Religion And Little Children

THIS CHAPTER includes the ia
! nous story of the little children
who were brought to Jesus-evident-
ly quite small children, for Jesus
lifted them into his arms. We do not
hear Jesus saying, Children are
too small for me to take any interest
in them. Wait till they are older.
What good can religion do these
tiny tots?" On the contrary. Jesus
not only blessed them, but held
them up as models for older people.
Is your church following Jesus
here? Is your church interested
In the little children as much as
M Ii in the paying members?

Al Wide As Life

THEN THERE WAS a question
! about eternal life. OF course
Jesus answered that one, 1t was
obviously a religious question. eek
cept that he gave it what some
people even today would consider
a not very religious answeri) Jesus
went on to talk about money and
the effect it has on a mans prospect
of eternal life. Jesus would be the
very last person to imagine that
a mans bank account has nothing
to do with religion. Some people to
this day don't like to hear a preach
er mention money in his sermons.
Well, such people might have been
offended by Jesus, for he often
preached about money and prop
erty.
Then there was the question
Of ambition, the audacious re-
quest that James and John made
Of him. He had some strong 9
marks 10 make about that.
And finally at Jericho, not long
before Palm Sunday, there was the
blind beggar Bartimaeus. Jesus
did not say to him, Health is no
affair of mine. / cure souls, not
bodies"

What Does Religion Cover?

VET THAT FARMER is not a bit
\ more idiotic than a Christian
who, when asked about this or that
activity or aspect Of life, answers,
That's not religion. l have no in
terest in it," Religion isn't a little
fenced-of pasture for lambs, a tiny
garden plot behind thick hedges.
Religion covers the whole
farm, every bit Of life from end
to end. Jesus knew this very
well. He never once refused to
discuss anything on the ground
that IL was not religious.
He cast light on everything that
touched him. He called his followers
the light of the world" Not flash
lights, shining in one narrow BEAM!
Not flashlights, but lamps, set on a
lampstand and giving light to all
who are in the house."

TEL AVN, Israel, Jan. S.-An
official Israeli spokesman said
today that four or five planes
shot down by Jews yesterday
over Rata apparently were of the
British Royal Air Force.
Two were known to be British
piloted Raj planes. the Israeli
spokesman said, and the other two
were presumed to be.
One British flying officer who
bailed out was taken prisoner. The
charred remains of the body of an
other was found in the ruin of his
RAF-marked Spitf1re. The fate of
the other two pilots was not learned
immediately, but it was presumed
they are dead.
The spokesman said two British
planes were down during the morn
ing yesterday and two during the
afternoon. He said the fifth plane
destroyed was Egyptian. At least
two and perhaps three were shot
down by Israeli fighters and the
others by antiaircraft, the spokes-
man said.
The government said this version
is being forwarded to the United
Nations. The. captured British fly
ing officer is being held for Red

Mognuson Aides
Lay Absence to
Gar Trouble
By the Associated Press

Office aides of dapper Senator
Magnuson. Democrat of Washing
ton, said today he will resume his
official duties here early next
week"
They added an opinion that it
was car trouble and storms rather
than romance with pretty blonde
film actress that caused him to miss
the first week of the new session.
Some friends here have linked the
Senator's Week-long absence with
his friendship for June Millarde
reputed heiress who is known in
Hollywood as Toni Seven.
But Miss Jessie Robertson, per-
sonal secretary to the broad-shoul-
dered 43year old Western Senator
doubts this.
1--WE had indirect word from the
Senator that he was driving back
here and had some car trouble in
Northern California" Miss Robert
son told a reporter.
I'm certain that if he was going
to get married he would have told
us about it" she added firmly.
Senate Democratic leaders also
expect Senator Magnuson back or
the JOB early next week.

