Two Minutes With
The Bible

"And when it was day, He
called unto Him His disciples;
and of them He chose twelve,
whom also He named apostles"
(Luke 6:13).
Many pepole fail to listing
uish between our Lords discip-
les and His apostles. They sup
pose they are the same. This is
incorrect, however, for our
Lord had a multitude of discipl-
es while He had only a few
apostles. His apostles were
chosen from among His dis
ciples, as we learn from the
above passage from Luke's
gospel.
A disciple is a follower; an
apostle is a "sent one" A dis
ciple is learner; an apostle is
a teacher. There is a great les
son here for US all to learn.
We must come before we can
60. We must follow before we
can be sent. We must learn be-
fore we can teach. We must
listen to the Lord before we can
speak for the Lord.
"Thus saith the Lord" was
the familiar phrase with which
the Old Testament prophets be-
gan their messages. But at the
head of the long list of Old
Testament prophets we find
Samuel, a young lad, saying:
Speak Lord, for Thy servant
heareth" q Sam. 3:9).
Before we can do or say any
thing for God, then, we must
listen to God. This explains why
the reading and study of the
Word of God is so important.
First, salvation itself comes
by hearing and believing Gods
Word, especially about Christ,
and His death for our sins.
Rom. 1917 says: Faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing by the
Word of God" and | Pet. 1923:
Being born again, not Of cor
ruptible seed, but of incorrupti-
BILE, by the Word of God, which
liveth and abideth forever. T"
Then, having been saved, we can
serve God acceptably only by
diligent study of His Word.
Perhaps the most important
passage in the Bible on this
subject is II Tim: 2:15.
"Study to show thyself ap-
proved unto God; a workman
that needeth not to be asham-
ed, rightly dividing the Word
of Truth"

Philips Fashions

Provided protocol permits, we would
like very much, in some small way, to
show our appreciation to Prince Philip
Of England. Though proper consort
to our favorite Queen, Prince Philip
has managed to maintain an admirable
streak of independence in his personal
habits.
For example, spurning the role of
style pace-maker, he blithely goes his
way in double breasted jacket, a habit
80 per cent Of the other males quietly
decline to follow. Now this regal wrong
Medicines may mean little or nothing
to most Americans, but we happen to
own (rather self-conSciouSly, to be
Sure) natty double breasted suit of
relatively recent vintage. What is good
enough for the Prince should be good
enough for the snobs seen covertly
sneering at our jacket.
What is more, old Phil may one
day break out his bowler, spatS and
cane, not to speak of plus-fours, all
of which happen to be in our closet
fairly screaming to be reactivated. In
fact, we are thinking of re-christening
our Norfolk jacket the Prince Philip
and hauling 1t out Of retirement i'm
mediately.

On Student Loans

1t is too bad that the federally sup
ported student-loan program has had to
be cut back this year in hundreds Of
colleges and universities throughout the
country, including the District (Col-
leges and universities here will get only
$815,87S Of 81 ,465,60o requested) This
would not have happened If Congress
had acted promptly on the Presidents
request to raise the programs present
$90-million ceiling to $135 million. The
failure to act means that many young
people are finding 1t considerably more
difficult to finance their education.
Ever since its inception five years
ago, this self-liquidating project has
been both popular and fiscally success
full. Up to now, with the average loan
amounting to roughly $470, approx
mately $3.50 million has been borrowed
by close to 100000 students In over
$500 colleges and universities. The help
has been, and still is, Of prime impor-
lance to gifted individuals who might
otherwise have found themselves fl
nancially hard put to seek learning
beyond the high-school level-individ-
uals with special talents In the teaching
field, science, mathematics, engineering
and the languages.

Ben Bella in Trouble

There are many obscuritieS in the
stories now coming out Of Algeria, but
one thing is clear: President Ahmed
Ben Bella is in trouble. Although he has
set himself up as the virtual dictator of
the country, he has suddenly been con-
fronted with opposition formidable
enough to suggest that all his vaulting
ambitions may yet come to nothing.
The opposition includes Colonel
Mohand on ell Hadj, an important field
commander in Algeria's war for indie
pendence. He has many followers-of-
ficers and enlisted men-who have
already sided with him against Mr.. Ben
Bella's one-man, one-party rule. And
they are strongly backed, apparently, by
the BerberS, a militarily sophisticated
mountain people, who are ethnically
distinct from the rest Of the Algerians
and who have repeatedly indicated that
they do not like either President Ben
Bella or his ideas.
There has been no serious shooting
thus far, and there may never be. But
a fact worth noting is that the Berbers
Colonel GU ell Hadj is one Of them)
number some million in a total Alge-
rian population of around 10 or II mil
lion. Another fact worth noting is that
they do not seem to share Mr.. Ben
Bella's admiration for Cuba's Fidel
Castro; nor have they given any sup
port to the dictatorial Presidents dis
patch Of a special mission to Moscow to
cultivate closer, If not sinister, political
and military ties with the Soviets.
Everything considered, therefore,
Mr.. Ben Bella, who has accused neigh
boring Morocco Of conspiring with the
Berbers, faces a problem that may prove
to be too big for him.

