Living Our Religion

NHAT we are determines what
w people think Of our religion,
not what we say about our religious
life. James tells US in Sundays les
son that faith without works is
dead. It Is that very truth that our
generation so much needs to get
hold upon.
We have many perplexing situa-
tions in our world. Racial differ
ences, differences regarding capital
and labor, and so forth and so on
How are these problems to be
solved? BY resolutions? We know
that many very pious resolutions
have been adopted concerning these
problems, but st.u the problem.
remain.
One Christian in any given com.
muniiy who applies the teaching
Of James to everyday life will
start a train Of events that will
add up to the solution OF any prob
lem, social. economic or what not
We must translate our beliefs into
action.

ing criminal conspiracy to indict
and convict an innocent man and
that they were guilty of riot and in

on piles in the prison courtyard and
then be allowed to go free.

with Worthy are Guy McNab, REM

Butter Prices Rising Again,

District citizens to the White House.
= Mrs. Sarah Newman, president,
said earlier, in protesting the recent
rise of u cents in the price OF milk:
There is absolutely no justifica-
ton for a price increase in milk,
either at the producer or the dis
tributor level. This increase can
mean only one thing, that people
will have to reduce still further their
milk consumption, and the very
health of the people is involved"
The committee also protested
what they stated was the refusal OF
the District Commissioners to grant
the group a permit to set up booth
at Fourteenth and F streets NV,
for the purpose OF collecting the
telegrams. The committee said the
Commissioners gave no reason for
the refusal. A committee spokes-
man said the kilograms will be coll

Results Of Long Inquiry
Into Fire Department
Are Not Made Public
By NewboId Moves, Jr.

The commissioners today re-
<ceived a report-more than 100
pages long-on the corporation
counsel's investigation of Capt.
Joseph w. Conroy's charge that
Chief Clement Murphy has
contributed nothing but de-
moralization" to the Fire De-
partment.
The city heads will not make the
report public at present. A spokes-
man said that whether the report
ever is made public depends on
the Wsy this thing develops from
here on"
A copy of the document, one OF
the most exhaustive ever prepared
by the municipal law department,
will be sent to Chief Murphy's law
yer, Martin F. O'Donoghue, as soon
as the Commissioners have had a
chance, to study the findings.
Chief Murphy and Mr. O'Donog-
hue then presumably will pe given
their first chance to answer the
charges
Another person who doubtless will
be heard from before the Commits
sioners make up their minds about
the long -simmering controversy is

special assistant corporation counsel
in charge of Investigations. Mr..
Maher will move into the District
Building Monday.
Charge Made Before House Unit.
Oliver Gasch, Milton D. Norman
and John j. Donnelly, jr., assistants
in the office of the corporation coun-
sci, prepared the report after inves-
tigating Capt. Conroy's charge,
made last June II before House
District subcommittee
Capt. Conroy, president of the
Firemen's Association, Local 36, was
summoned before the Commissioners
shortly after that hearing to detail
his charges and supply the names of
witnesses, who, he said, would bear
out his statements.
The city heads then turned this
material over to their legal experts
and asked them to investigate it.
They indicated they would prefer
charges against Chief Murphy if
the assertions were borne out by
evidence-or against Capt. Conroy
if they were not.
Although the corporation counsel's
procedure since then has been so
secret that even Commissioner John
Russell Young said yesterday he did
not know what was in the report.
hints as to its contents have been
leaking out for weeks.
Report Believed Highly Critical
The hints add up to these conclu-
Isions:
/. That the report is highly criti-
cal of Chief Murphy's administra-
ton, and in general supports Capt
Conroy's charge of decentralization.
2. That the report is based on an
admittedly one sided investigation
at which witnesses have been those
who presumably would support Capt.
