Death of the Capitol

The death of a theater as vital as
the Capitol will be as personal to many
as the loss of an old friend. In its
golden years the showhouSe was an
ornate palace, luxuriously suited to
Hollywood's most eXtravagant produc-
tions.
It's tapestries and chandeliers and
deeply piled carpets, It's wide aisles and
roomy seats, helped us to escape for
two or three hours into a world Of
fantasy and romance where vaude-
Williams tumbled and joked, and where
the mighty Wurlitzer or the orchestra
rose from the pit to serenade us.
Those were the glittering years,
which faded into the desperation years
as vaudeville, organ and orchestra
slipped into oblivion, and even the
Super-sized screen could not win the
battle against television. The only gala
nights, and the only full houses, we're
those created by the Bolshoi or British
Royal Ballots or the Metropolitan Opera.
Now the house lights are dimming for
ever.
The death Of the Capitol provides,
Of course, another reason for proceeding
at full speed with regard TO the Cultural
Center. There will be, for instance, no
place in Washington where ballet can
be properly presented until the center
is built.
But even with the Center, when 1t
becomes reality, things will not be
the same. When we stroll past those
new offices on the south side Of F street,
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, we
expect to feel a pang.

Europe's Communists

We have all been paying lot OF
comforting attention, recently, to the
summit troubles of the split and sput-
tering international Communist move
ment. We have been paying practically
no attention to something much closer
to home-the growing strength Of do
nestle Communist parties in two coun-
tries of our Atlantic Alliance, Italy and
and France This could be mistake. 1t
was, after all, to prevent communism
from taking over in Western Europe
that we launched the Marshall Plan in
1945. If, now that Europe has become
rich and strong, communism should
come into its own there, the situation
would have its elements Of irony.
There is no question at all that the
Italian and French parties are expert
encing a remarkable boom. The recent
Italian election has put the spotlight
on Red strength there. The French
Communists show no less impressive
signs of rejuvenation. The question is
why
Part of the answer lies, no doubt,
in local situations In France, for in
stance, General de Gaulle has helped
the Communists because they perSonify
resistance to his right-wing style. In
italy, on the other hand, the late Pope
John helped them by making it respec-
table for Catholics to vote Communist.
But the basic causes for the new
Red strength probably lie in the chang
ing pattern of the cold war. Since the
danger of hot war now seems to be
receding, since communism is not now
seriously threatening to take over the
world by force, communism as a doc
trine may be looking more attractive to
the masses.
Or, to put it another way, local
Communist parties may be appealing
more effectively to the voters now that
the movement looks less like one diSci-
pinned, organized world conSpiracy-now,
in short, that Yugoslavia and China
provide daily reminders that non-Rus-
sian Communist need not take orders
from KhruShchev.
Which leads, of course, to some very
interesting speculations as to what 1T
all means to us.
Maybe, If the Communist movement
is no longer a monolithic, Moscow-di-
rected instrument, these burgeoning
Communist parties in Western Europe
are not really dangerous to the free
world. Maybe Communist party, going
It's own way, is Just another political
party. Maybe.
Or maybe these reSurgent parties
are what Mr.. Khrushchev has been wait
ing for as he breaches co-existence.
Maybe, in today's sophisticated world as
he sees it, Marx is to triumph not
through war, and not through violent
revolution-but peacefully, via the bal
lot box and the popular front
In this country, where the Commu-
mist party hardly exists, 1t is hard to
take the possibility seriously. But maybe
we ought to.

GoIdwoter's Miscue

Senator Goldwater probably didn't
help his cause much with that slam
bang speech before the Young Repub-
leans, despite the cheers he drew. We
are not objecting, of course, to attacks
on 'phony liberals" or welfare state
Democrats" Fredericksburg on domes-
tic issues is the spice of political life,
and we get fed up with liberals and
Democrats ourselves.
1t is something else, however, in
these dangerous times, to be recklesSly
accusing the administrators party Of
harboring every anti-American idea
that has ever occurred in this country"
The Democrats, Senator Goldwater said,
don't have the backbone to take risk
or make decision They don't under
stand that Americans are not towards"
This is bravura, but it hardly has
the tone of craftsmanship. 1t suggests
interesting questions as to what sort Of
risks and decisions Senator Goldwater
would favor. Would he, for instance,
invade Cuba? He doesn't say so, but he
seems to invite the inference.
Then there is the Presidents trip.
"A million cheers in Berlin" he said,
will not remove the wall Of shame"
Mr.. Kennedy we have no doubt, is every
bit as ashamed of the Berlin wall as
Senator Goldwater. But he is no more
responsible for its construction than is
the Senator, nor could he tear it down
without the danger of setting off
world conflagration.
The speech was full Of fight, but
not much else.

