Sense Of Community
 Needed, Says Pastor
Rev. Dr. John Walker Plays Cultural People for Fail' ing to Accept Share of Public Welfare Responsibility

privileged groups have already inc herited. As somone has put it, we have above all else the right ot responsibility"
 One of the weaknesses of Ameri- can life is the unwillingness of the cultural, the well educated, the we'll to-do to accept their fair share of responsibility for public welfare, for social conditions. for civic affairs, for national policy We make the politicians the butt of our jokes but the fact of the matter is the profes- sional politician relies for his suc- cess on the e. " tive indiffer- ence of the So-called 7od citizens to the serious issues Of the day. They are notable exceptions, of course, but the fact remains that many a critical election, and many a vital issue, are lost because the good citizens do not as much as turn out to vote, much less take any active and strenuous part in getting out the vote. We haven't cultivated in America the needed sense of social and community re- sponsibility.
 Life is very largely a matter of growth in responsibility. Some peo- pie never seem to get even to the stage where they can take care of themselves. Some people take too good care of themselves Some peo- pie there are who are good family men, hardworking reliable, honest, generous within the family circle, but with little or no concern with their interests, their concerns, their sympathies to include those in want and need but have no religious faith. It is our firm belief as Chris tians that the ideal is that a man should shoulder his responsibility as a son of God, that he should rec ognize that God has place for him in this world that nobody else can fill, work to 60 that no one else ill the whole world can do for him, a service to render to the world of men and to the Kingdom of God.
 It has been pointed out that ev- cry great leader of mankind who has left a record of high achieve ment has seemed to have sense of Divine Purpose and Mission. The greatest thinkers, men like Socra- tes, the greatest poets, men like Milton and Dante, the greatest of the men of action, men like Crom- well and Lincoln, to say nothing of prophets, reformers, martyrs have felt divine purpose breeding over them and working through them. Such faith in that overarching pur- pose of God added greatly to their human talents and powers, made these men influential and famous out of all seeming proportion to their talents.

INSANE FATHER
 KILLS CHILDREN
Found Later in His Home as He Tried to Take
 Own Life

North Bergen, N. J., Jan. 13.- CUP)-John Behmer, fl, was in critical condition in hospital to- day, apparently unaware that he had killed his two small sons with an ax and then attempted suicide by gas.
 Police said Behmer was hospital ized after nervous breakdown in 1889 and apparently had suffered a recurrence yesterday.
 Mrs. Behmer was awakened yeS- terday morning by screams of her younger son, Robert. She found the two-year-old boy in his crib, his head bleeding. She ran with him to a neighbor'S home and an am- bulance took him to North Bergen hospital. A few minutes later the ambulance was called again when police, inspecting the nursery, found the ax buried in the skull of John, Jr., 6.
 The younger boy died shortly after he was taken to the hospital and the older two hours later.
 The ambulance returned a third time when Behmer was found in the kitchen with a blanket over his head, slumped over gas range, all jets of which were open. He was booked at the hospital on two charges of murder and charge of attempted suicide. Police said he had been a devoted family man but recently had been worried over his condition and the war.
 He regained consciousness briefly and asked:
 What is the matter? Why don't you let me go homer"

PARKING METERS NOW OPERATING
Police Broadcast Warning That System Is Now
 in Effect

Police department uShered ill new era today by officially putting into operation the parking meter system which has been in the process of in- stallation since the early part of De- cember. The delay was due to the lack of a plate required for attach ment of the meter to the post, but intensified operation by workmen over the week end practically com- pleted the task.
 So TOW with meters in operation each weekday from 8:30 a. m. to 6:30 D. m. Deputy Supt. J. Carlson said today that enforcement of the parking ordinance will become more stringent. He urged the driving pub- lie to cooperate with the police in observance of this law, adding that the cheaters who have taken advan- tage will be summarily dealt with.
 Courtesy tags have been used in seeking this cooperation of persons who have in the past violated the parking limit and the deputy feels that the public has had sufficient time to become acquainted with the enacted ordinance.
 Collector of the meter coins will be Supernumerary Patr olm Il August Rinaldi who has been desig- mated by Supt. of Police William J. Roach. His duties will begin today, and he has been provided with a counting-booth in back of the desk men in the police headquarters.

s'what we need so badly in America today is sense of com nnanity, a sense of common need md fellowship" stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, Second Congrega- tional church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon entitled, ''What Kind of Folks Live Around Here?"
 Dr. Walker said in part: happen Co believe that the writers of the Declaration of Independence were inspired when they said, "All men are created equal, that they are en- dowed by their Creator with certain linalienable right, that mang these are life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" That is the authentic American ideal, a classleSs society, equal opportunity for all, equality before the law. I understand as well as anyone else that men are born unequal in talent, ability and circumstance but it is the business of the state and of the good citizens of the state to redress the balance as far as possible, say too that all too often men have thought of rights for themselves and too sel- dom of the rights and privileges for others. Our fundamental right, our fundamental ideal as held up by the Declaration of Independence was the right to seek for all our fellow citizens the advantages that you and I who represent the more

POLICE, TICKETS
 IN BITTER FIGHT
Four Policemen Taken to Hospital After Struggle
 in Saginaw

Saginaw, Mich, Jan. 13.-(UP)- Fifty police today threw tear gas at pickets attempting to enforce a strike at the Wilcox-Rich division of the Eaton Manufacturing com pany, where approximately one third of production is on National defense orders.
 Members of the United Automo- bile Workers Union went on strike this morning in compliance with or ders for walkouts in all divisions of the Eaton company.
 An estimated 250 pickets deployed before the main gate to the plant in downtown Saginaw, an hour be- fore opening time. An estimated 300 workers, not participating in the strike, waited across the street to go to work while police fought vainly to effect an entrance for them.
 Tickets, some of them armed with clubs, held off the police. On orders from Capt. George H. McNicoil, sec- ond in command of the city police force, tear gas and sickening gas was fired into the picket line. Many of the missiles were picked up by the picketS and thrown back into the police line. The wind. however, was blowing toward the plant.
 Police In Hospital
 Four policemen, including Captain McNicoil, were taken to a hospital. Police said that approximately 20 gas shells were fired.
 The Wilcox-Rich division manu- factures principally tappets and valve seats for airplanes. Its out put is vital to plane manufacturing plants in many parts of the country. It normally employs about @ thou sand men.
 The walk-out there was to be fol- lowed by strikers at the company's plants at Detroit, Battle Creek, Mar shall and Cleveland, union officis1s said, affecting approximately 5000 men. Four of the five factories are engaged in defense production.
 Union representatives said the walkout was ordered because the company had failed to abide by a recent agreement by which a prev ious strike at the Saginaw plant was settled and strikes at the other plants averted. The union charged the company failed to rehire its members after strike month ago over demands for representation.
 The Saginaw plant has a collec- tive bargaining contract with the rival AFL Automobile Workers Union, and the dispute was precipit- ated by claims of the UAW-CIO to more than 50 per cent membership.
