THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN THIS COUNTRY PROVIDES AN IRREPLACABLE
MEDIUM FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND INTERPRETATION OF NEWS AND
DEVELOPMENTS AGAINST A LOCAL BACKGROUND. __
No man has as much to learn as he who thinks
he knows it all.
The legislative mill has been
grinding away of late and has
plenty of unfinished business to
attend to before the recess comes
in July. The Senators have been
working at night and the House
will likely come to that soon.
The Senate, after waiting three
months to act on a House-approv-
ed bill to continue Selective Ser-
vice for a year, finally amended
and passed it. A conference com-
mittee of the two houses is now
working out the differences.
There is plenty of time to whip
the measure into shape and pass
it before July 1 when the stop-
gap, temporary law now in force,
expires.
The appointment of Fred Vin-
son of Kentucky to be Chief
Justice came as quiet a surprise
to Capitol Hill. Vinson served
a long term in the House and is
well known by many who served
with him. He left Congress to
take an appointment to one of
the District of Columbia courts,
which is a reward not infrequent-
ly given to Administration stal-
warts in Congress. Then came
the war and Vinson, who is ad-
One was the outlawing of Jim
Crow laws on interstate buses
and trains. State laws that re-
quire segregation on such car-
riers are therefore stricken down.
These segregation laws in the
South had on other occasions
been upheld by the courts.
The court also held that the
Congress does not have the pow
er to prohibit the payment of
funds appropriate money to
three men who were named and
were working in government de-
partments. The reason for that
action by Congress was that
those men had, upon investiga-
tion, been found to be subversive
in their beliefs. That is to say,
they were communistic, as evi-
denced by many expressions and
membership in communist-front
organizations. Congress didn’t
want public funds to be used to
pay salaries to such men. But
the Supreme Court holds Con-
gress can exercise no control ov-
er the matter of to whom salaries
are paid.
The Fair Employment Practice
Committee, which is really very
dead for this session of Congress,
keeps flaring up on the floor of
the House. It happens this way:
Under House rules, bills approv-
ed by committees may be called
up when the particular committee
is reached on the call of the cal-
Mont., holder of 34 merit badges
of the Boy Scouts of America, is
the first winner of “God and
Country” medal awarded by the
National Protestant Committee
on Scouting. The award is given
scouts who qualify in these re-
quirements: regular church at-
tendance, systematic giving to
church, regular Bible reading and
personal prayer, knowledge of
the principle beliefs of his own
church, rendering of 150 hours
of personal service to his church
or community, and evidence of
Christian character and conduct.

SONGS are written about Mother. Artists paint her. But there’s no picture of
Whistler’s father—who ever glamorizes Dad? We touch him for a loan, sneak his
razor, cop his evening paper; we used to kid him about his carving—when there was
something on the table to carve.
Yet, somehow, the old boy has a place in our hearts no one else can ever fill . . .
and there’s only one day in all the year to tell him so. Just one day out of 365 to
say, "It’s all for you, Dad, and I know you’ll like it!’’
Isn’t that every reason you need to plan and buy a real suprise for Dad this year?
Something better than he thinks he has any reason to expect? Let us help you. Come
in and we will help you show that Dad of yours how much you really appreciate him!

are agreements on theology be-
tween the groups; and the sug-
gestion of union with churches
of the Reformed communions is
still at the stage of forming
committees for discussion of
basic principles.
In its post-war program to
“rid the world of leprosy,” the
American Mission to Lepers has
begun trimming native doctors,
nurses, and clinical assistants, in
the elementary techniques of
leprosy treatment in India, Bur-
ma, Thailand, China, Korea,
Ethopia, Liberia, the Belgian
Concho. In each of these coun-
tries the medical assistants —
together with pastors, teachers,
Bible women, evangelists, and
lay leaders—will be brought into
training centers for short cours-
es. The principal teaching will
be to enable them to Cognize
early symptoms of leprosy, es-
pecially among children, and to
have them know where to send
victims for treatment before the
cases become incurable. At these
centers, dramatizations, motion
pictures, posters, and records
will help in the instruction.
“The Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America
hereby announces the pattern of
segregation in race relations as
unnecessary and undesirable and
a violation of the pospel of love
and human brotherhood,” was a
recent far-raching decision of
this5 body wThich represents most
of the major Protestant church
groups in the United States. As
a “first step” in correcting se-
gregation within the churches,
the Council recommends that
each constituent communion (de-
nomination) study the relations
of the races as found within
their own groups, and then take
definite actions to correct forms
of segregation that may be
found—such as separate church-
es for whites, for Negroes, for
Asiatics. It . was also recom-
mended that various cities and
towns conduct “race relations
clinics” to correct discrimination
against minority groups.
The Methodist Committee for
Overseas Relief recently added
$230,000 to its earlier distribution
of funds for “the relief of human
suffering, without regard to race,
color or creed,” it is reported by
Bishop Herbert Welch, chairman.
Of this $230,000 the sum of $50,-
000 goes to purchase surplus
army clothing in France, and
will be distributed mostly in Po-
land and Czechoslovakia; $40,-
000 has gone to China; $10,000
to Switzerland for nearby coun-
tries; $15,000 to Singapore for
Methodist relief in Mahaya* $10,
000 to Manila for Filipino Meth-
odists; $5,000 to India; $27,000 to
the Committee for Relief in
Asia; $20,000 for the relief work
in Europe of the World Council
of Churches; $15,000 each to be
administered by the American
Friends Service Committee, and
by the International Missionary
Council for “orphaned missions”
$10,000 for the War Prisoner’s
Work of the Y.M.C.A.; $8,000
for the war work of the Amer-
ican Bible Society; $3,000 for the
through the/Y.M.C.A; and $2,000
for student relief through the
World Student Federation.
Through sales o f donated
clothing, repaired by the disabl-
ed and handicapped in its work-
shops, the church-operated Good-
will Industries of New York is
contributing indirectly toward
the relief of destitute people a-
broad. Hundreds of pairs of
stoutly made - over shoes have
been purchased by several Creek
relief committees. The shoes
are packed and shipped direct to
Greece by Goodwill. Other
groups, notably the Finns, come
every day to the organization’s
shop, 123 East 124th St., to make
selections from the low-priced re-
stored stock of underwear, coats,
and dlresses. “Warm — warm
everything must be warm,” is the
constant demand.
