Bequest to Cathedral Hinges
OnRecent Value of 1893 Dollar

Recent value Of the dollar In
comparison with its value in 1898
may be the determining factor as
to whether the Washington Ca
thedral is to share in the estate Of
Miss Janet Buchanan Grover.
Miss Grover. who was "a, was 4
daughter of the late Gen. Cuvier
Grover. She died in May, 1916. in
Boston. A petition for probate Of
her willie was fled in November,
1946, In District Court. Her estate
is valued at more than $158,000.
Miss Grover provided in her will
that the Washington Cathedral and
the American Academy in Rome
each was to receive one-fifth OF the
residuary estate, unless the value Of
the dollar became reduced. through
imitation by the time Of her death,
to below its 80 cents" value. The
will, drawn in 1898, mentioned par
ticularlv the dollar value in rela-
ton to its gold backing.
Missions Would Benefit.
In the event of devaluation, the
will specified, the two-t1fths willed
to the two institutions was to go
instead to the Episcopal Church of
the United States for domestic and
foreign missions.
The American Security and Trust
Co.. executor, and other executors
have asked District Court to inter-
pref portions Of the will covering
those provisions. as well as certain
other sections of the will.
At the Treasury Department yes
terday it was said the value Of the
dollar as to gold has not changed
since 1934-that Is, the dollar will
purchase the same amount OF gold
as formerly.
There is a different picture, how
ever, when the dollar value Is con-
sidered from the standpoint of the
consumer price index. The Bureau
Of Labor Statistics said that, in
1916, the year Miss Grover died, the
retail purchasing power of the dol
lar amounted to only 761a cents Of
its purchasing power in 1888. The
purchasing power as Of July OF this
year amounts to only SO cents, as
compared with 1888.
Queens Bequest Questioned.
The petition for court instructions
asked clarification also on the be-
quest Of one-tenth Of the residuary
estate to Queen Elena of Italy for
charitable institutions in Rome. Her
right to receive the portion is ques-
toned, the petition said, because she
is no longer queen, but is in exile in
Egypt.
Also questioned is just what Miss
Grover had in mind in bequeathing
one-tenth of the residue to be given
to a graduating West Point cadet
a year after her death-that is,
whether it meant a member of the

National Adequate Wiring Bureau
Pictured is a model kitchen,
very pleasing to the eye-but
what really makes its perfection
possible can't be seen. It has hid
den charms - electrical wiring
that meets all standards of
adequacy, insuring the maximum
in efficient and economical op-
Grafton of lights and appliances.
Whether you plan to build or
modernize-no matter how mod
est the scale-your choice of wir-
ing is of utmost importance.
Adequate wiring costs little more
than ordinary wiring, and in the
end yields substantial savings.
Costly Changes Averted
For instance, certain heavy
duty appliances, such as the cleo
trio range, dishwasher-food waste
disposer and home freezer, re-
quire individual circuits. These
circuits should be added at the
same time that other kitchen
wiring is being done, even though
you do not plan to buy ali of
these appliances Immediately.
Thus, no costly ripping open Of

United Nations Now In Dire
Predicament Is Hope OF World

While the United Nations can not keep the peace
of the world guarantee it, the international organ
ization serves useful purpose it to US, in
bringing the delegates of the nations together to dis
cuss the issues that confront the world.
At present the United Nations is in one of the
most difficult postions-a discussion and decision
on the Berlin crisis. The Western Powers have pre-
sented their and have accused Russia of threat
ening the peace of the world. The entire world is
watching the United Nations, now as never before,
because OF the issues involved in the Berlin crisis.
Can nation tell the United Nations of the world
what and how to do things? Can this one nation
force the other nations to bow to it's whims and it's
demands?
No clearly knows what Joe Stain and his
cohorts In the kremn have in their minds. The
United States delegate to the United Nations Warren
r. Austin, has said that Russia is bent upon plan
OF wreck and Destroy" Perhaps that is the case
though hope that there no nation on earth with
the thought of another great war in the minds of
its leaders,
The United Nations, if it weathers and decides
the Berlin issue in manner which the world will
accept and which will not in any way give Russia
cause to feel that she alone can control the world
conceivably could become force that would in the
future insure peace earth and goodwill to all men,
The United Nations is process which may grad
uay bring about parliament of the world or some
thing akin thereto.
The intransient attitude adopted by Soviet Rus
sia may develop into the withdrawal of the Commun-
lst group OF states but the possibility still exists that
this may not happen.
Meanwhile the nations of the world will continue
to send their top diplomats to the meeting of the
United Nations where they will debate issues in
much the same fashion that legislators debate laws
1t may be that out of all of this debate there will
evolve plan of world cooperation among nations and
peoples which has never before been known.

