Spires Of the Spirit
You

There is nothing more unique in all
this universe than YOU. There never
has been another you and there never
will be. "Can you tell me-" said
teacher to the youngsters in front Of
her, on the first day of school. Can
you tell me something that is here
now which was not here 100 years
ago." She really had in mind an
electric light bulb nearby. Up went
the hand of little lad eager to answer.
Said the teacher, "All right, Johnny.
tell me and the class something that
is here now and was not here 100 years
ago." Quickly. he fairly shouted in
reply, MEL" OF course!
There are no two stones alike, nor
leaves, nor persons. The mold was
thrown away when you were fashioned.
The fatal fallacy of the totalitarians
which one day will tumble over that
crazy conception is the theory that
every bundle of humanity must be put
through the wringer of conformity. It
is a sight to make the angels weep
to see the most sacred thing on earth.
human individuality, flattened out and
cut to At the pattern designed by the
State.
OF course, we are wildly aware that
our "I" does not exist on an otherwise
uninhabited island. Life faces us with
two absolutely essential considerations.
how to get along with ourselves and
how to get along with other people.
Like the youth of so long ago who
left home and went into the far coun-
try, and dragged his glory in the mire
of dissipation, no one starts really to
get along with other people until he
comes to himself. The trouble with
the so-called prodigal son was that
his real ''you' was buried amid the
debris and rubbish of unworthy urges
and desires. The very expression in
the matchless story, "He came to him
SELF" suggests the profound truth that
the foolish self. the greedy self, the
lustful self, the self -assertive self were
but spurious coverings hiding the true
self. The solution for the salvage OF
his wasted life was not to do violence
to himself but, rather to find it.
There is a cynical saying, Neither
an egg or an ego is any good until it is
broken" Jesus master of men, who
knew our human nature as no other,
never went on that suppoSition. He
came not to destroy. but to seek and
find and save. He knew the hidden
YOU had in it good material that
could be released and redeemed. AL

Joseph Hudnut, distinguished member of
the Fine Arts Commission, and the inter-
views with some of his commission col
leagues by Star reporter George Beveridge
indicate very plainly that the central area
Potomac Bridge location, although author
ized now by Congress- is far from being
permanently settled.
In The Stars opinion, DR.. Hudnut and
his colleagues have raised some interesting
questions. They point out, as others have
pointed out, that the bridge, In order to
avoid the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Is
land, will come within 1000 feet of the
Memorial Bridge. DR.. Hudnut believes its
construction would destroy the most beau
tiful civic landscape in America" The
Star is printing an unusual photograph of
this area in today's paper, and that photo
graph is adequate amplification of what DR..
Hudnut is talking about.
There is a certain ironic humor, of
course, in the fact that DR.. Hudnut and
some of his brethren are now suggesting
that if the bridge dispute cannot be re-
solved by tunnel, the bridge should either
90 over the Roosevelt Island, or use part
of the island as connecting highway be-
tween two bridge spans For the Fine Arts
Commission helped to kill the original plan
to pass the bridge over Roosevelt Memorial
Island If this attitude amounts to candid
admission of error, however, it is an ad-
mirable attitude. A bridge over Roosevelt
Memorial Island would not detract in the
slightest degree from the use of that island
as memorial. And the alternative is
bridge that might injure in far greater de-
gree the setting of the Lincoln Memorial
and the Memorial Bridge-two of the finest
monuments in the world.
DR.. Hudnut thinks tunnel is the most
sensible solution of all. The tunnel would
be expensive-three times as costly as a
bridge. But if this is the solution, the
extra cost would be justif1able charge
against Federal funds, and understood as
the price of protecting great memorials
already established as embellishments or
the National Capital.
The location authorized by Congress,
and soon to be under study for bridge
design by consultants, was the result of a
compromise between the District Highway
authorities and the Park and Planning
Commission, largely engineered by Senator
Case. Congress approved it, and only Con-
greSS now can change it. When the de-
signs for the bridge are completed, as re-
quired under Congressional mandate, the
next question will relate to appropriations
necessary to carry out the design. While
members of the Fine Arts Commission may
be putting themselves in the position of
trying to lock the stable after the horse
is gone, there is the possibility the Congress
after hearing the commissions alterna-
tive suggestions-will give the matter some
study 1t deserves it. Roosevelt Memorial
Island is apt to be hurt more than it can
be helped by the present plans, in addition
to the effect upon the Lincoln Memorial
and Memorial Bridge, and the Roosevelt
Memorial Association may join the Fine
Arts Commission in inviting reconsidera-

