MAIL TRIBUNE
The Septuagint Bible
For some days there
to-attend-to corner of the
Septuagint Bible as recently edited, revised and en
larged by C. A. Muses, MA., Ph.D., of Columbia Uni
versity and published by
Indian Hills, Colo., and New York.
In view of the recent numerous letters to The Mail
Tribune concerning the interpretation of -biblical' ref
erences to dates and events, the Septuagint is particu
larly interesting to Bible students for the original is
the oldest Greek version of the Old Testament. It
dates from the third century before Christ and prob
ably was made for Jews of
knowledge of the Hebrew language.
, .. e
DECAUSE of our lack of time to study Dr. Muses'
. thick volume, and because of our feeling of inade
quacy in approaching involved theological matters,
we were glad to note an editorial in The Oregonian
which sets forth the background of the Septuagint.
The editorial also gives some of Dr. Muses' comments
on the work of translating
into English, a task which
American scholar finished in. 1808 after twenty years
of labor.
Says The Oregonian:
Dr. Muses, in his introduction to the revised Thomson
translation, contends that the Septuagint Bible is closer
. ; to . the original Hebrew than are more commonly known
versions.
-: f -;. "The oldest Hebrew text in existence in the third
' , century B. C. had been used by the early Septaugint
. translators; but it is unfortunate that in post-Christian
times all Hebrew manuscripts containing the older text
increasingly found their way into the 'genizah,' the ceme
tery near every .large ancient synagogue for abandoned
scrolls of the Torah and other sacred writings," he says.
" . . . The oldest literary evidence of the Bible the
Septuagint vellum manuscripts, the Samaritan Pentateuch,
. ' and the biblical papyrus scrolls all tend to agree with,'
each other more than with the present Hebrew text, which
dates no earlier than 100 years after the Christian era had
begun. Unfortunately, that late text was relied upon by
both Origen and St. Jerome as the 'original' Hebrew in their .
work of redaction and translation, and the same dependence .
was used by Luther and the King James committee. - -
"... Interesting enough, in St Jerome's version, as
finally accepted in the Vulgate Bible, we still find the
Septuagint version of the psalms, as well as several books
from the older version."
There is abundant and widely scattered evidence,' says
Muses, that the Septuagint text of the Bible was the one
in use in the time of Jesus and his disciples. -
Undoubtedly publication again in English of this old
version is of great interest to Bible scholars. But the Septua
gint will never replace the King James version as the popu
lar Bible.
Compare the' first two verses of Genesis. .The. -King
'.-James version says: , ? .
In the beginning God ereatod the heaven and thVearih. .
2. And the earth was without form, and void? and dark-;
nets was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God1 -moved
upon the face of the waters,
The Septuagint puts it this way: . ? " ' r - '
In the beginning God. mad the. heaven and the earth.
(2) And lho earth was invisible and unfurnished and there
was darkness over -this abyss, and. a breath; of God was -brought
on above the water. : ; r
' Or, let us look at the twenty-third psalm. The Septus
gint version follows: . ;
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall want nothing. (2) In ;f .
a verdant pasture He hath fixed my abode. He has fed ma ".
by gently flowing water (3) and restored my soul. Ha hath
led me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
(4) For though I walk amid the shades of death: I will fear .
no ills, because Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff
have been my comfort. (5) Thou hast spread a table bofore .
met in tho presence of them who afflict me. With oil Thou
hast anointed my head; and Thine exhilarating cup is the
very best. (6) Thy mercy will surely follow me all the days
of my life; and my dwelling shall be in the house of the
. Lord to length of days.
How much more rhythmic is this jubilant song in the
King James Bible: -
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;' he
leadeth me beside the still waters. :
3. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
4. Yea, though I walk throug the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod ;
and thy staff they comfort me.
V 5. Thou preparest a table before me in tho presence of
mine enemies; thou annointest my head with oil: my cup
runneth over.
'6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
. for ever.
The King James version recently has been revised.
Some changes undoubtedly were necessary to clarify words
whose meanings have changed in the past 350 years. But -the
revised version has lost some of the power and majesty
of the King James in the process. The Septuagint Bible,
though it may be closer to the original,, lacks that full
power also. The 54 scholars who in 1611 presented to King
James the results of seven years of labor truly must have
been inspired. ;

Tourist Income Stays High
i Oregon enjoyed an income of $125,000,000 from
out-of-state tourists last year, according to the Port
land Chamber of Commerce. The figures, based on
data supplied by the travel information division of
the state highway department, approximated those
for 1953 and were around $4,000,000 more than re
ceipts reported for 1951 and 1952.
THE figures do not include money, spent by Ore
gonians vacationing in their own state as tie lat
ter totals are much more difficult to estimate.
One of the best guesses as to the amount spent by
in-state tourists was arrived at in 1951 and 1952 by
questioning motel operators on this phase of their
business; The motel men figured 46 per cent of their
patronage came from Oregonians in both years and
this percentage applied to the state's 1954 figure for
out-of-state tourists wculd indicate an in-state tour
ist business of $106,000,000. ; i r - ;-. i

