By LOUIS CASSELS

noted scientist who serves as
deputy chief of the National
Aeronautics and fapace Act
ministration.
He is also a licensed lay
preacher in the Methodist
Church.
As a man who is deeply in
volved In both worlds, he sees
no "conflict" between science
and religion.
"Even a scientist needs ret
icious faith, he said in an
interview.
"Science has made tremen
dous contributions to man

mysteries of the material uni
verse and freed the minds of

men from ignorance and sup
erstition.
"But science is a partial
view of life ... in many re
spects, a narrow view."
Cliche Not Accepted
Dr. Drydcn does not accept
the cliche that religious peo
ple live by "faith" whereas
scientific people live by "ob
jective" knowledge.
"The areas of knowledge
which one person can explore
in detail and experience for
himself, even in a lifetime,
are very few," he said.
"No man could possibly live
in the modern world on the
knowledge he himself has
mastered. He lives by faith
in the results of the experi
ence of other men, both those
now living and those of past
generations
"His interpretation of the
Universe ... of meaning and
value ... of moral purpose
. . . and his whole philosophy
of life are great adventures
of faith. In scientific lan
guage, they are extrapolations
from the information and in
sights available to him as one
particular individual with
sharply limited knowledge of
our universe.
Leads to Materialism
Dr. Dryden said that some
people "are led to a purely
materialistic view" of the uni
verse.
"Others, including myself,
are persuaded that in the uni
verse there are both the ma
terial and the spiritual."
Either view, he emphasized,
Is necessarily held on faith,
because neither can be demon
strated conclusively by the
objective methods of science.
Occasionally, some scientist
will venture beyond the prop
er boundaries of his discipline
and attempt to "prove" the
materialistic view of the uni
verse.
Dr. Drydcn said he had
read an article recently by a
scientist who felt that the ap
parent spiritual dimensions
of human existence could all
be adequately explained in
materialistic terms.
"He was convinced," said
Dr. Dryden, "that the Inner
life of man-his consciousness
of self, his power of thought,
his conscience, his ideals -were
the direct result of the
physical and chemical activ
ity of the brain." He found
proof" of this thesis in "the
fact that damage to the brain
destroyed some or all of the
manifestations, and that r'.rugs
could excite or pacify an in
dividual." Dryden Ponders Argument
Dr. Dryden said he found
himself thinking about this
argument one Sunday morn
ing in church "when I should
have been listening to the
sermon."
"It occurred to me that sci
entific progress has made us
familiar with many realities
that are not directly per
ceived by our own physical
senses.
"I recalled that at that very
moment there were present
within the room - invisible
electromagnetic waves from
hundreds of radio and tele
vision stations carrying voices
music and pictures from as
many distant places.
"Although I could not at
the moment hear or see them,
I knew that if a rather com
plex assemblage of copper,
glass, aluminum and a num
ber of other scarce materials
whose very names are un
known to most of us were
brought into the room and
properly adjusted, any one of
these programs could be se
lected and heard or seen.
"I knew too that if I dam
aged the radio or television
receiver, the program would
disappear. But this certainly
would not in any way remove
the radio waves from the
room; nor would it demon
strate that the entire phenom
ena were produced by the ap
paratus in the room.
Presence Felt
"Then my thought return
ed to my faith that there was
also present within that same
room, and elsewhere, an ever
present spiritual Personality
whose voice can also be heard
by another, even more com
plicated, assembly of mate
ria ls-the assembly of carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen and other
chemicals which we call a
human being.
"If a human being's physi
cal body is damaged or dis
eased, the reception may in
deed fail. But that does not
affect the reality of the in
visible spiritual forces, any
more than breaking a receiver
proves that there aren't any
radio waves in a room."
Dorm i to ries Built
In Plastic Bags
WilKes-Barre, Pa. OIPIl
They laughed when he said
he was going to erect two col
lege dormitories inside plas
tic bags.
But Joseph D'Andrca, 29
year old character of Dun-
more, Pa., has had the last
laugh.
And saved himself a lot of
money in the bargain.
Last year D'Andrea bid on
his first major job as a gen
eral contractor: construction
of two three-story dormitor
ies for Keystone Junior col
lege at LaPlume, Pa
He received the award.
which specified completion
within 375 days, or by July
28, IB63.
Cold Interferes
Winter started early here
last year and by November
u Andrea knew he was
trouble. He asked for and re
ceived an 11-day extension of
the contract, but before long
ne knew that he wasn t going
to be able to make delivery
by Aug. 8, 1963. It was sim
ply too cold to work.
D'Andrea wasn't very
happy at the prospect of los
ing all his profit-and more
on the $400,000 contract.
D'Andrea and his job su
perintendent, William Thorn
ton, studied the situation.
D'Andrea remembered he
had used plastic (polyethyl
ene) in curing of cement and
had seen it used to enclose
portions of buildings. .
He and Thornton decided
to make a huge polyethylene
bag and erect the dormito
ries inside them.
Erected Scaffolding
They put up all the scaf
fold they would need and ex
tended it six feet higher than
the three- story buildings.
They roofed it over with tem-
Aren't there people, with
quite healthy bodies, who
seem unable to "receive" the
spiritual dimension of life?
"I'm not sure about that.
I'm inrlinpH fn fppl that anv.
one who has not cultivated
his spiritual capacities is just
as deformed as if he had lost
an arm or a leg."

porary trusses and then
draped the whole thing with
six-mil polyethylene about
150,000 square feet of it.
The tent cost him $6,000,
most of it for labor.
But with the addition of a
few space heaters, D'Andrea
was able to maintain a tem
perature of 40 to 50 degrees
inside while outside tempera
ture ranged as low as 15 de
grees below zero.
From that point on 'D'An
drea lost no time except for
a couple of days when they
couldn't pour concrete be
cause water froze in the tanks
of the transit cement mixers.
Ahead of Schedule
D'Andrea turned over the
two dormitories to Keystone
Junior college six weeks
ahead of schedule.
Other contractors laughed
at the -whole plan, saying it
would all blow away in the
first breeze.
But, D'Andrea said, his
tents withstood 40 mile an
hour winds and only a small
amount was lost during one
60 mile an hour blow.
Household Gloves
Now More in Use ....
New York-OJPD-One out of
five American women use
household gloves, compared
with one out of nin . in 1958,
according to a survey.
Cloves are being used more
extensively around the home
for not only such chores as
dishwashing and gardening
but also for light tasks that
require nimble fingers hair
tinting or permanent waving,
silver and shoe polishing or
even squeezing the morning
orange juice.
STEEL CROSSTIES
Johnstown, Pa. - IUPD - Steel
rails will ride on steel cross
ties in a new railway in Pakistan.
D'Andrea said he will use
the plastic tents whenever j
needed in the future. They
will allow him to give his em
ployees work 12 months in (
the year, he said, and keep
his profits coming in all
year 'round, as well as in
creasing efficiency by an
estimated 20 to 30 per cent.
The dormitories will each
house 50 students at the Bap
tist school, which has -an en
rollment of 340 students.
