The Luray carlton, which
Mr.. Chapman considers of
average size, has bells weighing
from 4 tons to 12l2 pounds. 1t
has four octaves, as compared
with 10 in a large organ and
seven in a piano.
Carlton playing takes strong
hands and agile feet. The caril-
lonneur must use strong hand
pressure on the keys. all of
which carry the direct weight
of the bell clappers. The pedals
or the organ-type carlton have
to be worked with the feet.
Mr.. Chapman, who studied

churches and the sects to
strengthen the religious be-
liefs of the masses"
But the experts concede the
whole thing is hard to explain.
The real causes are extremely
diverse" they say. suggesting
that the emotional side of
mans life plays a large part"
in it. The article adds:
"The men of the churches,
taking advantage of the short
age of socialist propaganda
and profiting from the COM
plexities and contradictions of
social life. have developed a
vast program Of propaganda
hostile to us. 80.
I'm our opinion the in
creased activity of the
churches and the weakness of
our atheist propaganda with
respect to actual conditions are
the principal reasons for the
backward religious. beliefs of
groups among the workers"
Although RusSia's constitu-
ton guarantees freedom of
religious worship and anti
religious propaganda" to all
citizens, church activity and
instruction must be confined
to the congregationS-and pri-
vate homes.
Publications are restricted,
and young people cannot go
to religious schools until they
are over 18. Churches are
curbed from speaking out on
social issues.
Yet, even within these tight
limits, the gospel appeal re-
mains, and the fact has caused
numerous Soviet publications
recently to discuss and attempt
to analyze the grip of
Christian belief
By a strange quirk, this has
publicly disseminated Chris
tian ideas on a wider basis
than before-ironicaly through
the media of atheist organs.
For instance, a Soviet maga-
zine. Science and Life, in ex-
amining Seventh : Day Ad-
ventist activity, includes de-
tails on the groups beliefs,
such as this:
Having chosen Christ as
his Lord, man must give him
self up wholly to Christ's di-
rection, and subject his will
entirely to his Masters
The Adventists constantly in
still into their faithful that
men cannot radically alter
their moral visage by their
own strength. For this, the
intervention of an external
force is needed, and that force
is Christ"
Such discussions, whether
the atheist writer's realize it
or not. may possibly be sowing
the very seed they wish to
destroy.

which declared King Henry
VIII to be supreme head OF
the Church of England" There
had been contentious between
the Church in England and the
see of Rome for some time
pfior to that.
Also, the conflict did not end
With Henry VIII. When
Queen Mary came to the
throne in 1858 she tried to
bring England back into the
realm of the Roman Catholic
Church. She was succeeded Ill
1853 by Queen Elizabeth who
was an ardent Protestant.
Since her time the British
Crown has been the recognized
head of the Church of England
and it has been a completely
separate ecclesiastical body.
I have no information on
how many communicates of
the Episcopal Church in this
country make private confess
sions to their priests. This is
primarily the practice of the

Churches in Russia are
showing a toughness and vigor
today that have the experts
of communist atheism vexed-
and admittedly puzzled.
Not only has Christianity
refused to die out in the
Soviet Union after nearly a
half century of anti-religious
propaganda, but repeatedly is
regaining some of its lost
ground.
"At the present time. people
connected with churches and
sects are working very hard
to attract, young people into
their ranks" says the Soviet
Academy of Philosophy period
ical Questions of Philosophy.
And it must be remem-
bered that their work among
the young has met with a
certain success"
Numerous other sources and
events lately have indicated
that the churches not only re-
main a power to be reckoned
with in Russia, but that they
have acquired growing in
fluence in Russian society in
general.
Protestant preachers are
enlarging their activity a Ind
the Baptist congregations are
increasing" says the official
Soviet anti-religious monthly,
Science and Religion.
Sticky Problem
Regular laymen insistently
endeavor to spread their re-
ligious faith"
This persistent strength has
become a sticky problem to
the Communist academicians,
who for years dismissed re-
ligion as a carry-over of the
old pre-1917-revolution gen.
Grafton. But that generation
has faded-and faith lives on.
Many observers in Russia,
says the Rev. DR.. Paul Ander-
son, overseas secretary of the
YMCA. believe the Soviet
alarms lover the strong signs
of religious faith among large
masses of Russians" indicate
the church there has kept
inviolate it's inner core of
faith" and will continue to do
so.
The Russian Orthodox
Church, which had virtually
sunk into limbo before World
War II, just this spring dis
played new vitality in seeking
representation in the World
Council of Churches.
In its application, the Rus
sian church said it had 10000
active priests, 73 bishops, eight
seminaries, two theological
academies. and 10000 congre-
cations. Membership is esti-
mated at more than 80 million.
BaptiSts in Russia have more
than 100000 members in 1000
churches. Lutherans, mostly
in Latvia and Estonia, have
an estimated 950,000 members.
and there are a reported 10000
Reformed Church members.
Perplexing
Voicing perplexity at the
continued religious vigor. the
article in Russia's Questions
of Philosophy says the reason
must be that atheist indoctrin-
alton hasn't been adequate.

