ST. PAUL LUTHERAN

When Rev. Paul Setterholm, a
missionary TO Japan, spoke about
his work there, he started his
message by saying, Where there
he real growth, there is opposi-
ton" He referred to the perse-
cutions Of the Christians in the
early Christian church, as found
in the Acts of the Apostles. James
was killed and Peter was cast in
TO prison, but the word of God
grew and propered.
Pastor Setterholm emphasized
two facts about Japan as coun-
trv. FIrst-It is crowded. Where
ever YOU look you see crowds Of
people and mountains. Because Of
the many mountains, upon which
no one is living, the people are
crowded into small areas. Where
we have two or three people in
the United States they have from
| 80 to 40 in Japan.
About 14qs of the land is used
| for farming. In this volcanic SOIL
everything grows.
Second-This is civilized
country. Their cities are modern.
They have great industries. They
dress like Americans. They have
telephones, television and electric
lights. They are kind and thought
f,Il They are very much like we
are. They have the same prob
lens and troubles as we do.
Pastor Setterholm said the Jap
anese ask the American mission
ary, How do you feel about the
atomic bomb ?" The American
saws he is sorry that the bomb
was dropped on Japan.
They respect the Americans and
are sorry and disappointed when
we do not live up to their expec-
tations. The attitude of the
| American toward other races is
most important in the work of the
church. The attitude of the love
of Christ is necessary. Becoming
a Christian in Japan is a difficult
step to take. Their customs are
deeply rooted. 1t is considered I'M
patriotic to become a Christian.
Most of the people who are not
Christians are Shintoists, who
worship nature. The youth of Jap
an have no dreams and hopes fol-
the future. The gospel of Jesus
Christ, which is a message OF
peace and hope is what is needed
Pastor Setterholm closed his
sermon by saying that it is the
will of God that all nations shall
hear the message Of salvation. Be
cause of this we must share Chris
at home and abroad.-Anna Wen

Getting Around HandiIy
By JACK JONAS

THE ubiquitous American tourist
i admittedly is as difficult to fathom
as a foreign visitor who steps ashore
in the United States.
To illustrate, there Is the old story
Of the American tourist on river boat
in China.
The tourist asked, in his somewhat
shaky Chinese. why the river boat
captain did not fly the colors Of China
from his flagpole. His query met with
outlaws. A friend more verSed in the
tongue explained he had asked the
captain why he did not hang his wife
from the flagpole.
Stephen Streeter, a dedicated tour
ist with his feet currently planted pre-
cariously in Washington, would remedy
such confusion literally-witha wave
of the hand.
He proposes an International Sign
Language for Tourists. Going back to
the basic communication of prehistoric
times-talking with the hands-would,
he feels, make simpler the puzzle Of
getting along in a foreign country.
Mr.. Streeter Is one OF those for
tunate men who makes friends easily
in many tongues. He has them in viz
tually every place in the world there
is to go.
During his extensive private
travels, in his hitch with the Army
during World War II, and during CT
william jobs with the Allied Military
eminent and the international
Refugee Organization in Europe, he
became impressed with the difficulty
travellers have in getting to know one
another.
Now, as a travel expert, he feels
even more deeply the need for a COM
mon basis Of understanding.
THE average tourist" he says,

finds 1t hard to express himself He
does not want to take the trouble to
learn the language Of a country he
plans to visit. If he does, he soon
forgetS the little he has learned.
why shouldn't he talk with his
hands?
when you do that, you don't
have to worry about such things as
grammar and accents, or about
dialects.
Il recall how wrong accentuation
Of words nearly tripped me up once
in prewar Berlin when, after buying a
ticket to Komodienhaus Theater, l
asked a policeman where 1t was.
what theater? What theater?'
he kept repeating When I showed
him the ticket, his face Lit up with sur
prise as he blurted out, gagging and
chuckling. oh !. the KomOO dien-
haus! /. KomOO dienhaus, my dear
fellow, not the KOmodienhaus.'
I'm this case. the trouble was talk
ing with a man who put Prussian ac-
cent on German words"
Mr.. Streeter has worked out a
basic Language" Of symbols for 80
words. He estimates it would take be-
tween four and eight hours to learn
the sign language.
THE hand language Of the traffic
policeman Is almost universal" he
says. Nearly everybody knows what
we mean by shrug of the shoulder,
or finger to the lips to indicate
silence.
Signals like these can be broad
ened into a universal sign language
everybody can understand"
He emphasized that his sign
language is not designed for carrying
on lengthy conversations, but primar-
lily for tourists to make their needs

full cabinet? Why has he not recognized the Government,
combining departments for greater efficiency and economy?
AND WE COULD ask questions by the score, the an
sWers, or lack Of answers leaYing the public more b~ewildered
than ever. As a matter Of sheer political strategy, why did
the Governor time SO badly his dismissal of the Administrator
for St. Crox, coming SO closely on the heels of the House
Committee hearings? Even the White House quickly backed
water when public opposition was sounded to the setting of
squirrel traps on the White House lawnP That was good sense
and good politics.
IF THE PUBLIC Works and Resources Subcommittee
of the House Committee on Government Operations saw fit
to raise doubts as to the leadership being provided in these
Islands, there may be some basis. Even c~oncedng that poll
tics had its fullest impact, the facts and the record as they
are seen from this local vantage point give considerable
merit to the position taken by the subcommittee and adopted
by the full Committee.
TO DENY that there is lack Of leadership is to fly in the
face of what is clear on the very surface.

