Monograph on Prayer Book to Be Issued

A long and scholarly interest in
the history of the Book Of Com
mon Prayer on the part Of two
Washington Episcopal churchmen
will be climaxed with the publi-
cation this week of monograph
entitled The American Book OF
Common Prayer-Its Origin and
Development"
The authors are the Very Rev.
John w. Suter. dean Of Washing
ton Cathedral. and the Rev.
George Julius Cleaveland. canon
librarian OF the Cathedral.
The 85-page book is being pub
lished, under auspices Of the
Cathedral, by the oxford Univer-
sity Press, and commentaries the
40Oth anniversary OF the Prayer
Book.
1t is appearing shortly before
the formal Cathedral observance
of the anniyersary-an observance
which will be marked also by the
dedication on June 5 Of new
Cathedral window portraying in
symbolic form the meaning and
history of the Prayer Book which
first took form In l549. The win
dow was given to the Cathedral
by Mrs. Charles Hamilton Maddox
in memory Of her parents. Cora
Hull Ramage and Sam''"' Young

stalled.
The monograph by Dean Suter
and Canon Cleaveland will con-
tain as a frontispiece full color
plate of the new window. and, as
well. pictures OF interesting edi-
tions of the Book Of Common
Prayer.
It's appearance marks some
thing of a record in publishing
for it was not until February
that the idea Of the monograph
was conceived and arrangements
made for it's publication. 1t was
in that month that Canon Cleave-
land compiled and sent to Dean
Suter a list Of all the old prayer
books in the cathedral. Out of
this grew the idea Of some sort of
publication commemorating the
4O0th anniversary Of the prayer
book.
At Dean Suffers direction,
Canon Cleaveland went to New
York and conferred with Leon
McCauley, manager of the Bible
department of the oxford Univer-
sity Press. Mr.. McCauley liked
the idea of something to COM
memorate the anniversary and it
was suggested that an appropriate
subject would be a short history
tracing the origin and Develop
ment of the American Book of
Common Prayer.
But" Mr.. McCauley added, "of
course, there wouldn't be time for
that"
Whats the latest date you
could handle the manuscript"
Canon Cleaveland inquired.
He was told the manuscripts
would have to be submitted by
March 20 If the book appeared
Evening star., 1949-05-22

in time for the June observance
Canon Cleaveland said the manu-
script would be submitted by that
date If he could be relieved from
some Of his duties.
Coming back to Washington,
he discussed the matter with Dean
Suter-and work on the mono
graph began. Working night and
day for a month. typing the draft
himself. Canon Cleaveland wrote
the first four chapters. supervised
the taking of photographs which
in the book. and compiled the
material for an appendix. Dean
Suter wrote the final chapter and,
as he explained in a foreword
he also wrote. performed some

the local recreation program.
But, until it abolished racial seq
regation from all it's programs
and facilities, the Interior De-
partment could not work out
agreements with the board for OPP
Grafton of golf courses. swimming
pools and tennis courts, he said.
The Recreation Board has voted
to operate the public golf courses
located on Federal park land
on a segregated basis If the
Interior Department would give 1t
the contract and take it away
from the present concessionaire,
S. G. Leoffler.
That Is not sufficient. the In
terror Department stated. The
Recreation Board must abolish all
segregation in order to operate the
golf courses, no matter what
policy it adopted for the courses
alone.
Agreements Worked Out.
The Recreation Board has
worked out agreements with the
Board of Education. Each year
the school board turns over to the
Recreation Board some 60 schools
and adjacent Fairgrounds for use
after school hours. The school
board has held that 1t can not
tell the Recreation Board what
racial policy to follow once it
has given permission for the
schools to be used.
The Federal park land under
the jurisdiction of the Interior
Department includes such major
areas as East Potomac Park, Rock
Creek Park, Anacostia. Langston
and Fort Dupont Parks. This
land is administered by National
Capital Parks, the Interiors local
Office.
The Recreation Department has
two types of park land under it's
control. Some Fairgrounds were
purchased outright for the Dis
trict years ago. Since the pas
sage of the Capper- -Cramton Act
in 1920, however, the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission has purchased land and
turned it over to the District for
Fairgrounds.
This land purchased by the
planning commission is the CEN
ter of another facet OF the CON-
troversy.
After the Interior Department
had committed itself firmly to
the Presidents civil rights pro-
gram, an Interior Department So
licitor held that the land is part
of the Federal park system and
that the planning commission
only designated its use in the Dis
trict. the opinion said. The Com
missioners and the Recreation
Board took the opposite stand.
Given to Justice Department.
The whole matter was shunted
to the Justic Department for de-
termination and there it has
rested for the past five months. 1t
probably will stay there as recent
indications are that the Justice
Department may not make a rul-
ing.
Assistant Interior Secretary
Davidson has stated that II public
recreation in the District is op-
Grated in terms of a nonsegregated
policy. the ownership of that land
would be unimportant. I'VE would
then be assured that. no matter
who owns them. they will provide
relaxation and enjoyment for all
groups in the CITY," he stated.

