The Star suggested a plain

1895. said: "A number Of
rowdies are in the habit Of
stationing themselves at the
various entrances to the
Smithsonian grounds where
they take occasion to insult
ladies and little girls who
may chance to pass unat-
tended. The police have
been informed Of their do
ings. but they, 1t seems. are
powerless to catch the young

spicuous uniform, which al

action prevents parents from

This school board decision

be spent unnecessarily.
I ask the school board to
support policies that will
broaden the scope Of PTA
purchases. Put in the fore

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
On Fearful Saints
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

In such Q world as ours
there Is q surprisingly large
number Of good people who
are full Of gloom with regard
TO the future. For too many.
their so-called religious faith
Is q sort Of whistling-in-the-
dark. They say they believe
in God, but act as II they
have come to the conclusion
that the world is going to
the devil.
The foreboding Of fearful
saints Is an indication Of the
ebbing tides Of faith. @. X.
Chesterton said: "Pessimism
may often be q poison. and
sometimes q medicine, but
never O food"
For Christians, pessimism
is O betrayal Of o religion
which sprang out Of an
instrument Of torture - q
Cross-and with that sign as
. symbol 1t has lifted the
gates Of empires OF their
hinges, turned the streams
Of history into new channels,
and still governs the years."
The antidote for pessimism
Is perspective. It Is in lis
tening to the years rather
than to the hours. The years
make US sure that crosses,
tortures, concentration and
slave camps, the crack Of
tyrants' whips. even bombs.
are not the final words. At
last the gates Of hell cannot
prevail.
The same English writer
who spoke Of pessimism
depicts the fearless witness
Of one who refused to be en-
quilted in the rising flood Of
gloom. In these lifting lines:
Though giant rains put out
the sun.
Here stand I for a sign:
Though earth be filed tDtth
pdters dark,
MY cup Is flled fDith iUine,
Say to the trembling priests
that here,
Under the deluOe rod.
One nGmeless. tdttered, bro
ken man
Stood up and drank to God.
Chesterton is here pictur-
ing q modern man who had
maintained q victorious. jubi-
liant mood as 1t is mirrored
in the New Testament. It was
Q time strikingly like ours Of
which we have q record in
the fascinating story which
we know as the Gospel Of st.
Luke. It's writer was o ply
sician. In the 21st chapter Of
DR.. Luke's record we have
what someone has called "a
devastating catalogue Of crises
and convulsions. Of formid-
able. ruthless forces, playing
havoc with good mems
dreams. Of persecution, racial
hatred and martyrdom."
Here Is o picture Of nation
rising against q nation, Of
denominations and tribula-
tions. Of wars and the rumors
Of war. Then comes advice as
to what to do when these
things come to pass. What is
1t? Cast yourself to the
ground In depression and de-
feat? Abandon hope and wait
for the worst? No, Just the
opposite: when these things
come to pass" the early
Christians were exhorted,
'lift up your heads, for your
redemption and salvation is
not far away; 1t is drawing
near"
Here is the sound Of the
trumpets we desperately need
in these days. Too often our
labels based upon the times
in which we live are libels
against the Divine Sover-
eighty. They send US scurry-
ing to join the ranks Of
gloomy defeatists.
An unforgettable line Of
an old hymn reminds us that
God moves in a mysterious
way. His wonders to per-
form" This sentence does
not belong in q religious
museum. It is freighted with
tremendous truth. But the

With Iruq

CAIRO, July % (AP).-
President Nasser blamed the
rift between Iraq and the
United Arab Republic on Com
munist intrigue last night and
called for close friendship with
a unified, independent Bagh-
dad regime.
Col. NasSer's remarks APP
peared to be a response to 1raqi
Premier Abdel Karin KaSsem's
olive branch a few days ago,
when Gen. Kassem said the
Arabs should close their ranks.
But Col. Nasser also ex-
pressed hurt surprise that what
he called slurring insults have
continued to come from Bagh-
dad radio and the Peoples
Court in the Iraqi capital.
A huge throng cheered Col.
Nasser at the outdoor rally in
Republic Square. held on the
eve of the seventh anniversary
OF the Egyptian revolution.
Col. Nasser asserted that his
JAR government opposes union
or federation with Iraq at this
time and only desires friendly
partnership.
"All we hope is that the
Iraqi people achieve solidarity
and do not allow any oppor-
tunity for civil warfare" he
said. 1--WE hope the Iraqis will
refuse to listen to Communist
slogans"
Col. NasSer asserted that
Arab Communists had worked
against JAR unity from bases
in Baghdad and then sought
to disrupt relations between
Cairo and Baghdad.
Col. NaSser said he and his
supporters were blamed for
the abortive revolt in Mosul,
in northeast Iraq, last March.
But he claimed the Commu-
nists launched both the out
break in Mosul and the revolt
last week in Kirkuk 80 as to
establish a base from which
they could attack the rest of
the world"

Cuban press is no longer free,
He accused UPI Of torpid,
stupid Vaccinations" against

Immediate comment.
Mr.. Castro also blasted the
local papers, accusing them Of
throwing in the towel" be-
cause some Of them had sug-
gested mercy in dealing with
the revolutions enemies.
At almost the same time Mr..
Castro was speaking. President
OSvaldo Dorticos told a ques-
toner on another television
program there are no Com
munists in the revolutionary
government but he is not an
anti-Communist because that
phrase has been over ex-
plotted"
Explains Position
Mr.. Dorticos explained that
to say he is anti-Communist
would give the impression that
he is aligned with those accus-
ing his government of Com
munist inf1ltration. This APP
peared an oblique reference to
ex-President UUutia, whose
expressions Of anti-Communist
sentiment drew a charge of
near treason" from Mr.. Castro
and led to his resignation.
Mr.. Urrutia was accused of
treason in a denunciation filed
yesterday in Supreme Court by
Raul Gomez Quintero, a local
lawyer who said he was acting
on his own responsibility as a |
of Mr.. Castro's revo-
lutionary movement.
Mr.. Gomez asked that Mr.. !
Urrutia be imprisoned pending
government action. The acting
court president, Julio Garceran,
said he would study the petit
ton to determine whether any
action is required.
Since his resignation Mr..
Urrutia has been in seclusion
at his brother-in-law's home.
The home is surrounded by
guards, but the government
says the ex-President asked for
them for protection.

The United States Court Of
Appeals has for the second. time
refused TO review the Munici-
pal Court conviction Of a man
on charges Of unlawful entry
and petty larceny on grounds
he already has served his

The man. George H. Williams

entry into q restaurant and
petty larceny. He had waived
Jury trail and conviction was

Franklin Dea, contended that
williams arrest had been with
out probable cause and that
evidence in the case was illegally
introduced at the trial. Attor-
ney Dea also contended that
his client should be cleared of
the convictions even after serv-
ing time.
Last January 2. Williams
conviction had been affirmed
by the Municipal Court Of APP
peals. The United States Court
Of Appeals then was asked to
review the case.
On March 8. in a 2-to-1 deci-

late court refused to review,
holding that the case was moot
because Williams already had
