ing, e.g.: "and was much af-
fected by hearing him, and was
very ready to listen to him."
(Schonfield.)
An excellent feature Of NEB
is the great care taken with
quotation marks, and quotes
within quotes. XIV is invari-
ably confusing when a New
Testament character quotes an
Old Testament prophet, or a
Jewish law. These things I
have enumerated I find good
in NEB; about almost every
thing else I have serious doubt.
The objectives of the NEB
are stated by the $ranslators in
their preface:
"Our task, however, differed
in an important respect from
that of the Revisers of 1881.
They were instructed not only
to introduce as few alterations
as possible, but also to limit.
as far as possible, the express
sion Of such alterations to the
language of the authorized YER
sion [KJV] and earlier English
versions. Today that language
is even more definitely archaic,
and less generally understood,
than it was 80 years ago.
The present translators
were subject to no such limita-
ton. The Joint Committee q.
decided at the outset that what
was now needed was not
another revision Of the Author
lied Version, but a genuinely
new translation. in which an at
tempt should be made consist
emily to use the idiom Of
contemporary English to con-
vey the meaning of the
Greek. .. :"
Many other translators feel
that the XIV cannot readily
be understood by the contem-
porary reader. RSV's advertis-
ing has stressed to the exclu-
sion of virtually every other
consideration the present un-
intelligibility Of the 17th CEN
tury Bible. c. H. Rieu, whose
translation of Acts 195D is
a very interesting one, says
flatly: 1T is unfortunate that
most Of it [KJV] is no longer
Ineligible" 1t would be easy
to cite 20 other similar state
mentS.

BY DAY THORPE
Star Book Critic

Since the Revised Standard
Version Of the Bible was pub
lished in 1852, 10 million copies
have been sold 13 million New
TestamentS), more than q mil
lion and q half Of them bought
in the first two months. The
two previous authorized" re-
visions of the King James Ver-
sion, the Revised Version of
1885 and the American Stand
ard Version of 1901, were also
phenomenal best-sellers. An
authorized version Of the Bible
is one sponsored and promoted
by q church or group of
churches; in addition, there
have been more than hundred
unauthorized, or private, trans
lationS, many Of which are
widely read. The Bible, as lit
erature or as moral guide or
even as a somehow vaguely
requisite personal possession,
has had a popularity far ex-
ceeding that of any other piece
of writing. No one can question
the accuracy Of its name-the
Bible is "the Book"
So, before the reader opens
the covers of the most recent
translation of the New Testa-
ment. published under joint
imprint of the Oxford Uni
versity Press and the Cam
bridge, University Press-before
he knows anything at all about
the work-he can be certain
that the New English Bible will
be the outstanding best-Seller
of 1861.
Roman Catholics are pro-
hibited' from leading this or
any other translation Of hereti-
cal origin, unless they are
granted special permission. The
standard Catholic Version Of
the Bible is the Rheims-Douay
(15S2-1609). This book is now
something Of a rarity. Its re-
vision by Challoner, in 1852, Is
so drastic that the result is vir-
tually o new translation.
The New English Bible Is an
authorized version, sponsored,
planned and directed by the
Baptist Union Of Great Britain

Star Fashion Editor

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Nov.
13.-The next best thing to
talking to Georgia Bullock.
talented designer of fashions
that are at home everywhere
in the world, is to talk with
her sister, Annette.
Annette is so in tune with
her sisters designing frame
Of mind, that you can get to
the root of the subject.
The fashion business like
many another business has
its ups and downs.
A While Back
About six years ago
Georgia decided that it was
about time that she could.
find in the stores the kind
of fashions she wanted to
wear when she was enter
tanning in her own home.
The fact remains that
when q person is designing a
particular kind of a dress
line. they are not apt to be
designing for at-home wear.
Nobody but Georgia really
understood what she had in
mind. She wanted styles that
would be as good in the
kitchen as in the parlor.
Styles that would look good
minus a girdle. "You might
as well look nice at home"
was her thinking.
She made short short
dresses six years ago and ev-
erybody thought she had lost
her designing mind. Though
it didn't influence her sports
wear designing. her Bare
foot Fashions" amounted to a
trademark and nothing else.
Nobody was walking in that
design direction. In short.
they laid an egg.
Today? Oh, that's another
story. Now the idea is right
on time. Barefoot Fashions"
are quite the fashion dish
whether you are serving your
guests or are busy yourself
amidst the pots and pans.
The gay. practical styles
are colorful' and have now
arrived.
This eleventh California
Press Week has opened with
a furry.
Greeting some 80 fashion
editors from all over the
country was Mr.. Walter OPP
penheimer of Helga. At din
ner last night at the Beverly

Mr.. Oppenheimer is chair
man of press week during
which the California fashion
creators unveil the newest
1862 trends in this West

The dinner which is a pre-
lude to the parade Of fash
ions to be seen all during
the week is usually a pleas
ant interlude, one during
which shop talk is limited to
hello" and wen see you at
our showing later on during
the week"
And. because you simply
can't talk to everybody at a
dinner, we talked with An
nette Bullock. That's how
we got down to the bare

Of other well-known piano

he was being punished by his

But how long should pun
