and deans, poets and preachers, he be-
comes conscious of the living dead-that
is, if he has eyes to see and ears to hear.
With dates jumping back and forth, per-
haps. over thousand years, there is a
strange solemnity about the inexorable
onward march Of time, as the "busy
tribes of flesh and blood are lost in
following years." Here, recorded behind
the sometimes half legible Inscriptions
is the familiar tale Of love and loss,
labor and sorrow, as we pause to read
of birth and death, of virtues and attain
mentS. We find ourselves fitting the
men here commemorated into the day
in which they walked. perhaps, in this
same cathedral and read earlier names,
even as we are reading theirs. We think
of who their contemporaries were: This
man died in the year George Wash
ington was defying George III. That
man ended his span the year Waterloo
blasted Napoleon's hopes. This ecclesi-
astic ministered in the cathedral when
John Wesley was riding up and down
England in his ceaseless quest for souls.
That man shared the England of DR..
Samuel johnson. And here is the
poignant entry of daughter who died
in the month of May, in her 10th year,
just before the Goth century dawned.
One wonders idly why she died so young,
while spring was over the meadows and
woods, touching gardens into rainbow
glory. even as the pictured windows of
the cathedral are now flashing truant
patterns on the age-trodden floor. And
that spilled beauty lifts our eyes to the
windows themselves and we find our
selves repeating:
In blessed Notre Dame OF ChdrtreS.

Spires of the Spirit
SdCrdnnents in Stone

In any land a cathedral draws as a
magnet, all roads lead to its Gothic
glory. For millions, unforgettable scenes
of venerable shrines are hung on the
walls of memory. No wonder that in
the homes of America there are untold
thousands of cathedral etchings, as seen,
perhaps, across some drowsy, lowered
meadow, or from a bridge spanning a
winding river, or as framed by the mar
row streets of some picturesque town.
Whatever the setting, one gazing feels
the spell suggested by Emerson's words:
THE Gothic cathedral is blossoming
in stone. The mountain of granite blooms
into an eternal flower"
A New York columnist who was read
by multitudeS, and who was no church,
man, writing on cathedrals shortly be-
fore his death, said: II know several
cultured men with no particular religious
leaning who go to Europe simply to make
the rounds of the cathedrals. They plead
the love of magnificent architecture.
Partly so, no doubt. But have watched
them at Rheims, Rouen, Chartres. In
variably they tiptoe inside, slip into some
pew and lose themselves in reverie, as
the music of the organ comes swelling
and wavering down the nave. In reality,
they are clutching the hem of some
thought-sweeping reverences that skirt
the enormity of eternity" What he was
saying is that, in the cathedral they
were finding the cathedral within.
II just can't keep out of old cathedrals
and abbeys," exclaimed recent visitor
to Europe. Their ancient portals seem
to open into the dim yesterdays. They
exchange the glaring light and breath
less traffic of today for the once-upon-
a-timeness of misty centuries. To some,
they are just inSufferable caverns of
vaulted gloom, with marble bishops re-
clining on their tombs, with sepulchered
martyrs bones and with their endless
tablets and slabs with archaic mscrip-
tions and eulogies of worthless who played
their brief part on the mortal stage
decades or centuries ago. But it all de-
pendS upon what one takes into a ven-
cradle shrine as to what one finds. There
is life there, as we'll as death; there is
destiny, as we'll as dust.
The beloved Dick Sheppard, who poured
out his very life for London and, after
ward, was dean of Canterbury, used to
say that every Cathedral is vocal. Sitting
alone before the high altar, with all it's
memories of martyred Thomas aBeckett,
he distinctly heard the voice of that
majestic piece of splendor that has out
lived the ages. AS one passes along the
walls of a. hallowed cathedral, mellowed
with the long years. with it's memorials

