bers Of the Grand Lodge and its

lilies and friends that religion
gives us courage enough to face
life with all its troubles and
trials and temptations"
Some young people today lack
the enthusiasm that real reli-
gion fosters for what is good
and right today because their
elders lack 1t, he said.

He challenged his audience to
become in your homes and in
your personal life more enthus-
iastic about what is right and
good and true"
He asked his listeners to "set
before our children and young
people pattern of living that
they will do well to emulate. .
DR.. Latch. pastor of Metropoli-
tan Memorial Methodist Church
commended the Masons for join
ing in a demonstration of graft
tude to the Supreme Grand
Master" commenting that often
I'VE are ever too ready to pray

rights of citizens" Mr.. Hanson
charged.
He pointed out that the area,
zoned for exclusive residential
development, has been eStab-
lished with a minimum lot size
of two acres by the Montgomery
County Council. He added that
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
had recommended that several
zones be established in the
county along this line for the
development Of low density resi-
dental use.
Outside Sanitary District
Mr.. Hanson said the site was
well outside the sanitary dis
trict and that its construction
could lead to the levy of the
commission taxes on Potomac
area residents who already pro-
vide their own water and sewage
services.
Mr.. Hanson also leveled an at
tack at Harry B. Shaw, chief en-
gineer Of the commission, for his
analysis "belittling" and earlier
presentation made by the Watts
Branch DIRECTORS.
Mr.. Hanson said the commits
sion made no mention Of the
Watts Branch site in its 1856
annual report which listed 2s
subjects under the title looking
ahead"
mo wonder the people of the
Potomac maryland area feel
that this commission has not
acted in good faith with them
in asking their cooperation in
trying to reach an agreement as
to where the Potomac River
should be tapped" Mr.. Hanson
said.
In urging a review of the en-.
tire matter, Mr.. Hanson said the
objectors felt the commission
members "have been misguided
and i'll advised in your approach
to date"

The
Rambler
Checks Out
Hotel Manager
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Washington is about to lose
one of its better citizens. Gard
ner Moore, manager of the
Shoreham, is leaving to run
a hotel of his own.
Almost everyone in the
hotel business wants a little
place of his own. But the
Pennsylvania resort hotel
which Gardner owns is no
small one. The Bedford
SPRINGS Hotel may not be a
Greenbrier or Homestead, but
1t has 260 rooms and an 18-
hole golf course and it crosses
about 81 million a year.
The Shoreham, which he
has managed since it opened
in 1880, crossed about SIS
million.
Gardner is a truly modest
man and he was quite af-
fected, eyes watery and all
that, at a little party the
Epicureans gave him last
week. That's the chefs or
ganization.
Nick Marchitelli Of the
Mayfiower, Emil BuisSon of
the Statler. Eddie Dziura of
the Shoreham and Ray WAL
ters Of the Cafe Burgundy
he's president of the club
were there with about 80
Others, all in the food BUSH
ness. What touched Gardner
was the little speech by
Papa" (Claude) Jarrin, for
mer chef at old Wardman
Park. Gardner is not a tall
man but Papa is so tiny that
he had to go up on his tip
toes to pin the club emblem
on Gardeners lapel, making
him, as Papa put it, "the only
honorary member in the his
tory Of the club"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-24

WHAT WAS the best story
of his 81 years at the Shore
ham?
"Oh, l don't know" said
Gardner. Names? We've had
all the names here. All sorts
of strange things happen like
the Saudi Arabians giving $50
tips for shoe shines"
Then he started to laugh.
There was that little
Chinaman who was SO home
SICK" Gardner said.
"A Chinese banker, from
Shanghai, I think, who was
president of the bankers in
ternational organization, ar
rived here with quite a re-
tinue. 1t was almost a state
visit. The State Department
had its protocol and security
people at the airport to meet
them and the Chinese we're
herded into waiting limou-
sines and arrived here with
a motorcycle escort.
"Just after we had them all
taken care of, l came upon
this little Chinese wandering
along one Of the corridors.
did he have a room, !
asked.
He spoke English well
enough. He made it clear
that he didn't want a room;
he wanted to 60 home" ,
"Homesick already, l said
TO myself.
Il assured him we could
make him quite comfortable
and perhaps he would feel
differently about going home
right away after he got used
TO things here.
Il could see that l wasn't
making any sense to the man.
He insisted that he wanted
to go home; that he didn't
need a room.
Where's your home? !
asked,
Alexandria. Va he said,
1T turned out that he was
a Chinese laundryman who
had been VISITING friends in
San Franciscos Chinatown
and had been bundled into
the bankers party on aIight-
Ing at National Airport.

