Banning Trucks From Parkway

It is gratifying to know that such
gentlemen as Maryland Delegate Rob-
inson and State Senator Turnbull have
taken sides with the people in intro
ducing legislation to prohibit truck
traffic on the new Baltimore Washing
ton Parkway. Heretofore. all we have
read is the plight Of the commercial
interests on old Baltimore boulevard
and their efforts to get the State Of
Maryland TO take over the entire length
of the parkway. It Is not dificult to
see that the efforts Of Robinson and
Turnbull are sincerely in the interests
of the common good and are not for
the so-called money interests" True.
the merchants on "Old Bloody. will
suffer for while, but believe things
could be worked out wherein tourists
could be forewarned at either end of
the parkway that there are no accom-
modations on the route.
One need only to drive on the Penn
sylvania Turnpike or even Shirley
highway to see how trucks can upset
the purpose for which these expensive
roads were built. One needs only to
drive on the parkway between Cheverly
and the District TO see how crowded
the parkway has already become.

Spires of the Spirit
Castles in Spain

Wanted--A castle In Spainl is the
secret passion Of most lives spent
among prosaic things far from castle
like. This dream desire which colors
common aas ) lifts tlirreted towers and
romantic gates before the gaze Of toilers
bending in the valley of drudgery and
routine There. breaking the far horf-
zon. is the castle Of ones dreams. That
haunting vision of tomorrow often
makes today bearabIe.
One Of the greatest personalities Of
the crowding centuries, Paul the Apos-
tie. had his castle in Spain. Listen.
as he says in one of his immortal LETT
ters to the early churches: Whenever
take my journey to Spain will come
to you, But now must 60 unto
Jerusalem to minister Some day
but noWI So much Of life seems
summed up in that formula, an antici-
pated Joy that is IN the future, press
ing duty which is In the now. One can
not contemplate what this marvellous
man. st. Paul, made of his life, from
the light that sfnote him at Damascus
to the ak that slew him at Rome, with
out being conscious of how bitter and
sweet experiences were all woven into
cloth of FURNISHED gold which he wore
as a valiant knight. Constructively he
used the things that came to him. But
the very phrase castles in Spain sug-
gests the wanted things that did not
come to him.
OF course, a truly victorious life must
deal not only with the things that come,
but also with the things that do not
come. In the poignant entry in st.
Paul's journal we are face to face with
a radiant dream which beckoned him
across more than a score of toiling
years. But it was like a beautiful mir
age Of the desert with which he never
could catch UP. It is all wrapped up in
the phrase my journey to Spain."g He
never took it. But he never took his
eyes from it. Like every one of us, he
had his ''castle in Spain"
So did that colossal figure, Moses.
His Spain" was the Promised Land.
Toward that golden goal he boldly led a
horde of slaves whose shackles his self
less genius had broken. But it is i'm
possible to read the amazing, breath
taking narrative of this Alpine man
without being conscious of gap. sud-
den blank in his life never to be filled
After the dream had lured him on as he
dared every danger, what a crushing
blow to be told. with the land of his de-
sire in plain view, that he was not to
cross over with those he had led! For
there came the divine decree: Thou
shalt not go over this Jordan" And he
died on Nebo's lonely mountain, outside
the land.
And there is David. What a rnagnifi-
cent dream OF the temple filled his sky

Four Ancient Lowgivers

Prospective jurors assembled In the
ceremonial courtroom of the United States
District Court see four white marble statues
back Of the judges bench and wonder whom
they represent. The answer for the first
of the group is: Hammurabi, earliest king
Of all Babylonia. Reigning from 2267 to
2213 B. c., "he showed himself great alike
in peace and war" One of his claims to.
lasting fame is his. Code, beginning: II
established law and justice in the land"
He was proponent Of the principle of quid
pro quo-which he expressed as: IF man
destroy the eve Of another man, they shall
destroy his eye"
The efiigy of Moses, the lawgiver Of the
Israelites, Is more easily recognized It
includes the Tables Of the Law which he
brought down from Sinai. AS the tradi-s
tionai author OF the Pentateuch- the first
Ave books OF the Old Testament--he Is
accepted as prophet by Christians and
Moslems alike and his Ten Commandments
have universal application among men Of

