Burke, chief of naval operations, said Sunday the United States will never start an aggressive war, but "we will not be pushed around." U.S. strength rests basically on "mor al principles," he told a com mencement audience at Notre Dame university. These princi ples, coupled with economic and military strength, will be used against "any tyrant or groups of tyrants that threaten the cause of freedom in the world," he said. New York (U.PJ Brother David is on his way back to his beloved Piute Indians without funds for the house trailer he wanted to help him bring the word of God to them. He is not bitter. Quite the contrary, he is happy and hum ble. But the failure could have been galling to a man of weaker spirit. Tor it was In New York, be fore the first world war, that he got his start as a stage matinee idol, and from here he went to Hollywood to become a movie star in the days of Valentino and Nazimova. Silent Film Heartbreaker The man the Indians of three Nevada reservations know and love simply as Brother David, a Protestant Episcopal lay mis sioner, is Gareth Hughes, heart breaker of the silent film era. He is still handsome, at 62. With flowing white hair, he looks a bit saintly.

Poor health now has forced him to give up active In dian work for the church, but he plans to devote the rest of his life to them in a non-denominational capacity. Became Nervous The mileage between reserva tions is great. About the only way he can live while visiting the Indians is in a trailer which can be pulled by his old station wagon. He came to New York for a few days "to see the old place again and put the bite on somebody to get me a little 20 foot trailer so I can visit and help my friends. But a few days of pounding the pavements made him nervous "because I saw only white faces, and I realized I could not live away from the Indians." So he took off without a trailer. He had had some radio appear ances planned, to tell how he needed one, but he cancelled them, fearing they might not be in keeping with the religious nature of his work and the dig nity of his Indian friends '"Aey're our only aristocrats." With half of Hollywood sup porting Las Vegas in one part of Nevada, it might seem odd to some to find a former star liv ing with the Indians in another part. But Hughes says: "I wor shipped the Piutes from the start. I never saw so much beauty as in their old faces never such patience. I thought of the broken treaties, and I thought: 'Maybe I can show them one white per son who loves them.' " Lived in Indian Country He lived in Indian country for four years before going into a Massachusetts monastic order. He emerged as Brother David and was assigned to the three reservations. For the last eight years, as a lay missonary, he has preached, baptized, con ducted burials, run sewing guilds, distributed clothing, shared tragedy and happiness with the Piute people. From such signs as "Church tomorrow, 11 a.m. Bro. David," the Indian kids deduced his name was "Bro" and that affectionate name has stuck: "Bro. I need dress. . .Bro. Johnny don't have shoes. . . Bro, our child is ill; please pray ior mm. Brother David's past is com ing back in a queer way, now. Sometimes some Indians get to Reno and look at old silent films on television: "Bro, I see you on picture the other day. Good!" It was 1919 when Gareth Hughes left the New York stage for Hollywood to play opposite Clara Kimball Young in "The Eyes Of Youth." He can't return here without growing nostalgic about such things as dancing with Isadora Duncan in a Shake speare masque in 1917, drinking ale with Mrs. Fiske, taking Lily 13 i . -i I j I ' i CV - DEPENDABILITY?
