Constitution Puts
“Kiss of Death ” on
han Alien* Jr.
This (Wednesday) morning the Atlanta
Constitution came out in an editorial spon
soring the candidacy of Ivan Allen, Jr., for
the Mayor of Atlanta in next Wednesday’s
election. The editorial was well written and
probably true in every detail and we do
not wish to dispute same.
The Constitution editorial stated, in their
opinion, Ivan Allen, Jr., was the candidate
best suited to be elected Mayor of Atlanta.
This may or may not be true. Personally, we
have known Ivan Allen, Jr., for a number
of years and have the highest respect for
him as to integrity and ability.
The one point we question is, is he
enough of a politician to be elected Mayor
of Atlanta? Politics is a profession as many
fine business men have learned to their
sorrow and have found out it is not enough
to be a fine business man, the sole of in
tegrity, to be elected to any political office.
The office of Mayor of Atlanta is not
run purely on a business basis. A man must
he a politician to be able to run the city
of Atlanta as its Mayor successfully. Busi
ness ability is fine. Integrity is much to be
desired and commendable beyond compar
ison but with these fine attributes must
be mixed the ability of a politician.
We predict a politician will be elected
May or Atlanta and, in our opinion, this
will probably be between two very fine
politicians who have been in politics in
Atlanta and Fulton County for many years.
"We refer to either Charlie Brown or Muggsy
Smith. As we see it the race is between
these two fine politicians.
We believe The Atlanta Constitution
made a mistake in coming out for Ivan
Allen, Jr., for it will harin'him more than
it will help. There is just somehting in
herent in a man which abhors anyone try
ing to tell him how to vote, especially if
that someone is an “outsider” as many
class the owners of The Atlanta News
pr/pers, Inc.
We know and admire the editors and
managers of The Atlanta Newspapers, Inc.,
better known as The Atlanta Journal and
The Atlanta Constitution. Practically all
of them are native Georgians and well
qualified newspapermen but the stigma of
“outside” ownership will ever prevail and
instinctively the voters acknowledge this
when they read these two newspapers.
Ivan Allen, Jr., may be the best quali
fied man in the race for Mayor .of Atlanta.
We will not dispute this with anyone but
we do not disqualify the other candidates
in the race. They also have many fine
qualifications but qualification alone is not
enough to elect a man to a political job
such as being Mayor of Atlanta.
We predict a politician will be elected
Mayor of Atlanta.
Small Colleges Best
For Youth Os Nation
Professional Chislers
Students who for one reason or another
cannot attend the big, famous and often
distant universities should not overlook
the values and opportunities to be found
in the small colleges which dot our land.
In many respects the small are equal to
the big.
In a study of scientific manpower a
while back. Dr. John R. Steelman found
that in the same period Hope College, Ju
niata College, Monmouth College, St. Olaf’s
College and Oberlin College combined pro
duced more candidates for the doctor's de
gree in chemistry than did Johns Hopkins,
Fordham, Columbia, Tulane and Syracuse
all together.
Prof. William S. Haldeman, a real-life
“Mr. Chips”, was responsible for inspiring
a fourth of all students who majored in
chemistry under him in his 34 years at
Monmouth College in Illinois to obtain ad
vanced degrees. If they needed money to
do so, he often loaned it to them from his
own pocket.
One of his graduates had an important
role in the commercial production of peni
cillin. Other's have helped in atomic re
search and many are in key positions in
the chemical industry. Still others are fol
lowing in his footsteps as teachers and ‘
helping to train more scientists.
Professor Haldeman has moved on to '
a well-earned retirement in San Diego, 1
California, but Monmouth and other small :
colleges continue to have such inspiring and
devoted teachers on their faculties and
they are among America's greatest assets.

