Msgr. Connolly Thanks
Eiremen and Policemen.

To the Editor Of The Star:
May ask you very kindly to permit
me, through your columns, to extend
the most grateful appreciation Of the
priests and members of st. Peters
parish for the most ef1icient manner in
which the Washington Fire Department
fought the fire which took place today
in our church? Furthermore, through
your kind columns we desire to extend
our most grateful appreciation and
gratitude to all of the firemen who
worked on the blaze. Throughout the
time Of the fire it was a pleasure to con-
suit with Acting Chief Costello. His
solicitude and care, as well as that of
the men under his command, were truly
admirable.
We feel equal pleasure in extending our
grateful thanks also to the members of
the Washington Police Department for
the thoroughness with which they per-
formed their duties. There was danger
always from falling slate from the
building, but the sight-seers we're kept at
safe distance.
May we also add word of apprecia-
tion and thanks to all of the members
of the press, friends and parishioners
who visited us and extended sympathy
with offers of help?

March ~. Pastor.

Return of Ark RovuI

The German radio announcer who
has become known to London listen
ers as Lord Haw Haw" finally has
received an answer to his oft-re-
peated query, Where is the Ark
Royal?" It Is not the sort of answer
he had expected to get, however, for
the British Admiralty has just an
nounced that the huge aircraft
carrier. which was a target for a
German bomber last September, is
not at the bottom of the sea but
plowing the waves on a secret scout
ing mission after spending two weeks
recently in home port. The British
assert that while German airman,
Adolph Francke, was being decorated
by Der Fuehrer for bombing the ship
and while Lord Haw Haw" was
challenging the British to refute the
airman's claims of having sunk her,
the Ark Royal and a convoy of de-
stroyers were roaming the Atlantic
Ocean in search of the then elusive
pocket battleship Graf Spec.
British newspapermen were per-
mitted to visit the carrier and talk
with her skipper, Captain A. J. Power,
during the stay in port. They
saw no evidence of any damage.
From Captain Power they received
the first official British version Of
what happened September 27, when
three Heinkel bombers attacked the
ship. His story, incidentally, con-
f1rmed an unofficial account brought
to New York last November by a
British visitor. This was that two of
the bombers were driven of by the
Ark Royals planes, but that a third
bomber made daring power dive to
within one thousand feet of the
vessel and loosed large bomb which
exploded in the water about fifteen
feet from the ships hull. The explo-
sion lifted the bow of the big ship
and turned her helm, but the Ark
Royal righted herself and suffered
no damage, it was declared.
From these accounts it is apparent
that the twenty two thousand ton
warship had a narrow escape and
that the German flyer had good rea-.
son to believe that he had struck a
fatal blow. The refusal of the British
Admiralty to make any statement be-
yond denial that the ship had been
hit served to strengthen Nazi hopes
that the Ark Royal had gone the
way OF the Courageous, which was
a submarine victim. But the British
knew what they were doing when
they were ignoring the laughing
taunts of Lord Haw Haw." They
are we'll entitled to the last laugh
that they are now enjoying at the
expense Of the Berlin broadcaster.

st. Peters

For an hour yesterday morning it
seemed likely that st. Peters Church,
at Second and c streets Southeast,
would be destroyed by fire. A Ave-
alarm blaze, starting in the roof,
threatened the entire structure, while
hundreds of people in the immediate
neighborhood and thousands more
throughout the city prayed that the
beautiful and sacred fame might be
spared. When the flames at last had
been extinguished, it was found that
the damage was great, but by no
means beyond repair. The building
can and will be restored. Already
Monsignor Eugene Connolly, pastor
since 1922, has received generous
offers of help.
And this, surely, is as it should be.
st. Peters is historic. The first
church on the site, raised in 1921,
was the second Roman Catholic
house of worship in the Nations
Capital. Daniel Carroll of Dudding-
ton gave the land, and was chairman
of the committee which solicited the
original construction funds. The
architect Of the existing edifice was
L. J. O'Connor, and he was a master
notably equal to the demands of his
task. His design is Romanesque at
its modern substantial,
nobly dignified, richly convincing in
its aff1rmations of the Word made
real in stone and bronze and glass.
With materials from the earth, he
raised against the sky temple
worthy for the dwelling of the Living
God. Cardinal Gibbons laid the
cornerstone in 1889. The golden
jubilee OF the completion of the work
is to be celebrated in November.
But even if st. Peters were not a
lovely and holy place, there is every
reason why it should be repaired. II
there be any truth which has been
demonstrated beyond all question in
the present turbulent period of his
tory, it is this: That civilized men
require an active faith, and that
their institutions of religion are bull
warks for the protection of all that
renders survival a tolerable expe-
rience. Each sanctuary of the spirit
is precious. None can be surrendered
without discredit to the human
family.
The new ST. Peters will rise from
the ashes Of the old, and yesterdays
fire, so considered, was merely an
opportunity for manifestation of the
devotion centered about its name.

