An Anglers Education
n the st. Louis Post Dispatch

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Pennsylvania State College is offering
full course in the principles and tech
niques of fishing which, as Izaak Walton
long ago pointed out, is strictly in the
interest of liberal education. Or it
should be. Success will depend upon
the thoroughness OF the scholarship, and
whether sufficient attention is given not
only to principles and techniques. but
also equipment. And what is the
anglers equipment?
He requires an imagination that moves
faster than flying trout, patience that
outwaits a calico bass and, for of mo-
lnents, the power of contemplation that
makes the passing hours leap to the
virtues Of having next to nothing to do.
Such things old Izaak dealt with. But
there is one other absolute essential
which should be taught along with fly
tying and casting. That is how to pro-
cure q certain amount Of equanimity
to be on hand when the creel is full of
nothing but hope.

Difficult Standards OF Cbristiauit1
By the ReD. Earl L. Harrison, D. D.,
Pastor OF Shiloh Baptist Church.

toms. Eating and drinking together
is the needles eye" through which
I God can pull camel but through
which we find it difficult, almost i'm
possible. to pull fellowman. if he
happens to belong to another caste,
creed. race or nation.
A second dif1cult standard of
Christianity is Its philosophy of
social justice. We just cannot bring
ourselves to accept and practice the
Christian doctrine of fairness to
others. "All things whatsoever ye
would that men do to you. do ye even
so to them" may be the low of the
prophets, but it is too difficult for
the most Of us to practice in our
relation to others. Christianity
teaches that all men are brothers,
and If brothers then should be
treated as members OF the family OF
mankind. My brother must have the
right to work and earn livelihood
for himself and family on the basis
Of his skill and ability instead of
his race, color, creed or nationality.
Every man must be free. He must
be free from want, free from fear,
free to think and speak his thoughts
and free to worship God according
to his own conscience.
II \
Another difiicult standard Of
Christianity involves our attitude
toward our enemies. The natural
inclination Of humanity is to pay
back in kind. To give an enemy as
good as he gave is ones first, natural
thought. In the world which Jesus
lived, to hate an enemy was SO ele-
waited as to be almost obligatory.
But Christianity said then, and it
says now, Love your enemies, bless
them that curse you. do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you, and
persecute you" This indeed is a
difficult standard. and our natural
disposition makes it even more diff
cult to attain.
Hate Is the worst possible form of
retaliation. It is like a sharp two
edged sword. 1t cuts from both
sides. 1t cuts the victim and it cuts
the victor. This would be a much
better world to live in if we all
could make our uncertainty into a
certainty that we are wrong to seek
reco,npcrse or revenge from a real
or imaginary foe 1t is always better
to acknowledge our limitations
"cheerfully. To accept your limita-
'tions means victory. E. Stanley
Jones frequently says: Surrender
your powers to do something beyond
yourself and your powers will be
heightened"
These and many more Of the
standards of Christianity are diff
cult. We have failed to measure up
to them but we would not have them
lowered. We still must strive to
accept and practice the social atti-
tides of our Christian faith We
must hope to win a fair and just
attitude toward all peoples. We must
pray and work for the grace and
Christian attitude we should enter
tain toward our enemies, if we would
have peace and abiding prosperity in
our world

Mr.. Trumun Must Speak

In suddenly poStponlng his Carib-
bean cruise because of unnamed
Developments" President Truman
has effectively dramatized what
appears to be critical moment in
the evolution of American foreign
policy. The developments" pre-
sumably revolve around British in
tentions to withdraw from Greece
and the Greek governments urgent
appeal for help from the United
States. According to authoritative
reports, the situation is such that
our Government must now make
without delay-one of the most
momentous decisions in its history.
In such circumstances the post
ponement of the presidential cruise
is altogether understandable. If
matters are as grave as generally
represented, Mr.. Truman could
hardly have permitted himself to
leave this country for relaxation in
warm waters 1t is measure of the
has decided to stay home and hold
a historic conference tomorrow with
fifteen congressional leaders repre-
senting both parties. Not in long
time has there been quite such an
atmosphere of seeming crisis.
Although it has been reported up
to now only in piecemeal, general
lied and highly speculative fashion,
the situation apparently adds up to
problem that may be summarized
as follows: Cd Economically and
otherwise, Britain Is so hard-pressed
that it is incapable, by itself, of
carrying out its commitments in
Greece; (2) unless we take unprece-
dented measures to help out, the
present Greek government will COL
lapse; 90 in that case, Communist
regime would almost certainly take
over and tie itself in with Moscow;
a. such a development, in effect,
would complete Soviet dominance of
Southeastern Europe; go in long
term sense, the Russians thus would
flank the strategic Dardanelles and
Turkey and be in a position to
control the Eastern Mediterranean,
extend their sway over the whole
Middle East and profoundly trans
form the balance of power in that
crucial part of the world.
1t may be assumed that all these
and similar considerations will be
explored fully at tomorrow's White
House conference The decision
involves the question how and to j.,
what extent the United States
should whether it should
project its power half way across the
world to bolster the Greek govern
ment with money, military equip
ment, technical advisers, etc, in
order to prevent the advent of
Communist regime and the incor-
poration of Greece into the Soviet
orbit. There is the further question
"a portentous one-of how Russia
will respond to all this if we decide
to 60 ahead with it at a time when
the great powers are supposed to
be trying to work out a general
European peace settlement in
Moscow.
Until the Nation hears directly
from the President on this subject,
in detailed, clear-cut, straight
forward manner, the American peo-
pie will have a confused view. The
authoritative interpretations have
been too incomplete to date, too
indirect and generalized, to promote
the shaping of sound and we'll
informed public opinion. The queS-
tions at issue seem so pressing and
far-reaching that they demand the
fullest Qualification. To that end,
an early statement by Mr.. Truman
is indispensable.

