DISHARGE SNAFU
DENIED BY NAVY
AT TREASURE ISLE
Reports of Inefficiency Is
Countered by Officer in
Charge; 88,167 Go Home
San Francisco, Nov. 7 (U.R)
Reports of "slackness" In tunnel
ing tiomcbound sailors through
the Treasure Island naval re
ceiving station were denied to
day by the navy.
Naval officers pointed to a
record of nearly 3,000 men be
ing sent daily to discharge cen
ters throughout the country.
Rumors and reports by indi
vidual enlisted men circulated
in San Francisco that Treasure
Island, biggest navy veteran in
take center on the west coast,
was a "concentration camp on
the doorstep to home" and that
sailors couldn't get home be
cause of "navy inefficiency."
12-Day Delay
A chief machinist's mate from
Boston, Mass., who declined to
reveal his name, charged he and
a group of 200 men in the Boston
draft were kept for 12 days de
spite a navy promise to speed
them within 72 hours after their
arrival aboard the battleship
Colorado of the Third fleet.
These charges were countered
by Lt. (SG) Robert Craig (USN),
officer in charge of the receiv
ing station.
Craig, a veteran of 25 years of
navy service who came up
through the ranks, told the Unit
ed Press that "some men were
delayed naturally. I know how
these who are held up by ball-
ups feel, but fortunately iney
aren't the majority."
88,167 Discharged
He reported that this station.
built on the site of the 1939
Golden State exposition and still
using many of the fair's large
buildings, had turned out 88,-
167 men since it began its oper
ation of returning homebound
sailors two months ago.
The station, Craig s records
showed, gets approximately
3,000 men a day from aboard
ships docking in San Francisco
Bay.
Craig said a returning sailor,
destined for a discharge center,
could be processed through
Treasure Island in a minimum
of 12 hours, which allowed for
normal paper work, issuance of
new clothing, obtaining trans
portation and identifying and
tracing baggage.
'The average Is about 48
hours," he said, "and it some-

A lecture on Christian Science,
entitled "Christian Science A
Religion of Answered Prayer,'
was given last night at the Holly
theater by Arthur C. Whitney,
C.S., of Chicago, 111., member of
thethe Board of Lectureship of
the Board of Lectureship of
Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston, Mass.
The lecturer spoke substan
tially as follows:
It is natural for you who come
here in need of healing to find
it during this hour, whether it
is relief from fear, frustration,
loss, hate, depression, lack, sin,
or disease. How can you be heal
ed? By your simple act of accept
ing and knowing the Bible truths
about God and man. You can
also be healed by earnestly read
ing and studying the lecture.
Let me tell you of a healing
that took place during a lecture
a short time ago. At the close
of one lecture, a man came up
to me and put out his hand. I
gave him mine and ho really
took it. I haven't had a hand
shake like that since I was in
college, and you remember how
we used to do it there. He looked
me right in the eye. He had a
twinkle in his eye. He said, "I
did that purposely." Well, it
didn't make any sense to me at
that point. But then he went
on to say: "When I came in here
tonight, I came in with a useless
and helpless right arm and hand.
I just wanted you to see and feel
what the power of God did for
me during this hour." He raised
his hand and arm over his head
and he said: "Do you see that?
I can't remember when I've been
able to do that."
Living in lhe Divine Presence
Christian Science teaches you
to pray simply by just knowing
the truth by just realizing, as
the Bible teaches, that the divine
presence Is right here now. You
pray, too, when you expel the
times runs to three days due to
the impossibility of obtaining
transportation.
Cara Lacking
"The arrival of the Third fleet
was a good example. There were
more men than we anticipated
and although we mustered ev
ery available piece of railroad
stock we couldn't get them all
out.
"That's what happened to the
Boston draft. I know about that
one. That's one reason why the
railroads ask us for 120-hour
advance notice of our passenger
requirements," he said.

