State Out Of Cage
Race By Dropping
Two To langston
by John Howard

Pine Bluff-The Zip Gayles
Langston Lions kicked the Ark
ansas cagers out of the Southwest
conference race here this week
when they defeated the five Mon
day night, 70-60, and repeated
Tuesday night by score of 72-57
The two game win put the Lang
ston team right into the middle OF
the conference race with Southern
university who leads the confer
enee. However, the odds will be
in favor of Langston with four
more games on the slate and Sou
thern with two games left TO COM
plete the season.
Arkansas. one of the preseason
favorites, has kept the pace dur
ing the entire season. but dropp-
ing two games to Bishop on the
road and splitting with Wiley and
Samuel Huston lowered the per-
centage figures for the lads. Then
last weekend hope was renewed
when the Lions defeated Southern
in two thrillers, 57-56 and 59-58
Both games were good but the
59-58 win over Southern was too
close and breathless throughout
Gayles' men struck paydirt in the
last encounter the hard way. His
entire first team lost their stand
with the penalty sheet, and the
Oklahoma lads had to depend on
their second team to do the job.
The Arkansas team took advantage
of the second string five. but late
in the final minutes the visitors
came surging back and went on
to win the game Arkansas suffer-
ed also when they lost the brilli-
ant service of Nathaniel Massey
who has been running wild
through the Southwest conference
this season. Massey suffered severe
injury Monday night, but took
the court Tuesday, however, his
presence did little damage.
In the two Southern games Clip
son and Massey led the Arkansas
team in field goals with Johnson,
Cutters and Hopkins doing the
top job performance for Southern
Against Langston, Massey and
Gray rose to the occasion for Ark
ansas, and Neal Faucet, and Hol-
mes were high point men for the
visitors.

Our Ancestors

FROM THE DAYS OF the early
= Roman church there comes
well-knoWn story which may be
true. In the slave market at Rome
the Pope saw some handsome
small boys whittier than the aver.

he asked. "Angl," they said-Ang-
les. from far-oii marshes along
the North Sea. No. smiled the
Pope, who was a bit of a punsier.
you are too good looking for that;
mon Angli sed Angel" not Angles
but Angels.
Anyway. the church did send
some missionaries to far.away
Anglia and elsewhere In Northern
Europe. It turned out TO be another
strategic base Of operations. Even.
tually France and Germany and
England and the other countries In
that part of the world were con.
verted 10 Christianity. The time
came when those very nations took
the lead IN moving into the rest Of
the world. into the western hemi.
sphere. down under" TO Aus.
tralia. even into Africa. Where
they went, they carried their relig.
Ion with them.
Suppose the church had not
thought our ancestors worth
converting? Suppose all the
colonizing movements OF the
10th and following centuries
had been waves Of sheer pa
gans?
II is not mere racial pride to say
that the sending Of missionaries 10
those savage peoples of northern
Europe was one Of the most stra.
tegie moves ever made by the
Christian church.

Strategy

Strategy
IT was q master-stroke, selecting
Ephesus as a base of operations.
1t made possible the rapid spread
OF the Christian faith into the prov
ince Of Asia. The decision to plant
q church there had been matched
by other strategic decisions in
Christian history since then. One
of these was founding the church
in Rome. That was an even greater
city and capital than Ephesus. and
II has lasted much longer.
II the Christian church had
been content TO be provincial.

the whole history Of Europe
would have been different.
When the Roman Empire crumb.

rose on its ruins and took its place
as the great civilizer Of Europe,
the strong force that kept a con.
tinent from decay for nearly a
thousand years.

As your eye ranged over a map
OF the Empire, you would have
lighted on Ephesus as the very

merely political one.

And To-day?
THE CHURCH has not always

have missed the boat. There have
been strategic centers we might
have oecupied-and did not.
There was time. for instance.
when Russia, that mighty nation,
was open to Christian teaching.
Many who knew that country were
saying about 1918 that II was pos.
sible TO capture that land for

was little interested ard now

CT Education
kHot Issue
By Rowland Evans, Jr.

