Credit for Airport

I have noted with great
interest many of the pub
lished stories during the
dedication Of the Dulles
International Airport, but it
has seemed to me there have
been some names missing to
whom credit should be given.
The Dulles Airport was
saved and authorized in the
debate in the House OF.
Representatives on August
6, 1857, and l might add. it
Was quite a bitter debate at
times. There were those Of
us who were convinced that
Washington should have its
third airport and that 1t
should be built by the Govern
ment. : was 9 member of the
subcommittee Of the Appro-
priations Committee which
offered the amendment to go
forward with its construc-
ton. This was az q time
when Jet airliners were on
the drawing boards. Our
committee was convinced by
the testimony Of James Pyle,
the administrator Of the
Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton. His testimony in the
hearing was outstanding and
convincing. 1t was he, the
predecessor Of Mr.. Quesada,
who really convinced Con-
gress that the third airport
should be built, and I feel
that Mr.. Pyle is entitled to a
well done" by all Of those
who now are basking In the
glory Of Dulles International.
And with him recognition
should be given to those
farsighted Members Of Con-
gress who insisted upon the
third airport. At the dedica-
ton ceremonies, for some
reason or other, the Con-
gress was conspicuous by its
absence.
Frank T. Bow,
Representative from Ohio.

admirable positions for their

is expected the railroad will
be finished tomorrow from
Aqua Creek to the Kappa
hammock opposite Fredericks-
burg. The cars carry supplies
as far as Brooks Station, six
miles from Aqua Creek,
which greatly accommodates
our troops. Notwithstanding
the bad condition of the
roads, quartermaster supplies
have been promptly for
warded. Long lines of roads
have been corduroyed and are
in good condition. The camp
fires of the enemy are con-
stantly increasing in sight of
Falmouth, affording indica-
tions of the augmentation of
all the Rebel forces. Lee has
Joined Longstreet and A. P.

visible Tin Fredericksburg is
a British one floating from a
private residence. The soldiers
Of both armies use the river,

times within hailing distance.

day our troops appeared in

This paper reported a long
train Of pontoons arrived ION
November IS. 1882 just five
days behind time. The mis-
take of the campaign. thus

Housing Edict

This voteless native son Of
the Capital Of democracy
would like to comment on the
Presidents Executive order
banning all racial bias In
housing financed by Federal
funds. The tragic experience
Of this community should
serve a grave warning to the
rest Of the Nation, when and
If naked Federal power Is
allowed to dictate acceptance
Of the economic dictum: No
longer need the buyer be-
ware. but let the seller be
damned.
The map documenting The
Stars pessimistic report on
the effect Of federally
sponsored desegregation
practices should convince the
fair-minded of the Executive
orders mischievous potential.
About indignation only is
accomplished in areas under
dictatorial Federal authority.
Outside of the Federal Gov
ernment's un-American do
main, community purpose
and community consent Is
controlling. Only in a vote
less community can the
Federal Government impose
political sanctions and pref
erences, defiant of radical
reverses of group custom and
practices in the market place.
Now the Federal Government
wants to extend its arbitrary
disciplines to sovereign States
which accept Federal financ-
ing.
This decree can do no more
mischief here. God only
knows what it can demand
of this voteless community,
which the NAACP has not
already received. We only can
serve as a warning against
further encroachment of
hungry Federal power and
the Unsuitable eagerness Of
the NAACP to get for them
selves what they deny others.
I am one of those who can
prove that I speak of reali-
ties. Under the guise of hous-
ing regulations, my house was
searched from cellar to gar
ret, without warrant or show
of probable cause, and I was
commanded under penalty of
sanctions to make unreason-
able repairs and compliances.
Under Federal direction our
public schools were uncondi-
tionally desegregated, with
denial of any option or
remedy for whites being re-
Quired to attend schools
overwhelmingly colored. AS a
result my com m IN 1t y
changed from white to one
where we are a harassed
minority. Some seem to think
it is good sport to make you
move in desperation. The
biggest shame is having to
sell at a Furnishing loss and
the cynical, exploiting and
predatory greed of the specu-
lating block buster. In too
many instances. fine colored
people have been saddled
with impossible debt and
usury. Husband and wife

