Ruling on FIJI
Files Declared
.iSconStrued
BY the Associated Press

Senator O'Mahoney, Demo-
crat of Wyoming. says there
have been demonstrations
and misinterpretations" of a
recent Supreme Court decision
allowing defendants in Federal
trials certain access to FBI files.
Senator O'Mahoney raised
that point as the Senate opened
debate on a bill which would
limit the inspection a de-
PENDANT can make of the FBI
records. A vote was postponed
until next week.
The High Court ruled June
3 that a defendant can see
secret FBI files containing in
formation supplied by a Gov
eminent witness against him,
when the information relates
to testimony of the witness.
Attorney General Brownell
has said the ruling created an
emergency in law enforcement.
Under terms of the bill be-
fore the Senate. a Federal
judge would produce state
ments. made to the FBI by a
witness, that are pertinent to
the witness testimony. If the
Government objected the court
would decide what portions of
the files could be withheld. 1t
then would order relevant ma
terial turned over to the de-
Tense
II the Government still OBJ
jected and did not comply with
that order. the court could
strike all Of the testimony of
the witness. declare a mistrial.
or order dismissal of the in
dictment.
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
oregon. said that all the Su-
preme Court had said was that
a defendant was entitled to see
prior statements made to Gov
eminent agencies by witnesses
for the Government.
He added that some officials
are more concerned with pill
ing up convictions than in ad-
ministering justice.

Health OF body and health OF
mind are two Of the most i'm.
portant possessions in the world.
These two possessions are avail.
able If you wish them. No one
understands just exactly what
healing is and no one can ex'
plain exactly how it takes place,
but you know that if you prick
your finger, it heals itself.
When a physician treats you
for a cold or for another disease,
he does not heal. He simply acts
as an agent. When an operation
is performed, the surgeon does
not heal. He simply makes an
i~ncision, closes the wound and
waits for healing to take place.
Healing is a miracle whereby a
tissue Oh an organ is restored to
its normal function.
But many people do not realize
that our mental attitude has
much to do with our physical
condition. Fear, guilt, resent
inent, spite and hate all affect
US physically. Circulation Of the
blood is changed, capillaries are
restricted and the blood pressure
goes up. This puts an added load
on the heart and makes the body
wear out before it is time.
A minister once told me Of a
lady in South Carolina who was
Suffering from wrong thinking.
IIe said:
"She was a member Of my
church for several years. She
vas the very picture Of health
aud a charming, wonderful per-
ean to be around.
But something happened.
Something, which she never dis
closed, caused a feeling Of re-
sentiment and fear to come upon
her. Soon she was complaining
Of being unable to swallow. Con-
tinuously her throat worked in a
swallowing motion but she could

find no relief. She complained OF
choking, Of difficulty in breath.
ing. i prayed with her. / Of
fered her the comfort and power
Of the Bible but she would not
accept it. Her husband thought
that she was insane and threat.
ened to place her in an institu.
ton. Many physicians treated
her, but when | moved away to
another p~astorate she had not
recovered.
About four years later, I Wis.
tied in her city and her church.
Someone spoke to my wife ard
me and when we did not recog.
nize her, she informed US that
she was the young woman Wno
had been suffering.
How utterly shocked we were.
This young woman of about 30
years Of age in the brief span Of
three years had turned complete
ly gray. Her face was lined and
wrinkled; her hands were shaky
and every visible indication
showed a woman of at least 55
or so years of age. Her fears and
her resentment had done this to
her."
Now, while this is a rather I'm,
usual illustration, it shows the
power and effect Of wrong think
ing. Develop right attitudes"
Of love and cheer. Wipe out the
negative attitudes that affect the
health Of mind and body! Psy-
biologists call this type Of treat
ment 'psychosomatic medicine"
But it simply means to follow
the wonderful suggestions that
the Bible gives us for a healthy
mind and body. Let me give
them to you: /. "a cheerful
heart is a good medicine" 2. "a
glad heart maketh a cheerful
countenance; but by sorrow Of
heart the spirit is broken" 3. "As
a man thinketh within himself,
so is he"
