How You See Man on Trial

In the evening, scores of
millions of Americans turn
on their television sets and
see the news. At one point,
the camera shows a court
room in Jerusalem. A thin
man sits in a birdcage. This
is Adolf Eichmann. He is
charged with ordering the
murder of six million Jews.
In the United States, three
television networks paid
$4,000 apiece for the film
tapes of the trial. 1t sounds
like a lot of money, but it is
only the beginning Of the
cost. For seven hours each
day, two cameras are busy in
the little court in Jerusalem,
In the evening, one man
cuts the material to one
hour.

the morning, the jet comes
down at Idlewild and men
from NBC. CHS and ABC
rush the package to studios,
where it is put on a machine
and sent on a cable to other
televiSion stations.
On West 66th street, Joe
Stamler, manager of WABC-,
TV, watches part of it come
in. He mods to AL Hollender,
program director. The rea-
son that this tape is import
ant to these men is that they
are biting off a bigger chunk
of the Eichmann trial than
anyone else. Most stations
use few minutes of it as
seasoning on their news

uses a half hour of it ever,

Hollender studies the quail

sound-an admixture of He

and turns it over to Vincent

comprehensive half hour
show of it.

Slick ToIker Proves
Snake Wasn't Viper

My friend kept talking.
ITS just a harmless black
snake" he said, running his
fingers along the snakes back
lightly. The snakes tongue
kept forking, out ominously
as its head moved around
under my pals chin.

sudden. excited movements"
he went on, caressing the
snake, then a snake won't
get excited and bite. Many

Nov, here. I want you to
hold this snake because l
want to prove to you how
easy it is. And besides,
want to prove that snakes
aren't Shiny at all. They're
dry. dry as cotton"
He kept talking and before
I knew it l was actually hold
ing the big snake. My friend
moved a few watchful feet
away from me, and there
was, all by myself, with a
five-footer in my arms, its
head darting here and there
as I soothed it.
It's skin was dry. I was
amazed. And the snake did
seem to enjoy being held.
Right then and there l
wanted my picture taken, but
we didn't have a camera. So
l just held the snake a few
minutes, feeling like the
bravest guy in all the world,
and then gingerly handed
the snake back to my visitor.
An hour later, when he had
released the snake and de-
parted, it dawned on me that
this young man had hyno-
tized me with his soft talk.
I'm still afraid Of snakes.
BUT I'VE LEARNED a lit
tie about them. For example,
that there are about 2,4OO
kinds of snakes but only
per cent OF them are
dangerous. And that if you
let a snake alone, it will
usually let you alone. They
do much good on a farm; at
least some varieties do, like
blacksnakes. They kill and
eat rodents that damage row
crops and tree roots, includ-
ing our apple trees.
Some apple growers and
farmers even import harm
less snakes and let them
loose.
I haven't gone that far vet.

Find the Real Cause!

IF YOU HAVE recurring
headaches, do not keep on
taking aspirin without find
ing out the real cause.
For example, If you are
having tension headaches, a
common-sense adjustment in
business or home life will do
more than drugs. The same
holds true if your headaches
are due to migraine. AL
though ergotamine drugs are
helpful in this condition. a
new way Of life is important,

It's possible you have his

you have high blood pressure
or some undiscovered intoxi-

causing the discomfort.
Self-treatment for occa-
sional headaches is all right.
But to guess and hope for

Sometimes you win, but where
health is concerned. losing is
awfully hard to take.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio,
April 26.-If you're a motor
ist such as I am you don't
care for red lights. They can
be as dull as the final act of
a bad play. You obey them
but don't relish them. So the
turnpikes Cor toll roads, are
there for you.
For instance: You don't
get a red light all the way
from the Lincoln Tunnel to
the outskirts of Chicago, a
distance of some 800 miles.
You are stopped only by the
toll gateways en- route.
I'm one who likes variety
in motor travel, likes to see
something besides beautiful
red barns, and welcomes the
old-fashioned highways from
time to time. These are the
roads that skirt towns and
villages or go right through
the center of them, following
main street. In such fashion
you get a ringside seat at the
spectacle of America-you
see it close up.
Elderly women are in their
rocking chairs on their front
porches, reading everything
from Quo Vadis?" to James
Michener'S Hawaii" elderly
gentlemen are in the city
parks, strolling, sitting,
watching. You see over
turned bicycles and tricycles
on the front steps and the
letter carriers as they make
their rounds. Housewives,
back from errands to the su-
permarket. are sweeping that
front veranda. and home
from work husbands are
moving the front lawns.
America in slow motion.
In A Hurry?
But If it's your desire to
make time, to get from State
to State in a hurry. your So
luton is the modern turn
pike. It's fast and it's safe
If you're careful. Watch the
car ahead and the car ahead
of that one; watch for the
posted speed limits, and be
wary of radar devices If
you're moving too swiftly.
There are times when a sin
gle traffic cop will make a
haul of a dozen speedsters,
all in a bunch.
I've seen it happen. Once
in Delaware, near Laurel;
once in sun-Scorched Gallup,
N. M, and another time in
the vicinity Of a place called
Ludowici, Ga. Perhaps Ludo-
wici's loathsome speed trap
has been abolished by now,
but motorists exceeding the
limit by five miles per hour
we're being arrested the last
time I went through.
Turnpike tolls can run IN
to money, all right. I paid
$1.45 on the New Jersey
turnpike from Lincoln Tun-
mel to the turmoil for the
Pennsylvania turnpike, a
distance OF SO miles. The
charges on that super high

