By jones Y. Newton

Ia strike was predicted last night
unless there is settlement by mid
week of the widespread oil and
Igas industry dispute which
threatens to cut of the Washing
tton areas gas supply.
/ Federal labor officials said the
dispute would be sent to President
Truman either Wednesday or
Thursday If a settlement is not in
fsight. The President, in turn,
Twas expected to certify the wage
lcontroverSy to the Wage Stabiliz-
lation Board for its settlement re-
recommendations.
E Government mediators were
working hard in various sections
lof the country in an effort to
igain a 'break" which would make
possible settlement of the entire
dispute involving scores Of oil and
lgas companies and several hun
|dred plants. But mediation off,
cials here were not optimistic.
New Deadline Set.
The officials, however, said it
was highly unlikely the more than
10000 workers would walk out,
talthougf1 the unions involved have
1set q new strike deadline of next
Sunday midnight.

Companies representing more

gas industry are involved in the
dispute. Included are natural gas
producers and pipeline companies

the Washington Gas Light Co.
The workers are represented by

independents. which have formed
a coalition to fight for 25-cent-

benefits. The largest union, and

Long In Writing
And there is no book which
took so long in the writing; its
earliest strands reach back to what
historians call the Late Bronze
Age when Israel was a group of
nomad tribes wandering in the
desert. Its last lines were written
W, en- the New Israel, the Church,
had already triumphed over sever
al of those savage tests we call
the Prosecutions. How can there
be any unity in book whose
parts differ so much in length, in
form, in subject-matter and author
ship, in time and place of compo-
sition?
There is double answer to this
question. Before all else, the Bible
is one because, in spite Of the di-
versity of human authors, God is
the principal author of every book
from Genesis to the Apocalypse.
He is the author of the Sacred
Scriptures as truly as Thomas JEFF
ferson is the author of the DecIar-
alton of independence or the man
whose name stands on the title
page is the author of the next book
enc opens.
Note we say "as truly as, not
in the same way as" For in this
work God made use of human in
Struments-the men we know as
Isaias or Jeremias or Matthew or
John. But these were not lifeless in
struments, like the pens we use
in writing. nor did they write in a
trance or by dictation, as though
the Holy Spirit came down in the
form of a dove and whispered into
their ears the words they had me-
chanically to set down. Rather as
free and intelligent instruments,
they were so moved by Gods grace
that they formed with their minds,
wiIled to set down in writing. and
did actually set down in suitable
words those things which God
wanted written. This sentence,
based upon Pope Leo Kills classic
al description, sums up what the
Church means when she speaks of
the inspiration of the Scriptures.
And inspiration impresses upon the
books the unity of authorship.
Basic Matter
One in authorship, the Bible is
also one in its basic subject matter.
Through all its parts without ex-
ception runs the golden thread of
what theologians call the economy
of salvation, or Gods way of
bringing mankind back to Him.

Aussie Paper

SYDNEY, Australia-(NC) - A
leading Bishop of the Church of
England in Australia has rebuked
the country's principal Anglican
newspaper for publishing an edit
orial which contained sighting
references to Catholic laws on mar
riage and divorce.
In letter to The Anglican. the
Rt. Rev Francis de Witt Batty,
Bishop of Newcastle, accused the
national weekly mot only of dis
courtesy, but of unfairness."
ITO speak as you do in your edi-
torial of the 'sleight of hand tricks
of the Roman Catholic Church
and to print the word 'annulments'
in inverted commas" Bishop Bat
ty wrote the editor, is to be guilty
if may say so without disrespect.
not only of discourtesy but of un-
fairness"
Bishop Batty declared that.
"Anglicans no less than Roman
Catholics. and secular lawyers no
less than ecclesiastical, recognize
that if there existed at the time of
the marriage some cause or just
impediment why they may not law
fully be joined together in Holy
Matrimony,' then the marriage can
be declared null and void"
Bishop Batty declared that the
best known instance in which the
Vatican found a marriage was null
was that of the marriage between
the late Duke of Marlborough and
Miss Cornelia Vanderbilt. He said
that the marriage was declared
null ION the perfectly legitimate
ground that one essential pre-
requisite to . valid marriage -
the full and free consent of both
parties-was lacking"

cabinet which was finally formed
after a ten-week governmental
crisis.
Headed by Willem Drees, a La

Prime Minister in the last cabinet,
it includes six members of the Peo-

to no party.
Catholics hold the posts Of vice

public legal bodies and interior.
One of the features of the new
cabinet, which is the product of
compromises, is that it will contain
two foreign ministers.
