in great period and this passage gives clue
as to why he and his time were great. Like
us, he lived in a perplexing age, when the
boundaries of knowledge were being suddenly
expanded and the old learning was proving less
and less adequate. But he was not afraid
knowing that he knew nothing, he had the
heart to believe that what his ignorance con-
cealed from him was not terrible, but finer
than anything so far discovered, and he dared
push forward into all truth. For, suspecting
that his light was in reality but shadow, he
was confident that beyond the shadow he
would find God.
Not even the atomic bomb could have
frightened that man; and with his courage we,
too, might be great.

SIR THOMAS BROWNE (ADAPrED)
W7HEN I, being then very young first dis
w covered this passage was enchanted by
its sound, and l still consider it one of the
finest examples of rolling thunder to be found
in English prose. But living through two
wars and depression has battered into my
head realization that there is more than
resonance in the old Doctors words.

Senate Beats attempt to Cut
ERP appropriation Bill

Several attempts to cut APP
preparations for the ERP were
defeated in the Senate yester-
day. The appropriation is to
carry through the program
for the next is months. In two
decisive votes the amendments
were rejected.
The first was an attempt to
reduce the amount by 500 mil
lion dollars. Both times were
Republican sponsored, with
some Democratic support. The
first attempt was defeated 68
to IA, the second, led by Sena-
tor Taft and Democratic Sena
tor Russell for a ten per cent
reduction. This was beaten by
"a to %. The debate continues
today.
Senator Scott Lucas, major
ity leader, said that the final
vote would be sought on Mon
day.
Paul Hoffman, ECA Admin
istrator said that failure to
enact continuing legislation
for the ERP by tonight's dead
line may force a break in the
program of the organization.

Shipments under the projects
already authorized would be
continued, however.
GROUPS PETITION
US. ACT AGAINST


Secretary of State Dean
Acheson said that the United
States will join with other
freedom-loving nations in TO-
cussing attention on threats
to freedom in Eastern Europe.
Threats to freedom Of thought
conscience and deligion have
been developed by the totali-
tartan regimes of tyranny in
Eastern Europe.
This statement was in reply
to petitions made by several
groups which called to protest
against the persecution of re-
ligious leaders including Card
inal Mindzenty. The Goddess

been set in operation to abol-
ish the right of the individual
