are free from those tyrants that
so cruelty dominate the lives of
those who have lost touch with
God. Fear, for one thing. The man
who by Gods grace can forget
himself, even for while, has a
vacation from fear. Fear Of death.
of disgrace, of failure, Of unpopu-
larity, of pain, of Illustration. If
you were asked, what is the great
est evil, the harshest cruelty, un-
der which men suffer? What are
the necessities to which men bow
their heads-and their souls? You
might well answer: Certainly two
of the greatest enemies of peace
and freedom in the individual life
are fear and sin. When a man
commits a sin, even one that
hurts him personally, doesn't he
say. nine times out of ten, II
couldn't help it,? When he stops
to think why he fears death,
doesn't ne say again, Il can't help
it,? That's simply admitting to
being slave. Fear and sin are
hard masters, cruel, relentless and
ruinous. But the Christian in their
presence is a free man.
Freedom fer what?
But knowing this, or thinking
about it two weeks in row, as we
have tried to do, does not clear up
all the trouble we have in under
standing what freedom means.
The New Testament lays equal
stress on freedom-for, as on free
dom-from. Paul puts it in a single
sentence: Through love be ser
wants Of one another" To use free
dom selfshly is to misuse it. To
use freedom selfshly is to 90 back
into slavery to ourselves all over
again. To serve others in love is
not a rule, but like the golden
rule" (of which it is a twin it is
a guide to the traveller through
this tangled world. To serve 9TH
ers is not to meddle in their af-
fairs. To serve others does not
mean to force helpfulness on
them. Serving others grudgingly,
enviously, is to miss the mark en-
tirely. Serving in love is the right
use of freedom.
In harbor of a great seaport,
two ships are free. Each is being
pulled by tugs. A sudden burst of
wind snaps the line that ties one
ship to one of the tugs. The ship
is free, but unprepared; and it
Iurches, crashing into nearby
craft, spreading destruction The
other ship, at the right moment,
casts off its lines and is free-free
to sail under power to the ends
of the earth. Which ship is the
better illustration Of Christian
freedom?

tually became free, when Egypt's
chains were broken, those Israel

Freedom from what?
Freedom can be misunderstood
on the other side. This is particu-
larly true of Christian living. All
through the New Testament the
reader seems to hear the bugleS
of freedom. Christians are re-
minded on page after page that
freedom is good and that Christ
came to set men free. But people
then as now sometimes got a
wrong idea about this. They sup
posed that they were now set free
from obligations, they "wore no
mans collar" so to speak. Paul
(among others) sets us straight
about this. He underscores some
thing quite different. Christ was
not born to set men free from OBJ
legation to each other nor to God.
On the contrary, the Christian
more and more recognizes the
duties, services, and ways Of help
which he can render to other
people.

Can Kennedy Be Taken?

One group Of Republicans has for
mulated an elaborate electoral analysis
whereby Senator Goldwater will be
President In 1865. Another, no doubt
about it, is working on a plan to do
the same for Governor Rockefeller. A
realistic view of the enormous power
OF an incumbent President, however,
suggests that the proper question at
this time is not whether one candidate
or another can do the job better, but
whether the job can be done at all.
Can Kennedy be defeated?
The intense activity of Goldwater
and Rockefeller supporters suggests
that large numbers of Republicans now
think it's possible. This is a change
Not too long ago most Republicans
assumed that 1864 would be a throw
away year for the G. o. P. The only
problem was talking someone into being
the throwaway candidate. Not too long
ago there was speculation in the Eastern
wing that 1854 lost anyway, might be
good time to let the conservatives
have their fling. to march to defeat
behind real Republican" Such talk
Is heard no more. Both wings of the
Republican Party obviously believe that
the 1864 nomination represents a real
chance at the presidency.
Why should they? The last PreSi-
dent to fail of reelection was Herbert
Hoover and there has been no single,
monumental catastrophe remotely COM
parable to the Great Depression. Is
there any reason to take seriously the
possibility that this energetic and popu-
lar young incumbent can be displaced?
There are, in fact, two reasons.
The first is the civil rights drive,
and the peculiar relation of the adj
miniStration thereto. The other is that,
as a result Of this drive, the rest of
the Presidents domestic program has
almost no chance of seeing the light
of day.
1t Is hard to picture Mr.. Kennedy's
gaining as a result of the rights crisis,
whatever happens during the next year.
If this revolutionary movement should
finally get out Of hand, resulting in a
vioEent racial explosion, he will surely
be held responsible by millions of voters.
But let us assume the best that
blowup is averted, and reasonable civil

Now They Tell Us!