Five On Senate Group
Back Labor Law Steps
As Urged by Unions
Would Repeal Toft-HortIey
Act and Restore Wagner
Before Making Revisions

Five members of the Senate
Labor Committee said today they
favor repeal of the Taft-Hartley
Act and restoration of the Wag.
ner Act before Congress con-
siderS amendments to the ole
law. That is the identical pro-
cedural position urged by the
big union organizations.
The procedure would mean two
bills, one to replace Hartley
with the Wagner law and a latel
one dealing with changes in Wag.
ner, along lines suggested by Presi.
dent Truman.
Some Congress members. like Sen.
ator Ives, Republican, of New York
are for single-package approach
And they predict it will turn ou1
that way.
Amendments to Be Offered.
They plan to offer Wagner Act
amendments when the proposal te
re-enact it comes up on the floor
In the Senate there is nothing te
stop them, but in the House it is
possible to bar amendments.
Mr.. Truman called for Taft.
Hartley repeal. re-enactment of the
old law and certain Improvements
in it. But he said nothing about
timing or procedure-two points or
which there has been plenty of con
troversy.
At his news conference yester-
day, the President was asked for his
views on the matter. He replied that
he had made it clear what he wants
How the program is carried out, he
said, is up to Congress.
So a reporter asked Democratic
members of the Senate Labor Com
mittee what procedure they favor
They are in the majority on the
committee and their views are re-
garded as certain to prevail in that
unit.
Reasons for Two Steps
Chairman Thomas said:
Il favor two steps. If we tried to
repeal the Taft-Hartley law, restore
the Wagner Act and amend the
Wagner Act all in one bill, I am
afraid we would never get rid of
the Taft-Hartley law"

Extension Of Controls
On Rent Held Certain;
Price Curbs Opposed
But Moybonk Comedies
Some Standby Powers
May Be Necessary

Congress is expected to vote
an early extension of. rent con-
troll, but Democrats studying
President Truman's economic re-
port were less certain today how
far they should go toward other
price controls, even on a stand
by basis.
Chairman Maybank of the Senate
Banking Committee, said II don't
think another OPA is the answer
but some standby controls may be
necessary
Senator Maybank took a new ap-
proach by announcing he wants Il
investigate middle-man operations
to find out what causes the spread
between what a producer receive:
and what consumer pays.
Price Plan Protested.
Lawmakers from some farm State.
Republicans and Democrats-pro
tested the Endorsement in the eco
nomic report of flexible farm pric'
supports. which might permit de
clines in price floors next year. The,
said the President himself Is com
mitted to full parity
Senator Sparkman, Democrat, O.
Alabama said that because some
prices have begun to wobble," hi
had hoped Mr.. Truman would not
find it necessary to ask for controls
But he indicated that If the neeo
can be shown he will go along with
the President.
Mr.. Truman, in his economic re-
port to Congress yesterday, declared
that profits are swollen to excess AND
that dangerous inflationary forces
still imperil the economy.
He renewed his call for (a) $4,000
100000 in new taxes; 10 an eight
point economic program, including
standby ALLEGATION, price and wage
powers: (c) a vast housing program
and Id continuation of rent con.
trolls for two years in strengthened
form.
OMahoney Lands Program.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, OF
Wyoming, slated to head the Sem
ate House Economic Committee
called the program constructive
and positive" and designed to pre-
serve the prosperity of the whole
country in the best American ira
ditions."
Nobody is proposing another
wartime OPA,' he said.
On taxes. not many members were
talking. Some predicted privately
the President may get half the
$4,000, 000, 900 he asked, principally
from corporations, but the tax action
will depend in large on the size of
the Government spending program
Congress approves. Many lawmakers
are insisting on balanced budget
even if it takes more taxes.
Senator Myers of Pennsylvania
assistant Senate Democratic floor
leader, said he will offer a bill next
week to meet the Presidents re-
quest for rent control extension,
and other measures are being pre-
pared to embody the rest of the
Presidents program.
Predictions are that Mr.. Truman
will get lot, but not all, of the
measures he requested.
