Miss Addie said, Hmm" and
then having gone so far, went
headlong:

The hands on the round lighted
face of the clock in the town hall
tower were their poles apart at the
half hour after midnight, and Main
street, beneath the clear December
stars, was deserted. The town
slumbered, peacefully unaware that
there was more than light that
burned in the little shop between
the florists and the bank where
Barbara Wister and young Bud
Harding contemplated the fruits Of
their evenings work.
They stood outside Of the build
ing, looking, a little like proud ar
lists, at the transformation. They
spoke in whispers because the
night was so still and because some
OF her wonderment communicated
itself to the boy.

Bud said, Yeah, sorta. But more

The same thought was In her
mind as she looked at the low roof
that slanted over the lead-paned
bay window Of the freshly painted
building. at the framed view OF
plants and books and comfortable
chairs grouped around the hearth.

In Fiqht on Confession

Guy E. Oden, 10. on trial for his
life in District Court, will continue
his testimony Monday on whether
his alleged confession of the killing
of his 15-year-old sweetheart, Ellen
Reid Cannon, was voluntary.
The hearing on the admissability
of the confession was adjourned
yesterday by Justice F. Dickinson
Let's after Oden had been on the
stand only five minutes testifying
about his background. The court is
not in session today.
Oden was put on the stand after
Justice Let's ruled that the testi-
mony of three police officers, who
took the confession, had established
prima facie case of voluntariness.
Whether Assistant United States
Attorney Bernard Margolius will
have to put on two other officers,
who also heard the confession, de-
pends on the jurist's ruling after
listening to Oden.
1t. Aubrey Tolson of the homi-
eide squad testified yesterday that
Oden had said he shot the girl be-
cause he loved her" 1t. Tolson
said Oden mentioned nothing about
the shooting's being an accident, as

Charles c. Curran, moderator of st.
Thomas More Guild, an organiza-
ton Of Catholic social workers,
warned that Catholic charitable and
educational projects may be de-
stroyed if the Government pro-
posal is enacted.
The tax proposal, advanced by
Randolph Paul, tax adviser to the
Secretary of the Treasury, as
means of raising increased war rev.
enue, is worrying church leaders.
A number Of them already have
made known to the administration
their opposition to such a move,
including Msgr. Michael J. Ready,
general secretary of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference. the
official organization of the American
Catholic hierarchy.
A layman who is an official of/one
of the largest Protestant religious
bodies in the country has made a
statement to members of the House
Ways and Means Committee in
which he asks that any proposal to
tdA VI III lllC III
come OF religious organizations
should be examined by Congress
with the utmost care. Religion, to
be free, must have voluntary sup
port, this lay leader points out.
Both Federal and State governments
have encouraged such support by lib
eral exemption from taxation.
Therefore he appeals to Congress to
carefully scrutinize any proposal to
limit the exemption from inheri-
tance taxes of bequests to religion,
education and charity.
The June issue of the Federal
Council Bulletin, official organ of
the Federal Council of Churches,
will carry an article discussing the
tax proposal. The article will say
that the issues raised by the tax
proposals are likely to be before the
churches for a considerable time to

Underlying this joint statement is
the following declaration: The

bilities open to Christians in the
period OF reconstruction in the ma

it essential that all this work of
Christian cooperation should be
greatly intensified and extended"
The purpose of the joint effort.
it is stated, is to unite informed and