so Years AGO

A survivor of the Titanic
disaster said in a speech here
so years ago that 1t was I'M
true that the ships band had
played Nearer, MY God To
Thee" or anything else, as
the liner sank. The Star Of
November "a, 1912, quoted
Col. Archibald Oracle as say
ing in an address at the Uni
versity Club: 1.-THE band was
heroic, but it must be said,
in truth, that they did not
play as the ship went down,
and did not play for some
time before the end. I per-
sonally saw some Of the in
struments thrown down in
corners, where they had been
abandoned. Fixing the minds
of the passengers on the pos
sibility of their being nearer
to God. would have been
the last thing wanted.
and If they had started the
famous hymn. / think 1t GER
tain we would have stopped
them, forcibly if necessary. In
fact. the time of these men
could have been much better
taken up in aiding us to load
the boats, and I have no
doubt that some of them
realized this and did so. :"
"Merrie Old England" was
pictured as a sad place 50
years ago under the stern
rule of Queen Mary. The Star
of November "a, 1912. report
ed from London: THE purists
hold the upper hand and even
the most harmless form of
amusement is frowned upon.
Queen Mary rules and her
will is law. From the day that
the late King Edward drew
his last breath, Queen Mary
has been waging war against
what she considers the world
the flesh and the devil. She
has started with the music
halls and unless she is
stopped. these places Of
amusement may soon pre-
pare to close and turn their
halls over to evangelists for
prayer meetings. :"

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Soul Erosion
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

On all sides voices are being
raised confidently telling
what is the matter with these
times which are out of joint.
If cures were as easy as
diagnoses there. would be
better prospects of setting
things right, but answers are
much more rare than stated
problems. That is true with
regard to the maladies
threatening human existence
in our modern complex So
ciety.
There Is, for instance, the
physical havoc being wrought
by air and water pollution.
There is the constant draining
off of irreplaceable treasure
by soil erosion. Wrapped up
in that phrase is a frighten-
ing process by which yearly
our country is being robbed
of irretrievable riches. In
the name of progress the
future Is being sold literally
down the river" The yellow
in our streams and waterways
is the golden deposit of the
good earth taken from the
constantly diminishing supply
of our basic asset. 1t is indeed
a solemn thing to contem-
plate that it takes nature
from 200 to a 1000 years to
bring back a single inch of
topSoil. Across the expanding
years grasping hands, I'M
knowingly, have Embossed the
strong cords which held the
rich land together and kept
it from tumbling seward.
Exhausted plains, denuded Of
supporting roots and grasses,
were constantly deserted in
the march West for new con-
quests of the ak and the
pillow. At long last the conser-
walton crusade is sounding
the warning and inaugurating
remedial, constructive pro-
grams.
But the most appalling loss
in this gadget-mad day is
not soil erosion, but soul
erosion. The ethical top toll
in which alone can blossom
truth, beauty, goodness, SYM
pathy. pity, righteous indig-
nation. civil courage, and
God-fearingness is being
eroded. Who, with his hand
upon the pulse Of these ma
terial-centered times can
deny that. in spite Of de-
ceiving statistics regarding
church attendance, ours is q
generation living largely on
the spiritual capital be-
queathed to those whose in
heritance is being bartered
for mere things? With life de-
nuded Of its fundamental be-
liefs, its loyalties, its values
by the winds of a doubling
cynicism and by the muddy
rivers Of secularism, former
gardened areas Of the spirit
are being turned into moral
Saharas where nothing truly
spiritual can find rootage.
The editor Of q great news
paper, in a recent address to
fellow craftsmen of the news
paper world, startled and
aroused them by delivering
a message which burned like
fire in his bones on, who
is tampering with the soul of
American" If any hesitate
to listen seriously to what
is said from pulpits under
church spires, hear We him.
This editor declared that
while we are a great people
with noble traditions, with
much to teach the world,
when I look upon my own
country I see much that dis
turbs me-" He reminded his
colleagues Of the press that
while our Puritan ancestors
paid exaggerated attention to
sin their philosophy rested
on a great granite rock. In
their world man was the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-25

