In an unusual letter, George
Frederick Miller points out a
fallacious statement in another
letter regarding the impor-
lance of religion in life, then
attacks all religion.
Considering Mr.. Miller's lack
of religious convictions, he
might be reminded that there
have been a few of the worlds
great thinkers who have ac-
cepted the Bible as the one
true guide to abundant life.
Gladstone, Ruskin, Carlyle,
Kant, Newton, Goethe, Ten
nySon and Thomas Huxley
were not intellectually stag
nant, yet each recognized the
Importance of the Bible to
society. The great leaders of
our Nation in the past land
PRESENT. have been men of
firm religious convictions. In
spite of their faults no one
can doubt the sincerity of be-
lief and purpose of men of the
caliber of Franklin, Lincoln,
Washington, jackson and Pat
rick Henry. Could these men
have done what they did for
mankind. and still have been
led about by Christian my
theology?
Does Mr.. Miller think that
the best way to overcome the
growing delinquency problem
is to abolish the Sunday
school? Or does he suppose
relinquishing church services
will aid us in leaving the
slough Of moral corruption?
And is it likely that wen de-
feat atheistic communism by
casting aside the very basic
principles of the Scriptures?
Perhaps he would rather live
in a Nation that doesn't know
anything Of the influence of
religious faith. But as for
me, I'd rather be dead!

Frederick Miller's answer to

Your August 81 editorial.
1.-THE Threat of Imitation" says:
1T has been a valid claim of
the Eisenhower administration
that the progress Of imitation
which set in with the Korean
war has been checked in the
past three and one-half years"
The fact is that the danger
of imitation had passed before
this administration entered
Office, as Chairman William
Martin of the Federal Reserve
Board noted before the Invest
ment Bankers Association in
December, 1852.
The panic buying price squirt
induced by the shock of the
Korean crisis in June, 1850,
had already subsidized by Feb
ruary, 1851, as Prof. Alvin H.
Hansen testified before the
Congressional Joint Committee
on the Economic Report in
February, 1854. 1.-THE price
structure is in reasonably good
balance" he said. There has
been no stock market inf1a-
ton. no excessive expansion Of
bank credit and no serious
interindustry Embellishments.
In December. 1853 ). whole
sale prices were slightly down:
consumer prices (due largely
to delayed rent increases) were
slightly up. Together they rep
resent a high degree of price
stability. 1t would be difficult
to find any period in our his
tory where so high a degree
of price stability combined
with so large a gross in OUT
put as the three years 1851,
1852 and 1883"
Herbert Hoover, addressing
the American Society of News
paper Editors in April, 1854,
denied that imitation had been
stopped. He spoke as a ''proph-
ct of doom" He said we were
counting economic disaster and
imitation was inevitable as long
as "the sin of the continued
deficit" was not washed away.
mo matter what some CHEEKY
economists say"
The Eisenhower administra-
ton gave lip service to the
theory Of the practical admin
istrator Hoover but acted ac-
cording to the prescription Of
the theorist Hansen. In an
address in San Francisco on
October IA, 1854, Gabriel
Hauge, the Presidents eco
nomic assistant. stated that
the President deliberately ruled
against balancing the budget
in that fiscal year because Ibis
judgment was that broad tax
reductions at that time were
essential for purposes Of over
all economic stability and
growth"
While you acknowledge "a
valid claim of the Eisenhower
administration" the Republic
can N. Y. Herald Tribune in
an editorial August 20 says: 1T
was the Democratic-controlled
82d Congress that stiffened
the backbone Of a Subservient
Federal Reserve and helped it
regain independence" Here, as
elsewhere, the present admin
istration inherited a policy for
which it now claims credit.
The Korean war imitation was
not checked in the last three
and one-half years. It was in
March. 1851. when the famous
Treasury-Federal Reserve ac-
cord was reached, whereby
Government bonds were un-
pegged and the Federal Re-
serve board allowed greater
fiexibility in its task Of main
tanning sound credit condi-
tions. Part of sound credit is
giving credit where 1t is due.

The bidding:
South West North East
- Pass Pass Pass
The sensible and winning at
titude lies somewhere between
these two extremes. OF course
your opponents will not always
defend perfectly. Defense is the
toughest part of the game be-
cause the partners cannot see
each Others hands. However. the
wise declarer will play in such
a manner that the correct de-
Tense is even harder to see than
usual.
In today's deal Mrs. Keen led
the queen of clubs, which was
taken with dummy'S king. 1t
was Immediately apparent that
four spades could not be made,
as the defenders could take three |
diamonds and a heart right off
the top. The club opening was
only a temporary respite as there
was no way to discard any of
these losers.
Now suppose you held Mr..
Abel's hand and could see only
that hand and the dummy. Also
suppose Mr.. Dale cashed three
top spades and then led the
queen of hearts. which you won
with the ace. At this point your
side would be out of trumps and
dummy would have four good
hearts and an entry in the ace
of clubs.
A small child would know that !
the only possible hope of taking
any more tricks lay in the dia-
mond suit. 1t might be said that |
you had been guided by sheer
force into the correct line of
defense.
But Of course Mr.. Dale did
not play that way. At trick two
he led the jack of hearts from
the board. Obviously Mr.. Abel
should play the ace and return |
q diamond. But this time the
issue is not quite as clear-cut.
For example, maybe Mr.. Dale
has no hearts at all. Maybe he
is hoping the ace will go up
on his right so that he can ruff,
return to dummy via the ace of
clubs and get rid of a diamond
on the king of hearts.
Certainly there is no way to
tell for sure. Mr.. Abel thought
long and hard. but finally came
up with the wrong answer. He
ducked and Mr.. Dale won with
the queen. A small spade was
then led to dummy's eight and /
the king of hearts returned
This time Mr.. Abel put up the
ace.
Mr.. Dale ruffed, picked up the /
rest of the trumps and got to
the board with the ace of clubs.
He discarded all of his diamonds
on the good hearts and made a |

LAW IN THE NEWS

The first State sedition cases
to come up since the contro-
versial Steve Nelson ruling by the
United States Supreme Court a
year ago have now been decided
in Massachusetts, and Kentucky.
Unfortunately, they have not
clarified one of the most i'm
portant legal aspects which the
Nelson case left up in the air.
That was the question of
weather or not the Supreme
Courts decision took all matters
Of sedition away from State
Jurisdiction or just seditious
activity directed toward the
United States. To put it another
way, did the decision eliminate
completely the possible existence
of such a thing as sedition di-
rected toward an individual
State?
Wide Disagreement
Ever since the Nelson ruling
there has been considerable dis
agreement among lawyers and
politicians on this important
point. Some have held to the view
that the Nelson decision pre-
empted the sedition field en-
tirely in favor of the Federal
Government. Others have
thought it took prosecution for
sedition out of the hands of the
