Locating the U. N.

With the United States declaring
In favor of an East Coast site, final
decision onaa permanent home for
the United Nations may be expected
momentarily. In a sense, the Rus
SLAMS have forced our hand on this.
When the house hunting first began,
our official position was strictly
neutral. Then, as the months
dragged on, the hunt begged down
in confusion, and the State Depart
ment came In for much criticism
for failing to participate actively.
Finally, in an effort to speed up a
selection, former Senator Austin, our
chief delegate to the U. ~, proposed
that consideration be limited to the
New York and San Francisco areas.
This was merely move to be help
full, but the Soviet delegation read
things into it and finally exploded
into a silly, incorporate and wholly
unjustified attack accusing us of
trying to force agreement on a West
Coast location.
Answering this with admirable re-
straint, Mr.. Austin has now made
clear Just where we stand. No
longer neutral, we agree with the
Russian and British view that trans
portation and similar factors argue
convincingly for the East Coast,
though several nations particularly

raphy, convenience favors the At
lantic seaboard: California would be
too remote; it would create travel
strains; it would involve too many
physical and administrative prob
lems for diplomatic personnel forced
to divide their time between their
own countries and America and be-
tween Washington and U. N. head
quarters. In the circumstances, with
the Big Three holding to this view,
the choice will almost certainly be
between the New York and Philadel-
phia areas, with Boston possible

the decision when it comes; the

Hopeful Traffic Trend

Although the figures are not con-
elusive, there are indications that
the police breakdown on speeding
drivers under the new permit
suspension plan has begun to have
it's effect on accident statistics. At
any rate, 1t is interesting to note
that there has been a substantial
falling off in the number Of traffic
accidents since the Commissioners
issued their drastic permit order on
August 90 last.
That order, calling for the sus-
pension or revocation of licenses of
drivers convicted of speeding over
SO miles an hour, led to the suspen-
sion or revocation of 1859 permits
during August, September, October
and November. That was about six
times as many penalties of this type
as were imposed on drivers during
the similar period of last year. In
cidentally, only about one-third OF
the affected motorists were District
residents.
While these offenders were being
barred from further driving for
varying periods, traffic officials OBJ
served several trends which seem to
be more than coincidental. First,
although there has been on appre-
ciable reduction in speeding arrests,
there has been noticeable decrease
in arrests for all violations in which
cars in motion were involved. For
example, the moving-car arrests
rose from 3,033 last January to 4,527
in August, when the permit order
went into effect, and then sharply
dropped off to 4,011 in September
and 4,191 in October. OF course, ar
rest statistics do not necessarily re-
fleet accurately the driving habits
of the motoring public. This is be-
cause the degree of enforcement
may vary from time to time.
The accident figures are a more
reliable criterion, and here the
record is even more interesting.
Whereas accidents increased Al per
cent for the first half of this year
as compared with the first half of
last year, the accident rate dropped
to 8 per cent from August 20 to No
vember 80. Moreover, during, the
three and one-half months since the
permit breakdown began there has
been an actual decrease of about 10
per cent in the number Of accidents
from the total for the preceding
three and one-half months.
These figures, while covering a
period too short for reliable gauging
of permanent effects, do offer a
measure of encouragement to those
who hope that the alarming rise in
traffic accidents can be checked by
stricter enforcement methods and
policies. Further results OF the
permit-suspension drive will be
awaited with interest by police and
public alike.

The AtIuntu Catastrophe

The horrors of the Atlanta hotel
fire are hard to comprehend. Com
ing only a few months after the
disastrous La Sale Hotel fire in
Chicago, the Atlanta tragedy inevi-
tably raises the question of whether
the public is being properly safe
guarded against fire hazards in the
hotel and apartment field.
The Winecoff Hotel, a fifteen-story
structure housing 285 guests in 1874
rooms, was built in 1918, when safe
ty engineering was far less advanced
than it is today. However, the hotel
was classed as fire resistant"
term which obviously offers little
guarantee of security in circum-
stances such as those which pre-
vailed at the Atlanta fire There
were no outside fire escapes. AS
was the case with the La Sale Hotel
conf1agration, the flames apparently
found little to resist their swift
course roofward, via stairWells and
elevator shafts, thus blocking es--.
cape by usual methods. Perhaps the
freshly painted corridors added in
tensity to the fire.
No doubt municipal and State
authorities will make a thorough
investigation to determine not only
the origin of the fire, but the reason
for its fearfully rapid progress and
the heavy toll of dead and injured.
Special attention should be paid in
every city to so-called "fire-resist-
ant" buildings of advancing age that
are used for human habitation. If
fresh paint was a contributing factor
to the spread of the flames, perhaps
building codes should be revised to
call for noninf1ammable paints in
certain buildings or parts of build
ings. (The Navy switched to such
paints during the recent war after
ship fires were found to be feeding on
ordinary paints.) II an outside fire
escape would have saved lives in
Atlanta, why was one not available
for the guests trapped on the upper
floors?
It is an unfortunate fact that
official action 20 avert disasters of
this kind too often begins after a
calamity has hit community,
rather than before. If there are
lessons to be learned from the Chi
cago and Atlanta fires, it behooves
public safety authorities everywhere
to study them and take appropriate
remedial measures without delay.

