Progress Toward D. c. Home
Rule-On Tuesday | took the Sen
ate Floor TO make plea for
unity in support of the Administra-
ton bill providing territorial home
rule for the District of Columbia.
! felt that this was a step in the
direction of true home rule. which
the residents of the District fully
deserve The territorial plan was
drawn up by the Commissioners

Summit .Conference2-"Nyct,'-
When President Eisenhower agreed
to Premier Khrushchcvs demand
for a summit conference, that
threw the Russians into confusion;
suddenly maybe they didn't want
q summit conference As this is
written. it appears that the summit
conference is off. The Russian
strategy seemed to change when
it became evident that a summit
conference would not give the
Communists propaganda advan-
tagc. In agreeing to the handling
OF the Middle East situation in the
United Nations General Assembly.

as though n Khrushchcv would
be coming here, we were asked
by a prominent newspaper for a
statement as to what in our opinion
he should see in the City of
Washington. Here is our answer:

Neither would | show him our big
department stores or super mar
kets. Not that we want to hide
material accomplishments, but
Khrushchev knows we have these
things. | would show him things
which would indicate where our
real strength lies-in our faith
Yes, our faith in ourselves, our
way of life, our fundamental per-
sonal and national principles
and our faith in God. Let him
visit the National Cathedral which
indicates our cultural ties with
Christian civilization. Let him
visit the Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception, built at cost of
S20000,000 collected in one days
time by free will offerings from
millions of Americans. Let him
visit the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, and see how we honor the
