1- Committee Split On Bill To Give Power To Parties Salem - (UPD - The House Elections committee split sharply Wednesday over a bill to give political parties more power. Chairman George An- ' nala (D-Hood River) described it as "an absolute machine pol itics setup." He said he would be "very reluctant" to support HB1549, recommended by a 14-member study committee o Republi- ' cans and Democrats. National convention dele- .. gates would be elected by ..state party conventions in stead o elected by the people. .' National committeemen and women should be similarly chosen but their names would go on the ballot. Mrs. Jean Young of Port- . land, secretary of the biparti- . san committee, cited last May's primary when the list , of candidates for delegates , was so long the ballot ap . proach the size of a bed sheet. .'No Voice' Feared An nala,' a conservative Democrat, said he and others In the Democratic minority would have "no voice" in such a system. Mrs. Young, a Republican, , said the GOP has its problems too but one concern is that . precinct workers now have , "no real status." They would get some under the bill by .county level elections prior to the slate convention, she said. Rep. Ken Maher (R-Port-land) said the problem is not only long ballots but a bad ' situation where voters vote on name familiarity only. ' Rep. Ed Benedict (D-Port-land) spoke for the bill and also criticized voting by name familiarity. This brought a rise out of Rep. Katherine Musa (D-The Dalles) who asked: "Do you mean to say the people don't know how to vote?" Benedict replied that peo ple "just don't know the can didates." Delaware Expects 10 Per Cent Farm Gain Newark, Del. - (UPD - Total agricultural Income for Dela ware in 1960 was expected to be up as much as 10 per cent over 1959, according to cur rent estimates, said W. T. Mc- ' Allister, extension economist at the University of Delaware School of Agriculture. Most of the Delaware gains were accounted for by a good .year for poultrymen. Broil ers, eggs and turkeys all "showed good returns when I compared with 1959, McAllis ter said.

MILTON i. WERSHOW, Real Estate Broker Long-Awaited New English Bible Translates Scriptures Into Easier-to-Understand Language By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Corespondent The New Testament portion of the long-awaited "New Eng lish Bible" has been publish ed. It is a magnificent transla tion of the Scriptures into modern English, far easier for contemporary readers to un derstand than the 350-year-old King James Version, yet grac ed with many of the felicities of style that have endeared the King James to all lovers of the language. A select team of scholars from leading British univer- L a J NEW TRANSLATION-The New Testament portion of "The New English Bible" has been published by Oxford and Cambridge University presses. Fourteen years in prep aration by leading British scholars, it is an entirely new translation of the Bible into sities, headed by Prof. C. H. Dodd of Oxford, spent 13 years preparing the New Tes tament translation. Another group is still at work on the Old Testament, which.will ap pear in about six years. "The New English Bible" is not a mere revision of earlier versions, but an entirely fresh translation from the original Greek into the idiom of today. A -secret panel of literary ad visers, including some of Britain's top poets and novel ists, assisted the Biblical scholars in their work. Easy To Comprehend The result is a Bible which anyone can read and compre hend. Many passages whose meaning is obscured by the archaic English of the King James Version leap into life in this new version, and strike the 20th Century reader with the same force that the Greek original had for the world in which it was written. The new Bible appears un der the joint auspices of the major Protestant churches of the British isles. It is being published by the Oxford and Cambridge University presses. The standard edition of the New Testament will sell for $4.05. Anticipating great public in terest, the publishers ordered an initial printing of 5'00,000 copies, largest in British pub lishing history. The new translation is in tended primarily for private reading rather than for lilur- so. tt. Z levels onice Diag. JTJ ni ft. 3-level office building, beautifully gical use in public worship But unlike some previous modern translations, it is not so informal that it sounds breezy or slangy. It is cast in simple, clear English prose, never stilted but always dig nified. This reviewer can see no good reason why it should not be used in public worship. Cassels Makes Prediction In fact, he Is inclined to go way out on a limb with the prediction that "the New Eng lish Bible" will succeed in do ing what no other translation has been able to do since 1611 -namely, supplant the King James Version as the standard Bible of English speaking Protestants. The need lor such a new English translation has long been apparent to church lead ers. As Prof. Dodds puts it, "If the Bible is to make any impact on the minds of people at large, its documents need to be understood. And there is incontrovertible evidence that the language of the King James version Is no longer un derstood by large sections of the population." Scholars ' have identified more than 1,000 English words used in the King James Ver sion whose meaning in com mon usage has altered so greatly over the past 350 years as to make a Biblical passage baffling, or even positively misleading, to a 20th Century reader. Moreover, there have been tremendous advances In Bibli cal translation techniques dur ing the past 50 years. New manuscripts have become available which are centuries older and considerably more accurate than the texts used by the translators of the King James. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient documents have thrown significant new light on the meaning of words in the "common Greek" of the first and second centuries A.D., in which the New Testa ment was originally written. Revised Standard Version All of these considerations prompted a group of Ameri can scholars to bring out, in 1052, the "Revised Standard Version" of the Bible, under : the auspices of the National Council of Churches, i More than 5 million copies of the "RSV" were sold in the I first five years after its publi I cation, and it has been widely I hailed by church leaders as a much clearer and more accu i rate rendition of the Scrip- The Dalles Infant Perishes in Fire The Dalles fUPIi An infant boy perished in a fire at a triplex Wednesday while sleeping in his crib.

