Bethesda Traffic
Plan Drafted

A new plan to ease traffic flow
In Bethesda and to expand the

ed by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Arthur K. Stellhorn. planning
engineer for the commission,
said today he expects the plan
will be completed in about six
weeks.
As drafted. 1t calls for the
widening and extension of Wav-
erly street from Bradley lane
to East-West highway.
Preliminary estimates of the
cost amount to about $3.50 900.
roughly one-fourth of the esti-
mated cost Of a plan rejected
early in the summer by the
County Council. That proposal
would have used Pearl street as
an alternate artery to relieve
traffic congestion on Wisconsin
avenue.
The Pearl street project, which
was sponsored by the Bethesda
Chamber Of Commerce, was OPP
posed by civic groups which
argued that 1t invaded residen-
tial areas.
Under the Waverly street plan
q new overpass would be built
over the Baltimore & Ohio
tracks. New parking lots would
be created and the area zoned
for business would be broadened
to take IN the space between
Waverly street and Wisconsin
avenue.
Robert Furman, president Of
the Chamber Of Commerce, said
the chamber had pot been con-
suited on the plan but asserted
it appeared to offer q solution
to the traffic problem. ..

Delay in Madison Schoo|
Additions Criticized

The Falls Church School Board
last night heard one of its men,
bers criticize the delay in getting
additions to Madison Elementary
School under way and listened
to a plan calling for maximum
utilization of the 26-acre George
Mason Junior : Senior Hig h
School site as a center of COM
munity activity.
Oliver Caldwell, member of the
board. said he saw no reason why
additions to Madison should be
held up until we find out how
much money there will be left
over from project now stalled
lat George Mason Junior Senior
High School,"
Board Vice Chairman Richard
L. Saintsing, however, said that
the suggestion of holding up the
Madison work was never brought
up at a board meeting.
At George Mason, where a
cafeteria and nine classroom adj
ditions are proposed. work has
been stalled after the State
Board of Education turned down
plans for the project because
they do not include a library
addition.
Mr.. Caldwell presented the
group with a suggestion calling
for master plan to be made for
the entire 26 acres at George
Mason. which would include in 1t
ia swimming pool and auditorium.
HE contended the lack of a basic
plan has hampered development
Iof the plot.
Chairman John A. Johnson
admitted that a basic plan for

alton that someone wanted to

insisted the proposal was held
up for months until a rough plan

Board members agreed infor-
mally to investigate later the

Meanwhile, the board reported
progress on a drive to get a part

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Pirate Schools Help Taxpayer
WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON - The savings
which nOn-puhlic schools effect
for the American taxpayer are
more evident than ever, as a
result of hearings held here.
1t has long been known, Of
course. that, because non-public
schools exist, taxpayers in gem
eral have been relieved of con
siderable burden in school con
struction costs. II has also been
known there has been saving
in the everyday operating ex!
penses of schools.
But at the moment, the en-
phasis is on shortages in class
rooms in which to house a grow
ing number of pupils. 1t has been
made clear here that this prob
lem would be much more severe
than il is, we're it not that there
are non-publie schools.
These facts are to the fore
again, because of hearings the
House of Representatives Com
mittee on Education and Labor
has been holding on three bills
calculated to implement the Ad-
ministration's program for the
relief of classroom shortages.

categories was 81, ,728, 900, 900.
In 1854 private elementary
and secondary school construc-
tion cost $3.50, 100000, while pub
lie school building amounted to
$2,065, 900, 900.
Government authorities esti-
mate that non.public school con-
struction in 1855 will be between
III and % per cent higher than
in 1854. They also estimate that
the public school construction
expenditure will not exceed last
year, but that the percentage
increase will not be as great as
in the n0n-public school field.
These figures relate only to
brick and mortar. Educators also
have a cost known as current
expenditures" which includes
light, heat, teachers salaries,
etc. There are roughly 100000
enrollees in Catholic schools of
all categories in the United
States. If the current expendi-
sture" cost were put at some
thing under a dollar per day,
say a little less than rs cents
per day, Catholic parents pay out

that officials have revised down
ward their estimate of the num-
Der of classrooms that the ma
tion will be short in 1860. At
that time, she said, we will still
need 10000 classrooms, instead
of 407, 900 ciassrooms AS earlier
reported. This more optimistic
picture has been due, in part, to
the fact classroom construction
has lately increased to 10000
units a year, instead of previ-
Gus rate of $4,000 a year.