World War 1 came along,
Gardner became a pilot but
didn't get to France. After
the war he went to work at
the Wardman Park as audi
tor, then became assistant

When Harry Bralove was

Electric Code
Revision Hit

The District Commissioners
were urged today to refuse to
adopt a 450-page electric code
revision until Congress and the
courts had settled the codes
most controversial provision.
Maurice Friedman. represent
ing the District Electrical Com
tractors Association. made the
plea at a hearing before Assist
ant Engineer Commissioned rob
ert Mathe.
The major controversy over
the code was stirred by a proviso
requiring professional engineers
to approve any electrical install
lation of 200 or more amperes.
Until February. electricians could
do these jobs without engineers.
On February 20. the Commits
sioners put the 200-ampere CELL
ing on licensed electricians jobs.
City fathers held separate hear
Il ngs on this one section of the
revised code, which was put be-
fore a public hearing in its en-.
tirety for the first time today.
Section Called Illogical
Mr.. Friedman pointed out that
since February electricians had
sought a District Court order to
Iinvalidate the engineer-electri-
clan regulation. The suit has
been heard and now is under
advisement. he noted. Bills also
have been introduced in both the
Senate and the House to free
electricians from the limit.
This adopted section is IL
logical and irrational" Mr..
Friedman said. 1T pays tribute
to engineers for no reason. 1t
will take business away from
private contractors and electro
Clans and rob the public of serv-
Ices"
Licenses and Inspections Di-
rector Cabell Gwathmey said he
would continue to enforce the
regulation, 'the only one in the
entire code about which there is
a dispute" until otherwise di-
rected by the Commissioners OF
District Court.
Boucher Backs Friedman
K. d. Boucher. of the Mechani-
cal Contractors D. c. Association
backed Mr.. Friedman's opposi-
tion TO the clear line between en-
gineering and electrical RESPONSE
bilities. He suggested that cleo.
Itricians be allowed to install
larger electrical work in resi-
dences.
Gerhard P. Van Arkel, repre-
senting the Clothing Machine
Operators Protective Union Local
1924. and r. w. Shaw. of the
National Electrical Manufac-
turers Association. objected Il
other sections OF the revised
code.
Movie machine operators
should be licensed. Mr.. Var
Arkel insisted. Revisions re.
quire them only to be qualified
Mr.. Van Arkel said this was in
sufficient protection for theater-
goers.
Mr.. Shaw noted that outlets
could be overloaded by large
kitchen appliances. under tn,
revisions. and also asked FOL
stricter rules on replacing cables
in damp ground.
Safety Methods Cited
A. Julian Brylawski. OF tn,
Commissioner Building Cod,
Advisory Committee, testified
that licensing motion picture OPP
orators was outmoded by safet,
developments within the motion
picture industry. Requiring more
outlets for kitchen appliances
would cause prohibitive cost
with no important safety pro-
tections. he said.
Testimony is expected to reach
the Board OF Commissioners ii
transcript form within tire,
weeks, Mr.. Gwathmey said.

It's downright naive OF ad-
ministration spokesmen TO talk
seriously Of a slash in nom
defense spending on a scale
large enough to offset the cer-
tain squirt in defense spending
In 1858.
1t simply will not be done
not against the economic and
political background that now
can be foreseen.
II Suptnik had been hurled
into space at a time when the
American economy was in a
roaring boom. it's possible that
Congress would have been will
ing TO heed official pleas for
savings in a long list Of Gov
eminent activities.
It's at least possible. For the
justifiable fear then would have
been that, with the economy
already straining at the seams,
O major step-up in defense
spending without a correspond
ing cutback in non defense
spending would send US into
an inflationary upsurge.

But the Soviets have made
their massive challenge TO our
leadership and power at a time
when the American economy is
hardly in q roaring boom.
In fact, it's in a perceptible
downturn. When Congress gets