May Boomerang Against
America In The Future
While our great minds in Washington
were occupied in writing a note to the
Kremlin expressing our annoyance at the
closing of the border between East and
West Berlin, the Soviets — represented by
the Castro henchman, Ernesto “Che" Gue
vara — marched on to victory at Punta
Del Este, Uruguay.
More specifically, while the Berlin note
was in transit, the US, confronted by the
spectre of World War 111, committed itself
by the signature of Treasury Secretary
Douglas Dillon to the Charter of Punta del
Este to a S2O billion aid program in South
America. This is probably an even greater
assist to the Communist cause than even
Uncle Joe Stalin ever dreamed of in his
announced strategy of permitting the US to
spend itself to death. And even more iron
ic — if it is true — is the report that it was
thorn in our side, Fidel Castro, himself, who
first suggested that the US should provide
this inconceivable sum for the aid of Latin
America.
Os the 21 nations represented at the con
ference which has presumably set in mo
tion that “Alliance for Progress”, all signed
but Cuba, which as Mr. Dillon said, could
n’t have any of the pie anyway so long as
it “remains under the control of a foreign
power - namely, the Soviet Union”.
When Secretary Dillon signed, accord
ing to press reports, he was “warmly ap
plauded”.
Never in the history of the world, we
fear, was applause so dearly bought.

Its Doctrines Follow
Those Os Lenin and Stalin
On January 30, 1949, Representative
John F. Kennedy delivered at Salem. Mass.,
a blistering denunciation of the errors in
judgment and policy that had, in effect,
aided the establishment of Red China and
all but destroyed Nationalist China. As re
ported by Human Events, Mr. Kennedy
chided those who called Chinese Commun
ism agrarian reform and denied the leader
ship of Moscow by quoting from the Bolton
Report:
“Its doctrines follow those of Lenin and
Stalin. Its leaders are Moscow-trained . . .
Its policies and actions, its strategy and
tactics are Communist. The Chinese Com
munists have borrowed faithfully every
zigzag of the Kremlin's line for a genera
tion.”
We can earnestly hope that, as uncertain
ty grows over the US attitude toward ad
mitting Red China to the UN and recog
nizing Outer Mongolia, that President Ken
nedy will now remember what Congress
man Kennedy said a dozen years ago.

Advertising Helps Move
Goods Off Those Shelves
"This is the wrong time of the year.
I don't have a thing to advertise this
month," stated a local merchant not
long ago.
Many times a merchant cannot think
of anything to advertise. The woman with
a closet full of clothes claims, “I haven’t
a thing to wear.” and then wears less on
the street than her grandmother did in bed.
It is a natural and easy matter for a mer
chant to think he has nothing to advertise
when he has a store full of merchandise.
Many times it involves factors over which
he has no control.
When the thoughtless expression is
made, “I have nothing to advertise.” the
merchant is virtually saying, “I have noth
ing to sell.” In this case he should lock up
and go fishing. The truth is he has a lack
of information and the proper understand
ing of his customers.
Customers are buying something every
day. Every store and every article of mer
chandise has a selling pattern. Certain
dresses sell better in February. A certain
percentage of the gross business is done in
the same month each year. Any merchant
who understands these selling and buying
patterns has something to advertise every
time the newspaper is printed.
The above is called planned advertising.
Briefly the idea is to advertise a certain
piece of merchandise when it hits the sell
ing peak. This increases sales at the high
mark-up and the extra business obtained
when the selling resistance is the lowest
brings in the higher profit. Advertising is
। selling. It increases sales when people want
to buy.
Advertising distress merchandise to turn
i “cats & dogs” into cash, is all right, but
' the main purpose of newspaper advertis
• ing is to bring in the most profit per sale.
With that in mind there is neve- a day
when a store doesn't have sometning to
advertise.

