Denounced
Trio Discusses
Making L. S. Safe
For Differences

The Rev. Robert J. White, dean
Of the law school of Catholic Uni
versity expressed the opinion yes
terday that most persons who try
to make capital out of prejudice,
whether it be the Jewish race or
any particular religion, have
racket"
IT would venture to say that out
Of any 10 who preach such hatred,
7 seek financial profit through sales
or magazines or gowns or buttons or
memberships or what not, ne de-
clared. The other three are either
hopelessly ignorant or on the bor-
derline of mental illness"
Dean White spoke with repre-
sentatives of other faiths in a SYM
postum, Making America Safe for
Differences, sponsored by the Coun-
ell of Jewish Women at the Jewish
Community Center.
Rabbi Norman Gerstenfeld of the
washington Hebrew Congregation,
described democracy as "a result OF
the contributions of three great re-
ligious groups-the prophetic visions
of the Jews. the Catholic emphasis
on objective truth and objective
rights and the Protestant belief in
the right of private judgment
DR.. Ernest S. Griffith. political
science professor at American Uni
versity and chairman of the wash
ington Round Table of the National
Conference of Christians and Jews,
urged that the current wave OF
intense patriotism be turned into
constructive channels lest the Ma
ton witness series OF witch
hunts" In the common storehouse
of the religious traditions of the
three faiths are ways whereby men
may be called upon for great and
necessary sacrifices for the common
good without endangering their
freedom. he added.
Dean White declared that "Ameri-
can history is our expert witness
that respect and tolerance for diff
ferences in race and religion do no.

the various elements in a mutual
understanding and friendship.

Police Appropriations

Failure of the House to provide for
an increase in the size of the Metro
politan Police Department is hard to
understand, in view of the concern
which has been expressed in Congress
and elsewhere over the recent in
crease in the number of robberies.
1t is true that an economy minded
Budget Bureau had eliminated the
provision for additional policemen in
the District supply bill, but it was no
secret that the Commissioners had
asked for twenty-five more patrolmen
and that Major Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent Of police, had re-
quested a minimum of one hundred
and twenty-five additional officers.
The utter inconsistency of the
Houses action is strikingly apparent
when it is recalled that only a few
days ago that body, without a dis
senting vote, approved a thirty three
per cent increase in the White House
police force, which is Independent of
the Metropolitan Police Department
and which confines itself to the job
of guarding the Executive Mansion
and grounds. This will bring the
present White House force of sixty
men to eighty members. The uni
formed corps is in addition, Of course,
to the plainclothes operatives Of the
Secret Service on duty at the White

House. The increase provided for the
White House police undoubtedly is
justified, and the House hesitated not
at all IN granting 1t. But substan-
tial increase in the size Of the mu-
nicipal police force, whose fourteen
hundred and twenty-five members
must protect persons and prop
erty within an area of more than
sixty-nine square miles, also Is un-
doubtedly justified. Major Brown
repeatedly has warned that the sec
ond and thirteenth precincts, espe-
cially, are undermanned. =. Crime is
more prevalent in those districts
than anywhere else in Washington.
That assignment of additional police
men to patrol duty has a salutary
effect is attested by the drop in
offenses noted when more than a
hundred policemen were put on extra
duty at night several weeks ago.
But 1t is unfair to expect these
policemen to perform extra duties
indefinitely. The forces of lawless-
ness are large and surprisingly eff
cient; to suppress them properly
requires adequate law enforcement
personnel-adequate in numbers,
intelligence and training. Congress
must share the blame for any con-
tinuation Of crime wave" conditions
in the Capital if it neglects to provide
the Police Department with all the
facilities needed to remedy them.

