latter had been placed on the blacklist. He opposed the wage and hour bill. He backed out oi the Senate majority leader race to throw his weight for Sen. Pat Harrison, who lost to the admins tration-favored Sen. Alben Bark ley by only one vote. But it was Senator Barkley himself who re- gently accompanied Harrison and Sen. Carter Glass to the White House to urge Byrnes for the Su- preme Court job
 In the Supreme Court reorgani- zation fight, Byrnes was in the forefront for the administration It was bitter battle-and for Byrnes and the administration, a lost cause-yet very few years later, friends and foes alike were willing to join hands and insist that Byrnes be given lifetime job on the same bench that oppo- nents had shouted he was trying to sabotage.

HE'LL BE MISSED


 Is it any wonder that some Dem- ocrats got a little suspicious and murmured that maybe the opposi- tion was trying to bury one of their ablest political gladiators?
 If there had been, it might have been dispelled when it became apparent that Byrnes' nomination to the court had been postponed until after the $7,000,000,000 lend lease bill fight and when the ru- nor leaked out the other day that he would stay on in the Sem ate-in spite of his appointment and nfirmation-until Majority Leader Barkley returned from his long illness.
 The President has put some of his most capable lieutenants on the Supreme Court-and not the least of these is Attorney Gen eral Robert H. Jackson, appointed at the same time Byrnes was-but it is pretty certain there is none he will miss SO much when poli- tics gets rough and tumble and Congress gets out of hand.

Aliens, Too, Must Choose

. These are days when men must choose. , under proposal by Secretary Hull to Congress, aliens too must choose. Some have been drafted into the armed forces, probably without anybodys giving the matter much thought. Several foreign countries have objected, and properly so. We would certainly object if Ameri- can citizens in Germany or Britain were drafted into those armies. It works both ways. So Secretary Hull is quite right in suggesting that Congress pass an amend
 ment to the Selective Service act which would permit aliens thus called up after registration to be exempted at their re- quest. It should be done, for it is no more than we would demand for our own nationals in other countries. But the secretary suggests this additional proviso: that such an alien, having asked and re- ceived exemption, should never there after be allowed to become citizen of the United States
 So aliens, too, must choose, if they are called up in the draft. If they are merely temporary residents in the country on business, they will, of course, ask and IGCClNc CACulpViOll' DULL PSOPiC StO 1ASo ordinarily expect to become citizens any way, so no hardship will be worked. But thousands of aliens are in a different case. They have come to the United States vaguely expecting at some time to become citizens and fully identify them selves with the national life. Such man should no more be exempted than citi- zen. He benefits daily from the security and conditions of the national life. He expects to benefit from them for an ir- definite time in the future. He should bear his share in preserving them.
 1. It, would, be- unfair indeed for such a one to refuse armed service, to watch American citizens serve and perhaps die to preserve free, conditions, and then, the emergency over, apply for and receive the benefits of citizenship. To bar forever from citizenship man who was unwillr ing at time of crisis to bear the burden that citizens bear is no injustice. It is elementary fairness that at times like this aliens, too, should be required to choose.

Hynnal Changes

The Protestant Episcopal Church is making some changes and revisions in their hymnals. Such revisionS are often expedient and helpful in liturgical pro- grams. The question of the proper hymn at the proper time is an important one, and necessarily airs are often changed, advisedly, to meet liturgical requirements. One of the hymns that will have differ ent melody is the well known Little Town of Bethlehem. The new melodies however, will not be compulsory and the old music will appear along with the new.
 A traditional air (English) Forest Greens" will be adapted to the hymn mentioned above. The present air. ac,. cording to hymn authorities, is not enough in the tradition of a carol. The present air is an adaptation by an organ iSt at Holy Trinity Church in Philadel- phia. In the revised hymnal about two hundred and seventy new tunes will be noted among the six hundred included.
 No doubt many will miss the old hymn airs; but with the revisions the musical settings will undoubtedly be more suit able to the texts in many instances. Bromide hymns have been the bane of church services for many years, and first disappointment will soon be dissipated when people become used to newer and better order. And one may rest assured, the more important and best hymns of this church will not be affected Such changes as are underway are usually the result of careful regulation by persons who are efficient and capable of judging the musical and poetic value of hymns in their relation to church services.

When Somebody Gives

Not "What can get?" but What can I do?" Everybody knows that we need more of that spirit. Not so many act ually do anything about it. In Lincoln, H., 500 members of the Logan County Building and Construction Trades Coun- cil are doing something about it. A pro- posal had been made by the Lincoln Eve ming Courier that ornamental approaches be built at the points where state high ways entered Lincoln.
 Leaders of the carpenters, teamsters painters, plumbers, and common labor CTS unions became interested Their mem- bers volunteered to do the work without cost to the state, which co-operated by lending planners and machinery. So on May 10 Lincoln unveils the first of series of the city gateways, made possible be- cause it has men who are proud enough of their town to be willing voluntarily to do something about 1t; because it has men who were willing to ask not What can get?" but "What can do?"

United Service Organizations

The keynote of democratic procedures is voluntary cooperation In forming the United Service Organizations for Ma tional Defense, Inc, the government is setting up the machinery by which those already-existing organizations with the greatest past experience in making sol diers comfortable can pool their effort. Cooperating are the Y. M C. A., National Catholic Community Service, Salvation Army, Y. W. c. A., Jewish Welfare Board and Travellers Aid Association.
 Together they will run 339 service clubs which the government will build and lease to them. Operation of the clubs will be strictly civilian undertaking, and will depend on contributions to the agencies participating. Soon there will be drive to raise nearly $11 100000 for the first years operation. Those who realize how much. it means to lonely soldier far from home to have place where he can go for recreation and guidance when on pass from camp will have their pocket books open when the call comes.

