all the English tranSlations, it docs have some flaws and faults. From the literary point Of view this ver- sion stands apart from and above all others. The simple, sonorous style. the rich, rolling eadences of SO many familiar passages, the gene eral loftineSS of tone and the revers ence of spirit, which characterizes this version have endeared 1t to succeeding generations. But 1t must be said we are dealing, not only with a classic of English literature, but with the Word of God. There are ancient phrases which fall strange ly on modern ears. There are words that have lost or changed their meaning. There are all too many proven inaccuracies.
 More Exact Versions
 It must be admitted that the Eng fish and American Revised Versions did not fulflll the hopes and eXpec- tationS of their sponsors. Beyond all question these revised versions are more exact in their translations. As a matter of fact the criticism has been that the scholars were too lit- eral. too exact It was said, and with good warrant believe. that the Revised Versions were strong in Greek, weak in English Almost anyone who has tried to use either the American or the English Re- vision has lamented the awkward ness of some of the phrasing and most keenly when he had the King James Version alongside for conn parison.
 Again 1t is simply a matter of recognized fact that new knowledge with regard to the Scriptures has come to the fore these last sixty or seventy years and this new evidence makes almost inevitable another at- tempt to revise the text of our Eng fish Bible. The King James Version was based on 6 Greek text printed in 1898. Many new manuscripts of the Scriptures have been found since that date and some notable ones since the middle of the last century. Moreover the archaeologists have discovered and diSciphered within the last fifty years an amazing body of Greek papyri. Greek letters, wills, business documents. business ac- counts, and what not, what were re- corded about the First Century A. D. You may say, What has this got to do with the Bihle2' Curiously enough. it has not a little to do with our story. Once the scholars went 10 work on these seemingly com monplace relics of the past they dis covered something that might be called a new key to the Scriptures. They found that the Greek of these documents corresponded almost ex- actly to the Greek used in the New Testament manuscripts What the scholars used to think was 'Bibli- cal Greek" in contrast to the classic Greek of the Athenian philosophers and dramatists was simply the Com mon Greek, the "Koine,' of the Eastern Mediterranean world at the time of Christ. The scholars have been able to throw new light on many an obscure word or passage

A spokesman for the building ma

|GIover Park Youngsters Impress
Parents as Citizens Unit Leaders

Thirty-five enthusiastic teen-agers
OF Glover Park conducted their par
ents' monthly citizens association
meeting last night and so impressed
the adults that they we're voted a
juke box to be purchased by the
association.
The juke box is to be used at the
bi-monthly dances to be conducted
this summer by the Recreation De-
partment at Stoddert School.
The youngsters were invited to
take over the meeting in the first
place, as Coast Guard Comdr. Leo
T. Robbins put it at the beginning
OF the meeting, because the citizens
OF Glover Park have long felt that
youth has an active and often con-
structive interest in the problems of
their own communities.
All Between Ia and II.
All of the young 'citizens' were
between the ages of IA and II. They
elected their own officers, conducted
their own meeting-and threw out

Junior officers elected were: DON
aid Brothers, II, president; Roy
Schlemmer, Is, first vice president:
Robert Mcmillan, IT, second vice
president; Joan Ray, Is, secretary; ;
Bob King, Is, treasurer, and VIII
liam O'Brien, II, sergeant at arms.
Richard Markham, IT, pointed out
that the only playground in the
area Is at Stoodert School and that
the older boys do not go there as
general rule because they are not
allowed to play hard-ball or tackle
football. Mrs. Aline Williams, direc-
tor of the Stoddert School play
around, informed the group that
this ruling is in effect because the
playground is situated on the
grounds of an elementary school and
is therefore managed by the District
recreation Department rather than
the Department of Public Parks as
are some larger Fairgrounds in other
areas.
Many Suggestions.
Each member of the teen-age
audience appeared to have some
suggestion as to improving the play
ground situation, so the president
appointed a committee to make A

can pay wages high enough to at
tract the workers they need.
However, under the recently re-
established priorities system for
housing, most materials becoming
available will be channeled into
homes costing $4,000 or less. Some
officials believe that if ceilings on
materials were removed prices
might go so high builders would find
it difficult to construct houses to sell
for $4,000.

Eisenhower in Ottawa
Pleads for Unse|fish
World Cooperation
BY the Associated Press.


