parish came into being as the result
of many Catholics coming to Wash
ington during the Civil War. Among
these new residents of the city were
a number of German families who
settled in the Benning and Bla-
densburg road sections of the Dis
trict. These Catholics felt their
national church, st. Mary's, on Fifth
street NV, was. too far from their
homes and petitioned for permis-
sion to build a place of worship
nearer to them. They called on the
Very Rev. Bernardine F. Wiget, Sd,
then rector of st. Aloysius' Church.
to help them in the undertaking.
Success of the establishment of
st. Joseph's Church made it the
second national church in the Dis
trlct, st. Mary's being the first. The
latter was established in 1845.
Ground was broken for the first
church on October 25, 1868, with
Cardinal Gibbons, then the Right
Rev. Bishop Gibbons, vicar apostolic
OF North Carolina, placing the cor
Inerstone. Plans for the church
called for duplication of the
famous Cologne Cathedral, with
Michael Stegmeier, a stonemason
who lived at l417 North Capitol
street, as architect. The venture
was not successful, for after the
solid foundation had been laid it was
found that funds were not available
to complete the building as orig

inally proposed. Instead, a tempo
rary frame structure was erected.
The present building was con-
structed during the years 1890 and
1891. For part of the 1905 the
parishioners worshipped in the brick
school building which had been built
through the efforts of the Rev
James F. Donahue, then assistant
pastor.
Second pastor of the church was
the Rev. John B. Kanzleiter, S. j.,
who had been chaplain in the Eng
lish Army for many years. He sue
ceeded Father Wiget, who left the
parish in the late fall of 1870
Father Kanzleiter, who later became
vicar general of the diocese of Wich-
lta, was transferred to post in the
Midwest after time. He was fol-
lowed by the Rev. John P. M
Schleuter, S. j., last of the Jesuit
Fathers to be pastor of the church.
Until this time the parish had op-
Grated under the joint jurisdiction OF
the Jesuit Fathers and the Wash
ington and Baltimore Diocese. The
Very Rev. Robert Fulton, S. j., feel
ing the arrangement did not work
out well because the church lacked
direct contact with st. Michael's
Church in Buffalo, N. Y, petitionec
Cardinal Gibbons to take ST. Jo-
seph's parish under archdiocesar
care. This was done, with the Rev
Valentine F. Schmitt, pastor of st
Michaels Church of Frostburg, Md.
becoming the new pastor in the
spring of 1886.
Father Schlnitt served as paste,
81 years, during which period tn.
present church was constructed
He was succeeded by the Rev
Patrick j. sO'Connell, who servee
until 1924.

trlotlSm. We of the United States
and Canada have a past of which
to be proud. Let us commemorate
it, after the fashion of the Hebrew
feastS.
The ties that bind men and
women together are strengthened by
these festivals of reunion. A large
part of the New Testament story
is given to the Passover that brought
the people, and Jesus and His band
to Jerusalem. 1t is good to re-
member the past, and to listen to
its message. Thus the years that
are gone sound in the life of today
At the heart of the Hebrew re-
unions and feastS was the thought
of Jehovah. For nobody can get
along happily or successfully in life
without an awareness of the living
God. When we depart from Him we
ultimately meet disaster.
| Whatever can be done in our time
to revive and intensity the God
sense of tho pople will be the most
direct serl of peace and world
welfare.
SUCH a purpose is more, potent
than the atomic bomb. Link life
with Gods will and all our terrors
will disappear. He wanted to be &C
cepted and remembered as our
Lord and Leader, as our Father and
ond Friend.

filling May May Escape

Washington, Aug. 6-CUP)-Some Senators were beginning to doubt today that ailing Rep Andrew J. May D.-Ky) ever will tell the Senate War Investigating Commit tee how he ailegedly became guardian angel' of the Carson munitions combine.
 Committee members who declined use of their names said the con- mittee was shying away from forc- ing the 7l-year-old Congressman to return from his Prestonsburg, Ky, home to take the witness chair.
 These committee members said they did not want to be in the position of appearing to endanger Mays health.
 Mays home town physician, Dr. John Archer, said his condition was critical. And without clearance from Mays attorneys and doctors, the committee was not expected to try to subpoena May to testify about his dealings with Dr. Henry and Murray Carson, who ran a letter. head into a 16-firm Midwest mu- nitlonS syndicate that received $78,- 00O,OOO in Government contracts.

