OUR RELIGIONS

When Abraham Lincoln was
President. he was constant in
his church attendance at the
old New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church about three
blocks from the White House.
A new church building stands
now on this site but the old
pew, occupied by President Lin
coin, is still there. Not only
did he go to church on Sunday
but he was regular in attend
ance at the mid-week prayer
meeting" on the street floor
Thursday nights. He did not
sit in the lecture room with
the other people, but quietly
secluded himself in the study
of the Rev. DR.. Phineas Gurley,
at the southeast corner Of the
building.
Usually his presence was not
known and he would slip out
the side door and walk back
to the White House. On winter
nights sometimes the worship
pers could recognize the huge
presidential footprints in the
snow as they emerged from the
building a few minutes later.
Question: MY granddaugh-
ter, who watched the televi-
sion version Of Solomon and
Sheba, said the film indicated
that the Queen of Sheba bore
a child whose father was King
Solomon. I cannot find any
reference to this in the Bible.
Can you explain it?"
Answer: The visit of the
Queen of Sheba to Solomon is
described in I Kings 10:1-l3.
The name of this queen is not
mentioned In the Bible. Her
small rich kingdom seems to
have been in Southern Arabia.
1t is a legend of the
Ethiopians that the royal Alb
yssinian line comes from son
who was born to King Solomon
and the Queen Of Sheba. This
has not been substantiated by
any historic records.

This is the result of an Indian
philosophy of art, specifically
that of Nrinalina Sarabhai. Mrs.
Sarabhai, young, attractive, the
wife of India's top space Scien-
fist and the mother of two chill
dren whose ages are 10 and IA,
simply sees art this way. Incl
dentally, she sees it from many
creative perspectives, those Of
midas leading woman dancer,
who is also a stage director, ac-
tresS, and a writer.
She can see no reason, she
told this corner, why she should
make superficial, imitation In

tors she has directed in the pro-
gram for the Institute for Ad-
vanced Studies in the Theatrical
Arts.

simply, that they would have
to become Indians from the in
side" To this purpose, she
reminded them that man was
universal in his experience and,
so far as even his more nervous
thinking goes, t i'm e e S S. She
taught them to feel something
Of repoSe and serenity, a mu-
tually fascinating and reward
ing experience. And, most en-
joyably of all, that feelings
begin internally and flow out
ward.
The general public will see
the results tonight in the first of
two performances here, also at

Police Seize
White House
Draft Pickets

Three men were arrested by
Park Police yesterday while
picketing on the East Executive
avenue side of the White House,
an area where picketing is pro-
hibited.
Arrested and charged with
disorderly conduct we're:
Richard E. Stern, 81, Of the
1000 block Of Third street NE;
William r. Martin. "a. Of the
$500 block Of Gather street
Sc; and Max Sandin, 70, of
the 100 block Of Park road NV.
Signs Protest Draft
Park Police Sergt. wilbert j.
Grishkot and Detective Julian
c. Vass said the men were car
rying signs protesting the draft.
One sign read End the Draft
in 49,"
The policemen said they first
approached the men in the
morning and told them 1t was
illegal to picket on East Execu-
tive avenue and that they
should move to the Pennsyl-
vania avenue side Of the White
House.
Claim Special Permit
The policemen said the men
replied that they had a letter
from the Secretary Of the In
terror granting them permis-
sion to picket on East Execu-
tive avenue. When the police
men asked to see the letter the
men said it was in the hands
of their attorney.
The policemen said they con-
suited the Corporation Coun-
sells office and then returned
to the picket site where they
found the men were distribut-
ing handbills to several thou
sand persons crowded on the
sidewalk waiting to be admitted
to the White House on tours.

James Meredith told Meet the Press"
television audience last Sunday that he had
learned an awful lot both In the class
room and perhaps more outside the class
room" during his stay at the University Of
Mississippi One thing he learned outside
the classroom was 1.-THE depth Of this prob
lem"
He gave this illustration: "You always
hear so much talk about the red necks'
or the poor whites being the real problem.
This is not the real problem. The real
problem is the power structure. The real
problem is the system of law and the legal
structure This and the political system,
this is the real problem in Mississippi"
On the other hand, the Mayor Of jack
son, Mississippi, would no doubt dispute
Mr.. Meredith's Identification Of the real
problem" From what the Mayor has said.
one may infer that to him the real prob
lem is the outside agitators." Without
them there would be no trouble in Jackson,
no organized protests by Negroes over dis
elimination, no demonstrations Of rebellion
against its continuation, no threats Of ugly
violence.
To some Of us the real problem may be
the red necks and the poor whites and the
depravity Of Tobacco Road. To others, like
James Meredith, the real problem Is the
existing pattern Of political and social
structures built UP over the years. To others,
like Jackson's Mayor, the real problem Is
outside agitators, or the NAACP, or the
bidding for Negro votes by the liberal poll
ticianS of the cities, or the Warren Court"
and its school decisionS--or any number Of
other prejudices that lend themselves so
readily to use as whipping boys in fixing
the blame for things we do not like. The
one certain thing is that all Of us are going
to have to learn an awful lot" before we
can plumb this problem and come up with
any satisfactory or workable solution.
There is no easy solution. But some
solution might be more attainable than 1t
now seems to be II there were more willing
ness to recognize "the real problem" for
what it is: How best to cope wisely with a
rapidly developing revolution. The current
outbreak Of mass demonstrations by Negroes
from Birmingham to Chicago, from Cam
bridge on the Eastern Shore to Los Angeles
on the Western Shores q manifestation
Of as genuine and justified a revolution as
any Of the revolutions of history, history
being largely an account Of sequence Of
revolutions.
To recognize and to accept the fact that
this revolution by American Negroes is
under way requires abandonment Of the
dangerous delusion that the current dem
onstrations are temporary annoyances,
worked UP by such people as Martin Luther
King, and that they will subside and &c
away If sternly dealt with by adequate force
That is not true In connection with this

