Outside, the snotD teH softly, tDalltng US
round,
Roofing US in Nth music alone for light;
A listening room, subdued to the beauty
OF sound,
Apart and tnclosed in a soundless beauty
of 1uhite.
The great stars came to US, godlike, heroic,
fair;
Passion and tragedy throbbed through
the Dintry gloom,
Orchestral melodies threading the sno,Dy
air
Sang old legends to life in the SPELL
bound room.
Hour after hour, the sno,D! When Twilight
came
and darkness stealthily entered, toe did

TiH the fre-music awakened our oDn
hearth's flame
And snatched US back from the clories
OF long ago.
Reality then seemed all unreal and
strange,
So far had been our enraptured DtstonS

@. Should the rooA be in complete dark
ness when televisios set is in operation?-
HPE
A. In the opinion of the American Optome-
trio Association it is best to avoid both intense
darkness and bright light in the room in which
television is viewed. If the room is totally
dark there will be too much contrast between
the bright screen and its surroundings. IF
there are bright lights they will distract from
the screen Mild, indirect light is preferable.
@. Is church membership increasing in the
United States?-O. Eff.
A. There has been steady increase in the
last half century. Church membership in 1890
was estimated to include ~ per cent of the
population. In 1948. according to a report Of
the Christian Herald. So per cent of the popu-
lation we're church members
@. What does the German word "Wehr-
macht" mean?-RAB B.
A. Wehrmacht designates the armed forces
as a whole. The literal translation is defense
might or force"
@. Why was the name Archangel given to
the Russian seaport?-D. r.
A. Archangel, officially Arkhangelsk was
founded and named by an English trading cap

Interpreting Biblical Hebrew.

To the Editor of The Star:
DR.. John O. Knots recent letter to The
Star only goes to show how amiss many Bible
students are in their Interpretation of the
Biblical Hebrew language
1t Is ridiculous to say, as does DR.. Knott
that: "The Old Testament, in parts, is almost
kindergarten in its speech" Scholars now
agree that the Hebrew of the Bible involves a
genius of grammar that has no parallel in
the history of world literature.
Dr. Knott, by calling the New Testament a
sequel to the Old Testament. unjustly assumes
to invalidate the very foundation upon which
the three major world religions rest. He tries
to show by few isolated New Testament
passages that the Jews of today are not the
real Jews at all and therefore have no actual
claim to the Holy Land. But DR.. Knott, in
trying to "out-JeW" the Jews, conveniently
overlooks Matthew v. II, 18, 10, namely:
Think not that I am come to destroy the
law (of Moses, or the prophets: am not come
to destroy but to fulfill. For verify say
unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot
or one little shall in no wise pass from the
law (Old Testament), till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these
least commandments, and shall teach men
so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom
of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach
them, the same shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven
In the light of these facts, DR.. Knott might
find further enlightenment from John iv. %,

Security Payments Not Lost

Security Payments Not Lost
To the Editor of The Star:
On January 10, letter from John L. SWIM
merton was published in The Star in regard
to Lost Social Security Payments" The gen.
eral situation described we'll points out the
necessity for broad extension of the old-age
and survivors insurance program to all en-
ployment so that such apparent inequities
would not occur.
alton, there are certain factual points which
need amplification:
Cd Mr.. Swinnerton has not forfeited his
social security deductions, since they still stand
to his account and may be augmented later
Actually. there are instances of Government
employees who have retired under Civil Service
Retirement and then, for the first time, entered
private employment sufficiently long to qualify
for social security benefit.
(2 Mr.. Swinnerton quotes two individuals, In
a similar situation, who stand to lose between
$500 and $500 each. This cannot possibly be
since, as of the present time, 1t is virtually i'm
possible for any individual to have paid more
than $270 in contributions and not be eligible
for benefits upon attainment of age IS. Mr..
Swinnerton's payments, based on a two-year
period of private employment, could not have
exceeded 500.
80 Even assuming that an individual only
has two years Of contributions and so appears
to forfeit them, this is not entirely the case.
During that period he had had survivor pro-
lection This is similar to the case in auto
mobile or fire insurance where an individual
cannot properly claim that he has had his
premiums "confscated" or forfeited" because
during his term of insurance he had had no
accidents and at the end of that time did not
get his money back. ROBERT J. MYERS.

power In the Far East Is our sea power. We
at present can limit the advance of Communist
aggression at the edge of the salt water. The
project, apparently entertained by Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek, of seeking refuge in
Formosa is one that we could support effec-
lively. As pointed out by Lothrop Stoddard in
his illuminating article in The Star recently,
; the success of this Formosa project depends
largely on the support and cooperation OF
Ship the demonstration of our overwhelming
naval power on the side of Chiang's govern
ment in exile well might prove decisive with
that population which is fundamentally pro-
Chinese and anti Communist though presently
somewhat dsaffected toward the Kuonlntang
government. With Formosa as secure base
ttruly insulated from Communist attacks
Chang and his successors could continue the
resistance movement indefinitely in Southern
China. Supplies for that movement could be
safeguarded en- route by the United States
Navy.
No Risk for Real War Anticipated.
Now it is extremely improbable that naval
action of this kind would involve us in
shooting war with Communist China or with
Soviet Russia, for the reason that it always has
been the approved Communist tactical policy to
act with military force only where that force
can operate at marked advantage, as in the
case OF the Berlin blockade. It is not likely
that the Chinese Communists with their deci-
mal-point naval force would reach a different
decision on this important issue as to the choice
between the cold and the hot phases of the
irreconcilable conflict. In word, the United
States is in q position to give vital physical
support to the resistance government of China,
without direct physical risks to ourselves The
ultimate risk of war with Soviet Russia will
be lessened, not increased, If the Communist
