'Bigot's' Letter
Answered by
CWV Official

James H. King, Commander
of the Ohio Department of the
Catholic War Veterans, re-
piled this week to a violently
anti-Catholic" letter that ap-
peared in the Sound Off" col
umn of the February issue of
the American Legion maya
zine. The writer, a Wisconsin
resident, attacked American Cath
olics and urged that they resign
from the Legion on the grounds
that their Faith inhibited loyalty to
the us. and its democratic princi-
pies.
King pointed out that when we
were fighting for the very princi-
pies we are now accused of violat-
ing, when our lives depended upon
each other, no one suggested that
we resign.
"The American Legion owes
duty to its members and to the
country to promote the American
way of life and not to aid in at
tacks thereon by any means what
soever." (The magazines editors
have since indicated that an apollo
gy will appear in the March issue.)
Remarking that the American
Legion Magazine is a publication
that the organization can be proud
of, King also recognized the fact
that the freedom to express opin-
ion in the Sound Off" column is
generally desirable. He said, how
ever, that he believes the magazine
should refrain from printing mat
ters attacking the race, creed or
color of any citizens, particularly
its own members.
GAS indicated by the Supreme
Court in the Communist conspira-
cysD King stated, "the freedoms
given by the Constitution are not
wholly unlimited; they do not
grant one the right to undermine
the very basic principles upon
which the government of this coun-
try is founded"

Zoning North GIebe Site
For Sofewoy Rejected

The Arlington County Board
last night, by o 3-to-2 vote,
denied the rezoning request OF
Safeway Stores, Inc. which had
asked that an apartment DWELL
ing district in the 200 block OF
North Glebe road be changed
to a general commercial district,
which would have paved the way
for q proposed new store.
It was one of five rezoning
petitions denied during the
spring coming hearings in the
Arlington Courthouse. whic h
will continue at 8 o'clock tonight.
In the split decision, In which
board members Wesley Cooper
and Mrs. Leone Buchholz dis
sented. the board cited the added
traffic on Glebe road would
create serious congestion in that
area.
Arthur B. Hanson, attorney
for Safeway Stores, told the
board the food store chain had
contracted with st. Thomas
More Church to obtain an addi-
tional IS feet of land, which
they would use for parking ia
cilities, and to provide for a bet
ter entrance on to Glebe, road
from the lot. The attorney pre-

sented an elaborate color draw
ing of the proposed store and
stated the establishment would
''be an attractive addition to the
neighborhood."
Mr.. Hanson contended the
new tax revenue the Safeway
store would bring in should in
terest the county.
A. L. Handy. attorney for
Buckingham Apartments, who
opposed the rezoning move. said
it would be a complete departure
from the master plan.
Although the store would
bring in a lot of additional tax
revenue" he retorted, "it can
never justify a departure from
the zoning rules"
Other rezoning requests denied
by the board included property
at 609 North Edgewood street, to
be changed from apartment
dwelling to local commercial;
2219 North Buchanan street,
from one-family dwelling to gen.
eral commercial; 1929 and 1888
South Twelfth street, from one
family restricted d two-family

The way we look at it here at Peoples, you are
the boss" =. the one who gives rhyme and reason
to our business.
That's why we'd like you to know more about
the men who run Peoples Drug Stores - who they
are and how they got where they are today.
The people you see here represent total of 1879
years of experience in the drug business. Most of
them came up the hard way. Some started as stock
room boys. Others began their careers as clerks All
got to the top because they learned the drug bust
ness inside and out because they applied that
knowledge well in carrying out the public response
bility of Peoples Drug Stores.
In the future the places of these people will be
taken by others who are now in "training through
out the 156 Peoples Drug Stores Faces may change
but the principles on which this company has oper-
ated since it's founding in 1905 will always remain
the same.
So we think that this, the 5Oth Anniversary of
the founding of our company, is particularly good
time to thank all of our friends for their patronage
And we trust you will continue to let us serve you in
the future.
