WaOI111Nd1OlS, JUNE ~
When Averell Hartman goes to
Moscow next month on his
momentouS mission to negotiate
a nuclear test ban agreement,
he will be undertaking another
equally important but unan-
nounced assignment.
At the personal orders of
President Kennedy. the 71-year-
old diplomatic trouble-shooter
will sound out Premier Khrusch-
chev on the creation Of a new
agency to conduct deliberations
to ease the cold war.
This sensational proposal. I'M

establishment of an East-West

and Russia on tension areas

Foundation Schools

Editor of the Farmville Herald:
If the U. S. Circuit Court of
Appeals were waiting to see
what the Prince Edward Board
Of Supervisors were going to do
about allocating money for op-
Grating public schools. the Court
has now found out that no
money was budgeted for school
operations. Perhaps very soon
the U. S. Court of Appeals will
render a decision on the Prince
Edward case which was argued
before that Court last January
g..
Sooner or later this court
should decide if this county has
the sole right to tax itself or
not to tax itself Will this Court
sustain the verdict Of Federal
Judge Oren R. Lewis last year
that public schools in the coun-
ty canno remain shu t
while public schools elsewhere
in Virginia remain open?
Wonder why Judge l. lis
made such a silly ard childishly
punitive announcement? Judge
Lewis also cut off all tuition
grants, both state and local, to
the children both white and
Negro in Prince Edward Coun-
ty, for some reason which seems
known only to himself and the
devil.
We do not know what the
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals
will have to say. but we do
know, pending tuition grants,
that we shall continue operating
the Prince Edward Academy
with tuition charged parents Of
students and by gifts by other
friends of the Academy.

HIDDEN FACTORING cruc-
ial influence that the nuclear
policies Of General de Gaulle and
Red China played in determin-
ing the President to seek test
ban accord with Russia is clear
ly evident in the Rostow paper,
as follows:
One Of the historical trends
which may lead to Widened
areas of U. S-USSR under
standing and common action
warrants special policy atten-
ton. The diffusion Of power and
authority away from Moscow
within the Communist bloc, and
away from the U. S. within the
free community, presents to
both sides the possibility of sit
uatlons arising in which either
Soviet or an American ally
may try to inflame a given stu
alton and thus engage for its
own benefit the prestige of the
two major powers.
To prevent any such situa-
ton from arising and leading to
an unsought dangerous direct
conformation is in the common
interest Of both the U. S. and
the USSR and should be one of
the spefific and priority purposes
of meaningful communications
and negotiations.
The policy paper warns that,
The form of diffusion of pow
er potentially most dangerous
to both the Soviet Union and the
U. S. is the spread of nuclear
weapons especially to Commun-
list China and France
The point is stressed that a
U. S.-Soviet understanding on a
test ban would be the frs
step to block proliferation of nu
clear weapons.

would dampen the pressure
for the extension of nuclear Wea

God In His World
Lesson for June %, 1868

Is God in His world? Ger
tainly, says every Christian. God
is everywhere, and so He must
be in His world. Go as far as
you like in a man-made satellite
exploring space; catch the tail
of a comet as it sweeps, orce in
eternity perhaps, into our orbit;
take the rocket-fuel of imagina-
ton and rush faster than the
speed of light, far beyond all
visible galaxies. always God is
there. Certainly God is in His
world, this world we see and
love or hate, this world of stars
and suns, angleWormS and
atoms, sea and sky and earth
and all the creatures living in
it. But the next questions are
harder and tied closely together
HOW is God in His world, ard
what good does it do us to know
or believe He is here? We can't
see Him, and answers to ques-
tons in astronomy or physics or
botany, and so forth. would be
just the same if there were nc
God. The distance to the sun
from here is just the same for
an atheist as for a Christian
saint.
How God Is Not Here
! To be very short with very
long question, let us face it: God
is rot in His world the way
some thinkers suppose He is. He
is not in His world as your SOU
is in your body. The universe is
not the garment of God, or the
body of God. God is not in the
universe in the way we are
namely, as a part of it He is
neither a part nor the whole OF
it, and it is neither a part nor
the whole of Him. God is also
not in the world as a spectator
is in a stadium watching q
game He is all there and may
be yelling His head off for the
home team: but He can't get out
on the field and mix in the
plays, and He couldn't even il
He wanted to, God is not just
here b n G entertained, and
sometimes rot kno wing just
what the score is. Moreover
God is not here as a product OF
this world. You are a product Of
this world. You are product Of
it, you would not be what you
are if the universe were utterly
different from what it is. Bul
God is not owing His existence

