Washington ministers believe they
have found a way to stop radio
listeners from tuning religious pro-
grams out and soap operas in.
The answer is simple-beat the
radio secular programs at their own
game.
This means the day Of radio
preaching by ministers unframed in
hroadcasting techniques is on the
way out. 1t means further that
radio preaching as the only means
OF getting the message of religion
across is also nearing it's end. Some
thing more is needed to catch and
hold the interest of the radio
listener.
That something, according to Prof.
w. Fletcher Tarr, department head
OF speech and radio at Washington
Missionary College, Takoma Park,
Md, Is the broadcasting of dramatic
stories having religious theme.
Adapt Drama to Religion.
"Sixty-five per cent of the radio
listeners in the United States prefer
dramatic broadcasts to any other
kind of program" Prof. Tarr said
We hope to utilize drama adapted
TO religion to reach the people"
That is the goal. But the means
to the end must be obtained by
training those most interested in
bringing religion into peoples lives
Ministers, naturally, are those most
concerned. To do the job well they
must be soundly trained in all
phases of radio broadcasting. Here
is where Prof. Tarr and forward
looking officials of the Seventn-day
Adventist college come in through
holding what is probably the only
class OF its kind in the country.
1t Is class composed almost en-
tirely of future ministers. The aim
according to Prof. Tarr, who started
the department of speech and radio
at the college in September, l945,
is Ito raise the standard of religious
radio" by giving the future pastors
a well rounded training in the field.
Speech. Script Planning.
Basic voice training for radio
speaking is essential" he said. THAT
done, we then teach sermon con-
strtuction, the fundamentals of
script writing, microphone tech
niques and program planning. For
use in dramatic broadcsats, we teach
the elements Of production and di-
rection, how to organize a small
church group for a show, how to
cast it and how to choose suitable
music for it."
Techniques involved in producing
other types of radio programs such
as round-table discussion, forum
and question and answer broad
casts also are taught.
II think the training is wonderful
for ministerial work" said George
Rentor of New York City, former
boxer. who decided to
enter the ministry while in the
Army. 1T is very important prep
aration for those of us who may try
to use the radio in other ways than
for sermons"
III Shows Scheduled.
Eleven dramatic shows are sched-
uled for production by the class this
semester. The program, Calling
All YOUTH" is heard at 9:45 am.
Sundays over Station WGAY.
Four of the six productions so
far heard have been written by
of the class. Each play, !

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. II R.-
The Court of Appeals for the fourth
circuit has affirmed g. Baltimore
district court judgment of $7,751 in
favor of the United States against
Parkbelt Homes, Inc.
The sum represented taxes which
the housing project contended were
assessed against 1t on the basis Of
an unreasonable valuation Of its
property.
The Appeals Court opinion
pointed out that Parkbelt had
leased slightly more than three
acres from a 3,0O0-acre, Govern
ment-owned tract acquired to de-
velop the Greenbelt low rent hous-
ing project in Maryland.
Under the terms of the lease, the

Small Loan Firms Council
Protests Code 'UItimaium'

Attorney William r. Lichtenberg,
representing most of Washington's
loan companies, has protested to
the Commissioners against an "ulti-
matum" that he present in writing
by today his objections to proposed
changes in the small loan code.
His protest was handed to the
Commissioners late yesterday. In
the letter, MI. Lichtenberg denied
that he was attempting to delay
enactment of the new regulations.
IF any delay has been caused"
Mr.. Lichtenberg said, "it has not
been caused by me but by those
who proclaim most loudly that they
are in great haste to adopt these
regulations"
He referred to Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Chester H. Gray and
Martin F. O'Donoghue, chairman of
the District Bar Associations small
loan committee. Mr.. Gray set the
deadline Tuesday at a conference
with Mr.. Lichtenberg.
Mr.. Lichtenberg said he is willing
to submit his views on the new
regulations, designed to prevent
loan shark" practices, at a public
hearing before the Commissioners.

