Bishop Leonard

The whole Christian community of
the United States has suffered a
erievOus loss in the death of Bishop
Adna Wright Leonard, killed with
Lieutenant General Frank M. An
dreWs, Brigadier General Charles H.
Barth Colonel Frank T. Miller. Major
Robert H. Humphrey and nine other
men in the crash of an Army plane
In Iceland. He was the administra-
tive head Of the Methodist Church in
the Washington area, but his leader
ship was felt throughout the entire
Nation, not merely in its Capital.
Born in Cincinnati in 1874 and
pledged to the ministry from his boy
hood, Bishop Leonard began his dis
tlngulShed career in the mission field
IN Puerto Rico in 1900 Later he was
pastor OF the American Methodist
Church in Rome He also served
several congregations in Ohio before
becoming minister of the First
Church in Seattle in 1910. Elected to
'''' R'E''hol ''IiN SF VI LIS utflofll-
nation in 1915. he was resident bishop
at San Francisco, Buffalo and Pitts
hurgh successfully. The decade of
his abors in the District of Columbia
demanded of him the full fruition of
MS training and experience, and he
met the challenge of the times with
courage and efficiency appreciated bv
the whole public His designation as
chairman of the General Commission
on Army and Navy Chaplains was a
gesture of grateful recognition of his
pre-eminence among available clergy
1t should be stipulated likewise
that Bishop Leonard was a construc-
tive influence in education and in
civic affairs. His views were charac-
terlSticallY American, and he was
brave in the expression of them at
moments when it perhaps would have
been easier to have practiced a dis
Greet timidity. He preached against
social faults and failingS without
apology even when he knew that bv
so doing he risked offending large
groups OF his contemporaries. 1t was
duty as he saw it to oppose reforms
intended by their sponsors to change
traditional American ways of life.
His interest in politics was keen. his
knowledge of industry and commerce
exceptional in a scholar, his enthusi-
aSm for cultural progress unlimited.
Thousands Of men and women not
affiliated with his own particular
branch Of Christianity esteemed him
for his gifts of intelligence, eloquence.
brotherliness and zeal.
To speak of his patriotism, one
must make use of brighter words
than those which commonly are
employed in reference to civilians.
Bishop Leonard went overseas at the
request OF his President and Com
mander in Chief. He was engaged in
business related to the winning of the
war. Thus it happened that he
reached the end of his earthly pill
Erimage among soldiers. He had
wished to die working. and his PRAYER
WAS granted. Surely. Of no other
great American idealist of his gen.

tance is to take place at Constitution

States Navy School of Music will

sing. The program selected by Ensign
James M. Thurmond, conductor, in
cludes Moussorgsky's Pictures at an
Exhibition" Griegs Thanksgiving,
six victory fanfares, excerpts from
the compositions of such modern
writer's as Cole Porter, Sigmund
Romberg and Irving Berlin, and other
popular classics"
Need for such a school became
apparent long before the start
of the present war. With a compile
ment of 81 students and IL teachers,
a beginning was made in 1885.
THE instructors are chosen
from the outstanding musicians in
the Navy, and many, besides being
artists on their instruments, are
graduates of accredited conserva-
tories and universities. Instruction
is offered on the levels of student
musician and student bandmaster.
The majority of the first classifica-
ton are recruits admitted direct from
civilian life, although it is possible
for non-rated men to enter the school
from general service. Candidates for
the student bandmaster course are
first-class petty officers. selected for
their qualifications of leadership and
musical ability. Upon completion Of

Of business as usual" provides the only
answer as to how we feel about it,
If the present concoctions of so-called

Appeal for Concessions
To Greenbelt Residents Resisted.

Appeal for Concessions
To GreenbeIt Residents Resisted.
To the Editor of The Star:
I wish to voice my Indignation at F. E,
Dixons letter appearing in The Star a
few days ago. He objects to rentals be-
ing raised on the tenants at Greenbelt
and asks why these residents can't be
allowed to get ahead during this war by
having their rents remain the same and
at the same time take in relatives to
share their Government houses with
them.
The general public. the taxpayers. OBJ
ject to having the residents of Greenbelt.
and any of their relatives whom thev
choose to take in with them. continue to
exploit the Government through paving
token rentals for excellent, well-kept-up
Government housing.
Personally, I know of groups Of people,
living in Government houses at Green
belt whose combined salaries are three
times the salary of hundreds of Junior
Army and Navy officers here in the Dis
trict getting $4,000 to $4,000 year, who
live in rundown, dingy, two-room. back
fats and pay as much again in rent as
the Greenbelt residents pay for their
well-kept Cove nment housing. The
Greenbelt resid nt.s enjoy 2l6 per cent
raise in salary several Government salary
earners living in one Greenbelt house
splitting the rent as many ways.
The Army or Navy oficer has received
absolutely no increase in salary and since
he is here on orders must remain here
even if he has to sleep on park bench
II he lives in Government quarters with
a spare room, he must pay the Govern
ment rent for the quarters but is not
permitted to rent the spare room under
any circumstances. If the Army or Navy
officer has a brother or son in the service,
that brother or son cannot share his
brothers or fathers quarters without
paying full rent to the Government
no splitting of rents between them. Why
shouldn't civilians living in Government
quarters be subject to exactly the same
rules?
If an Army lieutenant lives in a two
room Government house or a l0-room
Government house, he pays the rent of
his rank and can't complain. II that off,
GERS rank is changed from a second lieu
tenant to first lieutenant, for instance
then he continues to live in those same
quarters. but his rent automatically goes
up. Just try to find even one officer in
the armed services who gets an attractive
three bedroom house for &45 a month, as
Government workers at Greenbelt do.
1t is about time somebody besides the
men and women in uniform be called
upon to put out something for this war
effort and stop Grabbing" about 1t.
