Mrs. Doyle Asks Light
On Reds for Students

Stressing the necessity Of teach
ing the meaning Of communism in
the public schools, Mrs. Henry Graf
tan Doyle. president of the Board OF
Education, said yesterday that ''it
must be known to be conquered"
Mrs. Doyle spoke over Station
WMAL in a National Education
Week broadcast. She said she was
in full accord with Gen. Eisenhower,
who said in his inaugural address as
president of Columbia University
that the working of communism
should be taught in schools because
"to fight communism, you must
know what it is"
Mrs. Doyle named the classroom
teacher as the most important sin
gle factor in education and called on
Washington residents to help the
School Board get pay increases and
sick leave for teachers from the next
Congress.
In another talk last night, John e
Eklund, president of the Amer
ican Federation Of Teachers (AFL)
accused the District of selling the
kids short" in a reduction of the
present budget. Money for educa-
ton never should be reduced he
said.
Speaking at a meeting of District
teachers at the Meridian Hill Hotel
he also deplored the granting o1
wage raises for Federal employees te
the exclusion of District employees.

The man was tentatively identi-

There were no marks of violence

of accommodations up to date to
aid in housing the hotel overflow.
Mr.. Truman's personal popularity
as demonstrated by his election
victory and the crowds who well
coined him home-is expected to
inspire demands for a celebration
surprising anything this city has
seen for years.
For the first time in years Wash
ington has a place large enough for
a suitable inaugural ball-the Ma
tional Guard Armory.
Ball Urged Again.
The ball, an historic feature of
inauguration ceremonies, was CROP
ped during the Roosevelt admins
tration, but it is being urged this
time for several reasons.
First, with the construction of the
Armory, there is now place for it.
Second, the prolonged White
House repairs have put a decided
crimp in Washington's social season.
None of the traditional formal en-
tertaining at the White House can
be done this fall and winter.
Third, the limited facilities of Blair
House will make it impossible to
entertain all those who want to
share in the Presidents great. day
5-Day Event In 1888.
This is the first time since before
the drab war years that the people
Of the Nation, led by their Capital
neighbors, have had a chance to
celebrate an Inauguration in tradi-
tional style.
In 1888, for instance, the celebra-
tion lasted five days. There was a
promenade concert at the Pan
American Union, exhibits at military
installations, parade, a concert at
Constitutional Hall, an outdoor fes-
tival with fireworks, an inaugural
ball and special church services.
At that time, as in subsequent in
augural events, Washington groups
and businessmen played an impor-
tant part. Washington businessmen
subscribed to a 100000 inaugural
guarantee fund. The Community
Chest profited from the net pro-
ceeds of the various events. The
Board of Trade and other groups
assisted with publicizing the events,
housing the crowds, selling tickets
and planning the huge celebrations.
Simplicity Keynote During War.
In 1887 community leaders were
called together as soon as chair
man was named. The Commission
ers were put in charge of all the
subcommittee, the Board of Trade
opened housing bureau and again
Washington businessmen contrib
uted generously toward the in
augural fund.
In 1941 President Roosevelt
stressed desire for simplicity in
view of the European War. Inaugu-
ration headquarters were set up at
the District Building and Washing
ton leaders made all the arrange
ments. In 1945, with the war on,
simplicity was strictly observed.

side of the District. Chief Justice
Marshall sympathized with the Dis
trict and said the situation was
"extraordinary" But he suggested
that the remedy lay in Legislative,
not in judicial action"
Solicitor General Perlman urged
that "the discrimination exist
ing against the District) since
the Constitution was adopted be
removed" He declared the District
often has been considered as a
State for purposes such as taxation
treaties and regulation of interstate
commerce, and should be in this
matter.
In reply to a query by Associate
Justice Black, who was presiding in
the absence Of Chief Justice Vinson,
Mr.. Perlman said a Constitutional
amendment would be necessary to
give the District Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress. He added,
however, that Congress could give
District citizens the right to vote
and make a State out of the Dis
trict."
Mr.. Allen commented later to the
court that MIR. Perlman must have
had his tongue in his cheek when he
said Congress could make q State
out of the District"
David G. Bress, an attorney for
the insurance company, urged the
Supreme Court to review and re-
examine" the decision of Chief
Justice Marshall. He contended,
however, that the Marshall opin-
ion did not mean the Constitution
prevented Congress from acting as
it did in 1910 to give District citizens
and corporations the same legal
rights that citizens of States-and
aliens-have in Federal courts
everywhere.
The Marshall ruling, he explained,
was based on the First judiciary
Act of 1889 and not on the Consti-
tuition itself. It did not mean that
the only Legislative. remedy was
o constitutional amendment, he said.

