citation of the incalculable
value of freedom Of the spirit.
1.-THE worship of riches was
the idolatry that Roosevelt at
tackled because it was the most
threatening in his day. But
we may rest assured that what
he hated was idolatry, not
merely the one idol that hap
pened to have most worshippers
at the time. II he were living
today he would attack no less
violently the popular idols Of
our time, chief of which is that
fear Of freedom that tries to
fasten chains, not on the wrists
and ankles, but on the minds
of men,"

Bishop Werner said. when a
family around the corner is re-

an who is a semi-invalid gets
an official notice to become
active or else-we need to ex-
ercise some care in this action
of eliminating people. You
can't put people out Of the
church with a mimeographed
mandate"
The speaker asserted people
who are frightened and VIC
timized with the feeling Of
something lacking in their lives"

Teddy Roosevelt might have
roared with pleasure at the
Capitals 1858 Independence
Day celebration.
The day was partly his, and
1t was his kind of day-ex-
plosive with fireworks and
laughter and full of crowds
waving flags, and patriotic
music and oratory.
He might not have reveled
In the weather, however. Cele-
brants stayed wet much OF the
day-from perspiration in 90
degree heat early, and from
showers later.
Thick on Bridge
But even the elements CO.
operated to some extent. The
first raindrops fell only after
the fireworks display-billed as
the biggest ever-had ended at
10 pm. and the 215,O0O
watchers "a park police estl-
mate) had started dispensing.
The multitude that gathered
for the 21a-hour show covered
both grassy banks of the Poto-
mac River near Theodore
Roosevelt Island, which was
formally dedicated as a part OF
Roosevelt Centennial Year pro-
eramming. They stood in thick
rows on Memorial Bridge
closed to through traffic-and
sat or leaned against every in
animate object in sight.
Some Disappointed
It was the first year the ira
ditional celebration was held
away from the Washington
Monument Grounds, and many
veteran viewers were disap-
pointed-especially with the
fireworks from the island.
"At the Monument" ParE
Police Inspector Melvin H
Leach explained, "you wer'
closer to the pits where they
fired. You could actually fee
the ground tremble with the
impact, and you could see the
shower of big sparks directly
overhead. Here, you are almos'
o mile away"
Even so, the spectacular
splashes in the sky impressed
onlookers. Each multi-colorec
sunburst was greeted with {
round of breath-catchint
"oohs" and "aahs."
The crowds began gathering
before noon. BY midafternoor
a passing observer barely coulC
see the ground for the cluster
of families. Some parents
brought out playpens anC
makeshift cribs to house theil
offspring while waiting for thu
show.

N Probers Question
$4,000 Quiz Winner

The programs producers,
Jack Barry and Dan Enright.
denied Mr., Stempel's claims
when he voiced them several
weeks ago. On advice Of attor-
neys they declined comment
after Mr.. Snodgrass aired his
yesterday.
Mr., SnodgrasS also kept the
pot boiling today with a further
statement, obtained by the New
York Post, that an official Of
"2l" asked him to suppress the
facts If he were called in for
questioning by the district at
torney.
II told him that / would tell
the truth, but that l wouldn't
volunteer any information"
Mr.. SnodgrasS related to the
newspaper.
Mr.. Snodgrass, an artist. said
the program official was the
same one who had coached him
in answers before his appear
ances in mid-l957. He said the
official was not Mr.. Barry or
Mr.. Enright, and that he didn't
know whether they were aware
Of the mans activities.
Issue Statement
Soon after these comments
v ore published, Mr.. SnodgrasS'
attorneys issued a statement
saying they wanted to make it
clear that the TV man had not
sought to persuade the artist to
Iperjure himself in any way.
IN fairness to the TV Of
fetal, it should be noted that
the request pertained only to
an appearance before the dis
trict attorney at a time when
Mr.. Snodgrass was not under
oath and when no question Of
committing perjury was in
volved," the statement said.
The National BroadcaSting
Co., which recently bought the
"2l" program from Barry and
Enright for a reported $4.8 mil
lion, has announced it also is
investigating Mr.. SnodgrasS'
allegations.
A similar announcement
came from Pharmaceuticals,

sponsor of the program.
Operations of other quiz