quets of pink, rose. crimson and white

tropical growth Of tree ferns. palm trees,
banana plants and vines. On the right

wealth of exotic growth, the sound of a

among the fern fronds.
We did not go into the greenhouses
where the cacti or the orchids were, but
into the room on the east where there
were more blooming things brought in for
the Easter show, more azaleas, rhododen-
drons, tulips, hyacinths and thousands Of
cinararias-a fairyland bloom. Children
dancing delightedly about them, photo

hoping for a cut in the county tax

hoping for a cut in the county tax
rate.
On the other hand, at least one
important civic group, after a care
full study of county finances, has
suggested that the rate be increased
in order to avoid refunding the large
amount of bonds that come due this
year. Still other civic groups urged
retention of the present $l.50 tax
rate, the course the county commits
sioners intend to follow. With a
$28,00O,000 increase in the assessable
base, this rate will enable the county
to pay off about thirds of the
bonds due this year, the county COM
misSioners announced.
Their announcement OF the amount
of the assessment increase and Of
plans to retain the $3.50 rate was
followed quickly by demands OF a
taxpayers group for hearing, with
the result that the taxpayers have
arranged a mass meeting to be held
after the budget is scheduled to be
signed.
Out of the heat of the argument
over the county taxes several note
worthy facts emerge. First of all,
there is need in future years for
adequate budget hearings, preferably
at night, so persons employed in the
daytime may attend. If necessary,
legislative provision should be made
for such hearings. Second, two
unusual factors-new assessments
and a new law advancing the time for
fixing the levy several months-made
the task of the County Board excep-
tionally difficult this year. Third,
the county's growth entails greater
expenditures. In most instances the
cost of additional schools, police,
roads, ETC., exceeds the increase in
tax revenue. Fourth, the large
county bonded debt takes a huge
share of the levy. Additions to such
debt should be made with the utmost
caution, and strenuous effort
should be made to put the county on
pay-as-you-go basis. A new, bond
referendum law will help keep down
future Indebtedness.

"PINEY BRANCH ROAD.

OCAT OF.
Like % many Of The Stars readers, I
have been intensely interested in your
column. especially as know 70 little
about birds, as have always been looking
for wild flowers.
1--WE have lived in our house here 20
years this June, and believe have fed the
birds 10 Of those years. have two bird
baths, one in my very small front yard.
and one in the even smaller back yard.
"Our street is noisy and with much
trafic, and II 1t were not for the fine
grove Of hard oaks opposite our house, I
don't believe the nervous birds would stay.
I'VE really run cafeteria for birds and
squirrels, buying the shnnower seed and
baby chick scratch feed and peanuts In
large quantities. They also have bread
daily and in the winter the back yard
flock (some Of the sparrows I think feed
mostly in the front yard) get corn meal
mixed up with water, once day. Thank
you for the idea-they are enjoying 1t.
" \ X
Il had already arrived at the pie plate
idea, as my bird baths come in, in the
winter. Now for my reason in writing to
you, as living in the city with a limited
number OF birds, felt had nothing new
to tell, although had had what to me
have been thrilling experiences.
II have pair Of cardinals which have
been coming for years, and when the
neighbors' cats have been unsuccessful,
we have had the great pleasure Of seeing
the young brought to the cellar window
sill
1T is in the summer time that I learn
most about my friends, as I sit on my
porch and try to be very quiet so that
I can watch them eat and drink and
bathe.
Last summer I changed the water
often during the day. as the front yard
gets the setting sun, even putting in ice
cubes.
"The birds respond eloquently to nice
cold water on hot afternoon. My very
dear old male cardinal escorts his mate,
and fiutters around on bushes or tree
branches, talking all the time she is BATH
ing, and watching carefully for any
DANGER.
MY cardinal, think, for good reasons
the cat tribe-and love cats, too, but
we've seen many sad things here) Is espe-
cially nervous.
1T was only few times that saw him
bathe, as = car or person would come
down the road and he would fly away.
They get up early, and believe that
that is the time they bathe, for they are
certainly beautifully clean.