' But despite the favor it has found among serious Bible students, it has never come close to supplanting the King James in popular affection. The translators of the Re vised Standard Version con sciously sought to use v lan guage suitable for public wor ship, and also to preserve as much of the literary style of the King James Version as possible while changing spe cific words and phrases where necessary for clarity. The translators of the New England Bible ignored a 1 1 '.' '. -, . modern English. The new version makes it easier for contemporary readers to under stand. This photo shows the new Bible in comparison to the 350-year-old King James version. (UPI Telephoto) previous translations, and ap pear to' have consciously avoided the language of the King James. Their approach was to decide exactly what a passage meant in the original Greek. Then, instead of mere ly substituting English words for Greek words, they sought to render the full meaning of the passage in living, con temporary English. Favors New Bible Thus the new Bible is much more strikingly "different" from the King James than is the RSV. And in the opinion of this reviewer, it is vastly more readable and more ef fective in communicating the Biblical message to modern man. For example, here are some of the Beatitudes, from Christ's Sermon on the Mount, they appear in the three versions: King James And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying, "Blessed are the poor In spirit: for their's is the king dom of heaven. "Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be com forted. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after right eousness: for they shall be filled." Revised Standard Version "And He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: "Blessed are the poor In spirit, for theirs is the king dom of heaven. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be com forted. "Blessed are the meek, for thev shall inherit the earth. "Blessed are those who hun eer and thirst for righteous ness, for they shall be satis fied." The New Enqlish Bible "He took His seat, and when His disciples had gathered round Him He began to ad dress them. And this is the teaching He gave: "How blessed are those who know that they are poor; The ; kingdom of heaven is theirs. 1 "How blessed are the sor rowful; They shall find con solation. "How blessed are those of a gentle spirit; "They shall have the earth for their possession, "How blessed are those who hunecr and thirst to see right prevail; "They shall be satisfied." Even in famtfiar passages like the Nativity story, whore the poetic language of the King James has gained the strongest hold on popular af fection, the New English Bible rises to the challenge of tell ing the same story wilh equal beauty - and greater clarity. The 2nd chapter of St. Luke's Gospel in the King James Version begins: "And it came to pas in those davs. that there went : out a decree from Caesar I Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. I "And this taxing was first MPDFOPT . 1PE. made when Cyrenius was gov ernor of Syria. "And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

Even in its typographical aspect, the New English Bible will seem different to readers conditioned to older versions. It does not use numbered verses as do the King James and RSV.