Bridge Question Revived
(See Editorial: "Belated Discovery


BY an act of Congress voted in the
closing days of the last session the
construction of new bridge over the
Potomac River in the city OF Washing
ton has been authorized. The site
proposed for this bridge by the engi-
neers who will build it lies parallel to
the Arlington Memorial Bridge and
approximately 1900 feet to the north.
If built on this site this new bridge will
destroy the most beautiful civic land
scape in America.
Over distance Of nearly mile north
of the Memorial Bridge the river flows
between banks covered with meadows
and woodland. To the east these screen
the city; to the west they are crowned
by the hills Of the Arlington Cemetery;
to the north lies the wooded island
given to the Nation as memorial to
Theodore Roosevelt; and together these
form a setting of incompatible splendor
for the Lincoln Memorial, set on its
noble pedestal above the fine arches OF
the bridge.
President Eisenhower signed the act
which authorized this construction. He
could not have been aware of the devas-
tation which he appeared to sanction.
If it is necessary to provide an addi-
tional thoroughfare between the Vir-
ginia suburbs and the center OF Wash
ington, this should be accomplished by
means of tunnel under the river. Such
a tunnel would be costly, but its cost
would not be incommensurate with the
loss which will be ours If this bridge is
built.
Nor would it be incommensurate with
the resources of this Nation or the
dignity Of the capital city. This land
scape, unique collaboration Of nature,
art and history. belongs not to the
city of Washington but to the American
people. 1t belongs also to those coming

Five Million Soldiers on Formoso?

I read with considerable interest the
article by Constantine Brown on Sep
tember % in which he gave very full
some Endorsement to the new book by
General Willoughby on General Mac
Arthur's activities. 1941-l951.
It was not clear from Mr.. Browns
article whether the comment that
Chang Kai-shek has five million men
in Formosa was due to General Will
loughby's carelessness with statistics or
just due to Mr. Browns exuberance' to
defend both Chang Kai-shek and
General Macarthur. We have heard
some very exaggerated estimates Of the
number Of fighting men available to
Chang Kai-shek on FormoSa but this
is the first time I have ever seen q
figure of five million. To the best of
my knowledge the total population OF
FormoSa at the time General Mac
Arthur was retreating from northern
Korea was about eight million people.
Obviously somebody's excitement or
carelesSness with figures accounts for the
impossible report that there were five
million soldiers available in FormoSa
when President Truman "neutraliZed"
Chang Kai-shek. incidentally, hasn't
it been remarkable that Chang Kali
shek since unleashed by President
Eisenhower in January 1853 has &C
complished SO little by way Of o return
to the mainland?

central problem of the YOU whose

water in the sea cannot sink a ship
unless it gets inside the ship. All the
evil in the world cannot defile you un-
less it gets inside your mind. All the
crookedneSs and corruption in the
world cannot contaminate you unless
it gets inside your own skin and cor
rodes your own soul. The ultimate
solution for all the problems that are
vexing the world will be found in
changed individuals. Communism is
out on a world scale to hquidate one
class and put another unchanged class
at the top Of the heap. Socialism OF
various brands, often sincere enough
in its attempts to eliminate exploita-
ton and to bring more Of the good
things Of life to more people, is still
dealing with unchecked selfiShness
which will wreck any social scheme.
often in capitalism sorry attempts,
doomed to futility, are being made
with legislative bricks to build an al
truistic edifice on the sinking sands
Of unchanged individuals. The only
escape from catastrophe Is changed
human nature.
Jesus still is ahead of all our frantic
attempts to face these times which are
out of joint. For, as He fronts the
deepest needs of the individual and Of
society, He insists that the YOU must

2. How long does the heart beat

8. How long does one continue Civ

4. Why do victims of electrical shocl

5. How can one tell if a victim il
