He had not had time to

The

-. Gets
Beyond His Depth
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Word came to the Rambler
the other day that Washing
toms Great Books group was
going to discuss Thomas
Aquinas Monday night.
So in spite Of the blizzard,
he took a cab to All Souls
Unitarian Churc h at Six
teenth and Harvard where
the group meets. .-.
This Great Books move
ment, as you probably know,
was started by Mortimer Ad-
Ter almost 20 years ago when
he was a professor at the
University of Chicago under
President Robert Hutchins.
It is said there are more
than 1000 of these groups
around the country devoted
to reading and discussing the
100 great books of Western
culture, a list compiled by
Adler and Hutchins.
st. Thomas Summa Theo-
logica, a 21-volume 18th cen
tury attempt to encompass
all human knowledge, is the
high point on the list in
Prof. Adler's opinion.
It is a bridge between the
ancient and the modern
world, the marriage of phi
losophy and theology, the
exponent of eternal truth,
the key to right and wrong,
the guide to God.

BY WILLIAM DUKE
Star Staff Writer

Whatever the outcome Of the
May primary or the general

lawman for its new sheriff.

Mr.. Offutt, 48, has been with
the sheriff's office II years, and
has been chief deputy since
last July. He also is a former
Montgomery County policeman
and clerk of the Rockville Peo-
pies Court. He lives in Gath
ersburg.
His opponent in the Demo-
cratic primary is George P.
Broken, 81, of Bethesda, a
member of the sheriff's de-
partment since 1882, Mr..
Broken, a Navy veteran of
World War II and the Korean
War, was a civilian employee Of
the Navy Department before be-
coming a deputy.
Republican candidates for
sheriff are William A. Schot-
ter, 81, of Silver Spring, and
c. T. James Of Bethesda, presi-
dent Of the National Detective
Agencies, Inc.
Mr.. Schotter, a retired Wash
ington detective sergeant, has
been a deputy sheriff the last
seven-and-a-haif years. Dur
ing and after World War II,
he was a major in the Mill
tary Police, serving as Ameri-
can adviser to the Korean chief

you can tell him he got five

Cafe License
Repeat Is Off
To Tired Start

The clash between George
town residents and the 1889
Restaurant began a second
round before the District AL
cholic Beverage Control board
today.
Last November, after four
days of charges and counter
charges, the restaurant won a
license to sell hard liquor. But
renovation Of the building was
not completed before the end
of the year and an occupancy
permit therefore was not
granted. Thus the license did
not go into effect.
Today the same evidence
was presented. YEARLY, Rich
ard ]. McCooey, owner of the
restaurant now scheduled for
completion next month at
Thirty = sixth and Prospect
streets NV, testified once
again about details Of the
$350,000 establishment ard its
need" for a Glass C liquor
license.
He said a first-class restau-
rant can't be operated without
a license to serve hard liquor.
Mr.. McCooey sat with his
head on one hand. The boards
chairman had to ask him to
speak up so that he could be
heard.
Opponents, who live in the
neighborhood, also seem e d
rather weary Of the whole af-
fair as they submitted an esti-
mated 200 protests plus those
of the areas two citizens
associations.
'AlCnough the drama OF the
original hearing seemed gone,
the staging costs were mount
ing. The opponents-facing
the difficulty of winning a case
they had lost before the same
board a few months ago
already have spent funds esti-
mated in the thousands of
dollars.
The opponents charged the
restaurant would be within 400
feet of Georgetown University's
Foreign Service School and
Holy Trinity Parochial School,
but both institutions are back
ing the restaurant and are ex-
pected to testify again that
their main entrances are
further than the District 400
feet minimum from the
restaurant.

Jobs or Welfare

situation in part can be traced
to District residents whose
Jobs and environment present
great problems in the attempt
to hold families together. "They
are human beings" he said

jobs or give them welfare. It's
one or the other"

Negro crime in the District
is not q problem that can be
solved by Negroes alone, two
speakers told audiences here
yesterday.
After describing tensions
arising out Of the recent beat
ing Of q bus driver. the Rev.
Duncan Hewlett Of All Souls
Unitarian Church said: What
we have got to do is to learn
to talk across racial bounda-
rieS."
Both Negroes and whites are
concerned over incidents in
volving q small minority Of bus
drivers and a small minority
of juveniles. he said in his
sermon at the church.
At another meeting, Roy
wilkins, executive secretary Of
the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored
People. said the real question
is not what Negroes are doing
about crime, but what the Dis
trict Government is going to
do.
Little Working Together
DR.. Hewlett said there are
only a few places in the city
wrere Negroes and whites work
together on problems. One
example is the area boards of
the Commissioners Youth
Council, he said, although the
councils work has been "emas-
culated" because of congress
sional budget cuts. He ex-
pressed hope that more funds
would be voted at the current
session.
Mr.. Wilkins addressed the
District chapter of the NAACP,
which was marking the kick
off of its 1862 membership
campaign.
On the Districts crime sit
