Citizens groups parent-teachers assocla-

not to take anything away from any one,

Surely, the intelligent action now is to unite

A Rainbow Over the Alps
Moral Rearmament Ideal Seen as Way to Work
Necessary Change in Human Character
By the Rev. Frederick Bro1vn Harris DID,, Lin DID.
IN Harris, DID,, Lit. DID.

We need about everything. But We need
most Of all changed people, a change which
will enable us to trust one another"
Communism Is out on q worldwide scale
to liquidate one class and put another un-
changed class at the top Of the heap.
Socialism. often sincere enough in its at
temptS to eliminate exploitation In order to
bring the good things Of life to all people,
is still dealing with unchecked selflshness
which can wreck any social scheme Even
in chastened capitalism, management and
labor confront each other with belligerent
bitterness and suspicion in a constant tug
of-war. With legislative bricks, sorry at
tempt doomed to futility Is being made to
build an altruistic edif1ce on the sinking
sands of an unchanged society. 1t Is self
evident that the utopian plan will not work
without the utopian man.
The only escape from catastrophe Is to
change human nature. That diagnosis is
as old as the Matchless Figure who enunci-
ated the Sermon on the Mount and who
insisted as He fronted the deepest needs
of the individual and of society," You must
be changed" Born again." He called it.
That is the working gospel of Caux-change,
not in some sweet by and by, but in the here
and now. That is the rainbow over the Alps,
Here men and women by the thousand,
representing all walks of life, from more
than half hundred nations, are finding
the secret of actually practicing the presence
of God-the God who did not cease to
guide and to speak when some holy book
was closed centuries ago, but who is speaking
now to those who will but listen. Here
at Caux in hostile world longing for
peace but preparing for war, is an arsenal
of the spirit where the invincible instruments
of moral rearmament are being put into
the hands of eager crusaders who are march
ing forth with the old cry which once rang
through the embattled hosts of Europe,
God wills it," Here is the laboratory proof
that human relationships, individual and
social, dull, defeated and divided, may be
changed to relationships radiant, victorious
and united. Seeing that rainbow, par

A Public Menace

There is more to the story of Ralph Bur-
roughs, a 22-year-old plumber, than the
fact that he has been sent to jail for 80
days for driving go miles an hour in Is
mile zone.
Behind this bare fact<is a record Of
traffic violations that shows Burroughs to
be a public menace when driving car
and which is indicative of very little regard
for the public safety by the authorities
who have permitted him to drive. Here is
the record:
April 20, 1916, speeding SO miles per hour.
Forfeited $780, Same date, no lights while
driving, forfeited So.
June TO- 1916, failure to exhibit permit.
Fined $500 or one day in Jail. Same date,
failing to give right of way to a pedestrian.
An accident Concurrent sentence of $100
fine or 10 days in jail.
dent, forfeited $25.
March 27, 1947, driving permit suspended
> March %, 1947, leaving after colliding,
fined $1O0 or 80 days. presumably this
and the following offense occurred prior
to the permit suspension)
March 20, 1947, no lights while driving,
fined IS or two days in jail.
January IL, 1948, permit restored.
April 10, 1948, speeding 38 miles per hour,
forfeited So
September 7, 1948, minor parking offense.
September IL, 1948, following too close
behind another car an accident, forfeited
$40.
December T. 1948, permit suspended.
February 81, 1949, sent to traffic school.
February %, 1949, permit restored.
July 20, 1949, passing stop sign, for
feited S.
September g. 1949 speeding 60 miles an
hour. (The offense for which he has just
been sentenced)
This record suggests two things. One is
that the public safety is not protected in
any adequate degree by the Traffic Court
judges, or by the system of keeping tabs
on a chronic offender in the court. The.
other Is that the officials in charge of
permit revocations have been exceedingly
lax. Within two years, Burroughs permit
was suspended twice, but restored on both
occasions-despite a record of violations
which clearly indicates his unfitness to
drive.
If this case is at all typical, it is small
wonder that automobiles in this country
kill about 700 people week and injure
around $4,000 more. One would think that,
instead of temporizing, the traffic authori-
ties would be trying to spot the dangerous
drivers and get them off the street before,
not after, they have killed somebody
Judge Kronhein, who sent Burroughs to
Jail for 80 days, one-third of the maximum
sentence, seems concerned with the prob
lem of dangerous driving and is trying to
do something to curb it. Washington will
be a safer city when the other judges and
the officials in charge of permit revoca-
tions join forces with him.

decades. All important naval guns are

Gradual expansion of facilities was in

All of these data will be recalled this

ton is in progress. But the past is only
a portion of the story. The United States
Naval Gun Factory will have future also