NARROW
BY JAMES NARROW

Washington, Oct. 13-(AP)-
Do you think the people ought
to vote in a national referen-
dunn - on big questions?
For example: Suppose we had
reached point where there was
widespread serious thought of
joining a world government.
Instead of Congress voting
right away, all the people would
vote yes or no. It wouldn't mean
if they voted yes" that we'd
join.
1t would only be means of
letting Congress. before it made
up its mino5 know what the peo-
pie wanted. Then Congress
could be guided by that.
The idea of a national referen-
dunn on big problems affecting
the people is offered this week
in book called "a Little Demo-
cracy is a Dangerous Thing"
It's by Charles w. Ferguson,
senior editor of the Readers
Digest. He spent several years
putting te idea in shape. The
book is published by the Associ-
alton Press, New York.
Ferguson says:
Under our present republican
form OF government, whatever
may be said for it when it is
compared with dictatorial GOV
ernment, there exists no effec-
tive way of letting the voice of
tthe people be heard.
Opinion must be registered
indirectly, obliquely, through lay
ers of resistance. Republican
ism offers plenty of opportunity
for making noise, but is not wir-
ed for sound.
"The result Is that members
of both the administrative and
legislative branches of the gov
ernment must conduct their af-
fairs in a state of uncertainty
if not ignorance about what the
mass Of the electorate thinks"
' Ferguson takes note of two re-
medies that have been set up to
let Congress know what the pub
lie thinks:
l. The lobby. He hasn't much
use for this as a means of ex-
pressing lublic opinion because
too often, he says, lobby is a
selfish pressure group trying to
get congress to do something
for that one groups benefit.

No Promising Basis Is Found For
Compromise Between U. S.-Prssia

y prepared for land fighting.
If every nation reduced armam-
ents by one-third the Soviet
Union would still possess its dis
aproportionate strength and be
in position, then as now, to run
roughshod over q helpless
Europe.
The Russians assert that they
want peace. This is tempered,
however, by urgent appeals to
the Red army to be ready to
protect the rights of the COM
munists against imperialistic a.
ggresslon. There is great en-
phasis upon the use of power
and the protection that can only
be assured by the armed forces
OF the Soviet Union. What the
Russians really mean is that
they want peace if they can get
what they want in peace.
Imperialism, which is another
propaganda term of the Rus
SLAMS. does not include pressure
against a country, by the Com
munists, in the interests of the
Soviet Union. 1t only applies
to activity Of capitalstic coun-
tries that interfere1 with the ex-
pansion of ComIunism. This is
denounced as capitalistic imper-
ialism and an infringement upon
the right of other nations. SINH
lar action, by the Russians, is
for the good of the neighboring
people, in the Soviet view, and
therefore commendable.
We have given the Russian
viewpoint because it is impor-
tant to understand the impossi-
bility of any compromise with
nation holding such views.
sian action is right because it is
it for the people" the same act
ion by other nations is wrong
because it is against the peo-
ple.' The Communists think
they are the only ones who know
what is good for the people and
therefore, the only ones that are
always right.

National Referendum Would Need
Several Things To Be A Success
NARROW

2. The public opinion polls. He
thinks the polls have been "as-
. tonishingly" accurate but "at
best the polls are sampling, an
inspection carried on by experts,
survey of views expressed on
dem and in response to calcu-
lated questions"
Ferguson sees that a critic of
his idea may say this:
This is free country, a man
can write his Congressman or
send a letter to the editor, stand
up on a street corner or in
public meeting and say whatever
he pleases.
To which Ferguson says:
"The fact remains that with
all their privileges the people are
still crying in the wilderness;
there is no system of direct COM
munications between them and
the major decisions of their ma
tional government. x x x We are
content to let the people talk
and call the result democracy"
In short, Ferguson argues: we
have given over authority to
comparatively few people-such
as Congress and government
heads-to let them make for us
important decisions in which we
should have a direct voice.
A lot of Ferguson's thinking is
built on hope: hope that a refer
endum would work and that the
people would vote the right way,
for the good of themselves and
mankind.
But in order for the people to
vote intelligently on any issue
presented to them, they would,
as a minimum, need to be we'll
informed.
To be well-informed-instead
OF being content to act out of
prejudice or some other motive
THAT might color their thinking
they'd have to want to be
well-informed. They'd have to
look for information.
But would the majority of the
people-with their own daily job
of working and living-be as
well-informed as the congress
they've elected to look out for
their interests?
Congress is supposed to spend
its time being informed before
it makes a decision. And it has
a better chance of getting infor-
nation than the people as a
whole.

The Soviet Union insists that
1t wants atomic control, disarma
ment, democracy and non-inter-
ference with the rights of other
nations. In addition the Rus
SLAMS declare they want peace
and stand against imperialism.
II words mean the same thing
in Russia as they do in the
United States there would seem
to be an excellent chance of
reaching an agreement with the
Soviet Union. The past expert
ence Of the United States indi-
Gates that there is no reason to
believe that they do or to sus-
pect that Soviet pronouncements
are more than a procedure in
propaganda.
For example when the Rus
SLAMS say they are willing to con- !
fer on subject the extent of
their willingness has been an ex-
it wants atomic control, disarma-
pectation that other nations will
yield to Russia. When a matter
comes up in the United Nations
and the decision is contrary to
Russian wishes, the Soviet puts
In a veto regardless of how near
unanimous the other nations
stand in opposition.
On the subject of atomic con-
troll the Russians are for it, thew
say, but when the United States
insists upon an international in
spection system, to guarantee
that the control is effective, the
Russians suggest that the bomb
be outlawed and existing stocks
destroyed before controls are
considerd.
Recently the russians
brought forth disarmament
proposal, that every nation re-
duce its armament by one-third.
This sounds fair and would be
fair if existing ornaments were
equal. The Russians, however,
have the largest army in the
world and they are thorough.

However, we are glad to put up with the slight

There have been some reports of motorists not
cooperating entirely with the workmen and hindering
them somewhat in getting their job completed.
We feel that all people in Roanoke Rapids should
help the worken by needing their signals and doing
as directed
1t won't be long until the job is completed. Per-
