Arlington Ministers
Hear Talk by La Roe

Whether Americans are going to
be treated "as children of God
rather than as cogs in a gigantic
state machine may depend on
efforts of the clergy to make clear
to their congregations the issues
of the day, Wilbur La Roe, jr., chair
man of the Civic Affairs Committee
of the Washington Federation of
Churches, told a luncheon meeting
OF the Arlington tVa.) Ministers
Association yesterday.
The time has come" Mr.. La Roe
said, for the Christian forces Of
the world, Protestant and Catholic
alike, to join in insisting that inter-
national, national and local issues
be settled on the basis of Christian
principles"
The Washington attorney, who
has been cited by the federation
as the layman contributing most to
the moral and religious life of the
District, told his audience that
Protestant religious education is
dangerously inadequate.
If you don't wake up, Christian
ity may be engulfed by fast-moving
civilization, if not by forces which
regard democracy as weak and in
efficient" he said.
The meeting was held at the
Arlington YMCA, 1922 North Thir-
teenth street.

For year after year we awaited

that peace had arrived and the
boys could come home: when
beans and salami and Goldfish on
toast could promptly be shelved
for a succulent roast; when
sugar and shirts were again ''in
and autos no dream of
the sweet by-and-by. Well
victory came both in "E" and

front in battle array. In place Of
the plenty we visioned for years
we find a survival of blood,

Edmonston Must Rule

The Prince Georges County COM
missioners have ruled that the con-

ston, Md, over closing of Decatur
street. the towns main through
fare. is one for the town itself to
decide
Their decision was announced
after opposing sides from among
residents of the town had appeared
before them yesterday morning in
the County Courthouse in Upper
Marlboro.
Mayor Harold R. Manning re-
ported he saw no reason why con-
demnation proceedings could not
begin to permit the town to acquire
property to widen the road for
improving it,
Gibson L. Moore and Miss Pearl
Lee Boone. two of the towns resi-
dents who oppose the move, told
the commissioners they objected to
giving up any of their land.
Plans call for surfacing OF the
road with between $4,000 and $780,
600 furnished by the county, it was
pointed out. Town officials would
like also to widen it and the con-
troversy arose when it was found
that to do so would necessitate tax
ing approximately 10 feet of prop
erty on each side of the road. Other
sentiment developed over a pro-
posed cutting down OF several trees
to make way for the project.
In other action, the commissioners
granted permission to Leo F. Dono-
van to operate garage, sales and
service center on Kenilworth ave-
nue., near Tuxedo road, Bladens-
burg. and to Earl Pryor to operate
a gasoline station on the south side
of Tuxedo road, adjacent to the
west boundary of Tuxedo. Carnival
permits were issued to the Bladens-
burg Heights Fire Department for
June to 8 and Riverdale Fire De-
partment for June 10 to Is.
A request from Archbishop Cur
ley of Baltimore calling for tax ex-
emption on nearly two acres of
ground, an addition to the Mount
Carmel Cemetery, Upper Marlboro,
was granted by the county heads,
on grounds that it was owned by
St. Mary's Catholic Church, of Up
per Marlboro, and in accordance
with the State laws on exempting

Lane Waits O'Conor Reply
On Ending Vote Curbs
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, May 29.-William
Preston Lane, jr. of Hagerstown,
candidate for the Democratic guber-
material nomination, awaited today
a reply from Gov. O'Conor on a
suggestion that special legislative
session be called to provide for ad-
ditional registrations before the
June "a primary election.
In a letter to the Governor, Mr..
Lane said that immediate consid-
Grafton should be given to the situa-
tion under which many thousands
of our citizens, including veterans
of World War II, are being deprived
of an opportunity to participate in
the Democratic and Republican pri-
marieS.
Mr.. Lane pointed out that many
Marylanders in the armed services
cast absentee ballots in 194d to be-
come automatically registered, but
failed to state party preference
because they were voting in gen.
eral election.
UNLESS these veterans have since
affiliated with a political party, or
are given fair opportunity to afhli-
ate, they are barred from partici-
pating in the primary elections"
Mr.. Lane said.
I'm addition to this situation,
many thousands of citizens-some
say as many as $4,000 in Baltimore
City alone-are being removed from
the voting lists because of the op-
Grafton of section % (b) of article
33 of the annotated code, which
makes it the duty of the election
officials to cancel all registrations
of persons who have failed to vote
at least once within the five preced-
ing calendar years"
Although this act does not apply
to those in the armed forces, it does
affect many who have been absent
for reasons connected with the pros
ecution of the war, Mr.. Lane said.
Il know that there are many prac-
tical difficulties to be overcome in
making changes in registration, or
IN providing for additional registra-
tions SO near the primary date, but
/ suggest you give consideration to
the advisability of calling special
session of the General Assembly to
provide for additional registration
before the primary. 1t should be
possible to pass the legislation in
one day."

for some of the Baldwin supporters.

in his own statement, says his
physician advises him against the

Invasion Anniversary
Marked by Normandy
BY the Associated Press

TREVIERS, France, June 6.-The
people of Normandy paid tribute
today to memorable morning two
years ago when Allied troops, in the
greatest invasion in history, surged
over their beaches to begin the long
bloody attack against Hitler's For
tress Europe
Ihe cOmmemoratiOn was held for
the most part without fanfare or
revelry, but with dignity befitting
an occasion when men fought and
died to liberate other men from the
yoke Of oppression.
In C. Mere Eglise there was an
all-day observance honoring the
men of the 82nd Airborne Division
which floated out of the sky two
years ago to begin the invasion. In
Bayeux and Caen there were ami
versary celebrations honoring the
British and Canadian troops who
fought there
But in most of the little villages
and along most of the dusty roads
bordered by hedge-roWs the people
of Normandy regarded the day qui-
city. They prayed for the men who
came to liberate them and who
stayed behind under the white cross
or Star o. David in one of Nor
mandy'S nine American military
cemeteries.
VIELSALM, Belgium, June up.
Huge fires were lighted all over
Belgium during the night to COM
memorate the landing two years age
of Allied troops on the Normandy
beaches and the action of Belgian
underground forces.
In Vielsalm the fire was lighted on
the same spot where the Maquis as