master of his soul. In spite
of all the caricatures OF the
Puritans that are easy to
draw, they wrested livings
from rocky land, built our
earliest colleges, started our
literature, caused our indus
trial revolution. and bawled
for abolition, women's suf-
frage and prison reforms.
They we're a tremendous
people"
In recent years this dis
tinguished editor sadly points
to the fact that all this has
changed in America. We
have decided that sin Is
largely imaginary, and that
man moves in an environ
ment that will tend to make
him good or that will tend
to make him evil. The mod
ern attitude to all phases OF
life is that man is made or
marred by forces beyond his
control.
This editor has some perth
nent things to say regarding
symptoms Of our moral de-
generacy. He asks, Can
anyone deny that our movies
are dirtier than ever?" And
we might add the same ap-
plies to the pernicious and
salacious literature which Is
on sale everywhere In So
called decent places. But our
generation does not call 1t
DRIFT is called realism.
Russian literature may be
corny, but it Is clean" A few
months ago an American
touring company sponsored
by the State Department and
paid for by tax dollars pre-
sented one of Tennessee
Williams more depraved
offerings to an audience in
Rio de Janeiro. The audience
hooted in disgust and walked
out. And where did they walk
to? Right across the street
where a Russian ballet COM
pany was putting on a beauti-
full performance for the glory
of Russia. No wonder an
American, seeing this exhibit
ton, asks, How dumb can
we get?"
Now what is the conclusion
Of the whole matter so far as
our editor turned preacher
is concerned? Here 1t is.
at is time we hit the saw
dust trail. 1t is time we re-
vived the idea that there is
such a thing as sin-just
plain old willful sin. 1t is
time we brought self-disci-
pline back into style. In
short, gentlemen, let's cover
up tn e cesspool and start
planting some flowers. I am
genuinely disturbed that to
idealistic youth in many
countries the fraud Of COM
munism appears synonymous
with morality. while we. the
chief repository Of real free
dom, are regarded as being
in the last stages Of decay"
In America we need some
Jeremiahs who will dynamite
the contented but blind COM
placency of this land Of the
free by asking, in season and
out of season, the question,
How long can America
stand the present erosion Of
decency and of principle?"

Your son does not exist in
a vacuum. Consequently, his
school subjects must be
meaningful to him as a
preparation for both his
present and his future. They
must not be regarded as
mental gymnastics to be got
through so he can join the
living exemplified by you and
other adults with whom he
comes into contact.
Are you and your husband
reading and discussing books
touching on your sons cur
rent school subjects? Are
these books available to your
son?
Does your family. includ-
ing your son, converse on the
news, art, music, history, re-
ligion, politics, literature. So
ciology, psychology. science,
mathematics, electronics or
whatever comes naturally at
the moment - including bi-
ology?
Does your family take ad-
vantage of the numerous free
cultural advantages Of Wash
ington, such as museums, art
galleries, libraries, plays, con-
certs and the opportunities to
see history in the making, of
which Washington has more
than its share?
Do you watch television ev-
cry night from 7 to II pm.
or do you listen to only GER

one or two a week? Is your
television-watching Selective?
Do you use your television
or does 1t use you?
Is your record collection
haphazard or is 1t represen-
tative Of your family's cul-
tural interests and aspira-
tions?
Does your family have an
interest or hobby in which
your son can participate full
ly, such as fishing. photog-
raphy, ham radio operating
or painting, to mention a
few?
Does your son have a hob
by, or has he been stopped
in his initial cropping toward
one by a negative attitude,
such as mo, you can't have
a sleeping bag, they're too ex-
pensive?" Or, Music is for
sissies, so If you want to hear
music, turn on the radio" Or
whoever heard of such a
ridiculous idea?'
Make sure your son has a
good supply of reference
books, such as a dictionary,
a Bible and, if possible an
encyclopedia.
Good luck to you and I
hope this has helped you
somewhat.
