beating and blackmail can
never be partnership with
evil, even for q spurious peace
in our time, but massive
retaliation" If that policy Is
ever reversed, the death SEN
tence of liberty will be signed
by free men themselves.
Now that he Is gone from
the earthly scene we thank
his God and ours that there
was much Of the stern Pur-
itan in this devout Presby-
terrain elder who, like Wood
row Wilson, was reared under
spires Of the spirit In q
church manse. His religious
faith was not something he
held, it was something which
held him. It was not some
thing just to sing about on
Sundays-and he did that
regularly as, in spite Of ter
rife presSures he fed his
soul at church services. His
faith was something to be
dominant and paramount in
national and international
affairs. To John Foster Dulles
diplomacy was not so much
a matter Of deals as Of ideals.
He was certain about de-
mocracy. He had a tremen-
dous belief in America. He
knew our failures and sang
and prayed with utter sim
certify and contrition, Amer
lea, America, God mend thine
every flaw" But he believed,
with Ralph Barton Perry:
"As Americans we have
swung so far towards self
abasement that we can now
recover a right balance OF
moral force only by a con-
scious recovery of pride
proud of being Americans.
and above all, proud that de-
mocracy is the best form OF
society that man has devised.
That 1t has made some head
way against servitude and In
humanity is reason for pride
and reason for faith in the
power Of America to ascend
the long, hard pathway that
lies ahead"
AS the body of this Ger
tain" man was tenderly es-
corted by perhaps the most
distinguished company ever
to follow q casket to storied
Arlington, the city of the
dead, q military band played
a hymn of faith heroes-the
melody set the stirring words
singing many a mourner's
mind:
They climbed the steep ascent
to hedUen
Through peril, toll and
pain
o, God, to US may grace be
0iUen
To tollot0 in their train.
And now let John Foster
Dulles have the last word at
his own funeral as death
came to the Cathedral. Here
are his words which we feel
certain this certain man
would want to broadcast to
the Nation and to the world.
AS all eulogies cease, and all
the music dies away, being
dead he speaketh. Let all the
world listen to his words:
The free worId should not
be numbed By the sight OF
this past graveyard OF hui
man liberties. 1t is the deSpots
tDho should feel haunted.
They, not Ue, should fear
the future.

A drive for contributions to

DR.. James M. Moss is to be
commended for taking issue
with DIR. Thomas E. Mat
tingly whose letters have ap-
peared in this paper so often
that he might be considered
by some readers to be en-
ployed by The Star.
Many of his letters have
been of a fiammable nature,
and the fact that he affixes
M. D. to his name would lead
some TO think that he speaks
on behalf Of other men and
women in the medical pro-
fession.
No one has the right to
deny DR.. Mattingly the priv
ilege Of speaking his mind,
but he should avoid making
statements that tend to create
controversial issues. He must
learn to counsel with himself
before giving vent to his
feelings.
There is a prescribed code
of ethics that doctors follow,
and to deviate from this
formality is in poor taste.
AS a lay person, he is free to
express himself in the man
ner he chooses, but as a
doctor, it changes the COM
plexion Of his remarks.
Those who take the Hip
pocratic oath and have
earned the right to wear the
caduceus, should respect their
colleagues and the medical
profession with utmost con-
sideration. This would elm
mate public criticism.

DR.. James M. Moss requests
DR.. Thomas Mattingly ION
behalf of all the physicians
in the Washington Metro
politan Area never to mail a
letter to the editor until he
has had a chance to read it
over several times during a
period of several days" This
may very well be DR.. Moss
own opinion, and I would not
quarrel with him for that.
However, I happen to be a
physician in the Metropolitan
Area and I am certain that
DR.. Moss does not speak for
me. For years I have looked
forward to reading DR.. Mat
tingly's letters to the various
papers and I do hope that he
will not allow DR.. Moss opin-
ion to discourage him from
continuing to write his stimu-
lating and challenging letters.

said on May 81, 1909: Pres

SPIRES or The SPIRIT
Death in the Cathedral
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain OF the United States Senate


