w. Davis, one-time Democratic
nominee for President, who adj
vised him that he would be vio-
lating no law in serving as
Secretary of the Army if he
completely eliminates himself
from transactions with the
Stevens company.
On the eve of teday's hearing
Secretary Wilson had issued a
general order, directing all his
subordinates to avoid handling
any transactions with companies
in which they have any financial
interests.
The administration apparent
ly is relying on that order to
overcome the reluctance of many
Senators to vote for Mr.. Stevens
and Mr.. Talbot as long as they
hold any defense company
stocks.
Mr.. Stevens also emphasized
that nearly all Stevens COM
pany business with the armed
services is awarded on open COM
petitive bidding, and that tex
tiles for all branches of the
armed forces since last October
have been purchased by a spe-
cial procurement agency for the
Army, Navy, Air Force and Ma
rineS.
/ Fears Future Results.
/ Aside from the legal factors
Mr.. Stevens said he thought that
forcing him to sell the Stevens
stock would have a bad effect or

eminent.

men to serve their Government.
the requirement of me that I
dispose of my Stevens stock
would have a long and serious
adverse effect on the willingness
uI these successful business ex-
ecutives to serve" said Mr..
Stevens.
AS a matter Of fact. the Davis
legal opinion pointed out that.
even if Mr.. Stevens sold his
42,486 shares of stock in the
Stevens company, he would still
have an interest in other stock
now held in a family trust, over
which he does not have control
and which might be sufficient
to present a question.
There are 100000 shares in
this trust, the income from
which goes to Mr.. Stevens
mother during her life, with pro-
vision that. after her death, one
third of the shares would &C
crue to him.
Complying With Statute"
However, if you completely
eliminate yourself and are COM
pletely eliminated by the Secre-
tary of Defense from all trans
actions with j. P. Stevens g.
Co., Inc, I believe you will be
fully complying with the
statute" concluded the Davis
legal opinion.
Under questioning by Senator
Flanders, Republican. of Ver-
mont, Mr.. Stevens said there is
a distinct difference between his
situation and that of Mr.. Will
son. who was required to sell his
GIN stock before he could be
confirmed. He said Mr.. Wilson,
as Defense Secretary, has a
responsibility over decisions that
he could not delegate, as the
subordinate secretaries could do
under yesterdays directive.

SibIey and AU Officials Meet

gineer Commissioner Louis w.
Prentiss. and John Nolan, jr.,
director Of National Capital
Planning Commission, are the
three council members.
The advisory group shared the
homeowners' view that hospital
activities in the exclusive resi-
dental section would "substan-
TALLY impair" property values
and use.
Citizens, who turned out by
the hundreds for the hearings
earlier this month, argued that
their land value would drop so
per cent if Sibley were allowed
to go through with it's plans.
They also voiced fear that in
creased traffic engendered by a
hospital would endanger the
lives of neighborhood children.
Experts and officials testify
ing for the two institutions, both
operated by the Methodist
church, deprecated the home
owners fears. They countered
that should the hospital plan
be blocked. the value of the uni
versity property would drop.
The citizens commended, more
over. that Sibley would best be
located at its present site, North
Capitol and M streets. or some
where in the Southwest-S South
east section where a greater need
exists.
Area Need Suggested.
! Hospital spokesman argued
that the university area needs a
hospital, whereas three other
hospitals are soon to have a
consolidated plant, and a fourth
is to be built near upper North
Capitol street about a mile from
the present Sibley location.
James c. Wilkes. attorney for
the homeowners, declared that
the university "has been relieved
of a bad bargain" since traffic,
pedestrian and vehicular. gen.
| Grated by the proposed new
building would have had a
"deteriorative effect" on the
campus.
1T is the sincere hope of the
residents" Mr.. Wilkes added,
that they will be able to CO.
operate in the development of
American University as one of
the worlds educational institu-
tons. !"

Following is the text of the
report on the American Univer-
sity case by the Zoning Advisory
Council: whose recommendations
were adopted by the District
Zoning Commission:
"This proposal has been adj
vanced as to time by the Com
mission and made the subject Of
a special hearing at the behest of
several hundred citizens and
property owners of the Spring
Valley and Wesley Heights area.
The property under consideration
involves all Of the "a" restricted
portion of the American Univer-
sity campus which is bounded by
Nebraska, Massachusetts, and
University avenues and lockwood
parkway. The purpose of the Pc
tition is to preclude the setting
aside of some six acres of ground
on the southern portion of the
campus for the erection of hos
pital by the authorities of Sibley
Memorial Hospital Incorporated.
The coming background of this
area shows that in 1920 when
coming was established in the
District of Columbia, the entire
section was classified in the
residential "a" area district
with certain First Commercial
strip coming (since largely re-
moved) along crosS-town streets
including Massachusetts, avenue
and Macomb streets. The "a
area classification initially al
located was at the time the most
restricted coming obtained in the
District of Columbia and per-
mitted in addition to single fam
lily dwellings such other uses as
apartments, flats and rooming
and boarding houses. In 1928
and 1925 following the decision
in the case of Amber Realty
Co. versus Village of Euclid
Oater affirmed by the United
States Supreme Court in 1920
an "a" restricted single family
district was created in the Dis
trict of Columbia and applied
! to much of the land in the
Spring Valley. Wesley Heights
and Palisades area. This was
later extended in 1886 at the
request of property owners and
the VIC. and AN. Miller De-
velopment Co. to include sub
stantially the "a" restricted
plan which now exists. At that