Congress and the administra-
ton have joined battle over vet
erans' education. The Veter-
ans Administration says bill
lions of dollars" are at stake.
The main issue boils down to
this:
Are all World War II veter-
ans entitled to full CT bill edu-
cation benefits regardless of
their need for them and regard
less of whether they now are
"readjusted" to civilian life?
The full title of the bill
is "Servicemen's REIMBURSEMENT
Act" AS originally passed in
June, 1914, It limited education
to one year per veteran except
for those who could show that
their education had been "in-
terrupted or interfered with" as
a result of going into uniform.
But amendments to the bill
in December, 1945, opened the
doors to all veterans-one year
plus length of service, up to a
top of four years. ..
President Truman, Budget
Director Frank Page, jr., and
Gen. Carl Gray, head of VA,
plus some Congressman, are
agreed:
/. That the need for educa-
ton benefits is drawing to a
close.
2. That the original intent
of the CT bill did not contem-
plate free switching from one
course to another at whim of
the veteran who, says VA, is
often Influenced by lack of en-
ployment.
THE education part of the
,GI bill was not intended to be
a substitute for unemployment
compensation" a VA official
said in an interview.
VETS BACK TAFT BILL
(The subsistence allowance
for a married veteran ($120
a month for 25 hours a week
of schooling) is more than the
75-cent-an-hour wage floor
in the Minimum Wage Act.)
But Senator Taft, Repubn-
can, of Ohio, introduced a bill,
which passed the Senate last
session, that would allow vet
Grams to switch freely from one
course to another. It would
prohibit VA from making any
regulation designed to deny Ca
veteran such course or courses
as he may desire during the full
period of his entitlement."
Senator Taft's bill went
through the Senate unanimous
ly. It is indorsed by major vet

Banker-Statesman
By Flora Lewis

THE HAGUE.-The Marshall
Plan countries can expect very
careful counsels rather than dar-
ing, risky schemes from the Dutch
Foreign Minister, Dirk U. Striker.
who has recently been appointed
the new political conciliator of
the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation.
Mr.. Striker, a tall. burly banker
and businessman, is considered
in his own country an enlightened
realist with a talent for negoti-
ating practical compromises and
extracting agreements from re-
luctant opponents. His most
recent demonstration of this abil-
ty was the successful settlement Of
the Dutch -Indonesian dispute.
GETS THINGS DONE
A member of the Liberal Party.
which is more conservative than
its British namesake, Mr.. Striker
had been an outspoken critic of
Dutch efforts to negotiate with
Indonesia when he sat in the
upper house of Parliament after
the war. But when, in 1948, he
entered the government as For
eign Minister, he changed his
views and became one of the
leading advocates Of a peaceful
solution.
He will continue as Foreign
Minister, since that was one OF
the conditions on which the Dutch
government authorized him to ac-
cept his new OEEC post. He
would have been very difficult
to replace without a thorough re-
shuttle in the coalition govern
ment.
At So, he has more experience
in banking and business than in
politics and is little known outside
his own country. Here. however,
he has reputation for concrete
achievements. He was one of the
wartime founders Of a Dutch
movement called "the Foundation
of Labor" a management-worker
arbitration system which has done
much to eliminate labor troubles

political conciliator of the OEEC
was strongly supported by Britain
He personally, and the Dutch gov
ernment generally. are perhaps
the most closely attached of con-
tinental spokesmen to Britain and
the British point of view in Euro
pean economic affairs, not for
political reasons but because of
the firm bonds of economic in
terest.
Belgium's Socialist ex-Premier,
Paul Henri Spaak, who had
earlier been mentioned for the
OEEC job, has strong views about
the speedy unification of Europe.
Although his political theories
are similar to those of the British
Labor government, his opinions
on the measures Europe as a
whole should take now clash with
those of the British government.
Mr.. Striker, too, supports Euro
pean unity, though with a prefer
ence for moving forward cautious
ly, feeling which is reflected by
many other European leaders in
their actions If not always in their
public statements.

Controversial Saar in the Middle Again
By John |. Springer

and Western Germany were
broken off.
Taken from Germany after
World War I, the Saar was ad-
ministered by the League of Ma
tions with the French enjoying a
15-year lease. Then in tense
plebiscite in 1885, the Saar-
landerS voted to rejoin Germany.
But at the first opportunity
after the war, they voted again
to be separated. With the
French in control as an oc-
cupying power, Saarlanders
moved into closer and closer
economic rapport with the
French.
Since the Saar has been
source of friction so long, the
present quarrel may seem moth
ing to get excited about. But
Western observers fear that age
old nationalisms are being STIR
red up again, and that the fires
of ancient enmites are being
stocked. They maintain that
Haunting muscles at each other
is too much of a luxury for
either Germany or France to
enjoy when they still must con-
centrate their strength to raise
themselves from the floor.
Evening star., 1950-02-12

Despite two World Wars and
the dawn of the atomic age, the
heart of controversy between
France and Germany is still the
Saar.
In a world dominated by the
cold war between mammoth
United States and Russia, the
Saar-ar area rich in coal and
iron ore but only 900 square
miles in area-might seem of
vital Importance. But it is
serious to France and Germany
because-in some views, at
least-it provides the weight
which decides the balance of
economic power between the
two countries.
In brief, the present contro-
versy is this:
NOW autonomous, Dut undef
French occupation, the economi-
cally booming Saar has been
moving closer and closer into
the French economic orbit.
This distresses the Germans.
who have been accustomed to
the thought of the Saar as a
complementary region to the
industrialized Ruhr, with it's
enormous mineral-consuming
potentialities. So representa-
tives of the West German gov
ernment at Bonn have been
clamoring to get the Saar an
international status similar to
that enjoyed by the Ruhr.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
of the Bonn government claims
the Saar is rightfully Gerrnany's.
The French Foreign Minister,
Robert Schuman, replies that
the Saar is vital to his coun-
try's recovery and that France
must have its raw materials in
exchange for French finished
goods. While this argument
f1ared up, negotiations for