100 Years AGO

The Battle Of Gettysburg,
the greatest clash Of arms
ever to take place on this
continent, was fought a GEN.
fury ago this week. The
meeting of the Army Of
Northern Virginia and the
Army of the Potomac on this
site was accidental, rather
than by design. The town Of
Gettysburg was of no mill
tary significance, although 1t
was the hub Of many roads,
extending spoke-like to the
north, south, east and west.
Union cavalry occupied
Gettysburg on July 1, 1853,
having skirmished with Con-
federate infantry the day be-
fore. The skirmishing spread
and soon the blue and gray
armies we're massing on
either side Of the town.
Meade's men secured the high
points-including Cemetery
Ridge, Little Round Top and
Big Round Top-giving them
an advantage similar TO the
one the Confederates h a d
held at Fredericksburg's
Marye's Heights. Around 85,-
900 Union troops were en-
gagged in the fighting on
July /, 2 and 3, 1853. The
Confederate force numbered
between 10000 and $4,000. In
killed. wounded and missing,
the Federals lost some $4,000
men. The Confederate losses
we're believed equally great,
or greater, though the exact
figures have never been de-
termined. The North could

Eroding Rights

At last the National Asso-
citation Of Real Estate Boards
has taken a stand on an issue
that is vital to every Amer
lean. I am referring to their
Property Owners Bill Of
Rights published in The Star,
June 6.
Slowly but relentlessly our
individual rights are being
taken away from US. Wheth-
er under the guise Of advan-
tages for minority groups, or
yielding to governmental
pressure, individual freedoms
have steadily been eroded.
Can you imagine the clamor
and cutlery 50-even rs years
ago-if the Federal Govern
ment had tried to exercise
control over our private busi-
ness? Yet, today. 1t Is at
tempting TO do that and to
even control the sale Of our
private homes, with scarcely
a murmur Of disapproval
voiced.
The 10 points listed in the
Property Owners Bill OF
Rights are basic rights Of
every American. The tragedy
Of our times is that such an
article has to be written and
this freedom, that is our her.
itage. has TO be pointed out
and emphasized.

our race by praise and prayer
and worship"
OF course church going is
but one, although perhaps
the principal service. Sunday
waits to render. There are
other practices, for instance
even 20 minutes with q great
book such as Thomas a
Kempis' Imitation Of Christ"
which would make that
weekly oasis a channel OF
spiritual riches untold.
What one American soldier
boy, serving his country half
q world away, had done with
the Sundays which had been
a part of his young life is
revealed in a little poem by
Karl Shapiro. Here is what
his candid camera caught as
on Sunday morning the
bugle sounded the call to
worship. AS the boys thoughts
leaped wistfully to loved ones
far away he unused:
/ long for our disheveled Sundays
Breakfast, the comics, news of the
latest crime.
Sleep and the philharmonic and the
ponderous Times.
There is here no sign Of a

One does not have to be a

fairly caricatured) to pray,
"Save America from such
disheveled Sundays" - Sun
days which rightly used
would go far in redeeming
modern life from the secular
ism which threatens to utterly
damn it. For this precious
gift has fallen among thieves
who degrade it in a way
which cuts the spiritual
arteries of the Republic.
In this bewildered and
sophisticated Goth century,
with its cynical eclipse Of re-
ligious faith, the psalmist's
experience Of many centuries
ago has a sure word for such
an age. The troubled, gentle
singer Of the 73rd psalm was
sorely vexed by the arrogant
prosperity of evildoers. He
felt the grip Of his faith
loosening - his feet were
about to slip! Then he
records gratefully. II went
into the sanctuary" There,
inside the temple, a longer
view was unveiled. He saw
the final end of wicked men
and the empty vanity Of their
selfish devices.
1t was in a church in
Germany that I saw and
heard Christians whose pas
tors were in Jail as they
defied Hitler. In that sane
tuary they had the long look
that was not to be surprised
as Hitler lay poisoned like
a rat in a cellar, or Mussolini
hanging like a stuck pig from
a tree.
Think of the enrichment
the psalmist found multiplied
by hundreds of Sundays.
There is no more pertinent
question than, What are
you doing with your Sum-
days?" Do you use even two
hours out of the twenty-four
to add something to your
spiritual stature? Are you
using gold nuggets to fashion
marbles with which to play
a futile game, when perhaps
If the Sundays stretch to

