But It Ought to Be

On the other hand, the Christian
does not give up, cynically. and
think that nothing can be done
about this The Christian. when he
is close to the thought and ideal Of
Jesus and of Paul, or in other
words the Christian who takes
Gods revelation seriously, sees
every reason to believe that the
world ought to be one. He believes
that God made Of one all the ma
tons OF the earth acts II: 26p--
that we are all akin. that the
Coloners lady and Judy Grady
are sisters under the skin" The
Christian can see that in spite OF
the terrific differences that sep
arate human beings-and there is
no reason to try TO iron these out
or to wish all mankind to be made
in an identical pattern-the Chris
tan can see that what we human
beings have in common is more
important than what we do not
have in common. We have all the
same Creator. the Father God Of
all. We are all from the same
origin. We all are created for the
same purpose-as one church ex-
presses it, Ito glorlfy God and to
enjoy him forever" The Com

Gov. McKeIdinA Asked
To Confer on Rates

The Allied Civic Group of
Silver Spring has asked for a
conference with Gov. McKeldin
to discuss rate increases made
by the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission this spring
and summer.
In a letter to the governor,
Willard A. Morris, civic group
president. said the sanitary COM
mission still has failed to justify
its new rates to the public de-
spite the fact that the Mary
land Public Service Commission
found them reasonable after a
July hearing.
The PSC "said that $4,000
per year was being mischarged
by the sanitary commission, :"
Mr.. Morris wrote. "Yet our at
torneys advise us that it is use
less to carry the case to the
courts because of the type of
statute under which they must
seek relief"
Mr.. Morris continued:
"Inasmuch as legislative aid
is not available at this time and
inaSmuch as the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
is a State agency. I respectfully
request the privilege of a con-
ference with you, together with
our attorneys and accountants,
for the purpose of determining
what. if anything. can be done

Open New Area for Children

nue.. This sum was used to build
the playground.
Mr.. Stead'S generous gift also
will provide a yearly income of
about $4,000 for upkeep of the
playground.
The heirs of Mr.. Stead are
William Force Stead. Robert
Stead, jr., Manning Stead, Ed
ward Stead and Mrs. Mary Stead
Worthington. Only Robert
Stead, who lives at 1868 Chevy
Chase parkway NV, still lives
in the Washington area.
All the heirs are pleased with
the selection of the P street
playground. It will be formally
dedicated to their mother, Mary
Force Stead, and a bronze plaque
will be erected about the middle
of October. when Robert Stead
returns from England.
The Stead heirs have pointed
out that the gift is appropriate
to their family history. Their
father lived for many years in
central Washington and their
great-grandfather, Peter Force,
one of WaShington's few Mayors
(from 1836-1840) is commemo-
rated in the Force School at
Massachusetts, avenue between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets NV.
The playground, open to both
white and Negro youngsters, has
been operating since the last
week in August. Nearly 100
boys and girls can be found
every afternoon using the foot
ball field, basketball court,
swings and other recreational
facilities. A remodeled carriage
house provides inside space for
rainy-day play.
THE kids in this neighbor-
hood have never had chance
to use equipment like this or
have such space to play in," a
playground worker said. Its
a pleasure to see how much they
enjoy it,"

Through a provision in a will,
a law suit and the efforts of
the District Recreation Depart
ment, youngsters are enjoying a
new playground on P street, be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets NV.
When Robert Stead. ST., died
in 1943, at the age of 81, he
left surprising provision in his
will. It called for land he owned
at Pennsylvania avenue and
Fourteenth street Sc. to be
turned over to the Recreation
Department for a playground.
No one knows why Mr.. Stead
decided to make this gift. but
the Recreation Department was
anxious to take advantage of it.
However, after a survey, the
property was found unsuitable
for a playground. Recreation ex-
perts pointed out it was near a
busy intersection, was essentially
a business section and was close
to another playground.
The Recreation Department
had bought some property on P
street for a much needed play
ground in central Washington.
The department proposed to the
executors of the will that the
Pennsylvania avenue property
remain as it was and the revenue
derived from it be used TO outfit
and keep up a playground on P
street.
1t was necessary to take the
case before the courts to make
this possible. First the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia and later the Court
of Appeals heard the case be-
fore allowing the department to
go forward with it's plan.
Finally in 1949, legal pro-
cedures were completed. BY this
time $65,000 had accumulated in
rentals from the commercial
property on Pennsylvania ave-