Hi
belief from your thinking that
there is any other or opposite
presence. You can know that
wherever your boy or other
boys may be tonight, that right
there is the presence of God, in
finite spiritual consciousness, the
realm of the actual and real.
Know that they live, move, and
have their existence in God, and
God alone. Reject the mental
concept that would see them in
a.mwterial realm of war, danger,
destruction, and death. Repu
diate such a concept as a coun
terfeit belief of the carnal mind.
In like manner, become con
scious that all the power that
exists is divine, spiritual, good
is God. That you, your boy, and
other boys are subject alone to
that power "which protects,
guards, sustains, and heals; for
each one lives, moves, and has
his existence in the realm of the
spiritual, the divine, the real,
the actual, not the mortal, the
material, the apparent, and un
real. You live in God now and
ternally. God is eternal Life, and
God is your eternal Life. To
know it is to pray, and to know
or be conscious of the truth is to
be made free from its opposing
beliefs. The important thing,
though, is to know it. Jesus
didn't say that you could be
made free by hearing the truth
or by reading the truth, but,
of course, it is a good plan to
hear and to read, then you have
something to know. But the vital
thing is to know the truth. To
have a conviction that it is true
and real and actual, here and
now to be at peace in that con-
sciousness.
Tha Christ Raises tha
Dead Today
Jesus gave us a promise. Think
of this, too, as a promise made
to you individually. He said,
"Verily, verily, I say unto you
He that believeth on me (that is,
he that believeth the Christ, the
Truth), the works that I do shall
he do also." That is a promise.
No promise of the Master ever
failed.
Let me tell you of a modern
fulfillment of that promise
Some years ago, a nine-year-old
boy was playing on the roof of
a three-story apartment build
ing. He was up there with some
other boys. He tried to jump to
we root of the adjoining build
Ing, just a few feet away, but
his legs just weren t long enough
He landed on a concrete pave
ment. Bystanders picked him up
ana rushed him to a hospital.
The hospital authorities phoned
his home. They said: "Your Doy
met with an accident. He has
just been brought into our hos
pital. We've examined him. He's
dead." At that moment in that
home were two earnest Chris
tian Scientists who believed the
truth, who had a conviction of
the Christ. They repudiated the
picture presented as a counter
feit belief of the carnal mind.
They held to the spiritual facts
of the presence of eternal Life,
and man living eternally and
unchangeably in that Drescnce
in that eternal Life. One of them
called a Christian Science prac
titioner ana asked that the con
sciousness of the eternalitv of
that boy's life be upheld. Think
of that. She didn't ask that he
be raised from the dead, no
She asked that the consciousness
of the eternal ity of that boy's
life be upheld. Thats knowing
the truth. That is the prayer of
spiritual understanding. A little
while later that day, the hos
pital authorities discovered that
boy breathing again. There was
no explanation they could offer.
Prayer In Christian Science was
continued, and three days later
that boy regained consciousness.
Now, I say to you just what I
want to read to you from the
Acts of the Apostles in the Bible.
Paul said this to King Agrippa.
and I say it to you: "Why should
it be thought a thing incredible
with you, that God should raise
the dead?" It should not. When
Jesus said, "Ye shall know the
truth," he said it would make
you free, and he put no limita
tions whatever upon what it
would free you from. It frees
you from whatever is unlike
God.
The other evening a man said
to me after hearing that exper
ience, "But where is that boy
today?" It seemed to me that
I sensed a little skepticism in
his voice and thought. It was
really thrilling to Joyously an
swer, "He's in active service in
the United States Navy."

SPEAKS NEXTTO
KNIFE, FORK CLUB
Merryle Stanley Rukeyser,
noted economist and economic
commentator, whose syndicated
column appears in the New
York Journal American, and
other newspapers from coast to
coast will be featured speaker
at the Rogue River Valley Knife
and Fork club on Friday, Nov.
18.
In evaluating economic and
political ideas, Mr. Rukeyser,
who Is the author of "Financial
Security in a Changing World"
and five other books, has intro
duced the technique of the
"audit." Thus, in debating on
coast to coast radio forums with
socialists, trade union econo
mists, and professional critics of
business, he has, in effect, exam
ined the credentials of the crit
ics, and determined their fitness
to set themselves up as judges.
As a next step, he has tested
their ideas by relating them to
basic factual material developed
by independent research.
Seas Bayond Fog
With a gift for peering beyond
the fog of words, Mr. Rukeyser
deals with genuine realities, and
relates his generalized discus
sions to the problems, hopes and
fears of his fellow Americans.
He has a strong conviction that
the American enterprise system
is progressive and is capable of
evolutionary improvement. He
regards Marxian trends as re
actionary, and harrrjful to the
masses when they are ostcnisbly
intended to benefit.
Using the analogy of the
world of finance, Mr. Rukeyser
describes as a "blue sky pros
pectus" the high sounding pre
tensions of politicians at home
and abroad, which are unrelat
ed to their real purposes.
