The committee recommended
that the route, also known as
Interstate Highway 70S, be con-
structed from its present term
nation at Connecticut ave.
"This approach" the commit
tee said, was recommended by
the Regional Highway Planning
Committee for metropolitan
Washington as early as 1852.
This link could be built
speedily and at less expense
than any others that have been
proposed, principally because
the road would traverse the
edge of the park and other un-
developed areas"
The committee also suggest
ed that agencies and authorities
concerned Should Immediately
take the necessary steps to ex-
pedite construction"
Other recommendations of the
committee approved by the
board included a restudy of the
master plan of streets and high
ways of the Bethesda business
district by the Maryland-Nation-
al Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
1.-THE plan should provide for
streets paralleling Wisconsin
ave. which traverse the entire
business community.
due to the construction of
Arlington rd., the feasibility of
improving the plan for roads
between Wisconsin ave. and Ar
lington I'd. should be considered.
"The extension of Arlington
I'd. past Bradley blvd. as a
means of bypassing Wisconsin
ave. should be studied and
placed on the master plan, if
feasible"
Another bypass was suggest
ed. with the Construction of
Glenbrook pkwy. from Jones
Bridge I'd. to Woodmont ave-, if
Arlington I'd. is extended.
Final recommendation was for
better haison between the Cham
Der, and the Maryland State
Roads Commission "to eliminate
as much as possible confusion
and misunderstanding, such as
was experienced in the construc-
ton of Bradley blvd"

but upon others; not upon the
products of their own farms
and shops but upon wages.
WHEN WAGES stop they
they are in trouble. This hap
pens in time of sickness, from
accidents, in death, from lay
OFFS in seasonal declines, when
age discrimination is used.
There is a new crisis when
man is being retired arbitrar-
lily regardless of his ability to
work. There is a crisis not
only because we have more
and more who are dependent
on wages alone but also be-
cause during the depression
fewer children were born--so
today there is a shortage Of
younger adults to care for
aging parents.
THERE IS ALSO a major
problem Of inedaquate hous-
ing to accommodate two fam
lilies, as we'll as the rising cost
of living which again makes
it almost impossible for many
devoted children to fulfill
their obligation to aging par
ents.
Some may be under the i'm
preston that Social Security
has solved the problem. It is
of inestimable help. But there
are other needs it does not
care for: adequate income, de-
cent housing, medical care,
proper recreation.
MAN ALSO NEEDS a place
in the every day scheme of
things. He often depends up
on work for his status and
prestige. Science has length
ened the life of man but this

ter of principle to any extern
sion of the coverage of the

lar enterprises. seven if the

EDITORIALS
Francis de Sales

Katherine Bregy, in her interesting book 1.-The
Story of st. Francis de Sales Bruce 1883, points
out that St. Francis de Sales may well have been
amazed in heaven when Plus XI singled him out in
1928 as Patron of Catholic Writers.
n MAINTAINS Francis would doubtless defer
to the genius of a st. Augustine or the encyclopedia
productivity of st. Thomas Aquinas when it came to
writing. But she makes the very valid point that the
Holy Father chose well, because Francis de Sales was
and remains "eminently approachable, graciously en-
couraging to his clients, in literature as in spirituality"
Although Francis made no claim to be a profes-
Sional writer, he acted like one since he wrote from
the demands of the moment. Moreover, he wrote only
of what he knew thoroughly and at firsthand.
His style was adapted to his time for he advised
another to write "in accordance with the taste of
tbs poor world =. to treat of pious and holy things in
an agreeable manner, with historical method, such as
might charm the intellectual curiosity of the age"
IT is EVIDENT then to anyone who has read
the works of st. Francis de Sales or initiates the prin-
ciples he used in his writing, that he is the ideal
Patron of he Catholic Press.
We live in an age when the printed word has
reached its widest to date. When mems minds and
lives and destinies are affected and changed by books
and articles.
SURELY, n TRUTH and beauty of Catholic
ideals constitute the best subject matter for writing
Catholic writer's are constantly trying to improve their
techniqles and presentation of those timelesS verl-
ties.
Plus XI wrote; at is necessary that Catholic journal
lists in their writings initiate and show forth at all
times that strength, joined always to moderation and
charity, which were the special characteristics of st.
Francis"
Readers of The Catholic Times have two motives
for honoring ST. Francis de Sales on the feast, this
Sunday. First because he is the principal Patron of
our Diocese; second. because he is Patron Of the
Catholic Press.