Residents 10 Protest
Proposed Highway
In ForestViIIe Area

Residents of ForeStville, Md,
will meet tonight to protest pro-
posed construction of a new
controlled-access highway which
they say will cause relocation of
Is ForeStville homes.
The road in question is the
proposed extension of Pennsyl-
vania avenue, part of the Mary
land Roads Commissions 12-
year highway modernization
program. The commission plans
to build a dual-lane extension
of Pennsylvania avenue from the
District line through Boulevard
Heights, Bradbury Park and
Forestville and connect with the
present Marlboro pike, which
also is to be widened and i'm
proved, little north of Andrews
Air Force Base.
The Forestville Citizens Asso-
citation has scheduled a meeting
for 3 o'clock tonight in the For
estville Elementary School to
map opposition to the proposed
highway.
Fred Spinks, association presi-
dent, said State Senator John
Raymond Fletcher, Republican,
of Prince Georges, and County
Commissioner Dan Abbott have
said they will attend. A repre-
sentative of the roads commits
sion has been invited, Mr.. Spinks
said. but no reply has yet been
received.
Mr.. Spinks said his associa-
ton does not believe the new
highway is necessary, because
the Suitland parkway and the
Marlboro pike can handle traffic
in that area. He pointed out
that the proposed Pennsylvania
avenue extension would be
roughly parallel to both those
existing routes-about a mile
south Of Marlboro pike and
about 2 miles north of the park
way.

Virginia Phone Strike
Appears Certain, but
Time Is Indefinite
By the Associased Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 21.-
The threat of a telephone strike
hung over Virginia today. It. no
longer appeared to be question
of whether a strike would come,
but when
Union leaders were silent on
their plans. but officials of the
Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. OF Virginia. apparent
ly thought it would be soon.

which come under the juriSdic-
tion of the Washington tele-
phone union. would not be af-
fected.
(Fairfax County telephone
workers covered by the Rich
mond contract were still on the
job this morning. They are union
employees of the Fairfax, Hern-
don and Vienna exchanges.
Other workers come under the
Washington union.)
Begged down on the issue of
wages, negotiations between the
c. & P. and the CIO Communi-
cations Workers of America COL
lapSed Friday. No date has been
set for a resumption of the talks,
which affect 1000 CWA mem
bers in the State.
Accusations Hurled.
Each side last night accused
the other Of being responsible
for failure of the contract talks,
in progress for several months.
j. Rhodes Mitchell, vice presi-
dent of the C. & P. of Virginia,
said the company wanted an
other meeting today but the
CWA indicated it had mo fur
ther proposal" and broke off
the bargaining sessions.
Mr.. Mitchell said a strike
would have absolutely no justi-
f1cation."
H. w. Jacobson, president of
the. Richmond CWA local, de-
clared that the union asked for
talks over the week end but
c. & P. refused to bargain"
Strike Called Must
Mr.. Jacobson said further
that c. & P. has placed the
union in a position where it must
strike"
Union phone workers in the
State have been working with
out a contract since August Is.
The CWA has been demanding
pay raises of $3.50 to So per
week. The C. & P.'s top offer has
been for increases ranging from
81 to $3.50, which Mr.. Mitchell
said would make the top salary
of c. & P. employees SIT tc
$94.50 for a f1ve-day week, de-
pending where they worked.
In the event of a work SUop-
page, Mr.. Mitchell said c. g. P
will utilize supervisory employees
to keep traffic as near normal
as possible. Long distance calls
will not be affected.
State seizure almost certainly
will follow strike. The COM
monwealth has the power, under
the States public utilities labor
relations act, to seize and
operate any utility paralized by
a strike and numerous times in
the past has exercised the right.
