100 Years AGO

White House news leaks"
as we know them, were not
sprung on the public during
Abraham Lincoln's admins
tration in the same manner
as they are today, but the
Civil War President had his
own subtle technique. When
Lincoln wanted to get some
thing across to the people
without making a speech, he
would pen a letter to an in
dividual of some Importance,
expounding on the issue of
the moment, and trust it
would find its way into print
and thus catch the Nations
eye. At this time a century
ago President Lincoln was in
vited to address a meeting Of
unconditional Union" men
in Springfield, ILL.,, but he de-
clined on the ground that he
could rot absent himself
from Washington. His letter
of regret, addressed to the
Honorable James c. Conk-
ling" appeared In The Star
OF September 3, 1853. In 1t
he answered the objections of
those who opposed emancipa-
ton of slaves, yet favored
prosecution of the war for the
Union. He also gave some
thing OF a progress report on
the war. The President wrote:
". I do not believe any
compromise embracing the
maintenance Of the Union is
now possible. The strength
Of the rebellion is It's mill
tary-its army. That army
dominates all the country and
all the people within its
range. Any offer OF terms
made by any man or men
within that range, in opposi-
ton to that army, is simply
nothing for the present, be-
cause such man or men have
no power whatever to enforce
their side of the compromise,
II one were made with them.

to disaster as it is certain
that an ancient pillow or a
modern tractor would be
buried in the depths of the
sea.

ages with the wisdom Of the

uuent trouble with our day
is that there are too many
social engineers endeavoring
to bring in the kingdom Of
human betterment by dealing
mostly in blue prints rather
than in white lives. They
stress changing maps rather
than changing men. Social
ism of various brands, often
sincere enough in it's attempt
to lessen exploitation and to
bring more of the good things
of life to more people, is still
dealing with unchecked self
ishneSs which will wreck the
best laid plans of mice or
men.
Then, we must not forget
that you cannot build a
wholesome and stable COM
monwealth by degrading the
home whose sanctity is the
hope Of the future. You can
no more do that than you
you can use a pillow on the
sea. What avails anything
prominent men in State or
national posts Of public serv-
ice may advocate regarding
our society in general If, in
their personal lives they strike
selfish blows at the founda-
ton Of the home, the insti-
tuition Of marriage, the
fountain-head Of all in our
common life which is high
and holy. In the words of a
well known columnist, who
sees the truth in the ancient
words Of Amos, Such men
reveal disabilities of be-
havior which scholars have
found to be historically char
acteriStic of advanced soci-
cites on their way down."
Who can doubt that If
amid noisy debates Of our
day we gave Amos the floor
and babe him speak, he would
say: Where are your new men
to make your proposed new
order work? Do men pillow
the sea with oxen? And that
seer would gladly accept a
modern verse as part Of his
prophecy for the goth GEN.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Flowing the Sea
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

AS the end Of the vacation
season hoves in regretful
sight, cars often bumper to
bumper, are headed toward
the sea. For jaded spirits and
tired bodies what a resistless
magnet is the ocean. How
one long landlocked yearns
for the sight Of it, the smell
of it, the elixir Of it! There
is magic in the sea as we
hear its mighty waters rolling
evermore.
But there are some things
that simply cannot happen
on the surface Of the sea.
One sees cars heading for the
open water laden with boats,
but never a car seward
bound with a pillow or a trac-
tor. The prophet Of old,
Amos, fearless social reform
err, coined q haunting phrase
to suggest the ultimate in
futility. He was speaking to
farmers as he said: LAS you
gaze at the numberless acres
OF the ocean, there is one
thing that is not within the
bounds of possibility. You
cannot pillow the sea with
oxen"
Now the discoveries Of
science have made our mod
ern world, in many ways, the
sort of world that Alice was
looking at in her wonderland.
AS the little laSsie was pur-
suing a white rabbit it was
said in that topsy-turvy book:
you see so many out-of-
the-way things had happened
to her that Alice had begun
to think that very few things
indeed were really impossi-
ble." But, even in our mod
ern, scientific wonderland
there is nothing our bewil-
dered day needs to be told
more sternly and solemnly
than that we are living in a
universe where certain prop
ositions automatically are
vetoed. AS Gilbert Chesterton
whimsically put it: when
you decide to draw a giraffe
you must draw him with a
long neck. If, in your bold,
creative way, you hold your
self free to draw a giraffe
with a short neck, you will
simply find that you are not
free to draw a giraffe"
In our passion to save our
democratic way, one of the
fallacies is that we are at
tempting to do some things
that cannot be done. We glory
in our democratic freedom!
But, one Of the fundamental
tenets of freedom (if it is to
be kept is that there are
some things one is not free to
do without colliding with the
universe. That was what
Amos, the fearless preacher
Of long, long ago, was sensing
as he lifted up a truth for his
own day and for all days.
The prophet had diagnosed
the ills Of an ailing social
order shot through with
CrlcKery, bribery, exploitation
and injustice.
1t was a day so much like
ours that we would not be
surprised to find it dated
1868! The leaders back there
were endeavoring to do some
things that cannot be done.
Listen to Amos as he said:
you cannot cultivate the
boundleSs acres of heaving
water with a plow." And, for
today he would Of course
add, with a tractor" He was
declaring that any attempt
to build a stable nation, when
the individual citizens of the
nation are selfishly feathering
their own nests through in
justice and dishonesty, and
with methods that degrade
the dignity of the individual,
is like trying to pillow the

