to see what good teaching can be.
He Is and will always be THE
Teacher.
His object was not 10 teach
science or history. The only
technique he taught was the
most important Of all-the tech
nique Of fine living. His object
was to teach "what we are to
believe concerning God, and
what duties God requires 81
man."
In short. his subjects were Faith
and Life. not separately but welded
into one.

IHIS method was always simple.

did not put his hay on such high
shelf that only intellectual giraffes
could reach it," rs Billy Sunday
expressed 1t. Common people heard
him gladly. because he taught In

spoke Of things that were familiar
to them.

Jesus could surely have taught
more profoundly than he did. In
deed, he said at the end Of his
days, Il have many things to say
.. but ye cannot bear them now"
However true a thing might be,
he would not say 1t II his hearers
were not ready for II.
Truth in Pictures
THEN Jesus taught In pictures;
I we call them parallels. The
bestowed and remembered parts
of his teaching are the stories he
told. Every one OF them was sim

people his listeners knew or had
often heard Of
The good teacher will always
use Illustrations. But the best
enes will come right out Of the
experience Of the pupils. Jesus
never quoted from . book his
hearers had not read. He never
used illustrations that only .
Ph.D. could understand. Fur
thermore. he never tried TO
teach two things at once.

Beef Offers Fall Far Short,
Army viii Buy Abroad

The Army said today it got
offers of only 10000 pounds OF
beef in response to its request for
bids on 13 million pounds.
Only 2 of 212 packers solicited
for bids made offers.
This seemed to make certain
that the Army now would turn to
Overseas markets to get the bone
less or carcass beef it needs for
supplying the European command.
The Army announced yesterday
that if domestic. packers failed to
provide the needed amount it
would request authority from
Army Secretary Pace to buy over
seas.
The packers have given Gov
|ernment price controls and a
shortage of high-quality beef as
reasons for refusing to submit
bids.

beef supplies would increase within

have less difhculty obtaining meat.

Us. hediafors Try
To Avert Hotel Strike

Washington's threatened hotel
strike, set for midnight tonight,
was in last-minute Federal media
ton stages today.
Unless an agreement is pro-
duced in conferences between hotel
and union representatives at the
Shoreham today. an estimated S.
600 hotel workers are to walk off
their jobs or fail to report for
the after-midnight shifts tomor-
row.
The Shoreham is among the 81
convention loaded hotels involved
in the wage controversy which
Conciliator James A. Holden is
attempting to settle today.
The current situation involves
practically every hotel worker ex-
cept clerks and engineers-cooks,
bartenders, bellhops, elevator men,
telephone operators, walters and
bus-boys. All are members of
unions affiliated with the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees and
Bartenders International Union
(AFL).
The union seeks a 40-hour week
at the same pay rate now being
received for a 48-hour week, pre-
MUM pay for working on legal
holidays and group insurance plan
improvements.
A management spokesman said
employees were given a 10 per cent
pay boost last year and that under
Wage Sterilization Board regula-
tions, pay boost of only 90 per
cent is allowable. The union con-
tends that the request for the
generally accepted 40-hour week
docs not reflect any inflationary
trend.

House May Act Today
On Retroactive Raise
For Federal Workers
By Joseph Young

The House will act today on
government classified and postal
employees pay -raise Ierisiat,o,,
Approval OF both bills ~ -s,s,,1, y,sr,,t
fall was predicted BY the HOUSE
leadership.
The bill for classified emploges
provides fiat $400 a year pay
increase. The legislation for postal
workers also grants a $400 pay
boost, and in addition reclassifies
the pay structure for postmasters
|and supervisors. It also gives an
additional 5000 to postal workers
hired after July, 1945, who have
never received the two-grade adj
vancements given previously to
other postal employees.
Increases Up to $500.
AS a result, the postal-pay legis-
lation would grant increases rang
ling from $400 to $500 a year. al
though the vast majority of postal
|employes would get only the $500
figure.
Representative Katharine st.
George. Republican, of New York
|offered an amendment to the pay
bill which would tie Federal SAL
aries to the cost of living index.
Patterned after the so-called
lescalator clause contract which
the United Auto Workers Union
has with General Motors, Mrs. St.
Georges amendment would give
Federal employees the $400 increase
proposed in the bill, but in the
future would increase or decrease
their salaries for each six-month
period based on the rise or fall
lof living costs.
Mrs. st. Georges proviso would
increase or decrease Federal en-
|ployes' salaries for each point that
the consumers price index, COM
piled by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, goes up or down.
The Senate last week approved a
fiat 10 per cent pay raise for
classified employees, with an $500
maximum and a $400 to $500
measure for postal workers.
Both Retroactive.
Both the House and Senate bills
would make the raises retroactive
to July /, and the increases would
be permanent.
In giving the pay legislation
the green light for House action
today. several members of the
House Rules Committee yester-
day criticized the retroactive pro-
vision.
Chairman Murray Of the House
Civil Service Committee, who ap-
peared before the rules group to
ask clearance for House action on
the pay measure. also declared he
opposed the retroactive features.
Mr.. Murray also said he had
wanted the raises to be temporary,
but that he was outvoted by his
committee.
Undecided on Amendment.
Mr.. Murray said afterwards
that he was undecided whether
he would try to amend the legis-
lation on the floor today to elimi-
nate the retroactive feature OF
the bills
The pay bills before the House
would cost $671 million annually.
More than / million classified and
100000 postal workers are COW
cred by its provisions. About
$500 classified and 10000 postal
workers in the Washington area
would benefit under the bills. Also