Aquila and Priscilla: Risking
All for Christ.
We meet with Aquila and
Priscilla, a husband-ar.d-wife
team, in Acts 18, Romans 16:3-
sa, 1 Corinthians 16:19, and 2
Timothy 4:19. Our lesson deals’
with these first two passages i
only. We meet with them in
various places. They lived ori
ginally in Rome, then in Corin
th, subsequently in Ephesus,
then again in Rome, at which
time they were full-fledged
missionaries.
We are told enough to know
that they were important and
able personages in the New
Testament church, but beyond
that we know nothing of them,
despite our great familiarity
with their names.
The Greek text tells us a lit
tle. Priscilla is so referred to,
by her full name, in Luke’s re
cord in Acts. Paul, however,
used the affectionate shorter
form, Prisca, indicating his
closeness to them. Again, Pri
scilla’s name is usually given
first, in reversal of the custo- '
mary procedure. In terms of so- :
cial customs of the day, this i
could be done if the wife were
of markedly higher social po
sition, but this consideration
would hardly have carried
weight w'th Luke or Paul. It
seems to indicate that, although '
j both were active and zealous in I
Christian service, Pricilla was
the more capable and intelli
gent of the two, and hence nam
ed first in terms of service.
There is every reason to be
lieve, as the epistles of Paul j
very plainly indicate, th at, I
. while Paul opposed church of
fices for women, he used their
’ services readily and freely in
many ways, and women play
j ed as important a role in chur
ches under Paul as they ever
have in all history; yet without
detracting from the authority
' of men. Os this, Pricilla was
clearly an example. And there
was no fretting by Priscilla over
the role God had assigned her,
but rather a ready service
therein.
Paul left Athens, “departed,”
we are told, and went to Cor
inth. The word “departed” in
the original is passive and is
indicative of reluctance. Paul
had reason to be reluctant
about going to Corinth. A pro
minent manufacturing center,
Corinth was also a by-word for
corruption and immorality, ft
was a difficult place for a mis
sionary. It had the reputation
of being rich, proud, and con
temptuous.
Corinth, however, for all the
very real difficulties it came to
Paul, proved also an unexpect
ed blessing in bringing him to
two new friends, Aquila and
Priscilla. Aquila was by birth a
Pontian, Pontus being one of
the northern provinces of Asia
" Minor. He had become a resi
-1 dent of Rome. The Jews had
been banned from Rome shortly
1 before this by Claudius because
• of the disturbances among
• them, according to Suetonius,
* under the influence of “Chres
tus.” No Chrestus is mentioned
t by Roman historians, or any
such compelling influence
. among the Jews there, and it
, is assumed by many scholars
that the correct reference is to
Christus. It would then mean
’ that the Jews of Rome were in
: a turmoil either with reference
to messianic doctrine generally
or in arguments and conflicts
r over the messiahship of Jesus.
They have confused the name
i Christus (Christ) and Chres
-1 tus (a good man).
t Since Paul hoped eventually
to preach in Rome, the meet
' ing was especially welcome. We
; are not told whether Aquila
and Priscilla were Christians
already, but almost at once
Paul moved in with them and
1 worked with them. Like him.
they were tentmakers by trade,
i Tents in those days were of lea
ther; this means Paul, Aquila
and Priscilla were leather -
; : workers generally, usually call
ed tent-makers because this was
their principal product. Paul I
supported himself in Corinth by I
his tentmaking and found this j
easier to do by his association !
with a capable businessman in ’
that field.
Paul remained in Counth “al
1 I year and sir months teaching >
j the word of God among them’’ I
i(v. II). This extended stay in
the home of Aquila and Priscil
la is indicative of the strong
personal tie that developed.
' Paul was not only their guest
' and pastor for these eighteen
■ months, but their co-worker in
I business. It is an impossibility
not to become very fully aware
of one another’s character in so
close a fellowship.
This close fellowship wit
nesses to the character of all
three. Pau) was clearly a warm
hearted and lovable man to be
invited so readily into a home
and to be loved after this long
stay.
Moreover, since Aquila and
Priscilla had been compelled to
leave their home in Rome and
go to Corinth, this undoubtedly
meant that their personal life
was in some confusion and dis
tress. For them to invite into
their home so readily witnesses
to their earnest faith and to
their joy in ministering to the
Lord’s apostle.
The work in Corinth led to
persecution by the Jews. Gal
lio, the Roman proconsul, re
fused, however, to support the
Jews in their hostility to Paul
and turned on them instead.
Shortly thereafter, Paul left
Corinth and sailed for Syria,
and Pr'«cilla and Aouila went
with him, apparently having
decided henceforth to be mis
sionaries, while continuing their
business in each new commu
nity. In Cenchrea, Paul c u t
his h»ir, which he had for a
\ time allowed to grow long to in
dicate the termination of a vow
junto God. The vow apparently
had reference to his newly com
pleted work at Corinth. Paul
had apparently sought the spe
cial favor of God on this mis
sion and allowed his hair tc
grow for the year and a half in
' visible witness to his own obe
i dience. This observance does not
mean that Paul was bound tc
the Judaistic ceremonies and
observances; it was a personal
vow, not a ceremony of tem
• pie or synagogue.
They arrived at Ephesus,
where Aquila and Priscilla set
tled down for a time, assisting
in the development of tha:
church. Claudius died in A. D
54 and the Jews were able tc
' return thereafter to Rome. Wc
find Aquila and Priscilla there
in early 57, when Paul wrote
his epistle to the Romans. Ep
hesus, like Corinnth, was a very
important business center and
an excellent place for work
and thus this godly family was
able to make the move without
financial suffering.
Since Aquila and Priscilla
were to remain in Ephesus,
Paul left them to their work,

