Keneipp, Director of< Vehicles and Traffic should be a particularly good author-! ity, He says : "It has been our experience that hard of hearing! drivers, because of their impairment, have proven them-j selves to be the safest drivers on the highway." I Thus it would seem that the driver with the hear-j ing aid takes especial pride in driving well, safely and; courteously. No doubt he is well aware that if he should i be involved in an accident it would reflect unfavorably on ! every deafened driver in the whole country. It has often been said that these people seem to be more acutely sensitive to vibrations and visual stimuli; but this is simply an adaptation, or rerouting of nervous; energy, that is forced upon them by their handicap. It: does not make them “ different.” In fact 85 percent o f ’ all insurance companies make no differentiation between j drivers who wear hearing aids 'and those with normal: hearing. Rev. Robert II.

RANGES BEST A-BOMB — More than 11,000 per­ sons Avho theoretically might otherwise have starved were fed substantial meals of beef stew, ham, beef, cake and coffee recently in a Chicago suburb, in the first mass­ feeding test conducted' in conjunction Artftth a simulated atomic air raid. The test used banks of huge commercial gas ranges, counterparts of those on which are cooked 95 per cent of the 65 million restaurant and hotel meals served throughout the nation daily. They were fueled by lique­ fied petroleum gas, the bottled gas that provides the cook, Avater-heating and comfort-heating needs of some 7 mil­ lion rural and suburban homes.

Here in the United Slates avc have the Federal American Activities Committee since the chairman of the Judiciary Committee is Manny Cellar, of NeAV York, Avho is one of the feAV men in Congress Avho has consist­ ently opposed the Un-American Activities Committee. Thus it appears that much of the “ pay dirt” ex­ posed in the recent Dayton Hearings may be quietly buried even though avg can assure our readers that the present committee has an abundance of information that | it would, like the opportunity to develop. Both Norton Russell, chief engineer of the Vernay Laboratories and Professor Robert Metcalf, art professor at Antioch Col­ lege, have been cited for Contempt of Congress, it is doubtful Avhether the other nine members of the Com­ munist conspiracy, implicated by Metcalf, Avill be made knoAVn at this time. In some kinds of sin it is true 1that they bring sorrow and woe Can i upon the guilty. But it is not true , in every Instance, as Job demon­ strated, that suffering is the re­ sult of sin. Suffering eon ofttim.es be inflicted upon men who are guiltless.

US Ambassador Charles Bohlen is returning t o : Washington for consultations and may be invited to testify on policy before Congress. 5. Senator William F.

In critisizing the Administration's acceptance o f! “ peaceful co-existence” — a la Russe — Senator KnoAV- _ land said there Avere several interpretations, and that “ It i doesn’t mean the kind of peaoefu) co-exfctenjce the 1 Thankegiving turkey has until the axe falls on his neck.” From where Ave sit, the turkey’s co-existence is a lot more peaceful . .

Murray are expected to ask the new Congress (which must make the laws for the Capital City) for a neAv act that promises effective control over j u v e n i l e delinquency for the first time in our history. Under the new law, a parent’s knowledge of his * child’s crime Avould be considered prima-facie evidence, j on which the parent could be convicted. This Avould go far beyond the ineffective charge of contributing to the fall in his trust toward God. Vet, sometimes as Paul found, great disasters may work out for a man’s good. AVe do not know the end from the beginning, and we are not always prepared to see that present ill-fortune may bring good to us in the future. In the 46th Psalm we find the Psalmist declaring that his refuge j was in God and that he would not ‘ tear amid all the changes of time and place. Ho hears the voice of ; the Lord say, "Be still and know that I am God,” and ho himself ; Avrites, "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge." Let us learn to look to God with great trust. * • * j THINGS TO COME —•A home knitting machine Bureau of Investigation, the Counter-Intelligence Corps' will turn out a sweater in two hours, or a dress in seven , , , , Kt-e: xr .. i __ u, -**>- .*>.

This road-block between the F.B.I. and the Judiciary permitted others to flourish even after their exposure. Such are Alger Hiss, Nathan G, Silvermaster, Victor Porlo, Harry Magdoff, Harold Glasser, Frank Coe, Ed* ward Fitzgerald, Maurice Halperin, William W. Rem- mington to name but a few.
