Senator Homer Ferguson's proposal to incorporate the words "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance that approval of his Senate resolution has been almost universal in the press and in expressions by civic organizations and individuals. That proposal marks no departure whatever from traditional American belief and faith — though some people may have a confused notion that our country, because of its constitutional separation of church and state, is officially divorced from religion. This is not so. The Bill of Rights provision that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" simply means that no creed — Presbyterian, Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian nor any other — shall be recognized and favored as a national creed. That is the essence of the religious freedom all Americans enjoy. But as for faith in Divine guidance, the Declaration of Independence defines as "self evident" the truth that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" — a specific avowal of reliance upon God. It must be very fluffy to have the Communism vitation to join them, especially points out, they have so munist's newest booklet pointedly brought out that was aiming at the very Party . . . "What is it which starts to build agility?" Those who claim are two separate forms of know their Communism have a true socialistic life. Quoting from page... The Bill of Rights provision that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" simply means that no creed — Presbyterian, Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian nor any other — shall be recognized and favored as a national creed. That is the essence of the religious freedom all Americans enjoy. But as for faith in Divine guidance, the Declaration of Independence defines as "self evident" the truth that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" — a specific avowal of reliance upon God. Every American who possesses a dollar bill has in his hands a representation of the Great Seal of the United States. On that Seal is a symbol of the Eternal Eye of God, and above it the motto Annuit Coeptis, meaning "He Has Favored Our Undertaking." Our very coinage bears the pledge "In God We Trust." Members of some religious sects have felt that the Pledge of Allegiance, as it now stands, violates their belief that allegiance should be sworn only to the Almighty. The "under God" inclusion may permit them to make the pledge in good conscience. There remain the atheists. But they are few and don't materially count. And even the atheists, it would seem, have reason for unreserved allegiance to the flag of a country that grants them — under God — the freedom to disbelieve! Don't Look at Me! It seems almost a certainty that before so very long it's going to cost 4 cents to mail a letter, with other postal rates upped in proportion. Signs and portents around the Nation's capitol indicate this — chief of them being advance attempts to find a "goat" to blame for necessitating the rate boost if and when it comes. One prime target is the railroads. The Iron Horse, it has been said loud and often, is subsidized by the Federal government for carrying mail. Last week, in fact, the steely equine snorted an indignant denial that he can be blamed in any degree. The Government did subsidize the early railroads, in encouraging them to push lines into undeveloped territory ahead of settlement, by land grants to a value of 125 million dollars. In return for the grants, however, the roads agreed to carry government traffic at reduced rates. By the time the agreement was terminated, in 1946, the reduced traffic cost was the equivalent of a monetary profit to the U.S. of 1¼ billion dollars — or 10 times the value of the lands which the railroads received. As it is now, according to railroad accountants, they are carrying mail at rates below the cost of the service. And the cost ascertainment reports of the Post Office Department reveal that the rails receive less than one- Those who claim they are two separate forms know their Communism have a true socialistic life.

Your Birth THURSDAY, MAY 13—Born day, you have special talents you should develop early in life, you are not inclined to be in yourself enough. You are mined and want to be a grandcess, yet you are not as pushing you should be. You are really rather serious person, yet extra appearances do not always this impression. You are a gregarious, social and have a very strong love ture. You like to be among friends and will sometimes put off duty for pleasure. This is thing you will have to watch your early years, if you are reach the heights to which talents should entitle you. Although you men may 125 million dollars.

