RADIANT LIVING
Roadside Sermons
By Rev. C.. Nj. Griffeth
CeciltOn, Md.

It was delightful morning of a
summer day that I took this am
bulating adventure abroad through
the sunlit countryside.
Walking carelessly along, inhaling
the fragrant aroma of the wayside
honeysuckle that had climbed the
fences along the way, my attention
was attracted by a robin that had
settled down a short distance ahead.
When he spied me he quickly took
off again across the hedge but not
without calling up in my memory the
words of the Master: Behold the
fowls of the air; for they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into
barns; yet your heavenly Father
feedeth them. Are We not much bet
ter than they?"
With these words in my mind,
swung along until I noticed a bunch
of orange tiger lilies. I stopped a
moment to admire their form and
beauty. Suddenly, it seemed, they
were speaking to me. They seemed
to be saying: even Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one
of these shall He not much more
clothe you, o We of little faith?"
Perhaps a mile further down the
road it was that I saw afar afield,
a farmer with a team of horses
patiently cultivating long rows Of
young corn. Although he was a great
distance away, yet there came close
to my heart the words of the Parable
of the Good Sewer.
I began to wonder what good seed

I mad sown, if any, and whether or
not it might yield a sufficient fold to
feed some hungry person during the
cold blasts of the coming winter.
Although they never knew it, the
bird, the flower, and the plodding
worker spoke foreceably to me of
the infinite love of God and of my re-
sponsibility to make that love real
ity to my brother man.

WASHINGTON, April 2.--Some-- how the capital limelight has a way of coming back to shine with renewed brilliance on the white hair of tall, smiling, sedate Ber- nard M. Baruch.
 Years ago, when the term spec ulator" (applied to a Wall Street operator) was one of considerable opprobrium, Baruch gathered It unto himself. I'm just a specuia- tor, he said, don't call me anything else. Yet Barney" Baruch un- doubtedly has had the confidence, respect, and admiration of - and been adviser to-more Presidents than any other man who has ranged the Street"
 A little more than 20 years ago, he was head of the war industries board of World War I. He was called the "czar of industry" He didn't like the title and by word, written and spoken, has frequent ly pointed out that in those other war years, it was President Wn- son, not Bernard M. Baruch, who held the check -reins on industry, labor, prices. wages and hours.
 That may be true. but, it doesn't ietract from the fact that it was

LANDS MADE. MISTAKE IN
 BRIDGES CASE

WASHINGTON. April 2.-J. Ed gar Hoover. Chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, advised to- day that the first deportation pro- ceedings against Harry Bridges, CIO labor leader, were conducted without full authority.
 House Appropriations Committees declared, Whoever is responsible should be brought to account" :" Hoover said Dean Landis, who con- ducted the first Bridges hearing was appointed as Contract Labor Exam finer and not as an Immigration In- spection, and no statutory authority is conferred on Contract Labor Examiner for power to administer oaths.
 Landis' proceedings resulted in the cancellation by Secretary of Labor Perkins of the deportation order previously issued against Bridges.

Intelligence Service Inves- tigdting All Phases of

 REPORTED SEIZED
Governments Are Not Len- tent with Offenders Fol-
 lowing Fires, Seuft|ings

WASHINGTON, April 2. The United States Intelligence Service, it is learned authoritatively today, is concentrating efforts to determine whether any German or Italian of ficials in this country instigated the wholesale sobatage which crippled most of the Axis vessels which were seized in American ports over the weekend as the result of sabotage.
 If the complicity of any diplo- matic or consular officials should be established, informed sources said, the State Department is ready to take immediate action.
 The guilty officials will probably be handed their passports or prompt recall demanded.
 Elsewhere In tfe hemisphere the story is one of seized, fired or scut- tied Axis shipping. Crews are in the custody of the governments and in- vestigations are being pushed with a threat of criminal prosecution in the background.
 Since the weekend 16 vessels have been taken into custody by Latin American nations. Eleven have been fired or scuttled. two have taken flight.
 Tn some cases other governments have resorted to a sterner show of force than the United States.

WASHINGTON-D committee investigators are quietly probing some sensational information that may rock the Army.
 It concerns the mysterious $125,- 900 fire in the War Department Building last October and involves an ex-Army officer.
 Dies agents were put on the mans trail by the owner of small Capital flower shop. who called on Robert Stripling, secretary of the commit tee, and told him this tale:
 The night before the fire, mid dles-aged retired Army captain dropped into the shop to chat with a young clerk, with whom he had become friendly. The clerk was de- scribed by his employer as having very liberal views" On this oc- casion he and his customer discussed the Presidential campaign for few minutes, when suddenly the latter leaned over and whispered:
 I'm going to tell you something very sensational, but keep it quiet. There will be fire in the War Department within 24 hours"
 The clerk was surprised, but didn't think much about the remark until the following day when the predic- ton came true. The clerk was scared stiff, feared trouble and decided to keep quiet until he had a chance to talk to his strange acquaintance again.
 The retired Army captain didn't reappear for several weeks. Finally he came at night and, according to the florist, was dressed in "flashy new clothes"
 But while affable and chatty, he would not discuss the fire or his mysterious prediction about it. Every time the clerk brought up the mat ter, the customer changed the sub ject.
 More disturbed than ever, the

HIS FAME WAS ESTABLISHED

If Baruch's services to his coun- try had ended right there, he would have deserved at least footnote in any outline of history. But no sooner had he taken a breathing spell than he was hammering away in speeches, pamphlets and maga- zine articles to take the profits out of war" This was years be- fore Congress enacted any legisla- tion to that end.
 Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover all used Baruch's ,grea t knowledge and called him in as adviser or appointed him to various commissions handling business, eco- homie and farm matters.
