ator Stout to make the civilian
award, commented that the safe
driving award is noteworthy and
IN line with the safety program
in effect on the Post, to be
cautious with a vehicle so that
similar records may be compiled.

large crowd of spectators, Cen
eral Back expressed his apprecia-
ton of being part of the cere-
mony in honoring two officers

exceptional military service. The
Army's Chief Signal Officer also
left a message directly to the

he was named as Chief Justice of
the United States Supreme Court.
He was a member Of Calvary from
1911 until his death in 1948.
The origin of Calvary Baptist
Church dates back to 1862. It seems
that due to anxieties and differing
viewpointS-then as during other
warS-69 members of the E Street
Baptist Church withdrew to form
the Sixth Baptist Church; the
name was soon changed to its
present one. A pioneer pastor,
DR.. Samuel Harrison Greene,
served this congregation from
1879, for Al consecutive years,
until his death in 1920.
Calvary's first building, dedi-
Gated in 1866. was destroyed by
fire the next year. The second
building was dedicated in 1869;
remodeled in 1895. Largely
through the gifts of Amos Ken
dali, Postmaster General under
Presidents Jackson and Van
Buren, these buildings were made
possible in those early days.
Calvary Baptist Church lays
claim to having the first organized
Adult Bible Department in the
Sunday School world. One of the

Killings Again Urges
Protection Of Federal
Employees Who Testify
By the Assoeieted Press

Representative Killings, Repub-
lican, of California said yesterday
There is growing need for Con-
lgress to provide protection against
Ereprisals for Government workers
who testify before congressional
committees.
This was pointed up, he said, by
recent developments In a House
Judiciary subcommittee's investi-
cation of the Justice Department.
He referred to the request made
last week by acting Attorney Cen
eral Philip B. Perlman for a copy
Iof the testimony given the COM
mittee in closed session by an
Anti Trust Division lawyer, Ernest
Branham.
This is an apparent effort to
discipline Branham for his testi-
|mony given the committee" Mr..
Killings said. Mr.. Perlman said
that was not his intent unless
circumstances called for it.
Mr.. Killings also said he has
asked Chairman Chelf of the in
vestigating subcommittee to get
behind a bill he introduced more
than year ago which would make
it a criminal offenSe for any Fed
eral supervisory employe to move
against an underling who talked
before a congressional committee.
A companion bill, sponsored by
Senator Nixon, Republican, of
California, won Senate approval
last July.
1t provides for penalties up to
five years imprisonment and
$4,000 fines for any Government
official who dismisses, denotes or
otherwise disciplines workers be-
cause of their roles as congress
Sional witnesses.
Mr.. Chelf has notified Mr.. Bran
ham that he should respectfully
refuse" to meet a request by
superiorS for a memorandum on
his testimony.
At the same time Mr.. Chelf
ignored a request by Mr.. Perlman
for a copy of the transcript of
Mr.. Branham's testimony.

DR.. Charming H. Tobias, of New
York, director of the Phelps
Stokes. Fund, declared that Amer
leans must insist that there can
be no such thing as gradualism
where human and civil rights are
concerned"
Rights are not benefits conde-
Iscendingly to be parcelled out by
the strong to the disadvantaged,
but are inherent in citizenship in
a democracy" DR.. Tobias said.
|"We in America have a back
ground that suggests our compe-
Etency for handling this difficult
problem. We have our weak
nesses, and I am not one to seek
to cover them up. But we also
have our strengths, and one OF
the most important of these is
the freedom to speak out on this
vital issue Of race relationiSm.
He also warned it was now "a
great international issue, embar-
RAISING and handicapping our
Government in its efforts to ex-
tend the frontiers of democracy
and to fight a successful battle
for free world. If all the people
Iof our country could realize the

they would spare no means for

Laymen's Group Grows.
There are now 1888 chapters Of

teriarl Men, it was reported today
to the meeting: Purpose of the
organization is to train men about

fairs, told the general meeting
yesterday the United States has
"a clear responsibility to partici-
pate fully in the United Nations
program for promoting the OBJ
servance of human rights"
u. N. Covenants Cited.
DR.. Nolde pointed out that the
Commission on Human Rights of
the United Nations is now draft
ing two covenants-one dealing
with civil and political and the
other with economic, social and
cultural rights-and declared this
work must go forward as "en-
hghtened self-interest and altru-
ism combine to underscore our
task"
"Neo-iso1ationists" are opposing
these covenants "as a ground for
their opposition to continued
United States participation In the
United Nations" the speaker
warned. Their criticism Is un-
. founded, he said. especially the
view that our people would "lose
their rights IL their Government
should ratify a covenant" Citing
the constitutions Of New York,

