would be attracted to the Job at
that pay and working schedule.
Subject to Pressure.
IT have beaten my brains out
for Is months to make the posi-
ton of Commissioner one of re-
sponsibility and dignity" Mr..
Donohue said. Il hoped that,
when I leave. the job would at
tract people to serve who would
be willing to contribute to the
District of Columbia, who could
afford to serve in the public in
terest."
He grew acid on the possibility
Of a city manager for Washing

for this job should first be ex-
amined by a psychiatrist at St.
Elizabeth's." he said.
The occupant of this post, Mr..
Donohue declared, would be sub
jected to the whims of nine coun-
cilmen, pressure groups, 435 men,
bers of the House, Sc Senators and
the Secretary of Interior, among
others.
Gen. Robinson also asserted that
the manager would have too much
on his shoulders. In addition, he
added. it is very likely that the
council would run into a division
of interests and would be weighted
down with squabbles and bicker-
ing"
Reasons of Rejection.
He pointed out that before the
Commissioners devised their own
reorganization program. they care
fully studied the council-managel
form, but rejected it on at least
three counts:
l - An Appointive council
| would not be representative of
the people but would result in
a council of special interests"
here.
2-That form of government
fails to fit special conditions
existing in the District. For
example. the combination of
Federal and local interests; the
fact that Congress legislates
for the city and decides broad
policy matters, and serves State,
county and city functions.

expenditures and number of

Opposed by Some Experts.
Gen. Robinson acknowledged
that although the feeling was not
unanimous. number of city
planning experts. consulted by
the Commissioners, showed op-
position to council-managership
for large cities.
1--WE came to the conclusion that
council-manager form is not a
proper stepping stone to home rule,
If and when home rule comes"
the general declared.
On the other hand. he added,
the Commissioner type was de-
cided to be the better road" to
that goal. 1t has worked we'll, the
general said. 1t has been ''rea-
}sonably honest and efficient. and
even outstanding in accomplish
ments in many lines of endeavor."
he said, adding that Washington
residents can take pride in the
achievements of their municipal
government departments right
on down the line"

division, traffic department-and
referred to Commissioner Dono-
hue's often-repeated statement
that Washington has one of the
finest. police departments in the
country.
I'VE have outstanding men on

Robinson said. Men who have
key positions in national organi-
cations of their speciality. And
we have received any number of
national awards for our record in
various fields
The general conceded that it
does not necessarily follow that
the Commissioner form has been
responsible for these accomplish
ments. But the fact remains. he
said. that they did develop under
that form.
Speaking particularly as Engin-

said he is convinced that the Bud

Both Commissioner Donohue
and Ger. Robinson spoke dispar-
agingly of the council-manager
idea itself-at least as applied to
city the size of Washington.
The general said he understands
the Budget Bureau plan calls for
councilmen who would serve one
or two days weekly and draw
$4,000 annual pay.
II shudder No think of a council
organized on that basis" he de-
clared.

Budget Bureau proposal may be
illegal if adopted.
The general said he feels that
since Congress set up the three
commissioner form of government
for the District, only Congress can
make a change under which the
present commissionership would
be "abolished' and a council and
manager substituted.
The Act of 1949, under which
the two reorganization plans for

not contemplate the sweeping type

end without God. -,
So, sinner friend, if you Will
only accept this Saviour ana get
on His side, then you Will miss
that awful place of punishment
which our Bible calls Hell, a place
prepared for the devil and his
angels. So, sinner friend, are you
burdened today with sin? II you
are, lay aside the robes Whlch are
stained with sin and call on Goo
and He will tighten your LOAD ana
brighten the way for you.
Then you can walk in the beaut-
iful sunlight of our journey thro-
ugh the dark valleys, TOR Jesus
has said, "I'll never forsake thee'
Christian friend, can we pillow
our heads at night and rest IN
peace with God If He should call
us so that we should behold be-
fore our eyes the daylight OF an
other day? Would you be prepared
to meet Him?
If you don't have that sweet as
surance in your hearts that you
are a child of God, you had better
get on your knees and ask Goa
to help you to get back on that
road that leads to heaven, Tor the
blessed book of eternal truth says
that the coming of the Lord draw
eth nigh.
If we would use our Bibles for
road maps from earth to heaven,
we would never have to detour,
for there is not but one Way-the
straight and narrow way that
leads to glory, that beautiful place
where God has gone to prepare for
us, where the streets are gold and
the walls are pure jasper. There
peace, gaiety, and happiness will
be as long as the ages roll.
So, sinner friend, how can you
90 on in sin and not accept this
! free home-heaven - where you
can be with God and the angels,
where there will De JOY and happl-
ness forever and ever. But If you
continue on in sin and forget
lGod, then God said you would be
turned in to He'll with the demons
and the ones who forgot God:
So please take the advice of one
who loves you; change your ways
and live for God. Get on that road
| that leads to heaven.

THE LORDS SIDE?
Nv Grover Duncan

AS we sit and watch the beauti-
full sunshine that God has given
us, do we ever stop to think
whether our lives are shining for
Him each day although we have
dark days? If we are shining for
the Lord, we are still on His side
and we can 60 to God in prayer
and pray the storm clouds away.
Then the sinners who watch ou4

on the Lords side. Then we can
be helpers to bring others into
the fold of God. For Jesus has
