turn to the LISA of pr. Nils Bohr, Danish Nobel Prize winner and the father of modern atomic sci ence.
 They don't want it known, but the Army has also turned thumbs down on a visit by Jolliot Curie, Madame Curie's son, another atom ic scientist, on the grounds that they don't want American scien- lists talking to foreign scientists.
 Amazing thing is that the Army tates this view despite the fact that the atomic bomb discovery was made possible only by the contri- buttons of Italian, American, Ger man, Polish and Czech scientists. Without their collaboration, it's dis covery would have been impossible. However. the Army is now waging an intensive campaign to pass the fascistic May-Johnson Bill, which would permit the Army to go into any university and remove any pro- lessor, would even set up military courts in peacetime with precedence over civilian courts to put civilians in jail Hence, the present Army scare propaganda regarding con- sultation between scientists.

MEN FIGHT SHARKS

More than a thousand men were struggling in the water, many of them eaten by sharks. But it was not until a routine patrol spotted some survivors at 11:24 am, Aug. ?, three days after the ship sank that a search was started.
 Two months later, in October 1945, the Navy awarded Captain Granum the Legion of Merit with a glowing citation which read.
 For exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of out standing service. For the pro- lection of all shipping. The successful accomplishment of these tasks required skillful employment of ships and planes and exact knowledge of the locations of all shipping By his devotion to duty and through professional

HEART AND HOME
 Favorable planetary influences are active today with reference to the home and family. The blind, crip- pied and invahds are especially favored
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Free spending will continue for some time, but wise business heads will be on thealert for the first signs of increasing caution and dis elimination on the part of buyers. Consumers who are now accepting what they can get will soon be de- manding their moneys worth in both goods and services.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Special tax benefits for West ern Hemisphere trade corporations will be on the alert for the first short time. The move will have as it's primary purpose a tax cut Of approximately 50 percent to permit corporations qualifying under the law to compete with similar cor porations of other countries which are already favored by their na- tional tax laws.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Restoration of church edifices of all creeds in war devastated coun- tries will be financed by religious groups all over the world, but not until relief has been provided for those now in need of food and clothing in those countries.
 Those whost birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year ot happiness in the home with several favorable developments involving relatives and close friends.
 Children born on this day will have minds of their own but will not be adverse to guidance and counsel when given by those they respect. Too often they will act on impulse and follow the dictates Of their emotions. Their native good sense will usually prevail, however.

PERSONALS

Question: Dou you think that the Young Men or Young Wo- men are showing the most civic interest and progressive attitudes in the Hartford community. Signed Ruth.
 Answer: This writer believes that this question is based not on the employment of individuals but rather that the individual is con- cerned with the apparent attitudes of the young people, and for that reason answer the girls or rath- CT young women. I make this statement based on the discussions with other people, who point out that the club groups are made up largely of young women, secondly that women have demonstrated more of tenacious spirit in pur- suing community objectives, once they have been imbued with the spirit. The situation in Hartford, however, is improving very def intely on both sides.

Bay State Passes FEPCLaw

After more than four years of agitation and two years Of hard legislative effort, Massachusetts became the fourth state in the Union to have a fair employment law this week.
 The final chapter in the most thrilling legislative fight in this states recent history came We'd, when the last move of the House -mongers failed and the bill passed by the Senate on Monday, making it a criminal offense to bar a man from a job because of his race or religion, was given to the Governor for his signature. He signed it Thursday.
 The fight for the anti-bias leg islation had, an interesting history in this state. Agitation for such legislation was begun here even before it was started in New York State, first to adopt it. It came to little avail, however, until three years ago, when an unpaid com- mission in which Seaton Manning of the Boston Urban League ren- dered a report on the prevalence of discrimination in this state.
 Even after this report and it's attendant recommendations, how ever, official action was slow to begin. Hearings were finally held in the State House at which larg- CT crowds were in attendance than had been seen in that edifice since the days of .Abohtion. Out of their agitation bill finally reached the legislature, first of several to be offered.
 Last year vote was held on the bills; the most sweeping one of them was staunchly supported by the Catholic Church, many inter racial groups, and literally hun dreds of civic, social and religious bodies. This vote was passed through a severe footballing in a number of Senate and House com- mittees, finally passing the House. In the Senate a vote was held along strictly Party lines, the Re publican Speaker, Arthur w. Cool idge. finally casting the vote which killed it.

GOcaIly and Elsewhere,


 Bilbo awakens! Bilbo is begin ming to favor the Anti-Poll Tax Bill, for he now realizes what we have known for years: that the poll tax keeps more whites down than Negroes. The man, who would rather see the white race destroyed by the atomic bomb than to see social integration of the Negro into the white race, now wants more supporters of his white supremacy theories - what with the Negro awakening in the South.
 ******&**** It's all right to sacrifice to help others, but while we're proposing loans of various nations, the House has just slashed the funds of the Department of the Interior. The extent of the slash is such as to jeopardize a satisfactory func- tioning of the public utilities in some of our island possessions.

Cambridge Man Is Marine Hero

More than a month ago, Mrs. Ben M. Freeman of Cambridge re- ceived a wire from her son in the Merchant Marine. He told her that his ship had been wrecked, and he was all right.
 The wire didn't state that Ben, Jr., was the hero of one of the worst near-disasters of recent years;
 It didn't tell her that nearly 1,2o0 people owed their lives to her son.
 And # didn't explain that when the ship Georgetown Victory ran aground on rocks off the coast of Ireland last April 30, and was pounding to pieces while lying dangerously on it's side, and the hundreds of persons on it's decks expected to be blown to bits any moment from the terrific force of the ships might boilers -
 That it. was Son Ben who went down the steaming hatchways to the boiler-room and shut off the valves that saved twelve hundred lives.
 No, Ben's wire didn't say these things, but MT. and Mrs. Freeman in their Fayerweather Street home have been mighty happy since they learned them. And they've got a great big welcome ready for Ben when he comes home in another couple of weeks.

