Scouts Hear
Gov. McKeIdin

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, July Z
R.-Gov. McKeldin Of Mary
land today urged senior Boy
Scouts to strive for the truth,
whether it is around the corner
or around the world, even though
the truth is much harder to find
than it was years ago.
THE great war that ended in
l945 ended with the world
divided between two systems of
thought. each of which hated
and feared the other" he said,
land neither of which dares be
frank and open with the other,
THE result is that far from
making the truth free and easy
to find by anyone who seeks it,
we have made it very difficult
and at times impossible to know
This means that it is actually
harder to be a good American
citizen today than it was when
the truth about every important
subject could readily be discov-
cred by a little investigation.
But if it is harder, it is also
very much more important to
the world. :"
Gov. McKeldin made his re-
marks in a speech scheduled for
delivery before a conference of
Explorer Boy Scouts of the Pen
insula Council at William and
Mary College here.

Delegates Lean
ToStevenson

BALTIMORE. July 7. (P.-
The Maryland delegation prob
ably will cast its 10 votes for
Adlai Stevenson for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination if
Estes Kefauver doesn't make it
on the first ballot. the Baltimore
Sun reported tonight.
The delegation is bound to
vote for Senator Kefauver of
Tennessee on the first ballot be-
cause more people voted for him
than an uninstructed delegation
in the States primary in May.
After that, they are free to
choose at the convention starting
August Is in Chicago.
The Sun reported a telephone
poll of most of the SO delegates,
with half a vote each, found that
a majority favored switching to
Mr.. Stevenson.
Leader Leaning" Toward Adlai
I'm leaning toward Steven
son." said Willard Tawes, chair
man of the delegation.
Michael J. Birmingham, the
States new Democratic nation
al committeeman, made it clear
he's for Mr.. Stevenson all the
way.
II believe the Maryland dele
cation will switch to Stevenson
when Kefauver fades" said
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro, the
outgoing national committee
man.
The Sun assumed that many
of the other delegates would au-
tomatically follow those leaders,
Some for SymingtOn
There also is some rather
strong sentiment in the delega-
ton for Stuart Symington. Sem
ator from Missouri and former
Baltimorean.
Mayor D'AleSandro is one Of
those in this camp. He said that
if a deadlock develops among
Senator Kefauver, Mr.. Steven
son and Averell Hartman, Gov
ernor of New York. he hopes that
Senator Symington will become
the choice.
Julian B. Carrick Of Balti-
more also favors Senator Sy-
mington.
T. Barton Harrington. the
State Democratic chairman, said
his position demands neutrality
officially.

Pensioners of Pohick
Build Own Parish House

Church located several miles
south Of the present site.
Washington, George William
Fairfax and George Mason were
on the building committee. The
building was constructed by Dan
lei French for the sum of 877
pounds currency money of Vir-
GINA" 1t was completed in 1774
The Rev. Clarence E. Buxton
who has been rector for IA years,
holds pew No. Is. as did his
predecessors.
Mr.. Buxton feels like he now
belongs to the church.
II think I'll be buried here" he
said, IN be in good company
and my friends will be able to
find me-"
He likes the inscription on
one stone in the graveyard. Over
the grave of a 1t. William Her.
ris. who died in 1876 and is called
the FIRST soldier" it reads: "A
good soldier. a good husband
and a kind neighbor.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-08

Progress has finally caught up
with historic Pohick Church,
but the Pensioners are hand
ling the situation much as
George Washington and his
companions did in building the
original church nearly 200 years
ago.
Members of the Episcopal con-
gregation just south of Fort
Belvoir, Va. on Route /, are
building a parish house that has
long been needed.
They decided to pitch into the
Job themselves when bids for
the work ran well above what
they had originally estimated.
And they're conforming to the
architecture used on the build
ing when it was put up just prior
to the Revolutionary War.
The congregation, which num-
bers about 80 families from the
Lorton area, decided on the
structure some time ago, but felt
it should conform to the same
basic design of the church and
not overshadow the old building.
Low Bid Was High
They figured the 32x72-foot
building they wanted would cost
about $95.000. When bids were
opened. the low one was for
$4,000.
80 we Just decided to do
a lot Of the work ourselves, T"
said John Haywood Davis, the
architect who designed the build
ing, land we think it's better
this way. Well appreciate it
more"
A construction committee was
named and 1t includes several
engineers. The Old Dominion
Foundation has agreed to give
$4,000 for the project if an
equal amount can be added by
donations this year to 60 with
the $4,000 collected last year.
Handmade brick has been or
dered along with specially made
window frames and outside trim.
The root of the new building
will conform with the old struc-
ture.
Eight classrooms and smaller
utility rooms will be on the first
floor. A commons room will be
in the basement of the addition
located just behind the church
on the back slope.
Now Excavating
Excavation is already we'll I'M
derway and the congregation
hopes to finish the building by
Christmas.
Mr.. Davis is around much of
the time with his roll Of blue
prints. Silas M. Ransopher. who
