No Good Chance

THE world around us makes its
L impression on us; it makes no
impression on dolls. They go on
smiling their built-in, painted-on
smiles, but we have to learn
through tears. And so did Jesus.
The heavenly Father saw to it that
his experiences were not always
easy ones. He was born in a stable,
of parents who were very poor, liv-
ing the first few years OF his life as
a displaced person in foreign
country, with price on his baby
head.
He grew up in village "Off
the main line," among COM
paniOns not one of whom ever
beca m famous, working
through long years at simple
and not too well-paid trade.
During Jesus first 30 years his
neighbers never guessed that
the most extraordinary person
of history was living in their
village.
We sometimes wish that we had
an easier time Of it, and that God
had seen fit to cast our lot in some
big city with a rich family, in
stead of where we are. We feel we
could be better people if we "had
chance" Yet every reader of
these lines has a far better chance
than Jesus. It did not take perfect
surroundings to shape perfect
life.

Holy Family

WE CALL Joseph and Mary and
w the rest the Holy Family"
but they were not known that way
in Nazareth I They were just Jo-
seph the carpenter, and his Mary.
Then there were the boys and
girls; Mark (6:3 tells the boys
names, but no one ever remem-
bered to put down the sisters
names. Even then it was no small
family. Jesus, as the oldest OF sew
en-, would have many responsible
tiles. After JoSeph's death he would
be the chief breadwinner. Seeing
that the rent was paid, that there
was grain in the house for Mary
to grind into meal. finding money
for clothes for seven growing chill
dren-this could not have been
easy for Jesus the young carpenter.
They were not an easy fam
lily to live with, those boys and
girls. When Jesus later began
his work of teaching and heal
ing, we hear that even his
brothers did not believe in him.
But in spite of the brothers,
there was always Mary. Moth
er-like, she loved her first-bOrn
as no other could or did.
There are some who worship her
as Queen of Heaven;" but it is
enough for us to remember that she
was queen of the home where
Jesus the child grew to be Jesus
the man. Not this side Of heaven
can we know how much we owe.
as Christians, to this one woman,
whose mind and spirit were woven
into the thought and spirit Of her
Son.

SUIT
IN HAWAII
WALk0UT'
Million and Half Dollar
Damage Action Taken,
Waterfront Strike

HONOLULU, July l5.-tR- A
$l,500,000 damage action marked
Hawaii's lingering waterfront strike
today-the 10th day since CLIO
stevedores tied up the ports for a
80 cents an hour wage increase.
The damage suit was filed by
Matson Navigation Company. larg-
est shipping firm serving the is
lands. 1t asked $4,000 additional
damages for each day the tieup
continues.
Matson named three defendants:
The International Longshoremen's
and Warehousemen's Union, to
which the 1000 striking stevedores
belong; the CLIO Marine Cooks and
Stewards Union, and the Indepen-
dent Pacific Marine Firemen, OIL
ers. Watertenders and Wipers Asso-
citation.
A spokesman for Matson said the
suit was filed yesterday under pro-
visions of the Taft-Hartley Act
These provisions, he said, author
ize companies to sue for damages
resulting from illegal acts by I'M
ions" and for damages by reason
of breach of existing contracts"
The suit charges the two MARI
time unions with breach of con-
tracts. Firemen and stewards walk
ed off five of the 10 Matson ships
tied up here by the strike. The
walkouts came OH three when Mat
son tried to sail them back to San
Francisco and when two others
were seized temporarily under fed
eral court orders for unloading of
cargo.
Fred Low, Jr., chairman of the
ILWU strike strategy committee,
said filing of the suit obviously
is another attempt of the Big Five
to break the strike and harass
the union. 1t will not work"

IN BRITAIN
NOW Tense
Strike PdrdIyzing Foreign
Trade-Cut in PurChdC-
ing Condemned
(By the Associated Press)