They Should Say No!

Despite widespread opposition, the
District Board of Zoning Adjustment
has permitted the Soviet Union to sub
NIT revised plans for its proposed en-
baSsy-chancery on the Bonnie Brae
estate, 6036 Oregon avenue NV. Under
the new plans, the height of the COM
bination office building and residence
would be reduced by four feet and its
overall size by seven per cent.
This decision ignores the fact that
opposition to the embaSsy-c hancery has
nothing to do with the buildings height
or overall size. The opposition is based
entirely on the fact that chancery is
an office building and an office build
ing Of any size or type has no place In
a neighborhood zoned exclusively for
one-family detached homes. This was
made clear at the boards hearing on
the original plans, at which representa-
tives of the Chevy Chase and Hawthorn
Citizens Associations, the Federation of
Citizens Association, other civic groups,
and individuals not affiliated with any
organization, spoke their minds.
Since then, Senators Fulbright,
Morse, Beall and Saltonstall, and Dis
trict Commissioner Tobriner have pub
licly opposed establishment Of CHANGER
les in residential neighborhoodS. Senator
Morse denounced Pedro Sanjuan, State
Department director Of protocol services,
for putting the desires Of foreign gov
ernments ahead of the wishes Of District
citizens in the placement Of chanceries.
1t is difficult to believe that the
board, in the face Of such opposition,
would grant the coming variance. Ger
tainly it shouldn't.

1t has been 20 years since Franklin
D. Roosevelt hailed the beginning Of the
United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization as significant move to-
ward freedom from want. The imagi-
nation Of delegates to the Hot Springs
conference was stirred by visions Of
world free Of starvation and malnutri-
ton. But as a new World Food Congress
prepares to convene here, the sad fact
is that half of the worlds people, or
about 112 billion men, women and
children, still do not have enough to eat.
Most of us have difficulty compre-
bending that; in this hemisphere alone,
far more than one-half of Latin Amer
ica's 200 million people suffer from in
adequate diets. In the areas Of lowest
per capita food consumption, Asia and
the Far East, production fell off another
8 per cent in 1861. Thus the dream of
plenty for all has, if anything, faded in
the past two decades.
AS diScouraging as this Is, 1t would
be more so were it not for the determi-
nation to make better use Of resources
which have stimulated the Food for
Peace Program and the more recent
Freedom from Hunger Campaign. The
Washington conference will be on
"people-to-people" rather than a gov
ernmental level. 1t will diStill the ideas
of experts from many fields. For the
first time, it will have the grasS-rootS
advice and experience Of men from the
newly developing nations.
1t will be a meeting geared to all
levels, with speakers Of the caliber Of
A. J. Toynbee and X. Gunnar Myrdal,
exploring the broad horizons, and with
hundreds Of delegates studying every
practical means Of increasing food pro-
duction.
The Importance Of their work can
not be overestimated. BY the end Of the
century, barring natural or man-made
calamity, the world population will have
reached 6 billion persons. In the face
of this explosion, means must be found
to correct today's imbalance. The ironic
situation which finds this country mass
ing great SURPRISES, while people in many
lands barely exist, must yield to reason

Away With Them!

Senator Joseph s. Clark, Democrat
OF Pennsylvania, has not made name
for himself as a man Of excessively
moderate views. Consequently, we we're
not greatly surprised to read that he
thinks legislative bodies-city councils,
State legislatures and the Congress OF
the United States-are the arsenic in
our democracy's cup Of tea.
The Senator feels strongly on the
point. When we look upon these legis-
lative bodies, he said, I'VE react to what
we see with scarcely concealed con-
tempt"
Our first reaction was TO ask TO be
counted out OF this I'VE" II 1t included
us. For II sounds as though Senator
Clark might like to do away with legis-
lative bodies, and we are OF the old
school which likes 10 think they still
have a part 10 play in our inefficient
but durable system Of government. But
then disturbing second thought in
truded. How many Senator Clarks are
there in the councils, legislatures and
the Congress2 II there are very many,
we yield. Count us in on the vote for
adjustment.
