But the great crusade has become
the great surrender.
Hitherto have had to address
myself to the rival politics Of
both Republican Parties, because
it was not certain whether Taft or
the general would end up in the
command post. It now appears
brutally clear that Senator Taft
has taken over. This puts an
entirely new aspect on the cam
paign and the election.
II suspect many people like my
self will be genuinely alarmed by
the reduction Of their differences
on foreign policy to differences Of
degree Whose views will pre-
vail, because clearly they cannot
be reconciled? Senator Taft says
he has not abandoned his views.
Has the general abandoned his?
I'VE will welcome the many Re-
publicans whose hopes for new
leadership in their party have
been dashed, and we will stick by
our principles and our principals. ."
Wouldn't Name Ambassador.
Asked if he would appoint an
ambassador to the Vatican, Gov.
Stevenson thought for a moment
and replied:
II think will not propose ap-
Ipointment Of an ambassador. The
feeling in this country is that it
constitutes an official recognition
of a religion"
He said that would be highly
incompatible with the principles
Of this Government, "but that i
not to say we should not take
advantage Of the exchange Of in
formation there as everywhere else
in the world"
He said he has not seen any
disadvantages with the previous
system of having a personal rep
resentative. He said he may dis
cuss the subject in detail later.
Other developments at the con-
ference were:
The Governor expressed con-
f1dence that the South will stay
Democratic, including Texas and
Louisiana.
He revealed he has had several
letters from President Truman
expressing approval and making
suggestions on his campaign. He
said they were very pleasant let
tiers and not critical.
He has never given any con-

j 900 MosIems Start Worship
AT Unfinished IsIon1ic Center

About 1000 Moslems in the
Washington area have already
started worshiping in the base
ment Of the incompleted Islamic
Center Mosque at Massachusetts
avenue and Belmont road NV.
Although the beautiful place OF
worship and culture will not be
completed before next year, the
faithful are meeting each Friday
for services.
The faithful pray five times
|daily-at dawn. midday, mid
afternoon, directly after sunset and
one hour and a half later.
At the present time a recorded
"call Of prayer" brings the congre-
cation together.
However. when the structure is
completed, any one who is so in
clined may serve as the moazzin,
the prayer-caller who tradition
ally appears in the tall minaret.
In addition to- prayer services,
the MoSlems have heard lectures
by DR.. Mahmoud Hoballah, direc-
tor of the Washington Islamic
Institute which will occupy two
wings Of the center. The insti-
tute will be joined to the mosque
by cloiSters.
Stressing the democratic prac-
tices of the religion, Islam has nc

qualified person may lead the
prayers. Usually he is one with 9

Protestant Sect Files
Protest With Ifa|y
On Banning Service
by The Associated Press

ROME, Sept. IS - American
Church Of Christ leaders said to-
day they planned court action
against police ban on their Prot
estant services in this seat Of Ro-
man Catholicism.
Cline r. Paden. Of Brownfield,
Tex. who heads the Rome Church
of Christ. said, 1--WE will do what
ever is necessary to bring our case
before the courts"
Police action against the sect in
Italy was climaxed yesterday when
worshippers defying the ban were
barred by police from the church
rooms in q Roman villa.
Application Pushed.
Today a Church of Christ dele
cation called on the Italian Minis
try Of Interior to ask quick and
favorable action on an application
to hold services in Rome. Mr.. Pa
den said the application was sub
mitted last week.
An informed Italian source said
the breakdown was due to the
groups evangelical activities
about 1000 conversions since
World War lin Catholic Italy.
(The State Department today
asked the American Embassy in
Rome for a report.)
Mr.. Paden protested to the In
terror Ministry that the inter-
ference with the service violated
guarantees in the Italian con-
stitution of religious liberty, free
dom of assembly and freedom Of
thought. A ministry official re-
piled that the Church of Christ
did not have government permis-
sion necessary to hold services,
a requirement that members OF
the sect said was enacted during
Mussolini's Fascist regime. Mr..
Paden said he had been trying
for three years, without success.
to get official recognition Of his
Other Denominations Unaffected.
Other Protestant denominations,
including Methodists and Bap-
fists. have experienced no such
difficulties. The Church Of Christ,
which operates % churches and
an orphanage in Italy, is sup
ported largely by contributions
from Texas.
Mr.. Paden announced Satur-
day that his groups church at
AeSSandria was shuttered last
Sunday. the Rome church had
been ordered closed and the same
action against the groups other
churches had been threatened.
The church's orphanage at Fras-
cati was closed in 1949 during
earlier agitation against its ac-
tivitieS but was allowed to reopen
after Texas members Of the
United States Congress protested
to the State Department.
Defying the closure order here,
Mr.. Paden opened the doors two
hours earlier than usual yester-
day in the stone villa he uses for
a church, within sight of Vatican
City and Roman Catholicism s
first church, st. Peters Cathedral.
Two policemen promptly took
stations at the stairs leading to
the bare second-fioor meeting
room. A Red riot jeep and some
I20 plainclothesmen backed up the
blockade.
An. American and an italian
fpasserby attempting to take pic
lures Of the activity were carried
OF to q police station and held for
two hours. -Four other Americans,
including q reporter, q Canadian,
German and IS or so italian wor-
shippers were stopped from enter
ing the church and ordered away.
There was no disorder, however.

Any discipline that is tainted
with q revengeful spirit is bad for
both parties concerned. Revenge
is forbidden by the laws Of spirit
|ual life and when those laws are
broken the result is illness Of the
mind and the body. Being related
to hate, this is inevitable.
Grown people who ought to
know better, especially those who
|are in charge of little children,
often vent their displeasure on
them in a revengeful spirit. Sonny
was Sitting on the floor occupied
with a toy automobile. He was
intent on its construction, lost in
some thought concerning it SO that
he was alone in his world.
Into this world broke Aunt
Molly with a breezy, Come along,

thoughts, was slow to come up

All right, young man. You'll want
to go with me next time and I'll
be busy" and away she went bang
ing the door behind her. Sonny
never looked up.
About a week later Aunt Molly
appeared and said to Sonny's
mother. "I'm going down to
mothers. I'd ask Sonny to go
along oNly last week he told me
he was too busy, so I'm too busy
this time,
I'm not busy now, Aunt Molly.
I'll 60 with you"
"Oh no, you won't. I told you

meant it."

Mrs. M. How much shall you tell

barrassed by the very pointed and
personal questions they are ask
ing: Is she illegitimate? What
race does she belong to? Do you
know anything about her religion?
Are you sure her mother was not
feebleminded? And SO on.
What shall you reply? Nothing,
say these experts. If you tell
anything. it is likely to come back
sooner or later to the child her
self, In distorted form. Suppose
you say that her mother had been
deserted by her father and was