but establishing for the future I
a place of business, helpers, and

Ino need for immediate haste in
their missionary witness. But;
| Paul planned to move on quick
ly, his next destination being
। Caesarea (v. 22). Accordingly,!
he immediately went to the 10-1
1 cal synagogue at Ephesus “and
’: reasoned with the Jews.”
’ j This means that he preached
t concerning the hope of Israel,
j pointing to its fulfillment in
j Jesus Christ and urging them
, to accept Christ as the Messiah.
D : The response to his preaching
j was favorable (v. 20). He was
; asked to remain longer, but “he i
_ 1 consented not,” or literally, did
i! not nod his head. He had
brought capable leadership to
’ Ephesus in Aquila and Priscilla,
" and further instruction could
" be had from them. He did, how -
’ ever, promise to return (v. 21
“if God will.”
Meanwhile, it was necessary
3 for him to “keep this feast that
cometh in Jerusalem.” Some
assume that this was the Pass
-8 over, others, Pentecost. The
reason was not ceremonial,
however, and nothing is said
8 about the feast at any later

B itself was not the object. Paul
wanted to go to Jerusalem for a

Red Russia's Veil
)
p
Has Been Removed
By LEO S. MALLARD
is
Three times this week reports of nuclear explosions by
Russia have circled the globe spreading fear to all who
have heard. The brazen Communist threat of blackmail by
i nuclear power has however, had its adverse ellect on the
peoples of the world. , ,
Neutral countries, many of
whom have been playing both
ends against the middle in or
der to reap aid from the Eas’
and West, have suddenly seen
the corrupt face of Red Rus
sia and her ambitions to rule
the world as a Communist
state.
Some of the neutrals have
been slow to comment on Rus
sia’s resumption of nuclear
testing after the two year mor
atorium, yet, their eyes are
slowly opening to the threat
that confronts them. They
don’t like the unveiled Russian
mug.
The program of propoganda ,
that Russia has been using to
mislead the uncommitted coun
। tries of the world suffered its
greatest blow this week. The
■ base of Soviet propaganda was
exposed as a lie by none other
than Premier Nikita Khrush
chev.
Speaking before the Supreme
Soviet in January, 1960, Khru
shchev said: “Should any of
the states, in the present-day
conditions, resume nuclear
. weapons tests, it is not diffi
• cult to imagine the conse
quences of this act. Other
! states possessing the same
weapons would be forced to
take the same road. An im
pulse would be given to re
sume nuclear-arms testing . . .
under any conditions, and un
. limited by anything...
t Should any side violate the
obligations to which it has
committed itself, the instiga
, tors of such violations will
, cover themselves with shame.

and they will be condemned by
the peoples of the world.”
The timing of the resump
tion of nuclear tests by Rus
sia had a definite purpose
which the West has branded as
“terror tactics.” The announce
ment by the Soviets that they
would test a multimegaton
bomb and resume other tests
was designed to frighten the
neutralists at Belgrade and the
delegates to the upcoming
United Nations Assembly. An
other reason for the resump
tion of the tests, asida from
oolitical reasons, was that
Khrushchev has for months
been under pressure both from
' his scientific and his military
advisers to resume testing.
At Belgrade, where 24 neu
tralist leaders were meeting,
the Soviet move was deplored
with unanimity and the efforts
of the conference to find away
out of the big-power impasse
were paralyzed.
The world knows that Rus
sia is behind the U.S. in both
the quality and quantity of
nuclear weapons. The U. S. has
tested 153 nuclear bombs; the
Soviets an estimated 55.
In the interest of the securi
ty and defense of the United
States and the free world,
Kennedy ordered the resump
tion of nuclear tests by the
United States after the third
Russian blast. The U.S. tests
will be made in the caverns
deep within the mesas of the
Nevada Proving Grounds 65
miles northwest of Las Vegas.
The underground tests will not
allow radio-active fallout to
escape and endanger our popu
lation. This precaution is not
being taken in the testing of
Russian weapons.
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS
According to the Southern
I Pine Association, simple optical
। illusions are good remedies for
visual defects.
For example, a room that
seems too low can be given an
impression of greater height by
• applying wood paneling verti
i cally to the walls.
