Spires of the Spirit

"Where do you Hve?" How often
the question is asked. perhaps, Of some
new acquaintance, met at a reception

It may be just casual inquiry, as 2
part of polite conversation. Sometimes
a breezy individual says, Here is my

written the facts having to do with
his place of business or residence. It's
all there, street number. city and State.
But how little is actually there!

how superficial was the playful answer
which satisfied her curiosity.

He replied Come and See" The

One, who had nowhere to lay His

But seeing where He whose coming
broke the ages in two actually lives,
one finds himself peering at a stately

and range as the love of God and
ample in its understanding sympathy
as the need of man. And so, we begin
to glimpse that there is vastly more
involved in our question than at first
appears.
After long yearning, a friend went to

more disappointment than joy. He
said: II had not truly seen where my

down the rough roads where he once
travelled as mail messenger; in the
meadows bright with buttercups; by
the forge. where God made him stall

Albert SpoIding

Washington music lovers knew Albert
Spalding as master. He regarded the violin
primarily as "a singing instrument" and for
that reason he dealt with it reverently and
generously. His striving for beautiful tone was
a labor good to hear and to see Without being
the greatest of virtuosi he was one of the best
for melody, for lyric quality, for graceful man
agement Of sound. The explanation Of his
attitude toward his work probably lay in the
fact that it was not easy for him. He did not
become an artist by accident or without effort
On the contrary, he rose to the highest plane in
his field the hard way, the difficult way.
True, Mr.. Spalding was exempt from pow
erty. The famous sporting goods business
owned by his family gave him a competence
Yet he insisted upon earning his own board and

Silent Candidate

The differences to be drawn from Repre-
sentative Stanleys unexplained failure to
answer six questions posed by the Virginia
League Of Women Voters can hardly be favor
able to his gubernatorial candidacy.
The questions were pertinent and legitimate.
They concerned repeal of the poll tax, repeal
of the States automatic income tax reduction
law, the holding of local Office by Federal en-
ployes, the adequacy of State mental health
facilities, etc.
All of these questions deal with valid and
important issues in the gubernatorial campaign
Mr.. Stanleys opponent, State Senator Charles
Fenwick, answered them. His answers may or
may not help him politically throughout the
State. The real point is, however, that the
voters know where Mr.. Fenwick stands on
these issues. They also have right to know
where Mr.. Stanley stands, and they should
not be expected to have confidence in his
candidacy until he states his position.

Congress and Its Record

It has been evident through the past four
months that the Eisenhower administration was
not seeking to set any records in terms of
volume of legislation in this first session of
the 83d Congress. The Presidents requests
have been relatively few and have left great
latitude to the Congress on the timing and the
exact nature of measures which would imple-
ment his recommendations Several long-range
studies have been proposed or initiated, appar-
emily with the thought that the major legisla-
tive effort would be made in next years session.
For a new administration, coming to power
for the first time in 20 years. this could be
considered a sound and responsible political
strategy.
Even so, the expressed hope of Republican
congressional leaders that enough may be &C
compliShed by July 81 to permit adjournment
Z until next January sets up target that will
be difficult to hit. On the Senate side only one
of the basic appropriation measures-the first
Independent Offices bill-has been passed, with
approximately dozen more yet to go. Appro-
priations Committee Chairman Bridges esti-
mates that the last of the supply bills-for
foreign aid-will reach the Senate floor about
July IS. Although no must" list was detailed
by the Republican leaders, there are some pend
ing measures that seem to fall almost auto
matically into such category Among them
are extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Act, extension of the corporate excess
profits tax or some substitute revenue legisla-
tion simplifcation of the laws governing Gus
toms procedures, second offShore oil bill
which would define the rights of the Federal
Government beyond the State boundaries,
measure authorizing loan of one billion tons
OF wheat to PakiStan, and an emergency immi-
grafton act which would permit entry of 100000
refugees from friendly congested areas The
threat of Senate filibuster on Hawaiian state
hood makes it appear that this pledge by both
Republican and Democratic Parties is going to
go unredeemed for at least this session, and
Taft-Hartley amendments also have been
dropped from the priority list.
Actually, move to adjourn Congress by
the end of July may encounter resistance within
both parties-either because of the amount of
unfinished business pending or the feeling that
Congress should not surrender the privilege of
reconvening on its own initiative if world events
take some new course during the last half of
the year. In case of adjournment, Congress
could come back only on call of the President
An alternative would be to recess, a status
which would permit reassembly at the will of
congressional leaders.
For the moment. however, the important
question is how much can be accomplished in
the next two months

those low levels are the things which
belong to our animal heritage and
where are the reminders of our savage
ancestry. w. j. Fielding writes: "You
do not look as though you had savage
concealed about your person. You are
intelligent, ood-natured, generous,
honest, gentle. But the ghost of your
savage ancestry is within you and is an
absolute stranger to ethics, 100 per cent
selfish and anti-social."
Then, above that, is the nursery of
our childhood, which ought to be vacat-
ed when we grow up. Paul admonishes
us, as the mature years come on. to put
away childish things. But, alas. if we
ever put away childlike things! So
many adults spend so much of their
time in yesterdays nursery. They have
not dispensed with childish things. For
instance, they still pout and bawl and
do all kinds of unpleasant things to get
their own way.
Then, there is the upper floor with
its spacious, sunny rooms of faith and
love, its altar reared to the Unseen and
Eternal, and its windows framing the
splendor Of far horizons One has said
Of this topmost story, which is the liv-
ing room of the life which is life in
deed: 1--WE must climb up to it. There
is no elevator. There the outlook is
wider and the light whittier. We can
see more clearly"
The Apostle was looking at this up
per room in his ringing exhortation:
whatsoever things are true, honest,
just. lovely, pure. of good report, think
on these things" That is, live on this
level To dwell here is to know an
expanding life that is good and great
and glorious.
AS we think of these four levels Of
fering possibilities for our souls resi-
dence, symbolized by the bark of the
beast. the war whoop of the savage,
the whining cry of the child and then,
far above all. the radiant spaces of the
spirit, the question Where do you live"

Transit Tips

The writer was employed at the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
many years, and is retired Govern
ment employe. In view of the fact that
congressional hearings are being held
concerning the organization of a new
Metropolitan Area Transit Commission.
some brief suggestions are offered, as
follows:
That zone fares be established similar
to those in use in London. The traffic
in that vast metropolis moves much
faster and more efficiently than here
in the National Capital. Under the zone
system, a passenger travelling from Du-
pont Circle to Union Station would
pay less than one travelling to Ana
costa. Taxicab charges at present are
assessed on the basis of traffic zones.
Some labor contracts call for Csc
year period. Wages should not be
fixed in accordance with the blatant
demands of labor barons, and their
economic advisers indoctrinated with
the theories of an authoritarian, or
welfare state. The Department of Ag-
riculture recently released some figures
showing that the retail food costs have
been reduced per cent since Deem
Der, 1850. 1t would, therefore, be more
reasonable and equitable to the millions
of passengers that use the transit facil-
tiles in the metropolitan area of WASH
ington to have future labor contracts
made on the basis of the cost of living
similar to other industries, and
A subway system should be con-
structed to relieve traffic congestion in
Washington and expedite the service.
There are two subway systems in Paris,
France, and the average workingman
can purchase a round-trip ticket, and
by paying an extra centimes Cor one
penny can return home in the evening.