Through courses sponsored by the organization, the people of Philadelphia have learned that they must work in teamwork or fail. The training program has also taught the Phil adelphian what his neighbor is like; what it is like to be Catho- lie in Protestant America; brown in white America; Jewish in Christian America; and foreign, with slow plodding feet, in fast America.

Price Control Explained

l The Young Womens' Progress sive Hour of the North End Com munity Center had for their spea- ker Wednesday night, MT. Will liam Feine, who is the State Ex- ecutive of Information on OPA.
 MT. Feine spoke on Problems that are Current in America To- day."
 Price control" he said, "is one of the main issues of the day and is price control worth saving, the Iibig subject"
 In advocating the continuance of the OPA, MT. Feine related examples where the lack of price control has had decidedly averse effect o n the American public, such as the continual rise of com mercial rents and real estate.
 MPrice Control" stated MT. Feine has it faults. But without it the prices will surely go up. The clause in rent leases is an lopen declaration for what will happen if price control is re- moved"
 "If business men intend to lower or keep prices down." went on MT. Feine, 'there would not be so much controversy concern ing it. With price control, the consumer has always been able to count the cost and stability has been given to both consumer and merchant that would have otherwise been lacking"
 "It has aided the taxpayer in as much as it controlled the price of war materials" It has slowed down neither production and em- lployment which are at their high est level of any peace time year ir the history of our countryl
 <eAfter four years of denial, said MT. Feine, Shortages cannot be avoided. For the normal pro. duction cannot supply the terrific demaid; so competition, if price control was removed, would no force prices down. Only after higl prices had drawn off all the Ii quid money that is in Americ; today would prices be lowered Then" according to MT. Feine "no one would haze any none, anyway, businesses would collaps l and another depression would SC in."
 | MT. Feine explained the currei shortages thusly: lumber = lac, of heavy man power; meat = ba distribution and increased demand butter - no ceiling price oI cream; more fluid milk con stunned; butter companies out bidded by cheese and ice cream manufacturers.
 The OPA accept wage raises a the base for price rises providing good faith has been shown by tn, company seeking the price rise. K "And," promised, MT. Feine "just as soon as the Price Contro Act is settled, meat and othe. items will be plentiful" In closing, MT. Fein paid trib . ute to Marian Anderson, whom h, stated, "has one of the warmes personalities he has ever known and who has been of invaluabI, assistance to him in his man, OPA rallies.

Through divine inspiration she then made her discovery accessible to all. In the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scripture" our Leader wrote down the rules of healing which she had gleaned through rev. clation and faithful Bible study, and had practically proved in rais- ing the dying to health, This text book in no way takes the place of the Bible, but rather clarifies and illuminates the inspired Scriptural writings.
 The vital point, then, is to un- derstand God so completely that doubts and fears give place to calmness and assurance. It is not enough to say to one who is terror stricken, You must not be afraid. v It is necessary rather to realize the ever presence of Gods power so fully that the reason for fear is removed. It may seem to the new student of Christian Science that we simply ignore sickness and in harmony, because the beginner does not understand the prayerful req soning process through which we evaluate discords and remove them from human experience.
 The Christian Scientist begins with God as the only creative cause CT power, the one true Mind; and reasons from that perfect cause to perfect effect, the real spiritual man, the likeness of Spirit or Mind.
 We are witnessing through the teachings of Christian Science the same sort of spiritual healing which was performed by Jesus. Many turn to this Science after their case has been pronounced hopeless, or after years of unavailing effort to secure ether relief, and still the percentage of cases healed through scientific Mind- healing is very high indeed. Even though some may hesitate to place their trust unreServedly in God, let us rejoice in the fact which Christian Science is proving daily, that there is no such thing as mcurability-"with God all things are possible Matt. 19;26( :.

LECTURE GIVEN ON
 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 HERE LAST EVENING

A lecture on Christian Science entitled Christian Science: The Divine Plan for Meeting Human Needs, was given last night at the Capitol Theatre by Will B, Davis, c. &. of Chicago, Illinois, member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist. in Boston, Massachusetts. He was introduced by Harold u Sverdrup.
 The lecturer spoke substantially as follows:
 As we Icason from the s,and- point of the good which is manifest cd about us, it is easy to conclude that there must be a supreme, all governing intelligence, Mind, or Gcd with a beneficient plan for His children. But if our thinking does not go beyond material appearances we soon begin to ask ourselves why discord, sickness, lack. and un- happiness seem also to be prevalent in human affairs.
 Our reason tells us that our lov- ing Father Mother God must have a divine plan of progress for His universe; but the material picture often seems to be far from good plan.
 The Promised Comforter
 Tt was the mission of Christ Jesus. our great Way-shower, to eX- plain to mortals that the spiritual and good are real and eternal, whereas, the inharmonious and material are not what they seem to be, are not true. are not included in the divine plan.
 "Wa think of Jesus as the most inspired. capable. compassionate. thoughtful man who ever came to this earthly sphere His disciples quite naturally developed a personal attachment for him Even though he kept turning them to God as the fountainhead. the one all -crea- tive intelligence, which he was com missioned to make known to them, his followers looked to him for en- lightenment, inspiration, and heal ing. So finally he had to say to them. Tt is expedient for you that I 20 away: for if 1 go not away, the
