Plan Mapped 10 Keep
vandenberg' S Name
Before Convention
by me AssoeIoisd Press

Michigan Republican leaders were
reported today to have hit on new
strategy for keeping the name of
Senator vandenberg before the Re-
publican National Convention.
This plan-unless it Is upset by
the States April Republican con-
vention-calls for skipping any for
NAL nomination but holding Mich
igan'ss41 votes lined up behind the
Senator.
The idea would bs to wait for q
break in the lineup of announced
candidates.
Since his name would not be
mentioned in the formal speech
making, supporters think Senator
Vandenberg would not feel called
on to declare again that he Is not
a candidate.
Spontaneous Swing Seen.
Then II a stalemate develops,
thes hackers argue, the convention
will be used to hearing Vandenberg
votes cast. They think a spontan-
eous swing might start in the
Michigan Senator's direction.
Senator Vandenberg himself was
said not to have been consulted
about this plan. Those who want
him to run say he has kicked them
in the political pants too many
times.
The latest boot was reported to
have been an admonition against
promoting him for convention key
noter, a post for which he has been
mentioned frequently.
1t Is Senator Vandenberg's view,
these followers said, that talk has
been so persistent despite his re-
peated statements he isn't q can
didate that it wouldn't be fair to
those who are running If he &C.
cupied the keynote spot.
Will Attend Convention.
Senator Vandenberg will be on
hand in Philadelphia for the con-
vention. But his aides carefully
picked q hotel where there are no
presidential candidates headqusr-
terS. And the Senator himself says
he will be only an interested spec
tator.
The plan to keep Michigan's votes
lined up behind Senator Vanden-
burg in the early balloting was re-
ported to have the tacit approval
Of those supporting Gov. Dewey of
New York.
Gov. Dewey, as q native of Mich
igan, hopes eventually to inherit the
States support. But he will keep

Iowa Air Director
Says Planes Keep
Youth on Farms

DES MONIES, IOWA. - Robert
Locke, director of the Iowa Aero
nautics commission, reveals that
there are $500 farmer-aviators in
Iowa, a large portion of whom
have their own, planes.
THE airplane is having very
definite effect on keeping our
young men and women on the
farm" Locke claims.
IA plane takes the monetony out
of farm life," he explains. ''The
city no longer is as far away as
it used to be, even with automo-
biles. And a plane has its social
advantages as well as its practical
benefits -
Among the young folks, the farm
owned plane has been useful in
some relatively long distance court
ships.
A farm youth in one corner of
the state can schedule weekend
dates with girl who lives in the
other.
The oldsters as well as the
youngsters are taking advantage
of airplanes. A farmer now can
leave his place after morning
chores, fly to a distant lake to fish
and be home in time for evening
milking.
There's a lot of that being
DONE" Locke says.
Many farmers have landing IA
cilities in their pastures and have
their own small hangers.
1.-THE airplane is making life on
the farm in Iowa a lot easier"
Locke said, land the. use of a
plane is becoming more and more
practical.
''The average flying farmer
makes about 100 trips month to
cities near or far for parts or sup
plies. In the harvest or planting
seasons he uses his plane more
times than that"

Michigan Medical School
Reduces Childbirth Pains

ANN ARBOR, MICH. - Child
birth pains are just an old wives
tale to 80 per cent of the mothers
who have babies at University Of
Michigan hospital.
The hospitals maternity ward
makes extensive use Of caudal anes-
thesia, which virtually eliminates
pain while the mother remains
awake all during the birth process.
DR.. Raymond L. Haas, assistant
professor of obstetrics and gyne-
cology at the university medical
school, pointed out that caudal
anesthesia is entirely different from
spinal anesthesia, an alternate
method of reducing labor pains.
''In caudal anesthesia, the drug
is injected in the lower end of the
spine and blocks the nerves to the
organs of birth. In the spinal meth
cd the drug is. put directly into
the spinal fiuid," DR.. Haas said.
DR.. Haas said caudal anesthesia
is not routed through the lungs and
does not interfere with either the
mothers or the baby's breathing
process.
Use of caudal anesthesia has not
become extensive because of the
special training required to admin
lister it, DR.. Haas said.

One Theme

TOR all the vast variety of the
Bible, there is in it a deep and
lofty unity. 1t is bound together
by its mighty purpose. which
throbbed in the hearts blood of
every man who wrote line of It.
That purpose is to make God real
to man, and to bring man to God
The writer's of the Bible may have
had their lighter moments, but they
did not write these pages then.
They wrote under the ire
sistable impulse, born of the
Holy Spirit, to make plain to
other men what God had re-
veaIed to them.
So as you come to the Bible, re-
member its purpose is not to make
you admire or revere it as a book;
its great purpose is to be trans
parent, a window through which
you shall see God.

OUCH popularity must be de-
- served. There are many reasons
why the Bible continues to be, year
after year, the aI-time best seller.
But one of the reasons is its i'm
pressive variety. It is not one
book, it is library of books. What
ever your mood, whatever your
need, there is page in the Bible,
somewhere, for you.
A Christian will try seriously
to appreciate the whole Bible
and not merely one or two parts
of it. Yet there is such variety
i'm it that invariably some per.
sons are attracted by one fea-
ture of it while another fea-
ture makes stronger appeal to
others.
Our studies these next three
months will be in 1.-The Literature
of the Bible" and leach week we
shall be noticing different feature.
This week we give a thought to the
tremendous variety of the Bible,
along with its underlying unity.
Many Types
T OOKING through the Bible you
~ find all varieties of literary
types; you find poetry and prose;
stories, essays, sermons, biogra-
phies, dramas; rhapsodies, love
songs, funeral dirges and battle
hymns.
Here are pages as prOsaic as
a telephone book and here are
pages more exciting than any
fiction. Here are simple,
straightforward ideas that
child can understand as soon
as he understands the words
and here are mysteries so pro-
found that the worlds mightiest
and boldest minds shrink back
in awe.
The Bible is not like piece Of
music played on one single instru-
ment, like "a tune on a piccolo; it
is more like an immense symphony
the more often we listen to 1t,
the more we hear in it.