No Doubt Held That
Burgess and MacLean
Working for Soviets
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
There can be no more doubt
that ' Guy Burgess and Donald
Marlan. h British diplomats
who - vanished
in ; France in
May, 1951, are
working for
the Russians..
It seems
pretty certain,
on the basis
of a number
of peacemeal
reports; that
they -are in
Moscow, act
ing as advisers
manes juccaiui
to the Soviet foreign ministry
on propaganda directed toward
the West. : ; 4
. But the real mystery of their
disappearance remains as deep
as ever.' 1
- That,, mystery is why and how
Burgess and MacLean reached
their decision to abandon their
careers arid betray the trust put
in them as foreign office offi
cials by going behind the iron
curtaip. . ' -. '
First, they are not the sort
of men who do that sort of thing,
even in these days of defections
of scientists, officials and secret
police agents from one side of
the iron curtain to the other. -
Prominent Men :':
Burgess and MacLean were
members of what still may be
called the British ruling class.
They were' products of the ex
clusive "public" school system
and of Cambridge University.
MacLean was the son of the late
Sir Donald MacLean, liberal
party leader and former cabinet
minister.
There is suspicion that both
men were strong Communist
sympathizers if not Communist
agents, but there is no solid evi
dence that they were Commun
ist Party members.
Secondly, Burgess - and Mac-
Lean seem to have reached their
decision suddenly.
May 25, 1951, was MacLean's
38th birthday: He took his usual
commuter's train home , to Sur
rey county from the foreign of
fice to join" his American-born
wife, who had borne him two
children and was expecting a
third.
Burgess, that day, had . en
gaged a two-berth - cabin on a
channel streamer and had in
vited an American, man friend
in London to accompany him on
Editorial Comment
Poor Politics
. If the way to win friends and
influence ; people is to starve
them out, then the Federal Bud
get Bureau seems to be on the
right track. If it isn't then it
would appear there's some
mighty poor politics going on in
Washington these days.
The Statesman's Washington
correspondent, A. Robert Smith,
quotes a high administration of
ficial as saying the $20,000,000
Rogue River reclamation project
is being left out of the budget for
1955 because Oregon voters re
fused to return Republican Guy
Cordon to the Senate and thereby
gave Democrats control of that
body.
There is no official word, on
the matter yet. That will not be
out until President Eisenhower
sends his detailed budget mes
sage to congress next week. But
from Washington dispatches on
present activities there, prospects
are not too bright. It is known
that just before Cordon left of
fice in December he attempted
to loosen funds for ;the . Rogue
River project. "But the boys-in
the (budget) bureau feel, 'Why
should they help Cordon. He was
defeated'," the administration
official said.

ia brief visit to France.
But . Burgess rented a drive-it-yourself
. car and after, re
ceiving a telephone call . at his
apartment drove down to ; Mac
Lean's home. He took two suit
cases.: He was introduced to
Mrs. ' MacLean as ''Ronald
Styles." ..
After dinner, Burgess took his
suit cases, MacLean took a brief
case and they drove to South
hampton... MacLean told his wife
they were going to see a-friend
and might stay overnight. Bur
gess and, MacLean took - the
steamer to St: Malo, France.' and
were driven by car to Rennes,
a railroad junction point for
Paris. There they vanished.
Telegrams apparently- dic
tated if not written by Burgess
and MacLean reached their rela
tive ,while British secret police
hunted them. It was evident that
MacLean maintained close con
tact with his wife. She went
later to Switzerland to live with
her children, - now three. They
disappeared Sept. 11, 1953.
Burgess sent Christmas greet
ings to his mother in London in
1953 and last month. The letters
were mailed in London, appar
ently by a crewman of a Russian
ship or a Soviet embassy agent.
But ' they only deepened the
mystery of the two diplomats.

Comment On This and That
By HARMAN
United Pratt
Washington (U.R) - What's
new in Washington:
The Defense Department got
a letter from a
10 - year - old
boy in Okla
homa. He want
ed "aU the in
formation you
have about air
planes." And
he wanted
same in a hur
ry ."Please send
it by guided
missile'? the
Harmon Nichols lad said.
The 84th Congress already has
a hopper full of proposed new
measures and resolutions, all of
which will be referred to com
mittees.. " ' '
One of., my favorites was
dropped in the box by Sen. Barry
M. Goldwater, the Republican
On the basis of that statement,
we - would say the designation
"boys" is right. Maybe a few men
should take over the budget job.
Another inept, inopportune and
unworthy statement also is at
tributed to them in regard to
Secretary of the Interior Mc
Kay's espousal of the project
"The budget bureau has seen the
Oregon election returns and they
know McKay came out on the
short end." ' "'
We do not believe President
Eisenhower would want that
kind of evaluation placed on re
clamation needs of this' country.
We do not believe he would want
men in responsible positions who
were foolish enough to indulge
in that kind of archaic thinking,
let alone voice it aloud. If his
aids think that punishing Oregon
to the extent of refusing' to bud
get projects which Congress al
ready has authorized will bring
this state back into the GOP
fold, they've got holes in their
collective heads.