Recreation Segregation Policy Studied

fast early this month when Rep
resentative Klein. Democrat, OF
New York, entered the act.
Recreation Board members al
ways, up to this time. pointed to
a master plan of the District rec
reation system created by the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission as a reason it was
forced to keep segregation. Mr.,
Klein, in a series of letters to Maj
Gen. U. s. Grant. Ill, planning
commission chairman. questioned
the power of the planning COM
mission to set up such a master
plan with colored and white desig-
nations.
He sent the whole series of let
ters to President Truman.
The planning commission then
announced 1t was erasing the col
ored and white designations from
it's master plan. 1t admitted that
administration pressure" had
something to do with it.
Up to Recreation Board.
This left the Recreation Board
with full responsibility for deter
mining whether racial segregation
should continue or be abandoned,
Mr.. Wender stated.
Mr.. Wender then presented to
the board a lengthy report in
which he recommended that ra-
cially mixed meetings and other

ings and recreation buildings be
permitted.

Armed Fugitive Holds
Off Posse 80 Hours,
Is Captured by Friend
BY the Associoted Press

McHENRY, N. D.. May Ala
former State hospital inmate who
stood off law offifficers with q
shotgun and rife for 80 hours
was captured late today by an
unarmed friend who leaped
through a second-story window
from an adjoining shed roof.
Merle Hoggarth, about IS, who
had fired on a party of officers
who tried to take him in early
yesterday for a sanity heaying
was placed Immediately in a
straitjacket.
The delayed hearing was held
late this afternoon and Hoggarth
was Immediately recommitted to
the Stae hospital, M. P. Roberts
Foster County judge, said.
The man who first reached him
was Steve Fishet. Hoggaftn this
morning had accepted a drugged
soft drink and shortly before he
was captured had taken a couple
OF swallows from a second drink.
The drinks were passed in from
the shed roof.
Mr.. Fisher and four other men
climbed to the shed roof adjoin-
ing the second-story cafe room
where Hoggarth had holed UP.
Talking steadily, Mr.. Fisher
inched toward the window.
When he noticed that Hog
garth appeared to be doing of.
Mr.. Fisher leaped through the
window and grabbed the shotgun
he held in his lap. The ether
four followed and led the unre-
sisting Hoggarth down the stairs.
Earlier tear gas and persuasion
had failed to bulge Hoggarth and,
until shortly before his capture,
his drugged drinks appeared to
have no effect.
Hoggarth retreated to the apart
ment. on the second floor of a
cafe his wife operates, after scuf-
fling with officers who tried to take
him in for a sanity hearing. Sher-
If George Aljets and deputies sur
rounded the place. -Four shots
fired by Hoggarth missed them.
Even the fact the apartment has
no running water didn't bother
him too much. Last night he
staged a fire" to get a drink.
The fire department was called
when smoke began pouring from
the apartment.
A stream of water was directed
at a window. Hoggarth came to
the window, cupped his hands to
get a drink, and then tossed out
d bunch of smoking rags.
Tear gas made him cough and
sneeze, but apparently did not
weaken his determination to hold
out.

When asked what he thought
about the issuance of joint
statement of policy by the Com

Board. Mr.. Wender admitted he
favored the move. AS a matter
of law the Recreation Board is
autonomous and may define its
own policies. he pointed out.
Both Mr.. Wender and Mr..
Young declared they felt state
ment of policy" by the Commits
sioners would not be ignored by
the Recreation Board.
Long Controversy Recalled.
The Commissioners conference
with President Truman was the
latest development in a long his
tory of controversy between the
Interior Department and the Rec
reation Board.
The District Recreation Board
was created by Congress in 1912.
Before that there had been three
public agencies administering rec
reation in the District. They
were the Department of Play
grounds, under the Commission
ers. the Community Center De-
partment. under the Board of
Education, and the Federal parks
under the Interiors National Cap
ital Parks.
All three followed the segre-
gated pattern of the community.
However, the National Capital
Parks Office began to do away
with segregation on park lands
soon after 1t took over the Fed
eral parks in the city in 1888
from the Once of Public Build
ings and Public Parks.
The Recreation Board inherited
the segregated recreation system
from the Department of Play
grounds and the Community Gen.
ter Department when it was Gre
ated. In recent years. National
Capital Parks has followed the
Interior Department policy Of
non-segregation particularly since
President Truman began advocat-
ing his civil rights program.
So as it stands now. the city
has two systems. The District
Recreation Board enforces a
strictly segregated policy on the
,city's Fairgrounds. Federal park
facilities under the Interior De-
.partment are open to all races. In
addition the Districts public
schools and their Fairgrounds
come into the picture-also on q
segregated basis.
Central Operation Provided.
The act creating the Recrea-
tion Board said the board should
operate all the recreation facili-
ties in the city and make agree
ments with other agencies. such as
the Interior Department. which
might have jurisdiction over some
phase of recreation.
The Interior Department never
has fallen into this idea of turn
ing over its recreation facilities
to the local board. Although
its reasons may not have been
quite clear several years ago. AS
sistant Secretary Davidson has
made 1t quite plain recently.
He stated the Interior Depart
ment felt the Recreation Board
was the proper agency to operate