Message From the Bronx

There may be a lesson for all Of US
lat least for those who like to brood
globally) in what has happened up to
now in the World Series. The underdog
Los Angeles Dodgers, the whilom Buns
OF Brooklyn, have swept in from the
West and murdered the incompatible
Yankees twice in row. It Is as II
new GenghiS Khan had suddenly de-
scended on the Bronx and laid 1t low
With bat and fast ball, leaving its
stunned citizens full Of woebegone won
derment as they behold how Field Mar
shall Houk's mighty invincibleS are fallen
in the midst Of battle.
That battle, Of course, Is not yet
over. But 1t has proceeded far enough
regardless Of who wins in the end-to
serve as q reminder that nations, like
baseball teams, ought to have their
heads examined II they allow them
selves to grow soft or overconfident.
1t seems only yesterday (actually 1t was
as long ago as the World Series of 1856
that Don Larsen pitched an incredibly
perfect game for the Yankees no
hitter in which 1t took him only 81
throws to retire 81 Dodgers in order,
one after another, sending them back
to the gloom Of Brooklyn in q state
of mental shock. Yet today, based now
in the City Of the Angels, these same
Dodgers bid fair to STAY the Bronx
Goliath.
Here then Is the lesson, or so 1t
seems: The Yankees have been riding
high for q long time. They have had
mostly fat years, and practically none
lean. But now, having lived perhaps q
too easy-going and comfortable life in
relation to other teams in the league,
their Mickey Nantes and their Whitley
FordS may well prove to be much less
than enough to save them from people
like Sandy Koufax, Moose Skowron and
Senior Podres. So the message from the
Bronx ought to come through loud and
clear to the global thinker: Let Us strive
to be as physically fit as the Kennedy
administration urges and let US be con-
Stantly on guard against all potential
enemies.
Meanwhile, the scene Of mortal
combat now shifts to Los Angeles. Play
ball! And may the best team win.

the past, but the college population Is
almost explosively growing, and loan re-
quests under the Federal program have
reached total Of $122 million with the
opening Of the current semester. Clearly,
as the President has urged, Congress
ought to raise the present lending
ceiling to at least $135 million.
This program, after all, Is not a
giveaway. The borrowers are committed
to pay back what they borrow, and with
interest-and American education is
strengthened in the process. Congress
should vote accordingly.

Happy Payday!

Next payday will be bright and
shining day for thousands Of men and
women in the Armed Services who fl
nally are getting that long-deferred
pay raise. Almost everyone with more
than two years service, including re-
serviSts and retired officers, is included.
Congress did well In adopting the
measure and sending 1t to the Presi-
dent at this time. Thousands Of service
personnel in the Washington area alone
will welcome their first raises since
1858. For those on dreary and danger
Gus assignments overseas, 1t will be
proof that their sacrifices have not
been forgotten. To the restless and in
dispenSable junior officers, torn be-
tween military and civil careers, it will
be an invitation to remain in service
with our thanks.
BY terms Of the Senate-House COM
promise, first and second-year per-
sonnet must wait until their third years
to benefit from the increases. Senator
Russell of the Armed Services Com
mittee deplored the fact that $4,000
second leutenantS and enSigns and
7,700 first lieutenants with less than
two years service will miss out on a
raise. We share the Senator's wish
that special bill will provide for them.
The Nation can afford to pay its
Servicemen so that they are not forced
to take on extra jobs-or go on relief
to make ends meet. Indeed, 1t can't
afford not to.

