day on earth and in Heaven. Most
likely it is still a day of profound
spiritual consolation and hope TO
countless numbers within the bor-
ders of the U.SS.R.
1'hirty-eight years of goddess
communism have failed to stamp
out religion in Russia. Moreover,
devotion toward the Mother of God
seems to be as strong as ever
among those who have ,lung to
their Christian beliefs. Only last
year, the Moscow patriarchate of
Russion Orthodox Church listed
260 miraculous images of the Vir-
gin in this land whose Christian
history spans 1000 years.
Catholics observe the Feast
of fhe Annuneiation on March
Is. However, in fhe Russian
Church, which follows the old
Julian Calendar, the feast falls
on April 7. Until the Red Revo-
luton il had been a public holi-
day. N was day of amnesty for
Prisoners. Farmers had their
seeds blessed with an image OF
fhe Holy Mother. One Russion
legend says that on that day
even the souls OF the condemned
are given a day Of respite in
honor OF Mary.
In 1852, when His Holiness Pope
Plus XII consecrated "all the peo-
les of Russia" to the Mother of
God. he told them of his conSola-
ton in knowing 'that you love
and honor the Virgin Mother of
God with ardent affection and that
you venerate. her sacred images"
Today the veneration of Mary
is branded by communist propa-
gandists as religious supersti-
ton" which must be eradicated.
But Russia remains "the land of
Mary Most Holy" even though her
image may be displayed openly
only in churches.
The most popular prayer in Rus
sia is the Ave, consisting of the
words of the Annunciation, with
an added petition for the Virgins
intercession.
Friend sreefs friend with the
prayer, MAY he peace of God
be with YOU" but the parting
word is always, MAY the blue
manteI OF Our Lady cover you
with its gracious folds and keep
you safe" The Rosary is known IN
Russia, but is regarded as so

Two Of the important devia-
tions recommended are these:
DO not open the bidding on min
irnum hands which are suited
only for play ct q minor suit.
Do not open the bidding on min
imum hands when q substantial
part Of your high card count
stems from queens and jacks In
short suits tthree cards or lessl,
not supported by other honor
cards.
Today's recommended devia-
ton applies to the responding
hand. As responder. do not give
full valuation to o short suit
when partner has bid that suit.
Sticking strictly to the book.
as usual, Mrs. Rhule overbid her
hand In today's deal. After Mr..
Abel bid spades. she promoted
her king Of spades to four points
and counted her hand for nine
points In high cards. She added
i've points for her void In dia-
monds, came UP with q total Of
Il points. and raised to three
spades.
Actually o singleton or void
In suit partner has bid is more
often q liability than an asset.
In this particular case I would
recommend that the value Of the
diamond void In the North hand
be discounted to about three
points. On that basis a raise to
tMo spades by Mrs. Rhule would
have done full Justice to her
hand. And after only q single
raise Mr.. Abel would surely have
passed.
As it was. there was no play
Tor four spades. Mr.. Masters
led the king Of clubs. Mrs. Fusty'
overlook with the ace and re-
turned the six. MIR. Masters won
and continued the suit. On the
fourth club Mrs. Fusty ruffed
with the jack Of spades Mr.,
Abel overruffed with the ace and
later had to lose two trump
tricks to MIR. Masters for down
two.
Note how much more valuable
1t would have been for Mr.. Abel
to lind a singleton or even q
doubleton club in dummy, rather
than the void in diamonds.

Pressed on Amount.
Senator Nicely insistently called
on Mr.. Warner to say how much
he thought the Federal payment
should be. The witness had
argued that the question of the
Federal payment was not re-
lated to the form Of government
that it was a matter of fiscal
relations between the Federal
and District governments.
In answer to Senator Neeley's
question, Mr.. Warner said the
amount or the percentage would
have to change from time to

On Human Nature al
Prayer Breakfast

Billy Graham said this morning.
Speaking at the third annual

behind wars.

