possession was the conviction he carried in his heart-as he carried this crumpled piece of paper in his doublet-that God is a personal God. interested in all the affairs which make up His children's life. He found himself bound to his brethren by the tie of a common faith in God. He found himself linked to Christ by the realization that both he and the Saviour bowed before the same Heavenly Father. Pascal believed that the universe in which he lived was dominated by personal forces.
 Many people today hold that they are religious because they believe in what they call a power above their own. But such a belief is not proper basis for religious faith. We have to believe that that power Is person. before we can rejoice and trust. We have to be able to say with Pascal. My God and thy God. 2hy cod shall be my God"

PARACHUTIST IS STILL NARROWED
Mountain Climber Unable to Reach Him Yester-
 day; To Try Again
By FRANK HICKS

(Un1ted Press StaH COrreSpOnuentl
 Devils Tower, Wyo, Oct.4 -(UP) - George Hopkins involuntary camping on top of 865-foot Devils Tower entered its fourth day today and the parachutist had settled down with bottle of whisky to await rescuers.
 Ernest K. Field and Warren Cor rell, skilled mountain climbers of the United States Park service, who went a fourth of the way up the Tower yesterday only to return when dusk overlook them, hoped to have Hopkins on the ground by to- night.
 Although the possibility had been explored there appeared to be small chance that Field and Gorrell would be superseded in their rescue at- tempt by a helicopter-an airplane that ascends and descends almost vertically.
 Park Ranger J. r. Joyner, sta toned at the Devils Tower national monument, telegraphed Igor Sikor- sky, pieaeer aviation engineer, de- signer ana developer of a successful experimental helicopter, asking his opinitr of the possibilities of land- ing one on the 100 by 300 foot top of tho granite tower and taking off again with Hopkins.
 The answer, Joyner said, was "en- couraging' but nothing further had been heard from Sikorsky, and Field and Gorrell expressed confidence they could rescue the parachutist today without help.
 Hopkins, %, a former parachute instructor with the Royal Air force, l7aped from plane to the rock Wednesday as a publicity stunt for an attempt to break the continuous jump record at Rapid City, s. D., Oct. 12
 When he got on top of the Tower, however, he found It's sheer granite walls too steep for novice moun- tain climber to negotiate. He asked assistance in getting down and for three days and three nights has been awaiting It. His first night was spent in a swirling snow and freezing temperatures with only the protection of blanket Thursday an airp'ane dropped him tent, fire wood, food and other provisions Last night he requested and re- ceived, by his special airplane de- livery service, a pint of whisky ''for medicinal purposes"
 Field and Gorrell, most exper- fenced climbers in the Rocky moun- tainS. never before had scaled the almost perpendicular sides of Dev- il's Tower. They said they found it very difIlcult".
 Only 40 persons have ever sealed the Tower, volcanic monolith that rises like a gigantic tree stump out of the northeast Wyoming badlands The last person to scale the peak

Accidents In State
 Continually Gaining
Influx of Migrants Seeking Defense Jobs Blamed
 Motor Vehicle Registrations Also Increasing

Although a serious military traf- fic problem does not exist in Con- necticut, nevertheless, the monthly bulletin issued by the state depart ment of motor vehicles points out, traffic accidents in this state have increased. This increase, it is noted, is due to the defense program" traffic problem created by migrants coming to Connecticut to seek em- ployment.
 Commissioner John T. Mccarthy ayers that although this state has not the large cantonments of others, where military soldiers are stationed, the increase Is due to the influx of defense workers and there is a boost of reportable accidents of 25 per cent.

FACTORY LAYOFF.
 RUMORS PERSIST.
Officials Neither Confirm Nor Deny Reports; Ma
 teriaI Shortage Cause

Officials of both the Waterbury Manufacturing plant of the Chase Brass and Copper Company, and the scovill Manufacturing Company, have declined either to confirm or deny reports that lay-offs and cur tailment of production have been under way lately because of short- ages of materials.
 The fact that certain industries are producing in quantities in ex- cess of production in other defense plants, has been well established. This factor has created an over- abundance of armaments materials in some directions, and shortages in others. It has also been cited as a circumstance in part responsible for scarcity of vital metals, and the government has ordered some plants to cut down on output.
 It was announced by Alan c. Curtiss assistant to President J. H. Goss of the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, that between 50 and 60 employees in the case shop had been transferred to other departments because of diminishing work in the case shop.
