The Georgetown University
professor observed that although
100000 copies of the report have
been sold, he has yet to meet
"any one who has read the book. "
"One cannot get true idea of
how harmful this report is until
it is read in it's complete text" J."
he added.
Authors recently placed on the
Index of Forbidden Books for
Catholics we're Andre Glide,
French writer, and Alberto Mo-
ravia, Italian novelist, both in
1852. Only four American
writer's, none prominent, have
been placed on this list. The last
was William L. Sullivan, whose
novel "The Priest" was banned
in 1912. Books are placed on the
Index that are held to be con-
trary to morality and Catholic
teachings.

Cut in Realty
Assessments
Alexandria Mayor
Prefers Reduction to
Lowered Tax Rute

Mayor Marshall j. Beverley of
Alexandria today announced he
will take steps at the next City
Council meeting to effect an
across-the-board slash of proper
ty assessments.
After discussing the matter
with several councilmen, the
Mayor said, he has decided to
ask City Manager Ira F. Willard
to see that assessments are cut
in order to give relief to tax
payers who will be burdened by
the new high assessments"
1t was announced last month
that the total real estate assess
ment in Alexandria will be in
creased by about 40 per cent.
To offset this rise it was first
recommended the city's tax rate
of $1.75 per $100 be reduced.
Last week, however, Mayor
Beverley said he thought it pref
erable to cut the assessments if
possible. He said today that
City Attorney Floyd Williams has
reported the assessments. al
though they are more than 80
per cent complete. may be re-
duced.
The Mayor said the surplus
revenue anticipated is not called
for in the budget and would
only be spent"
Tax revenue in the 1854 half
OF the current budget was esti-
mated on a basis of a 40 per
cent rise in assessments.

A prominent Catholic physi-
clan has urged that the recent
book by DR., Alfred C. Kinsey,
Sexual Behavior of the Human
Female" be placed on the Cath
olic Index of Forbidden Books.
II seriously believe that if any
book in recent years deserves
being placed on the Index of
Forbidden Books, this one de-
serves serious consideration for
that dubious honor" DR.. John
r. Cavanagh, professor at
Georgetown University Medical
School, declared.
DR.. Cavanagh spoke at a
meeting of the Catholic First
Friday Club in the National
Press Club yesterday.
Cites Materialistic Approach.
Among the reasons he as
signed for banning the volume
were it's "materialistic approach
to the study of human behavior
which regards man. merely as
an animal" denial of the super
natural origin of religion" and
''laissez faire attitude" concern
ing "premarital relations"
The. speaker also charged that
DR.. Kinsey, being a biologist, was
not qualified to give judgments
in other fields. He also asserted
the biologists statistical method
was inadequate"
There is sharp disparity
between Americans and Eu-
ropeans concerning books such
as the Kinsey Report, DR.. Cav
anagh noted.
"On a recent trip to Europe 1

$4,000 Still Sought
As Chest Drive Hits
95.29 Pei. Of Goal

The 1854 Community Chest
USO campaign remained about
$190,000 short of its 81 million
minimum goal after the final
report luncheon at the Washing
ton Hotel.
General Campaign Chairman
Aaron Goldman called on those
who have not yet given, and
those who have given but might
make more generous contribu-
ton to close the gap.
AS of yesterdays report. the
campaign had reached 95.29 per
cent of its goal, with contribu-
tions totaling $3,811,675. This
is about $42,500 short of the
amount collected in last years
campaign.
Fairfax Leads.
Leading in percentage of
quota among the campaign units
was Fairfax County, with collec-
tions totaling $44, AL, or 1913 per
cent. Also over its quota, with
collections totaling $66,685, was
Arlington County, with 1885 per
cent. Arlington's campaign
chairman is Edward o. Poole.
Carrying out promise to give
the first campaign chairman to
beat his unit to it's quota a
wheelbarrow ride was Philip
Lustine, Prince Georges County
campaign chairman. Mr.. Lus-
tine gamely wheeled Fairfax
Chairman. John w. Koons along
F street NV, outside the Wash
ington Hotel, to the amusement
of onlookerS.
MIR Lustine's own unit had
raised $63,273, nearly $4,000
more than Fairfax, but this was
still 3.5 per cent short of the
county's increased goal this year.
Other units in the campaign
stood as follows:
Alexandria, 96.5 per cent. with
$85, ,250; Montgomery County.
SO per cent. with $140,129: Busi-
ness and Professional, 81 per
cent. with $544,950; Advance
Business, IS per cent. with ST.
017.000; Government, 81 per
cent, with $1,578.788, and Resi-
Dental. 98.4 per cent, with
$271,158.
Several of the reporting cam
paign leaders said there still was
money lin the pipeline" and
that efforts would be continued
to meet the quotas.
100000 Haven't Given.
Campaign leaders estimate
that some 100000 persons have
not yet contributed to the fund
for support of more than 100
health, welfare and recreational
agencies in the Washington area.
Mr.. Goldman was given a
standing ovation by the cam
paigners for his devotion to the
campaign. Appreciation was ex-
pressed to Mr.. Goldman by Her.
bert c. Blunck, president of the
Community Chest Federation.
The meeting heard a talk by
the Rev. John R. Baker, pastor
of the recently organized Uni
tartan Church of Montgomery
County.
America is the only country
in the world where a meeting
like this is possible" he told
them. Nowhere else will you
find people so banded together
in the community giving their
time and energy to help other
people-all voluntarily"

An Irish Methodist by the name
of Robert Strawbridge settled or
Sans Creek, now Carroll County
Md, in 176O. His influence was
to prove spiritual power which
would move Frederick and Mont
gomery counties.
In the early days, it was the
Rev. Robert Strawbridge who
preached to the people of lower
Frederick County, now Montgom'
cry County. The Frederick Cir
cult, formed at the second Metho
dist Conference in May 1774, was
the first circuit outside the city
of Baltimore.
Among the early preachers anc
circuit riders on the Frederick
Circuit were Samuel Spragg, Rich
ard Garrettson, William Waters
Reuben Ellis, Philip Cox, Ignatius
Pigman, William Ringgold, iona
han Forrest, Robert Green anG
Philip Catch.
Those early preachers were vel
acquainted with the wilderness
roads. They rode to their task
preaching wherever an opportunity
presented in taverns, towns halls
poorhouses, barnyards or wilder
ness clearings.
During the American Revolution
many Methodists were viewed Will

Gently arrived from England

Americans, especially Irish, Scotch
and English, were converted t,