"Goodest 'Ddddy"

NO more poignant story has ap-
peared in the news in recent months
than that growing out of the criminal
case of the United States VS.. Sam
Hanft in the Federal District Court
in New York
The courtroom was crowded as
Hanft and thirty o-defendants, con-
vlcted members of a bootleg ring,
stood before Judge Robert A. Inch for
sentence. Unnoticed in the throng of
defendants, lawyers, court attaches
and curious spectators were Hanft.s
two motherless children, Erwin, ten,
and Rhoda, five. After sentence had
been imposed-Hanft was ordered to
serve a year and day in jail-the
judge left the bench and the defend
ants were led away. It was not until
the last of the spectators had filed
out Of the room that court at
tendant observed the two forlorn
children standing in the empty aisle.
What, Erwin asked, had they done
WIN MS daooy-'tne goOdeSt daddy
I ever saw" Told what had hap
pened, the youngster tearfully pro-
tested: "He amt no bootlegger. He's
a wonderful daddy. He's swell, really
swell"
Back to the bench came Judge
Inch. Endowed with the capacity for
tempering justice with mercy-one
of the many fine qualities which have
placed the Federal judiciary beyond
the destructive reach of an occasional
faithless member-he recalled the
prisoner and placed him on proba-
ton.
And so, Sam Hanft, who like most
other fathers, is the worlds "goodest
daddy to his children, gets another
chance. May he grow to be worthy of
the faith reposed in him,

was practical person, working in
as well as for the theater. The same
observation may be registered for
Moliere, for Ibsen, for a dozen other
immortal artists. When their peers
arise in the United States they will
be persons who have loved the stage
very deeply, sacrificed for it, learned
its opportunities and its limitations
by experience and, never discouraged,
poured out for it the essence of
their souls. This, doubtless, is an
other way OF suggesting that the
theater requires new spirit. If so,
history is repeating.

IN A GARDEN
By the Right Reu. James D. ILL., D., D. c. L.
Bishop of Wnshtngton

Long ago In garden far removed from
this western world of ours an event took
place that has produced startling effect
upon laan's thought concerning the
meaning Of life and its ultimate destiny.
In this garden was a disillusioned, sad
dened woman and Man whom she be-
heved to be the gardener. Presently He
spoke to her and the words He uttered
have echoed down the centuries and be-
come as sustaining hope to men the
world over. From that garden and its
Chief Occupant came the mightiest mes
sage that has ever thrilled a waiting and
expectant world. 1t was the promise of
life, abundant life; life with q meaning:
the answer to mans most insistent in
quiry. From that garden in the quiet
OF an early morning came One, who was
to be the herald of hope and peace to a
distracted world. Today millions turn
to this garden remote and In it find sus-
tanning comfort, even in the face Of
contentious and warning world.
1t was fitting that this world-stirring
event should be in a garden We have
come to associate quiet and peace in
such a setting. Here Nature seems to
rebuke and silence the strivings and am
bitions of men. Ours is a city age in
which life is cast. From soft and easy
paths men have gone to hard pavements
and the creations of human skill and
genius. Crowds and action, and ever
more and intense action, this is the way
Of modern life. 1t is out of the city that
good and evil proceed, changing mans
outlook and determining his action.
Perhaps this is the reason that so often
mans vision Is cramped and restricted,
his concepts and ideals narrow and in
sular.
Just now the world needs the garden
philosophy Of life, place where it can
find space to think in larger, nobler
terms. There is a fine symbol of this
here in our western world. and it, too, is
a garden. It has been called the Inter
national Peace Garden" and 1t is dedi-
Gated in these striking words: ITO God in
His glory, we two nations dedicate this
garden" 1t stands on the border that

Helping the Allies

With the allaying of congressional
anxiety over the administrations
policy of releasing to France and
Great Britain certain military and
naval planes now in production, the
way has been cleared for furthex
expansion of Americas plane in
duStry and a broadening of the in
valuable tests being given our planes
IN Europe's grim war laboratory.
Thus, the allied air forces are by no
means the sole benef1ciaries of the
wise policy adopted by the President
after consultation with Army and
Navy officials. The United States
stands to gain by development of
mass production methods in an in
dustry vital to national defense, by
the lessons learned from perform
ance OF the planes in actual war
service, by the mobilizing and train
Ing OF an Industrial army of skilled
plane craftsmen and by the effect on
our economy of a billion dollars
worth of warplane orders, backed by
cash from abroad.
When all these advantages were
explained to the Senate and House
Military Affairs Committees last
week by Secretary of War Harry
Woodring and other officials, both
groups dropped their plans for ex-
tensive inquiries into the plane sales.
Some criticism had been directed at
the transactions-which have been
arranged with the cooperation of
the War and Navy Departments
because of fears that military secrets
were being divulged and that our
own air force expansion program was
being impeded. The committees re-
ceived assurances from the witnesses.
however, that no secrets are being
given away and that our air power
is being strengthened rather than
weakened. The attitude of a major
lty OF the members of these two i'm
portant committees is in line with
the general feeling of the American
people about this question. This feel
ing is that it behooves the United
States to do everything within reason
and short of involvement to assist
Europe's democracies in their battle
to stop the spread of totalitarianism
and armed aggression. That Ameri-
can-made planes, piloted by French
and British flyers, are helping in this
worthy cause should be a matter of
widespread qualification in this
country
Evening star., 1940-03-31

