NEW YORK, Mar. 3O.-Basket-
ball may resurrect the center jump
after all successful free throws in
. move to discourage fouling.
This was indicated today in a
preliminary report by the National
Basketball Committee of the
United States and Canada, the
supreme body of the amateur
sport.
The committee, meeting here to
study proposed changes, said after
. lengthy session last night that
most Of its some 1000 groups are
In favor of discarding the two
minute rule.
But In doing so, the committee
reported. the membership is anx-
tous to try to discourage fouling
by installing stricter penalties.
Foremost of these proposals are: !:
ID Avoid giving the ball to the
offending team after a successful
free throw: 90 use the center
jump to decide possession on these
occasions.
Continue Talks Today.
The body. made up of represent
atives from the NCAA, AAU,
YMCA. National Federation of
High Schools and Canadian am
ateur groups, continued delibera-
tions today.
The committees report said a
survey Of its sprawling member
ship showed sentiment in favor
of keeping most of the present
rules intact. An exception is the
! two-minute rule, now widely
scored.
8 Under the rule, the team which
is fouled in the last two minutes
of the game retains possession of
the ball after free throw.
The National Association of
Coaches recommended yesterday
that the two-minute rule be re-
pealed and that the game be re-
turned to the 1944-5 style with
uniform regulations and timing
for the entire game.

them. 1t is doing each day, some
act of helpfulness for which we do
not present statement for service
rendered.
I marvel at the kindliness of
Christ If any man ever had occa-
sion to grow harsh and bitter, He
had. Yet, He never did. He knew
what was in man, and His loving
kindness grew ripper and richer with
each temptation.
1t was perfectly natural for Jesus,
when some men hailed into the
Temple a woman accused of sin to
say, LET him that is without sin
among you first cast stone at her."
No stones were thrown. Then,
helping the woman to her feet, He
said, Neither do I condemn you;
but go, and sin no more"
A greater writer who did not ac-
cept the Christian religion once said:
'"That is the greatest act of kind
ness recorded in history"
GoO0 Ne1gnDorS
What neighborhoods would de-
velop throughout our land if every
one in them tried to out do every
one else in kindness. Perhaps we
are going too fast to cultivate our
neighbors as did our fathers. There
are thousands of neighborhoods
where the people gather to help
their afflicted neighbors, and prac-
tice the law of "Good Neighbor."
May their number increase.
What richness could grow in our
homes if married mates would try
to Guido each other in kindness
And do it first! Little children in
homes would be given their Coo
given rights in seeing the Gospe
of Christ lived before their eyes
And then as the time that we cal
old age comes near, kindness would
have grown habitual.

Thoughts on Life
Old Age With a Smile
By DIR. JOHN w. HOLLAND

By DIR. JOHN w. HOLLAND
THE STUDENTS OF STATS
TICS tell us that we are rapidly be-
coming a nation of elderly people.
1t seems that nations, before they
die, increase the number of the
older people. Medical science is
making it possible for people to live
longer, while war and adventure
kill off the young. So there you are.
AS the old southern philosopher
said: "Old age gwine to ketch us If
we live long enough
This being the case, older people
have to watch the effects of thought
upon health and happiness. want
to quote from a man who wrote, in
his 85th year, ''There is a perennial
prescription for happiness, if we find
and use it."
David Harun, as you know, said,
'sDo unto the other fellow as he is
trying to do unto you, and do it
first"
Well, that may be clever, but it is
not wise.
My version of the maxim is after
this manner: Be kinder to every
body than anybody can be to me,
and do it first. Living by that rule,
I do not think, act or talk like an
old man.
What Is Kindness?
This matter of kindness, what is
it? 1t is going slowly enough to
notice the other fellow. It is loving
people enough to be interested in
them. 1t is the ability to imagine
ourselves in the other mans situa-
ton. 1t is sympathy with the weak
nesses of other people. 1t is the char.
ity to withhold judgment on other.
until we learn the facts. BY tina
time, we will not want to judge

