SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
What's S New?
by DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

whats new?" is a ubiqui-
tous greeting g which calls
forth as many replies as
there are persons. Answers to
this familiar query tend to
bring individual experiences
up to date. AS a year draws
to its close the custom grows
to include with the greeting
a sort of round-robin ac-
count of the welfare and
whereabouts of each member
of the family-all to answer
the question, whats newp"
When, in the cycle of a
year, January the first cap
lures a new calendar, the
universal response to the
question whats new?" is
"the year"-it's a New Year,
the old has gone, the new is
here! Today's date is new. OF
course 1t has to be taken for
granted that the questions
which clamor for attention,
and the human problems S
which press for solution, are
old. They color all that is
la be- lie d new. They have
slipped through the mystic
passage when an old year
dies and there is q new face
at the door. The new year
starts with all the accumu-
lated, unfinished business
which breaks through the
portal from the old to the
new. Most in the new year is
old.
All this suggests global
consideration which in the
New Year calls for national
and international leaders to
exercise the wisdom of Solo,
mon, the patience of Job, the
justice of Moses, and shall
we say. reverently, the COM
passion Of Jesus who, when
followed, makes all things
new.
Now the fundamental re-
quirement Of Jesus, as he
dealt with individuals, was
that each person who be-
comes His disciple must be
made new. The saints re-
vered in 10000 churches to-
day are men whose lives were
radically changed. whats
new?" is the title Of the BIZ
ographies of Peter, James,
John, Paul and all the rest
of the saints in light who
were not conformed but
Transformed
The process Of becoming
new is a supreme test of in
dividual achievement In the
realm of character. An hon.
est answer to the testing
question, what's new?" re-
cords the rise toward the
golden goal which lures on
from the clods to the skies.
In any realm, If there is
nothing new as time passes
the inevitable gravitation is
to dwindle and stagnate.
Henry Van Dyke makes q
profound statement as he de-
clares: MANY a saint in the
making seems to be marred
by faults and conflicts from
which the SNUG, careful, rep
utable sensualiSt is exempt.
The difference between the
two Is not one of position,
it is one of direction. The
one, however high he stands,
is moving down; the other,
however low he starts, is
moving up"
That searching distinction
lifts the question, what's
new?" We are concerned here
with the category Of those on
the way up, those who can
say with st. Paul, II have
not yet attained but I Strug-
gle upward"
The chief realization that
the New Year brings, II in our
hands is a mirror in which is

Cultural Site

arLlcle py hODerD j. Lewis
tStar, December 2D about
shifting the National Cultur-
al Center downtown, a move
supported by the Washing
ton Building Congress, the
American Society of Land
scape Architects and many
people in the National Cap
ital Downtown Committee.
II these groups are so
keenly interested in culture
in downtown Washington
why don't they join the Ma
tional Symphony, the Ballet
Guild, the Opera Society, the
Musicians Union and others
in trying to save the Capitol
and Keith's Theaters? They
were notably absent when
Washington's cultural lead
ers testified this past Sep
tember before the House Dis
trict Committee on bills by a
group Of House members to
save those great theaters for
Washington's own cultural
groups.
1t is interesting to recall
that Senator Fulbright and
Representative Frank
Thompson, co-sponsors Of
the National Cultural Center
Act, first proposed to locate
the National Cultural Center
across the Mall from the Ma
tional Gallery of Art. That is
still an excellent suggestion
since it is so near the heart
of the city, and Edward D.
Stones proposed building
would superbly complement
the National Gallery of Art.
An even more exciting
compromise would be to
swap the present National
Cultural Center site for the
27-acre site reserved by the
Congress for the Franklin D.
Roosevelt Memorial. The ad-
vantages of such q trade are
obvious. No roads are
planned for the FDR Memo
rial site, so a truly park-like
setting could be provided.
Since FDR always wanted a
simple memorial. 10 acres
ought to suffice and, indeed,
be more than ample. 1t is a
striking commentary on the
way things are done in Wash
ington that a memorial gets
q acres, while a National
Cultural Center. in which
millions of Americans will
participate, gets about a
third Of such an amount Of
land.
This swap should make ev-
erybody happy including
President Kennedy, Gen.
Eisenhower, Jarold A. Kief-
fer, and Washington's cultur-
al leaders. Why? Because the
Watergate Inn and the Wax
works Museum would not
have TO be razed and money
ESTIMATED at 81 million)
would not have to be spent
to round out the National
Cultural Center property,
since the FDR Memorial site
is entirely owned by the Fed
eral Government. This is a lot
more money than was realized
after expenses by the recent
November 29) telecast for the
National Cultural Center, so
its Board of Trustees should
be buttonholing the FDR
Memorial people and the
Congress to make this swap
possible. They should be put
ting as much energy into this
as they did into the telecast.
After all. the Congress is al
ways extremely interested in
saving money, especially in
Washington.

Some Meat TO Get
Smoke FIuvorinq
BY the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department
said yesterday the use of smoke
flavorings and artificial smoke
flavorings will be permitted in
the processing of certain fed
orally inspected meat products.
Smoke flavorings consist of
safe, soluble ingredients in
smoke. Artificial smoke flavor
ings include these ingredients
plus spice extracts and other
flavorings.
Before the recent change
regulations required tn a
smoke flavor in meats had to
come from exposure of the
meat to smoke from burning
hardwood or hardwood saw
dust.
The use of smoke flavorings
or artificial smoke flavorings
still is not permitted in the
preparation of products such
as ham, bacon, frankfurters
and bologna. which consumers
normally would expect to be
smoked over burning hard
wood.

Hodges Backs
Fast TaxCut
Action in '63
By LEE M. COIN
Star staff Writer

Commerce Secretary Hodges
wants fast action on tax cuts
in 1858. even If tax reform
legislation to close "loopholes"
must be postponed a year or
two.
If the administration insists
on combining tax reform with
tax cuts, he warned a news
conference yesterday, the whole
tax program may get begged
down."
The economy urgently needs
tax cuts, he said, whether or
not tax reforms are enacted.
Emphasizing that he was ex-
pressing his own views, Mr..
Hodges suggested that it might
be a good idea for Congress
to enact temporary tax cuts,
which would expire in one or
two years unless extended as
part of legislation closing loop
holes.
Reforms Controversial
He indicated his belief that
some such approach may be
necessary to push tax reduc-
tons through Congress early
in 1868. Tax reform is consid-
cred much more controversial
than tax reduction.
Mr.. Hodges noted that Treas
ury Secretary Dillon favors link
ing tax reforms with tax re-
auctions. This is the official
administration policy, but there
have been indications in recent
months that President Kenne-
dy's proposals for tax reform
may be only perfunctory,
For Business Incentive
The tax cut program, Mr..
Hodges said, should focus on
heightening incentives for bust
ness investment. This view
point indicates that he favors
emphasizing tax relief for cor
porations and individuals in
high income brackets.
Mr.. Hodges also reported
that manufacturers sales in
creased l per cent in Septem-
Der over the August level, on
a seasonally adjusted basis,
and manufacturers new orders
increased 2 per cent.
He said the Cuba crisis has
had no "appreciable" effect on
the economy so far.
