Senator BeoN Hopes Interior
viii Reoffirm Parkway Stand
Senator Beall, Republican, Of

Senator Beall. Republican, Of
Maryland, said last night he
was hopeful and quite opti-
mistic" that the Interior Depart
ment will reaffirm earlier sup
port it has given to the pro-
posed c. & o. parkway between
Washington and Cumberland.
Md.
In 1850. the department
strongly Endorsed such a roadway
along the historic 185-mile canal
after an intensive study by the
National Park Service and the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads.
Since then, however. officials
have said they were reviewing
the parkway question. except
for a 58-mile stretch between
Cumberland and Hancock. Md.
The Maryland Legislature al
ready has agreed to provide addi-
nonal land for the Cumberland
Hancock stretch. Studies lead
ing toward construction of the
parkway there are under way.
Bought Right-of-Way in 1888.
Following is the status of the
controversial parkway and the
way it has been proposed:
In 1888. the Federal Govern
ment bought the 185-mile canal
right-of-way. The 5.200-acre &C
QUESTION has an average width
Of about $50 feet. In some places,
however. its width consists of
only the towpath and canal and
in others is quite wide.
In the years Immediately after
1888, the 23-mile section be-
tween Georgetown and Seneca
was restored by the Park Serv-
ice as a recreation area. Little
has been done to the rest of the
route.
In 1913, Congress ordered the
Park Service and roads bureau
to study the feasibility and de-
STABILITY of building a parkway
over the entire right-of-way.
The land originally had been &C
quired for park and parkway
purposes. and 1t had always
been contemplated that a road
way would be built there. off,
Gals said.
The study report found such a
parkway would be feasible. would
cost about SIT million and had
"a great potential value" 1t also
outlined ways to develop ada
cent recreation areas and to re-
store the canal and the historic
structures that line it. The re-
port proposed that Maryland
provide additional lands needed
along the route.
TwO-Lane Highway.
In a letter transmitting the re-
port to Congress in 1850, Dale E.
Doty. then Assistant Secretary
of the Interior, said he concurred
with the report and with a belief
that such a parkway would be
both practical and advisable in
addition to being economical to
construct
Park officials said it was in
tended that the road would be
a two-lane highway, similar in

Probe Nightmare
Seen as SHAKING
Faith in Freedom

The nightmare" Of recent
senatorial investigations has
done much to make men ques-
ton their faith in freedom. So
young ministers being graduated
from the Theological Seminary
in Virginia were told yesterday
in Alexandria.
In a commencement address,
DR.. George Thomas, chairman
Of the Department Of the Reli-
gion Of Princeton University,
said:
THE readiness to use any
means to obtain ones ends, even
lying and vilification, has led to
complete disregard Of the dignity
and rights Of many Of our fellow
citizens"
Without naming names. the
professor said "the sordid and
shameful spectacle Of the last
year or more" in Washington is
q challenge to Christian men to
renew the faith Of those around
them in Christian principles. AZ
terwards. he said he was refer
ring to Senator Mccarthy.
Points to CreduIity.
The credulity Of large num-
bers of our people," DR.. Thomas
said. land their unwillingness to
discriminate between truth and
error have been demonstrated
during the nightmare of sena-
torial investigations through
which we have been passing"
But he told the graduates
there has never been a time
Of greater need or opportunity
in our church"
Young ministers should face
this opportunity in q spirit of
sobriety, instead Of dreaming up
grandiose plans to change the
whole world. We would do well
to set our hands quietly to the
things that need to be done
here and now"
Sobriety of thought, however,
he declared, does not rule out
bold and creative activity.
"The Christian clergyman is
not called upon to be a timid
and inofenSive creature. He is
called to be transformed by his
faith, and then, in the power
Of his new life, to transform
the lives Of those around him"
Brother Bishops HOnored.
Two brothers who are both
Episcopal bishops and both grad
yates Of the seminary received
honorary doctors of divinity de-
grees during the ceremonies yes
terday. The Right Rev. William
H. Marmion. 46, bishop of South
western Virginia. and his brother,
the Right Rev. Gresham Mar
mion. 48, Bishop of Kentucky,
were among six clergymen to re-
ceive the highest academic honor
Of the church.
The degree also was conferred
on the Rev. Gray Blandy, dean
Of the Episcopal Seminary of the
Southwest at Austin, Tex; the
Rev. Matthew M. Warren, head
master Of st. Paul's School, Con-
cord, N. H.; the Right Rev.
George Murray. Suffragen Bishop
OF Alabama. and the Rev. Or
lando BaptiSta, dean of the Epis-
copal Seminary at Porto Allegro,
Brazil.
Two Alexandra brothers in
the graduating class, George and
Philip zabriskie, 20 and 27 years
old, were to be ordained today,
after being presented at the lay
tng-on-of-hands ritual by their
father. the Rev. A. c. Zabriskie,
dean OF the seminary from 1910
to 1850 and q teacher there for
20 years.