Bible in Modern Life
Discussed at Howard
BY the Associated Press

The relevance of the Bible to
present-day living was stressed to-
day at the opening session of the
32d convocation of the Howard Uni
versity School of Religion.
DR.. Henry J. Cadbury, a profess
sor at the Harvard Divinity School
told the gathering it was the busi-
ness of Christians "to translate the
Bible, not merely into modern
words, but also into modern deeds.
He observed that the Christian
world had not always made this its
chief objective.
DR.. Cadbury said that in order to
understand the Bible, I'VE must put
ourselves back to the time of the
people who wrote it," to get their
point of view. since the Bible in
some respects, is a thoroughly
alien book"
He said efforts to understand the
background of the Bible may be
compared to the problem of trying
to understand other groups, nations
and races.
THE task of the Bible is to build
a bridge across the gulf of the CEN
turies by which the truth passes
from Palestine to our own time and
location" DR.. Halford E. Luccock
a professor at the Yale University
Divinity School, said.
THE Use of Audio-V Visual Aids in
Presenting the Bible" was the topic
to be presented this afternoon by
the Rev. c: Randolph Mengers,
minister of st. Columbas Episcopal
Church. The Rev. Samuel M.
Candy, director of religious activi-
ties, Virginia State College, was to
be leader of the discussion period.

Other main arguments presented
by Mr.. Bress, as well as, in many
instances, by Mr.. Perlman, were
That District citizens are entitled
to the full benefits of the Federal
court jurisdiction, because they were
citizens of States when the Con-
Stitution was adopted.
Limitation Challenged.
That Congress has "plenary"
power to legislate for the benefit Of
District citizens and is not bound
by the city limits of Washington.
That the 1910 law was a "neces-
sary and proper" exercise of con-
gressional authority over the District

is almost as old as the !Constitu-
ton itself.

Both men were off duty, and they

Figurines Of Redskins,
Mickey Mouse 10 Aid
PRESBYTERIAN Drive

Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, the
Mats and the Redskins are Joining
in the push to send the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church build
ing fund drive over the top.
The baseball and football players
probably are not aware of their
aid in the cause, and neither Dom
aid Duck nor Mickey Mouse has
been heard on the subject. Still, in
the form of brilliantly colored
figurines, they are taking their
place in the campaign.
The f1gurines are the work of
Mrs. Elizabeth Betty" Brooks, a
member of the New York Avenue
Church. The idea of making and
selling the small figures for the
church drive came to her during
the loyalty meetings at the church
last month.
Dental Hygienist.
AS dental hygienist, Mrs. Brooks
has always been interested In max
ing plaster models. More than a
year ago she saw q Mickey Mouse
and Donald Duck set in the Office
of DR.. Walter Lawson and of DR..
Leigh Fairbank. She became inter-
ested, and last Christmas made a
few as Christmas presents. Now
the hobby will be turned to even
more practical use, with the
fgurines going on sale tomorrow in
the store of Charles G. Stott at
1910 New York avenue NV. Pro-
ceeds from the sale, to be held until
January /, all go to the church.
The process of making figurines
Is involved. Mrs. Brooks mixes the
artificial stone in a small bowl. She
then pours the mixture into a rub
ber mould, lets it harden, and
soaps the rubber mould until. it can
be peeled off the stone. The stone
Is then allowed to dry for "a hours.
The next step is to fill in any air
bubbles in the stone, after which
the bottoms are cut even so the
figures can stand. Then Mrs. Brooks
paints them. She believes in some
cases it might be advisable to sell
them unpainted so children can do
their own coloring.
100 Varieties.
After the f1gurines are painted,
Mrs. Brooks varnishes them so the
paint will stay on.
Mrs. Brooks has numerous sets
and individual f1gurines in the 100
moulds. The Mickey Mouse set in
cludes Mickey, Minnie Mouse, Plu-
to and little mouse. Donald Duck
has his three bad nephews with
him, each with a different cap A
manger set consisting of IA pieces
includes the Madonna, the child, a
shepherd, the wise men and others.
There is a set of dolls from Hol-
land, Spain, Hawaii, Scandinavia
and China. The baseball and foot
ball teams also include umpires, and
a farm set has animals as well as
the farmer, his wife and his chill
dren.
Individual figurines are made OF
Uncle Sam, Santa Claus and ami
mails. There are busts of Lincoln
and of Washington.
Project Gets Backing.
Mrs. Brooks said DR.. F. B. Bost-
wick has encouraged the project
and the G. P. Kiilian Co. has given
free the paper boxes in which the
flgurines come.
She said copyright provisions per-
mitting the use Of Donald Duck and
Mickey Mouse characters have been
arranged. ~
