Salem-IUPIl-House Minority
Leader F. F. Montgomery
Thursday joined the running
battle between the governor
and legislative leaders.
"The two-edged knife di
rected at college professors
and the state department of
finance by House Speaker
Clarence Barton smacks of
McCarthyism and bears un
forgivable inaccuracies for a
man in his position," Mont
gomery charged.
Barton castigated the fi
nance department in a verbal
salvo Wednesday in answer
to charges made by Gov.
Mark Hatfield.
"In castigating the depart
ment of finance by saying it
was made up of college pro
fessors who never have met
a payroll, the speaker casts a
boulder at the profession of
education In general," Mont
gomery said.
"It is all too typical of the
know-it-all attitude of those
who are out to get education
in this session of the legislature."

'Jehovah's Witnesses' Fastest Growing Religious Body in World
By LOUIS CASSELS
Unittd Pr.is International
The fastest growing religi
ous body in the world is a
Brooklyn-based sect whose ad
herents believe that dooms
day is hard at hand.
Its official name is the
Watchtower Bible and Tract
Society. The members are bet
ter known as "Jehovah's Wit
nesses." During the past 20 years -a
period in which the mem
bership of other churches ap
proximately d o u b I e d - the
number of Jehovah's Wit
nesses has increased by 700
per cent.
Today there are about 900,
000 full-fledged Witnesses,
and perhaps an additional one
million fringe members who
read the society's literature,
attend its meetings, and gen
erally sympathize with its
doctrines. One-third of them
live in the United States.
There also are fast-growing
branches of the society in
West Germany, France, Latin
America and Africa.
Their phenomenal growth
rate is the result of a zeal
for evangelism which puts the
established churches to shame.
Every Witness is regarded as
an ordained minister, and is
sent out to ring doorbells,
pass out literature on street
corners and preach the so
ciety's message to as many
people as possible. The aver-

age Witness, working an as
signed territory, makes per
sonal calls on at least 10
homes each week.
Behind this passion for convert-winning
is the firm con
viction of tne Witnesses that
the end of human history is
imminent. They expect it to
come at any hour, and almost
certainly within the next 10
years.
The end will come, they
say, with a titanic "Battle of
Armageddon" between the
forces of God and the forces
of Satan. The awesome pyro
technics of this struggle "will
make atomic explosions look
like firecrackers." The only
survivors will be Jehova's
Witnesses, who will there
after live eternally and bliss
fully, not in heaven, but right
here on earth.
Olh.r Religions Satanic
Because they regard all
other religious bodies as in
struments of Satan, Witnesses
feel that they can express
their love of neighbor only
by relentless proselyting
by bringing as many people
as possible into their own
fold before it is too late.
They also look upon all
human governments as instru
ments of Satan, and therefore
refuse to pledge allegiance to
any flag or to serve in any
nation's armed forces. This
stand has brought them into
constant conflict with the law,
and exposed them to many
mob attacks, tar-and-feather-ings
and other savage perse
cutions, both in this country
and elsewhere.
But the Witnesses are not
averse to using the judicial
processes of government.
Since 1938, they have car
ried 50 test cases before the
U.S. Supreme Court, and have
won 37 of them. Through this
litigation, they have won the
right to preach on the streets,
refuse jury duty, avoid sa
lutes to the flag, and carry
on house - to house solicita
tions. Leading constitutional law
yers credit the cases brought
by the Witnesses with achiev
ing a major expansion of civil
liberties for all Americans.
But this was a purely inci
dental by-product, so far as
the Witnesses are concerned.
They care nothing for improv
ing social conditions or right
ing injustices in human so
ciety, which they feel is cor
rupted beyond all hope of
redemption and already doom
ed to fiery destruction.
Many Americans who have
had brief encounters with
Jehovah's Witnesses or their
literature have formed the im
pression that they are an off
beat body of Protestants. But
the Witnesses have a distinc
tive theology of their own,
which can hardly be described
as a version of Christianity.
In his excellent study of
the Witnesses, "Armageddon
Around the Corner", Prof.
William J. Whalcn of Purdue
university says Witnesses may
be described as "fundamental
ist Unitarians."
"They regard the Bible as
the infallible word of God, a
word which must be taken
literally and at face value,"
says Prof. Whalcn. "At the
same time, they stoutly deny
the divinity of Jesus Christ
and the doctrine of the trinity.
An orthodox Christian theo
logian would recognize bits
and pieces of a dozen ancient
heresies in Witness theology."
Education in America
Youngsters' Difficulties Can
Be Corrected by Adult Guidance
By DAVID NYDICK
UPI Education Specialist
Parents have been made
extremely aware of the need
to seek psychological treat
ment for children when need
ed. Although many situations
call for this, every problem
is not a symptom of an emo
tional disorder.
Many difficulties can be
corrected by guidance and
good judgment. Temper can
be controlled,.
Consider the case of Fred,
a third grader, who punched
and kicked Larry, his class
mate. This Incident grew from
a simple shove. Fred lost his
temper. He had a great deal
of trouble controlling it. The
teacher had to pull the boys
apart. For the next few min
utes Fred remained wild. He
would not listen to reason.
When he finally settled down,
he was ashamed and sorry.
Unfortunately, similar inci
dents occurred more frequent
ly. This pattern of behavoir
caused the teacher much con
cern. She had a chat with the
principal. Perhaps together
they could help Fred. The aim
was to develop a friendship.
Fred was invited to stop in
at the office whenever he

