Can't Scorn Women

On the WWDC radio pro-
gram District Roundtable"
on January 10, Carl Shipley,
chairman Of the District
Republican Committee, ex-
pressed his opinion that civic
activity should be channeled
through the two major politi-
cal parties. He said, in part,
When you get to the League
Of Women Voters you get
highly specialized professional
lobbies who represent too
narrow a point Of view some
times for the public veal to be
served"
The basic purpose of the
league, as stated in its ma
tional program, is ito pro-
mote political responsibility
through informed and active
participation Of citizens in
government" This purpose is
carried out both nationally
and in some 1000 local
leagues through study and
action on governmental is
sues selected democratically
by the members. This year
the national program items,
which are being studied by
members. throughout the
United States. are a re-eval-
uation Of United States
foreign policy and the con-
servation and development Of
water resources. In addition,
the League of Women Voters
OF the District Of Columbia
has chosen to work on %
local self-government and ma
tional suffrage, (2) the Juve-
nile Court. 80 urban re-
newal and a. goals and
standards Of the District
schools. On the basis Of ear
lier study and member con-
senSus, we also testify at
budget and other public
hearings on behalf of public
health and other programs.
The voters service of the
District League not only pro-
vides information to thou
sands Of absentee voters
'(many Of whom do not wish
to visit the voters service bu-
reaus Of the political parties,
but also stimulates registra-
ton and voting in the District
primary elections.
1t is apparent, therefore,
that the league is far from
highly specialized" We are
convinced that our points of
view. arrived at after careful
study and full discussion by
a membership which is open
to any woman citizen, cannot
fairly be described as too
narrow for the public veal
to be well served"
However, just because the
league is strictly nonpartisan
does not mean that we do
not believe in the two-party
system. We urge our mem
bers to join the party of their
choice with the exception of
board members during their
term OF office). Many women
now prominent in both par
ties and holding elective and
appolntive Office received
their training in the League
OF Women Voters. There are
many lines of parallel ac-
tiVity for the District League
and both local parties, so we
hope that cooperation and
not competition will govern
our future relations.
Mrs. Haskell ROsenblum,
President, D. c. League of
Women Votare

down. Saint Mark takes
only ITO words to tell how
the Apostle at the trial of
Jesus denied to a servant.
girl that he had ever even
known the prisoner. The
Galilean stood for the highest
and best things that had
ever entered Peters life. In
spite of his previous loud
boasting of loyalty to the
death, he went back on his
best. OF course that sort of
moral catastrophe is not nee
essarily the final verdict, as
Peters later glorious record
proves. But the entry in his
biography must stand-once
he let Jesus down.
One Of the most effective
preachers in England, my
very dear friend, DR.. William
Sangster, has prepared many
hundreds Of people for church
membership. Recently he
turned to a revealing page Of
his ministry. A certain mid
dle-aged woman-a servant
in an English home-timidly
took the first steps looking
toward becoming a member
OF the church. But in spite
Of several conversations with
the minister she held back
from actually being formally
received into the church's fell
lowship. She had a temper
not a violent one, but one
she had struggled to tame.
DR.. Sangster found that when
this same woman, "in serv-
ice" in a preachers home
many years before, had
greatly desired to join the
church the minister's wife
had opposed it on the ground
that her occasional out
bursts of temper would let
the Lord down." Now once
more she stood on the thresh-
old. My friend explained in
simple words the grace that
kept as well as saved. He told
her that even Christians
slipped sometimes, though
true Christians never wal
lowed. He assured her that
the church was not composed
OF the fully sanctified, but of
those who were reaching out
for it. But in this dear soul
the fear fingered that if she
took the step she might let
the Lord down.
Finally, after teetering on
the brink for a year, she said
Yes" After the reception
service, with a look of awe
and rapture on her face as
the one who was now her pas
tor gave her the hand Of fell
lowship, she whispered, "I
mustn't let the Lord down,
must ~" Two days later
came one Of the terrible air
raids over London. A block
OF apartments in Fulham had
been hit. There were a num-
Der of unidentified bodies.
DR.. Sangster knew that sec
ton so well the authorities
asked if he could help in the
Identification. Let him tell
the rest of the story:
There she was dead, but
quite undisfigured. She
seemed just asleep, half smil-
ing as though to say, I didn't
let the Lord down!
When I have marked un-
worthy and unrepented be-
havior in people who seem to
see no contradiction between
evil gossip and Christian
discipleship-when I have
stumbled myself on the flinty
path-I have remembered
her words, I must not let
the Lord down."

