WTASHINGTON.-Thc glee Of
w Congressman Andrew J. May
of Kentucky, at his attainment of
the Craftsmanship of the House
Military Affairs Committee, is
matched in its intensity only by
the pain which his elevation in
flicts upon friends of IVA.
May is the Twas most vocal
enemy in the House, and the Mill
tary Affairs Committee is the
group through which all legiSla-
ton bearing on iva must clear
before reaching the House floor.
His efforts against IVA admins
tration, methods and purposes
have been happily received by
public utility and coal lobbyists.
A former president of q Ken
lucky coal company, May frankly
has admitted that he is motivated
by competition which the IVA
hydro-electric power Develop
mentS offer to steam power plants.
The steam power plants are large
consumers of coal.
Some he! mitigating on the
conservative Military Affairs Com
mittee over iva is indicated, with
Congressman Maury Maverick of
Texas leading the battle for iva.
A current issue is being fought
out between Mays resolution to
investigate IVA and the Norris
Maverick resolution, which con-
tains provision for inquiry into
anh-TVA activities of private
power companies. p
May brands the latter resolu-
ton "red herring" because it
would practically assure appoint
ment of someone other than him
self as chairman of the investigat-
ing group.

Samson's first wilful blunder was in
marrying the wrong girl His rowing
fancy fell upon a Philistine maid. and
he demanded that his parents get her
for him as wife They demonstrated:
were there not plenty of beautiful
and suitable maidens among the He
breWs?
They knew, as older persons every
where know, that young persons
should marry only within the bounds
of their own race and religion. All
of us are familiar with tragedies
which have followed violations of
this fundamental law. What tales I
could tell to illustrate this truth!
But, alas, heady youth is often least

considered marriage of impulse. There
need be little wonder that so many
such weddings quickly wind up in the
divorce court. Every boy and girl
should early be taught, When you
marry, do SO within the limits of your
own race and religion; and look we'll
before you leap" That counsel sums
up the wisdom of the ages.
On his way to get his Philistine bride
Samson slew a lion with his bare
hands. For lions were then common
in Palestine and Arabia: even now one
is occasionally seen in the desert. Some
days later, on the way to his wedding
feast with his bride, Samson saw that
bees had taken possession of the lions
skeleton. which. of course, jackals
and kites had stripped to the bone;
and he ate of the honey. At the feast
he propounded to his 80 Philistine
guests the famous riddle: Out of the
eater came forth food, and out OF the
strong came forth sweetness"
Thirty changes of raiment were
wagered. The bride coaxed the secret
lloll OdIlSOll, ana COlQ Iler 1rlenQS.
In anger he slew thirty other Philis-
tines. and so secured garments with
which to pay his debt. The outcome
of that incident was that the bride and
her family were slain by the Philistines.
But Samson took another Philis-
tine wife, Delilah, who, after many
failures, wormed from him the secret
that his strength was in his hair. The
loss of hair would mean the breaking
OF the VOW with Jehovah. Thus at
last the enemy mastered him, and put
out his eyes, and set him at the ami
NAL task Of grinding mill.
I.sts Be Serious.
We may we'll take counsel with
Samson. For ours is a frivolous,
superficial day. Despite the weight
OF woe that bears down on the world,
the prevailing mood is trifling. N.Y.

tells me that 80 per cent of his hearers
vote for jazz music. Most motion
pictures are cheap and tawdry The
magazines which crowd our news
stands, would, for the far greater part,
better be left unread. Evidently, the
Samson mood is abroad in the world.
For Samson's basic sin was his fall
ure to take himself and life seriously.
He would sacrifice years of usefulness
for a momentary qualification. He
was wilful, headstrong, impulsive,
irresponsible. And that sort of young
man is forever and everywhere in for
trouble and for bitter reckoning.
A Giants Strength.
Today's young man enters upon life
with more equipment of power and
knowledge at his command than the
youth of any other generation. He
is the heir of all the ages" But he
needs the serious purpose and intense
application that gave us the great
men of earlier eras.
Old Israel had one crying grief in
Samson's day. 1t was subject to the
Phllistines. He was fitted, in all but
his own attitude, to become a deliverer
But he sold his birthright for an I'M
satisfactory mess Of heathen pottage
An equal lack of deep interest for the
welfare of our time is found in a null
titude of competent youth today. They
take no active interest in politics. They
read the comics in the newspapers
more assiduously than they read the
foreign news. Spain and China and
Czechoslovakia and Ethiopia cause
them no anxious thought. They are
indifferent to menacing world war.
Our own thronging social and eco
nomic problems they view only from
the standpoint of self-interest. They
do not read the great books, including
the Bible. They do not put their backs
under the church's task. They seem
unaware that:
There is a poor, blind Samson in
this land,
Shorn of his strength, and bound
with bands of steel,
Who may, in some grim revel, raise
his hand,
And shake the pillars OF the common
veal"
Dying Like a Hero.
After his eyes had been put out,
Samson saw light. While he toiled
at donkey's task, he at last thought
like a true man. Jehovah had left
him in the days when he sported
his giants strength like fool For
the grim scripture is true: MY spirit
will not always strive with man." But
in the misery and suffering of his la
borious captivity, Samson renewed his
covenant with God. All unheeded by
his captors, his strength returned. So
when he was called upon to make
sport for his enemies in the great
temple of Dagon (French Psychologists
recently unearthed Dagon temple in
Syria), he saw his opportunity to
strike a last blow for Israel. He pulled
down the supporting pillars, and slew
more men at his death than in his
life. He himself perished vicariously,
dying in strength, whereas he had
lived in weakness.
