OF the church. He added that free

basic concept in our form Of goV-
ernment.

Good Way to Relax During Tense Month

Z
THE New York Avenue Presbyterian
= Church, which Abraham Lincoln
attended when he was President, has
had ministers who were unusually able
men. One Of these was DR.. Joseph r.
Sizoo, now professor .of religion at
George Washington University.
While DR.. Sizoo was minister Of the
church where Lincoln had worshipped,
he told his Sunday school teachers at
a December meeting: During Decem-
ber l always do three things. Every
day ] read the story of the Nativity as
told by St Luke. I read Dickens Christ
mas Carol and listen to the singing
Of the Messiah by Handel"
Doing these three things can help
one keep better perspective during q

To think about the world in the days
Of st. Luke, about 1000 years ago. is
a worthwhile experience. The common
people lived simply. travelled little and
usually on foot The style Of their cloth
ing. the foods they ate, and the houses
they lived in had changed little in many
centuries. Our times are characterized
by speed, power. and cemplexity Of

Question for Congress

1t was dark and disturbing picture
OF sloW-motion judicial machinery which
The Star revealed in its news columns yes
terday. The tagging justice described in
an article by Miriam Gutenberg is not con-
fined to particular court. The unfortunate
condition prevails from the appellate level
on down to the lower courts Of the District.
Nor is it fair to blame the judges, the
court staffs or the prosecutors. The Stars
study showed that all are striving earnestly
to carry their shares of the load. The trou-
BILE seems to boil down to ''too much work
and too little money" Here is a problem
with which the new Congress ought to con-
Germ itself at the first opportunity
There is no need to review here the
sorry aspects Of the overall court scene
as unfolded in the special article. Worth
repetition, however, is the list of urgent
needs Of the local courts, beginning with
the number one recommendation Of the
iudges-a three-judge family court or, In
lieu thereof, three additional District Court
judges. The other needs are: Larger STATS
for the appellate and District courts, more
prosecutors and other personnel for the
United States attorney, more deputy mar
shals to keep pace with process-serving
requirements, more probation officers and
Redistribution of court employees to make
the pay more attractive and reduce the
turnover of staff. And 1t bears repeating
that all of these Improvements could be
effected for an estimated total cost of $685.

Nelson 7. Johnson

Born In Washington and educated here,
Nelson TruSler johnson won the notice of
Secretary Of State Elihu Root at an early
age and that fact undoubtedly had some
thing to do with his successful career in
the Foreign Service fom 1907 to 1852 BY
1918 he was an acknowledged expert on
Far Eastern affairs. President Hoover made
him Minister to China in 1929 and President
Roosevelt raised him to ambassadorial rank
In 1885. his tenure lasting until l941
Mr.. Johnson admittedly was acquainted
with the Chinese terrain and the Chinese
community as no previous American diplo-
mat had been. His knowledge Of the Ian
guages and dialects Of China was accurate
and profound. He journeyed over thousands
Of miles Of the Chinese countryside, and it
was characteristic Of him on these travels
that he carried volume OF Confucius in
one pocket and "Alice in Wonderland" in
another. A master Of detail, he likewise
was great expositor OF accumulated knowl-
edge, relying often on his natural sense Of
humor 10 illustrate point. Careful and
thoughtful, he was possessed Of few dogmaS,
but those he did entertain were tested and
tried. Thus he could and did move from
position to position without diflculty. His
term as Ambassador to Australia gave him
new opportunities TO test his stores of gar
nered wisdom, and he left Canberra as he
had left Peiping, with record OF solid
achievement as his monument.
Even after his retirement Mr.. Johnson
was busy with tasks worth doing. Just
recently he was elected vice president of
Gallaudet College and asked to be allowed
to preside over the curriculum committee
where his interest In education might be
helpful He had been trustee at Sidwell
Friends School, too. AT the Cosmos Club,
when the news Of his death was announced,
it was said Of him: He was superb per-
son." The sentiment thus expressed has
been echoed by hundreds, including many
who were strangers to him yet came within
. his orbit and were happy In so doing.
