there was not necessarily 4 move
by the labor group to rush the

The public members, in explain-
ing their decision last week to give
the President a factual report on
the little steel formula without
recommendations, said the WLB is
not informed sufficiently as to
the effect on prices which 4 change
in the formula, might have. Hence
informed sources suggested. the
President may find it necessary
to call for comment from price
control authorities before acting
on the wage report. This would
almost certainly delay = decision

R-In skies sometimes to crowd

McCuskey, holder of the Navy

they tried to jump us.

There were planes blasting away

SCHOOL STATUS
rifles BAPTISTS

RALEIGH, Oct. 17.-AAPredic-
ton that a floor fight will de-
velop next month in the Baptist
State convention in Charlotte was
made by leaders today after trus-
tees of Meredith college unani-
mously and vigorously protested
a proposal that the institutional
property be sold and woman $
college founded at Wake Forest
college.
The proposal first was outlined
in recent issue of the Biblical
Recorder, UNCONVENTIONAL publ
cation, by S. Wait Brewer, chair
man of the executive committee
of the Wake Forest board of trus'
tees. He wrote that resolution
would be introduced at the Char
lotte meeting to discontinue the
operation of Meredith college at
Raleigh, to dispose Of that insti'
tution's property, and with its
present and anticipated assets to
establish a woman's college as
part of a proposed university on
the campus of Wake Forest col
lege.
Opposing the proposition. W. H.
Weatherspoon, president of the
Meredith trustees, in an article
appearing in tomorrow's issue OF
the Biblical Recorder, said that
Heaven forbid that Meredith
should be passed upon as though
:, it were a factory, producing con-
sumner goods. If the guiding
principal is to be the grinding OUT
of diplomas at the cheapest dol
lar cost, we should bow out Of
the educational field and leave il
entirely to the state.
'Mereditn's disappointment is
heavy. We have done nothing to
harm, and have refused to be
drawn into controversy with any
sister institution
Weatherspoon and other trus-
tees referred in their resolution
to convention-endorsed solicita-
ton for $685., 600, and reported that
$685., 1000 already had been pledged
and donate for the expansion pro-
gram.
Meredith, they went on has the
greatest number of students in
its history $500. cts future has
never seemed so promising and
challenging. Shall the Baptists
eliminate Meredith college for a
new experiment and force Baptist
women to attend Wake Forest as
co-educational institution or
seek their education elsewhere and
outside of Baptist influence?"
"The proposal" the resolution
said. asserts that the separate
existance of Wake Forest college
for men and Meredith college for
women is responsible for the 'ir-
ritation of needless competition.
The authors of the proposal have
forgotten that without prior con-
vention authority Wake Forest
opened its junior and senior class
es to women students. Now they
complain that there is competition
which is irritating to them. If
irritating competition ext st !,
Meredith has done nothing to
create such a condition"

HOBBLING ALONG

After King Solomon's death,
Jcroboam encouraged a rebel
lion on the part of the northern
area which became known as the
Kingdom. Jeroboam
not only became king of the
Kingdom, but also is
held responsible for the intro
duction of the Golden Bulls
which were probably intended
to attract those who felt inclin-
cd to visit the temple down in
Jerusalem. Many other men
served as king after Jeroboam,
most of them losing their place
on the throne as well as their
life at the same time, till man
by the name of Omri became
king. Adopting the former an
ceStor and King Solomon's for
eign policy, Omri married his
sons to daughters of neighboring
foreign kings. Ahab, Omri's
son, received as his wife the de-
termined JcZebel.
Jezcbels god was Melkart, a
god Of Baalism, and Ahab built
a special temple for the practise
of her religious duties. Deter
mined as she was, she employed
more and more prophets of Baal,
and before the Northern King
dom was fully aware of the con-
sequences Of this tolerance OF
unchristian religious practise
most of the prophets of Jehovah
were killed, and few people
were sincere in their worship of
Jehovah, but were taking active
part in the practises Of Baalism
as prescribed by Jezebel and her
employed prophets.
Elijah then came TO the fore
ground and challenged King
Ahab for allowing this situation
regardless of the motives center.
cd around Ahab's decisions. AT.
ter a drought that lasted fol
two years, Elijah was summoned
by the king, and in order to set
tie this question, the people
were called together, and con.
test was planned TO decide the
issue at the root of the entire
trouble. Elijah drew near to al
the people and said, "How long
will you hobble along on this
faith and that? If the Eternal
is God, follow him; if Baal, then
follow him" In the contest thai
followed, Jezcbels prophets OF
Baal lost, and Elijah, the pro
phet of Jehovah won.
