Grated and "relive again their

Without Registering

A Federal court jury today or
dered Columnist Drew. Pearson
to pay $50,001 libel damages to
Norman M. Littell. a former As
sistant Attorney General under
Francis Biddle.
The verdict was given on an
allegation that Mr.. Pearson had
reported that the Department Of
Justice was casting a "quizzical
glance" at Mr.. Littell for being a
Dutch propaganda without
being so registered.
Mr.. Littell had sued for
$6O0,OO0 on that and another
allegation that the columnist had
reported Mr.. Littell was under
Justice Department scrutiny for
acting in a similar way for the
Polish government.
81 Punitive Damages.
The panel of nine men and
three women disagreed on the
Polish question. 1t awarded Mr..
Littell $50.000 compensatory
damages and 81 punitive dam

tions. It is to the effect that Mr..
Littell has just purchased two
houses despite his alleged dam
ages"

damage ever granted in his SO
years with the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-

When The Bible Does
Not Sneak

Some people think Of the Bible
as a kind Of rule-book. Well, there
are rules in it, and some Of them
are applicable to our modern prob
lens. But we have some problems
in modern living that the Bible
says nothing about. For instance:
Shall a Christian use tobacco? Is
il a sin for the Christian TO bear
arms? These and many other ques-
tons are not dealt with in the Bible
as fatty and sharply as Thou
shalt not steal" For this reason,
many Christians think that if the
Bible does not mention some prob
lem in so many words, they are
free to do as they please about it,
BY no means The Christian is
free from the law as a curse, as a
condition Of God s favor, or as a
cage, but he is never free from
the law Of love And since God is
love, and since love is the law Of
our life as Christians, then the
Bible always does have something
to say about every situation, 1t has
at least this to say: What does love
Gods kind of love- suggest

We Know Love

Even if you do not know what the
law is, you always know what love
is. Because we do know, naturally
and always. what it is to love our
selves. Loving yourself means
keeping your own interests at
heart, giving yourself the benefit
OF the doubt.
The divine law of love is Be
just as much interested in others
as you are in yourself. Be willing
to take trouble for them, watch
out for them, give them the bene-
fit of the doubt, think ahead for
them. When St. Paul talks about
Christians being free, he does not
mean being free from love, but
for love. What is ii that ties us
down and keeps us from loving our
neighbor? Isn't it our love for our
selves? The Christian way Of life
is to be free from our own de-
mands so as to be free to serve
others.

Freedom And The Spirit

Some Christians have made the
mistake of thinking that II per-
son is spiritual enough, he will be
set free from all human obHga-
tons They have supposed that the
law Of love in the sense of love
to ones neighbor, is on a lower
plane somehow than love Of God ;
and that if a man once gets up in
the shakespeare of the divine love,
then he can simply forget the
world outright No one who takes
his New Testament seriously can
make that mistake. Read in Gal
5:22-25 Paul's list of the fruits Of
the Spirit. These are not ripened
in solitude, but in company with
others and in their service.

Indian Women Believe They

BY sELIc S. HARRISON

ALLAHABAD, North India TT
In India, village women heartily
agree that the place for the gals is
in the home.
That is the challenge faced by
seven undetermined young Indi-
an women who are out to get the
mothers and daughters working
for farm improvement along with
the menfolk under the Indo-Ameri-
can Point Four program. AIlaha-
bad Agriculture Institute officials

bands out as Village teams" for
the first time a year ago. Their re-
port is that family customs break
down slowly, but none the less
surely.
I'm the beginning the villagers
would have nothing to do with us. .
commented 20-year-old Mrs. Udai
Singh. "They were not used to see
ing a woman outside her home and
so they simply refused to work
with either of us. Some people
even called us names"
But after weeks passed, many
villagers grew interested in dem
constructions by the Singh couple of
better fertilizer methods, digging
of compost pits TO prepare fertiliz-
er from manure, simple health,
handicrafts, and sanitation re-
forms.

AMMO SHORTAGE WRANGLE RAISES QUESTION
AS TO HOW MUCH AN ARMY SHOULD SHOOT

This increased rate of fire in
small arms and machine guns has
extended also into the heavier
caliber artillery pieces-eating up
ammunition supplies at far faster
rate than military planners ever
had anticipated.
The Pentagon when asked had
no figures readily available for a
precise comparison of the rate of
fire in World War LII as compared
to the Korean fighting. But Collins
has disclosed the comparatively
small U. N. force in Korea has
fired almost as much ammunition
as Americas giant World War II
armies expended in both the Pa
cific and European theaters during
all of World War II.
This revelation points up the fact
that American troops are depend
ing more and more on heavier
rates of fire. And it strongly indi-
Gates the Pentagon top command
has one concept of how much an
army should shoot--while the field
command has an entirely different
concept.
Secretary of Defense Wilson and
Secretary of the Army Stevens
both have indicated there were
shortages in certain types of am
munition, but that these shortages
are being corrected and the situa-
ton already is much better.
Wilson said: "As of now, we
have the ammunition necessary
for operations on the present
scale" Again it is significant that
Wilson added the phrase for
operations on the present scale. !"

WASHINGTON tR--The ammuni-

Gen. James A. Van Fleet raised
the serious question: "How much
ammunition should an army shoot
in attacking the enemy and defend

Fresh from Korea, Van Fleet
told senators that in all the %
months he commanded the Eighth

on he needed-and at times this

BY using the phrase ito repel
"a attack that actually developed, +"
Collins may have been saying he
thought the gunners in Korea were
bit trigger-happy over attacks
that didn't develop.
But the nation, Congress and
even the Army is learning it takes
a vastly greater amount of ammu-
milton in Korea's warfare than was
required by a force of equal size
in World War II.
