He had this to say:
Throughout the American
Legion convention, we at the
Willard were hosts to as many
Legionnaires and their families
as we could accommodate.
I'm addition to being a we'll
hammered group, the Legion
naires provided us with more
revenue than we received from
the Inaugural festivities in 1858,
or on any other occasion. Our
Willard Room, Crystal Room.
Round Robin cocktail lounge
and Rendezvous coffee shop
were extremely well patronized.
I'VE like the Legionnaires and
hope they will pay us another
visit SOON"
More Than Dollar Gain.
Herbert c. Blunck, manager
of the Statler Hotel and
president of the Hotel Associa-
ton of Washington, is among
those who think the city gained
more from the convention than
can be measured by dollars. He
said:
II think the hotel men of
Washington were delighted to
have the Legion come here dur
ing the summer period. The fact
that many in moderate circum-
stances brought their families.
which may have resulted in less
expenditure per person than the
usual convention, was certainly
offset by the new friends we
made for our Capital City. Here
was a convention composed of
the cross section of America.
"We showed our city to thou
sands of people who otherwise
wouldn't have come. I think
when you bring in 100000 peo-
pie, it leaves the city not only
money but good will. There were
no problems. They were a won-
derful group of people"
Robert j. Wilson, executive
secretary of the Washington
Restaurant Association, acknowl-
edged some restaurants did less
business than they had expected
but added that others did very
well.
Expected Too Much.
Though our restaurants cid
not get as much business as they
anticipated" he said. "the Amer !
ican Legion convention did bring
much business to the community. |
Our people just expected too
much.
"A great many of our regular
customers stayed away. antici-
pating the visiting crowds. They
should not have done that, as
we are prepared to take care of
both the regulars and the visi-
tors.
We'll be reaping business
from now on because of this
convention, with the advertis-
ing given the city and the res
taurantS."
Richard D. Gibbs, secretary
of the Peoples drugstore chain,
commented:
I'D say we didn't benefit too
much from the convention. Per-
haps 1t was a little better than
an average week, but hardly
noticeable. There were some ex-
ira sales in downtown stores,
but, if anything, business was
hurt a little on Tuesday, the
parade day. =.
Wants Legion Back.
But I'd like to see the Legion
come back every year. It's a
good thing for the city, It will
help a lot, because the conven-
ton left a certain amount of
in town that turns over
several times before it goes out
of circulation"
The liquor dealers, however,
were still disappointed. Cab
also complained that too
many of the visitors elected to
walk and ride buses.
Hilliard Schulberg. executive
director of the Washington Re-
tail Liquor Dealers Association,
said this:
About the most charitable
way I could put it is that we
equaled an average days busi-
ness. Our business city-wide was
of. Some downtown stores say
business was OF because many
regular customers stayed away"

"IfIB Be Lifted Up"

The third If is in the saying eff
l be lifted up l will draw all men
unto me-" We may suppose a hard
boiled practical man of today, or
of Jesus day,-possibly Judas was
such person-asking Jesus, Just
why do you go on with this idea of
the cross? Why let yourself in for
trouble? What do you get out of it?
If we let Jesus speak for himself,
we know that he no more went to
the cross to get something out of
it for himself than he did any
thing else for selfish reasons. He
did not live, he did not die. for
his own benefit His life and his
death were all of one piece: his
death was but the final outpouring
of a life that had been pouring
itself out into others and for others.
from the beginning. He did not
go through Gethsemane and Cal
vary in order to be praised, or to
acquire merit. or to win a place
among the world S heroes. He went
to the cross, as he had lived every
day, to draw all men" to him
self.

"IfIt Dies"

Many Ifs of the Bible can well be
expressed in the words 'Only
when !" Three times Jesus used
that fateful word in the hours when
he was face to face with his des-
tiny. when he was facing the Cross
These Ifs had to do with himself,
they also had to do with his
friends. Not only his friends there
and then. but now and herein
short, with every Christian. One of
these Ifs is in his saying about the
grain of wheat. Save the grain,
cover it with protective varnish.
keep it in a tin box. put it in d

grain but you will destroy its life.
there will be no other grains Put

meant that for himself: if he had
refused the cross he would not

Another If is in the saying, IF
any one serves me, he must follow
me. Jesus did not mean follow
at long and respectful distance.
He meant to climb where he
climbed, dare what he dared.
Jesus had put this in even strong
er words some time before. His
follower. he said, must take his
own cross every day and follow
Him. Christians are rather too
fond of looking at the cross. and
letting their Christianity go at that.
But the Christian life is not like
looking at a show. not even at a
tragedy. We see the cross in every
Christian church somewhere. per-
haps even the building is in the
shape of a cross. But what Jesus
asked for in his followers was not
a cross before their eyes but a
cross in their lives. To put it quite
simply: Christian life, when it is
real, is a life of sacrifice for
others. It is a life in which self
comes last. not first. A doctor said
TO his patient: Il think most peo-
pie are Christians. don't your"
That depends on what you mean
by Christian! If you mean by that,
some one who admires Jesus, yes.
most people are Christians. But if
you mean what Jesus meant, one
who actually follows Jesus, how
many Christians are Christian2

Presbyferians viii Get
Anti Segregation Plan
BY the As.oeicssd Press

ATLANTA. May 14.-Proposals
for abolition Of segregation
within the Presbyterian Church,
U. S., will be presented to the
49th General Assembly Of the
denomination in Montreal, N. c.,
on May q.
The church will be asked to
"lead rather than follow" in the
move to end segregation in a
report submitted by the Division
of Christian Relations, Board Of
Church Extension.
The report is the result Of a
study directed by the general
assembly itself in 1858.
If approved, the proposals
would not be compulsory on local
congregations. The general as
sembly can urge changes in edu-
cational and cultural patterns
but cannot direct that they be
made.
The assembly will be asked
to affirm that enforced segrega-
ton is discrimination which is
out of harmony with christian
theology and ethics.
