Emphasizes Primary Need for Support
OF Child Day Care Genters

To the Editor of The STAR
Rabbi Gerstenfelds solution to the prob
lem of the care of children of working
mothers in the District of Columbia is very
beautiful from a spiritual point of view but
it is not probable nor is it practical.
The problem belongs to the Government.
not the church. 1t is the, duty of each tax
paying citizen to insist that children in need
should be taken care of.
The Rabbi mentioned $4,000 children of
working mothers in the District. That is
misleading figure. A large percentage OF
the $4,000 children come from families
where the mother is employed because she
desires to be, not because it is necessary.
Certainly, mother who employees maid or
governess as the Rabbi mentioned does not
need financial help from the District or the
church.
am concerned with the children that at
tend the Child Day Care Centers. The par
ents of these children are of the very low
salary bracket. In most of the cases there
is only one parent, in other cases two par
ents whose salaries combined hardly Is
enough to make ends meet.
These parents have great love for their
children and try to give them as normal
home life as possible. They pay what they
can afford the amount based on their earn
ings to the Child Day Care Centers. If they
did not have these havens most of these
children would be roaming the streets while
their parents are employed. There is a
great possibility that as a result, many of
them would become juvenile delinquents.
Let us help these people who are so willing
to help themselves, by making sure there
are enough appropriations to expand the
Child Day Care program to include all of
the children of parents who find it neces-
sity to be employed. In the long run 1t
would be saving the Government great
deal of money. 1t would keep these parents
who are more than willing to work from
having to apply for public assistance.
1t would certainly pay off in good solid
citizens of the future where otherwise these
children might end up in our jails

Cites Cellini's Own Description
OF Famous Austrian Salt Cellar

OF Famous Austrian Salt Cellar
To the Editor Of The Star:
In connection with the magiicent Aus
trian Art Collection currently being ex-
hibited at the National Gallery, your readers
may be interested in Benvenuto Cellini's
own description of the beautiful gold salt
cellar which is one of the principal attrac-
tions OF the collection. Cellini describes it
as follows:
while this work was going forward I
set aside certain hours of the day for the
salt-cellar, and certain others for the Jupiter.
There were more men engaged upon the
former than I had at my disposal for the
latter, so the salt-cellar was by this time
completely finished. The King had now
returned to Paris; and when paid him my
respects, I took the piece with me. AS I
have already related it was oval in form,
standing about two-thirds of a cubit,
wrought Of solid gold, and worked entirely
with the chisel. While speaking of the
model. said before how had represented
Sea and Earth, seated, with their legs in
terlaced, as we observe in the case of f1rths
and promontories; this attitude was there
fore metaphorically appropriate The Sea
carried trident in his right hand, and in
his left put ship Of delicate workmanship
to hold the salt. Below him were his four
sea-horses. fashioned like our horses from

their body. from the middle backwards, re-
sembled fish, and the tails of these crea-
lures were agreeably interviewer. Above this
group the Sea sat throned in an attitude of
pride and dignity; around him were many
kinds OF fishes and other creatures of the
ocean. The water was represented with it's
waves, and enameled in the appropriate
colour. Il had protrayed earth under the
form Of very handsome woman, holding
her horn of plenty, entirely nude like the
male figure; in her left hand I placed a
little temple Of Ionic architecture most
delicately wrought, which was meant to
contain the pepper. Beneath her were the
handsomest living creatures which the earth
produces; and the rocks were partly en-
ameled, partly left in gold. The whole
piece reposed upon base of ebony, properly
proportioned, but with a projecting cornice.
upon which introduced four golden figures
in rather more than half-relief. They
represented Night. Day, Twilight, and Dawn.
I put, moreover. into the same frieze four
other figures, similar in size, and intended
for the four chief Winds these were executed,
and in part enameled. with the most ex-
quisite refinement.
This excerpt is from the translation of
Cellinl's life by John Addington Symonds,
published by Scribners in 1890.