The Cathedral on Mount
st. Alhan In Washington be-
longs to the Nation. On the
last Wednesday in the month
of May it belonged to the
world. It was then that death
came to the Cathedral in O
fiag-draped casket. That cof-
I'm was the magnet that
drew to the great church
notables In government and
diplomacy from around the
world.
With the aggressive forces
of evil threatening everything
fine and fair on the earth,
John Foster Dulles had been
the incarnation Of morality.
justice and righteousness.
Now death had struck down
that shining mark and given
the signal for the most
notable funeral Of modern
times.
The sad occasion proved q
deserved tribute at the sum-
NIT Of national and interna-
tional recognition. It was an
amazing phenomenon that
on the very date the slave
master Of the Kremlin had
marked for the West vir-
tually to surrender its claim
and responsibilities in Berlin
q wave Of acclaim swept the
world for the man whose
stubborn stand had been his
nemesis. Yet even the slave
system Of police states which
degrades individual PERSONAL
ity, and against whose vile
blasphemieS the American
Secretary Of State flung the
strength Of his dedicated
ability, sent representatives
and messages to join in a
universal acclaim to q re-
spected antagonist.
Perhaps the most potent
rebuke to the wobbly critics
of the inflexible attitude Of
the statesman who. In death,
is seen in his true stature.
was from the lips of the
Soviet leader who lately ped
died his deceptive wares
across our continental ex-
panse. Said Mikoyan: "Mr.
Dulles was a very great
statesman. We like strong
men. We do not like uncer-
tain ones. We prefer such
strong people to those who
are smooth but not intelli-
gent" Yes, Mr.. Mikoyan, our
Secretary of State was sure
and certain. That was why
he refused to bend" and to
be flexible" at the demand
Of satanic forces.
To John Foster Dulles
spiritual values were not rela-
tive. They were absolute.
They were to be sustained
and practiced at any cost.
To him, when anybody. any
where, imagining a vain
thing sets out to debunk the
Ten Commandments and the
Sermon on the Mount, he is
preparing for himself and
those who join his rebellion
against God, hell in this
world to say nothing Of the
next. To the Injunction OF
the high priest Of regimenta-
ton, Lenin, that for expedi-
enjoys sake sit is necessary
to use any ruse, cunning,
unlawful methods, even con-
cealment of the TRUTH" his
certain and defiant answer
were the words of Micah:
what doth the Lord re-
quire on thee but to do
Justly and to love mercy and
to walk humbly with thy
God?"
Here was q man certain
that he and his nation are
in a life-and-death struggle
with malignant forces which,
unless the falsity Of their
doctrines is revealed and
the light of the truth turned
on their own darkened and
enslaved people, will contain
mate the whole earth.
Rather than submit he de-
clared the free world must go
to the brink" of war and,
if necessary, to war itself,
horrible as that prospect is.

CRESTVIEW, Fla, Oct. 81
(AP). - A plumbers error
plunged this town of 10000
persons into a night of terror
Five persons were injured in
three explosions last night after
butane gas gushed into the
city water system.
Mayor Harry Booth said the
plumber got his lines mixed
while working at a small cafe
and hooked a gas line from a
250-gallon tank onto a water
main. Butane gas is used for
heating.
The cafe was the first to
blow up. 1t was almost de-
stroyed and a 5-year-old boy,
Larry Thompson, was injured.
A short while later Mrs.
Carolyn Eiland Kennedy start
ed TO brush her teeth at her
fathers home. When she
turned on the water spigot, gas
fumes reached a pilot light on
a heater in the bathroom, and
an explosion followed. She and
her father, Arthur Eiland, were
slightly injured.
The third explosion occurred
at the home of Miss Elizabeth
Dennis, supervisor of lunch
rooms for the county school
system. She and a teacher
Miss Lille Waldron, were in
jured. Those two and young
Larry were hospitalized.

Blasts Terrify Town
As Spigots Gush Gas

After the trouble was found,
area television stations and po-
lice with megaphones warned
residents not to turn on their
water.
The Mayor said early today
that thousands of gallons of
water had been flushed from
all the mains and they were
believed cleared of the gas.
Doubt remained, however
about water lines into homes in
a six-block area. The water
superintendent and f1remen
spent" the night checking all
the homes in that area.
Mayor Booth said there
wasn't any danger as long as
residents were not using water
The fires started by the
blasts were put out, but not
without some trouble. After
the water in the fire engines
tank was exhausted, the truck
had to go to the edge of town
to replenish its supply with
water that did not have gas
in it.
The Mayor said the city
would make a thorough investi-
cation into the plumbers mis-
take. He said it was too early
to say whether any charges
would be filed.
Fire Chief Vernon Powell
identified the plumber as John
Stanford.

Woman Changes Mind,
Stoys Off Lost Plane

"a phone call from her nephew
HE said he had been waiting
at the airport all night but she
hadn't arrived" Mrs. Murphy
said. THAT was the first I knew
something was wrong. She was
supposed to have been on that
plane"
Mrs. Murphy decided to drive
to Charlottesville and wait fol-
word on the fate of the plane
and its passengers.
Then as she prepared to
leave-about 7:45 a.m.-she re-
ceived another phone call.
1t was Mrs. Miller on the
phone.
She had not boarded the
plane after all. Her friends had
picked her up at the airport
in their car and they decided
to drive instead. At Harrison
burg, Va, they were delayed by
a fiat tire.
They're safe" Mrs. Murphy
said. 1T was only a fiat tire.