And the cost ascertainment reports of the Post Office Department reveal that the rails receive less than one-eighth of a cent for transporting the average 3-cent letter a distance of nearly 500 miles. "Don't look at me," the Iron Horse snorts. "I've paid for everything Uncle Sam never gave me — and through the nose!" He seems to have a case. SONGS OF A SONNETEER By R. LOUIS SCOTT "MAGIC HILL TOPS . . . !" Once there were ways which Youth alone might know And curving shore lines here we raced the tide: Once there were magic hill tops where the glow Of setting suns our love-trysts glorified: There too, were game trails, faintly marked and dim— And hidden nooks where woodland folk could bide The storm's soon-passing: huge trees, wide of limb; Swift streams where trout were quick to take the bait And silent pools where we could wade or swim! Now childhood's haunts have changed to real-estate— (Men search each title for some hidden flaw)— We hurry back to seek our own—too late: The woods, the streams, the blackthorn and the haw Have disappeared into—the city's maw!

In the Communist's newest booklet, "The American Way," it is intently brought out that the past regime of Roosevelt is aiming at the very objectives of the Communist Party . . . "What is needed is a new Administration which starts to build again where the New Deal left off" Those who claim that Communism and Socialism two separate forms of governmental operation do not know their Communism. The Communists know that to be a true socialistic state is to embrace their form of Quoting from page 20, VII Communist Aims and Othman’s Views on Washington Soil By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN! WASHINGTON — Most startling items at the McCarthy-Army hearings, I guess, were the barefoot lady and the four beards (also hooeless), who’d been waiting since dawn to get in. The lady wore a long yellow robe, which came almost to her feet. So did one of the gentlemen. The other three were clad in pale gray of similar cut. The lady had a veil over her head. The four gentlemen with the long whiskers wore their hair in twin braids of schoolgirl type. So, as I say, they waited and they waited with their feet on the senatorial marble (I reached down and felt it and it was cold) and when finally they got into the Senate Caucus Room the statesmen still were arguing, interminably, about how to speed up the proceedings. The shoeless ones, who identified themselves as members of a religious cult at Ventura, Calif., found seats toward the rear, but far enough front so their naked toes rested on the Senate’s warm, red carpet, and this must have been a relief to them. So they sat there and listened intently, even as did the TV audience, to some thundering orations, nothing much happened. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R., Ill.), who was wearing a magnificent cravat upon which large pink and white elephants disported, started the proceedings by suggesting they be shut off, publicly, in the next few days. His idea was to hear Sen. Joe McCarthy under the floodlights and then hold the rest of the meeting in executive, or secret, secession. Now everybody got into the act and everybody had a different idea. Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens, who waited on this, his 13th day, to be questioned some more, said through his counsel that he wanted all witnesses examined publicly. Sen. John L. McClellan (D., Ark.) said don’t forget this was important. Chariman Karl E. Mundt (R., S.D.) said it had been suggested to him that the hearings be held in utterly like the Oppenheimer attack inquiry, now progressing on the other side of town. Sen. Charles E. Potter Mich.) said the trouble with light red lights on the cameras. When a senator those twinkling in his eyes said the senator, he’s in no better talkative than our Sen. Stuart Symington said he didn’t think this was those ruby lamps had no him. Sen. McClellan what was the argument against Mundt said it was about Sen.'s motion. Sen. McClellan yes, but nobody had secured so there wasn’t any motion. Eventually, or about an 15 minutes later, Sen. N. and his chief counsel, R. got their chance to examine retary Stevens some more interested them particularly the names of those in whom gave an honorable call to a dentist charged with Communist. Well, sir, the secretary names, all right, but listed in the midst of maybe 500 pages long hadn’t had a chance to read if he could climb o witness chair someday take a gander and run names instanter. Some other things happen but not many, and they adjourned for lunch, we met again — secretly — whether to keep she seaslc. They didn’t get anywwhat of the barefoot end. They sat in their chair the last messenger and member of the jam-paceence had left. Then they out. Their idea simply was doesn’t pay to do any barefoot, in a place as close to the caucus room You get your toes trampled, likely to step on a spi blub. (Copyright: 1954, by Un In the Communist's newest booklet, "The American Way," it is centrally brought out that the past regime of Roosevelt was aiming at the very objectives of the Communist state. "What is needed is a new Administration which starts to build again where the New Deal left off." Those who claim that Communism and Socialism are two separate forms of governmental operation do not know their Communism. The Communists know that to be a true socialistic state is to embrace their form of Quoting from page 20, VII Communist Aims and Perspectives. "The Communist Party, basing itself on scientific principles of Marxism-Leninism, believes socialism as the ultimate solution for the problems of nation. Modern industrial production under capitalism is a vast social process, but it is operated for private enrichment and not for the public good. It is this contraction that socialism would resolve. Socialism alone could utilize to the fullest the immense scientific and technical know-how of the American people, including atomic energy." This columnist has been scored previously for pointing out the similarity between the two, and those who have pointed out the inroads that socialism has made in the text and teachings in our schools have been offered at, but the Communists have placed the similar in print. You either have a Socialistic-Communist nation or you have a Republic, there is no in between. Those who are working for socialism are working Communism, those who are attempting to swing the pendulum to the right, clear out the socialisticencies in our government and civic life are work-for-a-republic. Your Birthday Forecast By STELLA HURSDAY, MAY 13—Born to you have special talents which should develop early in life. In you are not inclined to believe yourself enough. You are deterred and want to be a great success yet you are not as pushing as should be. You are really a serious person, yet external pressures do not always give impression.