The department said 4.9

felt uneasy or lost his tem
per.
With the next explosive in
cident, Fred hesitated to see
the principal. The teacher
brought him to the office.
The principal did not press
the issue. Fred did not want
to discuss what had happen
ed. Eventually, after several
more incidents and visits Fred
started talking about his prob
lems. This was promising.
During the next month, his
temper outbursts were less
and less frequent. He had
found another outlet.
The talks with the princi
pal were relaxing. Fred be
gan to understand his own
problem. He wanted to con
trol his temper. As he dis
cussed each incident, the
causes became less important.
In this way, he developed the
needed control.
The success of t h i s ap
proach has several implica
tions for working with chil
dren. The key is to provide
an escape which docs not de
stroy a child's pride. A child
often faces situations which
he docs not know how to
handle. He becomes frustrat
ed. The result may be a temp
er tantrum or other undesir
able action.
Often Us Fists
Parents should recognize
that children have many ;
things to learn. Dealing with i
difficult situations is one of
them. Young children often I
use their fists to settle argu- I
menls. As they grow this
method becomes less and less !
acceptable. Unfortunately, so- j
ciety is faced by many indi
viduals who have not develop
ed correct social behavior.
The growt'.i of understanding
and ability to handle un
pleasant situations is achieved
through experience and guid
ance. Parents and others concern
ed with the child's develop
ment should use the many
available opportunities to
achieve acceptable social be
havior. When children re
spond improperly, they need
understanding and direction.
Remove the dead end types of
situations. Show them that
there are other ways to deal
with these problems. This will
. Witnesses believe that the
Almighty is wrathful at Chris
tians because they call him
"God" instead of using his
proper name, Jehovah. They
have their own translation of
the Bible in which Jehovah
has been substituted for God
more than 6,000 times.
Although they look forward
with joy to an imminent and
fiery destruction of the pres
ent world, Witnesses do not
believe In a hell. The wicked
people who do not qualify for
perpetual bliss after the battle
of Armageddon ill not be
condemned to eternal punish
ment. They will simply be ex
tinguished. . Witness theology does pro
vide for heaven, but only a
select "little flock" of 144,000
persons will go there. Others
saved from he final debacle
wil1 remain on es"-th enjoying
a trouble-free exist nee for
ever. Magazine Provided Name
The official name of the so
ciety is derived from the title
of a magazine, '""he Watch
tower," founded in 1879 by
Charles Taze Russell, an Alle
gheny, Pa., " ''irdasher who
was attracted to adventist doc
trines of biblical interpreta
tion. He acquir d a body of fol
lowers, origina"y known as
Russellites, and predict' i that
the world would come to an
end in 1914. Witness theolo
gians have since reinterpreted
his prophecy and hold that
1914 marked the beginning of
an "invisible struggle" in
heaven which will culminate
in the fiery battle of Armeged
don on earth, any day now.
After RussrM's death in
1916, the movement was head
ed by a Missouri lawyer,
Joseph F. Rutherf rd. He con-ti..-ed
the emphasis on an im
minent end of time, and was
author of the famous Witness
prophecy: "Millions now liv
ing will never die."
Rutherford died of cancer
in 1942 and was succeeded by
Nathan H. Knoor, of Bethle
hem, Pa., who had been a full
time Witr.ess since he gradu
ated from high school in 1923.
Knorr is a quiet and retir
ing man compared t his col
orful predecessors. He has
been responsible for the pres
ent high degree of organiza
tional efficiency In the so
ciety, as well as for putting
its prodigious output of litera-tu-
(125 million books, tracts
and magazines a year) on s
businesslike basis.
The society's headquarters,
called Bethel House, and its
printing plant are located in
Brooklyn. Full-time workers,
of whom there are about 5,000
in the movement, receive
their room, board and $14 a
month spending money.
Everyone, including President
Knorr, lives on the same
standard.
Other Witnesses earn their
own living in everyday jobs
and carry on their house-to-house
evangelism during eve
nings and week ends. The
movement in modern times
has been notably devoid of
scandals. Witnesses are ex
communicated if they fail to