SlIlce nlS lnltlaI elecIlOn ln 1855.
 Other states holding primary contests today were West Virginia Kansas, Arkansas and New Hamp- shire.
 Truman Named Stakes
 President Truman himself named the stakes in the 5th District con- test when he endorsed Axtell for the nomination and commented that If Slaughter is right in oppos- ing the Chief Executives legislative program, then I'm wrong"
 A Senate seat is also at stake in the Missouri primary. but Sen. Frank P. Briggs, successor to MT. Truman when he was elected vice. president, was conceded good chance for renomination against two opponents.
 Byrd's opponents in the Virginia primary is Martin A. Hutchinson, blunt, outspoken Richmond attor- ney who has the backing of the C.LO.-P.A.C. Virginia political ex- pert con s die e d Hutchinson's chances doubtful, but if he takes some Of the votes away from Byrd, It may be interpreted as an indi- cation that some Virginia Demo- crats are seeking to break away from the old machine.
 Principal feature of the Kansas primary is the battle over prohibi- tion repeal. Former Gov Harry H. Woodrlng, secretary of war under the late President Roosevelt, is seeking the Democratic guberna- torlal nomination on a pledge to repeal the states 65-year-old dry law. Two Of Woodring's three op- ponents are ardent prohibitionlsts but he is the favorite. Rep. Frank Carlson is favored to win the Re- publican nomination.
 Five Seek RenominatiOn
 Five incumbent Republican Con- gressmen were seeking renomina- ton in the primary. All were op- posed except Brett P. Scrivner of Kansas City, Kan. In the first dis trict Rep. Albert Cole faced the challenge of w. P. Lambertson whom he unseated two years ago.
 Sen. Harley Kilgore, Democrat, is expected to win renomination in the West Virginia primary. He has the backing of the CI.O.-P.A.C. Republican candidates are Claude R. Hill, Oak Hill, and Thomas Sweeney, a Naval veteran and Wheeling insurance executive.
 New Hampshire's primary is for gubernatorial nominations and oth- non-national contests Arkansas is holding a second Democratic pri- mary for a few congressional seats undecided at previous primary.

Whiskey Buyer Sues Seller For $2, 500

A bottle of whiskey which al- legedly contained dirt, debris and other foreign substances, is the basis of a S2,500 suit brought in Common Pleas Court today by Joseph Bergen has against Sam Wolk, doing business as the Imperial Pack age Store, and J. A. Dougher- tvs Sons, Incorporated, of Philadelphia.
 Bergenhas claims that Sept. 19, 1945, he purchased two bottles of Dougherty's Special Reserve whiskey at Wolk's Package Store, 2l Congress Avenue. While drinking from one of the bottles at his home, he says, he noticed a peculiar taste and bad odor. On exami- nation, says the complaint, he found the bottle to contain the foreign matter.
 The plaintiff asserts he sui fered a nervous shock and be- came violently ill.
 Wolk is charged with having sold the whiskey as being safe to drink, and the distillery is charged with failure to inspect the bottle carefully.

Firm Appeals From Penalty

The Park City Auto Finance Company Of 65 Bank Street eom- plained to the Board of Aldermen last night that it is being asked to pay penalty for tax bill careless ness on the city's part.
 Last May the company inquired at the office of Assessor Aldro Jenks as to the amount of its tax bill for property it owns at 634-5 Bank Street. Not until July was it dis covered that when the property was reasSessed it had been listed under a wrong name.
 On July 26 the finance company received a bill for taxes, and the same day mailed the city a check in payment. The Tax Collectors office thereupon notified the com- pany that the check wasn't in suf- flcient amount because it failed to include interest due for balated pay ment.
 That was little too much for the company, and Paul A Harold, president and treasurer, asked the Aldermen in his letter if they didn't agree that it was unfair to charge the firm for neglect on the citys part.
 Alderman James M Lynch, Dem ocratic majority leader, declared it wrong to make taxpayer pay in- terest because of an error by the city. On his motion the board voted to have a committee of three mem bers consult with the Corporation Counsel on the case and make 8 report at the next meeting.

State Plans Vets Bonus

Hartford, Aug. G. CUP)-The leg islative machinery to provide a s200 for every Connecticut service man already has been started, Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin disclosed to- day.
 He said that this preparation was being made in view of a peti- tion containing 4,300 names, pre- Sented to him with request that a special session of the General Assembly be held to ratify the pay ment.
 The governor said that the whole bonus question is one which requires detailed study and at the moment we have not completed our study
 A Bonus payment can be made only after an amendment to the state constitution. Following through the channels of regular sessions of the legislature, this approval could not be expected before 1851 unless a special session was held late this year. In that event final approval could be obtained in 1947 and the question could be placed before a special election late the same year.
