Ever look a statistic in the eye?
Take a look in the mirror before
you leave the house to drive to
work this morning. Before the
days over, you'll turn up among
the statiStics-either as one of
the drivers who had no accidents
today or as one of those killed or
injured.
1t all depends on you. Because
you are the driver who causes
accidents-or prevents them.
You are statistic.
One sure way to turn up on
the accident side of the ledger
is to get into an impatient hurry.

stepped on the accelerator and nearly ran over
the policeman. The latter fired one Shot-he

But the bullet crashed into living room across

The lessons to be learned are that any
motorist, thinking himself threatened by a
man in civilian clothes looming out of the
fog, is very apt to step on the gas. A police
officer ought to realize this and, generally
speaking, a policeman ought not to shoot
to hit motoriSt fleeing under these cir
cumstances. II he shoots at a tire, or a gas
tank he ought to be sure that some third
person is not in his line of fire.
There undoubtedly are times when

The Fl Who Stroyed From Fold

The 81 Americans who apparently
chose communism in Korea have been
the subject of many news stories re-
Gently.
The question is. Did these 81 Ameri-
cans actually choose communism with
an open mind or was such a decision
made under duration of mental stress,
brought about by months in the front
lines plus mental stress brought to bear
on them while in the hands OF the
semicivilized Communists?
These 81 Americans who are lost"
may be likened to the parable of the
shepherd and his lost sheep in the
Bible. The sheep strayed off and be-
came lost but the good shepherd did
not give up until the sheep was found"
Also. there is the parable of the prodigal
son who was welcomed back after hav-
ing gone "astray.' We can also re-
member phrase which says, I'VE are
our brothers keeper"
The 81 Americans will obviously be
done away with when their usefulness
comes to an end.

Christianity as Christian Nation.

found? r. J. Sinabac.

The Miles to Milky Way.

The solar system is $4,000 light years
OR about $50 quadrillion miles-from
the black-veiled center of the Milky
Way galaxy.
This has just been reported at a
conference on radio astronomy under
the auspices of the National Science
Foundation here by Drs. H. c. van de
Hulst and j. H. Oort of the Leyden
Observatory in Holland.
This is one of the findings of the
Dutch astronomers from the radiation
of colliding atoms Of hydrogen from
behind the gigantic cloud of interstellar
dust which is Opaque to visible light and
hence has barred any observations Of
the center of the universe. which lies
in the direction of the southern con-
stellation Sagittarius
The hydrogen collision radiation, the
Dutch astronomers reported. promises
to be one of the most valuable tools
ever placed in the hands of students
of the structure of the universe. 1t
comes in on a wave length of 81 cent?
meters. 1t is an extremely feeble radi-
alton whose detection and interpreta-
ton require techniques not yet fully
developed.
The first hydrogen radiation has just
been detected from outside the galaxy.
it was reported by DR.. B. Y. Mills of
Australia. one of the pioneers of the
new radio astronomy. 1t comes from
the Clouds of Magellan in the southern
heavens They are small galaxies
which apparently revolve around the
00-billon-star Milky Way galaxy like
planets around the sun.
The new observations make it pos
Sible for the first time to measure the
size OF these great star aeeregations.
The mass of gas in the larger Cloud OF
Magellan turns out DR.. Mills reported,
to be 200 million times that of the sun
and may represent about half the mass
of the whole star cloud.
The gas observations also show that
the two clouds are rotating around
each other, like double stars, and are
close enough together so that their
shapes are distorted by each others
tidal forces
Much of the hydrogen radiation, it
was reported. is associated with dust
clouds in the Milky Way which appear
OFFICIALLY as dark holes hiding distant
stars.

We are grateful for your editorial Of
January 20. 'Pentagon Surrender. !"
Situations of the sort described in it.
the stoning of American troops in the
streets of South Boston-are frequently
played down by the press in general,
and we should know about them. They
are rotten straws in the wind.
That our leaders-military and civil
ian-and the rest of us are condon-
ing it is becoming shockingly apparent.
The terms United States Army and
American" have been proud symbols.
What is behind the seemingly mounting
tendency to belittle them? Is it mere
cowardice, rnawkishness, unmanliness.
general decadence? If the political
gentlemen are interested only in votes,
they might pause and remember that
there are voters in Massachusetts who
do not live in South Boston.
AS a former resident of MaSSachu-
sets, graduate of Senator Salton-
stalls alma mater, a former soldier, and
an American, resent bitterly the de-
cision of the Pentagon that you report,
the political pressure that forced it..
and the whole system in this country
of encouraging its citizens to maintain
emotional attachment to foreign pow
ers. If there is parade for st. Pat
rick's Day, why not one for st. Georges
Day? The nation under patronage Of
st. George at least fought side by side
with us in the last war (not counting
the Korean episode as "reap war;.

'UnoIterobIy Opposed

In his letter to Senator Knowland, the
President went about in his fight against the
Bricker amendment. And it is good thing
that he has done so.
Senator Bricker and his supporters are
using desperation tactics. The Ohioan, for
instance, has sent letter to his senatorial
colleagues. In it, he came very close to ques-
tioning either the intelligence or the integrity
of the President. In speech this week TO a
group of women supporters he said II was
not elected to the Senate to destroy our liber-
ties" A supporter Of the Bricker resolution,
Frank E. Holman told the same group Of a
conversation he claimed to have had with
Senator McCarran. He said he agreed with the
Senator that one of the greatest accomplish
ments in this fight would be ito put some of
the Senators on record and find out who's for
the United States and who isn't"
The President, in the face of such nonsense
as this has kept his temper. The letter to
Senator Knowland dealt with the issue, as
General Eisenhower sees it. This is what he
said:
am unalterably opposed to the Bricker
amendment as reported by the Senate Judi
clary Committee 1t would restrict the
conduct OF foreign affairs that our country
could not negotiate the agreements necessary
Tor the handling OF our business with the rest
OF the world. Such an amendment would
make 1t impossible for us to deal effectively
with friendly nations for our mutual defense
and common interests
These matters are fundamental We
cannot hope to achieve and maintain peace
If We shackle the Federal Government so that
1t Is no longer sovereign in foreign affairs
The President must not be deprived of his
historical position the spokesman for the
Nation in its relations with other countries
This is responsible leadership in the best
sense OF the term. Senator Bricker and few
others may persist in their attempt to discredit
and disable the President of the United States.
But in view of the unyielding position taken
by General Eisenhower. the prospect is that
there will not be corporars guard to stand
with them when the showdown comes on the
key sections of the Bricker scheme.
