May this be a "room at the Inn," a manger, a temple and a mosque, breathing the true essence of divinity. . - Here may troubled men, charged with a great duty in an hour of frightful peril, subscribe to the words of Sri Ramakrishna: "As one can ascend to the top of a house by means of a ladder, a bamboo, a staircase or a rope, so divers are the ways to approach God. and every religion in the world shows these ways. Different are the ways that lead to the Tem ple of Kalighat; sim ilarly varied are those that lead to the House of the Lord.” O you w ho have grow n weary o f your load, Shoulder it bravely again a little while.

He was wielding a hatchet and ex claiming, "Remember, you must strike straight and hard! You must strike often! And you mustn’t miss a single stroke." . . . In the sur prise finish, he was revealed as a scoutmaster Instructing Boy Scouts on woodmanship. The Fiction INFECTIOUS LAUGH Corner STAGE SCREEN RADIO HE MUCH ballyhooed probe of 1 the B-36 is now taking an un T expected and not too happy turn— at least for the navy. The turn is so unhappy that naval reserve cap tain Congressman Jimm ie Van Zandt, the Pennsylvania Republi can who started all the B-36 furor, would just as soon forget about it. For Chairman Carl Vinson of the armed services committee is not merely probing the B-36. He is •Iso investigating the source of the smear stories against secretary of defense Johnson and secretary of a ir Symington. In other words, he is probing the delicate but highly important question of who wrote Congressman Van Zandt's vitriolic speeches. In this connection it may be significant that the navy has suddenly transferred its press relations and propaganda ex pert, Rear Adm. Edward Ewen, to Guam. Admiral Ewen had served only one year of a three- year tour of duty, but suddenly be was whisked off to a distant island, far from the strong arm of a congressional subpoena. The Vinson committee also is ex pected to apply the microscope to the most powerful backstage lobby ing organization ever to buttonhole congressmen for a government bu reau—the Navy League. Frank Hecht, president of the Navy League, now has become so vitu perative in comparing Secretary Johnson to European dictators, that good-natured Bob Fleming, presi dent of Washington’s Riggs National Bank, is all set to resign as treasurer of the Navy League. As treasurer of the G.O.P. congres sional committee last year, Flem ing helped raise around a m illion dollars for Dewey, and has no love for the administration. But he hasn’t been able to stomach the Navy League diatribes. The Navy League has now taken over the admirals' crusade against the b ill before congress tightening unification. What the admirals say privately, the Navy League now says for them publicly. H is to ry Repeats By Richard H. Wilkinson Harry Truman isn’t the firs t Pres ident to have trouble with the Navy League. Herbert Hoover also had his headaches. Just 17 years ago he got into such a mudslinging duel with the Navy League that the latter ended up charging the Pres ident of the United States with "abysmal ignorance.” V O U CAN BUILD this handseme * settee by following the pattern method of construction.

Beside the skeleton of a child of about 2, probably a boy, had been placed his well-loved toy iron spear. A child in another grave was thought to be a girl. Beneath her chin were found the colored beads she used to wear and someone, more than 13 cen turies ago, had placed a large dec orated bead in her mouth when she was laid to rest. Leg and ankle bones of an old man were found to be bent, prob ably because he had squatted on his heels in a primitive home which boasted no chair. TT WAS ETHAN PRYOR S laugh- with Ethan.