covering the area and a 80 minute sound slide presenta-
ton in color were. made to give a full story Of the back
ground, setting and plans for the project. Large scale
mats in color showing plans and elevation for the project
were presented to the Legislature and the Planning
Commission and 1efti the offices of the Legislature for
inspection. We feel that a very thorough and mp
hensive job was done in this early stage.
The hotel consultants, Horwath & Horwath, were
called in to inspect and analyze this preliminary work
in the Islands and later after study had been made, a
conference was held in Omaha in the home office Of
LeoA DAILY, with Horwath & HorWath, where advantage
taken Of the suggestions made by them and changes
were effected to bring the planning into line with the
views of the consultants.
Work has been progressing upon the detailed draw
ings necessary for a project Of this magnitude, which it
is anticipated would require an investment of So, 100000.
This work is to the point that Mr.. Lundgren notified
me approximately twoweeks ago by telephone that they
we're in a position to call in prospective contractors for
cost estimates and were planning to do SO.
In the meantime, Mr.. Lundgren has been devoting
attention to active negotiations with the leading hotel
operators seeking to work out the best lease arrange
ments possible for the management of the hotel. It is fair
to say, | think, that all of tn e leading chain operators
with the exception Of Hilton Hotels Corporation, which
operates the Virgin Isles Hotel, have been consulted,
for as you were inltially advised, it was the intention
OF the associates to provide the best management pos
Slple. Active negotiations are presently underway with
two such concerns. However, there are many details
to be considered and some time will necessarily elapse
before any definite conclusion is reached. AS you can
see great time and considerable money have been spent
to date.
AttheL Luncheon meeting Of the Legislature in Wash
ington during Inauguration Week. | pointed out that
the Associates had been greatly concerned by the posi-
ton repeatedly taken BY the former governor with res
pect to the legality of the bond issue. / mentioned that
we had endeavoredt to secure copies Of official opinions
and other information bearing on this point but had been
unable to do so. advised that was our understanding
the Governors views had been presented both orally
and in writing, but that we could not seem to find out
what they were with any degree Of clarity. OF course
this point goes to the very heart Of the matter and has
caused considerable apprehension and delay, for quite
naturally neither you nor we arein a position to go ahead
in an area of doubt and confusion.

St. Croix. Virgin Islands
Dear Senator Hodge:
AS have previously advised, it was my sincere
intention to be in the Virgin Islands at the time OF the
current session Of the legislature. However, a combina-
ton Of factors, over which / have no control, has opera
ted to prevent my visit. Nevertheless, ! am keenly mind
full Of YOUR desire to push ahead as rapidly as possible
with the construction Of the projects covered by the va
rIous authorizations of the legislature under the propos-1
ed SO, 00O,0 600 bond issue, as pointed out in your letter
cfFebruary II, 1861.
think it might be well to briefly consider the back
ground Of the proposal made by Howard Lundgren and
Associates which has received the most careful consider
alton by the legislature, for we have heretofore stated,
this project was looked upon by us as one which should
be conceived for the best interest OF the Virgin Islands
and developed in an atmosphere Of complete cooperation
So that the public interest would be served to the maxi
mum. Therefore every step OF our program has been
made known to the legislature and the Associates have
been eager to receive the suggestions and views OF every
one concerned, in order that the most harmonious result
would be achieved and an outstanding monument would
result
You will recall that initially the Associates pro-
posed that the internationally known consulting firm
of HorWath & HorWath, specialists in hotel matters, be
engaged by them to make an economic and feaSlDll1ty
survey Of the Islands and recommend a proposed site.
This survey was completed after intensive background
study and on-the-spot investigation. The results were
then presented to the legislature and the next step OF
the project was begun.
This second step involved the preparation Of preli-
minary plans by one Of the leading architectural firms
of the world, Leo A. Daily with headquarters in Omaha,
Nebraska and branches in many other cities. This firm
was ranked sixth in point of business volume by Archl-
tectural Forum. Mr.Daly has engaged in work in many
sections Of the world, and is particularly experienced IN
tropical and subtropical areas with specialized water
problems. He and five of his rchitect-engineer special
lists visited the Islands, spending a considerable amount
Of time and in again going over the terrain and familiar
inc themselves with local conditions and problems. Sub
seouently. much time was devoted by his staff to consul
tation with your official agencies, in discussing needs
and problems so that there would be harmony as well
as efficiency in what has to be done. Considerable time
was devoted to background engineering studies such
as water supply, construction problems transportation
etc.
