WASHINGTON, R-The State Department said an official of Amtorg, the Soviet trading agen- cy, violated US. travel regula- tions to attend machine tool exhibition in Chicago and was or dered to go back to New York.
 A State Department press of ficer, Francis Fully, said the So- viet Embassy last Aug. 31 had requested permission for Sergei G. Zhdanov and another Soviet official to attend the exhibition in Chicago Sept. 6-l1. On Sept. 3, Fully said, the department noti- fled the Russians that permission was refused.
 Despite the refusal, Fully said, ZhdanoV went to Chicago alone. Fully said a State Department representative in Chicago ordered Zhdanov to return Friday to New York and he left on a 2:30 pm. plane.
 The Chicago Tribune said Fri day night that Zhdanov, identified as chief engineer of Amtorg, ne- parted from Chicago with sat chels full of highly technical data" on the latest precision ma chine tools obtained at three tech nical exhibitions.
 Asked if ZhdanoV's defiance Of the travel ban would be consid- cred a serious breach of inter national etiquette, Fully replied, q would say yes"
 Fully said, however, that fur ther action in the case had not been determined. He said he did not know if'ZHdanoV would be de- clared persona non grata and or dered to leave the country.

SOME q of the

any kind of federation or as
ISOLATION as a substitute for a
real Christian unity. Such a
federation exists in the
World Council at present and

leaders complacent about dis
unity rather than a stimulus

DIR. Visser't Hooft, World
Council leader, said in 1852:

POLITICAL PROFILE:
Book On ~President-Elect
Worth Your Time

He introduces the reader to
Pat Kennedy, coming from
Ireland about 1850 and set
Ting in Boston, to his son
Patrick j. Kenney, who was
successful as a saloon keep
er and as a politician. Young
Patrick worked with, and
SOMETHING'S contended with,
John F. Honey Fitz" Fitz-
gerald. He described the
close-knit, stimulating family
life of Joseph P. Kennedy and
Rose Fitzgerald and their nine
children, of whom John was
the second born.
he DOES NOT PASS over
Father Joseph P. Kennedy, a
controversial figure, includ-
ing an account of his bust
ness dealings whereby he
became a multi-millionaire,
and an account of his services
as ambassador to England.
BY means of well chosen
anecdotes and quotations, the
author enables ohm Kennedy
to grow up before the read
er's eyes. He is described as

being too concerned about
study.

into a book, why England

ing success. When ne comes

Let's take a minute or two
to look at Christmas as if we
were coming upon it for the
first time.
LET'S IMAGINE that we
had never heard of it-and
then somebody comes on the
dead run, shouting the news.
What is the messenger say
ing?
Is he mad?
He is telling us that God
has become one of us.
Humanity's agony of wait
ing is ended.
Our exile is over. We are
going home.
The promises of the proph-
cts are fulfilled.
The black skies are turning
bright. Chaos is changing into
glorious order. No longer will
we wander, weeping for lone
illness.
GOD is WITH His people
after the centuries of absence.
He has opened the door of
our desolate world and enter
ed. He has joined our family.
Is this possible? Is it cred
ible?
Let us question the messen-
ger.
God is infinite, isn't He?
And eternal?
Yes; but He has entered
space and time.
But God is pure spirit! God
is God.
True-but He has taken a
human nature. He has become
man while remaining God.
This Infant is He? But God
is almighty!

Sum and Substance

will of Christ and he attack
ed any kind of federation as
an absurdity that would allow
Christians to remain content
with the sin and scandal of
disunity.
Advocates of a federation
of Churches, he said, envisage
a unity to be achieved in the
committee room or at the con-
ference table, not a unity in
faith and worship. "They do
not grapple with the fact,
which any serious reading of
the New Testament must sure
ly make unacceptable, that to
speak Of a plurality of
Churches is strictly absurd"
A COMMONWEALTH of
Churches is not enough. 1t is
a nobly-motivated suggestion
but | fear it would only de-
lay the achievement of real
unity.

opment of Kennedy's thinking
on the political issues of our
time.
THESE TWO MATTERS
consume the major portion
of the book. The first will es-
pecially appeal to the person
interested in political STRAIT
egg, and the second to the
person who enjoys a review
of the major political ques-
tons of the past fifteen years
Or the person interested in
knowing Kennedy's position
on these issues.
Each political campaign is
described in this book, but
perhaps the more interesting
ones are the first for Con-
gress in 1916, during which
the Kennedy organization is
built and tested for the first
time; and the first campaign
for the Senate in 1952-Ken-
nedy's first effort state-wise,
and a crucial test-the out
come of which seemed UMPIRE
dictable, but which resulted
in a strong victory over the
incumbent Senator, Henry
Cabot Lodge.
POLITICAL ISSUES are
found on almost every page
of this volume. There are the
local ones, having to do with
the interests of Kennedy'S
constituents A Among the
broader ones are housing,
minimum wages, protection
for the aged, the st. Lawrence
Seaway, civil rights and civil
liberties, military spending,
foreign aid and foreign pol
icy in general.
THE AUTHOR GIVES
thorough treatment to Ken
nedy's stand, or lack of it, on
Mccarthy and McCarthyism.
He calls it "the issue that
would not die" There is also
a chapter on Kennedy and
the Catholics" in which is
contained and adequate re-
view of the Senator's position
on the question of the Cath
Ollie in politics.
Mr.. Burns is to be COM
mended for his well-drawn
profile of John F. Kennedy.

reader is amply rewarded for

If this is an accurate sum-
mary of "the trade union sit
uation in the United States"
and ] think it is-ProfesSor
Morgenthau's complaint
against unions would seem to
be in need of greater refine
ment.
So long as 'the number of
people outside the trade UNI
ion movement who accept the
trade unions exceeds the num-
Der of those who believe in
Them" there would seem to
be little likelihood that or
ganized labor will be able to
control the government or
evade the sanctions of the
law, even assuming as | do
not, that it was disposed to
do so.
WHAT AM SAYING, in
in effect, is that the time
has not yet come for the gov
eminent to "put labor in its
place." 1t would make more
sense for government offic-
ials-and for all the rest of
us-to follow the advice of
Secretary of Labor Mitchell,
who, in addressing a farewell
dinner given in his honor re-
Gently by several hundred ca
reer employees of the De-
partment of Labor, stated
very eloquently that anything
that might be done to cripple
the labor movement or to ham,
per its normal growth and de-
velopment would be a great
disservice not only to the
working people Of this coun-
try but to the very cause of
democracy itself.
This was sound advice from
a dedicated public servant
who rightfully enjoys the
widespread reputation of being
perhaps the greatest Secre-
tary of Labor we have ever
had and one of our ablest
practitioners in the field of
lahor-management relations.
