great religions of the world as a
European.
Surely, Christianity should be
founded on and should adhere to
truth. Why not then, depict the
principal characters in Christian
history as they really existed?
Today, hundreds of African
Christian churches led by natives
are rising. They abide by Afri-
can dogma and African ritual,
both displacing the European
version. In the past so years they
have become convinced that Eu-
ropeans do not teach Christianity
as Africans understand it. They
feel that only an infinitesmal fra
ton of Europeans practice what
they preach.
When (not if the United States
of Africa comes into being, the
Christmas cards will depict a
dark infant Christ, a dark Virgin
Mary. All the principal charact-
ers of the Bible will be painted
nearer their true colors than Eu-
ropeans have made them.

Squeeze Moves Aimed
Al Czech Economy
Reported in 0ffinq

Squeeze actions aimed ct the
economy Of Czechoslovakia were
reported in the offing today to
underscore this Governments de-
mand for the release Of William
N. Oats, the Associated Press
correspondent jailed by the
Czechs on espionage charges the
United States has denounced as
false.
One step would bar flights by
Czech commercial planes over
Western Germany. Another would
curb American exports to Czecho-
Slovakia.
The flight ban would require an
aereement with Britain and
! ance, who jointly occupy West
ern Germany with the United
States. Secretary Of State Ache
son has indicated that negotia-
tions along this line have been in
progress.
Would End Tariff Concessions.
Export trade to CzechoSlovakia
could be cut on or curbed under
existing export control laws and
under the Trading -With-the-
Enemy Act.
The United States already has
announced that at the Geneva
trade meeting next month, it viii
ask other nations to cooperate
with this country in withdrawing
tariff concessions now granted to
the Czech government. Such an
action could seriously affect the
Czech economy, since Czech sales
to the United States amount to
around $50 million annually.
President Truman told his news
conference yesterday the Oats
case never would be closed until
the newsman was released. He is
under a five-to-10-year sentence.

ReVens Denied Bail,
Faces Sentencing

Reuben L. Revens, Il. who was
convicted here last March on sex
offense charges, probably will be
sentenced sometime next month,
after District Court Judge F. Dick
inson Let's, who presided at the
trial, returns from vacation.
This was revealed yesterday in
District Court when the prosecu-
tion indicated it has abandoned
efforts to have Revens adjudged
either sexual psychopath or of
unsound mind.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Joseph A. Sommer made this
known when the case went before
Judge Burnita Shelton Matthews,
as defense attorneys sought to have
their client released on bail. Judge
Matthews refused the request for
bail. .s.
Efforts to have Revens, a former
Government psychologist. ad-
judged a sexual psychopath fell
through in June, when two Gov
eminent pSychiatristS reported
they believed him to be Of un-
sound mind. A person cannot be
considered a sexual psychopath if
insance, it was pointed out.
Next, efforts to have him finally
declared of unsound mind failed
when two court-appointed psy-
chiatristS examined Revens and
reported him sane.
Revens faces a possible maxi
mum sentence of up to eight
years, according to Mr.. Sommer
He was convicted on a charge Of
assault with intent to violate the
Miller Sex Act and three addi-
tional counts which constitute
misdemeanors. The latter include
one charge of simple assault and
two charges of attempts to commit
sex acts.

future Admirals William F. CBulD
Halsey, Thomas C. Kincaid and
Roland M. Brainard. He came
here with his parents in 1901 and
attended Eastern High School and
Columbian University, now George
Washington University.
Mr.. Sinclair was a craftsman
with the Bureau of Yards and
Docks during the first part Of
his career. Then in 1915, Josephus
Daniels, then Secretary Of the
Navy, appointed him senior civil
ian member of the Board for De-
velopment Of Navy Yard Plans.
He since became the bureaus
senior expert on public works
budgetary affairs.
Mr.. Sinclair, who lives at 5000
South Second street, Arlington,

his time to the Animal Welfare
League branches in Arlington and

Johnston Demands
Price Control Revision
TO Avert Disaster
By Cecil HoIIond

Economic Stabilizer Eric john
lston warned Congress today "the
consequences viii be costly" and
l''could be disastrous" unless three
restrictions on the price control
program are repealed.
Mr.. Johnston went before the
Senate Banking Committee to
back up in strong and emphatic
President Truman's ap-
peal for removal Of three amend
|mentS to the control law which
went into effect only August /.
"If the act stands" Mr.. john
ston said in q prepared statement,
prices will have to go up-un-
necessarily. Wages will have to
|go up-unnecessarily. The costs
OF rearming viii 60 up-unnecas-
|sarily. Taxes viii have to 60 up
unnecessarily. The dollar will sink
in value-unnecessarily."
Johnston Sees Crisis.
He declared that the. new law
had brought the country's stabil-
lzation program to "a crisis and
opened the way for an imitation
airy spiral which had been held
in check under the former legis-
lation.
Mr.. Johnston's testimony was
Ipunctuated by sharp exchanges
as Republican members assailed
the administration drive to change
the new control law.
Senator Bricker. Republican, Of
Ohio, suggested that Mr.. john
ston and other administration Of
ticials should try to make the law
work before bellyaching to Con-
Igress."
He added that he resented the
attitude of the administration" in
trying to show that Congress did
not know what 1t was doing.

Mr.. Johnston ffuickly replied
that he was expressing the opinion
of those charged with administer
ing the controls law that some Of
the provisions were difficult to en-
force, and added:
IF you don't think we can do
the job, then get somebody who
can do it. I don't want it,"
Mr.. Johnston was the third of
the top mobilization officials to
urge Congress to change the law.
Defense Mobilizer Charles E. VIII
son and Price Director Michael
v. Disable testified before the
Banking Committee yesterday.
Several members of the COM
mittee were quick to tell the con-
trolls officials that repeal of the
