THE OLD LIGHT SHINES
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

The OLD LIGHT SHINES
Marsh lights dance enticingly all
around the horizon and many, many
are following them.
But the sun still shines, for all
who would walk in the day.
That is to say, there is clear
leadership for life, in this era of
confusion, in the explicit teachings
of the Bible. Nobody goes astray
until he closes his eyes to the light
that shines from the Book.
Never was there broader or more
practical or urgent need for study
ing the scriptures than today. A
knowledge of sure and abiding
standards; the habit of clear think
ing; an awareness of God and of
His will for our times, are to be
had from the time-tested Bible.
While prayer is our speaking to
God, Scriptures study is Gods
speaking to us.
We crave Thy forgiveness, our
Father, for our neglect of Thy re-
vealed will. Make us, especially
in these S~efogged and befuddled
days, children Of the book. Amen.

 Af Naval Air Station

rI
 SAN DIEGO, Calf, April l6.- Capt. Leslie E. Gehres, Naval Air station Commandant, has issued an crder banning outdoor loye-making for 10th civilian and Naval per- sonnel at the station.
 Speaking in the Islaneer, station paper, the Captain said.
 "There has been steadily grow ing public display of affection, commonly called 'necking,' on the part of some men and women.
 While everyone, including the Captain, will generally agree that, under proper conditions, this is an absorbing and pleasurable pastime, it is not generally considered an outdoor daytime sport.
 "In the case of persons in mili- tary uniform it is definitely un- military conduct. In the case Of civilians it is considered not in the best interests of the station and the station personnel 'Necking' in public on the station will here after be treated as disciplinary offense for both civilian and Naval personnel"

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHfNGTON-It is no secret that what worries the War Plans Divisions of the Army and Navy is the fact that future atomic bombs can be smuggled into the United States in suitcases. This is a known possibility that the Amer ican public should always keep in mind.
 In fact, the probable warfare of the future will consist of smuggling 20 suitcases with 20 atomic bombs into 20 key cities of the USA. Then the enemy would notify Washing ton that unless it yielded on cer- tain points by such and such a deadline, these 20 cities would be blown to bits.
 Both the Army and Navy neces- sarily have studied this possibility most carefully. That is their job, and higher-ups who are frank pri- vately agree that future intelligence regarding foreign nations is all- irnportant--also that the day is looming when big land armies and battleships may become as old fashioned as horse cavalry.
 In the last few days, however, Congress has made two moves en- tirely out of keeping with the trend of modern warfare.
 First, the House Appropriations Committee wiped out the State De- partment's appropriation for "in- telligence." in other words the unit which studies what other nations are doing. Second, the House Milf tary Affairs Committee has voted
