Bea|I Defers Inspection
OF Proposed Parkway

Chairman Beall postponed
House District Subcommittee In
spection tour of the proposed
Arizona avenue parkway route
scheduled for today.
Mr.. Beall, Republican. of Mary
land said not enough members of
his group we're able to take the tour
to make it worth while. A trip will
be scheduled next week, he told
reporters.
The controversial proposal calls
for a two-lane highway from Canal
road NV. through Glover Archbold
Park to Tenley Circle to relieve
trafic in the area. Mr.. Bealrs sub
committee has approved a bilI that
would authorize the Commissioners
to plan the roadway and pay for 1t
with District highway funds.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission is leading a
fight, however, to place the route
under Federal control. Citizens
groups and donors Of the Glover
Archbold Park have opposed the
parkway proposal.

Plans for Two Areas

Plans Of the National Capital

Agency for housing in the Barry
Farms and Marshall Heights areas
are under attack both by a public

chitect.
John Ihlder, executive officer of

fail to provide properly for low-in-
come groups now In the congested
downtown area, who want to find
future homes in Barry Farms and
Marshall Heights. +
Mr.. Ihlder spoke before a lunch

Mr.. Ihlder said there are some
46O families altogether in Marshall

he fears, under redevelopment,
walkup tenements will result. r.;
Mr.. Ihdler agreed with Gen.

declared.

also attacked the plans at the
luncheon.

Mr.. Justement said the only thing
the planners are doing is creating
new housing In urban redevelop-
ment, he said, proper city planning,
such as new road, highway or
bridge, must be considered.
Gen. Grant explained the plan is
to provide first for the people now
living in Barry Farms and Marshall
Heights. The land agency, he de-
clared, should have funds ready to
start acquisition of property as soon
as the project plan is approved.

New Buildingfor
Criminal Insane
Dangerous Cases Put
In Old Howard HoII,
Congress Is Told

The most dangerous mental pa
tients at st. Elisabeths Hospital are
kept in an inadequate building
which should be replaced by . new
4oo-bed unit, Congress was told
yesterday.
Supt. Winfred overholser made
the recommendation in his annual
report on hospital conditions, for
warded to Congress by Federal Sc
curity Administrator Oscar, r.
Ewing.
The report said dangerously
aroused patients, including those un-
der criminal charges, are kept IN
Howard Hall. This building, 1t ex-
planned, was erected more than 80
years ago, when the hospital was
only one-third its present size, and
when only far advanced mental
eases were transferred from their
Jail cells to st. Elizabeths.
Patients Increase.
Since that time. reported DR..
Overholser. the number of patients
assigned to the maximum security"
building has greatly increased.
During the past 10 or more
years." he pointed out, there has
been . tendency to look upon Ger
tain crimes and misdemeanors as
an expression OF disease requiring
treatment rather than punishment
or isolation.
due to this trend. the hospital
Is admitting more and more acute
and recoverable patients sent here
through various courts. Howard
Hall Is inadequate to meet the above
demands; 1t lacks adequate hydro
therapeutic, recreational, occupa-
tional and various other facilities"
To handle the increasing number
of sex criminals and other cases
referred by the courts, he said, q
modern 4o0-bed security building ID
an urgent" need.
Other Construction Needs.
Other construction needs-in ad-
dition to the new infirmary and
combined laundry warehouse ma
chine shop, the construction Of
which Congress already has ap-
proved-were listed as follows:
Cafeterias for two buildings com.
pleted during the early war years,
where patients must now travel q
long distance through tunnels to
eat in several shifts In cafeterias Of
other buildings.
A new 300-bed building for recep-
ton Of male Negro patients, to re-
place q building erected In 1856.
Replacement Of three buildings
for colored women. The present
structures were described in the
report as "a fire hazard, poorly
planned and difncult to maintain
hygienically." IA VA
Asks Voluntary Admissions.
DR.. Overholser's report renewed
the superintendent's stand in favor
of legislation permitting voluntary
admissions to st. Elizabeths, point
ing out such legislation was pro-
vided in all but IA States.
"A person who recognizes that he
Is mentally Ill and In need Of hos
pital treatment" the report said,
cannot enter st. Elizabeths Hospi-
tai unless after painful and COM
plicated series of legal procedures
ne Is declared insane and deprived
of his civil rights"
DR.. Overholser expressed hope for
complete revision of existing COM
mitment procedures for the insane
but said q voluntary admission law
would, pending such a revision, go
far to improve the lot of the men
tally Ill of the District"

World Council

To justify the ways of God to
man was John Milton's expressed
purpose for writing his monolithic
epic poem of the Reformation.
Paradise Lost"
ACCIDENTALLY Milton succeeded
in providing that justification for
his own and an unknowable num-
Der Of future generations of Christ
ians But since the 10Th century
days of Milton human society has
turned an increasingly cold cheek
to the spiritual values preached by
every great Christian since Paul.
Particularly since the outset of
the Goth century mans attention
has been claimed more and more
by the dramatic power Of mate
rialiSm which has been brought
into full play as a result of this
chronological economy with its as
sembly lines. power politics and
repetitive wars T.
Thus, the problem now is not so
much how to justify Gods ways to
man as it is how to justify mans
society in the eyes of God. And if,
as many churchmen believe, no such
justification is possible, then how to
work a reasonable and beneficial
change in the society which men
have wrought.
1t is that problem which the
World Council of Churches, com
posed of l48 Protestant and Ortho-
dox churches from 40 nations. will
endeavor to meet squarely at its
first world assembly in Amsterdam
August % to September 4.

leaders laymen and clergymen
alike - are determined. among
other things, ito assess the
strengths and weaknesses Of pres
ent-day Christendom" and ITO de-
fine a basis of common principle
upon which Christians can CO.
operate for world order"
Under the conference theme,
MANS Disorder and Gods De-
sign" the delegates will attack
such questions as: How to infuse
more spirituality into our mechan-
lied society without advocating the
destruction of all mechanization?
What action can the church take
among its members to aid in es-
Enlistment of world order and
what is the church's answer to the
amoral power politics of the pres
ent day? Il,