divides the far-reaching lands of two
great peoples, peoples that speak one
language-Canadians and Americans. It
Is the symbol Of an unwritten pact or
agreement that is stronger and more
powerful for peace than armed hosts or
fortified lines. There is nothing of q
"no-man's land" here and from one do
main to another men may pass unhin-
dered and unchallenged.
Another garden has. become the elo-
quent witness to peace and quiet! What
lesson 1t teaches in days such as these!
Somehow 1t seems to reinterpret the
spirit of the Palestinian garden of old.
Such garden and such a Teacher this
troubled world needs today. It's proud
conceits, its boasted scientific advance,
Its accumulated riches, its armed forces,
these are not the evidences of its security
and its peace. Great cities, towering
cities, these are its pride; its gardens are
neglected, the lessons Of Him who spoke
words of life in a garden are forgotten.
1t Is no vain speculation to say that
what our world needs more than all else
today, is simpler, homelier, more spa
cious setting for its disputes and contro-
versies than crowded cities afford. Be-
yond all else 1t needs the invigorating,
refreshing atmosphere that is associated
with the Master of life and of men. We
are not getting far with all our scheming
and planning. We are not thinking in
garden terms. The areas in which most
Of us live are too small, too limited and
confined Little wonder that Thoreau
would not change his woodlands and open
spaces for the cramped ways of the city
nor Wordsworth change his sparkling
lakes for the fetid atmosphere of London
streets.
One wonders whether the Palestinian
garden is to become at length the source
and center Of the New Worlds peace.
One wonders whether the Peace Garden
that on this continent marks the happy
comradeship of two peoples, is to be the
standard for the nations now in conflict.
Gethsemane, the garden of suffering,
must give place to the garden in which a
triumphant Christ stands, to point the
way to the worlds order and peace.

Welfare Proqress

Inclusion in the District appropri-
alton bill of provision for an assist
ant director of public welfare is the
most progressive step which has been
taken toward doing away with the
neglect and confusion which for
years has characterized WASH
1ngton's aid for its handicapped.
Serving in an executive capacity, with
direct responsibility for conditions
In the various institutions providing
specific types of care, the assist
ant director will, in effect, be the CO.
ordinator of all such activities.
Second in Importance to this is
the authorization for central ap-
plication bureau. Long needed in
view of the multiplicity of agencies
intended to provide aid and relief,
the central bureau will eliminate the
necessity of those requiring assist
ance attempting to search out all the
possible sources of aid It will facili-
tate the most efficient use of the citys
welfare facilities by permitting the
individual applicant to be registered
with the agency whose program fits
his needs. And, in addition, it will
provide, for the first time, accurate
Information on the actual welfare
needs of the Capital
These items were included in a list
OF requests made by the Welfare De-
partment at the suggestion of the
Appropriations Subcommittee after
the original budget had been sub
mitted and after Congress and the
people of Washington had become
aroused by undesirable conditions,
particularly at the Home for the Aged
and the Receiving Home for Chill
dren. In all, the additional requests
suggested appropriations of approx
tmately three hundred thousand dol
lars to put the citys welfare activities
on modern basis. Two-thirds of
this was to be used for improving the
facilities Of the Receiving Home.
This last was eliminated, but more
than forty-Seven thousand dollars of
the other items were approved.
Those included will add to educa-
tional and vocational work at the
Industrial Home School, add per-
sonnel, give better medical care and
improve buildings and equipment at
Blue Plains, and provide better in
struction and medical care at the
National Training School for Girls.
These additions to the budget,
while they fall far short of what is
considered necessary for proper care
of the INDECENT and handicapped,
represent distinct progress, especially
In view of the current general reve-
nue. deficiency. They will do much
to improve the more glaring condi-
tions, and pave the way for future
program such as changing conditions
and more accurate information may
make possible.
