Waldorf Man
Dies in Crash

LA PLATA, Md, May 7 (Spe-
ciaD "A 20-year-old Waldorf
resident was fatally injured last
night when the car in which he
was riding swerved out of con-
troll and smashed into two tele-
phone poles on old Washington
avenue a half-mile north OF
La Plata.
Maryland State Police said
James Buster Swami. the VIC
tim, was one of two men hurled
from the auto by the impact OF
the 10 pm. crash. He died oil
a crushed chest and internal
injuries and was pronounced
dead at Physicians Memorial
Hospital As minutes after the
accident.

another occupant of the auto
was treated for severe cuts and
bruises and released. Accord

Mr.. Larkin said it would be
some time before the gang

Ketcham because of the courts

Brutal limitations
In the meantime, he con-
tinued, the court would carry
on its case work with the
youths.
Police investigation of the
Midget Mau Mau" gang, all
Northeast colored juveniles,
disclosed it to be a tightly knit
organization with brutal
initiation rites.
Police began investigating
after more than so members of
the gang stormed onto the
River Terrace Playground,
Thirty-fourth and Dix streets
NE, for a prearranged fight
with another gang, the "Un-
touchables." At that time a IA
year-old boy was severely beat

were charged with disorderly

Now she will return to Den

Miss Esther Upton OF 1901
New Hampshire avenue NV.
is with the World Health Or
ganization's Pan-A m er C a n
Health Agency. Although she is
now stationed here, she spent
the last eight years in Mexico
and South America.
She worked as a consultant
helping to expand services and
train personnel.
Midwives in South America,
she said. are in a different
position from nurse-midwives
in this country. The South
American midwife, after certi-
flcation, can hang up a shingle
and practice without medical
supervision. In this country
the nurse-midwlfe must work
under the supervision of a
physician.
The modern nurse-midwife
movement was started in this
country by Mrs. Corbin's mater
nifty center in 1882 when the
first school was set up in New
York. Eventually, Mrs. Corb:n
said, most general hospitals and
other institutions will probably
maintain staff of nursa-mid- :
wives to work with women
before and after pregnancy.

Countyt to Buy
Hume School.
For Museum

The Arlington County Board
today voted to acquire the old
Hume School for use as a his
torical center which would
dramatize Arlington's past.
Chairman Herbert Brown
proposed that the county give
the school board property near
Washington-Lee High School
in return for the idle Hume
School located on Arlington
Ridge road.
The building, which has been
empty for several years, would
be turned over to the Arling-
ton Historical Society which
would maintain and operate it
as a museum.
Speaking for the society
Lazzlo Ecker-Racz estimated
cost of converting the school
into museum and lecture
hall at about $4,000.
He said pledges of financial
support already received from
private citizens would enable
the society to borrow enough
money to begin refurbishing
Immediately.
The loan eventually would be
repaid through a countrywide
fund drive.
Mr.. Ecker-Racz said the So
ciety would like to open the
historical center next year in
conjunction with the beginning
OF the Civil War centennial OBJ
Servance.
More than 1900 county res
identS signed a petition urging
that the school be donated to
the historical society.
The board authorized County
Manager A. T. Lundberg to
negotiate with the school board
for acquisition of the property.

A 37-year-old former men,

Of policemen and terrified
neighborS last night as he fired
a scattering of shots out a
window Of his home at 9702
Lorain avenue, Silver Spring.
Police moved in on the man,
Arthur j. Hartke, after he had
been overcome by the tear gas
bombs they tossed at him.
Mrs. Hartke and her two
children - Margaret, 2, and
John, 8 months-climbed out
through a basement window
as the tear gas spread through
the house.
No one was hurt. However,
one bullet from Hartke's .22-
caliber revolver crashed
through the side bedroom win
dow of the home of Donald
w. Jacobs of 507 Granville
drive, going about a foot over
the head of Mary Jean Jacobs,
IL. The bullet lodged in the
wall. The window faces the
Hartke home.
Police 80 Talled
Mrs. Jacobs called police to
the scene shortly before 8 pm.
1t. Carroll Durham of the
Montgomery police said two
shots rang out as police ap-
preached the Hartke house. 1t.
Durham said he telephoned
Hartke and tried to persuade
him to surrender.
He would talk to me for a
few seconds and then would
hang up on me-" 1t. Durham
said. He refused to come out
every time I asked him to-"
Gas Bomb Dropped
Finally, police went to the
rear OF the house and dropped
in tear gas bombs. Hartke was
felled in the kitchen by the
gas and had to be carried out
of the home, police said.
Hartke was charged with as
sault with a deadly weapon and
held in $4,000 bail.
Hartke was admitted to