way came to $1.70 plus $2.35.
And 1t will require another
$2.55 to get me to Toledo,
via Youngstown, Ohio. It's
always pay-aS-you-go, cash
on the line. No credit cards
honored, no checks accepted.
The automation in the booth
methodically takes your
money and gives you the
change. He has plenty of it.
Now and then you get a
thank you or a good morn
ing" and there's no charge
for that. I'm always a little
surprised.
In my % motorcar trips
from ocean to ocean I've been
on most of the United States
highways, de luxe and other
wise. I've followed U. S. 80
down at the Mexican border
and U. S. 2, the farthest-
north artery right at the top
of the map. Have used such
famous routes as 40 and so
and U. S. 80. which used to
be. and possibly still is, the
fastest east-West course in
the country, taking you right
across the middle via Chey-
enne and North Plat and
Omaha. A motorist with any
sense at all will try for alter
nate roads and thus avoid
those monStrous trucks,
which seem to be getting
longer and wider all the
time.
Texas Dust Story

Pacific tours since 1886 I've
experienced detours of every
known description and
weather of every variety. 1t

heat and the cold, through
dust storms, hailStorms and
cloudbursts. A dust storm
near Amarillo, Tex. was so
impenetrable I remained
motionless, far to my side Of
the road, for an hour.
I've stayed in many small
towns and vastly prefer them
to the cities en- route. I've
paused to look in on old
bookShops, to take in timer
ant carnivals and circuses.
Have gone in for my share of
animal buying. acquiring a
baby fox in Idaho, a lion cub
in Colorado.
l did manage to resist a
baby elephant offered to me
in Los Angeles at a bargain
price. For one thing, I didn't
see how I could take it along
with me. I've seen canoes and
luggage and bicycles
strapped to the tops of cars,
but never a baby elephant.
The one I reluctantly turned
down had the particularly
engaging name of Bonsong.

I go along with you, Mrs.
E., when you say that you
believe in giving your young

when he cries. Too many
parents believe that they will
spoil their infant if they give
in to its wailing.
You will never spoil a child
by giving it security. If the
poor. little, helpless thing
gets scared - whatever the
reason-how else is it able
to let us know than by cry
ing? You will find a wet dia-
per, an open safety pin or a
real bellache the cause more
often than you realize.
Later on in life is time
enough to make a youngster
toe the line. When they are
still infants is no time to be
stern and heartless.

Lumpy Gal
Needs Help
In Dieting
BY MRS. ALMA DENNY
THE PROBLEM

ROsalie H.-Now I know it's
hopeless for me ever to lose
weight. On my last diet, I
almost went mad with hunger.
After two days of it, I
weighed the hame, a jolly
1853 pounds, which you can
see makes my S feet height
look about 5 feet wide, too.
BesS is trying to convince
me to Join her reducing club,
but all the talk in the world
isn't going to quiet the way
my stomach talks.
No. I'm resigned to being
fat. 1t has it's good side. I
see men, for example, in their
true colors. There was one I
gave a gift to, a book-of- the
month. We broke up over
my weight, I had to buy four
more books, but that was
better than winding up with
the wrong man.
Bess T.-Rosalie Is full Of
excuses for her lack of will
power. She's my best friend
and all through high school
we were the mainstay of the
corner sweet shoppe, partners
in crime when it came to
loading up on banana splits
and chocolate cellars.
I married a much older
man, very tolerant and easy
going. While he didn't insist
that lose weight, he let me
know he'd like to see how I'd
look minus about so pounds.
I called at my doctors office,
was examined and given a
diet. But I got nowhere.
But then heard about this
club where everyone keeps
your courage up, sympa-
thizes, but also bawls you
out. Now I eat strictly on
schedule. I'm sure this is
the answer for Rosalie.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
In giving up, Rosalie is
saying. You can like me or
lump me-" Meanwhile she's
Jumping herself and, we'll
bet, not liking herself at all.
We cast our vote with Bess
and the group she mentions.
Today the ensemble approach
to problems has been widely
effective, as with A. A. and
group psychotherapy. In
stead of fighting boy friends
and the world from inside
her fortress of fat" Rosalie
can fight the fat itself, sup
ported by a platoon of cheer
ing fellow fighters.
For safety's sake of course,
ROSalie would have to get
the green light to diet, plus
directions, from her physi-
clan. The club then takes
her two steps further: 1t
helps her stay with it,
through menu ideas and pep
talks; and, it Whets her ap-
petite for new interests to
take her mind off eating.

