While the Washington Cathe-
dral episcopal Cathedral Of st.
Peter and st. Paul. is not off,
Icially designated as the national
church for the Episcopal denom-
ination. 1t performs many of the
functions associated with such
a church. In some ways it goes
beyond most national churches
since the Washington Cathedral
has established a policy Of being
"a house Of prayer for others be-
side Episcopalians.
The National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception on the
Catholic University campus
serves as the national church
for Roman Catholics. This great
structure. whose cornerstone was
laid on September %. 1922. is
now being completed at an esti-
mated cost Of SO million.
All these national churches
serve as home away from home
for members of a denomination
or faith living here and for the
thousands of visitors who come
to Washington each year. Their
importance as symbols of our
country's fundamental belief in
God looms larger every day as

try's religious life.

Last ofSeven
.Arroigned in
Raid on Club

The last of seven defendants
arrested in a raid on the Atlas
Club appeared yesterday before
Municipal Judge Andrew How
ard.
He is Maurice T. Roach, 10,
OF 214l l street NV. who vol
unfairly gave himself up. He was
released on his personal bond to
appear for trial on January II.
All seven are charged with
being present on February II,
1856, at the club in the 1900
block of E street NV, while
nine other men were allegedly
gambling at dice when police
raided.
The charges were ordered
dropped last month because the
government was not ready to
prosecute.
Subsequently, United States
Attorney Oliver Gasch ordered
the seven men to be re-charged
and the case reopened.
Five of the seven charged with
presence during the game have
been released on $500 bond. Two,
including Mr.. Roach. were placed
on personal bonds. All seven
cases will be heard on Janu-
airy II.

Judge Seeking
Settlement Of
DORA Battle

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (R.-The
great legal battle over the Stock
holm Andrea DORA sea disaster
resumes Monday. 1t may be
nearing an end-years sooner
than expected.
Federal Judge Irving r, Kaut-
man wants to cut through the
wrangling, verbiage and maneu-
lvering to bring a settlement be-
fore the case actually goes to
trial.
At stake are hundreds of dam
age suits and claims, totaling
more than $55 million, and
growing out of the July IS COL
lision which took so lives and
sent the Italian luxury liner to
the bottom of the Atlantic.
To simplify matters. all the
suits have been Jumped together
llnCO single case.
Up to now, all the legal fire.
work have been centered in
hearings held to take dispositions
sworn Standardization Off
GERS and crewmen of the two
ships. This progress began Sep
ltember 10 and continued until
recessed for Christmas.
5000 Pages of Testimony
The purpose of the hearings,
in which witnesses are ques-
toned and cross-examined much
as in a trial, is to take testi-
mony from persons who might
not be readily available when
the trial opens.
So far the testimony fills
nearly 5000 typewriter pages.
Probably all this would be en-
tered into evidence should the
case go to trial.
In addition, there probably
would be much more testimony
cross-examination and legal
arguments over points of law
Those close to the matter figure
the trial would take at least two
years. plus more time for APP
peals of any verdict reached.
Some have guessed that as much

cordingly.
There are numerous other laws
and regulations under which
damage claims might be limited
If the case goes to trial. the court
will have to decide which are
applicable.
All Swedish testimony in the
Ipre-trial hearing has been taken
except that of Capt. Gunnar