Lincoln's s Words Live
By AL Weismon

Ballots are the rightful and
peaceful successors of bullets;
and when ballots have
fairly and constitutiona1ly de-
cided, there can be no successful
appeal back to bullets.
"Such will be the great lesson
of peace; teaching men that
what they cannot take by an
election, neither can they take
by a war; teaching all the folly
of being the beginners of
war"
This sensible and stirring ap-
peal for peace might have been
delivered yesterday in the halls
of the United Nations by a goth
century statesman hoping to
bring the world to its senses
before it's too late. But it
wasn't delivered yesterday, or
last week. or last month. These
words, curiously enough, are
nearly 90 years old. They were
spoken for the first time on July
4, 1861, by Abraham Lincoln in
a message to Congress. But it's
doubtful whether the most
earnest peace-loving delegate to
the United Nations today could
express his views more elo-
quently than this message from
Lincoln.
MEANING OF LIBERTY
AS the 141st birthday an
niversary of the Civil War
President is celebrated, it is re-
freshing and startling to read
some of his speeches and writ
ings, to realize how easy it is
to apply them to current events.
The uncanny truth is that Lin
coins brilliant mind and vision
produced American scriptures
that are as alive today as they
were eight and nine decades
ago. Human nature being what
it is. Lincoln's testaments to
democracy, liberty. humani-
tarianism, delivered in that EZRA
of expansion" are applicable to
this present "era of nuclear
f1ssion." They make wonder
full reading aloud, too. since
Lincoln's poetic style is almost
as vivid as the significance of
his phrases.
AS one orator after another
in this atomic age arises to
strike impassionate and lengthy
blows for liberty, it is inter-
esting to recall Lincoln's words
at the Sanitary Fair in Balti-
more. April 18. 1864:
1.-THE world has never had a
good definition of the word lib
erty. We all declare for liberty:
but in using the same word we
do not all mean the same thing.
With some, the word liberty
may mean for each man to do
as he pleases with himself and
Evening star., 1950-02-12

the product of his labor; while
with others the same word may
mean for some men to do as
they please with other men, and
the product of other mems la
Dor. Here are two not only
different but COM p a t BILE
things, called by the same name
liberty. And it follows that
each Of these things is, by the
respective parties, called by two
different and Incompatible
names-liberty an tyranny.
And what of the present-day
confusion revolving around the
word liberation? It's as if
Lincoln OWNED our difficulties
back there on February 27, 1860,
at Cooper Institute, New York,
when he said:
THE shepherd drives the wolf
from the sleeps throat for
which the sheep thanks the
shepherd as liberator, while
the wolf plainly denounces him
for the same act as the destroyer
of liberty. especially as the sheep
was a black one. Plainly the
sheep and the wolf are not
agreed upon a definition of the
word liberty; and precisely the
same difference prevails today
among us human creatures, and
all protesting to love liberty.
Hence We behold the processes
by which thousands are daily
passing from under the yoke of
bondage, hailed by some as the
advance of liberty. bewailed by
others as the destruction of lib
erty. Recently, people have been
doing something to define lib
erty; and. thanks to them, the

NEW ,YORK.-The aircraft
carrier Oriskany-a guinea pig
in modern fighting ships-is the
latest thing the Navy has de-
vised for use in possible third
world war.
When finally commissioned.
she will be the product of in
tensive research from studies
made of the Bikini atom bomb
tests and from postwar improve
ments in radar, plane Develop
ments and other technical mat
ters-many of them still secret.
The Oriskany has been sub
ject to numerous and costly
changes since she was laid down
in the New York Navy Yard in
Brooklyn, May /, 1914. She was
one of the Essex class carriers
ordered in 1910. Later this
class was increased to "a vessels
officially listed at $1,000 tons,
but actually $4,000 fully loaded.
WILL CARRY JETS
Named for revolutionary war
battle fought in 1777 in Oneida
County, N. Y. the Oriskany was
launched October 13, 1943. Then
months later the Navy an
nounced her completion had
been delayed because of an
economy drive.
Then it was decided to re-
build her at a reported cost of
$80,000,000 to make her the
most modern ship in her class.
She is being modified to op-
crate larger aircraft-jet pro-
PEELED planes capable of carry
ing atom bombs at long range.
Her listed speed is 33 knots
a speed usually considered a
safe guarantee against sub
marine warfare.
The commissioning is expected
to be in June.
