MARYLAND:

Beware Of Greeks bearing

That declaration still fairly
accurately describes the atti-
tlde Of Maryland offcialdom
toward the recently renewed
proposal that the Free State
take over the Federally
portion of the Baltimore
Washington Parkway.
Secretary Of Interior Doug

again the other day in state
ments to q group Of Baltimore
boulevard commercial interests
concerned. about getting trucks
on the boulevard and onto the
parkway.
"I'd be very glad to turn the
road over to Maryland" Mr..
Mckay said. I'VE don't provide
roads for other States and /

Oficials from Interior and

among 20 many different agen-
cies. Battles between the High

classic.
They represent the conflict

Such battles usually are de-

by Congress.
And there are innumerable
spokes which can be stuck in
the wheels.
The latest threat was raised
by Representative Howard
Smith OF Virginia, veteran
Democratic member Of the
House District Committee and
chairman Of the powerful
House Rules Committee - a
congressman OF no little In
fluence.
Even more important from
the District viewpoint, he is
chairman of the District Com
mittee's Subcommittee on Fis-
cal Affairs which will handle
proposed legislation next jan

by some $40 million, largely
through tax boosts.

fascination-as does Mr.. Boy

reader wonder why great

in recent years.
Look at the Post
Perhaps the difference be-
tween then and now can be
explained by a look at the
dramatic moments of the past.
The first in Mr.. Boykin's
book sets the scene for

congressman, Representative
James Tallmadge of New York.

bill to admit Missouri into the

slavery there. In an instant

tween North and South we're
so fundamental that no last
ing middle ground could be
found and no hot-headed at
tack could be ignored or for

There is. of course, no such
issue today. CongreSsmen can
compromise or ignore their
differences on civil rights, on
foreign aid. on internal secur-
ity. on comparative merits OF
Democrats and Republicans.
There can be no chilling cry
of .disunion," no flow of blood

Here They Know You

If those poor people in ancient
Jerusalem pledged themselves to
support the house of God, we who
are Christians have even more
reason to do so. For one thing, the
church is where we really belong
Where else in the world is a per-
son recognized for what he is, a
child of God? Elsewhere you are
a statistic, a consumer, a custo-
mer, a taxpayer, cost item,

facts about you. But the most i'm
portant fact about any human be-
ing is not that he is kin to the hui
man race, important though that is.
The big fact is that every human
being is made by God, for fellow
ship with him. Every man alive is
a child of God. Either he knows
that or he does not know 1t. Vast
numbers of the human race live

Here Gods Will Is
Sought and Taught

Are we talking about the real
church or are we idealizing it?
Well. of course no church is quite
ideal. But taking the church by
and large. these things are true,
the church at its best wants them
to come true, this is what it is
driving at. For the church is the
only place in town where large
groups of people join in trying to
know the will of God, and how to
find it and how to do it. The
church is the place where prob
lens. personal and/or social, can
and ought to be discussed in the
light of Gods Word and Will. 1t is
the place where life is looked at
in the light of heaven. A church
that does not live up to its high
calling is hardly worth support;
but church where there is a sin
cere effort to know what God
wants for this community and for
our part in it, a church where
there is brave and honest oppor-
tunity for minister and people to
think and to study and to speak
out for God and his ways, church
which by prayer and service keeps
the door open toward God, such a
church is indeed a House of God;
how can a Christian refuse to sup
port it?

A great deal of misinformatiOn is
current these days concerning our
immigration and nationality laws.
| am concerned at this time with
the twisting of factual information
rather than any debate on the
merits or lack of merit of any par
ticular phase Of the law l think
that my position is well enough
known to justify my taking this OPP
portunity of Strengthening the rec
ord.
For the information of the people
of the 9Th Maryland District, and
SO that they may be able to judge
some of the material which is be-
ing presented to them, have asked
Mr.. A. c. Devaney of the Depart
ment OF Justices immigration and
Naturalization Service to outline
a few salient points on the admins
tration of the immigration laws.
The most important thing to re-
member, Mr.. Devaney points out,
is that the quota limitations with
respect to individual countries are
exactly the same as in the 1924 law.
These quotas have been in effect
each year since then. What the law
has done, though, is to broaden the
number of persons not chargeable
to the quota who can be admitted
permanently to the United States.
Another feature of the law. which
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1955-09-22

is often overlooked, is it helps
maintain a family unit even to the
extent of permitting a preferential
status under the quota for brothers
and sisters of American citizens.
Significantly too, for the first time,
the Act permits the adjustment of
status from that of temporary
status to that Of permanent resi-
dent without leaving the United
States.
The Act prohibits entry into the
United States of those who would
subvert our government or those
who because of criminal acts are
socially unWelcome to our shores.
The law also permits action against
those who have entered either on
a temporary or permanent basis
who commit Subversive or criminal
acts.
The Act is being administered
humanely, sensibly and with due
regard not only for the protection
of the government but also for the
protection of individual rights.