tended, for the past six weeks
to inform you, is the consecre-
ton of our new church at
Friedensthal which took place
on Palm Sunday, March 10th.
The day being beautiful, the
church, which had been suit
ably adorned, was already
filled at half past ten o'clock.
A few minutes before eleven,
His excellency, Governor Fed
derson, lady, and suite arrived,
and took their seats in the
crowded church. The service
opened with the hymn "This
day is holy to the Lord" Then
followed the Litany and pray
er. The text for the sermon
was Psalm 96 verse 9. which
is the inscription on the bell
which for the first time called
US to appear in the house of
God. The building was literal
ly filled with attentive hearers
from the roof to the floor.
There were probably 1900 to
400 persons present, and yet

prevailed"

and hymns brought the ser
vice to a close. The collection
amounted to eighty dollars"
In another letter dated
Sept. 9th of the same year
Rev. Endeman gives reasons
for the erection Of the new
church as follows: Though
the building of t h e new
church at Friedensthal did not
proceed as rapidly as we de-
sired and hoped, the walls
were finished on the 9th OF
June, and in the course Of this
week, DIV. the rafters will be
put up. The building has an
excellent site. It is, outside, "a
1T. by As IT., and will therefore
afford two and one half times
as much room as the old one.
This is quite sufficient for our
present necessities. The prin-
cipal improvement, however,
consists IN the far healthier &
more convenient situation OF
the building. The old church
stands in a gully, and is there
fore, insunportably hot even
when moderately filed"

church was described in an-

Dignity and Economics

Closely connected with free
dom and human dignity is the
right of private property. On
the question of private prop
erty the aforementioned mis-
conceptions of liberty beget
two other extremes: First the
belief that a mans right to
property is absolute, and that
he may do with it what he
pleases, without regard for the
moral law or social justice;
and, secondly, the reactionary
error of communism, which
denies all personal rights and
lodges all property in the
hands of the state.
The Christian position main
tains that the right to property
is personal, while the use of
property is also social. Unre-
strained capitalism makes it's
mistake by divorcing property
rights from social use; COM
munism hits wide of the mark
by considering social use apart
from personal rights.
Much of our economic rest
lessness, however, is the fes-
tering Of mans wounded dig
nifty. Karl Marx himself was
Evening star., 1953-11-22

bond uniting man to man, a
kind of school Of social serv-
ice, a base of human solidar-
ity, a testimonial to mans in
sufflciency without his neigh
Dor. In working with others,
man ratif1es his social de-
pendence and performs an act
of natural charity, because he
helps create utility for others
and thus promotes the happi-
ness of his fellow men. The
Catholic view, it will be noted,
here adds that labor must al
ways be used, not to dissociate
ourselves from our neighbor,
but to unite us with him.
The greater the material ad-
vancement of any country,
therefore, the more energetic
should be it's spirit Of neigh
borlinesS.
Finally, work unites us with
nature. 1t does this by enabl-
ing us to share in the creative
work of God and by making
each of us. in the language of
ST. Paul, "a helper of God"
God, the supreme Artist, has
communicated artistic causal-
1ty to men, so that they can

lished the dignity Of man,
and restored it more won-
drously still. Only by regaining
our reverence for God can
we of America in the goth
century rediscover both our
own value and the solid basis
non which it rests. We must at
the same time expend every
effort to see that this dignity
is reflected in our sense Of
decency, made aware of itself
by education. nurtured by So
ciety, guarded by the state,
stabilized by private owner
ship and exercised through
creative activity.
S The alternative is increasing
chaos. The words of a con-
temporary historian of culture
may serve to summarize the
issues at stake: unless we
find a way to restore the con-
tact between the life of So
ciety and the life of the spirit,
our civilization will be de-
stroyed by forces which it has
had the knowledge to create
but not the wisdom to con-
troll"

alone; every man is sanctif1ed,
made holy, made more worthy
and more honorable by the en-
joyment of the special spiritual
life which flows from the
Cross, or by the possibility
that this life will one day be
his, to raise him above the
limitations of nature. to honor
him in unending union with
the God who became man.
Such is the triple fountain
of mans dignity. To the ex-
tent these truths cease to
energize the sense of reverence
in every man, assaults upon
the majesty of the human per-
son must increase and IN
tensify. Needless thai his
nature has God for it's origin
and destiny, and reason and
revelation for it's divinely COM
missioned guide, man will do
what no other creature can
he will deny his true nature
and will destroy all that is
good within himself.
Evening star., 1953-11-22
Dignity and Society

The practical social theory
Of the last century enthroned
the individual but not the
person. An individual can be
a thing: AS, for instance, an
individual tree; but in virtue
of his rational soul, a person
is more than a thing. Yet
the depersonalized view of
man gained ascendancy and
generated a society which was
criss-cross of individual ego
tisnS, and in which each man
sought his own.
Against this error our GEN.
tury has seen a reaction which
has sought to overcome the
isolation of man from man by
imposing upon rebellious in
dividuals a pattern of COM
pulSory and all-embracing
state organization, with un-
limited power in the hands of
the civil government. Hence,
socialism in it's various guises
has appeared as forcible or
ganization imposed upon the
confusion which resulted from
false concepts of human
freedom.
The Christian concept of
man, however. is that he is
both personal and social. AS
a person he has rights in
dependent of the state: as
a member of society he has
social obligations. Parent and
society contribute to the max
ing of a man, hence man is
indebted to the social order.
At the same time, since his
soul comes not from society
but from God, a man has