Higher Education in Politics

The presidential preference in American
halls OF higher learning appears about as sharply
divided and hard to pin down as that in the
country at large
General Eisenhower, on leave from his post
as president OF Columbia University, received
warm Endorsement from his institution when the
Faculty Volunteers for Eisenhower sponsored q
tull-page advertisement in some of the New York
papers supporting his candidacy. The ad stated
that the TIA sponsors believe that the United
states needs change of administration and we
urge the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower"
Before publication of the ad, however the
Columbia Daily Spectator, undergraduate news
paper, mad lndorsed Governor Stevenson in an
editorial and 324 Columbia personnel had issued
a statement on october 16 likewise supporting
the Democratic candidate. spokesman for the
Faculty Volunteers for Eisenhower, who apnear
to~outnumber the pro-Stevenson group bv more
than two to one, pointed out this proportionate
division and also explained that their Eisenhower
Endorsement was published partly to offset any
impression that the undergraduate Spectator
was speaking for the university
The Columbia returns" were somewhat
clouded however, by results of a poll reported
in the New York Times. With about half of the
1882 faculty members responding, that section
OF the poll gave Governor Stevenson 414 votes
as against $50 for General Eisenhower Another
section confined to students, gave the Governor
ITO votes to>339 for the general
Meanwhile, faculty groups at three other
Eastern universities moved into the campaign.
At Cornell, 1872 members signed a statement in
dorsing the Illinois Governor At New York Uni
versity, it was announced that 314 faculty mem
berS had Joined the Volunteers for Stevenson
And at Brown University, 40 faculty members
signed statement favoring Governor Stevenson
DR.. Henry M Wriston, president of Brown, had
previously announced his opinion "as a private
citizen" that Eisenhower offers the best prospect
of an administration with sound morals sound
economies, and an enlightened foreign policy"
1t appears from all this that each candidate
has intellectual friends but the present line-ups
do not offer much of a clue as to who will win on

MONTGOMERY Referendd

1t would be unfortunate if "spite vote" by
angry property owners in Montgomery County
were to cause defeat of two proposals which are
entirely unrelated to the growing reassessment
controversy. The proposals to be voted on No
vember would raise the ceilings on pay for the
county manager and members of the council
It is especially important to the future manage
ment of this growing county that the present
charter limit on the managers salary be lifted
so that the pay Of this key official may be
brought into line with that generally prevailing
for comparable jobs.
The Montgomery charter fixes the pay of
the county manager at $4,000. No increase is
possible without amendment of the charter
highly unsatisfactory arrangement in these
times of rising pay for municipal executives and
OF competition among cities for their services
Fairfax County had to offer $4,000 year in
order to obtain the services of a competent
executive. referendum proposal would elimi-
nate the salary lid from the county managers
Office and give the County Council the power to
raise it to what it considers to be reasonable
level. Another referendum would decide whether
to lift the lid, too, on total pay which NAV be
received by council members from $1,000 to
$4,000 year.
The referenda proposals have the backing
of most of the county's nonpartisan organiza-
tionS and there seemed to be little opposition to
them until the storm broke recently over drastic
increases in property assessments It would be
illogical for dissatisfied property owners to "take
1t out" on the council or county manager, how
ever, for neither council members nor manager
have anything to do with assessments The ref
erenda questions should be weighed on their
merits. If so weighed, the decision is apt to be
against arbitrary charter restrictions on county
salaries.

long time to wake up to the fact that gambler
Frank Costello is not good citizen and should
be deported to his native Italy. The ease with
which he duped the authorities into granting

ex-convict in New York State. Yet his statement
In his naturalization application that he was

Endorsed his application Costello is accused of
falsely swearing that he had never been con-
victed of crime, whereas he had been convicted
of carrying concealed weapon in New York; of
denying that he ever had been arrested for a
crime, whereas he had been arrested several
times; of denying that he had used ALIASES, I"
whereas he had used several; of taking the oath
of citizenship under mental reservations to vio-

prohibition and income tax laws and of deceiving
the Government in other ways.
Costello should be given the same deporta-