Spires of the Spirit

Spanning the sky like a radiant scarf of
blended colorS, saw a rainbow ver-arch-
ing the majestic peaks of the Alps. Under
that sign in the heavens lay a little town
perched on the mountainside 5000 feet
above the city Of Montreux and that liquid
blue gem which In Lake Geneva. AS q
blazing star once hung over Bethlehem Of
Judea so a rainbow hangs over little town
in another small land. lovely Switzerland.
That spot high and lifted up. is modern
Mecca which, as magnet, has been drawing
to it's spacious Mountain House pilgrims
from all parts of this fear-haunted earth.
For during these crucial months, when 1t
is later than we think, the paths of peace
makers who are to be called the children Of
God have led to Caux. pronounced in our
English tongue CO.
All for which Caux has become an inspir-
ing symbol fits in perfectly with that
opulent word, Cooperation. Here Is an
enchanted mount where the Sermon on the
Mount is being put into practical operation
in this very year of crisis and chaos. That
mountainside has been called by a distin-
guished member of the United States Con-
gress "the brightest spot in the dark picture
of Europe" In many aspects that somber
picture is dismal indeed. One of the worlds
most profound thinkers, whose frank telling
of unpleasant truth has earned him the
title of the Gloomy Dean" DR.. 1nge of
St. Pauls, London, has just emerged from
retirement after much brooding over the
present ominous world situation with this
startling warning: Either the nations
must surrender some fraction OF their In
dependence to supernatural authority
which will have the power to settle disputes
peaceably or peace will be restored as in
the Roman Empire by a knockout blow by
the strongest power. This last looks pain
fully like Tartar domination OF Europe and
Asia. Shall we have the sense to choose
the former alternative?" But the fatal
trouble is that the former alternative"
namely, just adjustments of the differences
dividing mankind, cannot be chosen unless
men and nations change. Above political,
diplomatic and economic levels, earnest
men and women weary of frustrated me-
chanical shuffling of the same old cards
of fate. are frankly facing the fundamental
necessity changed hearts, changed
desires, changed attitudes, changed motives,
changed objectives.

Gun Factory SesquicentenniuI

The l50th anniversary OF the establish
ment of "the worlds largest naval
armament plant" is an occasion worth
celebrating. Known throughout most of
Its history as the Washington Navy Yard,
1t now bears the title of "The United
States Naval Gun Factory" The change
in nomenclature, it seems, was work of
nature. So long as the channel of the
Eastern Branch of the Potomac River was
deep enough to permit large vessels to
pass, ths designation which the place
originally bore was correct. When that
ceased to be the case, new name became
imperative.
But the officers, men and women who
are employed in the 125-acre reservation
continue to speak of it as "the Yard" and
nothing can alter the record of what has
happened there in the past century and
half. The actual date of the order to lay
out the grounds was December 3, 1799..
Captain Thomas Tingey was the first
architect. He was succeeded by Benjamin
H. Latrobe, who set the pattern of de-
velopment from 1904 onward until recent
times. The earliest craft constructed was
the second Wasp, which was to win fame
by taking the British ship Frolic in 1872.
That year the plant was burned to prevent
its capture by the same invader who de-
stroyed the Capitol and the Executive
Mansion.
Subsequently "the Yard" saw the con-
struct. m of the frigate Brandywine, on
which Lafayette returned to France after
his farewell visit in 1925; the sloop
St. Louis which rescued Martin Kostka
from the Austrians at Smyrna in 1848;
the frigate Minnesota which was the flag
ship at Hampton Roads during the battle
between the Monitor and the Merrimac in
1862, and the Inflated Nipsic which was
smashed by typhoon in the Samoan Is
lands in 1889. Building and repairing
ships, however, was not the only business
of "the Yard" It was and largely still is
the main manufacturing center for fleet
equipment including anchors, chain cables
blocks, rope, sails, small arms and miscel-
1aneous items needed by the Navy. Expert
mental work Of vast Importance has been
carried on within the walls during many

Charity Beginning at Home Questioned
In Case of Polio Victims
To the Editor Of The Star:
America has been, is and probably always
will be very generous Nation. So generous,
in fact, that today we are in the process Of
lavishing billions Of dollars on nations who
only yesterday were our enemies. Perhaps.
as some would lead us to believe. "this is the
price we must pay for peace" I am not
arguing the truth of that statement That
is being done daily by men far better in
formed on the subject than am.

Of our own children are today lying in

Music Dispute Goes Round and Round,
Is It Wholesome Gift or Horrible Noise?

Music Dispute Goes Round and Round,
Is It Wholesome Gift or Horrible Noise?
To the Editor Of The Star:
The opposition to radio on car and bus
has been so voluble and vociferous, that l
am moved to plead for few sentences
in behalf of those who favor its retention
and who, I believe, constitute the large
majority. Ordinarily, when I board car
have in mind reading paper or magazine
or pondering on some Star editorial. But
this morning when I took the first step
on my car I was saluted with such sweet,
smooth ear-pleasing stains that I surren-
dered myself to it's Acadian soothingness
for the full half hour of my ride. Yes,
there was commercial or two intermingled
with the music, but so were there some
grounds in my coffee this morning and so
were Xhere few bones in my fish last night.
All this hullabaloo about "raucous" sounds,
disouiet and the like, reminds me OF the
synagogue worshiper who refused to say
Amen" to the prayers because ne was angry
at the rabbi. Back of the opposition to this
free and wholesome gift from Capital Tran
sit, in my mind, is not repugnance to the
music and commercials as such, but de-
sire to "get even'' with the corporation be-
cause it has had to increase its fare and
because of alleged inadequacy OF service.
with all of which I disagree. And I add
that do not own dimes worth OF stock,
as may be imputed to me by the dissenters.
Heeding your admonition to be brief, close
by paraphrase from the greatest of bards:
He who is not moved by the concord OF
sweet sounds is fit tor naught but treason,
strategem and spoils. HERMAN FELTER.
To the Editor Of The Star:
I would like to call the attention OF all
those who protest the horrible noise and
confusion on buses and streetcars caused
by the addition of radios to take notice
of an article in The Star OF September Il
announcing a public hearing to be held
by the P. U. c. on October 27 at 10 a. m.
in room 500 of the District Building. This
hearing is to be held as result OF many
protests, and the more who can attend to
substantiate the protest the more convincing
it will be.
I, for one, think it is terrible imposition
on the riding public to be trapped and forced
to listen to such noise and trashy, so-called
music which we would not listen to at
home.
