Come in a HeIicopter!

There ought to be moral of some sort in
the fact that the meeting now under way aboard
the cruiser Helena in the far Pacific is not being
described as dramatic" affair.
Perhaps the omission Of this overworked ad-
jective is mark of the times in which we live.
It has been only little while, however, or so
1t seems, since Franklin Roosevelt startled the
country by flying out to Chicago to accept his
first presidential nomination. And even in this
age of globe-circling flights and supersonic
speeds, especially for those whose memories of
the horse-and-b d-buggy days have not quite faded
away, there is a challenge to the imagination in
the Helena conference.
Still. it is hardly dramatic meeting in the
literal sense. What II net-off1cers-to-be are
ferried across hundreds of miles of ocean by
helcopter, to be deposited aboard the cruiser for
urgent discussions with the Presdent-elect?
What if airplanes are shutting back and forth
between the mainland and the Pacif1c's island
chain, carrying continuing flow, to and forth,
of fresh advisers and aides? General Eisenhower
has been operating in similar feverish fashion
for more than decade. All of this is probably
old stuff to him. And those of his chair-bound
contemporaries who are not quite willing to ad-
NIT that this is routine sort of business should
remember that the techniques which seem novel
and exciting today may become as outmoded
as a buggy ride before many more years have
passed.
The true drama of this conference Is found,
not in its physical trappings but in the subject
matter under discussion And in this respect
the dramatic qualities can hardly fail to stimu-
late the dullest Imagination.
For General Eisenhower and those who have
Joined him at sea are dealing with more than the
Korean war. as terribly difficult as that problem
is. They are coming to grips, perhaps for the
first time, with the larger question of how Korea
fits into the whole of the world picture; with
the riddle of what Communist intransgence
there may signify as to the larger purposes OF
the Kremlin.
There is little to encourage optimism II
anything, Soviet policy seems to be hardening
rather than softening; veering toward prepara-
ton for ultimate war and away from genuine
peace-seeking negotiation. In such climate, 1t
is aboring the obvious to say that General Eisen-
hover and his associates are faced with the
necessity of making enormously difficult dec-
sions-decisions which cannot long be deferred
and in the making of which there is no room for
error There Is basis for announcement, how
ever, in the fact that they are not marking time
that the processes of consultation and decision
are being expedited by drawing upon the essen
tial devices of this air-minded age, be they
dramatic or otherwise.

Everest Wins Again

Mans latest carefully organized attempt to
conquer the topmost heights OF formidable
Mount Everest has failed. as other valiant efforts
to surmount the 29000-foot Himalayan giant
have failed. The combination of treacherous,
icy slopes and frigid gales was too much for the
hardy Swiss expedition which started the dan
gerous climb last October. The Chevally party
turned back reluctantly on November 20 last
after its final try for the top ended short dis
tance from the summit under the onslaught OF
violent Himalayan storm. Everest remains un-
conquered, so far as the records are known, but
its victory will only strengthen the mysterious
urge of the mountain climbing clan to renew the
contest. It has always been that way.
Only true mountain climber can under
stand the lure that Everest holds for those who
would reach this "top of the world" The lure
is the principal reason for existence OF midas
famed Himalayan Club, which keeps detailed
records of each expedition. Since 1921 there have
been 10 attempts to scale the high peak, eight
by British teams and two by Swiss climbers
Some of these parties got within few hundred
feet of the top, and some persons believe that
the Inflated British Mallory-Irvine expedition
may have succeeded before disaster struck
George Mallory and Andrew Irvine in 1924 were
last reported by their companions as struggling
upward close to the goal. Then they disappeared
from view behind misty screen. They were
never seen again.
To many persons mountain climbing may
seem useless sort of pioneering. There are
many forms of adventure as healthful and less
dangerous. Exploring the polar regions or other
remote Businesses Of the earth offers not only
tests of physical endurance, ingenuity and SKILL
but the possibility of discovering useful knowl-
edge or natural resources. But the man who
first plants his feet on the tip Of Mount Everest
and returns to tell about 1t will not contribute
much to the sum Of mans intelligence or future
well-being. Yet the unequal battle between man
and mountain is certain to go on. The challenge
Of Everest is too tantalizing to be long ignored.

Not Coptivoted by Cabinet

The Stars December 2 editorial, "The
Eisenhower Cabinet" is very interesting.
However, there are spots in it to which
we can take exception.
The editorial states: HE has chosen
eight men Of diverse careers :" That
Is correct. but 1t is significant and i'm
portant to note that among these eight
men, not one of them comes from small
business ranks. It Is reported from
Government authorities that in the
small business ranks section of our ma
tional economy there are at least four
million small business institutions of
all descriptions. If this is true, and we
believe 1t is, then it is our opinion that
small business should have received
proper recognition in the new cabinet
the same as has been accorded to big
business, big labor and agriculture.
The editorial continues: "It is not a
cabinet that could be described broadly
as big business group :" We
cannot, by the widest stretch of the
imagination place any other label on the
appointments other than big business
in high gear. There Is no disrespect to
the gentlemen appointed, but it is largely
a big-business cabinet and it is our hope
and trust that these men will give due
consideration to the problems of small
business.
The editorial states further: Selected
mostly from what Is generally considered
the more liberal wing of the Republican
Party -" think the proper classifi-
cation would be that those new ap-
pointees are more inclined to be the
international type rather than the lib
eral wing.
Admitting that our Nations help is
needed to bring peace throughout the
world, at the same time it is our hope
that the new administration and the
new cabinet will give serious thought to
protect the future welfare of our Nation.
This should be the paramount objective.

lished in the U. K, the Episcopal
Church built the first schools in $4,000
villages in England and parish church
in nearly every parish in the land.
There was one place near my home at
Enderby where on Sunday evenings we
could hear the bells of seven parish
churches. all ringing at the same time
calling the little people in the little
places to worship God. Then they go
out into the big world and none dares
to make them afraid. We cannot help
where we are born, but we can thank
God for birth and education in Chris

including the King James, has met with
strenuous opposition. That is to be

that the new revised translation will

Revised Bible

have noted with interest number
of news stories regarding the opposi-
ton which has arisen to the new trans
lation of the Bible. Much Of this Is
due, Of course, to the natural human
tendency to resent change in any form.
especially when the change involves
religious and spiritual matters.
However. there is one phase OF the
subject which has been entirely over
looked, and which, In my opinion, plays
large part in the opposition which
has arisen, viz. the fact that the new
translation was sponsored by the Ma
tional Council of Churches. This or
SANITATION, to which most of our major
Protestant bodies belong, is looked upon
with suspicion by many conservatives
and fundamentalists, and these would
disown anything that is related in any
way to the National Council.
I am told that the little church IN
Rocky Mount, N. c., whose pastor
burned page of the new translation
in his pulpit, is not even affiliated with
the Baptist Convention of that State,
nor with the Southern Baptist Conven-
tion.

Seacrest Seahawks they lost not whit of prestige
in doing. The loss, hearbreaker and their first in

ofrather they should be proud of the way they stood
up and fought with the odds against them. They match

thrills, the greatest of which the way the Key