The Yardstick

A survey conducted by
Nations Business and re-
ported in its January issue
purportS to show that pro-
posed changes in the Fair
Labor Standards Act would
boost prices and inevitably
result in additional unem-
ployment.
THE FEDERAL LAW now
requires all covered employ
ers to pay a $1.00-an-hour
minimum and overtime pay
of time-and-a-half for all
hours over 40 in a work
week. Proposed amendments
to the law would increase the
minimum wage to $1.25 an
hour and would extend cover
age to include a number of
additionally low-Wage indus
tries which are now exempt.
According to Nations Bus
mess, "~legislated wage in
creases, when there is no in
crease in productivity, COM
pei a businessman either to
raise prices where COMPETE
ton permits or lay off en-
ployees to keep down costs,
or both"
THUS, WE ARE TOLD, the
proposed increase in the
minimum wage would aggra-
vate a growing national prob
lem of unemployment" and
"could tend to worsen our in
ternational balance of pay
ments problems"

GUEST EDITORIAL
DIR. Tom DOOley

Doctor Thomas Dooley would shrug off impat-
iently the title of hero and direct our gaze to the peo-
pie who need help SO badly, but Doctor Dooey has
left several indelible impressions of heroiSm upon us
here.
His Illuminating and moving conferences given
in Columbus about a year ago were tapped and are
utilized at meetings and circulated among converts
and schools.
HIS DEDICATION has also inspired the begin
ming Of several groups here to work for the medical
missions particularly by making ~bandages and gather
ing and sending surplus medicines from physicians and
hospitals.
But in a larger way he has served the Faith by
vanguarding the return of the lay missionary move
ment. Lay missionaries had a big part in the early
spread Of the Faith for they can prove without preach
ing that the Faith produces good fruit.
NOW THERE IS A resurgence of lay missionary
activity ard Doctor Dooley has fired that movement
greatly. Besides, he has done these things as an
American and therefore brought much credit to our
country.
We have all suffered a great loss therefore.
WE PRAY He MAY receive the boundless Joy Of
reward for his good deeds and that many will hurry
to take up the works he began.

Gently of the recommendation

the Church is entering into
politics? Isn't il a survival OF
feudaIism?
A. In the fifth and sixth
chapters of | Corinthians st.
Paul refers TO two instances
pertaining TO the principle of
accommodation. In the first
reference he speaks of the
incestuous man who SHOULD
be banished from your midst"
(5:2, l3). In the second he re-
fers to the general principle
of the separateness of the
Christian community (6.1-2).
The whole tenor of the New
Testament, especially the di-
vine authorization of the
Apostles and their successors,
indicates that the Church is
a perfect society.
That means hat Caesar
should have the things that
are Caesars and implies

are Gods. When Christen-

could be just prolonged ex-
istence and that is no boon.
Any individual beyond the
age of IS who is physically
and emotionally capable of
working and who wants to
work should be allowed to do
so. The aged too need to be
useful.
There is at least one uni
versity in California - Hast
ings College of Law - which
has found it advantageous to
hire no faculty member TN
less he or she is s. years or
more. Arbitrarily retiring q
man because of his age is not
only terribly wasteful to so
ciety but it can become al
most inhuman to the aged
themselves. Retiring able peo-
pie just to make way for the
younger is no answer. We are
dealing with human beings,
not machinery.

brings to the fore what is
probably the most outstand-
ing problem of the aged: how
to attain and maintain q de-
cent level of retirement. The
aging have the lowest income
of any age group in the cour-
try. Three out of five have
annual incomes below $1,000.
More than half have incomes
that are inadequate for a de-
cent standard of living and
more than one-third do not
have even a minimum emer
gency budget.

. IN OTHER WORDS, low
paid workers ought to stay
put for the convenience of
their employers even if high
er wages are available else
where.
These and similar argu-
ments presented in the ar
ticle in Nations Business will
have a familiar ring to any
one who has studied the his
tory of the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act. Identically the same
arguments were advanced in
1888 against the original bill
(Which called for a minimum
wage of 40c an hour) and
periodically since 1888 have
been advanced against any
and all amendments to the
law.
What the proponents of
these arguments were really
saying in 1888 and what their
counterparts in 1861 are al
SO saying is that federal regu-
lation of wages is wrong in
principle. This is not to sug-
gest that these men are insin-
cere, much less that they are
heartless oppressors of the
poor.
DO BELIEVE, however,
that their approach to the
problem of wages is rather
lopsided. They have their
own problems to contend
with, and it is natural that
they should be concerned
about them. Their problems,
however, are not to be COM
pared with those of the mill
lions of breadwinners who