Time for q Pause

Deliberation leads me to
disagree with your editorial,
Time for a Pause" The
proposed march on Wash
ington could and should be
an orderly demonstration,
not in protest against any
thing but rather in support
Of enactment of the civil
rights measures which our
President has somewhat be-
latedly but appropriately
recommended.
Such a march. with no &C
companying petitions or lob
bying, would be most impress
sive and not without national
impact. 1t would reveal an
unmistakable depth Of con-
viction and determination.
The value Of this action
would not lie in the number
of votes it might win. Con-
greSsmen will, I venture to
say. vote along these lines
anyway: A few from princi-
pie, more from personal pre-
conceptions, and most from
political compulsions. The
demonstration could, how
ever, confirm eloquently the
judgment of those who per-
ceive the urgency Of the
times.
During World War II,
when A. Philip Randolph
promised to lead a procession
to the Capitol unless Presi-
dent Roosevelt took action to
end race discrimination in
job opportunities under Gov
eminent contracts. he was
viciously accused Of almost
everything unpatriotic except
treason. But out Of the pros
pect Of this move came the
presidential FEPC.
AS I see it, the march on
Washington would not be, as
you scorchingly assert, "cli-
mactic idiocy." 1t would be
the GROWING elimination Of
preceding expressions else
where in the Nation. The
time to pause viii be there
after.

Gentle Reminder

Searching summer heat
has arrived and it is time
to keep bird baths, drink
ing fountains, and various
sorts of containers filled
with cool water in the shade
for our bird and animal
friends.
All but a few creatures
in the real country near ma
tural streams, brooks. or
springs must depend largely
upon us for help. Many have
to wait until lawns are wa
tered to catch a few cool
drops. Some must even de-
pend upon dirty water from
car washing. But, regular
containers for torrid Wash
ington's thirsty creatures
are q necessity and mercy,
not only near homes but in
grounds of churches, schools,
shopping centers, public
buildings, etc. - wherever
trees and shrubbery beautify
grounds some room can be
found for ornamental and
useful bird baths.
Squirrels, neglected and
strayed dogs and cats in our
city's front and back yards
can be provided with some
thing If only the slow drip
from a hose faucet into a
dish. In hot weather at times
water is even a greater ne
cessity than food. So let us
help those Of our neighbour
ing animal life which cannot
help themselves.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
1000 Sundays
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS

week ends. A cartoon pictures
the bored disgust Of a lad in
church with his parents, but
whose eyes were gazing long
ingly through a window near
their pew at Gods great out
of-doors. On the boys face is
painful CONSERVATION at the
awful prospect of Sundays to
come, as the adult congrega-
ton rises to sing, where
congregations ne'er break up
and Sabbaths never end"
That juvenile was in no mood
to buy an eternity of this
sort Of Sundays.
But, how about 1000 Sun
days when they have passed
in the swift panorama of al
lotted years and there are no
more to come? A we'll known
preacher tells Of facing that
situation as he was asked to
call on an elderly man who
was dying and who was ter
rified by the approach of the
grim specter. For all his
mature years he had been
immersed in pressing business
concerns. BY diligence in the
market place he had amassed
a great fortune but he had
found no time for a religion
which was anything more
than a mere form. The things
unseen and eternal had beat
upon his heart in vain. The
ruling passion Of his life was
symbolized not by a cross but
by q cash register. Now that
earth was receding he
was facing the consequences
of having laid up no treas
ure beyond the commercial
counters he had known so
we'll.
The good pastor called to
the bedside spoke as tenderly
as he could about the wide
ness of Gods mercy, about
the assurance Of the Chris
tan faith, and the strength
ening influence Of the divine
grace which Is available as
rod and staff even In the
valley of the shadow. But, all
the riches Of the good news
seemed to mean no more to
the one about to finish his
earthly course than a painted
ship upon a painted ocean.
With bitter and broken spirit
he confessed, II have led a
very busy life, ! have never
really had time for that sort
of thing. AS unable to com
municate" this devoted min
lister turned sadly away from
this dying devotee of man.
mon he was overheard to
murmur to himself-"too
busy, no time for the things
that matter most, yet he had
1000 Sundays!"
That suggests a vital query
for every person living In
this land built on the reality
of spiritual verities. What
am / doing with my Sundays
1000 of them; or with 1000
5000 or 1000? Alas, for any
American for whom a church
spire is no longer a magnet
on the day meant to be
chiefly devoted to keeping
the things of the spirit alive
In church-any church-one
finds waiting that which can
be found nowhere else, some
thing that keeps faith sweet
and strong. A man who has
returned to regular church
worship services, after sew
eral years Of emitting that
source Of enrichment as a
weekly habit. recently frank
ly confessed his realization
of values which for so long
he had deliberately subtracteC
from his own well being and
development. A modern
prophet, who has not the
slightest interest in making
Sunday a burden instead OF
q boon, recently said to a
great concourse Of people in
New York-"Spiritually your
life will shrink and shrivel
unless one day in seven you
turn from the cycle of COM
mon tasks and nourish il
after the ancient fashion Of