Offers Explanation of Nom Segregation
In Episcopal Churches

oAC1S LApldHdtIOH OF NOn- segregation
In Episcopal Churches
To the Editor OF The Star:
In recent letter to The Star, Paul
thompson said. "As there is no Episcopal
Church, South or North, so there is no
Episcopal Church colored or white"
AS one who has been a lifelong Epsco-
palian. would like to explain this state
ment bit further. In the early Colonial
days, the Episcopal Church did not make any
particular effort to convert the Negro slaves
This work was carried on mainly by the
Methodist and Baptist Churches. These
groups worked to bring the spiritual and
civilizing benefits of Christianity to the COL
ored people and in time helped them to es-
tablish their own congregations. Less than
generation ago it was a common practice
In communities without colored churches
Tor the white groups, Protestant and Cath
olic. to set aside certain pews for the use
OF Negroes. To the best of my knowledge
this custom was not practiced in Episcopal
Churches. for the simple reason, suppose
that they had few If any contacts with the
colored groups.
The attitude OF some churchmen may have
changed in recent years, but it seems to
me that in city such as this where
there are numerous, well-organized colored
churches, it is pretty late in the day for
the Episcopal Church to begin proselytizing
among these people.
Although don't consider myself Bibli-
cal authority, nevertheless can't recall
that the Bible states that there is any spe-
cial virtue in making point of trying to
worship with as many varied and different
kinds Of people as one can possibly gather
together. The early churches actually were
nothing more than small groups Of friends
and neighbors, met together for religious
purposes; and it has been my observation
that the average person still prefers and is
most benefited by an atmosphere Of this
kind. r. w.

Relates Some Historic PreIiminaries
OF South Capitol Street Bridge


OF South Capitol Street Bridge
To the Editor of The Star:
The South Capitol Street Bridge having
nnally become reality, the writer looked
over the files of the former Winthrop
Indian Washington Military Highway
Assn, OF which he happened to be the Sec
retary-treasurer from 1914 to 1920, as he
had advocated the construction of this
bridge at that time in connection with the
construction OF the proposed military high
way.
The Maryland State Roads Commission
20. E. Weller, chairman, and Henry G.
Shirley. chief engineer) had declined to
place this route on the Maryland State
road map for future construction, contend
ing that the many Government reservations
and activities served thereby rightfully made
1t project for Congressional appropria-
ton. Turning from the State, bills were
introduced in the House and Senate by
Representative Sidney E. Mudd and Senator
Walter Smith for the construction of this
highway and Mr.. Mudd also was requested
to present bill for the construction of the
South Capitol Street Bridge, being in line
with the Southern defenses of WASHINGTON,
Activities in this connection secured unquali-
ned Endorsements from Army, Navy and
Marine officers.
However. when the bills and Endorsements
came before Gen. N. M. Black chief of engi-
neers, 1t was decided that the route did not
nave sufficient military Importance to ask
Congress for its construction
But the decision Of Gen. Black was re-
versed during the Second World War, and
the Maryland State Roads Commission may
not have been so far wrong in their premises,
for as a military necessity the old Maryland
No. 224 to Indian Head has been displaced
by modern. limited access road con-
structed by the Federal Public Roads Ad-
nlinistration at full cost to the Government.
section of this new highway is to be
dual highway eventually, to intersect with
the Morgantown Bridge-Crain Highway at
LaPlata, Md. The present Indian Head
highway then will be part of an important
trunk route to the South through Washing
ton, and the South Capitol Street Bridge
win give this Southern approach the best
Maryland entrance to the Nations Capital.

Dangerous Threat
To Democracy"

" urged Democratic and Republic
can conventions meeting in New
York State to adopt resolutions
vigorously endorsing the proposal
of Sen. Herbert II. Lehman Cd, N.
W to revise the Senate rule on
limitation of debate.
Walter White, NAACP executive
secretary, wired both conventions,
asserting that Twice this year the
so-called Wherry compromise rule
(requiring sixty-four votes to shut
off debate on motions or measures)
has demonstrated beyond all ques-
ton that no civil rights or any
other legislation can ever be
brought to a vote as long as a de-
termined minority filibusters."
Calling the ineffective rule a
breakdown OF the democratic
process" Mr.. White charged that
it lis one of the most dangerous
threats to democracy which exists
and does infinite harm to the repu-
tation of the United States at this
critical period of world history"
