ROSEBURG" NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG'. OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8", 1949 NINE Senate Chaplain Tailors Words To Suit Occasion By JANE EADS WASHINGTON Scottish Dr. Peter Marshall, chaplain of the U. S. Senate, is a man of few words. His prayers at each day's opening session last not more than two or three minutes. A recent example: "Forgive us all that we talk too much and think too little. For give us all that we worry so oft en and pray so seldom." The tall good-looking clergy man, who is also pastor of tlie New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, says that as far as he knows there is no "directive" for what his prayer before the Sen ate should be. "The prayer," he says, "is an expression of the needs we all feel." He tries to key the words he offers as much as possible to the problems confronting the law makers. On the opening of the special session called by President Tru man last November he prayed: "O God, our FathT, we pray for Thy wisdom and Thy guid ance for the members of this body as they meet in this troubled hour to consider what this nation should do about hunger that knows no Dolitios and want that will not wait. "We cannot escape history. That we have found out. May we also discover that we cannot evade responsibility. By Thy Holy Spirit awaken the conscience of America that our people may be willing to put humanity first." The chaplain says he is not dis appointed by the small number of senators present to bow their heads as he delivers the prayers before the Senate roll call. 'They know they are being prayed for, not only In the Sen ate, but by the whole people," he says. He prayed recently that the faith of the senators In the ef ficacy of prayer be kept strong. There are times, he says, when guidance asked in difficult de cisions "has not always come when we thought it should come." "Forgive us for thinking, there fore, that Thou art unwilling to help us In our dilemmas, or that there Is nothing Thou canst do," he asked. "Remind us. Our Father, that when we plug In an electric Iron and it fails to work, we do not conclude that electricity has lost Its power, nor do we plead with the iron." Dr. Marshall says he doesn't believe "God has any political af filiations." Dr. Marshall was born In Coat bridge, Scotland, speaks with a soft burr. His first two pasto rates were in Atlanta, where he lived nine years before coming to Washington to be pastor of the Presbyterian Church which Abra ham Lincoln attended. The Re publicans elected him chaplain a year ago. Douglas Poultry, Turkey Growers To Hear Experts Poultrymen and turkey grow ers of Douglas County will have an opportunity to discuss produc tion and marketing problems with Dr. E. M.

Mihai's personal tragedy mere v represents the final step in the grand coup which the Russians have executed In takino over Ro mania for, to all intents, it is now a part of the Soviet empire. And they've secured a fine prize. Romania is rich agriculturally, as is testified by her great fields of corn and other grains, and she has petroleum, perhaps a doubt ful asset for a small country with powerful neighbors. But she is even more important strategic ally. Trump For Russia Not only does Romania have a coastline on the Black Sea but she houses the mouths of the mighty Danube, which winds back across the Balkans and on Into Central Europe a navigable river which is canable of handlin" heavy traffic and thus is one of t:. world's vital waterways militarily and commercially. Moreover, she lies up against the Russian border, and thus her po litical complexion and Interna tional relations are of vast mo ment to Moscow, i The taking over of Romania Is B prime example of the dogged persistence with which the Com munists pursue the hunt. As far back as 1930 they were causing unrest In that country', and the authorities uncovered a wide spread Soviet espionage organiza tion. Some 140 alleged Red agents were arrested In various cities. These underground activities con tinued until the late war gave birth to the golden age of Bol shevism In Eastern Europe. As we check up on former Ro manian monarchs I'm afraid we can't give them perfect marks in stewardship and denortment. But Mihal who is only 26 just a "oungster as kings go has been showing a sturdiness of charac ter which endeared him to his people and might have made him a great ruler if he had been given a chance. He has been so brave In trying to carry out his duties In the face of personal danger that one can understand the af fection in which his subjects held him. So far as courage goes, Mihai's colorful lather has "lenty of it, only he would seem to have di rected too much of It In wrong directions. The former King Carol, now living in Portugal with his wife she who was Mag da Lupescu will be re orded as one of the notable royal lovers of history. At the age of 21 during the First World War, Carol elop ed with a Romanian orovlncial commoner, Zid Lambrino, and married her, to the consternation of the whole country. He even wanted to abandon his rights to the throne but his father. King Ferdinand, finally got the mar riage annulled. Then Carol married lovely Princess Helen of Greece and she is Mihai's mother. However, Carol soon fell violently in love with Madame Lupescu, abandoned his throne for her and was divorced by his wife. To give Carol credit, he has stuck to Magda through thick and thin, and thev were married recently In Brazil when It seemed thut she was about to die. I fear me that Carol got his great-lover traits Irom his dad, King Ferdinand. A friend of mine who knew Ferdinand well told me that his majesty had a warm penchant for Romania's beautiful Gypsy girls and was quite content to leave many af fairs of state In the hends of hit very able and world famous wife the late Queen Marie. iNfrlHMIII Rom where I sit ..