SCORPIO Oct. 24-Nov. 22)—You rest in the bed with your head on the bed and sleep well. As It Was Told To Me By HARMAN NICHOLS WASHINGTON (UP) — If you are confused by the switch from slow to fast time, listen to what happened in the old days when it all used to be called "God's time." The Association of American Railroads has an interesting bunch of anecdotes about the confusion that existed before 1883 when "standard time" went into effect. Before the time the law went into effect there were nearly 100 different time zones, based on the passage of the sun. In Chicago, people were always missing trains or getting aboard too early. Lots of Confusion The Pennsylvania Railroad in the East used Philadelphia time, which was five minutes slower than New York time and five minutes faster than Baltimore time. My friend, Carlton J. Corliss, a representative of the railroad people, has made a careful study of how it was before time was standard, and before daylight time Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Television executives laughed when a plumpish, motherly school-teacher began her one-woman nursery school program last year, but today she's passel up Arthur Godfrey in popularity. Dr. Frances Horwich was a department head at Roosevelt College in Chicago when NBC asked her to star on the first program to teach preschool children. The moguls thought her title "Ding Dong School" was silly. The crew on the stage chuckled when she faced the camera and began to object of interest are: She feels the program because "it gives many benefit of a nursery so otherwise couldn't go."

However, the penetrating musical subtlety of Kraus-Monteux is lacking (Epic). Another novelty presentation is the first recording of the Festival Mass "in 53 parts" and the hymn to St. Rupertus by Orazio Benevoli which helped consecrate Salzberg Cathedral in 1628.

Letter to the Editor May 8, 1954 Dear Sir: I am trying to find people who were at the scene of a terrible accident that I had on June 21, 1953, on Highway 101 between the towns of Hopland and Cloverdale, California. In the late afternoon, I am trying to clear my name of a charge that I am not guilty of. In the accident, I was driving my cab on the highway when it went out of control. As a result, my two passengers were killed. No other car was involved in the accident. All claims have been fully paid, and there is at present no civil action involving long-drawn-out court appearances. I have been tried and convicted of manslaughter, and I need help in clearing my name before the date of the hearing for my appeal, June 2, 1954. I would especially like to talk with the person who accompanied Gus Wolf from Jeff's Ranchb, and also with the two people who were in the same tavern on the same date — June 21, 1953 — with Jimmy Valencia, who had planned to testify in my behalf. Unfortunately Mr. Valencia died before the trial. Any witnesses who were at the scene of the accident that day should get in touch with me as soon as possible. I am not guilty and am trying desperately to clear my name. Would you please run a news item asking these people to write to me. Thank you very much for anything you can do to help me.