8. Recreation department operation of
such facilities would cost the District
taxpayers more money than they now
spend on recreation despite the fact that
The Recreation Board is authorized to
operate such facilities by charging fees

Recreation officials counter:
l. The city isn't ready yet to accept
unsegregated swimming, tennis, golf,
ETC., no matter how much the Interior
Department feels it ought to- There
fore, the Interior Department should be
willing to modify national policy in the
interest of community accord.

to perform maintenance work it didn't
have the personnel to perform, but
would arrange for maintenance with the
District Repair Shop or In Its own
organization.
3. 1t would not cost the taxpayer more
because OF their authority to use re-
volving fund, a privilege denied the park
Office. GSI. they point out, must turn
half its net profits over to the Treasury
Department and may transfer recrea-
ton profits to cafeteria losses.
In short, the two agencies have
reached an impasse and are getting
slowly nowhere with the problem.
Therefore. Congress would be doing
the Capital service If it takes adyan-
tage of the present opportunity to settle
the argument one way Or another.

Tr- eligious faith of people has
much to do with their ideals ard
moral standards Of living. It is the
measuring rod Of their civilization.
It sets the character goal to which
they aspire in their daily living. BY
religion, I mean those accepted prin-
ciples affecting ones attitude and
conduct toward ones God and to-
ward ones fellowmen. In Chris
tianity such rules have been an
nounced by its God and interpreted
and made manifest by Jesus Of
Na.c.--..::t1. the Christ--its Founder,
But ere are certain standards Of
hun- 'slationships set up by Chris
tiar -'hich the average processing

his living. The rejection or

due, yes no question as to
whet .ey are right or wrong,
instes revolyes around self
intere. .om ones own point of
view. - all, in America, more or
less accept Christianity as the best,
the greatect and only true religion.
We would not want to live where its
influence did not give at least q
glimnler Of coloring to every area
Of human activity. We believe that
our faith and practice Of the Chris
tian principles have made US a great
and peaceful, peace-Ioving Nation,
4
The first difficult standard of Chris
tianity I shall mention is its stand
ard of social ethics. Christianity is
a social religion; it is brotherhood
1t concerns itself about people and
their welfare. 1t is religion of love
and good will toward all men. It is
unself1sh. 1t finds the good for ones
self in the good of others. It's ideal is
oneness among men; oneness of mind,
Z ''of one accord" and seeking for a
common need. It believes in sharing
with others, and in living together
with and for other people.
The Founder of Christianity began
His public ministry at marriage
festival, social affair. in Cana of
Galilee. But it was more than a
social gathering; it was the gateway
into new home and the home is
the foundation of society. 1t was
here that Jesus first demonstrated
His divine power by turning water
into wine. BY that act He blessed
and continued the festive joys of
two people who had vowed to build a
new home and also demonstrated the
social character of the. kingdom. His
presence hallowed the marriage vows
and sanctioned the home which is
also a social institution. HE came
eating and drinking"
Jesus second public act was the
cleansing of the Temple where He
had gone to worship. Therefore, "He
came eating and drinking" and wor-
Shipping with other people. These
are the two most difficult points of
contact to most of us in our religious
relations. To eat and drink at the
same table, to worship in the same
pew with those whom we consider
not our social equals is very difficult
with the majority of us American
Christians. 1t is at these points that

Boost in Governors 'spay Gefs Opposition; Bill 10
 Up Commissioner Pay

WASHINGTON, May 13.-tRl--- After the Interior Department $ endorsement of an increase from $l0,000 to $15,000 in the salaries of Territorial governors yesterday, Chairman Crawford (R-Michl of the House Territories subcommittee declared:
 I'll have to te sold on this bill. I have no sympathy for pro- posals to raise salaries of Federal officials above that of members of Congress where the responsibilities are no greater"
 The increase proposal applies to governors of Alaska, Hawaii, Puer- to Rico and the Virgin Islands. Irwin w. Silverman, chief of the Division of Territories, brought the endorsement of the Interior De- partment, which was supported by Delegates Bartlett of Alaska and Harrington of Hawaii.
 The subcommittee will consider 1t further at later date
 Crawford, meantime, announced appointment of three attorney members of the subcommittee to study bill providing increased compensation for U. s. Commis- sioners in Alaska.
 The three members, Reps. Engle D-CaliD, Taylor (R-NY) and Dawson CR-Utah), will confer with Bartlett on the proposal.
 The bill would increase the commissioners maximum compen- sation from $3,000 to $5,000 a year to be collected from fees, and provide guaranteed minimum of $200 month for 46 of the 68 Alaskan commissioners.
 Bartlett estimated the increase cost would not exceed Sl00,000 a year.
