Park Police Chief Harold F
Stewart, banished to Guam last
year after refusing to resign
has returned to Washington
and appears in line for a new
assignment-thiS time with the
Fish and Wildlife Service.
Chief Stewart has been back
in town since March 19-he re-
turned quietly and went to
work on a report of his study
of police needs at Guam-and

Federal Worker

A Federal employe running

said today he has heen dis
qualified for office by an ole
Virginia law.
Jay Shanklin said Virginia
Attorney General Robert Y
Button had held that, since he
is a Federal employe, state law
bars him from holding office
Mr.. Shanklin, an attorney
for the National Labor Rela
tionS Board, said he woulc
challenge the ruling, which he
called merely the opinion Of
a lawyer, although a very high
ranking one"
The State Supreme Court of
Appeals has never ruled on
whether a Federal employe
may hold office as a council
man, Mr.. Shanklln said. He
said that about so per cent of
Fairfax residents are Federal
employees. and added that their
right to participate in City
Government is under a cloud

members of the Arlington

cause they were Federal en-
ployes.

"Chief Stewart is probably
one of the most qualified men
to do the job" Mr.. Beasley
commented.
He said most Of the study
will be done in Washington al
though there may be some
small trips involved to Fish
and Wildlife field offices.
Interior officials decided to
send Chief Stewart to Guam
last September. The assign
ment came after the Park Police
chief said he did not intend to
resign his post although In
terror officials wanted to re-
organize the force. FeudS and
internal diSSenSion had plagued
the force for some time.
Since Chief Stewart has been
on his special assignment, his
duties have been taken over by
Nash Castro, an assistant super
intendent Of National Capital

The search was launched in
traditional style when a dis

REMBRANDT painted this
in 1858, about the time of
the so-called Night Watch"
the period in which the art
iSt in him insisted on contin-
uing the use of light in
darkness-an insiStency that
led to bankruptcy.
Today his major pictures
of this period, and this is one,
would bring several million
dollars each.
This is a painting by a
Protestant who continued
the medieval and renais-
Sance tradition of picturing
the Savior and the saints.
Religious paintings in Hol-
land in Rembrandt's day
were not for churches, but
for private homes.
The Lutheran church con-
tinued to use art as a stim-
ulus for religious experience.
But Holland had undergone
the second reformation, that
of Calvin.
The CalviniSts had rediS-
covered the commandment
in Exodus, Thou shalt not
make unto thee any craven
image" Their churches were
pure and bare.
This was not the first time.
In the 9th and the 9th CEN
turies the Patriarchs of Con-
stantinople used the same
commandment to forbid the
making of ikons, pictures of
Christ and the saints.
Fortunately for Western
art the Popes of Rome held
that pictures and statues
were not idols, but remind
ers.

Good Friday

I never will forget the first
time I rounded that corner.
1t is in the National Gal
lery of Art.
An unforgettable expert
ence because a picture on
the far wall came into view.
Dramatic is the common
place word that comes to
mind. But dramatic will not
do.
Startling is a little better.
Out of the dark and shades
of the canvas you can imme-
diately grasp what is hap
pening.
They are taking Christ
down from the cross.
The artist is Rembrandt
van Ryn.
There are many crucifix-
ions. Two Italian ones are
in the same room.
There are not many de-
scents from the cross.
Rubens painted one a little
before this. 1t is in Antwerp.
Michelangelo's moving
sculpture, the Pieta, the
Madonna with the body of
her son ON her knees, is COM
ing to the New York Worlds
Fair. That is a kindred sub
ject.
Rembrandt'S Descent
From the Cross" is worthy of

The Justice opinion came
from the legal counsel's office

The President has yet tc
name the chief judge or tc
appoint two new judges of the
Juvenile Court, as authorized
by a law passed March 9 BY
Congress. Judge Ketcham is
considered the front runner fol
the chief judges job because
of his experience as the sole
Judge on the present court.
Democrats Expected
Judge Ketcham was a Re,

two new judges are expected
to be Democrats.

Prince Georges County reSid-

on budget for the year begin

to support it.
AS adopted by the county
commissioners yesterday, the
owners of a $4,000 home will
be paying an additional $50,
or a total of $269.50 in real

The new rate Of $2.45 per $10O
assessed valuation represents
the first increase in two years,
and will go toward the $34.4
million Prince Georges must
pay into the budget.
Funds from Federal, State
and other sources will make up
the balance Of $24.5 million.
The approved budget is $8.2
million over last years appro-
priation, and SIG million less
than had been asked. The $50 5
million request would have
needed a 28-cent tax jump.
S75O,OO0 Found
While trying to whittle down
the budget for the last month

YET THE BODY of Christ,

hands and feet. But rigor
mortiS has not fixed the final

1t is thought that the man

beard who is receiving the
body is Peter-Peter the rock

institution, the church, is
built, Peter who only the day
before had denied Him three
times.

body is otherwise lost in the

hand before a candle. The
candle is the only light.

the foot Of the cross is
thought to be Joseph of

tomb for the burial.
There are two men on lad

piece, almost lost in the dark.
They have just released the
body.
And in the right hand
corner is Mary.
This is not the girl Mary,
the tender child of Fra An

is a middle-aged woman, a
strong woman. The hard
ships of life have made her
face almost as masculine as
feminine. But this evident

as is the practice, after exist
ing laws.
Mr.. Katzenbach said he was
unaware of the Juvenile Court
Act language, which separates

tions" in the same way as the
two other court laws. The
Justice analysis had only to
do with the particular statutes"

and the Municipal Appeals
Court, he said.
"As I recall, we were asked
from within the Justice De-
partment to check the Ian
guage." he explained. AL
though it was not crystal clear,
our best judgment was that
the President could designate
the chief judge"
Mr.. Katzenbach is related by
marriage to Juvenile Court
Judge Orm Ketcham. Mr.. Katz-
enbach's wife is the sister Of the
judges wife.
Senator Bible has been ad-
vised by neutral" lawyers that
the Justice reasoning is Shaky
in light Of the legislative his
tory of local laws as we'll as
the wording.
The Municipal Appeals Court
law says the chief Judge is to
be appointed for 10 years. The
law gives the President no
authority to remove a chief
judge. so appointed, during his
term and to designate another
as chief judge in his stead.
The Municipal Court law Is
less specific. But President
Roosevelt after its passage sent
the Senate the name of George
P. Barse Ito be appointed as
, chief judge of the Municipal
! Court -" Some lawyers insist
the Presidents Interpretation

) ceptance by the Senate of such
an Interpretation. should be
accepted as the meaning Of the
Municipal Court law.
Hearing Plans
Committee Chairman Bible
wants to discuss the questions
thoroughly with his members.
Hearings will proceed on the
pending nominations If agree
ment is reached with Justice.
If interpretations Of the law
continue to differ, clarifying
legislation may be introduced.
The nominations put the
question squarely before Sena-
tor Bibles committee because
one judge has been nominated
as an associate judge" and
each Of the three others as
Judge" The associate" pre-
sumably would be eliminated
from possible designation as
chief judge within his term.
Traditionally. before now,
Presidents have sent all nomi-
ness to the Senate either as
associate judges" or as chief
judges"
