the National Broadcasting Co.
He has been suspended-with
pay-by NBC pending the OUT

continued teaching.
The subcommittee has received
testimony from Daniel Enright,
one Of the producers, that some
contestants on the Twenty One

Mr.. Enright did not mention
Mr.. Van Doren in his public
testimony, although there have
been indications he discussed
him during closed-door testi-

Mr.. Van Doren's situation has
changed drastically since he
went before the grand Jury in

afterwards said it was SILLY and
distressing that people didn't
have more faith in quiz shows"
When the House investiga-

Some Tunes Changed
Most Of the recent activity in
the hymn world has consisted
of fitting old texts to different
tunes. Many Of the hymns in
the new Luthern book were put
together In that manner.
Sometimes the old tunes
wear out" says DR.. Horn. New
tunes freshen them up. For in
stance. the hymn 1.-THE Church
Is One Foundation" was sung
to the tune Ewing" until the
10Th century when 1t was
freshened up to the tune
I"Aurelia."
For this reason Of identiflca-

tally bear different names.
DR.. Horn feels the current
lack Of good hymn writing is q
cause for concern.
"A hymn interprets God to

around to interpret God in rela-
ton to the city, industry and

I'VE have had more young
people, 9 to % years old, than

the most exciting meetings was

only expected 125 boys and girls

Miss Campbell pointed Out
that most of the 12l persons
on the staff are teachers OF
college students.
She also noted several future
goals for Massanetta Springs
They include the housing facil-
tiles in order to take care oi
more people: renovating the
bedrooms and undermining the
hotel; winterizing two floors Of
the main hotel and the ad-
joining Richardson building SC

in the late fall and early spring
building a 20-acre lake to take
care Of an expanded program

conferences with 1850 persons
attending in its four weeks Of
operation. Last year SO con-
ferences were held, the place
was open thirteen weeks anc
50, 500 persons came.

well thought of in every way.
But his father was quite the
opposite. He had rebuffed all
efforts by his neighbors to be
friends and had gone his stiff
necked way through the years
The first impulse of the
neighbor was to go to the un-
friendly man and express his
sympathy at the loss. But men,
cries of the mans curtness
through the years rose up. Fol
several minutes he debated the
problem, and then decided to
risk a possible insult.
He went to the white house
next door, its shades drawn and
an air of death surrounding it.
He rang the bell. No answer. He
rang again. Still no answer
Then he leaned pn the bell and
sustained the ringing.
After a long while he heard
someone slowly coming down
the stairway. The door opened
and the man appeared. His
face was set hard. his eyes
were cold and his stance rigid.
II came to offer my sympathy
for your loss," the visitor said.
Suddenly the man broke and
fell upon the others neck. He
sobbed uncontrollably, and
then said, Come with me,
please"
They went upstairs. In the
room the man pointed to his
sons football uniform, his base
ball glove, his tennis racket.
Beside them lay a Colt re-
volver.
IT was going to use that when
you rang" he said.
