Red Deans Opinions
Disowned by Head Of
Church Of England
by the Asseeiossd Press Z.

LONDON, Mar. 15.-Dr. Geoffrey
Fisher. Archbishop of Canterbury,
yesterday sharply disowned the
sentiments expressed by DR.. Hew-
lett Johnson, the Dean Of Canter-
bury, during a recent tour of the
United States and Canada.
1t was the second time in IS
months that the Archbishop has
made plain that the Red Dean"
speaks only for himself-not for
the Archbishop or the Church of
England. which DR.. Fisher heads.
DR.. johnson has been to Russia
several times and written books in
support of the new democracy"
of Russia and the Eastern Euro
pean nations.
I'm his public utterances upon
current affairs the dean speaks,
and indeed claims to speak, only
for himself and not at all for me
or for the chapter of Canterbury
Cathedral or for the Church of
England" DR.. Fisher said in a
formal statement.
1T is a matter of great regret
that the dean should advocate
views which are so insensitive to
the true facts of the situation.
Since it is frequently asked
why the dean is not removed from
his Office because of his opinions.
I must say first that for removal
from Office the law requires a trial
and conviction in some civil or
ecclesiastical court and that the
dean has not rendered himself
liable to a charge in either court.
Secondly, in this country we
greatly value the right to freedom
of speech and the law Is slow to
curtail it. even when it proves in
convenient, irksome or hurtful. It's
suppression is one of the grave
charges against those totalitarian
and police states which enjoy the
deans confidence.

4-H Girl Develops Dairy Herd
Owner of Five Purebred Holstein Cows
Also Has Two Fine Riding Horses

Margie Ann Sutphin, 13-year-
old Fairfax County All Club
member, knows the satisfaction
that comes from a job we'll done.
Starting a few years ago with q
nondescript grade calf, she now
has the nucleus of a pure bred
Holstein dairy herd.

AIMS story is that she has done
it almost alone. OF course, she has
had the support of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ned Sutphin, and
the help of her grandparents. Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh Sutphin. But she
made the money that bought the
pure-bred animals.
Margie Ann lives on a pleasant
farm on Route so. near Chantilly.
Her parents are the sort of peo-
pie who believe that good times
are part Of country living. In
addition to her five pure-bred
Holsteins, Margie Ann owns two
riding horses, one a big, rangy
chestnut hunter that is as gentle
as a kitten.
Margie Ann started in the dairy
business when she was five. That
year her grandfather gave her a
grade calf, and she began to
learn how to take care of it. La
ter she got other grade calves,
and by developing them. and
through a business deal with her
father, she made the money to
get pure-bred calf by the time
she was old enough to become
