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

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 cation, and it has been widely

tures than the King James.
' 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

easier for contemporary readers to under
stand. This photo shows the new Bible in

(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

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. The translators
point out in a preface that
"the conventional verse divi
sions in the New Testament
date only from 1551 and have
no basis in the original manuscripts."
