At 16 he wrote 'thread bear" when he meant But he was a great boy for self- improvement. He wrote down his own principles of conduct, and tried to live up to them. In youth and middle age he loved parties. He liked to flirt.

He also liked to drink, gamble on the races and at cards, and enjoyed dancing until he was 64 years old. He also liked to play billiards and ride to the hounds. Young Washington suffered because an attack of smallpox left his face deeply pitted. But he learned to become a sprightly conversationalist with the ladies.

The former president, evidently referring to this country's refusal to join the old League of Nations, said "the United States shirked its duty to the world in 1920 and World war resulted."

He lacked the jamin Franklin, genius of Benthe oratorical ability of Patrick Henry, or the statecraft of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. What did he have then that made him so admired, even by his own contemporaries? Courage, energy, judgment, common sense, modesty and granite character. In a time when many men were bought Washington's honor was never for sale.

Chavez introduced a resolution for such an investigation to be made by the senate banking committee. He also said he had asked the securities and exchange commission to look into the situation. Chavez, referring to what he called the unprecedented sale of uranium stock, told the senate that stock in uranium exploration corporations being sold here in Washington outnumbers the sale of all stock on the New York Stock Exchange. "I have had a lot of complaints from here and elsewhere," Chavez said later. "A lot of people are buying this stock." Most of the companies involved, he said, issue small amounts of stock and thus escape regulation by the SEC.

"For that reason," he said, "many are selling stock all over the country." Under the law governing the SEC, public stock offerings over 5300,000 have to register with the Townsend Bureau Telephone 274, Washington (JP)-- A hatchet commission and the investor has only thing to get a prospectus giving full and Harvey Matusow ever had in common. Parson Weems related that as a young boy Washington man- ully admitted to his father he had chopped a cherry tree with his hatchet: "I cannot tell a lie." This was Washington's birth- lay anniversary and the second day that senators tried to find out if there is any truth in Matu- iow. The 28-year-old Matusow now cheerfully admits he did a latchet job on hundreds "of people jy lying when he said they had lommunist connections or lean- ngs. Historians made up their minds about Parson Weems long ago: They don't take him seriously. Those listening to Matusow don't mow what to think.

He swears under oath now that ne was a professional liar, per- uring himself for money. Matusow has amazingly self- conscious eyes. He had reason to self-conscious Monday when ic appeared before the senate's internal security subcommittee. He had appeared before that lame group five times in 1952, swearing to tell toe truth when gave information about people. Matusow raised his right hand in the senate office building's luge and crowded caucus room Honday and loudly, like an exhibitionist, swore to tell the truth.

Then he testified that what le had sworn to under oath be- 'ore was false. He can't be jailed for perjury on his own say-so that he committed it. To convict him of per- ury the government would have prove when he lied, before or now, with witnesses or other evidence. But it seems a safe bet, since Matusow admits he got money for ying, that the-internal revenue jureau is checking his income ax returns. If his statements now show he lied on his returns might be nailed for income evasion.

The internal security subcommittee chairman, Sen. Eastland (D-Miss), read a statement: "This subcommittee in this series of iiearings cannot hope to determine what is truth." Why any hearings then? Eastland said the subcommittee may be able to show in some instances what are lies. financial details.
