Long Term Outlook

THE key portion of the recent Korean
truce agreement is that section which
specifies that a post-truce political con-
ference will be held between high-level
officials of both sides which have partici-
pated in the Korean War The success of
that conference may decide the question
of war and peace in Asia
The vital section of the truce agree
ment reads as follows: "In order to insure
a peaceful settlement of the Korean ques-
ton, the military commanders of both sides
hereby recommend to the governments of
the countries concerned that, within three
months after an armistice agreement is
signed and becomes effective. political
conference at higher level of both sides be

the Korean question, etc"
1t will be noted that in this section, the
withdrawal Of all foreign troops from
Korea is specifically mentioned. The draw
back to this proposal, from the Allied point
of view, comes from the reluctance of the
United States, and other U. n powers, to
withdraw their troops from South Korea
too hastily once again U. S. troops with
drew from South Korea in 1949 and the
North Koreans attacked South Korea in
June, 1850
1t may be necessary, therefore, to arrive
at this solution only after period of years
And, even after the years of occupation are
ended, Korea would probably be placed
under the protective authority of the
United Nations, so that any new attempt at
aggression would Immediately be recogniz-
ed as Communist attack on the forces of
the various United Nations members.

Business Taking to the Air

4 recent investigation showed business
firms are utilizing private aircraft to
an increasing extent to provide transport
tation for executives. Whereas the COM
panies have traditionally relied on public
transportation, today many business or
carnations are turning to business-owned
aircraft.
To get an idea Of the extent of the
trend, one need only glance at the ar-mile
figures in 1852 for privately owned COM
pany planes and scheduled airliners. 1t is
surprising to learn that the privately-own-
ed company planes logged 420,000,00O miles
to approximately 455,000000 miles logged

Fishing and Fishermen

In summer time, it's fishing time
When the sky is blue and clear
And were sure the fish are biting
Long about this time each year
SO we get out all our tackle
And each piece is overhauled;
For the fishing urge has struck us
And the warm outdoors has called
It's sport which gives US pleasure
With allure that seldom fails,
And at times it is productive
OF some tall fictitious tales
The size of fish we hope to catch
Fills fishermen with delight;
For we don't know when we start out
What Well brag about that night
Most fishermen are friendly guys
Who Joke and laugh at fishing time.
There's never one too old to fish
For they never pass their prime
Most time YOU can depend upon
What these friendly anglers say
Until they start their tales about

You Received Christ

Speaking OF the way the Chris

received Christ" That is what
ought to happen at the very start.
II it does not happen. there is no
real start. What do we receive
at the beginning Of the Christian
life? A certificate Of church mem
bership? Water? The Communion

Lutheran? Even name like

SO Live in Him

So Live in Him
Paul says the Christian Is
rooted in Christ Gas if we were
plants and built up in him or
on him Gas if we were brick walIs).
He puts these both together when
he says Live in him." II we are
like plants rooted" in Christ,
that means he is to us what the
soil is to a plant. All our spir~
itual life comes from him. Not
from a book. from creed. from
set of ideas, least of all from
our own thin selves; but from
Christ, in whom is ali the full
ness OF God" Again. if we are
built on him, that means he
sets the line of our lives. Just
as wall cannot lean one way
or the other off its foundation.
and still stand. so our lives either
follow the line that Christ has
set. or they collapse.
Mature in Christ
Christ is not only the ground
and foundation. he is the goal Of
life for the, Christian. Are we
walls? He is the blueprint. Are
we plants? He is perfect speci-
men. Paul wants every Christian
not a few selected saints!-to
be mature in Christ" (The older
translation perfect" is mislead-
ing. since the Greek word means
mature. not perfect nor sinless)
Why is it we are so easily self
satisfied? Why are so many Chris
tians midgets, permanent babies,
in mind and spirit and character,
when they ought to be growing
up? Once there was baby whose
parents lived at some distance
from other families with small
children. For more than year
they thought their baby was do
ing very well, Then they visited
another family where there was
a normal baby. the same age as
their own. For the first time, they
realized their own child had not
grown as it should. So we Chris
tians compare ourselves with our
selves, or with other imperfect
Christians. and we are foolishly

Stevenson Doubts

Morse Status Poses
Senate Problem in
Forming Committees

The question of what to do
about committee assignments
for Senator Morse of Oregon is
believed to be one of the prob
lens delaying action until to-
morrow on the revamping Of
Senate committees.
The Oregon Senator bolted
the Republican party to support
Gov. Adlai Stevenson for Presi-
dent, and the Republicans are
trying to toss the job of Morse
committee assignments to the
Democrats.
Senator Morse, who now
classes himself as an Inde-
pendent. served notice yester-
day he will make a floor fight
to keep his present posts on the
Armed Services and Labor
Committees. The trouble is
that committee assignments are
recommended to the Senate by
the party organizations, and
Senator Morse is not now at
tending either the Republican
or Democratic caucuses.
Law Fixes Two Assignments.
The law provides that every
Senator must be- given at least
two committees, but if neither
of the major parties renew his
present assignments, he will get
two that are left after all other
Senators have been taken care of.
These undoubtedly would be on
minor committees.
The Republicans got through
the Rules Committee yesterday
afternoon a resolution increas-
ing the size of the important
committees from 13 to Is mem
bers each, and reducing minor
committees from 13 to II.
Their purpose is to make sure
the Republicans have a clear
majority of eight on all commit
tees. The difficulty in Senator
Morse's case is that the Demo-
Gratis already have seven menu
bers each on Armed Services
and Labor.
Taft Seeks Quick Action.
This means that to leave Sen
ator Morse on those committees
they would have to bump" a
Democrat from each group. Sem
ator Morse told the Senate yes
terday he does not want the Re-
publicans to give him his assign
ments.
Even II two Democrats were
willing to give up their places on
Armed Services and labor there
would be other Democrats on
lesser committees, anxious to
move up to those vacancies.
Majority Leader Taft tried to
get quick action late yesterday
on the resolution changing the
size of committees, but Minority
Leader Lyndon johnson asked
for more time to study the pro-
posal. Senator Taft readily
agreed to put off action until
tomorrow. Meanwhile. the two
leaders will confer on the details.
