Less Costly Works Project
Claimed Under Home Rule

The proposed $3O5 million pub
lie works project would cost Dis
trict taxpayers less if it were
financed under a home rule bill,
Sturgis Warner. legislative chair
man of the Washington Home
Rule Committee. said last night.
Mr.. Warner, in a radio talk
over Station WWDC, said that
under home .rule provisions the
District could support the pub
lie works project by the issuance
of tax-free municipal bonds. The
proposal, he said, is more realis-
tic and more acceptable to Con-
gress and better for the District"
THE home rule bill would per-
NIT the limited use of private
financing of municipal bonds in
stead of borrowing from the Fed
eral Government, as it is now
planned.
THE District can borrow by a
private bond issue more cheaply
than it can by borrowing from
the Federal Government" he
said. adding that ''it is fanciful
and unrealiStic" to propose that
all the borrowing be done from
the Government.

Works Plan Stresses
Need Of u. ). Aid

Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner, said last
night that. in presenting the
proposed $305 million Public
Works Program to Congress, the
Commissioners are asking for
recognition of the need for Fed
eral aid to the District.
Addressing the Spring Valley
Wesley Heights Citizens Asso-
citation, Gen. Prentiss said there
is only enough money in the
District general fund now to
complete projects already
started.
Gen. Prentiss cited the mush-
rooming growth of the District
and the rising cost of living dur
ing and after World War II. He
said the small lump sum Fed
eral payment puts an unbear-
able strain on the Districts in
adequate public works system.
I'VE have selected taxes that
would hurt the city the least, ="
he said. He said these taxes
would make the average per
capita tax in the District $144.50
a year. plus water and sewer
charges-a raise of about $1,000
over the present per capita
average.
The meeting was conducted by
Thomas w. McGregor. president,
in the Wesley Heights Com
munity Club. Forty-fifth and

Danaher Endorsed
By 7 Senators for
Appeals Judgeship

A Senate Judiciary Subcoln-
mittee today heard strong in
dorsements and two critics of
President Eisenhower's selection
of former Connecticut Repub-
lican Senator John A. Danaher
as a member of the U. s. Court
of Appeals for the District Of
Columbia.
Action was deferred when
Chairman LANCER announced he
would hold another session in a
day or so to hear other wit
nesses. Another reason for lack
Of action after today's hearing
was lack of a quorum on the
subcommittee.
Judge Danaher already is serv-
ing on the appellate bench under
a recess appointment.

His ability and qualifications
were praised by Senator Purtell,

latter submitted by Milton King.
who said the committees action
was unanimous.
Opposition was voiced by Rob-
ert G. Taylor. a retired banker
OF Media. Pa, now living at 1888
Calvert street NV, who brought
out that Judge Danaher had
been engaged in lobbying activ-
tiles here before his appointment
to the court.
Denies Implication.
Mr.. Taylor complained that
Mr.. Danaher had an advantage
as a lobbyist because as a former
Senator he had the privilege of
going on the Senate floor during
its sessions.
Judge Danaher, however. de-
MED he ever had discussed pend
ing business with Senators in
the Senate chamber. He also
denied a statement by Mr.. Tay-
ior that he had done any lobby
ing for Bolivia.
Another opposition witness
identified himself as the Rev.
Harrison Parker, chancellor of
the Puritan Church-the Church
of america.

Chevy Chase Group
Plans Court Fight
On Pepco Substation

Kenneth N. Parkinson. vice
chairman of the Citizens Com
mittee of Section 4. Chevy
Chase, Md, last night declared
the committee will challenge in
the courts a Montgomery County
Board of Appeals ruling which,
he says. violates covenants
running with the land" in the
section.
Mr.. Parkinson, who will direct
the committees legal fight, said
Section 4 residents had no OPP
ton but to contest the boards
granting of coming exceptions
that conflict with section regu-
lations.
He spoke at the annual tax
meeting of the committee. held
in the Chevy Chase Elementary
School at Rosemary and Valley
streets. More than rs residents
Of the area attended.
Residents Of Section "A mu-
nicipal corporation in Chevy
Chase, bounded on the north
and east, respectively, by East
West highway and Connecticut
avenue - first expressed their
stand at a Board of Appeals
hearing on December 8.
PepcO Satisfaction Involved.
At stake was whether the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. would
be allowed to construct a trans
former substation in the north
east corner of Section ADD
jacent to 1918 East-West high
way and across the street from
the Columbia Golf and Country
Club.
The three-man board, on jan
uary IL, granted the Pepco ap-
plication. The decision declared
the residentially designed struc-
ture would be attractive enough
and sufficiently well Handicapped
to conform to the character of
the neighborhood.
Board members further de-
clared that restrictions or COW
enants running with the land
ARE private matters"
1T is not for this board to
determine their lawfulneSS or en-
forceability." the board declared.
Under an enabling act passed
by the Maryland General As
sembly, the Citizens Committee
of Section 4 is authorized to
adopt regulations regarding,
among other things, sanitation,
buildings and care of property.
Among the building regulations
in effect is one that limits all
structures to use as single family
residential dwellings.
Fears Other Exceptions.
OF the 615 homes in the Sec
tion. Mr.. Parkinson said. none
is other than a Single-family
dwelling. If an electric power
subStation is allowed, he said,
"a shooting gallery might be
next"
The utility's viewpoint was
presented by Robert w. Wilson,
Pepco vice president, and D. F.
Hughes, a company engineer.
The new transformer is
needed, Mr.. Wilson said, be-
cause of low voltage in the area,
caused in great part by in
creased use of electricity in al
ready existing homes.

