impossible. The record is even
more impressive when it is
noted that "a of the 80 years
were spent committing from
Baltimore. During that period
Mr.. Moss taught music at Bal
timore City College five days
a week.
How many miles did he
travel? The thought appalled,
Mr.. Moss. Thousands of miles
was all he replied.
The English-born musician
has definite ideas about the job
of an organist and choirmaster.
He must have a good knowI-
edge of his subject" the New
England Conservatory gradu-
ate said. He must be a good
executive, and he must adapt
himself to the service of the
church"
These three qualities Mr..
Moss has displayed in abund-
ance. He also has a gift for
composing hymns, some of
them sung by the Calvary
Church choir, but insists he did
nothing that warrants pub
fishing" Many disagree.
Mr.. Moss came to the United
States about 1895 as a young
boy. He was graduated from
the New England Conservatory
in Boston in 1909 and held
musical posts in various cities
before coming to Washington
in 1924 from Christ Episcopal
Church. st. Paul, MINI.
Outside of taking a trip to
Albuquerque, N. Mex, with
Mrs. Moss to visit their son,
Air Force Maj. Thomas R.
Moss, and three grandchildren,
he has no special plans.
II am still available for
emergency jobs. but I don't
want to be tied down." he ex-
planned. But I will keep my
fingers in the swim"
The chances are strong that
he will be receiving many calls
to $50 South Greenbrier street,
Arlington, for special assign
ments after his return home.

SWEDEN BELIEVED
FINKBINE GOAL

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 3 (AP)
Weary Sherri Finkbine Slip
ped into temporary seclusion
today amid hints that she was
headed for Sweden and her
planned abortion.
In Los Angeles. Scandinavian
Airlines reported that the
pretty Phoenix televlsion per-
sonality and her school teacher
husband, Robert, had reserva-
lions for a flight to Stock
holm with a stop at Copen-
hagen, Denmark.
The Finkbines could not be
found for comment but their
lawyer confirmed they had de-
cided on the where and wher
to abort her pregnancy Of
nearly three months.
The Finkbines say Sherrt
could give birth to a malformeo
child, the result of a drug she
says she took to placate nausea
during the early stages of hel
pregnancy. The drug, thalico-
mide. since has been blamed
for deformities in thousands Of
babies born in Europe. Australia
and Canada.

VATICAN CITY. Aug. 3 APP
- The Vatican Radio said to-
day that fear of giving birth
to a deformed child is no justi-
fication for abortion.
The broadcast did not men
ton American television actress
Sherri Finkbine by name. But
it was clear the Roman Cath
Ole station was referring to
Mrs. Finkbine, who is seeking
an abortion because she fears
her unborn child will be de-
formed as a result of taking
the drug thalidomide.
Homicide is never an act
of good will" the radio said.
Love always selects life, not
death"
The Roman Catholic Church
always has opposed abortions,
claiming deliberate Interrupt
ton of life is a violation of the
commandment, thou shalt not
kill"
Critical of Aims
Mrs. Finkbine's case has
gained prominence in current
worldwide Juror over tranquil
izers containing a drug called
thalidomide. Mothers who used
the drug in early pregnancy
have given birth to deformed
infants. Mrs. Finkbine now
plans to go to Sweden, where
abortions are legal. The Vatican
Radios reference to her was
obvious:
THE publicity which the in
ternational press is giving to
the case of a mother who de-
sires, at any cost, to interrupt
her maternity for fear that hel
child can be born deformed
seems to go beyond all per-
mitted limits.

