BALTIMORE, Feb. 10. - The
editor Of a scholarly quarterly
said yesterday scientists in Jeru-
salem have pieced together an
other scrap of Biblical manu-
script found about two years ago
in a cave overlooking the Dead
Sea.
The q small pieces Of parch-
ment were identified as parts of
Chapters One and Two of the
First Book of Samuel.
Eli, the high priest who
trained Samuel, was 80 years
old when he died. according to
the basic Hebrew text, it was
disclosed in the quarterly.
The Quarterly, the Bulletin of
the American Schools of Orien-
tai Research, said Ellis exact age
had not been know before. It
also said the congregation or
religious order Samuel belonged
to has been established from the
text.

DR.. Albright says "All hand
books on the Bible, early Chris
tianity and the history Of Juda-
ism will soon be in need Of
dramatic revision" as q result of
the discoveries in the Dead Sea
caves.
He doubts. however, that much
light will be shed on the actual
life and teachings of Christ
since much of the New Testa-
ment is thought to have been
written after the abandonment
of the caves in about A. d. 10.

free million-dollar idea?
Well, fellow gave me one the

it on to you-and you are welcome

"A great amount Of effort and
energy is spent thinking up gadgets
to keep the young happy or soften
the woes of the elderly. But no.
body pays any attention to the
middle-aged.
"Yet there are more middle.aged
people than any other kind. Why
should we have to shift for our.

somebody exert a little brain pow

when a man is too old to enjoy
playing postoffice and too young to

Saturday morning, we were met
at the hotel and was taken for q
complete sightseeing trip of the
City Of Brussels. The weather was
Istill bad but we visited quite q
number Of parks in the City and
visited st. Gudule Church. After
wards, we went to visit the I'm
known Soldier Memorial and the
Military Museum which contained
uniforms from many countries
from different eras, together with
many types of armament.
One Of the things that impressed
US the most was the exhibit left
there by the Russian Monarchists,
things that belonged to the Gar
and his family. From time to time,
many of the nonarchists come to
this museum on a pilgrimage. The
exhibit presented by the United
States was very beautiful and con.
tanned both the Army and Navy
uniforms for the past fifty years
and also contained many old arms,
cannons and so forth.
We then visited the Wiertx Mus
cum where we saw quite number
of his paintings. We then passed
by the Houses of Parliament, the
National Shooting Gallery, the Roy
al Park, the Royal Academy, the
Palace Of Justice, which was built
in 1880, stands on a high hill where
one can see almost all of Brussels.
I'VE then went to see the famous
Mannequinpis. This is a world re-
nowned statue Of a little boy al
the corner Of two old streets.
After lunch, we we're pleasantly
surprised by a visit from Father
Leo de Wider, a priest from Client,
Belgium whom had met two
years ago and with whom I had
travelled for a week In Southern
Spain. That afternoon, we went to
see lace weaving.
Belgian Wedding
We also visited the Gothic City
Hall inside of which there are some
beautiful tapestry. While visiting In
the City Hall, we saw a wedding
that was taking place. In Belgium,
i Il Is necessary that a civil cere-
mony Of marriage be performed
prior to the Church ceremony, as
a matter of fact, the Church cere-
mony need not be performed but
the civil ceremony must be per-
formed and It is performed by one
Iof the aldermen. The marriages
are on Saturday but the ceremony
may be performed on Wednesday
by paying double.
It was very strange to see the
different couples waiting their turn
to be married and then on leaving
the City Hall seeing the photo
graphers waiting TO take the pic
lures. The buildings around the
City Hall are the old guild houses
most Of which date several hum
dred years.
In the morning, we had break
fast at the hotel and then Lillian
and I went to Mass at the Church
Iof the Finisterre, a Church over
three hundred years old. We left
Brussels at 1925 for The Hague,
Holland, having lunch on the train.
As we reached the border, we
noticed that in the first town in
Holland there were many people
at the station. We found that q
group of Dutch soldiers was COM
ing in from Korea and their home
town was receiving them.

several why the Cafornians trip success

officials are not always productive.
In the first place, the President avoided the
usual pfall of popping off controversial questions
abroad He won few headlines with sensational state
ments. and upset few diplomats either In Washington
or abroad with his on-the-spot announcements.
In the second place. the President is attempting
to take active role in the direction of U.s. policy and
ne is now in position to influence US. foreign policy
perhaps much any other VicePresdent in history.
Certainly he acquainted with the problems confronting
this Government in every corner of the world.
Since the Vice-Presdent would become the Chief
Executive Of this country in the event anything happened
TO President Eisenhower it is well that he has completed
this tour. In completing it. he has demonstrated ca
pacity for restraint in talking with reporters which is
not universal virtue by any means. these days.