Brethren, upon the occasion of
your annual meeting" His Holi-
ness wrote. The new letter was
addressed to the Cardinals, Arch
bishops and Bishops gathered at
the Catholic University here for
their annual general meeting.
"A year of effort and accom-
plishment has crowned the noble
resolutions of your last confer
ence, }" the Pontiff continued, "and
as you come together again under
the guiding influence of Gods
Holy Spirit, you will assuredly
draw from this Divine source re-
newed wisdom and courage for
the pursuance of the multiple tasks
which face you collectively and
individually as Bishops in your

politics and government, as avarice
in business and in the professions,
and as paganism in the personal
lives and relations of all too many
men and women. "This people
honors Me with their lins. but
their heart is far from Me-" Mark
7, 81.
Materialism has brought about a
decline in the influence of religion
upon American life. Confusion in
our thinking and a sort of paraly-
sis of the national will have been
the inevitable results of this de-
cline. Here then we have the
source of that weakness which is
causing so much concern to men
of good will. Unless we arrest
this religious decline, unless we
push back the domestic invasion
of materialism, we shall not be
able, as history clearly attests, to
Withstand the enemy from without.
Maferislism is the real enemy,
al home as we'll as abroad. In
IFS varieties there is little differ.
enee Of kind; the difference is
largely one Of degree. Both are
deadly for America. The way of
matter and Of the flesh Is the
way of death; the way of God
and of the spirit is the way Of
life. If we would have life, we
must renew and reaffirm our
Faith in God and irfs His Christ;
We must cling again TO that
Christian moral code which is
the American way Of life at IFS
pUresf and IFS best.
We need Faith, first of all; be-
lief in God and in the Son Whom
He sent us, Jesus Christ. Faith
is the first essential of human liv-
ing. But let us be clear about
what we mean by this wondrous
word. Faith is not a mere emotion.
1t is not a vague sentiment of rev.
erence in the presence of goodness
and beauty, or of awe in the
presence of mystery. Faith has
to do with knowing, not with feel
ing. 1t is knowledge in its highest
and Surest form. Faith is the in
tellectual act by which, under the
influence of grace, we accpet on
the authority of God the truths by
Him revealed.
BY Faith, we know. 1t is a key
to knowledge, to knowledge of the
highest and noblest character. BY
Faith, we rise above the things of
earth and of time and glimpse the
things of heaven and of eternity.
From this high point of vantage,
we sweep the horizon of human
life from origin to destiny, and
make the discovery that God is our
beginning and our end. With
Faith we break through the bar
riers Of nature to the supernatural
vision of grace. How they mis-
understand who consider Faith a
mere pious emotionl II is, instead,
the surest of all forms of cogni-
ton; the word of Him Who knows
unerringly and speaks with truth
because He can neither deceive
nor be deceived. God Himself is
both Revealer and Guarantor of
the truths of Faith.
Let us be clear, too, as to what
we mean when we utter the Sacred
Name of God. Those who have
confused the notion of Faith, have
also falsified the wonder which is
God. To the timid who retreat be-

tlOH OF our own lana as It mas
already attacked the culture Of
others. The tyranny is atheistic
materialism, whether revealed in
communism or in goddess human
ism.
The battle is Joined. If our
nation is to escape the fate of
Poland and of China, of Yugoslavia
and of Hungary, and of so many
others, il we are to survive as a
free Christian nation, then we
must be clear-eyed and we must
be strong. 1t is the blind and the
weak who fall into the pit.
We need, first OF all, TO idenfi.
fY our enemy; TO recognize il for
what II really is. Some see the
enemy only as political state or
group of states, or merely as an
economic sYsfeHf. Spiritual vision
gives better intelligence of the
fact. The enemy is sfheisfic ma
feTialism. Whether IL be en-
frenehed in fhe organs Of for
eign state, or in one Of our own
domestic institutions, IL is sfhe-
istie materialism that seeks TO
destroy US. This is the enemy.
In the second place, we must
be strong. Material strength is
necessary, of course, and its pro-
per organization and disposition
are of immediate urgency. But
material strength, like physical
vision, is not enough. This nation
must look to its spiritual strength.
Our vast physical resources and
eur mastery technical skills will
avail us nothing unless we are
people strong in the faith which
gives purpose to action, and in the
morality which fosters discipline
and courage The true strength
of a Christian nation is in the
power of God which outweighs all
force of arms.
Unfortunately, in recent times
the drift from God and from the
spiritual and supernatural view of
life has seriously weakened this
country. 1t is true that a rise
in church membership has been
reported during the past few years,
but in the light of other evidence,
one is forced to question how
significant such mere statistics may
be. One looks in vain for any cor
responding increase of religions
beneficent influence upon the ma
TONS life. Indeed, the trend in
public and private morality has
been downward; there is an alarm
ing disregard in practice for Gods
teaching and for Gods law. Is
there any need to instance the
growing evils in family life, the
lustful self-indulgence which leads
from birth prevention to divorce,
from broken homes to the broken
lives of youthful delinquents?
Need we adduce in evidence the
appalling circulation of indecent
literature, and the low moral level
of so much of the public enter
tainment in these days?
God Ignored
II is not that the existence of
God is expressly or generally
denied; it is rather that so many
men ignore Him and His law in
their absorption with the material
world which He created. There
is not yet a deliberate turning
away from God, but there is an
excessive preoccupation with crea-
lures. This form Of materialism
reveals itself as SeculariSm in
