The "old-time religion advo-
Gated by Evangelist Billy Graham
was attacked by two Unitarian
ministers yesterday as being in
adequate for our day.
"The old-time religion is out
dated by modern science and psy-
chology." DR.. A. Powell Davies,
minister Of AL Souls Unitarian
Church. declared in his sermon.
The minister did not refer to Mr..
Graham by name. but his remarks
suggested he had the evangelist's
meetings here in mind.
Its (old-time religion1 as
sertions were always based on ig-
norance, even ignorance Of the
true nature Of the Bible" DR..
Davies declared. Preachers Of the
old-time religion are trained but
not educated. They are taught
to reproduce what has been given
them and to do 1t with maximum
emotional effect.
"They do not know the world OF
modern knowledge. They have
made no genuine study Of re-
ligion. Even the Bible, upon
which they rely so heavily, is not
the real Bible. known to scholars
but the Bible upon which they
have imposed their own phan-
tasy."
Cites 8 BAD Effects.
DR.. Davies charged that "old-
time religion" has three principal
bad effectS-it asserts as knowl-
edge what can be only conjecture,
it implants guilt feelings In the
young which later become COM
plexes, and it siphons OF moral
energy.
while people are devoting
themselves to keeping out Of hell
in the next world they do nothing
to cure the he'll in this. They pray
to God to make the world more
righteous. when that is what God
requires that they themselves
shall do"
The minister declared, I'VE
need q religion not Of escape but
of courage. We cannot escape.
even If we would. The hell that
we must try to avoid is the one
that will rain down upon Us TRIM

Leenlan Seeks
Court Review
Of Power Rates
Brief Says Schedule
Places Undue Burden
On Residential Users

Washington householders are
being unduly burdened in the new
electric rates approved by the
Public Utilities Commission for
the Potomac Electric Power Co.
Herbert P. Leeman, civic leader
contended in brief prepared for
filing today in District Court.
Mr.. Leeman, former president of
the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations. is asking the court to
reconsider the rates established
by the commission.
The brief. prepared by Mr.. Lee
man and his attorney, Frank B.
Hand. jr., declared:
by increasing the proposal of
the Pepco as to the residential
customers from $470,OO0 to $780,
600 a year and reducing the in
crease to these other services, the
commission is placing on the resi-
dental consumers the burden of
helping to pay for the supplying
OF electric service to both street
lighting and street railway serv-
ices"
Asks Order for Refund.
Mr.. Leeman asked the Court
to set aside two PUG orders, dated
February IL, 1851, and March 20,
1851. Pepco claimed it was not
making a sufficient return on its
investment and so asked for high
er rates to expand the service. Mr..
Leeman contended that the COM
pany wants the public, particu-
larly electric users in the District,
to pay in advance for this expan-
sion.
District Court was asked in the
brief to hold that any increase in
electric power rates unlawfully
collected be ordered refunded to
the consumers here.
Pepco asked for a rate increase
OF $3.5 million, but the PUG cut
this to $2.6 million.
Mr.. Leeman's brief informed the
court that the commission pro-
poses this distribution of cost to
consumers:
Residential, $550,0O0; CONNER
cial low voltage, $970,O00; COM
mercial high voltage, $3.50, 900;
street lighting, $265, 900; street
railway, $230,000, and Southern
Maryland Cooperative, $25, 900.
Says Conflict Is Obvious.
The brief contends there is an
obvious conflict and considerable
confusion in the commission's
orders.
He argued that rates must be
based on the cost of furnishing
service to the consumers in the
District and the record fails to
contain substantial evidence on,
this point. He said the Commits
sion approved an increase for resi-
dental consumers far above what
Pepco asked for this class and the
commission fails to explain why
1t did this.
Virginia consumers get reduc-
tions in some cases in their rates,
although the company applied for
q rate increase. The commission
considered evidence outside the
record in determining. the rate
base. the brief argued. saying that
for the final months of 1850, esti-
mates were given instead of facts,
because the hearings were COM
pleted in November 1850.

Billy Graham draws major at
tention during an evangelistic CRU
SADIE, but his team members make
the meetings a smooth running
operation.
Mr., Graham frequently pays
tribute to his associates for their
contributions to a campaign. The
present crusade, which opened in
National Guard Armory last Sun
day and will continue through
February 10, is no exception. For
every time the North Carolinian
steps to the platform center for
his talk. a receptive atmosphere
has been created by his CO.
workers.
Nearly every meeting has good
looking Cliff Barrows in charge
from its opening until MIR. Graham
begins his message.
The 2s-year-old song leader
from Greeneville, S. c., has the
perfect master of ceremonies ap-
proach that wins confidence and
makes friends in the audience.
Looking like a college student
cheer-leader, Mr.. Barrows' ready
smile, genial manner and infecti-
Gus appeal quickly induces the
crowd to swing along with him
In singing the beloved old hymns
They Favor Loud" Ties.
Mr.. Barrows Is one with Mr..
Graham and his co-workers In
wearing neat clothes and colorful
neckties. The latter are frequently
eye-stopping in their blazing de-
signs.
For 40 minutes, no more and no
less. Mr.. Barrows has charge of
the meeting. Then, almost with
split-second timing, he introduces
Mr.. Graham and the evangelist
takes over.
MIR. Barrows has been leading
the singing for. Mr.. Graham since
1945.
George Beverly Shea carries
through this emphasis on good
singing. Bev, as he is known, is
the Gospel soloist on the program,
He is a natural-born singer who

From all the activity at Wheaton,
4 miles north of Washington on
Georgia avenue extended, one
would think diamond mine had
been discovered in the neighbor-
hood or that some one had struck
oil or gold.
This is the hottest real estate
situation in the country" says
Edmund Cronin, president Of the
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce.
The Wheaton corner, where Old
Bladensburg road crosses Georgia
avenue. is the center of a ferment
similar to that which struck Silver
Spring right after World War II.
Thousands Move in.
Thousands Of people have moved
into the Cape Cod cottages, ram
blerS and semidetached houses
that have been built in the
vicinity of Georgia avenue and
Viers Mill road.
The Wheaton crossroads is the
most convenient shopping center
for most of this new population
and it is the commercially zoned
property that has Skyrocketed.
There are food markets, hard
ware stores. barber shops. beauty
shops. laundry and dry-cleaning
branches, restaurants, furniture
store, delicatessen, a branch
bank, school to teach children
ballet dancing, automobile equip
ment stores and many other estab-
lishments. More buildings are
under construction.
Only four years ago there were
five business establishments near
the Wheaton triangle.
The stories of skyrocketing real
ty values are mostly based on the
latest offer refused, for those
owning the desirable lots are
loath to sell. They feel that no
matter how high the offer for
their property, much higher one
will be made in few months.
There are stories Of land sold
in 1941 for 10 cents a square foot
bringing SIS a square foot in the
current boom-a 50-to-1 increase
in valuation.
Pioneer in Community.
John Pendleton, hardware mer-
chant. the pioneer Of the Wheaton
commercial community, has been
in business there less than seven
years. When he bought a house
and moved there in 1914, a
gasoline station was the only bust
ness establishment within the
Wheaton triangle. He opened his
store in December, 1945, in part
nership with his son. He paid
$4,000 for the house, which faces
Georgia avenue. He has refused
$4,000 for it and plans to build
q store and lease it at a $4,000
valuation for land alone.