The concessions required to end the
long controversy over the Three Sisters
bridge have not yet been made Off
cially clear. There appear, however, to
be three.
First, it Is evident that the new
location under study, nearer Key Bridge
than the old, would avoid Glover-Arch-
bold Park, which Senator Mansfield and
others seem determined to preserve"
at all costs. On the Virginia side of the
river, the new location would avoid
direct encroachment in Spout Run Park.
And third, the current discussions are
in terms Of bridge with six lanes.
None Of these concessions is fatal.
And II they are all that the opponents
of the bridge have been hollering about
so loudly and 80 wildly for all these
years, then District, Federal and Viz
ginia highway officials by all means
should let them have their way. We
continue to think that the original loca-
ton Is preferable. Among other things,
the alternative would make 1t much
harder to alleviate the traffic problem
between Virginia and far Northwest
Washington. But the essential conSid-
Grafton, and the primary Justification
for the bridge, is to provide means for a
smooth interchange Of traffic between
the District side of the river and Route
So and Lee highway in Virginia. The
future volume Of traffic will be simply
too great to handle any other way, even
when the new Theodore Roosevelt
Bridge is open. Indeed, those commuters
who use Lorcom lane and the George
Washington Memorial parkway during
rush hours can attest to the need for
the new bridge right now.
We trust that no other issues will
arise at the last moment to upset the
apparently amicable discussions now
under way. In the meantime, 1t would
be well for the congressional committees
handling the District budget to make
clear in their report that funds already
appropriated for the bridge may be
spent when and If the promising alter
native scheme pans out.

Al JIG IuIOF over fTeSlQenG
Kennedy's plan for q Joint
moon shot" with the Soviet
Union. there seems to be q
general tendency to forget
that we have left the barn
door" wide open to nuclear
assault by the Soviet Union
- an assault wholly outside
the terms Of the test-ban
treaty. I refer to nuclear at
tack from space.
Shortly after Titov was or
btted. Premier Khrushchev
reminded Us that the Soviet
Union could replace the cos
monaut with q nuclear weap-
on directed to any place on
earth. There are increasing
reports that the Soviet Union
is far more interested in de-
veloping nuclear space weap-
ons than in landing Q man
on the moon, our current
scientific boondoggle. The
USSR seemss TO be concern
trating on the landing Of in
struments on the moon.
Russia's space programs
are being stepped UP in the
more realistic areas Of mill
tary use. I do not think It
unreasonable to say that the
Soviet Union will control the
earth's atmosphere by 1855
unless the detectives Of our
space program are .orienteo
to national security instead
Of moondoggling.
The Soviet Union appar-
emily Is concentrating on two
space programs - landing OF
instruments on the moo N
and assembling Of q space
platform. USSR flights this
year demonstrated remark
able precision in timing the
double launching Of space
crafts, in tracking capabili-
ties, and In guidance and CO.
ordinating orbital space
ships.
Imagine our predicament
should the Soviets launch q
nuclear missile from q space
vehicle only 90 miles above
target. We would have vir-
tually no warning. Our de-
tense and second-strike plans
are based on at least q 20
minute warning. the time we
estimate q Soviet interconti-
mental ballistic missile would
strike.
1t seems clear that the
test-ban treaty. with the eu-
phoria 1t is certain to bring,
adds to the Importance Of
our developing a military
space weapon system - a
manned space station and
weapons in space - to main
tain our ability to deter So
Wet attack. This could be
done without violating any
treaty, and without pouring
more tax dollars into q pres
tige program. Our primary

Sharp Pens

It is unfortunate that a
newspaper of your standing
is making q practice Of STIR
ring up sectional feeling and
discord. The tenor of articles
written by some Of your staff
writer's certainly have this
effect on certain classes Of
people.
For instance, we find Mary
McGrory on September %
mimicking Southern rural
people, purporting it to be a
typical conversation. On its
merits 1t has no news value
as it is purely imaginary.
But it ridicules and burles-
ques the poorer class Of uI1-
educated citizenry there.
Miss McGrory should know
that there is q proud and
illustrious ancestry In various
sections of this country Of
ours that should be more
courteously regarded and it
is poor taste to ridicule them.
This includes the uneducated
and poverty-stricken people
in Southern States as well
as other parts Of our land.
Some Of their vernacular is
quaint and homely, and yet
attractive, Of its kind, COM
ing as it does from the lips Of
some Of our most loyal ma
tive fellow countrymen.
If Miss McGrory's view
points are so obviously big
oted and intolerant toward
some of her fellow citizens.
she could at least avoid
ridicule and confine her ped
estrian efforts to simple
journalism by recording fact
ual and helpful news. Miss
McGrory has a particularly
vitriolic pen for those she
covers" and exercises it
rather regularly.
Another article I can take
at random is that of Paul
Hope, "a Negro on Dynamite
Hill" Much Of the same
criticism applies to this one.
What this article is supposed
to do I do not know, unless
again it is to whip up Sec
tional and inter-racial dis
cord and resentment among
our mongrel citizenry.
Let us try to avoid tanning
the flames of sectional re-
sentiment and discord by an
unduly emotional approach.
If both sides of this racial
issue are to be aired, let them
be presented factually and
fairly with dignity toward
both sides, both those who
champion racial miscegena-
ton and those who prefer
racial purity. integrity and
Separation, or some admir-
ture of the two.