The Three Wishes

ONCE UPON A TIME in the King
dom of Wishes, triplet daughters
were born to the King and Queen.
There was great rejoicing in the
Kingdom for the good King had not
just one daughter, but three of them.
For weeks people from all over the
Kingdom came to admire the three
princesses and to bring them gifts.

slzs they decided to
call them A, B and c, and since no
one could tell them apart it really
didn't matter anyway.
The three Princesses grew and
grew. And as they grew bigger they
also grew more beautiful and more
alike at least on the outside. 1t was
soon plain to see that Princess G
wasn't at all like her sisters except
in looks. She was sweet and kind
and quiet. But Princess A and
Princess B were rude and naughty.
When their maid in waiting came
into the nursery to dress them each
morning, the two princesses screamed
at her and had tantrums, until the
poor maid ran from the room in
fright.
Now it is the custom in the King
dom of Wishes to grant wish to
each child on its eighth birthday,
and so great preparations were made
for the big event. If the Princesses
wished wisely, the Kingdom would
benefit, and everyone discussed the
affair.
] When the great day arrived, the
Princesses were washed and combed
and brushed until they shone. Then
they were taken to the throne room
where the King and Queen and all
of the mobiles and their ladies were
already assembled. Those who
couldn't get into the throne room
waited outside the castle.
The buglers blew their bugles, and
the Most High Chancellor rose to
his feet. He bowed to the King and
he bowed to the Queen, and then he
bowed to the three princesses
Solennly, he said, Dear princesses
you have now reached the most i'm
portant day in your lives. Today
you make your wishes. We of the
Kingdom hope you will wish wisely
Princess A, have you made you
decision?"
81 wish to be rich and have beauti
full Clothes" said Princess A, smooth
ing her new dress. Those in tn
throne room frowned.
Princess B, have you made you
decision?" asked the High Chancello
'I wish to be the most beautifu
lady in the Kingdom!" said Princes
: 3, smoothing her curls. The peopl
: sighed.
Princess C, have you made you
decision?" asked the High chancello
81 wish for happiness for every
e one in the Kingdom" said Princes
S c, and the noblemen and their ladit
p shouted with joy, and their frowl
: disappeared like magic.
Of course the wishes of the Pril
cesses all came true. Princess
married rich prince, and Prince
y B became the most beautiful lady
s. the Kingdom, but Princess c w
n the most loved because she h;
~ wished something for the kingdol
eA and everyone was truly happy.

Speaking at the opening of a
four-day convention at the Hotel
Statler, Mr.. Goldman called on
the United States to use its pow
er to dislodge the Nazis" as a first
step in preserving world democ-
racy.
The charge highlighted his ad-
dress on the State of the Order,
delivered before about 1000 dele
gates and guests, representing the
oldest and largest Jewish service
organization in the world.
Denazification must be achieved
Mr.. Goldman said, mot so much

naming in Germany as for the
sake OF peace lLSelI.
Sees Work Nullified.
While the United States spend.
millions of dollars to export de.
mocracy to the world, he went on
I'VE nullify the work we do; We
bankrupt the very treasure we
build up; we negate the very &C
ton we take-when we allow in
Germany the enemies of democ-
racy to infiltrated into posts ot
power"
Delegates from all over the
United States, Canada and foreign
countries also heard criticism OF
this country's program for dis
placed persons. Mr.. Goldman de-
scribed the present programs as
mot in the American philosophy
1 He called for enactment OF "a
fair. workable amendment" which
would discharge our obligations
to the victims of Nazi persecution
and maintain our proud tradition
as haven for the oppressed"
| The speaker applauded enact.
ment Of State laws for fair EN-.
ployment and educational prac-
tices. But this progress. he said
"is tempered by the failure Of
Congress to pass efficacious civil
rights measures"
| Says British Rearm Arabs.
Mr.. Goldman charged that the
British are rearming the Arabs
In the Middle East. He called on
the State Department to "use Its
good offices to bring about the i'm
mediate cessation Of such ship
ments Of arms"
The intended victim of Middle
Eastern military activity, he said,
"can only be Israel"
'"The continuation of arms
shipments must be met by Israel's
rearming. leading inevitably to
a breach of the peace and a
tragic resumption Of the war In
the Middle East. the speaker
said.
