Pledger, Holly Heights Chapel. Foreign Air Bases Are Handy e . Despite Air Force Statement BY PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Air Force officials would like to suck back some of the more extrava gant claims that foreign air bases are no longer necessary. Over-enthusiastic generals made these statements following the flight of the B-50 Lucky Lady 11, around the world non-stop. In saying that a plane based in the U. S. can now drop a bomb any place in ghe world and return home, what the mean is somgthing like this: They bomber could take off fully loaded, accom= wd; by a tanker plane. Two thousand miles after off, the bomber could be refueled by the tanker, which would then return to base. The bomber would complete tis mission, drop its bomb and start back for home. Two thousand miles out it would be met by another tanker plane and re fueled,again for the last lap. This would have the effect of giving the bomber an extra 4,000 miles of ﬂight.' . . - But if the tanker and bomber failed to make their rendezvous for refueling, it would be just too bad. A foreign base then would be might conven ient. CLOSE ENOUGH FOR LEWIS :When United Mine Workers’ boss John L. Lewis received the Swedish labor leaders’ delegation brought to the U. S. by the Economic Co-operation Administration, news photographers tried to get them together for a group picture. “Will you pease move in a little closer?” asked the cameraman lin ing up the picture. Growled Lewis: “Men don’t get close to each other.” And he wouldn’t budge. * * * % Incdentally, Lewis and Dr. James Boyd, who was opposed by Lewis for Senate confirmation as direc tgr of the Bureau of Mines, are believed to have met only once. That was in a Senate committee hearing room when they were introduced. Lewis simply de cided to oppose Boyd as soon as he was picked for the job by Interior Secretary J. A. Krug. Lewis has made no effort since then to meet Boyd and see if their differences of opinion—real or imaginary— could be worked out. Still Lewis cla’ims he has nothing against Boyd, personally. i % L %® " Major-General Albert M. Jones, recently return ed to Washington from his post as head of an Am erican military advisory commission to the Philip pines, has denied cabled reports from Manila that he recommended abolition of the Philippine army. General Jones was reported to have made this rec emmendation at a super-secret meeting held in the oifice of Filipino President Quirino. General Jones said he was under oath not to reveal what went on at this meeting, but he said no U. S. military man would think of recommending abolition of the Phil ippine army. & ROBERTS' PUNCTUALITY BACKFIRES . When former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts and former Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson announced formation of their new Atlan dic Union Committee for a Federal Convention of pemocracies, their meeting was interrupted almost @s soon as it got started. Justice Roberts explained ghat Mr. Patterson had to appear as attorney for a client in federal court. “The trouble is,” said Mr. ﬁ’atterson. “that when Justice Roberts was on the SBupreme Court, he made all the courts so punctual :that I have to be on time to earn my bread and butter.” : . .'g ® ® & . Most optimistic view of the new North Atlantic “Pact is that it will delay war in Europe by five éEyears, if not longer. Most pessimistic view—held in :*varying degrees jand for different reasons by men «like John Foster Dulles, James P.

But there are instances where special interest at tends the bedside of certain people whose friendship and popularity covers a wide circle of friends. Such is the case of Coach Frank Thomas, who is lying critically ill in a Birmingham hospital from the effects of a rather extended illness and a recent se vere heart attack. : For quite a number of years he was one of our most popular and most effective football coaches here at the University of Georgia. Then his career as coach at the University of Alabama has been phenomenal. It is doubtful whether there is any coach in the country who has more friends. He is only fifty years of age and normally there should be years of usefulness ahead of him. There is an additional tie that binds him to Ath ens. He married Frances Rowe, daughter of the late Hugh J. Rowe, and they have a charming and devoted family as well as hundreds of close friends in this city. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery, Tommie, and many more years cf a happy life. Rent Control Approved After much wrangling and discussion, the House and Senate have agreed on rent control extension. President Truman will not get all he asked for and the final settiement was reached only a short while before the present rent control law expires. It is believed by some that by the expiration of the new law fifteen months hence the rent situa tion will have adjusted itself to a point where rent controls can be abolished. The main issue involved in the long debate has been that of giving some protection to landlords as well as taking care of the interests of renters. Land lords will be given assurance that they will get a fair return on their investments. It is believed by some that the settlement of the rent control business will be a more or less satis factory boost to the erection of new residences and the housing shortage will be sharply removed in the next year or two. The question of meeting the housing