one Of the Psalms is made up Of

thus Psalm 108 is made up from
Psalm 57:7-11 and Psalm 60:5-12.
The Psalms were cherished and

Our Psalm book has gone through
centuries of sitting; many were
dropped out and forgotten, but the

what we have is the cream Of the

Mirror of Man
TOHN CALVIN called the Psalms
the mirror of the SOUL" All the
varied moods of man-hope, des-
pair. triumph, envy, doubt, aspira-
tion, loneliness, hatred. fear, ir-

WEAKNESS, amazement, anguish,
rapture-almost every emotion that
can be felt toward God or man
breathes somewhere or other in
these Psalms.
Since not one of the authors
Of the Psalms was Christian,
Of course, we should not be
surprised to find, here and
there, expressions (for exam

harmony with the spirit and
teaching Of Jesus. The won

Of that kind Of thing.
For every Psalm in which the
poet says something cruel or hate
full (e. G. Psalm 1879 or 109:6-1D.

Message of God
IF the Psalms are so human, how

Yet they are also. truly, a message
Of God. For they not only cast q
divine light on the state Of mans
heart, but they show what the life
Of man is when God becomes real.
For God was real to each poet who
contributed to this great book. In
latter weeks this summer we shall
be looking at the Psalms from var

will be helpful to sit quietly with

does this show me about God?
What does this show about life

 RECOVERY FUND
(By Associated Press)

Senators said today that Eco- homie Cooperation Administrator Paul Hoffman has won his fight against a heavy cut in European Recovery spending. Economy ad- vocates have been urging a sub stantial reduction maybe a billion oollars-in spending for European recovery
 But yesterday Hoffman pointed out. that this cut would not only hurt Europe but the US. as well because it will mean less purchases of American cotton, tobacco, wheat, butter, lumber and other com- modities at time when business is shaky.
 "The push for big reduction is all washed up," Senator Robertson (D-Va) said. Discussions are be- fore the Senate Appropriations Committee.

 OFFICIAL I5 JAILED
Church State ConfIiei Breaks Out in Commun-
 isl CzethosIovdkid
(By the Associated Press)

The Church-State conflict in Communist Czechoslovakia rose to climax today. Archbishop Josef Beran, head of the Roman Cath olic Church in Czechoslovakia, was virtually a prisoner of the govern ment. Czechoslovak police stood guard at the Archbishop's palace gate. Secret police moved in to seize church records.
 In many ways the conflict te- tween the Czech government and Archbishop Beran paralleled that involving the Hungarian govern ment and Josef Cardinal Mind s2enty, a Vatican source said. Hungary silenced Mindszenty's op- position by arrest, trial, and life imprisonment.
 The Prague prelate's status was described by a reliable informant as "house arrest" The palace re- ception desk and telephone switch board were manned by secret po- llce. There were reports that even diplomatic officials have been de- nied access to the Archbishop.
 The Czechoslovak government says the Roman Catholic hierarchy has interefered in matters of state. The Archbishop has fought against a government campaign to take over schools and abolish church periodicals. The govern ment set up a group called Actio Catholica to whitewash its pro gram. Beran denounced. the group In one message he hinted that accommodation would be im- posed against "collaborators.'
 In Vatican City an informed source said Czechoslovakia is ripe for events like those in Hungary

LABOR BILL BATTLE ON
 IN SENATE
or Seizure in National Strikes Big ''
 Problem Now
By JACK RUTLEDGE

WASHINGTON, June 17-lR-A choice of injunctions or seizure as curb in national emergency strikes confronted the Senate to- day as it battled over labor bill.
 Technically five proposals were up for a possible vote. But what the Senators really were trying to decide narrowed down to these al- ternatives
 1. Continue specific government power to get court injunctions; as ir the Taft-Hartley act. La-or is solidly against this. "
 9. Avoid any mention of inc, junctions but authorize the gov- ernment to seize an industry. This is another way of authorizing an injunction if it becomes necessary, but is not nearly so distastetul to lator leaders.
 Number one is supported by Sen- ator Taft tR-Ohio) and other Re- publicans. Number two by Senators Douglas tD-IlD, Aiken tR-Vt) and Lucas (D-Ill, the Democrat leader.
 The administration wants to- re- peal the Taft Hartley law and re- place 1t with a modified Wagner act easier on labor. Opponents want to keep the T-H act, or substitute q bill with most of it's controls over unions.
 The administration. in trying to win opposition votes, has offered several minor amendments to make i its bill . little mort Ike the T-H law. The big issue now is what to do in case of strikes that endanger the national welfare.
 The Taft act authorizes injunc- tions. Some Democrats think seiz- ure is strong enough, and will 10th win votes and keep from an- tagonizing labor.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
Rv DREW PEARSON

lcopyrisht, ls4a. by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON-The much bally- hooed probe of the B-36 is now talk ing an unexpected and not too happy turn-at least for the Navy. The turn is to unhappy that Naval Reserve Captain Congressman Jim mic Van Zandt, the Pennsylvania Republican who started all the B-36 furor, would just as soon forget about it.
 For Chairman Carl Vinson of the Armed Services committee is not merely probing the B-36. He is al- so investigating the source of the smear stories against Secretary of Defense Johnson and Secretary of the Air Symington. In other words, he is probing the. delicate but high lys important question of who wrote Congressman Van Zandt's yitrolic speeches.
 In this connection is may be sig nificant that the Navy has suddenly transferred it's press relations and propaganda expert. Rear Adm. Ed