Science has come up with some
thing nearly half Of the population
has been aware Of for long time
proof that woman's construction is
proof that, at the basic level Of the
human cell, women are fashioned Of
Entirely different material than men
with entirely different results.
According to the new theory half Of
woman's cells are dominated by chro-
mosomes inherited from her mother,
the other half by those from her father
unlike men, each Of whose cells are
a bland mixture Of both. The conse-
quences are all too obvious. There is
bound TO be conflict, periods Of I'M
certainty and doubt about what to do
next, and when to do 1t, and sudden
changes in plans, notions and moods.

rights bill is passed. The President is
bound, in any event, to lose support
among Southern and other conservative
elements of his party, people who be-
lieve he has encouraged the pressure
and the demonstrations.
On the other hand, judging by their
reaction so far, he seems unlikely to
pick up popularity among Negroes and
white liberals over his handling of this
issue. This is not just matter Of his
inability to deliver everything now"
There is, we gather, feeling on the
articulate left that in sense the Pres
ident asked for this crisis. In the 1860
campaign he spoke with spirit of civil
rights laws and actions. Negro leader
ship took 1t seriously, and by this year
had got fed up waiting. And here we
are.
And now, as to the rest of the New
Frontier program: If the impending bit
ter civil rights battle in Congress means
that nothing else can be accomplished,
what then will be the reaction Of the
big city voters on whom this admins
tration depends?
The original prospectus of the New
Frontier laid out such principal areas
Of promise as medical care for the aged
aid for the public schools and tax re-
form. We are not concerned, at the
moment, with the merits of such pro-
poSalS-only with the score. The score
is zero, and seems likely to remain so
now that the Southern wing of the party
has been thoroughly alienated. In the
entire field of new legislation proposed,
passed and put into action, the New
Frontiers high point to date has been
the Peace Corps. Will that be high
enough to satisfy the elements which
composed Mr.. Kennedy's slim majority
in 1860?
Much can happen during the next
year, Of course. Perhaps new develop
ments in the foreign field will radically
affect the picture.
And certainly none of the forego-
ing means that diSenchanted Democrats
will rush to the polls to vote, say, for
Barry Goldwater.
1t does, however, suggest an oppor-
tunity for the Republicans in 1854. 1t
suggests that the New Frontier, barring
enormous change, may be more vulner-
able than has been thought.

Economics Made Simple

Those who missed Professor McNa-
mara's class in basic economics owe 1t
to themselves to get a quick briefing.
Professor Mcnamara, who doubles as
Secretary Of Defense, was explaining
how his department had been able to
cut back in spending.
Exhibit A was a transformed radio
which the Government bought for S2,278
each under a negotiated contract two
years ago. That means the contract was
assigned without competitive bidding.
Then Defense decided that the next
order should be opened to competitive
bidding among q firms. Again the order
went to the original firm, but with one
striking difference. The cost per set was
$843 And still the company made
profit.
AS the company explained, 1t was
less expensive to make the second batch
of sets than the first. But Mr.. Nc
Namara pointed to cases where second
,rder had not been opened to bids
and no such decrease in cost had been
realized.
This doesn't surprise us IN the
least, and Professor Mcnamara had
simple explanation for it. This is the
result Of competition" he said. "This
is the result of what we all call free
enterprise"
Free enterprise is what has made
this country click from the very start.
We hope no one ever forgets It,

The GNCC hope for next year is
much higher A special effort will be
made, for example, to interest thousands
of the visitors to New York'S World Fair
to include stop in Washington in their

On Envying the Dead

Perhaps they are part of an act
designed to lull the free world into a
false sense of security, but Nikita Khru-
shchevS latest remarks on war and
peace sound sincere. They sound au-
thoritative. They sound like words
spoken from the bottom of the heart
by somebody who really knows some
thing about nuclear and thermonuclear
weapons - somebody who has walked
to the brink, looked into the abyss
and discovered hell almost beyond
imagining.
The Soviet Premier'S new discourse
on the subject has been delivered at "a
friendship rally" for Hungarian puppets
visiting Moscow. He has not sugar.
coated his words. Referring indirectly,
but obviously, to the Chinese Commu-
niStS, he has made clear that their bel
licoSity, their apparent desire to stir
up an atomic hydrogen war between his
country and ours, constitutes kind of
insanity. This is so, as he has put it,
because such war could destroy the
bulk Of mankind in so horrifying a
fashion that the survivors of it might
well "envy the dead"
This is not new thought, of course.
1t has been voiced many times in the
past by WeSternerS. But the Soviet
propaganda machine has steered clear
Of dwelling upon the possibility that
the USSR, if it got itself involved in a
test Of nuclear arms, might be shattered
to the point Of extinction. Mr.. Khru-
shchev, however, now has openly ac-
knowledged the reality. His recogni-
ton Of the fact is a matter of more
than passing significance, and it may
mean that something good may yet
come Of the Kremlin's revival of an
American INSPIRED proposal for recip-
rocal on-the- ground inspection to curb
the danger Of sudden surprise attack.
Almost needless to add, Communist
words should never be taken at face
value. Yet, coupled with the intensity
OF the official Soviet assault on the
Chinese Reds, what Mr.. Khrushchev
has just said is impressive and emphatic
enough TO merit very close reading
Conceivably, his world and ours may
well be on the way to detente or some
thing even better. The possibility, in any
case, must be fully explored.
