The language o f the countless ones who reach
For sympathy w ith weak im p lo ring hands;
T o each in his own tongue he has the words
That bring the quick re lie f o f tears; he speaks
And suddenly old heavy burdens lift,
And there is hope again for him who seeks.

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.”

Yet on these walls and in

One of the most perfect video

by Boris Karloff which opened
with a three-quarters close-up of
him in his most terrorizing form.
He was wielding a hatchet and ex

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.

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.”

Saxon ancestors through relics dug
up recently from an ancient burial

Coulsdon.
Beside the skeleton of a child
of about 2, probably a boy, had
been placed his well-loved toy

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
