.
Captain Benyon's footnote to
history set the same scene but
detailed different action. Raspu-
tin did drink poisoned coffee but
it only made him dizzy. Then
one of the princes tried to shoot
hirci through the head—but the
gun misfired. Aiexioff then tried
to stab him but Rasputin was
wearing a shirt of . mail and the
dagger was deflected.
"This all took place within the
Apace of about five minutes,"
1$eryon wrote, "and by this time
the Princes were full of supersti-
tious fear and convinced that the
Oran was possessed by the devil
and bore a charmed life,
"Alexioff again managed to get
within striking range; he seized
a silver candlestick and.brought
ill down with a crash on his
Dread .. ,"•
The plan then had been to
dump Rasputin'sbody in the
Neva River, but the river was
frozen over, While the Princes
were wondering what to do, some
pea,sants arrived on bhe scene.
Told that this was Rasputin, they
out a hole in the ice. Then
Princes and peasants together
ahoved the body into the water.
Policeman: "How did you
knock him down?" Motorist: "I
didn't. I pulled up to let him go
across and he fainted!"

How They Picket
The U.S. White House
To picket the White House
just wear a pair of comfortable
shoes and pick a pleasant 'day.
That is advisable, though not
required.
Actually picketing the White
House is as easy as walking to
work, ,and more interesting to
many,
Hundreds, even thousands of
people have picketed the White
House in recent months. One
man was recently muoh noted
for picketing the White House in
the morning and dining there
the same night. That was Dr.
Linus Pauling, Nobel Prize-win-
ner, who marched along Penn-
sylvania Avenue in protest
against United States nuclear
testing and later partook of pre-
sidential hospitality along with
other Nobel Prize -winners,
While picketing the White
House is oen of t h e freedoms
which may be exercised at will,
there are certain minor restric-
tions. You may not sing even
if you feel like it, or chant if
you want to. You may not pray
out loud, carry objectionable
signs or block the traffic. You
must keep moving.
A North Carolina minister
who sought to register his pro-
test against t h e imprisan4'nent
of Mr. and Mrs. Morton Sobel,
convicted atom spies, by pray-
ing for them in front of the
White House "g o t locked up
three times," a member of the
Metropolitan District Police re-
calls.
Probably the only million-
aire's wife ever to picket the
White H o u s e was Mrs. • Cyrus
Eaton. She, alongwith other
members of Women's Strike •for
Peace, vowed they would stay
on the job until the President
granted them an audience, He
didn't, and they finally' quit.
But the President is not un-
mindful: of these patrols. When
some 5,000 students from vari-
ous parts of the country con-
verged on Washington last Feb-
ruary for a mass protest against
resumption of nuclear testing,
President Kennedy dispensed
White House hospitality to the
EXODUS — Refugees by the 'boatload arrive at Marseilles,
France, from Secret Army Organization -terrorized Algeria.:
picketem In the form 01 hot cof-
fee.
This revolving traffic does not
go unnoticed by young Caroline,
Mrs. Kennedy told Dr. Pauling
that Caroline asks whenever
picketers appear: "What has
daddy done now?"
President Eisenhower had an
opportunity to pat a stop to
this type of thing, but refused
to do so. He vetoed a bill which
would have banned picketing in
front of the White Rause, claim-
ing that in his opinion to do so
would curtail the right to peti-
tion,
However, . that right may be
postponed, now and then
when the President is entertain-
ing a foreign dignitary, such as
en ambassador or head of state,
On those occasions, the whole
deal is off, Some 500 feet off,
that is. There is a strictly en -
f or c e d regulation forbidding
picketing within that many feet
of an embassy or any other
place where a foreign VIP may
be visiting.
That includes the White House,
and the Blair House across the
street, when such a dignitary is
in residence. At the rate foreign
visitors are arriving, it is a good
idea to check on who is in town,
and where, before you attempt
to picket, writes JosephIne'Rip-
ley in the Christian Science
Monitor.