Unusual Address
To Graduates

Editor,
Once upon a saner time SEN
lors graduating from hig II
school were advised by COM
mencement day speakers to go
out" and make the world a hap
pier place in which to live.
There was nothing particularly
new about this advice. To the
seniors it was pretty familiar
stuff, but as they filed out Of
the hot auditorium it seemed
somehow like the right kind of
advice to carry with them into
the soft June night where the
air was heavy with flowers and
the sky arched over their heads
bright with promise.
The other night in Farmville.
however, seniors heard a differ
ent kind or advice. sharper, with
a clang at its heart. The seven
ty-tour seniors who graduated
from Prince Edward Academy
were advised by DR.. Henry E.
Garrett, a psychologist. to keep
their wits about them because
the American world of the mid
twentieth century was trying to
put something over or them. 1t
was trying to make them be-
lleve that "all races are equal"
IN other words, that the Negro
children across the way some
where in the night were equal
to the white children sitting here
IN a brightly lit auditorium.
| DR.. Garrett mustered a lot Of
learning to support his thesis
that racial differences in men
tai ability are real and are
probably geretic" But one won
ders whether such a display Of
knowledge was necessary. Here
were the white children in caps
and gowns. symbols of mental
ability. Where were the Negro
children Of Farmville? Well
they were off somewhere in the
night. No caps and gowns. no
bright auditoriums, no distin-
gulshed men such as DR.. Gar
rett speaking to them. R acial
inequality? You bet.
| Apart from this. though. ore
wonders whether the graduating
seniors Of Prince Edward
Academy deserved a message
such as DR. CARROTS to carry
with them Into the world" Or
did they perhaps deserve sorne-
thing more hopeful, more chart
! table, more worthy of a June
night?
l believe they did. Of course
it may be that the seniors them
selves chose DR.. Garrett. But
hope they didl t. l hope they
are weary of the tensions which
have accompanied them through
school. l hope they are weary
of what once again the adult
world has thought best for them.
! hope too that before the eve
ming was over they were weary
of DR.. Garrett and wanted the
Negro child across the way to
come in out Of the darkness and
sit down in the light beside
them.

Not AS Simple

REOPENING of public schools in

the racial situation in the United States,
nor viii it solve the differences in

which are now before the Fourth Cir

are Fundamental to any intelligent or

as public education is concerned.

How God Is Here

All the same, God is here in
His universe. in two ways. First
! He is here as Creator. When we
use that word, we do not mean
merely a deity who created all
, things long time ago. He is
here today as creator. A pilot in
a small plane runs into turbu-
lent weather. His little plane
bounces around, and out of the
tail Of his eye he can see the
wings go up and down as they
hit the doWn-drafts and up
drafts. It would scare some peo-
pie; but the pilot is not afraid
A little instrument on the dash
board shows the plane can stand
this much turbulence. 1t was
/ constructed so as to stand it.
The designer of that plane is in
it. seeing that the pilot gets
through safely. So God is in the
laws of the universe. He is in
its reliability, in its beauty no
less.
The Universe Points To God
Two wrong ideas come up
here. One is that we can learn
nothing about God from the uni
verse. 1t is W st e Of time
some people maintainl for a
Christian to study the universe,
in other words to be a scientist,
because no amount of scientific
knowledge brings you a step
nearer God. The truth is, how
ever, that we can learn much
about God through a study of
science. Maker of heaven and
earth a k S on tremendous
meaning for people who take the
trouble to find out what is known
about the worlds God made. The
opposite and equally mistaken
notion is that we learn all we
need to learn about God just
from observing the world He
made. Quite the contrary; some
OF the most important and ur-
gent questions we can ask are
not to be answered by looking
into telescopes or microscopes.
How can l come to terms with
God? Am l no more to God
than other animals are? When
have fallen into sin, does God
care? What does God want me
to do? How can l keep from
being lost in this vast universe?
These and other questions turn
us from the Creators wonderful
works to His wonderful Word
There we may learn how the
wonders of His power are more
than matched by the wonders of
His grace.

END OF. THE ROAD

Barron's magazine recently devoted
a full-page editorial to curious and
dangerous point of view that seems to
have penetrated into high official posi-
tions. Its basis is a visit, made by a top
officer of the government, to the Soviet
Union, where he found that we "have
much to learn" from the Russians about
producing electricity.
Of this, Barron's said: "To begin
with, every one of the worlds ten most
efficient steam plants is located in the u.
S.. moreover, the Edison Electric Insti-
tute reported that this country now has
nearly triple the generating capacity of
the Soviet Union, and four times as
many miles of transmission lines, and
each year is installing about twice as
much new equipment as the Russians.
Where the Communists supposedly have
more excelled is in. vast hydo plants.
Ironically, however, the Reds now are
stressing these facilities less and less be-
cause they have proved excessively cost
ly. Furthermore, the most ambitious such
installation still under construction is
tagging badly behind schedule" This is
huge hydroelectric station in Siberia
which, III 1859, was scheduled to begin
operation in 1861. The latest target date
is 1854
few more words from Barron's
powerful statement: "In terms of power,
then, America need have no fears visa
Wis the U. S. $. r." And, speaking Of the
grand design for endlessly extending the
public power drive, it said ''The time to
stop this scandalous power play is now.
For the end Of the road is socialism,"
1t is more than that. For, if we ever
come to this roads end, all of the funda-
mental human freedoms we are supposed
to prize will perish there under the whip
Of dictatorship.

4. Proper exposure can affect
sharpness. An rexpos e d
transparency looks washed out
and fuzzy in the highlights.
S. More contrast illumination
or a sharper contrast in colors
in the subject matter will give
an illusion of greater sharpness
in the finished picture.
6. Finally, proper processing
and printing can affect sharpness.
Negatives and transparencies
should be checked with a mag
nifying glass to see If an enlarged
print was properly focused or not.
We've been discussing sharp
ness but that isn't the ultimate
factor in whether a picture can
be sold or not. Picture content is
far more important. If the subject

dramatic or conveys a powerful
emotion, the matter of sharpness
is secondary.
