George Bernard Shaw replied this
week to a 22-year-old North Carolina
Bible students advice to "stop run
ming from God and the Bible"
The Bible, Shaw retorted, is mot
book but q literature; and like all
literature it contains not only wise
doctrine and inspired poetry, drama
and edifying fiction, but is mischiev-
Gus and superstitious."
What is more, Shaw added, there
are five Gods in the Bible, and there
are many Bibles in the world, ancient
and modern. have written part of
the latest Until the Kingdom of
Heaven is within you, you will search
the Scriptures in vain"
The Irish wit and playwright wrote
to Alfred Stanford, a student at the
Piedmont Bible Institute. Winston
Salem. The student wrote to Shaw
last fall. He was worried over the 91-
year-old Shaw's soul because of re-
ports that Shaw had sold his wife's
ugly" Bible.
Shaw wrote that he had plenty of
Bibles left. He added: 81 do not

an honor graduate of Langston Uni

was rejected by the University Of
Oklahoma Law School, which has not
accepted a Negro student in its 56
years.
The Supreme Court ordered Okla
hOma to provide her with equal and
immediate opportunities with whites.
The state opened a special law school
for Negroes in Oklahoma City.
Mrs. Fisher reapplied, however, at
the University of Oklahoma in Nor

again for help.

Harold E. Stassen will take on Sen.
Robert A. Taft in the Ohio Republi-
can primary May A.
The former Minnesota governor re-
vealed that Taft sought vainly in a
midnight conference to dissuade him
from entering his home state.
Differences between us on foreign
and domestic policy represent the
major issues within the Republican
Party" Stassen said. at is important
that the people have an opportunity
to express their views on these prior
to the national convention in June"
Politicians read into Stassen's de-
cisiOn a confidence born with collapse
of the Eisenhower boom. Since the
Army chief of staff declined to be-
come a candidate, most of the Hesitate
Eisenhower League has swung to him.
Stassen declared he would have
preferred the test to come in some
other state.
An earlier test of Stassen liberalism
against Taft conservatism in Ne
braska April IS apparently would be
incOnclusive since almost everyone
who's amounts to anything in the COP
presidential race is likely to be in it.
This is the result of a campaign to
get all of the announced aspirants, as

Sen. Arthur Vandenberg and Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, into the Nebras-

Saga
Bread on the Waters


Konstantin Fink, American mer-
chant marine skipper during the war,
sent food package this week to a
German submarine skipper.
Five years ago, he commanded the
Star Of Scotland, sunk off South
Africa. While Capt. Fink was destroy
ing. valuable papers, his inexperienced
l6-man crew put off without him. The
U-boat picked up Fink and took the
lifeboat in tow.
The sub commander realized the
green crew would Lever make land
without their skipper. He released
Fink after the American promised
never to command another ship
against Germany. The prisoners also
were given food and water.
Fink kept his promise. Since it did
not include Japan, Fink shifted to
cargo carriers in the Pacific and
served there throughout the war.
Last week Fink, now a resident Of
Costa Mesa, Calf, received a letter.
1t was from the former submarine
commander who is a metal worker
at Bonn, Germany. It read
DO you recall that although my
orders were to take you prisoner, for
the sake of your men I allowed you
to 60 free and we shook hands, say
ing that after the war we may be
friends?
Il shake your hand with this letter
and tell you that there is so little
food here and it is difficult to care for
my wife and two children. Perhaps
you could remember our friendship
pledge"
Said Capt. Fink: ''War is war and
there were all kinds of men in it.
He was a sailor"

DIVISION of Europe into east
II ern and western blocs neared
reality in the first month of 1948.
Arguments for protective ma
tional blocs were advanced, in the
west, by disclosure of the secret
Nazi-Russian pact of 1899. No world
citizen, if the United States could help
it, would remain ignorant of it. The
State Department broadcast the story
in many languages, including Russian,
over its Voice of America stationss
Secret protocols to that non-aggres-
sion treaty split up Europe between
Germany and Russia. Premier Stain
demanded and got part of Poland,
Estonia, Latvia and Bessarabia.
The Soviet Sphere
Russia's price for actually joining
the Axis was to be extension of her
sphere over Finland, all the Balkans,
Iran, and the bases thanking the OAR
danelles. Hitler broke that pact by at
lacking Russia in 1941, but Russia
gained much of what she sought from
the Nazis through victory with the
Allies.
What Russia did not gain by war,
she has tried to take over by power
politics. Greece, the sole remaining
nOn-COmmunist Balkan country, is
currently before the United Nations.
The Security Council has not forgot
ten the Iran incident. TheDardanelles
problem is slated for Big Three dis
cuSSion.
The time is ripe for consolidation
of western Europe, declared British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin be-
fore Parliament. He proposed a west
ern bloc in conjunction with the Mar
shall Plan as a means of putting
Europe on its economic feet and op-
posing further Soviet expansion.
The speech marked a shift in Brit
ish foreign policy No longer did
Whitehall consider Britain a mediator
between Russia and America. Bevin
officially placed Britain beside the
United States in the current cold
war"

Oil Pinch

ON THE day after Christmas,
~ the east was blanketed un-
der 25.8 inches of snoW-worse
than the Blizzard of 1888. Since
then 1871 inches have fallen for a
total of 43:9 inches, more than in
any full winter since 1933-34 (52.5).
Low temperatures have kept pace.
The third cold wave within a fort
night moved into the north central
part Of the nation this week as the
: death toll Of the second, still gripping
the east and south, reached so.
With almost tWo-thirds of the win
ter still to come, the nation already
faces a fuel shortage.
New Yorks emergency fuel CO.
ordinator, Charles Sells, said the state
needs so per cent more oil fuel. A
Brooklyn gas company cut off for
day 1880 homes heated by gas when
freezing weather Overbutdened its
capacity.
Shivering Ohio
The Ohio Fuel Gas Co. serving half
the state, asked gas-heated theaters,
halls, tavernI, schools and churches
to close for the duration of the new
est zero wave. Home owners were
urged to keep temperatures under 65
and close of unused parts of their
houses. The company cut off gas to
factories.
The Michigan Consolidated Gas Co.
suspended gas to industrial users in
the Detroit area. The suspension will
continue until next Tuesday.
a fortnight ago New England hos
pitfalls were loaned 100000 barrels Of
OIL from Navy stores. The Maritime
Commission has rushed 40 to so tank
ers from its reserve fleet into opera
ton to aid the fuel-starved coastal
states.
Petroleum. experts say a gasoline
shortage may result next summer
from conversion of more crude oil
into heating fuel at the. expense of
gasoline quotas
Synthetic Oil Program
The oil pinch, both present and flu
ture, was felt in Congress this week
with simultan sous. proposals for an
immediate embargo on exports and a
S9,OOO,00O,000 long range synthetic oil
program.
Interior Secretary J. A. Krug, in
formal report to Congress, urged the
earliest possible construction of a
synthetic fuel industry to make the
United States economically and milf
tarily secure.
1t should be undertaken now when
the country is at peace and completed
over a period Of FIVE to ten years" he
said
It is clear now, Krug declared, that
the nation cannot meet its future
liquid fuel needs from petroleum
alone. He said government subsidies
probably would be necessary to en-
able private industry to carry out the
program. The goal would be produc-
ton Of 100000 barrels a day.

synthetic fuels program as a possible
solution to the heavy increases Of do

Mr.. Nishimoto Clipped off a
