Termed Fairly Heavy

LONDON, March % (P).-The

fought by the fire services, but con-
siderable damage was done to some
public buildings, to shops and to
houses"

The raid apparently followed the
pattern adopted in recent weeks by
the Luftwaffe, a fiery shower of in
eendiaries to light up the target,
followed by trailing waves of bomb
ers laden with high explosives.

There was general belief. SUD-
ported by a statement of Senator
Barley, of Kentucky, the demo-
cratic leader, that Mr.. Roosevelt,
in touching on issues other than
defense, might make some recon-

Barley said it was possible that
congress would be called upon to
pass on the question of making
substantial increases in federal
grants to the states for old age

ments in all of the commonwealth.

I'VE of organized labor have two
important functions to perform"
VOL wrote them. "One, to make of

churchyards, the beautiful memoir
lals in our modern cemeteries
all these bespeak mans traditional
effort to give not mere eloquence
to his woe, but perpetual honor to
those who have preceded him into
the life beyond. Particularly is this
true in America, for we rarely
find monuments immortalizing the
sorrow of the bereaved or featur-
ing the funereal. Indeed, the very
opposite tendency prevails and
where symbols or sculpture are in
troduced, We give eloquence to the
life that has been lived; to our
Faith and to our Hope for i'm
mortality: to our moral and spirit
ual aspirations: to the truth we
have been taught by our fathers.
For truth, wrote Amiel, is the Sc
cret of eloquence and of virtue, the
basis of moral authority; it is the
highest summit of art and life.
I'm ancient Greece, the poets
and philosophers we're wont to
foregather in the temples for elo-
quent discourse and their favorit
meeting place was the exedra, usu-
ally a smi-circular seat or bench.
The classic beauty and simplicity
OF these exedrae early suggested
their use in memorial art, and in
America monuments of this type
are among the most favored for
memorials of impressive scale or
size. With the advent of modern
cemetery l~andscaping, the modest
and simple garden bench as a me-
mortal finds a wide appeal. Like
the exedra, it suggests repose and
when embraced by evergreen
planting, or thanked by lovely urns,
1t affords another non : funereal
theme for the memorial of mod