GU. S. A.. The conference
continues through Saturday
; Mr.. Graham said that in the
world outside our borders many
doubt this Nation has the moral
and spiritual qualities it should.
This, he said, is because We have
given the world "the wrong type
of picture"

deep in Christianity" he re-
minded those present that Christ
said, "If we have a spiritual re-
birth we can change the world"

Of the home rule bill had to say
in today's Senate District Com
mittee hearing:
Culver b. Chamberlain, Cen
tral Democratic Committee of
the District - Warning that
much. of the opposition to the
measure may be based on racial
considerations, 1.-The racial
problem is not such that it
should deprive nearly million
Americans of the right Of partic-
ipating in their Government"

broker - "The Commissioner
form Of government is for. but
not by and Of the people. It is
daddy government. not democ-
racy. We want to vote"

years ago. We feel keenly the
Illustration of the disenfran-
chised. We enthusiastically in
dorse this bill and beseech
speedy enactment"

tical nurse-"I'm very much in
favor of the bill and I'll lobby
right along with you for it all
the way through"
Mrs. Jack Gottsegen, Wash

Government directly responsible
to its electorate would make our
program of community service
and civic responsibility more
meaningful and effective"
Mrs. Carolyn HI. Stewart, Suf-
frage Committee, District Fed

Passage can be a positive ap-
proach to many of the city's
problems relating to health,

sci, Federation of Civic Associa-
tions-The bill is thoroughly
prepared. Don't hamper it's pas
sage by amendments"

nicipal affairs when they have
no voice in government"

Edmund M. Jaskiewicz, general

large sections of various counties
for Government purposes. He
noted that in many cases there
was lacking the compensating
factor of the Government en-
ploying a great number OF per-
manent workers.
Mr.. Warner said he could see
no fundamental difference.
Mr.. Warner. urging enactment
of the bill, said one of the objec-
tionS to the measure was the
ratio question but beyond that
were financial and political ques-
tionS.
At the outset, Senator Neely
said today's hearing was the
first of a series. Spokesman for
the Washington Board of Trade
and other opponents are to tes-
tify at later dates.
Hopes for Quick Action.
Senator Neely said he hoped
for prompt and favorable action
on the bill so it could be sent to
the House, where he hoped it
also would be approved.
He declared that "the people
OF Washington are human beings
and as such are entitled to the
benefits and to all the benefits
guaranteed by the Constitution"
He protested that District people
have been deprived of "funda-
mental political blessing"
Commissioner Camalier. speak
ing for himself as well as for
a majority of the Board of Com
missioners, called the statement
of Senator Nicely most enlight-
ening and most encouraging"
He said he wanted to join in the
hope that the House as well as
the Senate would pass the bill.
Home rule" he said, would be
like q light in the window. We
have been in darkness in the
District too long"

1870s, when the commission form
of government was setup, the
District had had a home rule
government.
1.-THE city went broke, but not
because it had home rule" ne
contended.
No Help From Congress-.
In 1871, he recalled, Congress
saw fit to turn the District loose
on the heaviest development pro-
gram in its history and said.
in effect, that the city would
have no help from Congress,
that the, District should carry
it's program with municipal
bonds"
He recalled that when the
District went bankrupt "a group
of people marched up to Capt.
tol Hill and asked Congress to
take over the city government.
They said we will give up our
suffrage, we don't need it." He
recalled that this was done and
Congress set UP a $3.50 sharing
of costs between the District and
the United States.
Mr.. Warner said he thought
the $3.50 deal was all right at
the time of District receiver
ship" but he did no. think that
size of a Federal payment would
be right now. He added that he
sort of expected to get "a knife
in my back" for saying that, but
argued that he thought it was
pretty flabby thinking" on the
part of those who would be will
ing to forego suffrage If the
District could have SO per cent
Federal payment.
Hruska Raises Question.
Senator Hruska, Republican,
of Nebraska, spoke up to ask
what justification there was for
any Federal payment.
The witness explained that
Congress under the Constitution
mas jurisdiction over the National
Capital, that the United States
gets an enormous amount of.
services from the city and that
the Federal Government has
taken a huge portion of District
land out of District taxation.
The Nebraskan wanted to
know if there was any difference
in that and the fact that the
Federal Government has taken
