Court Hearing Is Set
On Guide Ordinance

A three judge Constitutional Court
will convene at the United States
Court Of Appeals Building tomorrow
to consider municipal ordinance Of
the District relating specifically to
guides who conduct sightseeing tours
In the National Capital.
Christopher Cannon, attorney for
Stanley L. Mahoney, whose guide
license was revoked by the Commis-
sioners in September, contends that
the section Of an act Of the Seventy
second Congress conferring on the
Commissioners the power to license
sightseeing guides Is = unconstitu-
tional and that a police regulation
for enforcement Of the section also
is invalid.
Mr.. Cannon will argue that the
ordinance is so peculiarly worded
that 1t may apply to anyone. He
contends also that the Commits
sioners acted arbitrarily and cap
riciously" in revoking Mr.. Mahoney' s
license. The Commissioners ordered
the revocation on recommendation
Of the hack inspectors once.
Sitting on the tribunal will be
Associate Justice Harold M. Stephens
Of the Court Of Appeals and Justices
Joseph w. Cox and Jennings Bailey
Of District Court.
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal
and his associates will seek to con-
vince the Constitutional Court that
the municipal ordinance providing
for regulation OF guides Is valid.

Reinstatement Of Wise
Backed by Mai. Brown

Mai. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of Metropolitan Police, said
today he would recommend that
Policeman Luther c. Wise, cleared
by a Police Trial Board yesterday
of conduct unbecoming an officer,
be restored to duty.
Formerly a precinct detective, the
policeman was acquitted more than
. year and half ago in District
Court Of charge of extortion.
Maj. Brown said his recommends
ton will be made to the District
Commissioners, and If approved, the
officer will be reinstated
Maj. Brown said Wise would be
assigned as private to the third
precinct If he is reinstated. At the
time Of his suspension, he was re-
assigned as private.
The matter Of back pay has been
referred to Maj. Daniel j. Donovan,
District auditor. who said today he
will report that the District cannot
make an outright payment Of back
pay for the 18-month period the
officer was suspended.
Maj. Donovan pointed out that
payments out of current appropria-
tions can be made only for services
rendered, under q ruling in similar
case. The proper procedure, he said,
will be for the officer to file his re-
quest In the form of a claim or
Judgment against the District. Then
the Commissioners, under their au-
thority to pay such payments not
exceeding $1,000, may determine how
much the officer shall be paid and
include this item In the first def
cieney appropriations bill.

CUERNAVACA, Morelos, Mexico,
May 5.-Morelos, the smallest state in

Three of the Legislatures. with their
respective Governors, were installed in
different parts of Cuernavaca, while
the fourth established itself in the
town of Tetecala.
The situation was so confused that
the outgoing Governor. Refugio Busta-

made. Yes. And to be relied. Doubt
less. And to be recognized. Admit
tedly. And to be re-educated. With
out question.
But beyond all these needs, and un-
derlying them every one, is the ali-
pervading need that the world be
saved-saved from itself and Its old
self-centered nature, which the
preachers call sin; saved from foolish
leaders and fatuous reformers; saved
from theorists and demagogues; saved
from the needless followers Of every
thing that Is new, and saved from the
blind obscurantism which clings only
to what used to be.
War has not chastened humanity;
the depression has not chastened it;
nor yet hunger or cold or vast social
upheavals. Is 1t not time that we
turn aside from our cheap and futile
devices for bettering life and kneel
at the foot of the cross, where peace
has ever been found by the penitent?
We have failed to save ourselves: Why
not let the Christ save us? His yearn-
Ing for the worlds betterment is more
real than that of the most solicitous
publicist. II we could but hear, He still
is crying from His cross, Come unto
Me. all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and will give you rest"
The Master Word.
The master word for our troubled
today Is the Masters word. In front
OF time that is engrossed in the
pursuit OF more money, more leisure,
new pleasures. fresh sensations, trivial
and prideful qualifications, He holds
up the cross upon which He was up
holden. Il. If I be lifted up, will,
draw all men unto me-" The new
level Of life we seek Is the cross
level. 1t is salvation from sin that
Is a more pressing need of the land
today that the need for lower prices
or for greater production or for social
and industrial peace. Once let the
world come to the foot of the cross,
and everything. yes, literally every
thing. that ails our sickly time will be
healed straightway.
To save the world it Is necessary
to save the people in the world. And
when they are saved from sin they
Will be saved from everything that
is the matter with our day. The
broken heart Of the Savior will break
the proud and stubborn and wilful
hearts Of all Of us who are hurting
our generation. His vast love will
drown our miserable selflshness. What
saith the Scripture? He died for
all that they that live should no
longer live unto themselves, but unto
Him who for their sakes died and

Their plan Is futile. Only q new

is the spirit OF the Cross OF course,
we should deal vigorously with law
breakers, regardless of class; but even

Real radicalism is, in q dictionary

spirit Of good will to men, and of the
subordination of the desires of the