OTTAWA, Jan. 10-Gen. Eisen-
hover appealed today for unselfish
international cooperation to main
tain the peace and save the world
from chaos.
Such cooperation, necessary to
assure the success of the United Ma
tlons Organization, can be achieved
only If every nation realizes that its
very survival may be at stake.
Gen. Eisenhower declared in a
luncheon address broadcast to
Canada and the United States.
Citizens Must Take Part.
Nations that joined together to
defeat ruthless enemies have even
greater reason to remain united for
the peaceful settlement of their
differences lest new Hitlers rise to
throw the world into a chaos more
awful than the shattered countries
OF Europe present today" he said.
That is what we squarely face"
1t is up to the ordinary citizen,
however humble" to take part in
this task, Gen. Eisenhower said.
Governments may wisely deal
with the problems which rise in our
concerted search for peace" he
continued, but in the end it will
be the citizens of all countries who
must outlaw war.
Until the peoples of the world
understand and respect the interests
of their neighbors, the victory will
elude us. Until the peoples of the
world embrace the democratic belief
that the dignity of the individual
is the basis of the success of nations
the world will not find an enduring
peace"
Canadians Are Praised.
Gen. Eisenhower, on a four day
visit to Canada, warmly praised the
Canadians who fought under him.
singing out for special commenda-
ton the role they played in the
clearing of the Scheldt Estuary to
open up the port of Antwerp in the
closing days of the war. 1t was a
great accomplishment" and the
greatest climax" of the many
Canadian missions, Gen. Eisenhower
declared.
The historic Canadian assault on
Dieppe early in the war, in which
there were $3.50 casualties among the
5000 participants, taught Allied
leaders important lessons which
were put to good use later in the
war, he said.
LET no one tell you that the
Dieppe affair was devoid of valuable
results" he said. Il know of no
other single incident that did so
much to confirm convictions that
the coastal Notifications in France
could be successfully preached on a
large scale"

BowIes Urges Delay
In Ending Subsidies
To Block Price Rise
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, JR.

BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, JR.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles has written Sterilization
Director John C. Collet suggesting
that. his Office consider revising Its
timetable for eliminating Govern
ment subsidies on food items.
Officials who know his views say
Mr.. Bowles has asked that food
subsidies be continued beyond dates
tentatively set In program drafted
in November.
The price chief is reported to have
pointed out that few of the antic-
ipated declines iI food prices have
materialized since Judge Collet an
nounced last November a schedule
for ending all subsidies by June.
Bowies Concerned Over Prices.
Accordingly, Mr.. Bowles is said to
be concerned over the threat to the
stabilization program as food prices
tend to push the cost of living index
upward.
Mr.. .Bowles made it clear yester-
day that he was opposed to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Anderson's pro-
poSal for an immediate 6-cents-a-
pound increase in the retail price
OF butter as a means Of increasing
production. In a brief statement,
replying to inquiries on the proposal,
Mr.. Bowles declared:
"OPA is vigorously opposed to any
increase in the price of butter. You
can make that as strong as you
like"
The entire subjects of subsidies
was to be discussed at meeting to-
day of Judge Collects Stabilization
Advisory Board Members include
Mr.. Bowles, Mr.. Anderson and Off
cials of other agencies concerned
with stabilization. The, Anderson
proposal, which would result in an
eventual 18-cent increase in butter,
also was, expected to be discussed.
Subsidy Removed in November.
The Government removed a SUBJ
sidy to butter manufacturers last
November, increasing the retail
price S cents a pound. The latest
report of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tlstics showed slight increase in
the living cost index for Washing
ton. The report blamed the rise
partially on the increased price of
butter.
In his November announcement.
Judge Collet left the way open for
revision of the schedule lifting war
time subsidies. He stated that the
program was subject to reconsidera-
ton If developments showed the
cost of living would be affected ad-
yersely.
One official in Judge Collects Of
flee said it was his personal opinion
that the program should be modified
and that under the present plan in
creased costs to consumers are in
evitable
The feeling in November was that
food items not subsidized would be-
gin dropping in price and that this
would offset any price increases of
foods being freed of Subsidies. To
date, these declines have not oc-
CURED and some Government econ
omists are predicting there will be
no downward swing in prices before
spring.