HensonCreek
Land Zoned
Commercial

Planners we're overruled yes
terday by three Prince Georges
County Commissioners, who de-
cided 230 acres of rural and
wooded land should be zoned
for commercial, apartment and
small lot home development.
The land in the Henson Creek
watershed was recommended
for single family minimum lots
of 10000 square feet by the
Prince Georges County Plan
ming Board.
More dense development will
lead to storm drainage
problems and interfere with a
watershed master plan being
made by'planners, according to
c. Warren Giauque, chief plan
ner for the board. The land
is in the Oxon Hill and Clinton
areas.
Day-LOng Session
The conflict arose in Hyatts-
vile during a day-long work
session on a proposed Zoning
map for "a square miles. The
area was brought under coming
controls by the 1859 Maryland
Assembly.
Commissioner M. Bayne
Brooke of Oxon Hill, defended
the coming proposed by PLAN
ners. He said changes to more
dense zoning should come only
after petitions were filed and
residents given a chance to
voice opinions.
He was opposed by Commits
sionerS Jesse S. Baggette,
Frank j. Lastner and A. Pres
ton Perrie. The latter also re-
sides in the Oxon Hill area.
Amendments Adopted
After studying the coming
code. the Commissioners adopt
ed amendments governing mo-
tells and private swimming
pools. Motels were placed in
the rural-residential and light
commercial CD zones, but
can be built only with a special
exception permit which allows
no other type of construction.
MotelS will need a minimum
of S acres, except in the C-1
zone where the requirement
drops to 3 acres. The laSt-min-
ute change was pushed by Mr..
Perrie, who said even / acre
would be adequate for small
motels.

Overcoming the stigma of
the term midwife" may be
difficult, but not impossible,
Mrs. Corbin said. After all, the
word comes from the German
meaning with woman" just

rived from the Latin meaning
with woman"
Relatively Unknown
A relatively unknown group,
most of today's nurse-midwives
work in clinics in hospitals,

schools offering this advanced

While many nurse-midwives

soning behind this approach,
the reader seems faced with
two choices: Either the author
is suffering from some adj
vanced stage of an inferierity
complex for having been cleft
out" of the circle of Western
culture, or he is actually
naive enough to believe that
the culture of Russia and that
of the West are identical.
LET THE READER yet be-
ware of another hazard. The
author is Russian; he wrote
the book in French; it has
been translated into English.
While it is true that the au-
thor has lived in France since
the Bolshevik Revolution, it is
nonetheless true that this
reader remains suspicious OF
his ability to render an ar
ticulate, accurate and trans
lafable French.
And even if this obstacle
be successfully surmounted,
Roger Capel's labored trans
lation insistently reminds the
reader that THIS is A TRANS
LATION. The idioms of the
French, however beautiful
they NAV be in French, are

