speaks above the voice OF
the politicians and lawmakers OF
the South, that we may become
brethren and not merely good
neighbors for security.
The stocky, Christian leader
from the South made il plair
that because Baptists operate un
der separate conventions, it /:
no indication that we are not
together. Man must come Ia
God is beyond him.
Dr. Mcneil, speaking on the
subject. "A Serious Call to 2
Baptist Advance, said that God
has willcd that we be together
and that we advance together
We must make this kind of wit

be employed by the Govern

If there is such a demand
for future scientists and for
future college graduates. why
can't something be done for
those in my position? I think
it's a poor way of displaying
such interests.

BLOOMS SAVED
Tree Gets
Reprieve in
Bethesda

The Bethesda business dis
trict's lone Japanese cherry
tree has been given a reprieve
by the General Services Ad-
ministration. which was plan
ming to cut 1t down this week,
An official in GSA's engineer
ing department said the order
was issued yesterday afternoon
that the 50-foot tree, now in
full bloom. would remain on a
parking lot adjoining the Be-
thesda Post Office.
Originally the Nicholson En-
cheering Co.. which is doing
the construction work now I'M
derway at the post Office, was
told to remove the tree to make
room for motor scooters used
for mail delivery.
The trees death sentence,
revealed yesterday in early edi-
tons of The Star, brought
many protests from Bethesda
residents who like it because it
is the only foliage in bloom
within blocks.
The GSA official said: IT only
ordered the tree to be cut down
because somebody in the Gov
eminent had to make decision
about it. I have ordered it to
be left standing again because
somebody had to make a de-
cision. If we had cut it down
last January, before it bloomed,
nobody would have noticed"
One of those who was happy
over the GSA's decision was
Mrs. Charles r. Grant, 5207
Battery lane, Bethesda. who re-
called that she helped plant
the tree in a Cherry Blossom
Festival in April, 1888.
my children were terribly
upset when they read in The
Star that the tree was going
to be cut down. They told me
they had seen clippings about
my planting it in some Of ouI
old Scrapbooks."
At that time Mrs. Grant was
Tempe Curry, and had been
named miss Maryland" at the
University of Maryland, where
she was a sophomore. She off,
ciated in the planting ceremony
as part of a Cherry Blossom
parade through Bethesd a

nese cherry trees on both sides
of Wisconsin avenue.
The trees have since been re-
moved to widen Wisconsin