Solon Of Athens t638-55s b. CD is q
logical neighbor for the preceptor Of the,
Jews. He quickened the conscience OF the
Greeks to attempt great reforms and set
an inspiring example Of judicial wisdom

statue stands that Of Justinian (sS3-565

with color and beautyi To him it was
an alahaster vision. And he was to build
it. All. David's Spain was at hand!
Then came a Devastating disappoint-
mel1t. Again, q divine decree, with rea-
sons behind it: Thou shalt not build
an house to my name. Z. Solomon, thy
son, he shall build my house and my
courts"
And here is Paul. AS he went the
weary round Of the regions with which
he was so familiar, he wanted most two
things: To see imperial Rome, and some
glad day to see Spain and proclaim the
Name there whose gospel it never had
heard. Tied to familiar duties which
often irked him and tested his patience,
the burning desire to reach Spain grew
into almost an obSession. It crept into
his letters-as wearying years wore on
and his hair turned gray.
Well, Rome came-He reached 1t!
But it meant prison cell and martyr
dom. Spain. the brightest of all his
dreams, was one Of the coveted thrills
that never came. How often he yir-
tually wrote: When have done my

Strange Imprisonment

It is gratifying that the Kremlin, In
belated response to our Governments re-
peated demands. has at last freed John H.
Noble and William Marchuk from their long
Imprisonment in the Soviet Union--a cruel
and baffling punishment that seems to
have been imposed merely to satisfy some
ugly whim Of the totalitarians in Moscow.
Mr. Marchuk'S status in this strange
story remains unclear at the moment. A
private In the United States Army, he has
been listed as absent without leave ever
since 1949, when he vanished in the Red
sector of Berlin. Ever since then, he APP
parently has been q prisoner in Soviet
forced-labor camps, but there still seems
to be an Official American question despite
the way the Russians have treated him
as to whether or not his original disappear
ance constituted desertion.
There appears to be no question, how
ever, about the facts involved In Mr.. Mobiles
case. In 1888. together with his mother
and sister, he was brought to Germany by
his father. an American citizen OF German
descent. The family, according to the
father. was then trapped over there by the
outbreak Of the Second World War, during
which the Naxis refused TO let the Mobiles
return to the United States. Finally. when
the Red Army moved into Dresden In lS45
the Soviet authorities arrested all four Of
them. but released the mother and sister
while imprisoning the father and son. who
was barely 2l years old at the time.
The senior Mobiles imprisonment lasted
about seven years, until his release In 1852.
And now that his son has been freed from
almost q decade of captivity, there is as
yet no clear explanation Of the Soviet
Unions reasons for subjecting either Of
them to such an ordeal-no explanation.

banked 50 much on reaching it. For
realization Is often much more drab
than anticipation.
It is more than likely that the life
we viii know is one with Spain not
on the map. But that Is no reason to
sell out your dreams! Paul didn't AS
he turns to what he calls ministry at
Jerusalem. he sighs: skh, some day
Spainls Who can doubt that through
prison bars he still saw Spain and
vowed Y he were released In Rome he
would at last be on his way? But his
itinerary had no stop-over at Spain as
he went on to q fairer land.
After all. it didn't matter so far as
Moses contribution to the ages is con-
eerned whether he ever got to his
Span" or not. It did not matter much
whether David built the temple or not.
so far as his high niche in the cathe-
dral Of faith is concerned. His psalms,
in which even his sins sing and sob.
have meant more to an unnumbered
host than Just the distinction of build
ing physical temple. Paul might have
gotten great personal joy out Of preaoh-
ing in Spain. had he ever reached it:
although the probability is he would
have found the saints there as muclr
Of problem in their disputes and
sQuabbleS as they were in Jerusalem.
Saints always are. But the thing is
that If he ever had gone to Spain he
probably never would have written
those glorious epistles which flashed and
famed in the dark of g prison cell In
the. light of 1000 years, 1t was much
more important that he should write:
This mortal must put on immortality.
and this corTuptible must put on incor-
ruptionn and ''as we have borne the
image Of the earthly we shall also bear
the image of the heavenly" than that
he should have his own way in travel
ing to Spain.
It's good to dream of Spain. But the
important thing is not that we reach
any castle which has lured US; but to
find our fullest fruition as Paul did in
being faithful to the common tasks and
the trivial rounds. That was Charles
Kingsley's formula as. with his great
endowment spiritually and intellec-
tually, he scorned the heights and the
honors which might have been his, to
spend 50 years in one drab little parish,
and left us this recipe for a successful
life:
DO the iUork that's nearest,
Though it's dull at aohileS,
Helping, 1DlteIt pou see them,
Lame dogs oUer stiles;
Finding In each hedgeroto
Marks OF angels feet,
Epics in the pebbles 4
Underneath your feet.
That is far better than castle in
Spain.
