Coal Os Arms Is Thriving Business Foresees Boom On Arrival Os Queen By GAY PAULEY United Preu Women’s Editor NEW YbRK (UP)—lt’s been a long time «ince knighthood was in flower, but the coat Os arms business still thrives. ’Tt’ll have another boom when Queen Elizabeth gets here,” said Mrs. Mary E. R. Mulford, a bright-eyed little woman who for 40 years has studied and painted heraldic insignia. “The British are great for trappings. . .there was a lot of new interest in coats of arms during the coronation.” If you're going through life without a coat of arms and figure some ancestor belonged to a medieval ”400," Mrs. Mulford is the person to see. She will do the genealogical research and, if she finds you rate a coat of arms, she will paint one for you. Some of her works will be displayed at the New York Antiques Fair Oct. 1419. *‘l research and paint about 150 a year,” she said. “It’s a lovely occupation for an old lady." Coats of arms are suitable for framing and hanging on the wall and frequently are reproduced on' seal rings, bn personal stationery, or on business cards. Originally, only knights and peers were entitled to the insignia. Date to Middle Ages Mrs. Mulford, a widow in her 50’s, said coats of arms began with the Middle Ages, date at least as far back as William the Conqueror. This, she explained, was before reading and writing were common achievements and knights in tournaments needed some way to identify themselves. It helped to know which knight was on your side. Knights painted pictures on their shields, and on the cloth which went over their armor—hence the term, coat of arms. Designs at first were simple, maybe an animal. But they became more elaborate through the centuries with stripes, crescents, bars, even floral decorations added. Our flag originated from George Washington’s coat of arms she said. It featured stars and bars. “England started keeping heraldic records in the 12th Century, so ifs easy to trace names of English origin,” she said. Now the College of Heralds, established' around 1460, registers each English insignia and controls the issue of new coats. K . Coats of Arms also come from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and from continental countries including France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Switzerland. Started at Home Mrs. Mulford became interested in heraldry from the two coats of arms which bung in her own home when she was a girl in Philadelphia. One represented her mother’s side of the family, from Switzerland; the other, her father's branch and a great-great grandparent who was minister to Germany’s Frederick, the Great. ’ I started making copies for other members of the family, someone waved money in front of my nose and offered to pay me for tracing their lineage, and I was in business," she said. She now works with James A. Watson, an antiques dealer and. heraldry expert also. He has some 6,(MX) prints of coats of arms and a vast library on the subject. Why do people want to brag about their ancestors? "It isn’t bragging,” she said proudly. “It is part of their just heritage." ! Portland Man Named Chairman Os Trustees RICHMOND HP) — Dwight Young. Portland, Ind,, garment manufacturer, has been elected chairman of the Earlham College Board of Trustees, succeeding Isaac E. Woodard, Indianapolis.

Khrushchev In

Blunt Warning On Missiles Soys Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Is Only Forerunner MOSCOW (UP) — Soviet party chief Nikita Khrushchev said today the intercontinental ballistic missile is “only one of the many things we have.” He had described the ICBM earlier as a “terrible and pitiless weapon.” “The age of bombers is over," Khrushchev said, ‘Our ICBM shows it is no good to send humanly controlled machines against missiles. •’This all points to the fact we have even more things up our sleeve. You cannot send human flesh and blood to fight things like that. Khrushchev spoke today to two British members of Parliament whom he received in his Kremlin office. Monday night he spoke at a reception the East German embassy and warned the United States and Turkey to watch their step in the Middle East because it will be too late “once guns begin to fire and rockets to fly.” (Diplomatic sources in London said Khrushchev's speeches apparently heralded a tough new diplomatic policy occasioned by launching of the Soviet earth satellite.

(The sources said the tough policy had been expected, but the exact target was not known—that it could have been anywhere from Germany to the Far East. They said it apparently was Turtcey whose staunch pro-western stand has been a major irritant to Russia. (Several hours before Khrushchev spoke' in Moscow the Syrian press began whipping up a froth of charges alleging serious air and ground incidents on the TurcoSyrian border. The press reports told of a 30 - minute shooting incident between Turkish and Syrian patrols and of a Turkish fighter plane flying over Syria. Turkey had no comment.) Khrushchev met today with British conservative members of Parliament Cyril Osbourne and Henry B. Kerby. Osbourne said what Khrushchev told him about Soviet rockets “sounded almost exactly like what American offitold me when I visited their Redstone arsenal in Alabama. 'L. Khrushchev repeated ' previous Warnings against Turkish troop concentrations on the Syrian border and added: "The Turks are not very reasonable —they have concentrated so many troops on the Syrian frantier that they are already denuding their frontier with us. “The Americans and the Turks should reflect that once the war begins it can spread, and once guns begin to fire and rockets to fly it will be too late.” "The rocket is a merciless weapon. We do not want to misuse our superiority. But I will not disclose any secrets if I tell you that we are now entering the period when fighters and bombers will have to be confined to museums because jthey already are superceded by rocket.” —^-=—•—■■ -—--—" ... .1— —.. .. Deny Leslie Irvin In Prison Escape EVANSVILLE (W — Rumors swept Evansville Monday that “mad dog” killer Leslie Irvin had escaped from the Indiana State Prison, but, Warden Alfred Dowd quickly scotched them.