demands is not one to be easily solved, byt it is believed that settling the rent control question will have the effect of speeding up the movement to increase housing facilities. Builders and renters will now understand what can be expected. Tribute so Carl Vinson Carl Vinson, veteran dean of the Georgia con gressional delegation in the federal House of Rep resentatives, richly merits the tribute just paid him by Newsweek in placing his picture on the front page of that magazine and publishing a review of his outstanding work. « Newsweek very properly says that Vinson is re garded as being the father of the modern American Navy. He has been at the head of the powerful Navy Committee for fifteen years and by his di rection of the improvements made in the naval de velopment has' made the American Navy very largely what it is today. Newsweek says that Vinson is responsible more than anyone else for making the United States Navy the largest and most powerful in the world. He has stood in his place and fought for every measure looking to the increase and betterment of that arm of the service. He is popular both in Republican and Democratic circles on account of his acknowledged ability and the conviction of all political parties that he knows more about the Navy and its needs than any other living man. p And it may be pointed out that his interest in keeping America strong is not confined to the im provement of the Navy. He believes in the unified services of army, navy and air fleet. President Truman wanted the new air fieet to consist of {oriy eight combat divisions. Vinson disagreed with him and advocated an air fleet of seventy combat divis ions. Vinson won out and the air fleet will be sev enty combat divisions. We are dealing with a dynamic and fanatical ideology in which Communists believe with a fer vor that is almost religious. If we are to prevail, we must match their frenzy with an even deeper devo tion to the faith we hold.—Anthony Eden, deputy leader of the British Conservative Party. I've been in business 25 years, and I wouldn’t hire, one of you (Republican leaders) as a sales man, If I wanted a sales manager, I'd hire Harry Truman—the best salesman in the world.—Senator Homer Capehart (R) of Indiana. Our great need is to dispel the notion, expressed by too many, that another depression is more to be feared than another war. . . . It doesn’'t matter how many dollars you have in your pocket if you are trying to protect your family from an atomic bomb. —Senator Estes Kefauver (D) of Tennessee. We should be remiss in our duties (at Columbia University), if, while our students are learning to become doctors, teachers, engineers, lawyers and the like, we did not see to it that they also learn to become active, responsible citizens of democracy in the most practical meaning of the term.—Geperal Dwight D.

S men, |Sl| AN THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA Briton Tackles Frau Role BY GEORGE BOULTWOOD AP Newsfeatures KIEL, Germany. — A British ‘woman who married a German has found living conditions here “far, far worse,” than she imag ined. She is determined to remain, living as a German, virtually cut off from contact with her fellow countrymen in the occupation forces, She is Frau Sybil Lorenz, aged 35, born in Londonderry, northern Ireland, formerly the wife of a major in the British army. Mrs. Lorenz met her 23-year-old German husband when he was a prisoner of war in Berkshire, Engiand, and now lives in one and a half rooms in the tiny house of her German in-laws near Kiel, where she joined her husband three months ago, ' Here are her impressions of this new life as she wrote them for the official “British Zone Review.” “Friends and family opposed my plan to come here and live as a German. This I can understand. My beloved father and cousin were killed in war with Germany.i “But on the other hand I was expecting to be welcomed by a German mother-in-law whose only daughter had been killed in a British air raid on Kiel two weeks before the war ended. “I was relinquishing my nation ality to be without status or any of the privileges granted to Brit ish people here, and I wondered what our future life in Kiel would hold. “Now I know. “I know that conditions are far, far worse than I ever imagined, but I know, too, that we intend to remain here. “Kiel is a broken, bomb-torn city whose people are slowly be coming aware that they are once more human beings. They have long been too undernourished to give serious thoughts either to a past or political future. They are glad to be left alone to build up their shattered lives. “And they are left alone. “Personal Anglo-German rela tionship does not really exist. “British personnel here are not helped by the anti-German opin ion so freely sponsored in our (British) daily papers. The two countries are too closely related by blood to treat each other with tolerant good humor; it still re mains a rather serious and diis- 2’“' ¢ \A“ s "\*,‘: N . . -:.:::53’-.:.-., " EF TN i o RR s B g € Al bL GV R e m £ S 8 Z SRR G (3 LAR e SETER G ey & i R 3, = ie A e e o % 5y O g Mavi e e B Sy , g L 5 & l e A oo o 3E SRR W S / eW S R O e et oI f R S T B :ii:;3 ;«"’ BN . 4 G R B ie R Ts B Shemmree T BT R R S SRR R LR LR R s es B g QAR W R GEE e e ¢ Bl e e e¥ BB AW SO ) e B RS s s &a 8 ! / R e : BEE oTS e B 3 \é’ ¢ ARk T N e B > e A Se s e e ' AR } k% T eRy i e S e s > B i RN e T R e R R < 5 % R N 2 AT Rt ' B R i B S Re e A G AR .

