The Bible is a textbook not only
q individual salvation, but also Of
family religion.
When the Philipp:an jailer Acts
80, terror-stricken lest his prison
ers should have escaped, but re-
assured by the voice of Paul, cried
What must I do to be saved?"
Paul replied, believe On the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house" Other ref
erences in the New Testament are
TO the salvation Of a whole house
hold.
But family religion had dep
roots in the Old Testament, and
n the Jewish literature were many
III receipts, giving wise counsel to
parents, and setting forth the
duties of children, thus estab-
fishing with clearness the condi-
tons OF family welfare and a
happy home-life.
Some of tn e choicest of these
precepts constitute our lesson. 1t
ought to be noted how strongly
they stress the law and command
n ents. my son, keep thy fathers
commandment. and forsake not
the law of thy mother" There
must be standards of right, and a
sense o. responsibility, if there are
to be sound relationships and
happiness in the home.
The acceptance of %parenthood
without an adequate n of re-
sponsibility is lie root Of a great
deal of home breakdown and trag-
edy today. A first essential of a
good home is good parents. What
can be expected of children, if
their parents do not set them a
good example? Moreover, precept
end teaching are not enough, for
children will soon detect insin-
cerity, and the worst Of all counsel
We could give to our children
would be to say, Don't do as
&c, but do as l say"
Train up a child in the way
he should CO." is the Bibles in
junction to parents, with the as
surance that Wher he is old ne
will not depart rem it. Alas!that
assurance is not always justified,
for many influences are upon the
child, as well as those of the home,
end too often they break down and
destroy what the home has sough:
to do. But without proper training
a child has little chance at all, SO
that exceptions in reality do not
nullty the law that good training
brings good results.
The most acute Of our social and
religious problems Of today are as
ISOLATED with home and family
Life. With an Increasingly large
proportion of marriages ending in
separation and divorce, we are
facing ominous times. And most of
the proposed remedies are doing
little to get at the causes.
The principal cause Of the break
down is the lack of regard for law
and COMMUNICATING failure to
observe the rules of what is the
most important game of life.

Truman Policy Statement Held
Delaying Accords on Germany
Russians Try to Show Unconcern at Moscow
PorIey, But Await Vital American Decision y
By NewboId Noyes, Jr.
sfor StoH CORRESPONDENT

MOSCOW, Mar. 15.-The great
question about the peace nego-
tiations taking place here is now
this: How are they affected by
President Truman's foreign pol
icy declaration of dast Wednes-
day?
There is no hint of an answer in
the record of the three Council
sessions which have taken place
since the President spoke. If there
has been any reaction from Russian
Foreign Minister Molotov, it is only
that he has behaved more politely
in the last few days than Russian
representatives normally behave at
conferences of this sort.
The silence is somewhat eerie.
Of course, the Russian press is
having its say about Mr.. Truman's
message. Some visiting correspond
ents have sent excited stories about
the violence of this comment. But
veterans here are emphatic in their
assurances that, as Russian press
comment goes, this has been a balmy
zephyr rather than a blast. AS one
diplomat and sportsman put it

gloves"

Fear of Russian Pressure
Seen Behind Aid Appeals

P.-Fear of new Russian pressure

Greek and Turkish appeals for
financial aid from the United States.
Spokesman for both countries con-
tend they must have immediate as
sistance if they are to remain
bulwarks in the Mediterranean

A government spokesman in Is

UPWA Battles New York Bill
Bonning Strikes Against State
By Joseph YOUNG

The CIO United Public Work
ers of America, which last year
was forced by congressional ac-
ton to forbid strikes by its men,
bers against the United States
Government, is leading the fight
to prevent enactment of legisla-
ton outlawing strikes by public
employees in New York State.
For several weeks, UPWA officials
have fought bitterly in the State
Capitol at Albany, to defeat the bill.
Their chief ally has been the Trans
port Workers Union. The State
however. passed the bill
on Friday and Governor Dewey is
to sign 1t.
In a last ditch effort to block en-
actment, union leaders yesterday
petitioned Gov. Dewey for public
hearings before he signs the bill.