the Congressman that these
construction figures do not in

ed that the nonrpublic schools

Power for the sovereignty and

The whole history of the past
twenty years, from Yalta to For

man the brazenness of these dec
larations.
Eye-opsning Statements
What of the United States? II
is presented in the following
words: THE military alliances
Of the United States has conclud-
ed with the Chang Kai.shek ruff
fans and the Syngman Rhee
clio lie are really designed To give
formal sanction 10 its seizure OF
Chinese and Korean territories.
That is an eye-opening state
ment. For it clearly says that
Moscow will not be content with
taking over Quemoy, Matsu, and
Formosa. 1t also has its eyes on
the whole of Korea. Any surren-
der in regard to Chang Kai-
shek by the United States will
open the way to the advance of
Soviet designs against Korea.
But we learn further: Wash
ington is no believer in respect
for sovereignty and independ-
ence, it is perpetually violating
the rights and interests of other

eighty and independence of the

people refer to dirty stories
when they are speaking of I'M
couth, vulgar or only slightly i'm
modest stories. Christian modes
ty would avoid even such but
they are less serious than inn
pure stories and may sometimes
be simply offensive to good taste
and not sinful at all.
Q. | read Somelehere recent
IN that the Mornons claim 10
trace their origin back TO the
time of Christ and eUen to the
Old Testament. What's the
truth?
A. A number of Secis like TO
claim an origin which is more
ancient than that which history
assigns to them. The Church OF
Jesus Christ of the Latter Day
Saints (Mormons) is Protestant
sect founded by Joseph Smith at
Fayette, New York, in 1880. AT
ter Smiths death at the hands
of a mob in Carthage. Illinois,
in 1874, Brigham Young was
chosen president of the church
and established headquarters in
Salt Lake Valley, Utah. There is
a dissident branch called the Re-
organized Church. The Mormons
believe in the Bible and in the
Book of Mormon considered a
revelation of the prophet Nor
NOM. They have higher priest
hood (Melchizedek) and the Aar.
onic which is mainly concerned
with temporal affairs.
Q. The confeSSor says I'm
scrupatIous and that | should not
confess all my SINS. Isn't con-
fesSion of all SINS necessary for
the Sacrament?
A. You should obey the con-
feSsor absolutely. The power OF
the Sacrament flows from Christ
through the priest to you. When
he gives you absolution your sins
are removed provided you have
sorrow (Which includes a pur-
pose of amendmenN, agree to
perform the penance and con-
fess all previously uneoHfessed
mortal sins. The completeness
of the confession Of sins may be
sacrificed when in THE CON
FESSOR'S JUDGMENT it is not
possible or necessary. A scrup-
ulous person must obey the con-
fessor without question.

Wrapped in One Bundle
Ii is significant that the
Ne0 Times goes out of his way
to assail General Douglas Mac
Arthur as "rabid spokesman of
American imperialism" This ac-
cusation is laid at his door for
his alleged statement in World
War ii that Asia and the Pacific
were the most important areas
for American defense. Thereby
Moscow lets it be known that its
aims are domination of all Asia
and of the entire Pacific
We for our part can recall
what lesson the reference TO
General Macarthur has for all
of us. 1t was his military genius,
strengthened by the ingenuity
of the American people, that
wrested island after island from
the Japanese, only to have the
fruits of victory lost to the Unit
ed States by the disgrace of
Yalta.
In those episodes we have
wrapped up in one bundle the
whole story of the past twenty
years: The power of the United
States, economically and militar-
lily, as contrasted to weak Soviet
power-and yet, the continued
backing down by this country by
reason of the ghost stories told
us within our own borders by
those susceptible to the Com
munist line.
Right Proportion
Radio commentators are now
advising that Chang Kai-shek has
no moral right TO Formosa, but
they never raise the question
concerning what moral right Mao
Tse-tung has to the Chinese main
land. Distinguished gentlemen
in public life state that Quemcy
and Matsu belong 10 China"
but do not remember that the
China to which the United States
gave solemn assurances at Cairo
was that Of Chang kai.shek.
