He declared such a develop

scientists throughout the world

we're not ready for it sociolog-

what similar try when Hitler
and his Nazis ordered the Ster-

He made the comments in an
interview at the l28th meeting
of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science.
The recent research 10 which
he referred was the work of
scientists Of the National In

the complex intracellular chem

production of all living matter

genetic traits from generation

the triumph of his political
career.
In defiance of the tradition
that party chairmen must be
neutral among the contestants
for the presidential nomina-

to a group of correspondents
early in 1860 that then-Senatol
Kennedy would sweep the
presidential primaries, win the
convention nomination and &c

and often worse than that. In

Mr.. Butler won his election
as chairman of the Democratic

campaign that was typical OF
the energy he put into all his
political ventures.
A slim, ascetic-looking man
who had diabetes most of his
adult life, Mr.. Butler was one
of the most indefatigable trav-

produced.
He won the craftsmanship,
ironically, with the support OF
Southern members of the COM

and the Stevenson men were

The Army has solemny advised its men that it will

This admonition to bowlers was included in Army
circular on what personnel claim for repayment of
losses in shipments of personnay belongings.
Compensation may only be paid for the loss or
damage Of property determined by the Army to be
reasonable. useful proper for you have shipped"
the circular said
For example, possession of bowling ball in a
combat zone would generally not be considered reason
able useful or proper, and if had it shipped to you
there no compensation would be allowed for its loss
damage.
While possession and shipment of a bowling ball
would be proper under most circumstances as part of
military household goods if 20 bowling balls were shipped
then all are lost or damaged compensation could be
expected to be limited to bowling ball for each

7 The Answers To Life'S u
\ d BIG QUESTIONS A

Man has split the atom and aims
rockets at the moon. He COM
pounds a drug that halts an cpl
demic e. invents missiles that can
destroy a city oceans away. He
finds ways to make men grow
taller live longer enjoy
comforts once not even imagined.
But with all our gains in learn
ing. all our progress in science
Gfe's four most important
questions remain TO be answered
in the mind and conscience of
each individual.
Sooner or later, every man
must ask himself: What am l?
Whence have / come? Why am
l here? Where am bound?
These are questions which the
physical sciences do not even pre-
tend to answer, for such questions
deal with something beyond the
physical >. something that can
not be seen or heard or touched
mans spiritual soul.
AS with. people of other faiths,
Catholics also insrincrively ask
themselves these four most vital
of all questions. And, like anyone
else, they would be lost in bewild-
ermenr and fear if they depended
on their own reasoning alone for
the answers. But the answers be-
come clear . and convincing to
their human understanding
through the teachings of Jesus
Christ.
With only reason to guide us
we might conclude, as some do,
