Morse Asks Action
Senator Morse OF the Senate
District Committee last night
called for less planning and
more action" on the part Of area
planners in the campaign tc
cleanse the Potomac.
The Oregon Democrat. ad-
the commission. urged
those in authority to get
out Of the study stage and down
to business"
When they do. the Senator
said, Il promise my support OF
any legislative measure designed
to accomplish the feat"
The Senator described the Po-
tomac as 1.-The filthiest river OF
its classification in the world"
IF the two or three States and
the District can't get together on
a thing like this, how can we ever
expect an organization like the
United Nations to be able to
solve complex international
problems?" the Senator asked
Backs Broyhill Bill
The Senator pledged condi-
tional support of the Broyhill bill,
which would invest administra-
tive authority to clean up the
river in the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
He added, however. he would
offer for debate in the Senate
today a bill which would give the
administrative authority to the
Army Engineers Corps.
The Senator said 1t is his idea
not only to cleanse the Potomac
but to conserve the basins nat
ural resources. Included are its
irrigation, water supply and rec
reational potentials.
We must conserve for the
marching line of boys and girls
of succeeding generations SEN

A soft-Spoken, slow-mov-

His. latest job-a zodiac cut
in gems-is a tribute to the
vanishing breed of craftsmen

Frank E. Holden plies his

osophy is another of his spe-

The mineral exhibit is his

CLINT in his eyes as he talks
of improving 1t even more.
But Mr.. Holden does not

Corning Would
Avoid Dispute
With City Heads
BY JAMES G. DEANE

school Supt. Hobart M. Cor.
ming warned today that more
teacher and pupil juggling is in
store for the District school
system if Congress fails to pro-
vide more teachers.
The juggling, he said. could
mean fewer teachers in high
schools.
The school superintendent also
said teacher cutbacks would
jeopardize the success of racial
indignation.
DR.. Corning. in a news con-
ference, reiterated what he said
lis the school systems urgent
need for more teachers. The
Board of Education already has
decided to appeal to Congress
for 1870 additional elementary
teachers next fall. 140 more than
the number approved by the
Commissioners.
Would Avoid Dispute
I'VE don't want any open fight
here with the Commissioners"
DR.. Corning told reporters. He
said school officials have no in
Itention of violating a law which
bars District departments from
going over the heads of the Com
Imissioners in seeking budget
increases.
But DIR. Corning declared:
Il would be in an extremely
awkward situation If I were re-
CURED to testify that we need 40
teachers"
The schools will need 81
teachers merely to meet an ex-
pected elementary enrolment
increase, he pointed out. He
added that this would make no
provision for reducing over
sized classes in secondary schools.
Net Of Only 20
DR.. Corning said that although
the Commissioners have granted
40 added grade-school teachers
for next September, the schools
actually will have a net gain Of
only 20. This is because emer-
gency authorization was OBJ
tanned to hire 20 extra teachers
to stop pupil shutting last fall.
| The school superintendent said
he felt that the Commissioners
do not understand the schoOl
systems situation.
| Referring to the question of
Indignation. he pointed out that
the schools are attempting to
make UP for a long time teacher
shortage in the old colored divi-
sion, and that many children
need special instruction in order
to speed their achievement.
There are both white and COL
ored children in this category,
but classes were more diversified
in the Negro division before inte-
grafton. and consequently the
lags to be made up are greater
among colored children, he
pointed out.
Special Class Needs
School officials are currently
considering plans to set up spe-
Ecial high school classes for chill.
Idren with tagging achievement.
as we'll as gifted children, he
said Such classes will require
more teachers, he emphasized.
The superintendent said he
had indicated to the Commits
sioners more than once that in
.tegration required both more
teachers and smaller classes, and
that it would not save money.
DR.. Corning said he did not
know when a visit would be
made to members of the Con-
gressional committees now con-
Isidering the Districts revenue
situation. Board President c.
Melvin Sharpe already has dis
closed an intention of seeing
Representative Smith, Democrat
of Virginia, a leader of the group.