Fuirfox Judge Refuses
To Halt Sale of 4 Books

Fairfax Circuit Court Judge
Albert v. Bryan. jr., refused
yesterday to order a halt to the
sale of four allegedly obscene
books circulated by the county
library.
The Judge ruled on a suit by
Fairfax Attorney Paul Peachey.
Mr.. Peachey sought the in
junction last Friday after he
saw quotes from the four books
given to the Board of County
Supervisors by a citizen, Mrs.
Margaret Plattner.
Judge Bryan said he wa S
powerless to act, since Virginia
law excludes public libraries
prohibiting the distribution of
obscene books. The four books
that Mr.. Peachey objects to
were obtained from county IL
brary shelves.
Unable to Buy
A small group of county citi-
zens supporting his suit were
unable to buy the books at
stores In the county yesterday.
They had sought the books to
overcome the judges ruling
that he could act only If it
could be shown that the books
were available in Fairfax out
side the Libraries.
Mr.. Peachey's suit named as
defendants the authors of the
four books. They are Bucklin
Moon, who wrote without
Magnolias;;" Storm Jameson,
author of "A Month Soon
Goes" Margaret Halsey, for
Color Blind" and A. B. Guth-
rie, jr., who wrote THE Big
Sky"
All four plots deal with love
affairs between people of diff
ferent races.
Looks to Pressure
Mr.. Peachey said yesterday
that he had understood that
the court could not rule on
books in the county library,
however. he had hoped for the
temporary sales ban, pending
a court order for the authors
to show why the books should
not be labeled obscene.
He said that he thought

UItimutum on
Plant Dutu

ANNAPOLIS, May 81 (AP) Z.
The Maryland Water Pollu-
ton Control Com mission
threatened yesterday to revoke
a permit for the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co.'S plant at Chalk
Point unless the firm provides
engineering data requested by
the State.
The commission had written
to the company six weeks ago
requesting further information
on plans for intake and dis
charge Of water at the $108
million facility on the Patuxent
River above Benedict.
THE failure Of the company
to supply the requested infor-
nation constitutes a disregard
for the wishes of the commits
sion and a violation of a spe-
cific condition subject to which
approval was granted" chair
man Maurice Siegel said in a
latter to PEPCO Vice President
L. w. Cadwallader.
He asked that the informa-
ton be supplied prior to the
commissions next regular
meeting, June 10, and also that
the company have a represent
ative at the meeting to an
Swer questions.
"Mr. Siegel's letter followed
a meeting of the commission"

sources Institute which will

sion that would have retailed,
used, for about 1888. The de-
fendant said he wanted the
transmission for racing.
Trooper Ansell said the
transmission was stripped from
a car last october. Judge Ralph
w. Powers asked for presen-
fencing reports on the three
men. and denied them bond
during the investigation.
In addition to Thomas, the
State still has to prosecute
Lloyd Roy Moore, "a, of the
$500 block of Addison road NE,
charged with having a car with
the serial number rubbed out.
Moore was convicted in Upper
Marlboro Peoples Court and
sentenced on April 30 to three
months in the House of Cor
rections, but he has appealed.
Thomas brothe r-in-law,
Thomas Brown, 30, of Cedar
Heights, earlier was convicted
in Calvert County Circuit Court
of receiving stolen tires. and
sentenced to three years in the
House of Corrections, Trooper
Ansell said.
He said Frank c. Yingling,
%, of Waldorf, is awaiting trial
in Charles County Circuit Court
on a charge of receiving a
stolent transmission. The VIC
timized cars were late-model
Chevrolets parked in the Hy-
attSville-Seat Pleasant area,

SbO,OOO, according to Maryland
State Trooper Don E. Ansell.
Thefts were made to fill
orders placed by bargain hunt
ers or to maintain an on-hand
stock of parts most in demand,
Trooper Ansell said.
After three months of in
tensive investigation, Trooper
Ansell said he rounded up the
seven and traced the brains of
the operation to Alfred Sher-
man Thomas, %, alias Johnny
Flute. of the 900 block Of
County road, District Heights,
"If any of the others had a
problem about stripping a car,
they'd go to Johnny Flute for
advice" Trooper Ansell said
later.
Flute could teach the boys
to strip a transmission in 10
minutes and a whole motor in
20 in broad daylight-the
fastest strip in the East" said
Assistant States Attorney Vim
cent j. Femia.
ParOIed Last Year
Thomas earlier admitted to
four counts of unauthorized
use of automobiles, but his
sentencing was delayed while
he appeared as a states wit
ness in other cases.
Shortly after serving a 90
day sentence in 1859 for steal
ing a lawnmower, Thomas was
given a SiX-year term in the
Federal Penitentiary in Peters
burg, Va. for car theft, Mr..
Femia said. He was paroled
last year.
In proceedings yesterday.
Oliver James Tolson, %, of the
700 block of Hilltop Terrace,
Sc. pleaded guilty to unau-
thorized use of a car, and
Alvin Ulysses Tresvant. 20, of
the 200 block of Fifty-seventh
street NE, pleaded guilty to
larceny.
Milton Nose" Ellerbe, 81, of