Month OF Joseph

March is the month dedicated to ST. Joseph.
In our Diocese the prayer to st. Joseph will be
said at Masses and deVotionS this month to ask his
prayers for more Vocations TO the religious life.
TO SAY, st. Joseph is an ideal patron
OF religious v0cations. A vocation is a special call from
Goo. ii Is not the way we want To serve God, ii is the
way God wants us TO serve Him.
So it was with Joseph. God chose him to be the
man nearest to Christ by making him the foster father
OF Jesus God chose Joseph TO be the husband of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. 1t was Joseph's glory that the
intellectually cooperated with Gods call.
THIS COOPERATION did not make his life am
easy one. But ii did make his path clear and his goal
evident With divine grace he was able to do every
thing the heavenly Father asked of him.
The parallel with religious vocation is obvious.
The young man or woman whom God calls does not
choose Christ. "You have not chosen me, | have chosen
you" But it is their privilege to respond to the divine
call and thereby find salvation and happiness.
TIE FULFILLMENT of a religious vocation is
not an easy life.
BUT WITH GoDs HELP it is a rewardine one
The goal is manifest, the path is clear and the indi-
vldual has only to do his part. Good will and effort are
the necessary qualities to enable a young man or woman
save their own souls by helping others save theirs.
The rewards are a hundredfold in this life and
eternal salvation in the next. What more could anyone
desire?
DURING n MONTH of March all of us should
ask ST. JoSeph's prayers for more religious vocations.
We can seek his lnterceSs0n with confidence because
st. Teresa of Avila has written: 81 do not remember to
this day ever having asked him for anything he did not
grant me The Lord seems to have given other saints
grace TO help in some troubles, but / know by expert
ence that tins glorious saint helps in all" - GAF.

interviewing a Negro Moslem
who belonged to a very ag-

The Moslem made little or
no effort to cover up his con-

preachers who were urging
their followers to passive re-

cept the idea of Indignation

Protestant Principle

Last week the National Council Of Churches,
which represents 40 million members of 80 Protestant
and orthodox denominations in the US, declared that
contracepton is an entirely Christian means for
conscientious family limitation"
The statement said that periodic confluence
the rhythm method is suitable for some couples but
is not inherently superior from a moral point of view.
The general Protestant conviction is that motives,
rather than methods, form the primary moral issue"
EARLIER THIS "~coNVlcTIoN" was commented
upon by one of the drafters of the statement who said:
zone fundamental affirmation OF the Protestant con-
sensus is that motives rather than means form the
primary ethical issue in regard to family limitation. Ii
the motives are right, there is considerable latitude as
to appropriate means"
We are constrained to comment upon this for
two reasons. First, because this is the first inter-de-
nominational statement of Protestant theological
position on this subject. Individual churches have
taken stands in the past, but this statement represents
a united position, with only the Orthodox delegates
formally abstaining.
BUT NOR IMPORTANT, we must consider the
justification for this stand. motives, rather than
methods, form the primary moral issue" And, IF the
motives are right, there is considerable latitude as to
appropriate means"
Such justification is a re-statement of the theory
that 1.-THE end i~ustifieS the means" a theory that would
allow evil for good motive. A theory that reduces
morality to changing, relative normS based on majority
practice. In other words, according to this theory, some
thing is moral if a majority Of people do it and it is
useful now, but always subject TO change, of course.
THE CONSEQUENCES of this stand are frighten-
ing: sterilization, abortion, divorce, mercy killing
would be ordinarily acceptable. Murder, stealing, lying,
adultery cOud be tolerated. Even the systematic ex'
tinction Of the Jews by the Nazis could be justified and
the Soviet mass murders Of communists defectors
could not be condemned. After all, Hitler believed he
had a good motive: to protect Aryan blood from con-
tamination and to put financial power in the hands of
Germans. And Stain was f~urthering the cause of the
Proletariat, or so he thought.
WE TRUST OUR READERS will see that this
protestant principle goes beyond the question Of
birth control. 1t affects all morality. II cannot help but
lead TO moral anarchy. We lament the statement and
we mourn for the millions OF our good Protestant
brothers whose leaders offer pragmatic compromise in
place of moral principle. -GAF.

SUBSEQUENTLY, the Pes

near future. The chances are
that this Executive order will
have been issued before this

and should not even be ex-

On the other hand, there
is reason to hope that such
a Council might succeed, over
a period of time, in creating
a better atmosphere in the
field of iabor-management re-

would make it possible for la

at their problems in broader
perspective and to relate
their wage and price decisions
to the requirements of the
common good.
