right doctrine is "the root prin-
ciple" of right living. The pa
gan world knew but little of
right, consistent living, because
it had not the right concept Of
God and His plan of redemp-
ton as set forth in the sacred
Scriptures. Jesus alone, because
He was "God manifest in the
flesh," gave the pattern of
perfect life. 1t should be the
sole purpose of the ministry,
through the preaching Of the
Gospel, to raise the standard
of right living in the Church
to ever higher levels.
Faith in God alone is the
fountain head of right living
in the individuals life, as we'll
as in the home and nation. Je-
sus said, IA tree is known by
it's fruits" and the believer will
give evidence of his love for
God by exercising true love
toward his neighbor and by
doing good at every oppor-
tunity. Perhaps the most strik-
ing example of extending help
to others is seen in the parable
of The Good Samaritan. There
is much need of emphasizing
this phase of the Christian life
in the Church.

In order to guard ones in
fluence for good, the believer
is to hold himself "aloof from
foolish disputes and genealo-
gies and quarrels and wran-
glings about the Law, for they
are useless and vain"
Paul outlined the course to
be taken with reference to
those who seek to make trou-
BILE within the church by their
false teaching. Our Lord also
outlined the course to be fol-
lowed in dealing with an err
ring brother. First, he should
be admonished privately; then,
in the presence of witnesses,

then, an appeal should be
made to the Crurch. Only al
ter these measures have prov
ed Useless is the wrongdoer to
be regarded as ga heathen."
Paul designates one giving
forth doctrinal error in the
Church as "an hereto" who
after repeated warnings and
admonitions have proven fu-
tile, must be cut off from fell
lowship in the Church. Such
an one "'has gone astray and
is a sinner self-condemned."

In closing this epistle, Paul
makes some personal requests
for the welfare of the Church
at Crete. Titus is asked to join
Paul, at Nicopolis, west of
Athens, where Paul expected
to winter; and Paul planned
to send ARENAS or Tychicus
to take charge of the work in
Crete. For some unknown rea-
son, Titus was to bring with
him Zenas the lawyer, also
Apollos, who had become an
influential teacher of the Cos
pei in Corinth through his con-
tact with Aquila and Priscilla.
Before leaving Crete, Titus was
to admonish the members of
the Church 'to follow honest
occupations for the supply of
their necessities, so that they
might not live useless lives"
Each saint of God should fill
a useful place in the Church.
After a few final words of per-
sonal greeting, Paul closes the
epistle with the beautiful
words: "Greet those who love
us in the faith. Grace be with
you ALL"

The word Classification" in
the Scriptures has a twofold
application: first, with refer
ence to the sinners relation
ship toward God being restor-
ed and maintained; and, Sec
ond, with reference to our re-
lationship toward our fellow
men being rightly maintained.
The sinner is justified before
God by Christ's atoning sac
rifice upon the Cross, without
any works of. his own. How
ever, the only way others can
know that a man is justified
before God is by his giving evil
dence of his faith in God by
his works. Abraham was JUS
titled before God when He
obeyed Gods call and went out
solely by faith; later on he
was justified by his works in
the offering up Of Isaac. Faith
in God always demonstrates
itself by works in a practical
way; for faith without works
is dead" Paul declared it was
not sufficient for a believer
merely to have the right con-
cept of Christian doctrine but
in addition he must manifest
his faith by his Christian con-
duct.

"this is a faithful saying"

England Halts Rising Wages And Profits

LONDON (P)-The British gov ernment called today for a halt on increased wages and profits. IL was a move to check imitation.
 Prime minister Attlee's labor government issued a white paper saying:
 Tt is essential that there should be no further general increase in the level of personal incomes without at least a corresponding increase in the volume of produc- ton.
 Unless we are prepared to check such a tendency, we shall find ourselves unable to fulfill our export task, owing to the rise in costs, which will be reflected on the home market"
 The pronouncement urged strict adherence to collective bargain ing, with workers and employers observing terms of agreements Loyalty.
 'In present conditions and until more goods and services are avail able for the home market" the white paper continued, there is no justification for any general in- crease of individual money in- comes. The word general was em- phasized.
 The statement said exceptional cases for increased incomes will be considered, particularly when it is necessary to build up the staff of an undermanned industry contributing to the national inter ests.

