WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Rumors
that the office of Civilian Defense
would be liquidated, following the
resignation of Director James M
Lands, have almost wrecked the
home office here. More than 400
workers have quit the 1,10O-em-
ploye agency in recent weeks. Act
ing Director John Martin has had
to make mass and individual APP
peals to slow down the wave OF
designations.
AS a matter of fact, If present
plans are developed, OCD might be
one war agency carried right on
into peacetime. AS the danger OF
air attacks has lessened, OCD has
been concentrating more and more
on disaster aid. The effectiveness
of the OCDers in aiding police, fire
men and medical authorities in the
Boston night club fire pointed up
the value of such a nationally Su-
pervised agency in peacetime.
One of the more tiresome storms
in the congressional teacup is the
continued complaint that there are
lot of government workers still at
their desks who should be in the
armed forces.
The long drawn harpings on the
subject resulted recently in the
Bailey Clark bill in the Senate
which would restrict the employ
ment of any able-bodied males in
the government here between the
ages of 10 and 38. One of the local
columnists who devotes himself en-
tirely to federal employe matters
has issued a challenge to the Sen
ators or any one else to find him
one government worker within those
ages who isn't At, a father, or de-
ferred as essential. The revision OF
the last named lists has been going
on for year or more and there
SOuiu lldluly NC many iSAb VIII diS
not legitimately essential.
Oddly enough, it's the Army and
Navy that are most opposed to the
Bailey-Clark bill. They are in the
throes of trying to get their uni
formed personnel here, capable Of
combat duty, into the field. The
number of civilians they will need
to replace them in coming months
may run into the thousands.
There is no doubt that there were
many abuses here early of the de-
ferment for essential duty clause
but congressional criticism started
cleaning that up long ago. In fact
congressional criticism drove out Of
the government a good many mer
who really were essential and ir
some cases men who were ill-suitec
for military duty.

The W ashington
Merry Co Round
BY DREW PEARSON
tMAjor Robert Q. Allen on active duty.l

WASHING TON Inside the
White House, word is being passed
around that the President has the
old Dutch up regarding food sub
sides. He is determined to con-
tinue and increase his subsidy plan
despite the negative action OF the
House Banking and Currency Com
mittee which voted to ban most sub
sides on food and other items after
January l.
One thing that has made the
President sore is the report he got
on what happened inside the Bank
ing and Currency Committee. Two
things occurred behind closed doors
which never leaked out.
one was the method used by
Chairman Henry B. Steagal OF
Alabama, sponsor of the bill, IN
keeping the legislation concealed
from his Democratic colleagues UNI
til the last minute--so they had no
chance to study its technical con-
tents. Meanwhile, Steagall con-
ferred at length with Representative
James p. Wolcott OF Michigan
ranking Republican of the commit
tee, the day before the bill was
considered.
Second unreported fact was now
Steagall left loophole for the pro-
lection of his own farmer constit-
ucnts. The bill calls for continued
subsidies on three commodities
SOW beans, peanuts and cottonseed.
Two of these, peanuts and cotton
seed, are leading products OF Stea-
CALLS Alabama district.
On the rollcall. the Committees
II Republicans lined up solioiy
with Steagall, plus three otner
Democrats and one Progressive
Representative Merlin Hull OF WIS
consin. Ten Democrats, led by
Representatives Wright Patman OF
Texas. Thomas Ford of California
and James Wright of Pennsylvania
put up vigorous fight against the
farm bloc coalition but we're out
numbered.
RUNAWAY IMITATION
Patman bluntly charged the Re-
publicans with "condemning to
death" the Administrations anti
initiation program without even
suggesting an alternative" to keep
the lid on consumer prices. The
big Texan said the Steagall bill
would cause wild price increases on
virtually all necessities and would
cost American consumers Is bill

Church and Home
By REV. M. MIKKELSEN

The word "again" in Mark 81 in
dicates that it was not the first time
people had neglected to provide for
themselves in order to experience
in the presence of Jesus the radiance
of divine power emanated by His
personality. Merely by being close
to Him were they benefited in a way
which was impossible under any other
circumstance. A transmutation in
their own lives took place for which
they could well afford to miss out
out on several meals and suffer the
effect of such neglect.
There were others who did not
get in on this. They are not men,
toned in this part of scripture for
they were always either at home or
close enough in any event to hear
the calling of the dinner bell They
were deeply conscious of their own
physical need and knew how to
provide for it.
To say that Jesus was not con-
cerned about them is not right. He
was, and did everything possible
within His power to awaken in them
the realization of the danger which
confronted them, a danger as great
and eminent as the danger of physi-
cal starvation which threatens those
who are cut off from the supply of
food.
MonopoliZation makes certain foods
very expensive and even prohibi-
tive for a great number of people,
Others, who can afford to buy regard
less of price, and who never knew
what it is to be without the simple
necessities of life, may be starving
mentally and spiritually, not because
these commodities have been mon
opolized, but for the simple reason
that they have never sufficiently
learned to adjust themselves to the
principle of placing first things first
in life.
Apparently people are taking
chances either way, whether they
are risking either physical or mental
starvation, and they should, therefore,
realize that wherever there is need
God is able to remove it, or at least
make it less disturbing, if He is
permitted to do so.
That freedom from want is Gods
gift to man is attested by scripture on
numerous occasions; if it is food for
the body that is worrying us, because
it is scarce, there is the assurance in
the passages about the feeding of
multitudes in the wilderness, which
may be of comfort to us; is it food
for the soul of those who seem to be
quite able to take care of themselves
physically but neglect the spiritual
aspect of their lives, we are concerned
about, there is comfort in the assur-
ance conveyed through the statement:
"And other sheep I have, which
are not of this fold; also they shall
hear my voice."
Let us not forget that God is ever
ready to serve us in our need.