reflected to Smith comprises the

mulgated by , Republicans . in

Milk and Butter -
To the Editor: The . people of
the Rogue valley and Oregon are
asked to use more dairy products,
but as long as the price of milk
and butter is as high as at pres
ent there will be very little con
sumed. ' '
I am from Minnesota and I
left there about ten years ago for
personal reasons but my rela
tives are still there.
My sister wrote me the other
day that Grade A milk sells for
16 cents a quart in all retail
markets and the dairies have a
lot more expenses there in the
winter than they have here.
am referring to the dairies or
creameries, not the producers.
I am wondering why the seven
cents a quart difference. The
producers aren't getting it. Also
how come the .increase in price
of butter here of late? When the
price was lowered last spring I
started to use butter again, be
cause I was able to afford it
Now it is over 70 cents again
and I am forced to stop.
I may be wrong but all I can
figure is that there must be
something wrong in Oregon.

In a speech, Don Paarlberg, as
sistant to Secretary of. Agricul

this intelligence: "The time was
when the tired husband came
home from work and asked his
wife, "What's cookin. Today,
L with frozen" foods,, he is more
likely to ask, What's thawin'?"
Benson himself, by the by,' also

at a scientist and say, "look, this

The Army spent two - years

film called '"This Is Your Army."
Since the adininistration ordered
sharp cuts in the budget .for the
Army, unhappy Pentagon offi
cers are wryly suggesting the
movie be re-titled "This Was
Your. Army." , '
Speaking of the. Pentagon,
some of the big faces there are
red. The heraldry branch de
signs coats of arms for Army
units and writes spirited mottoes
for them. Soldiers of an armored
battalion at Fort Hood, Tex.,
proudly wore such a coat of arms
for a time. The motto: "Videre
Parere Est." Along came a GI
latin student who translated it:
"To see is to submit." It seems
that the heraldry branch really
meant "Videre Parare : Est,"
which means, "to see is to pre
pare." TM :

Politcal note:
The Democratic national com

dent Eisenhower's proposals in
his State-of-the-Union message to
the. Congress the other day.
It asks how the President can
talk about Russia's steadily
growing military power and
then justify proposals to CUT
American armed i orces.
I
WOULDN'T know, gentlemen.
But President Eisenhower is
rather generally recognized as
the world's ablest soldier. It's
just possible that hemight know
more about military matters

critter up into the wild blue yon

Is That So?
' By Eugtit Bam ,
Ranger-Naturalist
When hatched from its egg,
the grasshopper is a miniature
grownup and like all insects has
a hard shell skeleton on the out
side of its body which it must
break if it Is to gain adult size.
But the grasshopper does riot
break its skeleton once, it does
from each one!
Before breaking and shedding
its old rags, it grows a new un
dersuit one which is soft and .
can expand before hardening. ; ,
Another- astonlshine - fact:
should the' grasshopper meet,
with an accident and lose his
head, which is the front part; or
his belly, which is the rear part,
he can still navigate without
trouble. That is because his legs,'
attached to the middle part,: the,
thorax, are controlled by local
ly-operated nerves.. . :
The female starfish produces
over ' 200,000,000 eggs a year.
enougn to overrun me sea in a
couple of centuries. Fortunate
ly,, only a few ever reach matur
ity. because thousands of fishes
prey upon them. But the starfish
in turn preys upon the oyster,:
and well that it does. The off
spring of one oyster and her liv
ing descendants total right
around a mere 6,600,000,000,-
000,000,000,000,00 0,0 0 0,000,000
and if it were not for the star
fish, the sea might soon be over-;
run with oysters. V
. Most starfish have . five arms
under which are hundreds of
feet. At the tip of each arm is
an eye, a small red disc. So, re
gardless of ' what direction it
takes, it has one weather . eye '
looking ahead, two to the sides,
and another pair covering its
retreat. Should it lose an arm,
it can grow a new one, replete
with eye. .
Feet for Smelling
Among the hundreds of feet,
a certain few are designed for.
smelling. The foot,, provided
with the sense of smell, moves
about, feeling and sniffing each
nWprt which micrht serve . as
chow. Being in the shape of a
foot, it can be used as a foot,
But speaking of smelling or
gans, some male moths, can
smell out a virgin moth three
miles away! But more of that at,
