FOR MEMPHIS
MY father
J. A. Hibbler

The poem that follows gives
the tonal picture and the general
mood o fthe works that have been
written and which the writer is
hoping to publish in this column.
The poem was composed of the
tones, the fearful tones, in my
fathers voice. 1t is descritive of
a crowd of bus riders after hard
day of sweating toll. While it
seaks of despair, there is hope
that someday a dawn will come.
But despair is patiently borne. The
poet rises on the wings of her
Father and is not to be resented
or shunted, for through it, with
song, ma yemerge the path to
the peace and beauty of God.
In the deep, deep holes
Of Thine Endeavor
q Lord we live;
In the deep, deep holes
Where the fires of despair
Engulf US!
Down, Down,
Deep, Deep,
Tn the holes of Thine Endeavor
We live and breathe;
Reaching, retching,
Wrenching, stretching,
Seeking for Thy Peace:
Thy Peace, Thy beauteous peace,
Where the groves of cedar are,
Where the mountains reach
Up to the sky
And clouds assemble to march by
In dignity, in ecstasy.
Thy peace, o Lord, we seek;
We seek Thy peace;
But in the deep, deep holes
Of Thine Endeavor
We live and breathe;
In the deep, deep, folds
Where the fires of despair engulf
US,
Seeking for Thy peace.

peace.
And He said He would hear our
cry.
o Lord destroy this disease of

And allow your people to pass by.
No doctor has no cure for sin.
Unless he uses the love of God.
Sin has got this world in a fight.

Good time and joy are wrecking

And our young race are going

God save the saints would held

And the Bible is all true facts.
Can the churches give US peace at

I'm asking both White and black.
Night service in the House of

Is a breeding place for crimes.
Jesus said must work the works

Dy the Assoeiotsd Press

NANKING, Mar. 15.-Former
Premier Sun Fo remained silent
today after being accused of using
his political power to benefit pretty
Miss Ian Nj.
Specifically, Sun Fo was accused
of making it possible for Miss Ian
to obtain "a drums Of .dyestuf
from the Alien Property Admins
tration.
"A subcommittee of the Control
Yuan (auditing) made the charge.
The subcommittee said Miss Ian,
daughter Of a wealthy Yunan
Province family, was Sun Fo's
"concubine."
The general opinion here and in
Shanghai was that nothing would
come of the charge. However. it
may be reviewed by the Control
Yuan in full and could find its
way into the courts.
Miss Ian, described as in her
middle sos, lives in the fashionable
former French concession Of
Shanghai. She was arrested by
Chinese secret police after the war
on charges of collaborating with
the Japanese. Sun assertedly was
able to obtain her release.
Suns family and wife live in
Shanghai.
Chinese are not taking the case
very seriously. Many Chinese Of
fcials have concubines which are
accepted as part of the family
system. although supposedly IL
legal.
One qualified source said the So
called indictment could be kicked
around for year or more and by
that time it likely would be forgot

was "manifestly absurd" and he
suggested that their real reasons
were far from being altogether
creditable.
The Motion Picture Association
was soon accusing Mr.. Benton of
trying to subvert the movies to
synthetic Government propa-
ganda."
One OF his major proposals for
international broadcasting pro-
voked another high-ranking Gov
ernment official to the comment
that Mr.. Benton's plan was "a
Hollywood setup at once fabulous
and preposterous, which is almost
certain to produce foreign broad

worst chaotic and, as such. un-

peared before the Senate Appro-

dressing the powerful and testy
chairman Kenneth McKellar,

wrong name. Senator McKellar
finally corrected Mr.. Benton with
some asperity, and had no great
fondness for him from that time
on.
Representative John Taber, Re-

came chairman of the House Ap-

Benton was Assistant Secretary
so detested him that he swore he
wouldn't approve any money for
the State Departments informa-

When it was revealed that Mr.
Benton's Office was financing ex-
hibits overseas Of a collection OF

ragged the esthetic sensibilities of
some Senators and Representa-
