hand keeps pressing me to let

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
A husband has a right to
demand some degree Of social
tolerance from his wife, but Ted
seems to be going too far. This
man is not an old friend for
whom he can vouch and he has
admittedly been offensive. Ted
should not put his wife to the
need to repeat the exact words
of an odious insult.
Were the friend married
man who would come to the
house accompanied by his wife,
a second invitation for the sake
|of appearances might not be
unreasonable. If Ted feels it Is
vital to smooth over" this mat
ter, he should at least have his
friend bring a young lady.
1t is very foolish, however, for
a husband not to trust his wife's
judgment when she says that
some new, bachelor acquaintance
is persona non grata. She should
without question have the last
word in deciding what men she
will not entertain in her home.
Jenny, perhaps. should tell her
husband he would risk an ugly
scene in his home if he were to
let this man. unaccompanied by
a girl, come for another visit.

trict and opened his law Office in
Arlington in 1880. Almost imme-
diately, he became involved in
politics, running unsuccessfully
for the Virginia House of Dele
gates in 1888 and unsuccessfully
for Congress in 1884 and 1886.
He ran as a Republican in those
three races.
In 1889, he was elected to his
first term as Republican treas
urer of Arlington County and
served two additional consecu-
tive terms.
This 12-year reign was unique
in that all other Offices of the
county were held by Democrats.

had strong Democratic backing
in those years.
In 1854, after splitting openly
with Republicans, he tried to file
for the Democratic primary for
Congress but was turned down
by the Democratic Committee.
The following year, running
as an independent Republican"
for reelection as treasurer, he
lost to Republican Colin c. Mac
Pherson in a three-way race.
His legal attacks against gov-
ernmenta1 systems and policies
stemmed, he said, from belief
that the law was being violated.
IF a law is not popular, it
should be abolished, not ig-
nored," he said.
Legal Battles
Among the legal entangle-
ments in which he did battle
were:
An unsuccessful bid to have
the United States Senate seat OF
the late Carter Glass declared
vacated when the ailing Demo-
crat could not attend sessions on
Capitol Hill.
An unsuccessful effort to up
set the Virginia poll tax law.
A successful suit to GUST Fed
eral employees from the Arling-
ton County Board.
An unsuccessful suit to GUST
Federal employees from the Ar
lington School Board.
A successful suit to void a
$500,000 swimming pool bond is
sue in Arlington.
Ended Rent Controls
A successful suit to rid Arling-
ton of rent controls before they
were due to expire.
Successful suits in Alexandria
and Falls Church against Sec
tions of the two cities business
license tax ordinances.
Since his illness, which began
a year ago. he moved his family
to Brandy, Va, in Culpeper
County, where he had a farm.
He is survived by his widow,
Mary Hume Green, and three
daughterS. Gay, Elizabeth and
Mary Mason Green.

John Locke Green, Fiery
Political Figure, Dies

John Locke Green, former Ar
lington County treasurer, who
enlivened the political arena of
Virginia for nearly a decade,
died yesterday of uremia in
Charlottesville, Va.
Mr.. Green, who was 54, was
admitted to the hospital three
weeks ago with congestive heart
failure. He had been in i'll health
for more than a year and was
seldom seen in his Arlington law
Office.
A fourth generation lawyer,
Mr.. Green felt most at home in
a legal battle. And the court
rooms of Arlington and the en-
tire State we're where he earned
his reputation.
Although his family traces its
roots back to 1912 in Culpeper
County, Va, Mr.. Green was born
in Colorado Springs, Colo, while
his father was travelling west to
seek his fortune.
Ironically. he considered his
arch foes those who had come to
Virginia in recent years as Fed
eral employees. One of his many
successful legal battles resulted
in the custer of Federal en-
ployes from the Arlington
County Board.
Sharp of Tongue
Gruff voiced and sharp
tongued, Mr.. Green had a knack
for the homely phrase with a
tinge of satire, and he used it
freely in and out of the court
room.
One of his most scornful ap-
praisals of adversaries was a de-
riSive: Hes got rabbit blood in
his veins"
Mr.. Green studied at the Ma
tional Law School in the Dis

The Catholic Labor Alliance is
a laymen's organization founded
in 1943 to work for social reform
based on the principles of the
two social encyclicals.
His II points are:
l. To keep insisting that Amer
leans should welcome a reduced
standard of living-so that we
can share our abundance with
needy people abroad.
z. To explain the real danger
of communism to the United
States.
3. To build public support for
world disarmament, for United
Nations agencies practicing the
spiritual and corporal works of
mercy, and for the realization
that we must love our enemies as
we'll as our friends if we are to
have world peace.
a. To keep examining our con-
sciences until whites and Negroes
learn to live at peace in the
neighborhoods of the North, and
until every strain of segregation
is removed from the religious in
stitutions Of our land.
S. To stress the importance of
democracy within industry and
the professions, so that unionists,
manufacturers and stockholders
will act like responsible persons
and take an active part in their
organizations.
Moral Law
6. To encourage cooperation
among all men of good will-Pro'
testant, Catholic and Jew - to
tackle together the great issues
of our time so that in every 0e'
cupation and profession there
Will be laymen serving tnelr lei
low workers and bringing the
moral law to bear upon the days
work.
7. TO care about the forgotten
people"-the refugees from com
munism, farm laborerS and mi
gratory workers, the American
Indian and those living in slums
8. To keep pointing out that ali
freedoms must be defended-noi
only the right to buy a home, ar
auto and productive property, but
also the right TO be free from
mass pressure to conform by ad
vertising, televislon and the NOV
! les.
9. To expose the concentration
of power in government, big bus
/ mess, corporation farming, ant