3,OOO,OOO German Workers Strike

HAMBURG, Germany, (P) - Nearly 3,000,006 German workers went on a 24-hour hunger strike yesterday. The walkout stalled in dustry in the entire British zone and the State of Wurttembergba- den in the American sector.
 Three simultaneous strikes be- gan at midnight over an area reaching from Hamburg to Stutt- ,gart. It was. the greatest mass demonstration of this type yet held in Germany.
 Streetcars and trains stopped running at the appointed hour in Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Mannheim, and other major cities of Wurt- tembergbaden. In factories night shift workers left their machines
 Only vital utilities continued to operate.
 About 100000 workers were involved in the Wurttemberg. baden tie-up. The strikers adopted the slogan the 'unequally laden table," In both zones the walk outs appear to be aimed against German food officials rather thar the occupying powers.

Senate Sidetracks Tax Slash Bill

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Sen ate put the Republican tax cutting bill on ice yesterday.
 The bill may stay in the cooler for two months or more. And when it does come up for a Senate vote, it probably will call for less than the $6,56O, 100000 cut over whelmingly approved by the House.
 The COP measure rocketed through the House Monday by a 197 to l20 count. That is l9 votes more than the tWo-thirds majority needed to override a veto.
 Action by the full Senate prob ably will be delayed until after vote on the Marshall plan for Flu ropean recovery. This may put off a final tax showdown until April.
 COP Senators said they mus. hold the revenue loss to some where near $4,5OO,OOO,OOO to get the Democratic votes necessary t0 override an expected Presidentia. veto.
 Making the taxcut a six-month affair would take S3,25O,OOO,00 off the taxpayers bills for l948. But that might not satisfy the Democrats over the long run be- cause they estimate the House measure will cut federal revenues total of S7,1OO,OOO,OOO in the 12 full months after July l.

Asks U. $. Warships Not To Visit Italy

WASHINGTON, (P) - Italy is reported to have suggested infor- mally to the United States that it would be politically smart to ease up on visits of American warships to Italian ports.
 The presence of United States Mediterranean fleet units in Ital- ian harbors recently has been at tackled by Russia. Italian Com munists have been making politi- cal capital of it.
 A struggle now is getting un- derway between Communists and non-Communists preliminary to the Italian general elections in April. The Italian government doesn't want the warship visits to become an issue.

Truman May Seek Running Mate
 From Solid South

WA s H INGTON, (P) - Politi- clans wondered today whether the cries of Dixie Democrats outraged by the racial issue might influence President Truman to choose a southerner as his running mate.
 The speculation among some Democrats here runs this way:
 1. The revolt against MT. Tru- mans 10-point civil rights pro- gram may never bring about the electoral college results its spoh- sors predict, but it could hurt the President in border states.
 2. The late President Roosevelt was sufficiently concerned in l944 by an even weaker Dixie protest to toss Henry Wallace overheard. He picked MT. Truman, a Missou rian, for the vice presidential nominee.
 3. Someone like House minority leader Rayburn of Texas could be chosen without serious offenSe to either racial or labor groups in the north. He would give southern Democrats voice at court.
 The politicians who talked of these things emphasized that they are only speculating. President Truman alone knows how serious ly he regards the southern com plaints. His party leaders are in- clined to discount them.

PA Pilots Report Flares In Atlantic

NEW YORK, (P)-Pilots of two Pan American World Airways planes early today reported sight ing a green flare and a white life raft in two separate Atlantic ocean areas between 655 and 750 miles south of Bermuda, spokesman for the air line said.
 No signs of life were seen, pi- lots of the two planes said.
 The sightings were reported six days after the disappearance of a British South American Airways plane, carrying Sir Arthur Con- ingham, British air hero of World War II and 28 other persons, on a flight from the Azores to Bermu- da.
 The air liner was a four-engined Tudor W. Its last radio message was sent when the plane was about 380 miles east northeast of Bermuda.

Partition COmmis. sion Will SOOnCO To Palestine

LAKE SUCCESS, (P) - The United Nations Palestine partition commission will send an advance party into the Holy Land, possibly within 10 days.
 A source close to the five-nation commission said the party would go to Jerusalem first to lay groundwork for the splitup of Pal estine.
 The commission made the deci- sion yesterday but did not decide on the composition or date of en- try of the group. It was stipulated however, that the party would not include any of the delegates A U. N. official said the move from here might be started within 10 days.
 Sir Alexander Cadogan, the British delegate here, told the commission previously he would agree to sending ahead small staff of one or two persons. At the time, delegates raised an immedi- ate objection to the small number. Cadogan hinted the issue could be worked out.

