Set of Standards Is
Sought by 4 Groups
For Education Board

An eight-point "set of stand
ards"for new members of the
Board of Education has been
adopted by four school-minded
organizations.
Montgomery Countians will be
called on for the first time in

full Board of Education of seven

Gen, F. w. Browne, acting as
spokesman for the groups, point
ed out:
I'm the absence of organiza-
tons to propose names of candi-
dates, the voter who is interested
in the maintenance of the public
schools is likely to find himself
operating in vacuum unless the
facilities of existing non-partisan
organizations can be utilized"
Representatives of the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation,
the Montgomery County Council
of PTAs, the Federation of PTAs
of Negro Schools and the Mont
gomery County Council of Co
operative Nursery Schools held a
series of meetings to set up their
standards" Gen. Browne said.
Gen. Browne was elected chair
man ofsthe group. Mr.. Seymour
S. Berlin was chosen vice chair
man; Mrs. Carl Burmese, cores
ponding secretary, and Mrs.
Stanney E. Cohen, recording sec.
rotary.
These are the Standards" the
group decided any member of
the coming Board of Education
should meet:
Il. A firm belief in public
school education with the realiza-
ton that his first responsibility
as member of the Board of
Education will be the fulfillment
of the educational needs of the
children of Montgomery County.
20. The avowed intention of
representing impartially all the
people of the community rather
than any special interests.

Ex-Dip|omat Reber
Refuses 10 Inject Self
Into Mccarthy Issue
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, April 23.-Sam-
uel Reber, a retired veteran
United States diplomat. refused
last night to inject himself into
an issue he said was between
the Army and Senator McCar-
thy, Republican, of Wisconsin.
Senator Mccarthy implied by
questions at the Senate Investi-
cations subcommittee's opening
hearing in Washington that Mr..
Reber was dropped" or allowed
to resign" from the State De-
partment because of security
risk charges growing out Of in
vestigations by the Mccarthy
committee.
OF this, Mr.. Reber said:
when I reached the statutory
retirement age, I asked for re-
tirement and permission was
granted.
Has little to Say"
IT think this is an issue be-
tween the Army and Mccarthy
and therefore I have very little
to say on the subject.
II don't want to inject myself
into it,"
Senator Mccarthy also de-
clared Mr.. Reber had repeat
edly made attacks" on Roy Cohn
and G. David Schine, McCar-
thy Committee Aides, during
their trip to Europe last year,
inspecting American libraries.
II think enough has been said
about that to make them realize
it's completely extraneous to
this ISSUE" Mr.. Reber asserted.
At that time, MI. Reber was
acting high commissioner for
Germany.
"Cohn and Schine attacked
one of my men and naturally I
defended him." Mr.. Reber said.
Brother Questioned.
One of those criticized by Mr..
Cohn and Mr.. Schine was Theo-
dore Kaghan, then acting dep
uty chief of the high commits
sioner's public affairs Office. Mr..
Kaghan later resigned after a
hearing before Senator Nc
Carthy.
Mr.. Reber was brought into
the hearing when Senator Nc
Carthy was questioning Mr..
Reber's brother, Gen. Miles
Reber. The diplomats brother
said he never heard of any such
security charges. The general
said his brother retired "as he
was entitled to do by law, upon
reaching the age of So"
A State Department spokes-
man told newsmen only that
records show Mr.. Reber "volun-
tarily retired" The spokesman
said he couldn't say any more.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, April
23.-Over heated objections from
defense attorneys. the prosecu-
ton in the trial of Leonard
Long and Frederick Carpenter
offered in evidence today ac-
count books of some of Longs
corporations.
Prosecuting attorneys said
they would seek to prove that

w. G. Waldron, was fraudulent
and fictitious" The defense at
torneys objected to admission of
the books on grounds that they
were immaterial to the trial.

tractor, and Carpenter, former
head of the Federal Housing
Administration here, are charged
with conspiring to defraud the
United States Government in
connection with a low-cost
housing project built here by

After the court approved ad-
mission of the books. Raul
Otero, present secretary of
Longs construction company
here, testified that the account
under the name of G. w. Wal
dron was actually Longs per-
Sonal account.
Mr.. Otero said money was
withdrawn from that account
through checks which were
cashed by several persons. but
the funds were actually turned
over to Long. He said a total
of 1922, 900 was taken in through
that account.
In objecting to the admission
of the books as evidence. defense
attorneys said they could ex-
tplain every entry.

The general impression the
theologians, who have been BAN
dying about Kirkegaard's "leap
of faith wish to convey, is that,
by means of such a leap, we can
retrieve the traditional spirit of
religion.
Nothing of the kind. Bitahon
or emunah Crust or faith), as
used in tradition, had not the
least suggestion of taking any
"leap" or risk. On the contrary,
the mere suggestion of risk or
venture would have been con-
sidered a lack of faith. Man was
expected to trust in God as a child
who holds his fathers hand.
It was Pascal who introduced
the notion that belief in God was
like taking a chance or gamble.
Kierkegaard merely used a more
esthetic analogy to express this
new unbiblical notion of faith.