Calvary Baptist Church will
celebrate its Goth anniversary
Sunday under the guidance of a
minister who came to the church
the same year as did a distin-
guished parishioner - President
Warren G. Harding.
That clergyman, DR.. William S.
Abernethy, was called to Calvary
Church in 1921, the year that Mr.
Harding came to the White House
and Joined the congregation.
DR.. Abernethy, now minister
emeritus. is serving as chairman
of the Anniversary Committee.
He retired in 1941 and was sue
ceeded by Dr.. Clarence w. Gran
ford, present pastor Of the church
at Eighth and H streets NV.
Being minister emeritus has its
merits, too, for DR.. Abernethy can
tell without worry of how fine it
is to have a President in your
church. Also. he recalls how
strenuous it may be at times.
Too Little Space.
One of the obvious. difilcult
problems about having Presi-
dent in your congregation, DR..
indicates. is that mat
ter of too little space for too many
people. And those who can't get
in. and their families, and their
friends, just don't like it. Finally,
his church, as some other presi-
Dental churches. had to start q
ticket system. Then, there were
too few tickets for too many peo-
pie. So the old problem per-
sisted, any way you tried to mend
it.
It seemed there might still be
a President around Calvary, the
other Sunday morning, for the
was filled with people. who
heard DR.. Crawford tell of "the
delusion under which mankind
has lived throughout its history"
Following the atom bomb test
at Yucca Flat, Nevada" he said,
'one reporter wrote of the bomb
as humane weapon, calling
atom bombing a mercy stroke
because it will kill troops quickly
and in large numbers and
thus shorten wars"
"This is the delusion under
which mankind has lived through
out its history-that greater
weapons Of violence will abolish
war. Instead of boasting of the
power of the atom as a peace
producing means, we had better
stop talking about the atom bomb
as q humane weapon con-
tinued DR.. Crawford. land talk
instead about what our way of
life offers to confused. exploited
people.
Let use talk about the fact
that in America" the minister
said, "a man Is safe in his own
home from unwarranted, invasion
by gestapo police-that the peo-
pie choose their leaders-that
they have the means in their
hands Of replacing leaders who
become unworthy Of their trust.
Let us talk about a Nation where
men are free to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of their
own conscience. Let us prune any
talk about killing troops quickly
and in large numbers and stress
a way Of life that offers life with
out compulsion and fear to those
who will receive it."
Prune Power Of Violence.
The minister urged the need to
prune "our abundant faith in the
power of violence to produce
peace" The area in which we
need to grow most Of all is love,
he said. and our very root is
faith In Jesus Christ.

with constituents are in no mood
to increase taxes, extend social
security OF pass new welfare leg
islation. Their attitude indicates
that in election year 1852, the
average Congressman has conclud-
ed the voter wants no more of the
Fair Deal program at present.
The statements made several
days ago by Senator Walter George
and Representative Bob Doughtom
both chairmen Of committees
which would handle new tax leg
islation-show clearly how senti-
ment is running on new taxes.
Both went on record with flat
prediction that no tax increase
would be voted in this session, the
last, Of the S2nd Congress.
Foreign ala seems one item
which is sure to be trimmed con-
si6erably. Even Senator Tom Con-
nally and Representative James P
Richards-who head foreign af-
fairs committees-predict drastic
cuts. Other members will favor
heavier cuts than Connallv and
Richards. In the way of military
legislation, it seems that universal
military training has an excellent
chance of adoption, that an air
academy might be authorized and
that another military pay-raise bill
might be passed. A lively fight
may develop over this latter issue.
A civil rights battle may also
develop, but it probably won't IL
major one, and the Administra-
ton will probably suffer a defeat

pushed to a showdown. In sum-

one. Congressman and Senators
would like to get home and begin
politicing early and the two party
conventions are set for June and
July. 1t is always desirable for
Congress to be adjourned wien
the party conventions are held,
though whether this year that will
be the case is a question. But
members of Congress are once
again shooting for early adjourn

Vinson- Kefauver line, for the Dem
ocrats, and the Eisenhower Dirk
sen or TAFT Driscoll lines for the
Republicans. The thought behind
a kefauver role on the ticket is
that the Democrats might counter
corruption scandals with a crime
buster on the ticket. AS for the
Ike-Dirksen lineup (which may be
impossible) and the Taft Driscol'
possibility, the thought here is
whichever Republican candidate
finally wins out (presuming that
it will be one of the two), the del
egatcs will want to put a man of
the other faction to the ticket with
him. Thus Senator Everett Dirk
sen as an Ike possibility and Gov
ernor Alfred Driscoll as possible
Taft running mate. The Illinois
Senator is inside the Taft faction
and the New Jersey Governor gen.
orally considered an Ike sympa-
thizer.
The time is fast approaching
however, when the General will
have to say something indicating
his course of action or availability.
While his intentions seem clear
enough to his rabid supporters,
they are not clear enough to cut
the ground from under Taft work

ers, who exploit the chance that
Ike will not run at all. And though
Ike is probably more generally pop
ular than Taft, many people want
to be on the winners side and
many are inclined toward Taft
when told Ike is not candidate
and will not enter the fight with
sleeves rolled up.
The General may make a move
inside of six or eight weeks.
Whereas Secretary Of State Dean
Acheson was the target for snipers
only few short months ago, and
though his replacement was pre-
dicted and recommended by var
ious people in various places all
over the country, it now seems
that Attorney General Howard Nc
Grath is first in line for replace
ment. Even John Snyder, of the
Treasury, may bow out before Ach-
eson, who seems to be getting more
and more support all over the
country.
McGrath hasn't caught the pub
lies fancy as a cleaner-upper of
government corruption and, in
fact, is not entirely blameless, in
some minds, for the mess that was
not cleaned up in the Justice De-
partment. He made a number of
enemies as chairman Of the DEM
ocratic party's ruling committee,
and no one would shed any tears