The British Labor government
struggled today to settle stubborn
waterfront strike sitting desper-
ately needed internationl trade. The
government faced storm of criti-
cism from the British press for its
latest austerity plan to cut dollar
purchases by rs percent.
Under proclaimed emergency
regulations, British troops tegan
loading export cargoes ON London
docks. Foreign trade is Britain's
lifeline. Already the 19-day old
waterfront strike OF nearly $4,000
stevedores has dealt the island
kingdom crush blow. The British
motor industry said the strike
crippled the export of some 5000
cars, trucks and tractors weekly
through the port of London.
More than 5000 troops were
poured into the government-seiz
docks. Others were unloading food
shipments badly needed by the
British consumer.
Meanwhile, union leaders met
with leaders of the wildcat strike
in an effort to reach a settlement.
The men claim they were locked
out by the dock management be-
cause they refused to work two
Canadian ships involved in dis
pute between two rival Canadian
unions.
The British press took a dim view
OF yesterdays announcement by
Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir
Stafford Grips that purchases OF
goods like tobacco, cotton, timber
and sugar in dollar areas would be
slashed Is percent. Newspapers
said buying outside the dollar areas
would increase British costs and
British goods for export would thus
be priced higher and consequently
less would be sold.

SECRECY
AT NIGHT
MEETING
President Confers with Top
Leaders in Many
Departments
BY OLIVER w. DewoLFE

WASHINGTON, July 15.-lR-A
White House shield of secrecy to-
day threw a tight cover over a
super-mysterious conference which
brought President Truman together
with top military. atomic, diplo-
matte and Congressional leaders.
For two hours and 33 minutes
these men-the list was impressive
were together behind closed doors
last night in historic Blair House,
the Presidents temporary home.
There was no announcement
whatever of what went on. How
ever, the identity of the partici-
pants pointed strongly toward
some development in the atomic
weapons field on an international
level.
The New York Times said the
meeting dealt with the question of
giving to Great Britain technical
information on the production of
atomic bombs.
1t was learned later, however
the newspaper added, that no de-
cisions were made during the SEES
sion unless the President came to
some determination that he did not
disclose.
Any decision to give information
to Britain would require an act of
Congress before it could be car
ried out. Present law forbids dis
closure Of atomic information to
other countries.

P PACIFIC
PACT NOW
PROPOSED
Senator Mdgnuson Urges
Government 10 Take
Immediate Action
BY CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, July l5-tR---
Senator Magnuson D-Wash) cal
led upon the government to nego-
tiate a Pacific Pact along the lines
of the Atlantic Pact.
He interrupted debate on the At
lantic Pact yesterday to tell the
Senate that a Pacific Pact could
eventually be a means of estab-
fishing strong China and gov
ernments in Southeastern Asia.
He said that if the State Depart
ment has not already started the
negotiations, under a resolution by
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich, it
should do so at once.
TWO OCEAN PACT
Magnuson said the worlds peace
cannot be assured under a one
ocean pact but must include the
entire world.
He suggested that the first step
should be the immediate strength
ening of Alaska which he said
would be the key to peace in the
Pacific He said Alaska's detenses
have been neglected and have not
teen of a permanent character.
There are not enough defenses
in Alaska" he said, despite the
lessons we should have learned in
World War II.
With a strong Alaska and our
intention to carry out the terms OF
an Atlantic Pact we might be able
to establish a strong China and
strong governments in Southeastern
Asia.
THE State Department should
begin to put plans for Pacific
Pact in operation. We can't have
peace in the world in only one
ocean,"
CAIN TO SPEAK OUT
Senator Cain tR-Wash) and f.
L. Bartlett, Alaska Territorial Dele
gate, both also said they would
speak in Congress on Alaskan un-
preparedness, basing their speeches
on testimony of Fergus Hoffman.
Seattle acknowledgement reporter,
before Senate committee.
Cain said he would speak on the
Senate floor and place Hoffman's
committee statement in the Con-
gressional Record.
HOUSING BILL
Bartlett also asked for time on
the House floor. He said he would
discuss the 15-million dollar Alas
kan Civilian Housing Bill, which
he described as needed to provide
quarters for construction crews
building military winter quarters.
1T will astound many members
of Congress to learn that our
Alaskan defenses are SO primitive,
SO backward, that we haven't even
the quarters for the builders which
must start the defenses," he said.
Vice President Barley also met
Hoffman and heard some OF his
description of Alaska and what he
called the greatest collection OF
potential Pearl Harbors under the
American flag"