Political Mountain

If any one needed a reminder, and
surely no one does, that political cam
paign is under way, the exchange be-
tween President Truman and Senator
Taft would serve the purpose very ade-
quately.
The Ohio Senator, presumably at the
instance OF Chicago newspaper publishers
and In their presence, called two assist
ants to the General Counsel Of the
National Labor Relations Board to his
office He gave the lawyers pep talk about
the Importance of the case against the
International Typographical Union, which
Is on strike against the Chicago publishers,
and expressed the belief that it was up
to the Government to see to it that the
union obeyed an injunction which had
been issued against it.
When the ITU found out about this a
protest was sent to the President. That
the union should take a very dim view OF
Senator Taft's procedure is understand
able The publishers would have felt the
same way If the situation had been re-
versed. At the least, there was certain
indelicacy about the incident and it may
be that Senator Taft preached the pro-
prieties.
But it is hard to believe that the matter
would have attained it's present stature
If 1t were not for the fact that an election
is to be held six weeks hence. After all,
Senator Taft, as coauthor of the law under
which the proceedings against the ITU
were initiated, has a legitimate interest in
seeing that 1t Is enforced. And not many
people will differ with his belief that the
Government should see that the injunc-
ton is obeyed. The fact is that in en-
tirely too many instances, unions have
fiouted injunctions, and without evoking
censure from the President.
The fairest appraisal seems to be that
this is one of those campaign-year mole
hills that grow into political mountains.
In commenting on the 1TU' complaint =
NLRB General Counsel Robert Denham
denied that there had been any unwar-
ranted pressure by Senator Taft, and said
that the accusation was artificial smoke
and no fire" That is an observation that
would apply as we'll to the subsequent
developments.

Russia and Five Boys

When part of last Thursdays massive
Communist demonstration In Berlin
spilled over in the Russian sector, the
soviet-controlled police pounced upon
number of German youths and dragged
them away. Five of these-none older
than twenty-have now been sentenced
by Red military tribunal to spend the
next twenty-five years OF their lives IN
prison at hard labor, probably In the Icy
desolation of Siberia. Apparently, since
no avenues of appeal are open to them,
they have nothing to anticipate but the
likelihood of slow death.
And what did the five do to deserve
such a fate? According to their captorS,
they hit heavily armed Russian soldiers
tore down a Red flag and were "respon-
sible" for the death of boy demonstrator
who had been struck by shots fired not by
them but by Soviet troops or Soviet
controlled policemen. The sentencing trl-
bunal has not made clear just how the
evidence was obtained to prove their
"guflt" or how it happened that they alone,
out of a vast throng of 250000, were seen
committing the offenses charged against
them In the circumstances, WeSterners
must be excused If they view the case
simply as a ruthlessly deliberate use OF
convenient victims to set terrifying ex-
ample of how the Kremlin is ready to
deal with Germans foolish enough to be
anti-Communist.
Westerners must be excused, too, if they
look upon the case as shocking illustra-
ton of the vengeance-is-mine character
of Soviet justice. If something similar
had happened in the Anglo-French-Ame
lean sectors of Berlin, if five German boys
had been arrested by us for participating
In a riotous pro-Communist demonstra-
ton, they would have received at most
light sentence; indeed, quite probably,
they would have been let of with nothing
more severe than stern lecture But the
Russians do not do things that way.
Making no allowance for adolescent re-
actions to the psychology of mob excite
ment, and without even bothering to prove
that the accused actually committed the
relatively mild offenses involved, they have
meted out the stiffest punishment possible
under the laws of the U. S. S. R.-a punish

Carrier Bases Favored

To the Editor Of The Star:
From time to time the pages Of The Star
carry news items relating to a "feud" between
the Navy and the Air Force over which should
carry the atomic bomb.
The arguments pro and con all seem rather
pointless when you consider that the nearer
the base, whether on land or carrier, the more
efficient the airplane design will be- A shorter
distance to the target means the airplane de-
signed for the job will be faster smaller. more
maneuverable. and cheaper than an airpIane
designed for q greater target distance. It
also turns out that the base nearest the target
is the most vulnerable. This means that each
target should be evaluated individually to
determine the best airplane-base combination.
Curiously enough, the best argument in
favor Of the Navy of the future has been
advanced by the Air Force: ." -" Control of
these waters may determine victory or ami
hilation in any air war of the future, when
experts foresee robot planes and rocket pro-
jectiles loaded with atomic bombs and launched
from carriers and mobile floating platforms.
These weapons Of the future will require vast
ocean areas for their maneuvers, rather than
the land bases which played key role in the
air battles Of World War II. f. Any land
area can be dominated by a-based air power
