If people and nations are to learn
to live together in peace, that learn
ing must begin in the home, says the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America. Families which
practice good neighborliness and cul-
tivate acquaintance across national
and racial lines help to bind the
world together in fellowship" says a
recent Council statement. Homes in
which world problems are discussed
sympathetically and in which prayer
is offered for people in all lands be-
come promoters of world understand
ing. -. If we think of other people
as families with their ties of love,
their needs and their aspirations, we
shall be less likely to be forced by
events to think of them as foes seek
ing to destroy u.s."

BUDAPEST, May l5.-A single
bank note worth one billion pen
goes went into general circulation
yesterday as Hungary's inf1ation-
wrecked currency plunged on in an
apparently winning race to equal
nothing.
Before the war, when five pen

previous currency-would have been
worth S200,O0O,0O0.
Today, with the dollar bringing
$500, 900, 900 pengoes, it is worth less

The average worker is reported
to earn about dollar month. The

solidarity in the face of an in

party.

chief of staff, as head of the new
Ministry of Defense, and Chen
Cheng, the Minister of War, to re-
place Ho Ying-chin as chief of staff.
