Pastors Oppose
Sunday Movies
In Alexandria

The Rev. Norman Roberts, de-
claring that he is proud of his own
record as a fighting soldier, yester-
day won ground in a campaign
against permission for Fort Belvoir
trainees to see Sunday movies In
Alexandria.
He gained adoption by the Alex
andria Ministerial Association of a
resolution expressing unconditional"
opposition to such exhibitions. Last
week Gardner L. Boothe, chairman
of the Northern Virginia Regional
Defense Council, had advocated
lifting blue law provisions as far as
movies are concerned.
Mr.. Roberts, who is pastor of the
Methodist Protestant Church, de-
clared his opposition to Sunday pic
lures sprang from an intimate
knowledge of the desires of military
men. He recalled his service as an
infantryman with the World War
Rainbow Division.
He proposed, as an alternative,
that every Alexandria parish hall,
educational room and Sunday school
be thrown open to selectees on Sat-
urday and Sunday.
The Ministerial Association re-
served decision on this suggestion
until further study.

Then he told about the girl who
came to see the late Senator Cara
way, the present Senator's husband.
She looked funny" around the eyes,
he said,
When she started talking suicide
and fumbled in her bag for the gun
she said she had there. Mr.. White
side says he told her!
eff you insist on this, would you
mind going out in the hall. We have
q new green rug and it's much easier
to clean blood of marble"
The girl relaxed.
High point of Mr.. Whiteside's
career is the night Representative
Flood of Virginia dictated the dec
laration of war to him In 1917. He
still regrets he didn't make a copy
for himself, perhaps with the auto
graphs of the Virginia legislator
and Sir Cecil Arthur Spring Rice,
then British Ambassador, who stood
at his shoulder while Mr.. Flood
dictated the resolution that put the
United States into war.

Mr.. Whiteside has had his small
triumphs. AS clerk of the Commit
tee on Enrolled Bills first in the
House and now in the Senate, he
has known every President since
Theodore Roosevelt. And in his
home town of Nashville, Ark, the
school gymnasium bears his name.
Other Capitol executives boast
a longer record of service than Mr..
Whiteside but, as he point out, they
didn't have to go out and electioneer
every two or six years to keep their
jobs.
He has served with the late Rep
resentative Cravens, the late Repre-
sentative Wingo, the late Senator
Caraway and with Mrs. Caraway
since her husbands death in 1881.

tary yesterday by commenting that
it wasn't like this in the old days.
In the first decade of the Goth

Representatives requesting garden
seed. Occasionally, they asked for q

Now the only way he can file the
letters is to spread them in little
heaps on the floor around his desk
in Senator Caraway's Office.
They write:
Dear Senator Caraway,
II am for (against) the lease-lend
bill and I wanted to tell you
about it,"
Requests Varied.
They pour their troubles onto Mr..
Whiteside's desk. They want a
N. Y. A. project, or a P. w. A. or a
w. P. A. project. They want de-
fense plant built in their backyard.
They know a poor woman who is

Mr.. Whiteside has been assigned

doesn't mind, having a 3-year -old

Everett Sanders
Talks at Dedication
OF Coolidge High
Widow of President
Sends Message Read
At School Ceremony

Education is a necessary founda-
ton for a country whose policies
are determined by those chosen by
the people, Everett Sanders told
an audience last night at the dedi-
cation of the new President Calvin
Coolidge High School. Mr.. Sanders
was secretary to the late President.
The knowledge of the masses
measures the wisdom of the policies
of the government" Mr.. Sanders
continued. Although we sometimes
think of President Coolidge as a
partisan, he was first a fine Ameri-
can citizen and a conscientious
public servant. For high school
in the Nations Capital to bear his
name is very appropriate. One OF
the characteristics was his reserve.
A man with reserve may at crucial
time draw on the reserve and speak
out with great emphasis. Such en-
phasis then carries tremendous
weight. This was shown in his
ringing statement of governmental
principles during the Boston police
strike, when he said: There is no
right to strike against the public
safety by anybody, anywhere, any
time" "
Mrs. Doyle Presides.
The exercises were presided over
by Mrs. Henry Grafton Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education. The
invocation was by the Rev. George
w. Schnable, pastor of the Albright
Memorial Evangelical Church. After
selections by the school orchestra
and the school glee club, Capt. John
L. Person, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, representing the District
Commissioners, in a short address
presented the key to the school to
Mrs. Doyle.
Mrs. Doyle praised Thomas j
Holmes, the principal, as one who
was going to be the educational
leader of the entire community y
Mr.. Holmes followed by accepting
the building and expressing appre-
citation to those citizens and officials
who had made the new school 9

Greetings were extended by DR.
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent OF
schools for the past 81 years, and

Lewis Enters
Speculation for
Byron S Seat
Said TO Be Available;
Lune Moy Decline
To Oppose Widow
BY BEN III. PEARSE,
Star Staff Correspondent.

ANNAPOLIS, March 5.-The
name of David j. Lewis, former
Representative from the 9th Mary
land district, entered the field Of
speculation today as an alternate
candidate for the vacancy resulting
from the death last week Of Rep
resentative Byron IN an airplane
crash near Atlanta.
Mention of Mr.. Lewis, now q
member of the National Mediation
Board who retired from active po-
litical lists after his defeat by Sem
ator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary
land, in the presidential purge"
campaign three years ago, came
after announcement by Mrs. Byron
that she would seek the nomina-
ton to fill the -unexpired term of
her husband.
While Democratic leaders in West
ern Maryland seemed agreed on
William Preston Lane of Hagers-
town, national Democratic COM
mitteeman for Maryland and a for
mer attorney general of the State,
the candidacy of Mrs. Byron ad-
mittedly injected complications.
Mrs. Byron is actively campaigning
for her late husbands seat in Con-
gress, and Democratic leaders have
received letters asking their support
to carry on his work for his dis
trict.
Lane May Decide.
Mr.. Lane is the law partner Of
David Byron, brother of the late
Representative, and Mrs. Lane is a
first cousin. Should he decide he
would not care to interfere with the
aspirations of Mrs. Byron, 1t was
admitted in many quarters that an
other candidate might be sought.
With that in mind, Mr.. Lewis was
approached and according to reports
by friends was said to be available"
While many Democratic leaders
were sympathetic with efforts by
Mrs. Byron to succeed her husband,
1t was recalled that should she
receive the nomination, she would
probably have to oppose A. Charles
Stewart, Allegany County Repub-
lican, who lost out to Mr.. Byron in
1888 by margin of about $500 votes.
Whether she could do as well with
national and international. affairs
in their present state was considered
doubtful by many.
Cantrel Backing Found.
Z. Brooke Lee, Montgomery County
leader, who has been mentioned as
q candidate in some quarters, has
declared for Mr.. Lane, it is under
stood, although Joseph A. Cantrel
of Bethesda has some hackers in the
county. He lost the nomination to
Mr.. Byron in the 1888 Democratic
primaries. According to reports here,
Edward Ryan of Allegany, who car
ried his county in the same primary,
and Attorney General Walsh are
both supporting Mr. Lane.
While Mr.. Lane was conceded the
Democratic nomination if he will
accept it, Mr.. Lewis is believed to
be a possibility for the seat he held
for more than a score of years until
his retirement three years ago.
