The chart indicates only: no

Lawson'S friends, his teammates
his football coach, Paul SEVERN,
are among the frequent visitors to
the 18th floor. SEVERN still is
stunned by the "one-in-a-million"
accident, as he calls it, which laid
Lawson low in his junior year.
Now and again at the hospital
there is enacted a little drama.
Students come and in unison kneel
and pray for Lawson's recovery.
This has been going on since the
night after the NewSport News,

Biblical Authority Scores
Charge Against New Version

DENVER IA top Biblical au-
thority says there is nothing to
claims that the New Revised Stand
ard Version of the Bible detractS
from the doctrine of the virgin
birth of Christ.
IAN the grounds that underlie
the doctrine of the virgin birth are
stated plainly and unequivocably in
the new version" DR.. Luther A.
Weigle, dean Of Yale University
Divinity School, told news con-
ference yesterday.
Anyone that says otherwise, he
added, is misrepresenting the facts.
Weigle, head of committee of
81 Biblical scholars who worked
Is years preparing the new Bible,
spoke out against attacks on it by
some individual ministers and re-
li-ious groups.
In Akron, Ohio, the Rev. Bill
Denton, superintendent of the Fur
mace Tree Mission, yesterday
uaad blow torch to burn a copy
o. the new version. Previously, a
Rocky Mount, N. c., pastor fired
a page from the Bible.
The American Council of Chrie
tan Churches, an organization of
small, -separatist denominations,
had announced plans for a lily
here tomorrow night to protest the
new Bible.
Chief grounds for their criticism
has been that in Isaiah TIA, the
word virgin" is replaced by
young woman in the new yer
sion. The .>ing James version
read: "A virgin shall conceive and
bear q son and shall call his name
Emmanuel"
Weigle said the change was made
because the iginal Hebrew manu-
script used the word "almah,
which means ''young woman" The
mistake, he said, was in Greek
translations Of the Hebrew, and It
was carried over into the King
James translation. Al other points
in the Old Testament, Weigle said,
the Greeks correctly translated the
word TO mean "young woman"
He said theological grounds for
the virgin birth, as contained in
the 18th, 2Oth, and 23rd verses of
Mathew /, and in verses 26 to 3S
of Luke l, remain absolutely as
firm as ever" in the New Testa-
ment.
Weigle said the condemnationS
have come mostly from "extre-
miSts" and notoriety seekers con-
nected with splinter groups, and
that they do not represent any sub
Stantial segment Of professionalism" /"

RICHMOND, Va. R-High in a
tall tower of cold brick and steel
in downtown Richmond, the Medi-
cal College of Virginia Hospital,
they keep a constant vigil at the
bedside of Charles Lawson.
Lawson, 22, is a final pathetic
reminder of the 1852 football sea-
son. For the past IS days he has
lain in a coma in his darkened
room on the 18th floor of the hos
pital.
On Nov. / Lawson, 8 tackle for
Randolph-Mac College, was Civ
ing one of the greatest perform

Hopkins University. Ripping
through the line in an effort to
stop a ball-carrier, he collideC
head-on with a teammate and re-
ceived a severe brain injury.
Two operations have been per-
formed to ease the pressure of a
blood clot out of reach of the sur
geon's knife. To neither operation
has Lawson responded.
Doctors say they can do no more
than wait. Long ago they gave up
medical hope for his recovery. But

tenacity that aStonishes physicians

NEW YORK R-Restoring part
of the value of the dollar you earn
or at the very least, hating the
Shrinkage in the value of the dollar
you save-will be one of the big
tasks to be tackled by the finan-
cial wizards in the coming year.
The dollar now buys scarcely
more than half as much in goods
and services as it did before World
War II. People now past their
working yesrs find their pre-war
savings shrunk-sometimes to the
point of poverty.
The initiation that brought this
about seems at last to have been
halted. The problem now is to pro-
tect the value of the dollar and try
to restore some of its lost pur-
chasing power.
William McChesney Martin Jr.,
chairman of the board of COVER
norS of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, says that returning financial
controls to a free market" sys-
tenn, and away from too much gov
ernment manipulation, should do
the trick.
But he outlines two serious r.
nSncial problems" of the coming
year: /. 1.-THE prospect of sub
stantial deficit in the federal
budget, and 2. "The recurrent
task cf refunding large amounts of
maturing government securities. j."
Both of these could start infla-
ton up again, and thus further
cheaper your dollar. -..
But the National City Bank OF
New York, in its December letter
out Wednesday, says both could
be avoided. and that actually the
dollars value can be improved If
government agencies will reverse
present fiscal policies,
The bank wants the federal re-
serve to curb credit expansion,
and says ii still has tools to do
that, despite congressional action
in clipping its power over conSum-
er credit.
The federal budget can be bal
anced, the bank says, If spend.
ing policies are revised so that
we get "more defense for fewer
dollars. And the fact that bill
lions of dollars have been appro-
| priated but are still unspent will
let the new Congress see if it
doesn't want 10 renege on some
! Of prior appropriations by pruning
back on plans already approved.
| Then the bank sails into the
problem Of management of the
! public debt. II notes that since
Is4s the gross volume Of public
debt instruments issued by the
| u. S. Treasury ''rsins to the fairly
incredible total of 900 billion dol
| lars"
So long as such q large float-
| ing debt hangs over the financial
system. the bank contends. the