believe he knows my voice, for he waits
until I come. OF course, in the winter,

There you have a drama from real
bird life, and in the city. too.
This good letter shows one and all of
us how admiring the birds, and getting
help and drama from them, as we'll as
feeding and protecting them, is quite as
possible and profitable in the crowded
city as in the suburbs.
Birds are where you find them. This
column has stated repeatedly that bird
observer with real interest in heart and
mind can find plenty on a small window
sill or on tin roof.
letters this column has printed was from
q woman who fed birds on a roof just
outside her window.
To do this, she actually shared her
breakfast money with her feathered
friends. (some times people tend to
laugh at that phrase, "our feathered
friends" but they will think it a good
phrase, too, when they become inter-
ested)
The above letter is but one of many
scores received recently dealing with the
bathing Of cardinals.
The unanimous opinion is that this
fine bird does take baths, just as other
species love to bathe.
1t will be recalled that correspondent
asked the question. Do cardinals bathe?
Well they must and do bathe as
frequently as other species, If we can
believe our correspondents, and We do
and must. Perhaps, as suggested, they
mostly bathe in tho very early morning,
since they are among the earliest bird
risers.

Urges an Investigation Of
Martha Gibbon Case.

To the Editor of The Star:
In fairness to all concerned, including
DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, there should be
complete investigation Of recent
complaints concerning the resignation of
Miss Martha Gibbon from the George
Washington University faculty.
We In Washington, who do not have
q State university, have grown to feel
that George Washington is our school,
and we resent any doubts cast upon
the integrity of its administration.
Because have lived In Washington
for nearly 30 years and have myself
attended the university, I feel something
more than q mere academic interest In
the matter. At the present time two Of
my sons are students at the university.
Regardless of the merits of the case,
have been deeply concerned by the
recent criticisms by = committee rep
resenting certain group of the alumni
of the university regarding the ability
and character Of its president, DR..
Marvin,
The action Of the committee came as
complete surprise to me. l have never
heard snything but praise for the excel
lent progress the university has made
under the administration of DR.. Marvin.
About the resignation of Miss Gibbon,
or the reasons that caused her to take
such action, know nothing. But it does
seem to me that the matter has gone
beyond Miss Gibbons action and has
reached the stage where q complete
and full airing Of the whole matter would
have a most salutary effect on all con-
cerned. I am certain that DR.. Marvin
not only would be agreeable to such an
investigation but would welcome it.
feel that all newspapers have 80 far
overlooked the fact that their playing

wrong to DR.. Marvin. He has been placed
In an embarrassing position and the

vindicate himself. ISAAC TEPPER.

Jay Franklin Column Called

By Thomas r. Henri.

10 the Edltof OF The star
It is probably a good idea to have a
column in The Star to present the wrong
point of view. I am referring, of course,
to your columnist who signs himself Jay
Franklin. However, do you not think
there should be some limit to what he
is allowed to say?
am referring specifically to a SEN
tence in his second paragraph of last
evenings issue: 1T took moral courage
of type rare in American public life
for the Labor Board to stand by its guns
and by the law-while' the Smith COM
mittee," etc. The words "and by the
law" are those that specifically object
to as being untrue. The committee has
received evidence by the personal ad-
mission of Labor Board Chairman Mad

Objects to Provisions
OF Proposed Income Tax.
To the Editor Of The Star:

wish to call attention to the inequity
and glaring injustice of the income tax
provisions of the new Nichols tax bill
now pending in Congress. The bill pro-
vides for an exemption of $4,000 earned
income and also for an exemption Of
only $1,000 of unearned income. so that
man having a total income of $4,000
$4,000 earned and $4,000 unearned)
would pay the same income tax as
man having total income Of only
$4,000 which comes under the unearned
classification.
This discriminates against the old and
infirm who are not able to work, but
who, in their active years, made mod
est provision for their support in their
old age so that they would not become
objects of charity.
Where is the justice and equity in
such proposed law? H. G. LONG.