bid Federal employees in UPWA to
strike, the union is strenuously
battling to preserve the right Of Its

pened, and nobody here doubts that
sooner or later, for better or worse,
it will vitality affect the Big Four
efforts to solve the problems of what
to do about Germany and Austria,
How in truth, could it fail to af-
feet them? Greece and Turkey were
only incidentally involved in what
happened Wednesday,. The mill
tary aspects of the implied program
also were incidental. Mr.. Truman
asked America to throw her econom-
ic power into the job of making the
world a decent and strong enough
place for democracy to live in. He
called for a complete change in
Americas role on the world stage
This necessarily implies, of course
a complete change in our position in
respect to Communist Russia.

Proponents of the bill have

UPWA officials say frankly that
the only reason they adopted the

of Federal employees was because

Report 10 Truman Aids Greece, Turkey
Question to Be Submitted
For Answering by High
Officials in Hearing
By the A.soeialed Press

Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio yesterday called for an Of
fetal size-up on whether Russia
may declare war if the United
States gives financial and mill
tary aid to Greece and Turkey.
II want to know what our top
military people think of the posi-
bility that Russia will go to war
if we carry out this program" he
said, "just as we might be prompted
to go to war if Russia tried to force
a Communist government on Cuba. F"
He raised the question amid these
fresh developments:
1. President Truman made public
messages Of thanks from spokesmen
for all Greek parties except the
Communists. The President said
they show that all will cooperate
unreservedly with the United States
Government in it's desire to assist
Greece" and that they pledge the
aid will be devoted to constructive
rehabilitation and the cause of
peace and freedom"
2, Key members of Congress pre-
dicted that Hungary and four
Middle East states - Iran, Syria,
Lebanon and Palestine-may seek
American aid under the administra-
ton program of curbing the advance
of Communism. These legislators
estimated the ultimate cost of the
program may top 100000, 900.
3. Willard Thorp, Assistant Sec
retary of State, declared that the
United States is underwriting
Greece because its people are demo-
cratic, but that this country's re-
sponsibility will cease if they take
some other line"
Mr.. Truman has asked $400, ,O00, 600
for Greece and Turkey this year. In
reaching the 1000, 900 900 estimate,
the legislators counted in $3.50 .000,-
600 already requested for relief in
liberated countries and the sums
budgeted for relief in occupied
lands, as well as an undetermined
amount of expected new requests.
The messages from the Greek
leaders were released by the White
House along with a statement from
the President, who is vacationing at
Key West, Fla, until tomorrow.
They came from Prime Minister
Demetrios Maximos, head of the
new coalition cabinet, and Themis-

Albanian Mines Case
Sent Back 10 Council
ByU.N. Subcommittee
Security Group Expected
To Pass British Charges
To International Court
By the Assecioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N, Y, Mar. IS.
Great Britain's laying
charges against Albania were
tossed back to the United Ma
tions Security Council tonight
without recommendations by a
three e-nation subcommittee.
Indications were that the council
would deliberate again and then
pass the case again-this time to
the international Court of Justice.
The, report was submitted after
two weeks of questioning witnesses
and studying evidence surrounding
the damaging of two British de-
stroyers by mines in the Corfu
Channel last October % with loss
of A lives. The British said AL
bania laid the mines. The Albanian
government denied the charges and
in turn accused Royal Navy ships
of invading it's territorial waters.
Little New Evidence Found.
The subcommittee, including Co.
lombia, Australia and Poland, said
In the report that it found little
new evidence and suggested that
the council would have to determine
whether there actually was a mine
field in the channel and whether
Albania laid such field before TAX
ing any action. The posing of these
questions plus numerous legal COM
plications prompted the impression
that the case would end up in the
Hague Court.
Sir Alexander Cadogan, British
delegate, was reported ready to
resist any reference to the court
without some kind of prior decision
by the council. When the case comes
up Tuesday, he was expected to
renew his original demand that
Albania be found guilty and apollo
gize and offer compensation for
loss of life and property.
The subcommittee said the council
first must decide whether the three
following basic facts can be con-
