ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. % (AP)
L. Judson Morhouse resigned
yesterday after eight years as
Republican State chairman,
and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
said he was "saddened" by the
development.
The resignation came in the
wake of an election In which
Gov. Rockefeller won a new
term but repeatedly was dis
appointed in the size Of his
vote.
The surprise announcement
by Mr.. Morhouse touched off
speculation that all was not
we'll between him and the Gov
ernor, but a Rockefeller spokes-
man said the Republican Gov
ernor had neither requested the
resignation nor indicated he
wanted it.
The Governors office made
public a. letter in which Gov
Rockefeller told Mr.. Morhouse
Il am deeply indebted to you

you have given me in the cam

JoiIing Man

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 20 (AP).-
A long search for key witnesses

reasons for keeping a man in

that a search for missing wit

Folk Singing Pictured
As Mass Culture Rival

Prof. Wilgus noted that medic
val ballads which for years ha6
been considered lost have
turned up again on college
campuses.
And on the Texas Mexico
border, singers still relate the
ups and downs in the lives OF
border families in the "decima,
a traditional l0-line ballad.
Gone, Of course, are the busk-
ers that used to wander with
their songs from Arkansas to
Kansas, and the patent medi-
cine wagons bringing music OF
more reliable healing power
than their medicinal wares
Community sings and family
songfests have also disappeared
Records Help
Folk traditions no longer
have the popular influence they
did in the 10Th century, for
example, when partisans of the
Robin Hood legend rioted after
being forbidden to hold festi-
walls in his honor. Puritans had
objected that the celebrations
were being turned into orgies.
These traditions have been
replaced by what the students
of folklore call mass culture"
- primarily television, radio,
movies and photograph records.
The folk song revival, since
1t is taking place largely
through the medium of phono-
graph records, is an aspect of
m ass culture. Prof. Wilgus
points out that there is a ten
dency to judge songs according
to whether or not they seem
to be folk" songs, not just on
their merit as songs.
In this respect the revival is
not a spontaneous continuation
of the folk tradition. Folk
singers don't consciously try to
sound like folk singers.
However, he also pointed out
that the increased study of
folk traditions that goes along
with the revival has unearthed
some songs which the real folk
singers had forgotten, giving
them a chance to relearn some
of their own material.

The coalition of three Repub'
licans and one Democrat that
controls the Fairfax Board Of
County Supervisors has reaf.
firmed an earlier agreement to
elect A. Claiborne Leigh chair
man for 1868.
The vote should be cast at
the first meeting Of the year,
Wednesday. AS in the last three
years, the board probably will
align 4-3, with the minority
Democrats backing their own
candidates for chairman and
vice chairman.
The coalition has decided to
elect Robert c. Gotten vice
chairman of the board.
The four cooperating SUPER
visors worked out their position
during a long luncheon session
Wednesday at the University
Club in Washington. They also
discussed their probable NOM
nations for some 20 appoin-
tive positions that will be va
Gated during the next year.
The four repeatedly arrived
at an agreement on who they
will name to four or five posts
that the county board will be
called on to fill within the next
few weeks.

sweeping authority" to revoke
or suspend drivers licenses, the

qualified to operate an auto
mobile or shows a fragrant dis
regard for the safety Of people
or property.
Power Not Delegated
Although possessed of the
power to suspend an operators
permit where there has been a
breach Of usual and reasonable
traffic rules and regulations,
the District Commissioners have
not delegated e. sweeping au-
thority to the Director of Motor
Vehicles" the court said.
The court ruled in the case of
F. Justin Mason, 20, of 1924
Prospect street NV.
Mr.. Mason, a self-employed
printer, was charged last March
with permitting an unlicensed
operator to drive his car in
the District. He was found
not guilty by Municipal Court
Judge Andrew j. Howard IT.,
after q court hearing.
Two months later, however,
Mr.. Mason was ordered to ap-
pear at a hearing at the Motor
Vehicles Department to show
cause why his operating privi-
legeS should not be suspended
or revoked because Ct the

License Suspended
The department suspended
Mr.. Mason's driving license for

Council Of Florence in the fif-
teenth century.
FATHER TAVARD has writ
ten a brief history Of Catho-
lie and Protestant ecumenical
thought during the last two
centuries. His primary objec-
tive is to summarize the Cath
Ollie contribution to ecumen-
zeal thought and progress, but
this necessarily entails a rath-
er thorough discussion Of
Protestant thought on the sub
ject.
Protestant ecumenism finds
its beginnings in the oxford
Movement and in the Prot
estant liturgical revival of the
last century. 1t has culminat-
ed in the cooperative efforts
of Protestant churches crys-
talized through the World
Council of Churches. Probab-
ly the most important achieve
ment of Protestant ecumen-
ism, however, is that it has
had some success in a~rresting
the splintering tendencies
which had been characteristic
of Professionalism since the Re-
formation.
Although Catholic ecumen-
ism was warmly supported by
Pope Leo XIII, it has been
slow in developing, partially
as a result Of the Modernist
heresy. Progress has been
m a d e, however, especially
since the end of the last war;
this is evidenced by our defin-
tie interest In lnter-denOmln~
ational dialogues and by Pope
Johns manifest concern for
Christian unity.
FATHER TAVARD con-
cludes his book by saying that
the solution to the ecumen.
ical question - the union of
all Christians in one fold I'M
der Christ's Vicar on earth -
may not be imminent; it may
not be realized in our lifetime;
but it must, nevertheless, be
the object of our fervent hope,
our constant prayer. If unity
comes, it will come by de-

grees; not as the result Of a
sudden inspiration. 1t will
come through the cooperation
and mutual understanding of
Christian people who are
Joined together. if not by an
actual bond, at least by a bond
Of charity.
This book responds to a dis
tinct need among English
reading people. 1t is invalu-
able to those who wish to UNI

aspirations. 1t will be vel

important occasions. He put
on one of the best displays of

U.N. Furiously and fran
tically he denounced these
"aspersions" on Russian love

summarized the situation in
the New York Herald-Trib-
une of Dec. 2: "If the assump-
ton is sound that Russia,
deep down in its heart, does
not want communist China adj

that it would have to conceal
its innermost thought and de-
sires with exaggerated pro-
testations of loyalty to COM

Mr.. Zorin may have sought to

piled by the states, except in
a few special cases. The states
can supply it if the federal
government will stop monop-
olizing the b~est-sources of tax
income.
Mr.. Eisenhower warned that
the states must be alert to
meet their responsibilities if
we are to preserve "the kind
of America we have known"
He emphasized that "the
preservation of the states as
vigorous, powerful govern
ment entities is essential to
permanent individual freedom
and national growth"
Why is THIS so? It is so
because American liberty and
American power depend ulti-
mately on the industry and in
ventivenesS of millions of in
dividuals.
Encouragement of personal
enterprise is the genius of the
American way of life. 1t is
what has made America
what America is.
WOULD BE OPPOSED to
federal aid to education even
if it did not discriminate
against schools in which re-
ligion is taught along with the
other branches of knowledge.
If there are really a few
states too poor to see to the
proper education of every
child, then to that extent the
other states, through the fed
eral government, should help.
FOR THE REST OF IT, the
states should meet their own
school problems. And the
states should encourage par
ents to take their share of ed
vocational responsibility. This
could be done by granting tut
ton credits to parents who re-
lieve public schools of the cost
of educating their children.
Or it could be done, at least
in large part, by allowing tax
deductions or exemptions for
tuition costs, within reason.
That way, liberty and prog
resS would be fostered.

the organization of workers

Christian unions are the only