IDLE MEN ON
 INCREASE IN
 SOME STATES
Relief Rolls Established A. p. Surveys Shows No
 Unemployment Crisis

WASHINGTON, June 17-R- Rising unemployment and swelling relief rolls have led five states to pass ldepression-style relief laws and at least seven cities to revive work relief projects.
 But an Associated Press survey today suggested no national emer- gency. It found most states cer- tain they could handle their relief load in stride.
 It indicated joblessness has dwindled or stabilized in at least ten states in recent weeks or months. It showed that, almost everywhere, unemployment insur- ance has been a cushion" to keep most laid-off workers off poor relief" until they found new jobs.
 NO CRISIS
 An inside government memo randum made available to A.P. supports these findings. It says countrywide statistics "do not reflect the emergence of any new crisis" The report adds:
 "The current relief situation does not appear to be one which re- quires (FederaD action beyond that already recommended by the President"
 The Associated Press survey covered 38 states from which data was quickly available. In almost all of them, officials reported rises in the last year in both the relief burden and the number of people drawing unemployment pay.
 SPECIAL, LAWS PASSED
 Five states voted special laws to help cities and counties cope with the relief problern-Ohio, Minne- sota, Iowa, Kansas and Massachu- setts. Three more are Investigating the Michigan, Colorado and Idaho.
 California has had a standby relief law on the Cooks since 1945, never brought into use. Some of the other states laws are more preparedness" measures than emergency" acts.
 The work relief projects, so familiar in the 'thirties, reappeared iii Dayton, O., as early as Decem- Ter, Now it has spread to at least six bigger metropolitan areas, re- ports the American Municipal Association.
 ON WORK RELIEF
 They are: Detroit. -1,156 persons; Chicago, 155: Cincinnati county more than 300; Los Angeles, 488; Cleveland, Al; Milwaukee county POI. The totals are as of April or May; they may have risen.
 Yet, most of the state officials directly concerned with relief gave such reassuring analyses as tkese, from every region of the country:
 "A showdown but not disturbing (New Jersey): relief problem well in hand (Minnesota) mot at all critical" (Wisconsin) signs oi recovery" (Maine); tight squeeze but mo crisis" (Oregon) situation pretty good (Arkansas); unem- ployment is largely seasonal-no alarm" (MaSSachuSetts).

 U. Alaska,
 Is Coming

.. SEATTLE, June 17-tR-Dr. Ter r.s Moore, newly-elected President of the University of Alaska, already calls himself an Alaskan.
 On one-day stopover here on his way north for taking over his new duties at Fairbanks July l, he said his attitude would be one of question asking" about Alaska and its problems for some time. But. his five trips north, the last one in his own small ski-equipped plane three months ago. have given him much knowledge of the Terri tory. President Charles E. Bunnell retires as the schools President next month after heading it since it's start in 1921.
 We Alaskans,' Dr. Moore said, have a great opportunity and an unusual obligation to the nation.
 We need the highest degree of professional knowledge and techni- cal competence in the immediately ensuing years, with regard to this great storehouse of natural wealth"
 IN ALASKA BEFORE
 Dr. Moore, Al, was in Alaska dur ing the war as an expert civil con- sultant with a United States Army test expedition, attached to the Quartermaster Generals staff. Earlier he had made mountain climbing trips in the Territory with Brad Washburn, explorer and geographer.

 OPEN MIND"
 Dr. Moore said he was going north with an "open mind" on the question of, statehood and other controversial issues in the Terri tcry. It is his hope, he said, to develop the University into the outstanding northern educational and research institution in the world. He said he had little know ledge of what Russians had been reported to be doing in the way of developing ways of life in the same latitude across. the Boring Straits.
 IS FRESHMAN
 I'm a freshman as far as my new duties go," he said. T am not ready. to take a stand on contro- versies in the Territory. think the University should take an objec- tive approach, even doing research if you will, on such problem as statehood"
 The University of Alaska, with it's faculty of 40 and 400 fulltime students, has done fine work under pr. Bunnell, particularly in it's mining courses and it's aid to agri- cultural extension work.
 T can't say enough for pr. Bun- rell," the schools new head com- nented. After thinking of him and his work, I've decided not to use the word pioneer any more about myself"