Another thing, don't .. take it
for granted just because it is
okay to picket in front of the'
White House, you can. do any
ring -around -the -rosy. Try swing-
ing around • to East Executive
Avenue, on the side between the
White House and the Treasury
and you will do the twist, back
where you came from,
East Executive Avenue — al-
though you cannot toll by look-
ing at it — is not the same kind
of a street that Pennsylvania
Avenue is, under the supervi-
sion of the city police. It is with-
in
ithin the National Capital Parks
System and under the park po-
lice. They are rather sticky
about picketing and this White
House side street is off bounds,
as some young demonstrators
learned the other day.
Members of a band of paci-
fists who had arrived here to
demonstrate for peace, they de-
cided to assemble on East Exe-
cutive Avenue and march to
meet t h e i r comrades on the
Washington Monument grounds.
They got into double trouble.
They were not only on property
which is barred to parades, pub-
lic gatherings, or demonstra-
tions but showed up just when
a foreign dignitary was visiting
in the White House.
Park policemen forbadethem
to walk down the street with
their signs.
Said one of the demonstrators:
"I feel I have a right towalk
down that street with a picket
sign. It's public property."
Said another: "I think it's im-
portant that we challenge this
regulation."
So they did, and sat down on
the sidewalk — until they were
hustled off to court.
They were found not guilty
in a curious decision. The judge
ruled that the demonstrators
hadwanted to move south down
the street to rendezvous with
other picketers, but had been
prevented from doing so, Park
police, particularly those who
prevented them from doing .so,.
are puzzled.
Still, picketing the White
House is 'really very simple
once you know the rules.

Tough Problem For
The Map Makers
Every country that tackled a
national mapping program ran
into trouble, but none oe them
had as many problems to solve
as Switzerland, an up and down
country. And because she was
able to solve her mapping prob-
lems, Switzerland made a most
important contribution to t h e
science of map making, by show-
ing the world how to draw
mountains and valleys on a ma.p.
An ordinary map of Switzer-
land meant nothing to the pet)-
pie who lived there or anyone
else. Distances from place to
place could be figured out In
terms of latitude and longitude,
the way the crow flies, but that
is not the way people travel
in Switzerland. Around every
turn in the road they go up or
they go down. Whether they are
walking or riding ' they go up
and down more than they go
ahead. For this reason Switzer-
land, one of the most beautiful
countries in the world, present-
ed a challenge to artists, map
makers a n d surveyors, and a
problem that was hard to solve.
The first man who tried to
make a map of the country gave
it up as a bad job. Ile filled his
drawing with pretty pictures of
castles, monasteries, churctles
and other prominent buildings.
Then, in order to tell his readers
something about the topogra-
phy of the country, he drew
long chains of lumps or mole-
hills that were supposed to re-
present hills and mountains.
Other map makers tried to make
a good map of the country, but
most of them failed.
A sensible and accurate map
of Switzerland spelled trouble
for surveyors as well as map
makers. It meant inventing
some way of showing artistically
and clearly the high mountains
and deep valleys that cover the
entire country. Therefore, it is
no wonder that it took so many
years for Switzerland to pro-
duce her first national map.
The first accurate map of
Switzerland was begun in 1830,
under the direction of General
Dufour, and after twelve years
of hard work the first sheet was
printed and published, Thirty-
four years later the whole map
was finished. It was different
from any map the world had
ever seen. It was accurate, so
far as latitudes and longitudes
were concerned, but more than
that it was artistic.
Dufour and his men tried to
show the country as it really
was, with all its mountains and
valleys. And he did it by shad-
ing the colours he used, and
with contour lines, wavy lines
that told people whether they
were looking at a mountain 15,-
000 feet high or the flat land at
the bottom of a valley. His map
was as close as he could come
to a photographic picture of the
eountry, and it told the story.
He showed other map makers
how colour could be used to in-
dicate whether the 1 an d was
high or low, and how contour
lines with. numbers on t h e m
eottld be used to tell just how
high the mountain was.
The completed map of Swit-
zerland covered more than five
hunched sheets. Looking at any
one of these sheets, the reader
has the feeling that he is look-
ing down on the country from
an airplane. — From "Map Mak-
ing --- the Art That Became a
Science," by Lloyd A. Brown,
