Scholars Complete Simp|ifed
Translation of New Testament

Eliminated from the text of the
sixth chapter of Matthew, and
placed in footnote, is the final
verse of the Lords Prayer, "for thine
is the kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, forever, amen"
1t was believed this was done on
the ground that the manuscript
authority for it was doubtful.
Another change is that glory to
God in the highest, and on earth
peace, goodwill toward men," Luke
2:14, becomes glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace among
men with whom He is pleased
The older version is in footnote
The Rev. DR.. Luther A. Weigle,
dean of the Yale University Divinity
School and chairman of the Amer
lean Standard Bible Committee, the
revising group, said in an introduc-
ton that use of the new version
would be left by most of the major
Protestant denominations to the
preference of the individual church.
Publication of the new version
has been timed to coincide with the
opening Monday of the annual
meeting of the International Coun-
Gil of Religious Education at CO.
lumbuS, Ohio.
The first official copy will be
presented to Harold E. StasSen,
president of the council.

Hollywood studio.

Spaatz into office was based on spe-
cial orders issued this morning as
signing him to the acting post
pending congressional approval
President Truman recently an
nounced he intended to name Gen
Spaatz as Gen. Arnold's successor.
For newsreel listeners, Gen. Spaatz
said:
The Air Force of today is YES
terdays air force, but we must keep
1t in being until we have perfected
the air force of tomorrow. Even
now, we are recruiting and training
capable personnel and devising i'm
proved technical methods in order
that the Army Air Forces will re-
main as modern and as strong as
possible in order to meet any
emergency that may arise"
Gen. Spaatz formally will become
commander of the AAF when Gen
Arnold's terminal leave expires in
June.

Buying of flour became brisk
Thursday. the day after the Pres

such point that some stores and
one chain grocery ordered limita-

more than their neds. You can't

few days showed more excitement

Long Battle Is Seen
As PauIey Persists
In Fight for Post
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

A long drawn-out battle over
the Pauley nomination was in
prospect for Senate Democrats
today, in view of the determina-
ton of Edwin w. Pauley, Oil man
and former treasurer of the
Democratic National Commit
tee, to stay in the fight for Un-
dersecretary of the Navy despite
reliable reports of probable de-
feat.
The hearings, which were recessed
suddenly several days ago after Sec
retary OF Interior Ickes dealt the
nomination its hardest blow, are
tentatively scheduled to be resumed
early next week, but Chairman
Walsh of the Naval Affairs Commit
tee admitted there may be further
delay IN resuming the testimony.
AneSher member of the Naval
Committee said he had heard the
hearings would be put off another
week. These reports reflected the
uneasiness which has developed in
Democratic ranks over the nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Ickes testified that Mr.. Pauley
told him in September, 1914, that it
would be bad politics to file a suit
claiming Federal title to submerged
coastal oil lands, and that Mr.. Pau
ley could raise $500, 900 for the Demo-
cratic campaign if the suit was not
pressed.
Mr.. Pauley denies the Ickes' testi-
mony, and President Truman has
rallied to the defense of the nomi-
nee by suggesting that Mr.. Ickes
might be mistaken. Mr.. Ickes, how
ever, told the committee he made a
memorandum of the conversation
shortly after it took place.
One influential Democrat on the
Naval Affairs Committee said today
that the only prospect for an i'm
provement IN Mr.. Pauley'S chances
Tor confirmation rests on whether
he can offer any further rebuttal of
the Ickes testimony.
May Hear FOrtas.
Mr.. Ickes said Abe Fortas,
former Undersecretary of Interior,
was present when the Ickes-Pauley
conversation took place in 1914.
This Senator said much may depend
on the testimony of Mr.. Fortas, if he
is called.
Even If Mr.. Pauley receives a IA
vorable report from the Naval Com
mittee, which is not certain now, re-
liable Democratic sources still say
they do not believe they have the
votes to confirm him.
This is congressional election year
and there are 81 Democrats among
the one-third of the Senate seats
at stake in November. The prospect
OF floor fight over the oil issue in
relation to the Navy is especially
dlsquieting to these Democrats. The
Republicans may be expected to line
up almost solidly against the nomi-
nation.
Some of the Democrats up for
Reelection would rather not have
to vote in the nomination. One re-
liable source pointed out that they
are in the position of not wanting
to desert an administration nomi-
nee, but feeling that to support it
Will give their opponents campaign

secular paganism that clutches the

signed the letter as members of the
department asked the President to
use "all your prestige and authority"
to stop the project.
Pointing out that 1t was estimated
that the program would cost $780,
