Ministerial AnecdOte.
The fall meeting this week Of
the Central Union Missions
Ministerial Council produced
some amusing Sidelights.
One was the explanation by
William H. Ramsey, president
Of the missions Board Of Direc-
tors. as to why he was five min
utes late.
IT just had a long converse
ton on the phone" the octo-
genarian said, land the other
fellow would not get off,"
Debating Swelled Heads.
Maj. Ramsey also had a good
story for debating swelled
heads.
He told Of a young man who
was highly praised at church
dinner. After the meal, he went
home and elatedly repeated the
praise to his mother.
Mother" he finally said, "how
many great men are there in
the world"
His mother thought for a
while, and then replied, II don't
know. John, but it is one less

Summer Camp Obstacles.
Mrs. Herbert E. Eberhardt Is
justly proud of how the sum-
mer Camp Bennett. run by the
mission for children, achieves
many fine results. She also is
equally aware of the many OBJ
stacles to be overcome, includ-
ing attitudes sometimes taken by
the children.
At the Ministerial Council
meeting this week she related
the reaction of one little boy to
the complaints of a fellow
camper.
The second youngster was
complaining because he had to
drink milk. three times a day.
You don't know what you're
talking about" the first one
jumped in. "At home I have

money to my grandmother to
buy food. This is the best eats

The Human Side Of Religion
By cospor Names
Religious News Editor Of The Sfcr

The overwhelming rush of
mid September local church
events firmly shuts the door on
the summer doldrums and pres
ages an unusually busy year
among the congregations here.
A mere listing of things to
take place next week indicates
the widespread activity church
followers may expect in the
coming months.
One Of the highlights next
week will be the conservation Of
Bishop-elect Jerome D. Hannah,
vice rector of Catholic Univer-
sity, as Bishop of Scranton. It
will take place Tuesday at the
Shrine of the Immaculate Con-
ception and the traditional serv-
ice should be both a colorful and
inspiring occasion.
Pastors to Be Installed.
While less elaborate, the in
stallation of several ministers
tomorrow as pastors of local
churches will have great signifi-
canoe not only to the congrega-
tions involved but to the general
Protestant church scene. The
years witness the gradual change
of personnel among the clergy
men here, with familiar faces
being replaced by new ones that
within a short time become
equally familiar. But Washing
ton is widely known as a city
where the ministers stay long
and the congregations change
rapidly. N>
Then there seems to be an I'M
usually heavy number of new
church structures opening this
month This week alone ground
breakings, cornerstone laying
ceremonies and announcements
Of plans to build are greater than
on comparable dates in previous
years.
All in all. the renaissance in
spiritual living throughout the
country is finding ample express
sion in the Nations Capital.
New Book by DIR. ElsOn.
A book that has all the ear
marks of a best seller, "Ameri-
cas- Spiritual Recovery" will go
on the stands next week.
1t is the handiwork of DR..
Edward L. r.. Elson, minister
Of National Presbyterian Church.
j. Edgar Hoover, head of the
FBI. in an interesting intro
duction, praised Dr.. Elson as
zone of the Nations great

Bus Chain Ordinance
Proposed in Baltimore
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. IL. City
Councilman Joseph Bertorelli to-
day said he planned to introduce
an ordinance requiring public
transit buses to use chains dur
ing snowstorms, and proposed an
immediate study Of a much wider
statute in effect in Washington.
The Washington regulation
provides for the arrest of drivers
whose cars stall on major streets
when not equipped with chains
or snow-tread tires.
Mr.. Bertorelli said the pro-
posal to require chains on buses
stemmed from protests that
chainless Baltimore Transit Co.
vehicles stalled during yester-
days storm.
Mr.. Bertorelli said a statute
like Washington's should have
been passed here two years ago
after a sudden storm almost
halted traffic.