gentle" nature of the Rus
SLAMS. De Grunwald, himself,
inadvertently gives his read
ers an example of it a few
pages later. "Vladimir's
reign, despite its beginning
with the murder Of his broth
er land the rape of a widow
who had retired to a convent),
bore from the outset the
marks of greatness" Good old
Saint Vladimir!
Then too, the author has an
annoying habit of quoting
without reference-by what
authority, this reader cannot
say.
There are occasional descrip-
tons of miracles which, in
their extreme naivef and even
c%rudeness, do not so much
bespeak a simple faith in the
power of God, as they tax the
imagination and capacity to
believe that they can be any
thing but a travesty Of Gods
intelligence.
DESPITE ALL THIS, the
very patient reader will learn
some things as he plows
through the pages of this
book. He will learn that the
Christian Church Of Russia
was patterned along Greek
land later, Greek ORTHODOXY
lines. He will learn that it
was nodded in the Russian
character and personality. He
will learn that it has been es-
sentially a national Church,
deriving much of its power
and influence from the fact
that it has been additionally
identified with the causes and
interests of Russia as a ma
ton.
SUCH FIGURES, therefore,
as Alexander Nevski. whose
life was hardly notable for its
asceticism or lack of compro-,
mise, became canonized more
out of the current of national
istic sentiment for a national
hero, than by the norms of
any real personal sanctity to
which history can be a wit
ness.
Once again, this all seems
congruous, and therefore
normal, to the Russian, if not
to the Westerner.

ton classes which other stu
dents voluntarily elected to
attend.
The Supreme Court ruled
that the released-time courses
were unconstitutional if given
on school property, or if at
tendance records, or anything
of the sort, were kept by
school employees.
The court did not let it go
at that. Instead, it uttered an
unfortunate metaphor about a
thigh and impregnable wall
of separation between church
and state"
HAD THE COURT pursued
the logic of its language,
eventually it would have had
to outlaw chaplains in the
armed forces and in Congress,
and similar practices going
back to the foundations Of
the Republic.
The court, however, modi-
fled its Technology in a sub
sequent decision in New Jer-
sey, in which it ruled that
bus rides at public expense
for pupils in church affiliated
schools are constitutional.
Nevertheless, the mischief
for which the language of the
McCollum decision opened the
door continues to crop up.
1t cropped up in Dunkirk.
The state board of education
outlawed not only character
ethics courses, but also such
activities as the guidance elm
lie and the Hi-Y and Tri-H-Y,
sponsored by the YMCA and
YWCA.
ALSO BANNED WAS any
possibility of programs spon-
sored by the Young Mems He
brew Association or the Cath
Ollie Youth Organization.
The ruling applies not only
to Dunkirk, but to all public
schools in New York State.
Thus those public schools
not only cannot do anything
to correct religious illiteracy;
they cannot so much as pro-
vide character guidance or in
struction in the elementary
ethics.
They can teach students
(for example) the mathematics
needed for building bridges;
but they may not suggest that
it is wrong to build shoddy
bridges that fall down and kill
people.
THE WHOLE FIELD OF
moral obligation and moral
beauty--the field of human
nobility-is closed by this
ruling to New York State pub
lie schools.
They may instruct young
women in cake-baking, but
may not mention that it is i'm
proper to include arsenic in
the recipe.
Apparently it is high time
for the US. Supreme Court
to reconsider its position and
its language in the McCollum
case. 1t owes that, | think to
the parents of American
young people.

releasing students for the off
the-premiSes religious educa-
ton.
The Dunkirk Council of
PROTESTANT Churches and the
clty's five Catholic pastors
therefore recommended eth
lcal guidance and character
development classes.
THE SUPERINTENDENT Of
schools and the Board of Edu-
cation concurred, and the
courses became part Of the
curriculum.
A Unitarian minister, how
ever, objected. He appealed to
the New York State Board of
Education.
The State Boards legal divi-
sion thereupon outlawed the
character : ethics program on
the ground that it violated the
US. Supreme Courts McCol-
lum ruling.
THE McCOLLUM RULING,
you will remember, was
handed down in 1948 in a case
originating in the public

who said her son was embar-
raised because she would not

Parents must deliberately
stimulate the curiosity and
interest of their children and
should, of course, be patient
in answering their questions.
Respect and tolerance for the
opinions of others must be
stressed.
PARENTS sHoULD be first
to discover and develop hid
den creative sparks slumber-
ing in every child Occasions
should be planned to spend
time together on trips to mu-

tire family may often discuss
what talents each member has
and how exactly they can best

that spiritual strengths need
mainly to be developed. Too
many families consider relig-
ion as an individual item such
as towels for "him" and

the parents should be dis