Forest Fires

The forest fire has become so threat ening in this state that the State has officially closed the woods for any activi- ties whatsoever Early spring droughts have been common in years gone by but the present dry spell, as the farmers call it, is of unusual duration and most severe; enough to make things hazard ous in the woodland areas, not to mention spreading to communities as the fires have done in Massachusetts and south ern New Jersey.
 The unusually early spring in the east ern states has brough forth verdure about month ahead of time. Trees are fast becoming green, and hedges like wise. One thing, however is lacking, sufficient rains to overcome the dryness which has become alarming. With the accompanying winds the woods are so much dry finder, and fire alarms sound every hour of the day.
 Each day there is prediction of rain, but each day daWns clear and bright. Summer-like temperatures have lessened somewhat and the weather is now more normal as to temperature. few days of rain would help matters considerably and lessen the danger of frightening for est fires. The very simple act of passing motorists or hikers of throwing away a cigarette is one of the many menaces to the forests at this time.

In the midst of war and strife and world upheaval the present theatrical season has been a noteworthy one. In the world of music musicians are at their best and art for arts sake holds the fort Foreigners in New York City and other major cities are impressed with the free dom with which entertainment is launched in this country; no strings attached and no composers works barred. So different from art in other countries where dictatorship tells one what they shall see and what they shall do. For the time being we are fortunate in this coun- try, and none is more appreciative of the fact than refugees who have been fortu- nate enough to get away from their own countries where it is not possible to saunter forth to ones favorite play, opera or symphony concert.

And regarding plays the Drama Cri- tics Circle in New York this week selected their dramatic choices for 1940-41. Amer ica's best play of the season is, according to this group, Lillian Hellman's "Watch On the Rhine" which has only recently arrived in New York It has everything, 1t seems, to make it an outstanding American play that has for its central character an anti-Nazi German in this country. Ethel Barrymore, ranking American actress, and her play, "The Corn Is Green" wins first award for play written by foreign author. And a play that has only arrived this week, "The Beautiful People" by William Saroyan, is runner-up after Watch on the Rhine. Dramatics have done very well for themselves this season from all re- ports, and in world full of horrors it is possible to spend couple of hours for laugh at the American scene In Life With Father, or to bask in c.

the primary or prominent factor in repentance. We do not repent be- cause we are sorry about some- thing; we become sorry over our evil because we have repented or changed our minds with reference to 1t. The Bible meets all the re- requirements of sound psychology. It teaches that repentance begins with a change of mind, then pro- ceeds to change of conduct, and last of all to change of feeling. Emotion is the last factor in the process, not the first.
 We repent of an evil when we see the folly of it and stop doing 1t. We ought to maintain a quiet, whole some distrust of sorrow which fol- lows wrong doing. More often than not, it is sorrow not for the evil act but for ourselves that we have been detected in 1t. We can be very sorry for wrong we have done and not repent it Give us an oppor- tunity an hour from now and we would repeat the evil.
 Repentance means changed mind, changed conduct, changed feeling and always in that order.

"All I see is Sumner Welles," griped Ambassador Oumansky. "The matters I have to discuss should be taken up with the Secretary of State personally"
 But what the usually astute ans- bassador did not know was that MT. Hull disliked all things Rus- sian, didn't want to discuss Rus- sia, or be reminded of Russia. He classified the Soviet with such institutions as carpet-baggers, John l.. Lewis, Hull's Cabinet col- league Harold Ickes, and the Civil War guerillas who attacked his father. MT. Hull has one of the choicest vocabularies in Washing ton, and when he turned 1t loose on Russia he really outdid him. self.
 All of which is by way of em- phasizing the change which took place the other day when Cordell Hull actually issued g public statement praising Soviet Russia.
 That statement was issued not because MT. Hull's basic feelings toward Russia had changed, but only because there are very few nations left in the world today which may be potential bulwarks against Hitler. Russia is foremost among them, and MT. Hull openly and obviously was wooing the hated Soviet.
 That incident, more than ale most any other recent develop ment in Washington, is a tell tale indication of the seriousness with which Cabinet members view the desperate plight of the Bri- tish and the very dangerous situ- ation of the United States.

LEGISLATIVE SABOTAGE
(Bridgeport Times-star)

From reports at Hartford, 1t would seem that the savings bank life in- surance bill is getting the kind of treatment its opponents hope will result In its eventual defeat.
 After having received favorable action in the Senate, the bill is meeting obstructionist tactics in the House. Some of the obstruction comes from sincere supporters of the, savings bank insurance prf1l. ciple, who want to be sure that the best possible bill Is adopted. And some of the obstruction comes frcm elements which are against the principle, and opening their battle to kill the bill by picking on first one detail and then another. If they can possibly make 1t into a bill which is pleasing. to no one, they will have achieved their object.
 Such tactics are direct challenge to Governor Robert A. Hurley. who deserves all credit for making Sav- ings bank insurance one of his own major proposals. There is such a thing as reasonable discussion on a measure as important as this. And there is such Q thing as deliberate sabotage, too. It's beginning to look like the latter.