British Fight
Due for Drug
Damages

LONDON, Aug. 3 (AP).-A
thalidomide mother announced
plans today to fight a legal bat
tie for compensation for hun
dreds of British babies de-
formed by the drug.
Mrs. Pat Lanes 8-month- old
daughter Julie escaped gross
malformation.
II must be the luckiest of all
the affected mothers" she said
at her Bristol home.
Julie was born with a small,
twisted right ear, no left ear,
and skin over her eyes. Surgery
has given the baby sight and
she can hear partly on the
right side.
Many Thalidomide babies are
born without arms and legs
The drug was withdrawn from
the British market last year.
Said Mrs Lane:
IT want other thalidomide
mothers s. write to me and to
raise a fund to fight a test case
against the firm marketing this
drug, or the authorities, to get
compensation for the worst
hit babies and their parents.
Mrs. Lane wrote to Health
Minister Enoch Powell appeal
ing for government help for the
worst cases. Mr.. Powell in re-
ply offered deep concern" and
advised on available medical
care. There was no word about
compensation, and the House
of Commons was told later
none would be given.
Mrs. Lane. %, took two
thalidomide tablets when she
was five weeks pregnant.

Other developments on thali-
domide:
MOntreal-The registrar of
the Quebec College Of Physi-
clans and Surgeons urged that
control of drugs be turned over
to the World Health Organiza-
ton of the United Nations, so
that international standards
could be set.
Kansas City-A Food and
Drug Administration spokes-
man said hundreds of persons
in Kansas City-including a
few pregnant women - were
given thalidomide. He added
that reports so far show all the
expectant mothers but one gave
birth to normal babies. The
remaining woman is eight
months pregnant.
DeS M0ineS-DoctorS in c.
dar Rapids and Iowa City re-
ceived samples of thalidomide,
but those contacted said they
did not prescribe it for women
of child-bearing age, according
to the Food and Drug Admins
tration.
Windsor, Ont. - A couple
whose twins were born with
deformities will seek Govern
ment assistance. The mother
took pills containing thalido-
mide. And the twins, a boy and
a girl, were born last January
with deformed forearms and
thumbs. Said the mother: 1--WE

treatment will cost us, but if
aid is available we will apply
for it,"
Heidelberg, any
United States Army doctors, re-
porting at least three deformed

prescribed the drug to some
Army wives.

partment Investigations have

He also gave Mr.. Thompson to
understand that he wants to
develop further his case for a
change in the status of West
Berlin. This could mean that he
intends to open up the whole
issue in the United Nations
General Assembly in the fall,
again claiming that the con-
tinued Western occupation of
the city creates a threat of war
which could be eliminated if
the West would bow to his de-
mandS.
Several weeks ago, Mr.. Ken

through the envoy that the
United States will not withdraw
from West Berlin and will il

Official Washington is al
but convinced, however, thai
Mr.. Khrushchev will see thai
the treaty contains some pro.
vision specifying reserve right,
for the Soviet Union on thu
more critical Berlin problem
Otherwise Mr.. Khrushchev
would be in the position o.
giving Mr.. Ulbricht a much
freer hand in determining thu
fateful future of the Berlin
problem than it seems to be il
Russia's interest.
The power to force the ISSUE
on Berlin is the power to star
World War III. And no one il
the Government here believes
that Mr.. Khrushchev wants Il

rumors of trouble in European
capitals. They get forewarn-
ings, too, through such acts as
increased Soviet aircraft OPP
erations in the Berlin air corri-
doris and the Red threat to
shoot down an American hell
copter at Berlin earlier this
week.
Crisis Signs Grow
The signs of a new flareup OF
crisis are growing almost every
day. Yet there is also evidence
that Mr.. Khrushchev has not
made all of his final decisions
as he continues his preSsures to
get the United States. Britain
and France to abandon West
Berlin.
Problems of Berlin strategy
and diplomatic and legal is
sues related to the peace treaty
itself are assumed here to be
under discussion or planned for
discussion between Mr.. Khru-
shchev and East German Com
munist leader Walter Ulbricht
somewhere on the Black Sea.
Mr.. Ulbricht flew from Berlin
to the Soviet Union Wednes-
day.
May Go to U. N.
The latest direct account Of
Mr.. Khrushchev's views was
reported to Washington by re-
firing United States AmbaSSa-
dor Llewellyn Thompson just
before he left Moscow last
week. He spent considerable
/ time with the Soviet leader a
week ago Wednesday.
Mr.. KhruShchev is under
stood to have told Mr.. Thomp-
son that he would have to make
UP his mind about the long
threatened peace treaty with
out too much further delay.
