For some time now the Ameri-
can Legion has been supporting
"Back to God" movement through
out the country in the firm belief
that this is a necessary step for each
of us as we seek to utilize the
power available to all of us as part
of Gods creation.
J. Edgar Hoover, F.B.I. Chief,
has made this observation:
"The spectacle of nation pray
ing is more aWeson1e than the ex-
plosion of an atomic bomb. The
force of prayer is greater than any
possible combination of man-con-
trolled powers because prayer is
mans greatest means of tapping
the resources of God"
Contrary to the cynics, man is
essentially religious. Almost with
out exception he believes in Su-
preme Power or Being, although
his definition or "name" for God
may be quite at variance with
yours and mine
A belief in God is truly the
foundation for mans progress; it is
fundamental to his development as
a human personality; it is basic in
his approach to life and the prob
lens of daily living. Without firm
religious devotion, man is check
mated in his progress. Certainly
the verify essence of personal
growth is spiritual. In fact, it is
we'll for us to remember that man
must learn to harmonic his physi-
can and spiritual qualities as he
seeks balance" in his living eX-
periences.
In my opinion, it is not possible
for any of us to go forward in life
without God because He is basic
and fundamental to mans very ex-
istence and personal growth.
When man realizes that dy-
manic faith in God produces re-
suits of great magnitude, then and
only then can he achieve real and
lasting progress.
Going "back to Cod, therefore,
is starting point for any of us as
we seek to go forward with God"
Each of us would do well to
give thought to the American Leg
ions Back to God" movement.

beach at Pawley's Island today
The schooner was sailing
Southward for a Caribbean cruise

haul the schooner of the beach
failed. Another has been Sched-
uled tomorrow.
The schooner ran aground
after its compass had been de-
f1ected by a flashlight lying

Cheverly avenue from Land

Virginia S High Court
To Review Pastors
Contempt Conviction

The Virginia Supreme Court
Of Appeals has agreed to review
the case of the Rev. Ross Allen
Weston, pastor Of the Arlington
Unitarian Church. who was con-
victed of contempt of court for
a sermon in which he criticized
a judge.
Attorneys for Mr.. Weston were
notified yesterday that the high
court had granted a writ of
error in the case. No date for
the hearing was set. and court
officials said it probably would
not come up before June.
Criticized Judge Mccarthy.
Mr.. Weston was found guilty
of contempt and given a 500
suspended fine by Judge j. Hume
Taylor in Arlington Circuit
Court last September IL. Judge
Taylor ordinarily presides over
the Norfolk Law and Chancery
Court. He was called in to hear
the Weston case after Judges
Walter T. Mccarthy and Will
liam D. Medley of Arlington
disqualified themselves.
Judge Mccarthy was the tar
get of the sermon by Mr.. Weston
which prompted the contempt
action. The sermon was about
Judge McCarthy's decision that
Federal employees were ineligible
to hold elected Office in Airing
ton County. The decision sub
sequently was upheld by the
Virginia Supreme Court Of Ap-
peals and as a result three mem
bers Of the County Board were
removed from Office.
Won National Attention.
The contempt case was
brought before the court by Ar
lington Attorney John Locke
Green, outspoken foe Of Arling-
tons non -partisans. The three
Federal employees on the County
Board were members of the nom
partisan movement.

torney William J Hassa1 prose-
cuted the contempt case against
Mr.. Weston.
The case has won national
attention. The Unitarian Minis
terial Association authorized a
special committee to raise funds
to publicize and appeal the con-
viction Of Mr.. Weston.

National Pike Section
| Dedicated at Urbana;
|McKeIdin Rained Out
BY q Staff Correspondent Of The stor

FREDERICK. Md, Jan. a.
The first five-mile section Of the
new Washington National pike
was dedicated today, but Gov.
McKeldin was rained out.
The Governor, who seldom
misses an opportunity to snip a
ribbon and pass out some of his
autographed photos, decided the
weather this morning was f1t only
for dedicating duck ponds.
Actually the sun was shining
by 80 am, when Russell H.
Mccain, chairman of the State
Roads Commission. decided to
Igo ahead without the Governor.
A crowd of about IS officials and
motorists had waited an hour
through intermittent showers
for the Governor to show up.
Ramsburg Pinch Hits.
State Senator Jacob r. Rams

Republican, of Frederick held
the ribbon for him.

Meeting Route Is, just south of
here, with Urbana, near the
Montgomery County border.
The Roads Commission is now
working on a second smile sec
ton from Urbana southwark to
Hyattstown, in Montgomery. It
hopes to open that this summer.
A third section of about the
same length, connecting Hyatts-
town and Clarksburg, is to be
opened by the end of this year,
Mr.. Mccain said.
Until more sections of the new
limited access highway are
opened, the smile stretch dedi-
Gated today will not be Of much
use to motorists, unless they're
out for a Sunday drive.
DetOur Necessary.
Driving from Washington to
Frederick, for example, motor
ist would have to. detour half
mile west off Route 240 at
Urbana to get on the new high
way. When he had driven along
its five miles to the intersection
with Route Is, it would be neces-
sarp to drive up Route Is about
three miles to the old 24O in
order to reach Frederick.
Eventually, the commission
hopes to extend the dual-lane,
limited access road all the way
from Frederick to Washington
at Seven Locks road.
Rights of way already have
been obtained between Frederick
and Route 1l8, Old Germantown
road, in Montgomery County,
Mr.. Mccain said. The pike,
which is a relocation of Route
240 will have by-passes on both
the east and west sides Of Fred

Montgomery Group
Fights Lindsay Law
By Gene Goodwin
Sfar Staff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. "a. - A
ecrappy band Of Montgomery
County Republican legislators
will resume its campaign Mon
day to get the dominantly Demo-
cratic Maryland General Assem-
bly, to repeal the Lindsay law.
That's the law which prevents
Montgomery County from hold
ing non-partisan elections for
the County Council.
Delegate j. Douglas Bradshaw,
chairman of the all-Republican
Montgomery delegation, said the
1858 version Of the Lindsay re-
pealer will be introduced in the
House Of Delegates here tomor-
row.
The Montgomery lawmakers
feel the repeater has a good
chance at passage this session.
They hope to take advantage of
Democratic factional splits re-
sulting from the Republican VIC
tory in Maryland last November.
Similar repeal measures were
unsuccessful in the 1947, 1949
and 1851 sessions.
The Lindsay law was passed
In 1945. when Montgomery
County was entangled in conflict
over adoption of a home-rule
charter and when its delegation
to the Assembly was Democratic.
Mr.. Bradshaw emphasized that
the Lindsay repeal bill is en-
abling legislation. Non-partisan
council elections would not be
mandatory If it passes, he said.
The bill merely would give the
council the authority. either with
or without a referendum, to per-
init non-partiSan candidates..
Also ready for introduction by
the Montgomery group Monday
are bills to-:
l. Allow the county to build
roads through towns. if the towns
consent, and charge abutting
property owners for the costs.
2. Allow county Board of Ap-
peals cases to be appealed all the
way to the Maryland Court of
Appeals. AS it is now, decisions
by the board. which rules on
zoning exceptions and variances,
can only be appealed to the Cir
cult Court.