Editorial
LEADERSHIP WHERE IS IT?

II ITS REPORT to the Committee on Government
Operations the Public Works and Resources Subcommittee
of which Representative Earl Chudoff of Pennsylvania its
chairman pointed to an extremely delicate point which is
perhaps more unfortunate than much else of what the report
contained. The subcommittee pointed out that it was the
duty of federal officials to provide leadership and the neces-
sary training to develop responsible sefgovernment in the
Islands" according to one reported version.
MISTAKES THERE WILL be. That cannot be helped.
Differences Of opinion will exist, and it would indeed be
difficult to find any governor whose every act would at once
meet the full and subservient approval of all the people all
the time. What is significant is that the Committee should
find, during its brief visit, a lack of leadership which could
become evident In so short a time.
AND H SUBCOMMITTEE is not alone in this. An
outstanding report from the Washington Post quickly dis
covered that neither the Senate nor the Governor seemed too
anxious to meet the other half way.
THIS PAPER, AMONG others, has pointed out repeat
edlv the need for vision and the type of leadership which
would assure success in government. Examples are numerous
Of the lack Of concern for pressing problems and a search for
their solution.
FOLLOWING THE Archie Alexander administration it
was conceded by all that Governor Gordon had an excellent
opportunity to set the record straight to bring order and
leadership to government, and to take the initiative in a grand
venture for the type of government here which has not been
seen for some time. In language which the Governor knows
hest, he not only missed the signals, but fumbled the ball.
AT RISK Of constant repetition let it be said that.
expressions of opinion as to the Government are done in the
best spirit, completely devoid Of rancor or bitterness, with
no Interior motives, and certainly no axe to grind.

Mideasf Policy
Approval Seen
Big Bi-Purty Vote
Expected in House
By J. A. O'LEARY

The Eisenhower resolution to
curb Communist influence in the
Middle East Is expected to pass
the House this week by a SUBJ
stantial. and probably an over
whelming, vote.
Informed sources in both par
ties thought the opposition vote
would be less than SO out of a
current membership of 433.
It may be several weeks before
the Senate acts on the resolution,
but passage there also is ex-
Ipected. Present indications are
the Senate may go in for more
extensive. revision of the Ian
guage than the House.
In its favorable report, made
public yesterday. the House For
Ieign Affairs Committee urged the
administration to. follow up this
resolution by presenting to the
United Nations and to Congress
positive and comprehensive
measures" for dealing with the
basic causes of unrest in the
Middle East.
These problems. such as the
Arab-Israeli conflict and control
of the Suez Canal, are not dealt
with in this resolution.
Rather, the resolution is in
tended to put Congress on record
as backing policy of using the
Armed Forces to protect any ma
ton in that strategic area which
asks for help to head on an
overt Communist attack.
1t also would give the admins.

Young Opposes Raise
For, U.S.. Workers Now
Urges Delay
ForFuII Study
Of Problem
By JOSEPH YOUNG

Civil Service Commission
Chairman Philip Young last
might called for postponement Of
any pay raises for Federal clas-
sified and postal workers until
the Governments salary struc-
ture is studied thoroughly by a
special presidential pay commits
sion.
Mr.. Young expressed his views,
which undoubtedly reflect those
of the Eisenhower administra-
ton. in a speech before the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees banquet at the
Sheraton-Pa Hotel commence
rating the anniversary of the
Civil Service Act.
Mr.. Young's speech was viewed
as major declaration Of adj
ministration policy regarding
proposed Federal pay raises, es-
lpecially since the AFGE and
other Federal employee groups
have opposed creation Of a spec
Icial presidential pay commission
III it meant postponing a Gov
ernment pay boost this year. Any
study Of the Governments sal-
AIRY systems would take at least
a year and perhaps longer.
This stand was disputed by an
other speaker, Senator Neuberger,
Democrat of Oregon, who de-
clared that Federal classified and
postal employees need a pay raise
right now. Senator Neuberger.
a member Of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, said the pres
ent salaries of Federal workers
in the lower and middle brackets
"afe too low in a time of rising
costs"
Pay Scale Lag Cited
Federal pay scales also lag
considerably behind those in in
ldustry. Senator Neuberger said.
Chairman Young in his speech
said: 81 would personally urge
that a thorough pay administra-
ltion survey should be made and
Ia pay policy developed jointly by
all interested parties before any
Legislative action is taken on a
Ipay increase.
ANY pay proposal based on
flat dollar or a flat percentage
across-the-board increase would
merely serve to compound and
continue existing inequities."
Repeating his view that the
present Federal salary systems
are inadequate to cope with
present-day problems in Gov
Iernment, Mr.. Young said the
Governments pay systems
should be overhauled. The goal
should be the formulation of a
truly forward-looking Federal
pay policy based on the needs Of
1.-THE service" Mr.. Young said.
The first step. he said. should
be creation of a special presi-
dental commission to study the
problem and make necessary
Recommendations. The csc
chief said such a commission
could consider the whole scope
of the problem"
Per Diem System Noted
The only present Federal pay
system that now permits any
flexible degree of administrative
responsibility in the adjustment
OF salary rates" is the one for
