casion, but they failed to under

There is much pious patter heard
today which strangely echoes the
conventionalism of the three friends

They miss the central truth that

ing out of the inscrutable will of
God. Jesus met this situation in
the case of the blind man whom
He healed, when the curious apos-
ties sought to learn whether the
man had sinned or his parents.
Jesus gave them a glimpse of the
greater purposes of God. OF the
millions who have died in the recent
war, shall we say that they were
thereby punished for their personal
sins and shortcomings? There are
larger truths to be uncovered here
than our poor brains have yet
found out. ..
Our present need is to get a con-
sciousness of the living Father pur-
poses of God in the universe over
which He is regnant. The greatness
of God is the central truth under
lying all other truths.
Some folk talk and act as though
God were a mere errand boy, to be
directed by their personal and
Short-sighted whims. They call
upon Him for all kinds of trivial
chores which they should be doing
themselves. Usually Gods inter-
vention comes into play when mans
powers fail. And He always weaves
larger pattern than the eye of
man can trace.
This great and lofty book of Job
deals with the problem of human
suffering, and 1t portrays the vast
ness Of the purposes of God behind
the experiences of man. Somehow
or other We all must learn the
greatness as well as the goodness
Of God. He will not accept little
place in life. The Power that es-
tablished the universe will not
yield to dethronement at the hands
of human conceit and ignorance.

Vishinsky, Facing Appdr- enf Defeat, 10 Make
 Battle, LIN Session

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 27.--R-
 Fighting from a tough minority position, Russia showed every evil dence today for forcing it's war monger" attack on the United States to complete showdown in the United Nations while staving off as long as possible apparent defeat on such American backed issues as Greece and the veto.
 Andrei Y. vsshinsky. Russias deputy Foreign Minister, repeated and expanded at news confer ence the "warmongers" charges he made before the Assembly on September 18.
 Moreover, there were indications that firm Soviet position on Palestine may now be emerging which would be critical of British policies but not necessarily in dis agreement with the final decis- ions of the United States on this issue, which is being handled by Secretary of State George c. Mar shall with extreme caution at the moment.
 As the Assembly's second week drew to sose one thing had become clear: Two weeks of debate and scores of speeches had pro- duced no grounds for compromise on any of the major issues. The split between East and West was wider than ever. Among some delegations there was considerable uncertainty as to whether the United Nations could he made to work effectively on the principle of ersality-inclusio of all "peace-loving nations"
 Vishinsky made clear at his news conference yesterday that Russia intends to press its "warmonger' case to the limit
 In a 3,0o0-word statement, vish- insky asserted that John Foster Dulles. close adviser of Mar shall, greatly influences the foreign policy of the United States and that the policies of Dulles would lead to war with Russia. All 'instigators" of war. Vishinsky argued, ought to be "enchained"

HIGHWAY LAND FOR
 VETERANS
Secretary of Interior Krug Makes Announcement
 on Homesfeading

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 - R- Secretary of Interior Krug has ord cred 2,750,OO0 acres of unsurveyed public lands in Alaska opened to homestead settlement by World War II veterans effective October 2. The land lies along both sides of the Alaska Highway.
 Krug said that under regulations veterans priority on the land vii extend to February 2, after which it will be subject to settlement by tle general public.
 Priority rights for veterans al- ready have been provided in con- nection with the homesteading of surveyed tracts along the highway. An order of July l, 1947, which made the lands along the Alaska Highway available for use under the public lands laws, said that the major part of the area is "unsuit- able for agricultural purposes.
 Veterans must actually settle on the land to obtain title. However, they will be given up to two years credit for military service in meet ing homestead residence require ments. With maximum credits. it is possible for veteran to establish his right to homestead by only seven months residence.

PORTLAND. Ore. Sept. 27,-iR-- A powerful campaign to force early action by Congress on so-called "so- cial" legislation was mapped today by Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) as an apparently integral part of his ex- pected bid for the l948 Republican presidential nomination.
 Despite his forecast of opposition by other Republicans. the Ohio Sem ator stood committed today to lead drive for legislation to expand old age assistance, increase unem- ployment compensation, construct public housing and provide State administered Federal aid for health and education.
 All this, Taft told an audience of Republican Club members at Gear hart, Ore, last night, may cost the Federal government $1,000,0 100000 a year.
 Conceding tn at the after-war budget situation may force mod est beginning" nevertheless Taft said he believes the Republican Party will and should proceed with these measures in the next session. !"

Shrimp patkers, Seiners and
 TroIIers Made Appearance af
 Fish Hearing at Petersburg

There was considerable discussion of tye issue brought up in the after noon session at Craig Wednesday of using salmon for bait and fur ranch feed. Craig fishermen ac- cused halibuters of taking salmon illegally for bait.
 Halibut fishermen say they take some salmon for bait during. the open season only, but they are un- opposed to objections suggesting a change in the statutes to prohibit the use of salmon as bait.
 Both trollsrs and halibut men here are aroused over the increasing her ring reduction, and are asking that restrictions be placed upon herring fishermen to limit them to catching only for human consumption and bait.
