After fruitless efforts to repair
the engine, we decided to take off
our shirts and fashion a make

toward Istanbul.

But the wind was too strong.
We could not fight it. We were

No-DecisionArgument
In House Group Dims
School Aid Chances
BY the A.soeiatsd Press

A no-decision argument in a
House committee left only a few
hackers of aid-to-education today
with any hope for action this year.
Democratic leaders said private
ly they do not have any school aid
bill on their schedule for the rest
of the current session. They are
hoping Congress will adjourn
early next month.
The House Education and Labor
Committee battled over the issue
for two hours yesterday without
reaching any decision. When the
meeting closed, there was no
definite plan for taking up the
subject again.
May Meet Tomorrow.
Chairman Lesinski told report
ers he might call the committee
together again tomorrow to con-
tinue the battle, but he was not
sure.
The committee has four bills
before it. Some would allow Fed
eral money to go to nonpublic
schools, one would restrict it to
public schools alone.
a The latter is that of Represent
ative Barden, Democrat, of North
Carolina, chairman of the Labor
subcommittee in charge of aid-to-
- education legislation. He formally
presented his bill to the commit
tee yesterday, but there was no
vote on it.
Mr.. Barden's bill has been at
tackled as anti-Catholic. 1t is op-
posed by most Catholic members
Of the committee, but supported in
principle by one Of them, Repre-
sentative Jacobs, Democrat. of
Indiana.
Four Motions Defeated.
The other three bills are one
passed by the Senate in April,
one introduced yesterday by Rep
resentative Kennedy, Democrat,
Of Massachusetts, and one backed
by three committee Republicans,
Representatives Kearns of Penn
sylvania, Werdel of California and
Morton Of Kentucky. All would
grant some Federal money to
parochial and private schools un-
der certain limited circumstances.
The committee defeated four
motions in a row yesterday: Q
To approve the Senate bill, (2) to
approve the Kearns- Werdel-Mor-
ton bill, 90 to defer all action
on the matter until January and
% consider amending the

Australian Urges Flight
Round South Pole in 1850

PERTH, AUSTRALIA. - Charles
X. Foot, West Australian, is try
ing to promote a round-the-South-
Pole flight next year.
He thinks such a flight should
be made early in the year to mark
the visit of King George vi, Queen
Elizabeth and Princess Margaret.
Foot says such a flight would
strengthen Australians claim to
part of the Antarctic continent and
add to scientific knowledge Of the
old south. He suggests that the
flight be made by flying boat and
start and end at Perth.
From this west Australian city,
he says. the plane could fly to Ho-
bart, Tasmania. Then it would
head south, refuelling at Macquarie
island at a rendezvous with a ship
in the Ross sea and then at Palmer
Archipelago.
It would make the next stop at
Magallenes, the Chilean city at the
southern tip of South America.
From there the plane would fly
to Cape Town, South Africa, stop
ping on the way at a permanent
whaling station at South Georgia
in the South Atlantic. Then it would
fly to Prince Edward and Heard
islands before completing the
round-the- world flight at Perth.

kind. Again and again the sacred writers speak of the blood of
the Son of God as the price of our salvation.
1.-The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all
sin" says John. Peter says: Eye were redeemed by the precious
blood of Christ" Paul writes: "In whom we have redemption
through His blood" And Christ Himself, in one of the most
solemn moments of His life, said: "This is My blood, which
is shed for the remission of sins"
III other words, the man who has found his redemption in
the blood of Christ, is assured of complete forgiveness of all
his sins. To him the blood of Christ has spelled the difference
between an eternity in + heaven and an eternity in hell. Small
wonder that Christians of all ages have prayed: His blood
be on us and on our children" No man could crave a greater
blessing.