plays were Appointment with
God" by Irving A. Dow, jr.; He
Lost q Leg and Found a Life" by
William w. Pohle: STORY of David
Jasperson," by Arnold Hill, and
Dick and the Praying Doctor" by
Richard Fearing. Co-eds from the
college usually take the roles of
women in the plays.
Many of the stories are based on
true life experiences. Appoint
ment with God" for instance, was
based on an incident in the life of
Army Capt. Kermit Dow, brother of
Script Writer Irving Dow. 1t voices
the conviction that Capt. Dow,
blown from his observation tower
while on duty in Africa during the
war to a narrow ledge IA feet below,
was saved from falling hundreds of
feet beyond the ledge by the prayers
OF his mother.
Outstanding Talent.
Several outstanding performers
have been developed by the class.
Richard Fearing has shown marked
ability as an announcer, Irving Dow,
as an actor, and Robert Frank and
Darwin Kelsey, as singers.
Ministerial students taking the
course come from many back
grounds and parts of the country.
i think ministers, even those not
particularly interested in radio,
should have course like this as
they will have to deal with radio,
and later television, in their minis
try" Edward F.. Reifsnyder of Read
ing, Pa, said. Mr.. Reifsnyder is
putting his training into practice
now by conducting an evangelistic
campaign at Annapolis through
raolo discussion programs.
Another student, Forrest Belknar
OF Santa Cruz, Calf, plans to apply
his training to missionary work in
Japan. A former CT who served in
Japan in 1944-45, Mr.. Belknap ex-
poets to return there after COM
pleting his ministerial course.
Tarr Sums up Aims.
Professor Tarr, who has combined
radio work and education interests
during his years of teaching both
in South Africa and the United
States, summed up the aim of the
course.
Il am trying to raise the standard
OF religious radio. I believe the av-
erage person does not listen to the
ordinary sermon now being broad
cast. 1 am trying through expert
mentation to induce Mr.. Average
Radio Listener to keep tuned in on
religious radio programs"

In Che|tenham School Counties Approved
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 17.-Another
in a long line of sharply critical
reports about conditions at the Chel-
tenham School for Boys is in the
records today.
The latest was given to the Balti-
more Criminal Court yesterday by
the September grand jury.
| 1t said it was shocked" at condi-
tions its investigating committee
found at the States reformatory for
Negro boys in Prince Georges
County.
The jury said it found conditions
so bad it requested Col. william H.
Tripplett, physician with extensive
experience in hygiene and santa
ton, to accompany the jurors on a
second visit to the institution.
Complaints Listed.
The report stated:
l. The buildings at Cheltenham
are dilapidated and rundown and
many staff members appear to be
incompetent.
2. Dietary service is in adequate
and food actually served is differ
ent from menus submitted by the
reformatory.
3. The inflrmary and kitchen
were unclean and staff members
were served different food from that
given inmates.
4. Sanitary facilities in the milk
paSteurization plant were not prop
erly looked after.
S. Either the school Is not given
enough money to operate properly,
or the sums appropriated are not
spent wisely.
The report added that DR.. Preston
Sharp, director of the division of
training schools of the State De-
partment of Welfare, and DR.. Will
liam E. Henry, chairman of the
Cheltenham board of managers,
admitted the situations disclosed
and deplored them"
Solution Being Sought.
1t said the Juvenile Institution
Committee (of the grand jury and
the entire jury believe that DR..
Sharp and the board of managers
are earnestly trying to find a real
solution of the needs of the school,"
Attached to the report was an
other submitted to the jurors by Col
Triplett. 1t said:
MY report with respect to con-
ditions found must be disheartening
because or the laxity; or, I should
say, absence of any visible effort
to follow even the simplest and
well-known principles.
This institution enjoys the label
of being a School, and I point out
that a school connotes education,
and to me health is a primary OBJ
jective of modern education"
He said there was "a crying need
for an entirely new kitchen and
mess hall facilities" and termed the
present kitchen filthy beyond pos
sible comprehension by one who
has not actually seen it."

remaining seats would be appor-
toned on the basis of population
However, it would not take effec,
for another six years and would be
dependent upon passage of ref
erendum to amend the constitution
Reverses Earlier Vote.
The action was a reversal of q
vote taken by the Legislative Coun-
Gil on the day before.
Wednesday majority Of the
Council members approved bill to
freeze the present House member
ship. The reapportionment bill was
committed Wednesday to the Ju-
dietary Committee, but the group
voted yesterday to reconsider it.
If passed by the Legislature, the
new apportionment would be based
on the 1850 census tables. The first
Legislature based on it would be
elected in 1854 and meet in 1855.
However, the proposal must face
the opposition of the smaller coun-
ties in the General Assembly. Meas
ures aimed at increasing Baltimore
and large county representation
have been proposed periodically
but never have survived legisla-
tive vote. Observers conceded it
very little chance.
Prison, Parole Bills Approved.
The council also approved TO,
legislative action bills to overhaul
the States prison and parole system
One would set up a seven man
advisory board and full-time COM
missioner of correction to supervise
prisons.
Another provides for a three-man
board to grant paroles. At present
parole authority Is vested in the
Governor.
Other bills approved for consid-
Grafton by the Legislature would:
/. Boost the salary of the chief
judge Of the Court of Appeals to
SIC, 1000 and the salaries of associate
judges to $4,000.
2. Provide for hospital licensing
by the Boards Of Health and Mental
Hygiene.
3. Do away with delays in the dis
position of driving violations in
cases in which motorists have ap-
pealed a license revocation.
4. A number of bills for the care
Of injured and stray dogs.
After the meeting members Of the
Legislative Council inspected the
renovated StatehoIse and Court