ways be at hand. II urges that

Of the Presidents powers. And
while the Black opinion will be the
law of the land, unless or until it is
modified in the future, the con-
curing opinions also will stand as
part of the courts guide for future
Presidents for future courts.
Taken as body, the steel opinions
show that this court ruling was not
intended as final, generalized an
swer to the question of inherent
powers-nor even, necessarily, as the
last word for all seizure cases.
Justice Frankfurter affirmed this.
He approved Mr.. Blacks opinion with
this careful qualification: although
the considerations relevant to the
legal enforcement of the principle of
separation of powers seem to me
more complicated and ferible than
may appear from what Mr.. Justice
Black has written, join his opinion
because I thoroughly agree with the
application of the principle to the
circumstances OF this case. Mr..
Frankfurter said the steel issue
should be met without attempting
to define the Presidents powers
comprehensively."

observers when he opposed the Presi-

Homecoming

The good ship Columbine,
touching down at National Airport,
could hardly be said to have brought
Ike home to the arms of adoring
millions. About 1000 people were
on hand to welcome him. The few
ordinary voters who showed up,
that Sunday afternoon, found
themselves shouldered out of the
picture by official greeters. There
was plenty Of Pentagon brass in
evidence. There were officials Of
the administration which Ike had
been serving-and which he now
would attack. There were diplo-
mats of the NATO governments,
and a 17-gun salute for the ex-
NATO commander. There was one
woman with red parasol bearing
the legend II Like Ike" But the
whole affair was strictly formal,
strictly non-political-and strictly
unexciting.
Eisenhower stepped to the micro
phones and delivered his first
words on American soil as q can
didate for the presidency. I'VE
are home again." he said, "iust

When Ike took off his uniform, of
course, the action was symbolic
like a man taking off his coat be-
fore a fight. Abilene was to be the
dramatic first round. No one in
volved in the operation could fail
to be impressed by the enormity of
the stakes. Miss Doris Fleeson, an
astute observer, wrote that the
lowliest porter on the press train
was obviously caught up in the
emotion of the event. The moment
was approaching when Ike-having
shed the military cocoon-was to
burst forth in all his civil splendor
and sweep the Nation off its collec-
tive feet. This was not necessarily
what Ike himself had in mind. But
it was what millions of his COM
patriots expected of him. It was

Ruling Does Not End the Emergency Powers Dispute

AS Justice Black put it: 1.-THE Presi-
dents power to issue the (seizure)
order must stem either from an act
of Congress or from the Constitution
ITSELF" No law, he noted. gave the
President that power. Nor did the
Constitution. On the contrary. Con-
gress had voted against giving the
President seizure power.
The seizure order, said Justice Black,
was really a "law" in itself. But
under the Constitution all laws are
made by Congress. The President
can merely recommend or veto laws.
I'm the framework of our Constitu-
tion, the Presidents power to see that
the laws are faithfully executed re-
flutes the idea that he is to be law
maker"
Congress, Justice Black wrote, has
full power to make laws to handle
the steel strike. But only Congress
has that power. 1.-THE founders of
this Nation" said Justice Black, "en-
trusted the law-making power to the
Congress alone in both good times
and bad"
These were the words which seemed
at first glance to indicate that this
court had taken its stand against the
Presidents right to cope on his own
responsibility with any emergency
which might arise in the future, and
which had not been foreseen in ex-
listing law. Mr.. Truman had sought
to justify his seizure action by the
contention that the Constitution i'm
piled his right to take whatever action
was necessary to safeguard the Ma
tion's interests in an emergency. That
contention, it was said, had been
wholly slapped down.
Qualified Concurrence
Now the fact is that a close read
ing of the majority opinion reveals
that even Justice Black did not cate
gorically rule out the existence Of the
Presidents implied or inherent
powers in any circumstances. The
fact also is that in a case Of this kind,
the courts true stand cannot be
judged by the wording Of the major
ity opinion alone. Not until the
character Of the five concurring
opinions has been examined can the
decision be seen in fair perspective.
In the steel case, the concurring
opinions explaining why the major
ity agreed with Mr.. Black-cast q
revealing light on the general question
