President May Use
Civil Rights Com.
Report to Congress

Washington, d. c. - The report
of the Presidents Committee on
Civil Rights may be used as the
basis of a part of the message
on the state of the union which
the President will send to the
Congress at the opening of the
next regular session.
Mr.. Truman gave this infor-
nation to his press conference
last Thursday, but he made it
explicit that his meaning was that
it could be used, not that it would
be.
Asked whether he intended to
send the report of Congress, the
President replied that the report
had been made to him and that
it can be used as a part Of the
message on the state of the un-
ion.
He added that he had not read
it carefully yet, but it was a
good report.
The Inference was that he will
not bring the report officially 10
the attention Of Congress until
next January. Mr.. Truman said
his message to the special ses-
sion, which begins November II,
will be restricted to two things -
interim aid for Europe and infla-
ton and price control.
While he wants the Congress to
take up the question Of stop-gap
andto Europe first, the President
said the two subjects were equ-
ally important and are dependent
upon each other.
A number of bills to carry out
certain recommendation of the
committee, however, are expected
to be introduced when Congress
rconvenes.
Representative Emanuel Celler,
Democrat, of New York, said he
would offer bills when the spec
lal session assemblies, providing
for suffrage in the District OF
Columbia.

poses to introduce to carry out

When the angels departed,
the shepherds determined to
go to Bethlehem at once Ito
see this thing which is come to
pass" They came in haste to
Bethlehem, and found Mary
and Joseph, and the Babe ly-
ing in a manger. The hearts
of Mary and Joseph were
cheered by the unexpected
visit of the shepherds, who
told them Of the wonderful an
gelic message.
Having thus verified the an
gels announcement, the shep-
herds not only rejoiced that
they had found "the Savior,
Christ the Lord" but also
made known abroad the visit
of the angels and the message
given them. They were the
first missionaries to proclaim
to a needy world the birth of
the Savior. You can give to
others only what you, your
self, truly believe and live day

were transformed by this won
derful experience.

reason God singled out Beth
lehem as the place of the Saw
ior's birth was because the
Promised Messiah was to be
the Son, or SEED, of David.
Bethlehem was the place of
David's birth, the place where
David's youth was spent in
caring for his fathers sheep.
Also in Bethlehem, the ro-
nance of Ruth and Boaz, the
ancestors of David, took place.
The fulfillment of Micah's
prophecy required a special
Providence of God. 1t is for
this reason that Luke relates
the details regarding the de-
cree of Caesar Augustus. The
Roman Empire demanded sta
tistical register of the whole
empire, for the purpose of in
creasing his revenue and mill
tary force. In the overruling
Providence of God, it was re-
quired that Mary and Joseph
should travel from Nazareth
to Bethlehem.