THE ZODIAC is q good
example. Mr.. Holden worked
on this circular arrangement
Of the IL seasonal signs in
spare moments around his
little shop. Adding 1t all up,
he says: II guess it took
about 80 days, all told. Eight
hour days, of course.
II cut the figures out of a
magazine and pasted them on
a piece of thin wood, then
took that to the carpenter
shop and cut the outlines on
a jig-Saw.
THE base is a piece Of
Marion onyx - most people
call it marble. I put the cut
out figures on that, and
etched an outline with a
stylus.
Then I used a little rotary
diamond drill to route out
the outlines, and a sapphire
stylus to get the corners
true"
Patience, patience. The
tedious part came after that.
Using mineral rock similar
to the monthly birthstone
gems, Mr.. Holden spent hours
shaping the ram and the
scales and the scorpion and
all of the other zodiac figures
to fit precisely into the spaces
he had routed from the
Marion onyx.
you've got to be pretty
careful" he says. IF you
make a false move when
you're using this diamond
saw, you ruin the whole thing
and have to start over" The
tone, however, was that of a
man to whom a new begin
ming was merely a minor in
terruption.

THE RESULT of Mr.. Hold
ems 80 eight-hour days is an
eight-inch circular display
piece. Eventually it will wind
up in the Smithsonian's Sec
ond floor mineral display,
along with the changing ex-
hibit of the birthstone of the
month. At present it is in the
hands Of the color photog-
raphers, who recognize a good
thing when they see it.
Another fabulous Holden'S
display is a map of the United
States, meticulously carved
from native stones Of the 48
States. Each of the States was
carefully cut from a single
stone; then they were pieced
together into an outline map
of the Nation. The oceans, the
Great Lakes and the Gulf of
Mexico we're fashioned from
turquoise.
Once an undertaken, Mr..
Holden went to work for
the Smithsonian in 1887.
Someone talked me into
coming in here nine years
ago." he said, with an inclu-
sive wave around the shop.
The place is crammed with
rocks, meteorites, gemstones
and machines.
He has completed a design
for a new system of display
cases for the mineral exhibit.
This has been adopted by the
Smithsonian and will be put
into use sometime soon.
Mr.. Holden doesn't seem to
care when.

HAVE YOU YIELDED
YOUR LIFE?-

Many Christians are unyielded!
They are afraid that a full sur
render to the Lord will cost too
much. AS someone wrote: "Some
young folks would rather do
something for the Lord than be-
long to the Lord; would rather
support a missionary than become
a missionary-would rather give
than. Co." Such young people are
thwarting Gods plan for their
lives; and they can never know
the joy and satisfaction of a con-
secrated life unless they yield
their bodies a 'living sacrifice"
unto the Lord, which is their "rea-
sonable service" (Rom. 12:1). Be-
loved, God has a plan and pur-
pose for every child of His; and
it is only through that plan that
you and can realize the highest
possibilities for service. However,
God does not press men into serv-
ice; He seeks for volunteers. Isaiah
volunteered, you notice, after his
vision of the Lords glory had
caused him to see his impurity,
and he had been cleansed by a
s'live coal -. from off the altar"
Are impurity and selfish ambi-
tions keeping you from the full
ness of Gods blessing? DR.. A. B.
Simpson one time wrote: There
is only room for one to rule upon
the throne of the heart, and self
must disappear before God will
reign" Do not wait another day
to give God the throne of your
heart and see what He will do
with your life.

our part in prayer ---... -.-.-- ---.-- ------
Some go to God in prayer
AS though they would be heard
BY merit of their earnestness
Or power of their word;
AS though God did not want to
bless
Or to their crying heed,
But might be influenced to hear
If they could prove their need.
Some go to God in prayer
With broken, bleeding hearts,
Craving the peace and victory
Which He alone imparts.
They lay their burdens down
On shoulders that are strong,
Then take them back upon their
own
And carry them along.
Some humbly talk to God;
Confess their helplessneSs,
And, having laid their burdens
down
Trust Him to do the rest.
Such go away in peace
And with the victor'S shout,
To watch with interest, and see
How He will work things out.
