President Eisenhower felt constrained toI
deny them in a recent press Conference.
Nevertheless, these reports have been
making the rounds for a year now. and the
latest charge that there WAS a distinct
GOODNESS between the two men 49, came from
a writer who had written a book about the
Eisenhower Administration in 1856. Al that
time his publishers claimed he had had ac-
cess to secret White House papers
Mr.. Eisenhower said concerning the re-

he knew of no personal rift Of any kind.

Thomas Aquinas' contribution came at
a time when the basic works of Aristotle
had lust been recovered and made avail
able In Latin These works comprised the
whole range of the natural sciences and Of
philosophical inquiry Some Of the funda-
mental views advanced by Aristotle at first
appeared to be in sharp conflict with the
dogmas of Christianity. and in many quar-
tiers Aristotelianism was denounced and
even offlcially condemned. But Aquinas
insisted that there could be no conflict
between the truths of reason and the truths
of faith, and so he unswervingly undertook
to appropriate for Christianity all the truth
he could find in Aristotle.
It Is true. as you say, that the content
of Greek thought and Christian faith are

not the same. The god Of the Greek phi
losophers Is not the God Of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. nor the God of the Gospels.
The natural theology Of Plato and Aristotle
does not include anything like the charac-
teristically Christian doctrines Of creation,
providence, and redemption. Nevertheless,
1t does contain some basic truths about
the nature Of being and becoming, the
material and the spiritual, the temporal
and the eternal, all of which were of
profound significance in the development
of Christian thought.
In making use Of these materials, the
great Christian thinkers did not mimic
Plato and Aristotle. Their starting point
was always the dogmas Of the Christian
faith, not the principles Of Greek phi
loSophy. To know itself fully, faith sought
understanding. and in SO doing, 1t created
something new. Augustine does not give
us Plato plain, but as Christianized Plato
for the purpose of illuminating Christian
faith. AquinaS does the same with Aris-
totle. And wherever key Christian doc
trineS required it, Augustine and Aquinas
fatty rejected the teachings Of the Greeks

relate the teachings of revelation to the
basic ideas and truths which had been
developed by philosophical or scientific
inquiry. Is 1t any wonder that early Chris
tan thinkers used the highly developed
Greek learning that they knew intimately?
Indeed, some of them, such as Justin
Martyr and Augustine, were pagan philoso-
pliers before their conversion.
Opposition To Paganism
But, you may ask, wasn't early Chris
tianity opposed to paganism and all its
works? Didn't it hold that Christianity
alone possessed all truth and right? Wasn't
paganism regarded as untruth and I'M
righteousness? wouldn't combination Of
Christian faith and Greek philosophy have
seemed an absurd contradiction to early
Christians?
There Is no doubt that some of them
thought precisely that. Tertullian. one Of
the most brilliant apologists Of the early
Christian church, said: what, indeed, has
Athens to do with Jerusalem? What con-
cord Is there between the (Platonic) Acad-
envy and the Church? Away with
all attempts to produce a notified Chris
tianity of Stole, Platonic, and dialectic
composition!" Tertullian speaks for a
school of Christian thought that has
existed down to the present day.
Rightful Inheritance
However, other early Christian thinkers
claimed pagan culture as the rightful in
heritance of Christianity. Augustine COM
pared 1t to the treasures which the Israel
ties appropriated when they departed from
Egypt. He said that Greek philosophy
contains Liberal instruction which is better
adapted to the use of the truth, and some
most excellent precepts of morality, and
some truths in regard even to the worship
of the One God are found among them"
Augustine's use of Platonic philosophy to
interpret Christian doctrine was decisive
factor in the Christianization of pagan
thought and culture.

Standard time will re-
turn gently to the Wash
ington area at 2 am. Sun
day, restoring an hours
sleep to alert citizens who
remember to turn their
clocks back one hour the
night before.
The changeover should
cause a minimum Of con-

hour day to make up for
the 23-hour day last April
26, when daylight time
went into effect.
Nearby Maryland and

The feasibility of a fair in
1864 in one of the three COM
peting cities is being consid-
cred by the Commission. But
the members were urged to
consider the idea for 1866 at
the earliest by Joseph E. Candy
and Even c. Dingwall of
Seattle.
The three man commission
consists Of Harry Bulls, a Min
neapolis industrialist and for
mer chairman Of the Board of
General Mills; Mr.. Nelson,
and Charles Sawyer, of Gin
cinnati and former Secretary
of Commerce.
Mr.. Bulls, in an opening
statement, stressed that time
was pressing on all commission
members. who were anxious to
get their job done.

3 Cities in Running
This is the situation now
as we see it," Mr.. Bulls said.
Los Angeles, New York and
Washington have announced
fair plans in 1864. Seattle plans
its Century 81 Exposition in
1862.
Substantial foreign country
participation is required to con-
struct separate national pa
vilions. These circumstances
make it desirable to consider
working with the international
Bureau of Expositions and its
% member countries" He rea-
soned that exposition rules
thus should be met.
This is the primary issue in
the Seattle proposal. which has
yet to be approved formally by
the international Bureau. Mr.
Bulls also promised to consider
carefully whether the Seattle
Exposition would be jeopardized
by larger international exhibits
shortly afterwards.
The commissions duties are
to determine whether holding
a worlds fair in the United
States is feasible. and if so in
what year and which city.
Their findings will be given

Arlington Unit Split
On Blue Law Issue
Opposing Views
Presented by2
subcommittee
BY PAUL HOPE
Star STAFF Writer

Arlington County's blue
law" committee today stood
split down the middle on
whether there should be a law
banning Sunday business &C
tivities.
Warren Cox, committee
chairman, said it appears the
committee will present a ma
Iority and minority report to
the county governing body, but
he was not sure at this point
which viewpoint will get ma
jority backing. The division
came at a meeting last night.
The 29-member advisory
committee was appointed sew
eral weeks ago by the county
board after the Arlington Min
isterial Association set off q
move for stricter enforcement
of the States Sunday closing
law.
The Virginia law, which is
not uniformly enforced over
the State, permits only house.
hold work or work of necessity
or charity" on Sunday. The
county board asked the COM
mlttee to advise it on what
businesses should be con-
sidered a necessity" and al
lowed to remain open.
200 Stores Open
After the ministerial asso-
cations criticism, police made
a survey and found more than
200 business establishments
open on Sunday, compared to
some 100 a year earlier.
Several cases involving the
blue law are before the courts
in other jurisdictions. Last
week the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals refused to
review a case in which an
Alexandria appliance firm was
fined for selling on Sunday.
Two reports were submitted
to the Arlington committee
last night, one opposing any
closing law and the other
favoring some sort of Sunday
ban.
A subcommittee headed by
the Rev. w. Travis Smith, a
Seventh-Day Adventist minis
ter. opposed Sunday closing
laws. He said it is religious
observance statute and ought
to be taken off the books be-
cause religious observanceS
should not be required by law.
Opposing View
The other subcommittee.
headed by Dudley Babcock,
4831 North Old Dominion drive,
favored Sunday closing laws.
Mr.. Cox said the members in
favor ARE going on a basis of
the principle that there should
be better observance of Sum
day." A majority Of this group
are ministers, he added. They
also are concerned about the
growing number of businesses
staying open on Sunday, he re-
ported.
Mr.. Cox said the committee
split right down the middle"
last night and that he referred
the matter back to the two
subcommittee. When he asked
for members to sign up with
the two subcommittee to draft
final reports from both sides.
nine of the members present
signed with each subcommittee.