Finally the Beria case, with its
accompanying fantastic exhibi-
ton of anti-semitism in the Mos

tailed truth behind it. that the
Communist world lives in the
twilight of medieval intrigue and
deSpotism.
Postponed Democracy.
This reactionary phase of So
Wet development has deep
roots in Russian history, includ-
ing the Soviet period. It is a
result Of modern industrialism
being grated upon a backward
society without democratic ira
ditionS. Soviet leaders postponed
democracy in favor of the secur-
ity of a military regime.
They achieved such great power
in the war that they grew dizzy
with success; they decided that
security was not enough, that
they could move on to world
domination by the same means.
This was a profound historical
mistake.
When I broke with the Com
munist movement for these
reasons, the anti-Communists
invited me into their ranks and
were quite angry when I re-
fused. The organized profess
sional anti Communists are only
an inverted form of the same

have the same unscrupulous
ruthlessness and contempt for

Would Rewrite History.
This camp wants to rewrite
American History: it says the
Anglo -Soviet-American ALLIANCES
in the war was our big mistake.
that those who supported it were
dupes or agents of a Soviet con-
spiracy that America should
have joined Hitler's Axis to crush
the Soviet Union instead of join
ing the Soviet Union to defeat
Hitler.
This idea is the moving force
behind the rise of McCarthyiSm.
1t leads toward atomic war and
the suicide of civilization. After
I broke with the McCarthys Of

New Freeze Awaited
As Northeast Storm
Enters Final Stages
sy The Assoeiassd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The
Northeast's worst storm in five
years was in its final stages to-
day and was moving in north
easterly direction along the New
England coast and out to sea.
However, the Weather Bureau
warned that a wave of freezing
air was waiting to move in on
the area from the Northwest and
Canada as soon as the snow
storm is gone.
More than so deaths were at
tributed to the storm.
Sleet extended as far south as
North Carolina yesterday, with
snow being registered in Georgia.
Highways TreacherOus.
North of Washington, y. c.,
the Sleet coated heavy drifts of
snow with a treacherous icy
surface, crippled traffic and
brought accidents on roads,
streets and sidewalks.
The death toll spiraled with
these accidents, shedding miShaps
and heart attacks as many per-
sons bucked the snow and sleet
afoot or tried to shovel it.
Included in the death toll were
these figures:
Pennsylvania. Is: New Jersey,
IS; Connecticut. z; Massachu-
sets. s.; New York, S; Rhode
Island, 2: Maryland, 2.
Up to a foot of snow piled up
in some places yesterday. Phila-
delphia had 10 inches, it's heavi-
est in seven years. At 7:05 am.
today, the snow had stopped at
Manhattan's Battery, where the
New York Weather Bureau is
located. The bureau said the
total fall then was 10 inches, an
increase of 4 inches since mid
night.
The temperatures plunged,
hitting ~ below zero in one spot
in Maine.
Other Areas Hard Hit.
The northern sections of the
Midwest also reported biting
cold with a low of 80 degrees be-
low zero at International Falls,
MINI. The Arctic air extended
over wide areas of the central
part of the country with sub
zero readings over the Northern
Plains and the Upper Mississippi
Valley. It was around zero in
Chicago.
Strong northerly winds added
discomfort to the cold air in
most Of the Midwest, but only a
few areas reported heavy falls Of
snow. Only light snow was re-
ported in sections of Michigan
and Northern Indiana eastward
into Northern Ohio.
Temperatures were below

linas westward through Southern

Apartment; None Huri

Twenty four families were
driven out of the Cedar Court

fire which caused serious dam
age. No one was hurt.
Slick streets handicapped the
firemen both in reaching the
blaze and fighting it, according
to Battalion Chief L. NJ. Price.
He said this was the reason
a fourth alarm was sounded. In
addition. a local alarm was called
in. and in all IL pieces of appa-
ratus clogged the streets around
the 2l2-story brick apartment
house.
Cause Investigated.
Some of the water thrown on
the blaze froze after it reached
the ground. However, the blaze
was brought under control in an
hour and a quarter. with Chief
Millard Sutton in charge.
The fire. according to Chief
Price. started in Apartment 80,

fered some damage from smoke

All the occupants were ordered
to get out while firemen were
fighting the fire.
The local alarm was called in
at 1902 pm. The first firebox
was sounded a minute later. and
the other three alarms were
pulled at 1910. 1913 and 1924
pm. They brought a total of %
