Calls Einstein
An Old Faker
Washington, Feb. 14 (IP) Rep.
Rankin (D-Miss.) said yesterday
that Scientist Albert Einstein is
an "Old Faker" who should have
been deported long ago because
of his "communistic activities."
The fiery Mississlppian said,
furthermore, that Einstein had
nothing to do with developing
the atom bomb.
At Einstein's New Jersey home
a spokesman said the scientist
would make no comment on
Rankin's statement.
. Einstein is generally rated
among scientists as the greatest
theoretical physicist since N ew
ton. Although he did not work
on the atom bomb itself, one of
his theories of relativity form
ed the basis for its development.
The United States embarked
on the A-bomb project after Ein
stein wrote to President Roose
velt during the war saing that a
bomb was possible and that the
Germans might succeed in pro
ducing one.
Rankin had printed in the
congressional record excerpts
from a report prepared for him
by the house un-American activ
ities committee. It listed alleg
ed communist front groups with
which Einstein was said to be
associated.

Signs Protect
Folk on Foot
A new method to guard per
sons -and property from injuv
at Salem street intersections will
be tried by setting up a couple
of dozen moveable stop signs.
They were ordered by the
city council Monday night after
Alderman David O Hara had said
the flouting of the law at inter
sections had reached the point
where something had to be done
O'Hara said he wasn't criti
cizing the police especially, be
cause it would take a lot of offi
cers to enforce the law at all
important intersections. But he
urged a campaign of some kind
to educate drivers and pedes
trians as to their duty at inter
sections.
An ordinance that requires
motorists to give pedestrians the
right of way was mentioned.
O'Hara said he wouldn't be so
exacting as to enforce the letter
of the law where perhaps only
one pedestrian is involved and
an actual stop by the car is not
necessary, but he cited instances
near the State house where "18
or 20 cars whiz by while the
pedestrian stands in the middle
of the street."
The signs ordered will be sim
ilar to those used in California.
They will require cars to stop
when pedestrians are crossing,
the street.
The violation of another city
ordinance by service station op
erators came up, and they will
be given 90 days in which to re
duce their driveway space to
ordinance requirements. The
ordinance was enacted several
years ago, but has been enforc
ed mainly only to new stations
or to those being rebuilt,

Dragon Dies
Being Unloaded
San Pedro, Cal., Feb. 14 U.R)
Animal hunter Noel Rosefelt's
plan to give the United States its
first live Komodo dragon mis
fired Monday by a few minutes
when the eight-foot lizard died
just before it was unloaded from
a freighter.
Rosefelt said the dragon was
alive 15 minutes before it was
lifted from the hold of the S. S,
President Tyler and lowered to
the dock. When he went to ex
amine it, however, it was curled
in the corner of its narrow crate,
dead.
The "dragon" was preceded
by his press clippings. The
China Mail described him as "a
killer, looking like a monstrous
shore lizard."
Rosefelt captured his dragon
on Komodo Island, off Borneo.
The hunter said it was the first
of his type ever taken alive.
The eight-foot long reptile has
a forked tongue and vicious
looking talons.
The dragon preys oh wild pigs,
birds, and even humans, Rose

Thornburg Talks
On Religion
Dr. Amos Thornburg, pastor
of the Hollywood Methodist
church of Hollywood, Cal., in
giving the first of a series of
three sermons Tuesday fore
noon in connection with religious
emphasis week at Willamette
university said that a good valid
religion must "always be grow-.
ing, must have concern for the
whole of life and must be uni
versal in its scope."
Speaking before a capacity au
dience of students in the sanctu
ary of the First Presbyterian
church, Dr. Thornburg said that
merely naving faith was not
sufficient. "The character and
object of your devotion makes
all the difference in the world
concerning the nature of your
life and work."
The clergyman said that "re
ligion can be so Christian it can
develop hypocritic that we can
not see the inconsistencies in
our own lives." He added that
too many do not see religion as
an abundant and changing thing.
In touching upon the phase
that religion must always be
growing, Dr Thornburg point
ed out that the life of Jesus
was one of cumulative work.
Yet, he said "one of the most
important aspects of religion is
that it must come of age in our
own lives."
Dr. Thornburg will speak on
the subject "The Possible You"
at 10 o'clock Wednesday fore
noon at- the First Presbytreian
church and on "The Victorious
Captive" at the First Methodist
church Thursday forenoon.
The dedication of "Little
Chapel" in Waller hall at 3:15
Tuesday afternoon was a fea
ture of religious emphasis week.
