RELIGION FOR THE HARD
HEADED by Alice Franklin Bry-
ant, Dodd, Mead & Company,
1858. $500.
In this stimulating and compact
volume, the author has set forth
the minimum essentials of
workable Christian philosophy and
reveals its tremendous creative
and redeeming power for living
For the sake of greater interest,
the discussion takes the form of
dialogue between Believer on
the one hand, and Harhhead (who
thinks seeing is believing), Agno-
site (who has great faith in
science) and Skeptic (who is com
pletely doubtfuD, on the other.
An amazing range of topics is
considered briefly in these con-
versations, among them the ex-
istence and nature of God, the ba-
sis of faith, the scientific confir-
nation of miracles, the inspiration
of the Scriptures, the historicity of
Christ, the relation of Christianity
to other religions, the meaning of
the Golden Rule, the essence of
the Gospel, the case for immortali-
ty, the problems of evil and of
war, and Christianity as a way of
life.
A Missourian by birth, Alice
Franklin Bryant has lived in Ha-
wall, China and the Philippines,
where she was interned in one of
the notorious prison camps during
World War II. She now lives in
Seattle where she lectures on po-
litical and social topics, and writes
for various periodicals and maya
zines.
About the author, the great
American scientist Robert A. Mill
kan, wrote as follows:
Zone of the most telling fea-
lures of Mrs. Bryant's writing
is that it is repete with we'll
chosen quotations from the
great thinkers of the past as
we'll as from modern scholars.
She certainly has succeeded in
her avowed aim of writing Re
igion for the Hardheaded' in
such a way as to be easily in
telligible both to the religious
ly illiterate and to those of linn
tied general education, and yet
to make it so meaty and sound
ly logical as to advance the
thinking of church members
and university graduates"

rather than one of prevention.
"The present staff is made
quate for carrying out a correc-
tive program which includes re-
sponsibilities for enforcing the
new housing regulations. i.
Consideration should also be
given to the fact that lack of
adequate staff to effectuate the
proposed comprehensive program
will cause the District of Colum-
bia to be ineligible for Federal
aid under the provisions of the
Housing Act of 1884"
SIS Daily Salary.
The budget request sought 81
$50 to pay $25 a day to the three

the costs against the owners tax
bills. The cost was estimated
at an average of $3.50 building.
The department asked for $20,-
407. including salaries for five
electrical inspectors, to inspect
window air conditioners-which
must be registered with the de-
partment at fee of 81 each.
$4,000 Installations Anticipated.

request said, that $4,000 air.

the request said, the department
is ''in the position of requiring
registration and not being able
to enforce such requirement and
not being able to inspect and
approve registered units for
which the District has accepted
a fee."
Proposing an increase in its
public training program, the
Office of Civil Defense asked for
three more employees to handle
it.

The Office also asked for funds
to purchase a second mobile con-
troll center, to be stored with the
