AUTOMOTIVE:
Ford Prices

Prices Of the new Ford cars will
not reflect increased production
costs, Henry Ford II, top man in the
Ford automotive dynasty, told deal
ers from II states in session at Chi
cago.
Ford said that higher coal costs
mean higher steel costs, which total
about $40 for each car produced.
The buyer, however, will not be
asked to pay the extra $40.
The auto maker disclosed that
new passenger car models may not
be introduced until 1913, although
new truck models may be brought
out later this year.
John r. Davis, vice president and
director Of sales and advertising,
predicted that it would be two or
three years before the car market
will be free enough so that buyers
can get an automobile on demand.

Racket:
Training Hit

DR.. Allan Bates, a Chicago scien-
tist,. testified before house armed
services subcommittee that univer-
sal military training has become ga
vicious political racket" and will
be ''a horrible cancer on the United
States"
He cited the fate of European ma
tions in the last war, declaring that
despite assurances from their top
army leaders that universal train
ing would safeguard them from in
vasion they all fell before the Nazi
blitzkrieg.
AS an alternative to universal mil
itary training, Bates said the United
States should concentrate on
strong striking force, a large air
force, strong reserves and well
organized national guard, all backed
by adequate scientific and industri-
al research.

High |. Q. Helps

Contrary to popular supposition,
child prodigies do not inevitably
wind up as skid-row deadbeats or
forlorn, clerkish gnomes Shaving
their lives away in penurious OBJ
security.
On the contrary, as a general
rule it pays to be gifted, according
to DR.. Lewis M. Terman, Stanford
university psychology professor,
who has studied 1,40O child prod
igies since 1921.
Results of his investigations led
him to conclude that if one has an
10 of 40 or higher, chances are he
will hold a better job, be better
educated, have a higher income
and better health than the average
person. And, all other things being
equal, he will be just as happy in
his relations as anyone.
Prospects of prodigy's becom-
ing world famous, however, are
small, although greater than the
average mans. DR.. Terman said
the attainment of world eminence
is mostly matter OF (not genius)
luck.

Said 1t Again

Prof. Albert Einstein, backed by
other noted members of the Fedora
ton Of American Scientists, warned
once more that human security
can never be assured until the
world has been made safe for
atomic energy"
The scientists appealed-on the
second anniversary of the Los Ala
mos atomic bomb explosion-for in
ternational atomic energy control
through the United Nations.

He strongly implied that the pres
ent congress should undertake the
immense, long-range task before its
adjournment. A number of senator's
Immediately threw their support
behind the Presidents proposal.
In general, the construction pro-
gram as outlined by Mr. Truman
would provide coordinated system
of storage reservoirs in all the ma
jor tributary basins of the Missis-
sippi, coupled with levees, flood
walls and diversion channels to pro-
tect cities, towns and farms in
those basins.
Also, he proposed that soil con-
servation measures be put into eff
feet farther up-river on the tribu-
taries of each major basin in order
to retard the flow and run-off Of
waters from heavy rains and re-
duce topSO1l loss.
Mr.. Truman recommended har-
Messing the flood waters for produc-
tive use, adding that "the major
opportunity of our generation to in
crease the wealth of the nation lies
in the development Of our great
river systems"
Despite the urgency Of Mr.. Tru-
mans message, it became rapidly
apparent that congress was disin-
clined to pass any flood control leg
islation during this session. Also,
house appropriations leaders were
said to be clutching the federal
purse little tighter when the tre-
mendous project was mentioned.

War Again

AS additional troops were sent up
to reinforce both the invading leftist
guerrillas and the Greek govern
ment forces, the swiftly developing
battle in the rugged heights Of
northern Greece began to take on a
cast reminiscent of the Spanish
civil war.
The war ministry disclosed that
six strong guerrilla units had been
concentrated along the Albanian
and Yugoslav frontiers Of Greece
and that all were poised to join the
original invasion force of 1000
which government troops had SO
far been able to repel.
Napoleon Zervas, defense minis
ter, told a press conference at loan
nina that several of 20 prisoners
taken by the defenders were unable
to speak Greek and wore the Red
Star insignia of the Soviet Union.
In the meantime, a war depart
ment announcement said that one
invading force Of 1000 had been
gripped In pincers nine miles
from Albania and that battle of
humiliation was in progress. A Sec
ond column was halted in its drive
toward Ioannina and surrounded by
the government troops.

The scheme will put the current

plan will apply also to all necessary
travel expenses, including cash for
clothing and equipment needed for
vacation trips. Payments for tickets

No down payment will be re-
quired, nor will any collateral be

ways or to a travel agency and
apply for credit. A routine credit
inquiry will be carried out within
the ensuing "a hours and the appIi-
cation approved or rejected.

Ron Discusses Church
And Bar Relationships

Why an avowed enemy OF the
christian religion should ex-
press horror over the fact thai
II. City's first religious meeting
was held III the same building
that has bar is quite beyond
our understanding. To us that
attitude smacks of hypocrisy and
.sef-rightousness. The apprecia-
ton of M. c. folks goes to the
owners of the building, who
kindly provided a place for the
meeting.
After all, our Redeemer was
born in a lowly stable where the
angels of Heaven and the wis
est Of earth considered it a bless
ed privilege to assemble in ador-
afion. It is not the place, but
the message which counts.
A community without a church
= unbalanced. Man has a spirit
ala1 nature which must be cared
for along with his material in
4erests, also he makes an uratic,
1op-sided growth which units
him for both time an deternity.

dust something that was develop
ed in M. City's men, women, and
children will still endure. And
that is Christian character!