We have at the most two meat meals a month, no bacon whatsoever; the fat ration is far too small; fish is poor; eggs are unobtainable. Bar ley, macaroni, bread and potatoes ® THE DIVIDENDS OF SUFFERING Sunday School Lesson RY ROY L. SMITH As far back as we are able to trace the thinking of men we find serious souls asking an extremely difficult question: “Why do men suffer?” s One of the major tasks of mod ern science is that of reducing the amount of suffering in the world. It is for that purpose that we have perfected labor saving de vices, improved our healing sci ence techniques, and developed whole systems like psychiatry and public sanitation. The Sunday Schoel lesson for April 3: “Turning toward the Cross,” Mark 8:27-9:1, Luke 9:28-36, 51. And yet suffering continues among us. It is almost as if with each new scientific discovery or invention we develop new dis eases as accompaniments. The pressure of modern life has result ed in an entire catalog of nervous and mental ailments alone. The Fact of Suffering It is a part of the genius of Christianity that it looks the fact of suffering squarely in the face. It does not attempt to under estimate it, evade it, laugh it out of court, or deny its reality. It acknowledges it for what it really is—a part of life. This week’s lesson is a study in the attitude Jesus himself took toward suffering. The scripture makes it very plain that he fore saw the terrible experience that was awaiting him. He warned his diciples so precisely and so vividly that they found it hard to believe him. At times it sounds as if he were actually trying to convince himself that death by crucifixion awaited him. ~ The test of Jesus’ philsophy and faith began when he faced ‘the prospect of suffering. The *Standard on ROADMASTER modeis, optional at extra cost on SUPERS. Available only on Buicks. are the staple diet and with the exception of potatoes all, of course, are rationed. “This diet of starch is highly unsuitable for a small child, but at present she is healthy in con trast to many of the small people one sees here with facial expres sions beyond their years. shouting crowds, the applause of the multitudes, the assurances of his friends, his awareness of his own unique nature—none of these things were sufficient to blind him to the terribie fact that he was to suffer and to die. Going Out to Meet It One has the feeling as one reads this week’s scripture that Jesus went out deliberately and deter minedly to meet suffering. It is not easy to escape the feeling that he must have faced again the temptation he met on the earlier mountain, when the tempter urg ed him to save himself by turning stones into bread. In this case a miracle performed o his own be half might have made it possible for him to by-pass the cross. But to have taken some easy way would have been to fail man. The plain person among us has no magic by which he can evade suffering, and because Jesus shared our humanity in all its phases he walked directly up to suffering and dared it to do its worst. He Was Fortified Jesus of Nazareth seems to have lived at all times confident that he was under the watchful care and Eye of God. He refused to believe anything could happen to him which would be more than 'God could handle. It was his faith in his heavenly father that ‘, carried him through the experi ence of the cross. ~ In the first place, he refused to e | ® WITH THIS ASPIRIN | W‘MBLET MADE JUST FOR YOUR CHILD...

In the second place, he refused to believe that anything could alienate the love of God. He had no fear of ever drifting “beyond his love and care.” Nothing in the scripture indi cates that he attempted to reason the situation out. He did not de pend upon logic. Instead, he “faithed his way through.” e This Sunday School Leésson is sponsored by the Athens Ban ner-Herald, The International Council of Religious Education, and ‘the Athens Ministerial As sociation. Dr. Roy Smith is the brilliant editor of a Methodist national paper and the opinions herein expressed are his own. We hope these lessons may be a real service to the community. The Way Faith Works Faith as Jesus employed it, was not a blind and fatalistic ac ceptance of life as something that could not be escaped. Instead, it meant a calm acceptance of the inevitables of life as though they were some good thing from the hand of God which contained priceless benefit if they could be rightly used.