rs Years Ago

Federal agents 25 years
ago continued their relent-
less drive against public
enemies, and on January 16.
1885, in a story from
Oklawaha, Fla, The Star re-
ported: Erred Barker, long
sought for the kidnapping of
Edward G. Bremen, wealthy
St. Paul banker, and his
mother, Ma Barker, were
shot to death today by De-
partment of Justice agents
after a withering siX-hour
machine gun battle. Just
after the furious battle ended
the Federal agents said two
men and a woman had been
killed, but a later check dis
closed that only the Barkers
were slain. Apparently they
were the only occupants Of
the house. The agents suf-
fered no known casual
ties :"
The cost of living was ris-
ing Is years ago, too. The
Star. on January %, 1885,
said: "An increase of l
per cent in the cost Of living
Of Government employees liv-
ing in Washington was re-
corded in the five month pc
riod from June to November,
1884, 1t was announced today
by 1sadore Lubin, manager Of
the Bureau Of Labor Statis-
tics. The figure was arrived at
as the average Of IL classif1-
cations Of necessities. :"

looking to the honoring of
Gen. Robert E. Lee. his birth
day was marked in a pecu-
liar fashion at the Capitol
today. A Daughter of the
Conferacy quietly had placed
on the statue of Gen. Lee in
Statuary Hall a handsome
bouquet of flowers.
Old employees at the Capitol
say they do not remember a
similar occurrence. :"

Grounding Pilots

AS q non-airline pilot who
genuinely believes that Fed
eral Aviation Agency's rule
to disqualify airline pilots
at age so is arbitrary and
dictatorial, I cannot pass
Carl E. Wilbur's letter "Avi-
alton Medicine"
Mr.. Wilbur apparently be-
lieves that those who take
exception to FAA's medical
head Of a benevolent autoc-
racy" are contributors Of
"diatribes directed at his
competent and responsible
actions (that) lead one to
believe that his critics basic
ally resent his authority
rather than the content of
the regulations"
He states, "No regulation
is arbitrary until it is ap-
piled, and the regulations
issued to date clearly provide
for the application Of the
spirit as well as the letter
Of the law"
If this is so it must mean
that FAA either intends to
revoke the disqualification
at age 60" rule or else make
provision that competent
individual pilots are not
arbitrarily. dictatorially and
benevolently disqualified by
virtue Of a birthday.
Frankly, I haven't read
FAA's disqualification at
age go" edict, but If it does
contain some provision for
competent pilots to retain
their status then I could
apologize with the excuse
that the news media must
have fallen down in so in
forming us "lay people"

SO Years AGO

Living costs came to the
attention Of Congress so
years ago. The Star, on jan
uary %, 1910, reported:
There doesn't seem a shad-
ow Of a doubt but that the
Congress Of the United
States must take a part
through one or other or both
branches-in the movement
to put on a lower level the
prices to the public of the
food necessities of life. From
all over the country letters
and telegrams were pouring
in on members, demanding
that something be done by
the Federal Government to
ascertain officially the real
reason for the high and in
creaSing cost of living and to
remedy the condition, or con-
ditionS, whatever they may
be. The Republicans Of the
House do not seem particu-
larly averse to a national
inquiry. The Democrats are
doing all they can to bring
one about. :"
There was some dispute,
so years ago, about whether
Robert E. Lees memory
should be honored in the Dis
trict. On January 10, 1910,
The Star reported: Despite
the opposition which devel-
oped in the Senate yesterday
against any action Of the

Evening star., 1960-06-22

Opening lead: Jack of hearts.
South was Rene Bacherich,
a member of the team that
brought France the world
championship. 1t makes us all
feel better when a world cham
pion commits a blunder, so this
little story should spread SUM-
shine throughout the Western
Hemisphere.
Don Oakie of San Francisco
led the jack of hearts from the
West hand. Declarer won in
dummy with the ace of hearts
and led a trump to the king.
Oakie played his five of spades
at just the right speed, not too
quickly and not too slowly.
South got the impression that
East had the ace of spades, and
this eventually paved the way
to his downfall.
Declarer led out the ace of
diamonds and a low diamond,
East winning with the queen.
East returned a diamond, and
dummy ruffed.
Now Unbeatable
The contract was now un-
beatable. South should aban-
don trumps. He ruffs a heart
and leads good diamond, dis
carding a club from dummy.
West can ruff with the jack of
spades and lead a club, but
South takes the ace of clubs
and leads his last good dia-
mond to discard dummy's last
club. Declarer loses two trumps
and a diamond, but nothing
else.
Instead, however, Bacherich
led another trump from dunn
my. He expected to find the
ace Of trumps at his right, in
which case there was a fair
chance to make an overtrick.
This was the play that made
the sun shine. Oakie care
fully took both of his trumps,
removing all trumps from the
dummy. Then he led a club,
and South had to lose a club
trick in addition to two trumps
and a diamond.
While you're enjoying a po-
lite snicker at South's expense,
give West full credit for refus-
ing the first trump trick so cas-
ually. If West wins the first
trump with the ace, South can
safely lead out a second trump
after setting up his diamonds.
He cannot lose his contract.
Daily Question
Partner bids one heart, and
the next player passes. You

What do you bid?
Answer: Four hearts. This
jump shows strong trump sup
port usually five cards., q
singleton or void suit and not
more than nine points in high
cards.