Bruins as Repurutions

It comes as no great surprise to
learn that many former Naz1 sclen-
lists are busily working for the
United States. In making this fact
official, the War Department has
merely confirmed what has been an
open secret ever since the collapse
of Germany. The same sort of thing
has been going on in Britain and
Russia. The brains that used to
serve the enemy now serve the VIC
tors-a kind of spoils, a kind OF rep
arations.
Of all reparations, indeed, these
scientists may prove to be by far the
most valuable. That is why they
have been offered special induce
ments to come to the United States
on a voluntary basis good pay, good
living conditions, good treatment for
their families in Germany, and
chance to become citizens eventually.
Chemists, physicists, engineers, ETC.,
can be taken as prisoners, but they
cannot be forced to invent and
create; honey of sort must be set
before them in exchange for contri-
buttons from their brains. Hence
their favored positions, even though
a great many of them appear to have
been faithful followers of Hitler.
The German scientists now with
us total 270 but will increase to 1000
as soon as transportation can be
arranged. Their immense value as
ssspoils" cannot be doubted. They
help our own scientists to avoid blind
alleys; on the strength OF their
greater experience in certain fields,
they are able to direct us away from
costly experimental steps which they
have already taken In rocket ex-
perimentation alone. according 10
the Army, they have saved American
taxpayers more than $3.50, ,0OO, 900,
and much more probably will be
saved as result of their contribu-
tions to our work in electronics. Jet
propulsion, metallurgy, etc. These
are reparations roughly equivalent to
our annual occupation costs around
the world, and they promise speed
up of from two to ten years IN our
basic research.
In terms of pure science these past
servants of Hitler thus are obvious
assets. But that does not mean that
they are automatically fitted to be-
come good Americans free to operate
in our industries and teach IN cur
universities, as many of them ap-
parently desire to do. Presumably,
before they are granted such privi-
leges, they will be screened with
special care. After all, although

Ho1V to Enjoy the Bible
By the Req. r. Paul Sc1edrrer, d D.,
Pastor OF the Takomd Park Presbyterian Church.

the classic literature of singular
people with rare genius for re-
ligion. But let us not forget that
before 1t was literature, 1t was life.
AS literature, the Bible offers us
various types. Some of its books are
historical or legal. Others are stories,
poetry or proverb. Still others are
great ethical discourses and pro-
phetic vision. Its biographical ma
terial Is simply incompatible. Take,
for example, the story of Joseph: The
whole world loves it. 1t can be read
in few minutes. It ought to be read
at single sitting to derive the most
enjoyment. So, too, the story of Jesus.
As told by Mark, it is very little
longer than the story of Joseph. Yet.
I am sure that not one person in a
hundred has read 1t without break
Because we read the Bible piecemeai,
we deny ourselves much Of the rich
ness it affords.
Since the Bible mirrors the whole
ganut of human emotions, we ought
to read according to our mood or
need. After all, those are the factors
that determine our other reading
choices. To illustrate: When dis
couraged, read Isaiah, 40; when
tempted, Psalm, 139; when bored,
Psalm, 103; when things go from bad
to worse, II Timothy, 8; when friends
fail, Corinthians, 13, when in sor-
row, John, a. The more we fit our
reading to our individual needs, the
more profit and enjoyment we shall
experience.
And this final suggestion. In ad-
dition to reading the familiar King
James version, use also one of the
newer translations. They more ac-
curately render the original text.
Their formal corresponds to that of
other publications.
We live in land of an open Bible.
It's teachings have been our light in
the past and are our hope for the
future. 1t is within reach of all. Why,
then, should we do ourselves the
wrong Of reading it so rarely or SO
mechanically? 1t merits our rever-
ence and praise, but its greatest
blessings are reserved for those who
have learned to enjoy it.
Evening star., 1946-12-08

Our treatment of the Bible is truly
amazing. We will do almost any
thing with 1t except read it.
We have a well-nigh instructive
reverence for it. We call 1t Holy"
However, the net result Of MUCK OF
our yeneration of it has been to keep
1t apart from our daily life.
We praise the Bible. It Is chief
among the classics. Alas, how it
shares their common fatel
We quote or as frequently mis-
quote--the Bible. It serves as an
arsenal Of arguments on every con-
ceivable subject. How severely 1t has
suffered from misuse by its friends!
We give handsome editions of the
Bible on all manner of occasions. 1t
is q ready and standard solution of
many gift problem.
If, perchance. we claim the right
to be numbered among those who
read the Bible, how many would need
to confess that their reading Of 1T
differs from their reading of any
other book? Some mechanical or
unnatural plan is followed such as
a verse, column or a chapter a

mystical or magical moral benefit
will ensue.
My thesis is that the Bible can
and should be read for sheer en-
joyment. To this end I would make
several simple suggestions:
First Of all, we must appreciate
what the Bible is: A book of life. 1t
records all sorts of human expert

draw figure in the broad sense OF
religion that might be accepted by
Christian, Buddhist, Mahommedan or
the follower OF any other creed that
recognizes the Creator Of the Universe
as its central idea. He did SO, and the
result is q figure which it Is believed
could not give offense to any one"
