death bed. Following a fall
he had been unconscious for
days. From the anxious
hearts of the family fervent
prayers arose without ceas-
ing. The dear one now
lowering between life and
death had been for more than
q half century the glad
bearer Of glad tidings. For
years he had been the loved
pastor Of the same church
In the National Capital. In
zeal and love abounding his
life had been lived under
spires of the spirit. Now,
in his retirement. this acci-
dent had befallen. The very
best in modern medical skill
was focused on that room
where this faithful servant
Of the Most High lay. Prayer
and medicine were joined as.
day after day. the final ver-
dict hung In the balance.
It had been one Of the
greatest joys to this stricken
lover Of souls that he had
given q boy to the Christian
ministry. Some time ago q
New York millionaire, who
gave large sums for the work
Of a theological seminary.
was asked by the president
of that institution, How
many millions do you pos
sess?" His reply was. II
really do not know. But I
know this, I'd gladly give it
all If I could have q boy Of
my own in the ministry"
Now, the preacher-son Of
this beloved preacher-father
was keeping watch in the hos
pital room where his father
lay. The crisis might come
at any time. It was uncer-
tain as to when the younger
man could again stand in his
own pulpit Of a large church
in q Southern city; his place
then was by his mGthr's side
as together they kept a vigil
of hope and love. But in
those still hours. as the clock
licked the days away, the
'youngish proclaimer Of the
Eternal Word, with pad on
his knee, was writing a mes
sage to be delivered when
ever once again he could face
the sympathetic flock of his
busy parish. It came to pass
that the sermon written in
that quiet hospital room was
not preached until after the
father had slipped through
deaths door into a larger
room Of the Fathers many
mansioned house.
Now. what was it that the
son decided to preach about
as he pondered and wrote
with his fathers unconscious
form so close to where he sat?
The most effective preaching
is so often colored by i'm
pinging circumstances. How
often, when he aScendS the

This was so often true Of the

In this instance, the frame
for the sermon was the Old

was the Prophet Isaiah.

Copyright Ruling

Considering the complexi-
ties Of the issues involved,
Phil Thomas article about
the decision reached by Su-.
preme Court Justice Stanley
Reed with regard to the
Rickover copyrights was ex-
traordinarily lucid. Permit
me, however, to express my
views on several points.
In invalidating the copy
right restrictions Admiral
Rickover placed on %
speeches issued as press re-
leases Of the Defense De-
partment, Navy Department,
and Atomic Energy Commis-
sion, Justice Reed has made
1t crystal clear that such
copyrights are contrary to
the, public interest. More
over. his decision leaves no
doubt that public officials
cannot use oficial channels
for private copyright pur-
poses.
As Justice Reed points out,
the U. S. Code which pro-
hibits copyrighting of gov
ernm entail publications
creates q sea Of troublesome
questions" Unfortunately,
his decision has in certain
respects enlarged this sea.
Justice Reed has ruled that
publications Of the Govern
ment Printing Office com
missioned or printed at the
cost and direction Of the
United States" must be con-
Sidered authorized EXPOSE
tionS on matters of govern
mental interests by govern
mental authority" This is
fine as far as it goes. What
Justice Reeds decision does
not take into consideration
is the fact that a large num-
ber Of governmental publica-
tions are not proceSSed by the
Government Printing Office.
A vast amount Of govern
mental printing is done by
private printers throughout
the country. Moreover, count
less thousands of government
tai publications are pro-
cessed by and for govern
mental agencies through h
mimeograph, multilith. and
other devices.
Strictly speaking. it would
appear that governmental
officials could place copy
right restrictions on publica-
tions that are not processed
by the Government Printing
Once. While I am sure that
Justice Reed did not mean to
sanction such copyrighting,
the fact remains that the door
is now wide open to this
practice.
It is heartening to note that
Justice Reed has ruled that
copyrights cannot be placed
on publications commits
stoned at the direction of the
United States" However it
Is common practice for high
public officials to commission
themselves in connection with
most of the things they do
and say. And 1t is common
knowledge that a high official
rarely If ever - feels in
hibited about issuing a public
statement because it had not
been commissioned by some
one other than himself. A vital
reason for this Is the fact
that every official knows that
although he is not commits
stoned by the United States"
to deliver public pronounce
ments, this is one of his fun
damental responsibilities un-
der our democratic form Of
government.
In effect, Justice Reed has
ruled that although the du-
ties Of q public official are
directly related, as in Admiral
Rickover'S case, to atomic en-
ergy and nuclear submarines,
he can copyright his public
statements on these subjects
because it is not his duty to
issue such statements, pro-
viding only that these state
ments are not commissioned
by the UNITED States" and
are not printed by the Gov
ernment Printing Office.

Critic to Critic
Star book critic Carter
Brooke Jones, in his review
Of Francis Irby Gwaltney's
novel, "A Step in the River, "
averred that the story "rings
true" The story, as Mr.. Jones
stated, is about politics in
an unnamed Southern State
much like the authors home,
Arkansas" Mr.. Jones con-
cedes the story is "over-sea-
soned with sex and dominated
by sly, Shiny characters" yet
he appears convinced that
life in the South is really like
that.
It must be apparent to all
thinking people that a cam
paign Of hate and. vilification
is being waged against the
people Of the South. No small
part Of this campaign is the
unceasing propaganda being
disseminated which portrays
white Southerners in general
as bigoted, depraved, and cor
rupt. Every facet Of communi-
cations media Is being used
to propagate and to per-
petuate this libel.
How effective this propa-
ganda campaign is can only
be guessed at when it is being
accepted so readily by per-
sons such as Mr.. Carter
Brooke Jones.

BY AMELIA YOUNG
Star Stan Writer

The fastest route to Japan
from Washington, and the
least expensive, is a stroll
down the Japanese Embassy
walk to a place called Up
pakutei."
Ippakutei is a ceremonial
tea house and garden newly
installed on the embassy
grounds as a memorial to
100 years of diplomatic rela-
tions between Japan and the
United States. The name
means VIRTUE" also cen
tennial."
Hardly two minutes by
foot from Massachusetts ave-
nue.. this enchanting retreat
carries the visitor half a
world away, so distinctly
Nipponese is its character.
The tea house was de-
signed by a Japanese archi-
tect. pre-built in Japan and
reassembled here. and most
of the materials for the
garden were imported, too.
The building is set on the
shelf Of a hill, cut of from
city distractions.
For Meditation
Ippakutei was introduced
last evening to a delighted
gathering Of American Off
cials, members of Congress,
old Washingtonians and for
eign diplomats at a 5-to-7
o'clock party given by Am

guests are invited to see the

because they had voted for the
law setting up a parliamentary
committee of Is to investigate
the opposition Republican
Peoples Party and control the
press. The committees activ-
tiles resulted in student demon

by the military coup that over
