Thou shalt not make unto thee ny graven Image, or any likeness of sny thing thst U In hesven above, or that U In the earth beneath, or that Is In the eter under the earth. Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor err them: for I the Lord thy Ood am a Jealous Ood. visiting the Iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me: And shewing mercy unto thousands of them thst )ove Me, and keep My commandments. Thou Shalt not take the name of the Lord thy Ood in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guilt lass that taketh His name In vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep It holy. Six days shslt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day Is the Ssbbath of the Lord thy Ood: In It thou shalt not do any work. thou.

By DEB ADDISON THERE has been quite a little to-do at city council meetings following the report of the audit of the city books. Out of it you get that an audit has extra minor dividends through . . - shntrincr un error In nmredure. ne that has been thoroughly fl i - - aired hss to do with the recrea- I, . v f Mon program. At urursje out mat uiv poucw Judge's office Is charged, by the charter, with handling all city funds. As a matter of expedi ence, we guess, this procedure hss not been followed, as tha recreation director has dona this part of the Job too, and the audit shows that accounts are some what askew. You cant expect to find a good recreation man and a good ac countant m one individual. That's probably why N was set up In the first place that an funds be accounted for by the police Judge's office. Following the procedure of handling the ac counting there, undoubtedly will keep things clear Id the future. Mentioning that the recreation director doesn't Mosasarlly have to be a aosountant brings to mind that he practically does have to be a Jack of all trades. A person driving by Conger school field last fall would have seen Sam Smith at the business end of a large, bulldoxer leveling land like mad. Let's say yon cant expect to find a recreation leader, eat skinner and accountant all m the same Individual. MILT SESSLER called to suggest thst comment would be In order again, pointing out the hasards of auto driving when school children are on their way to or from school. Milt drives Summers lane each morning to depoalt a couple of youngsters at Alternant, This Is another street without sidewalks for the kids. He has eeen two children hit by cars In recent mornings. Lets not shrug off our responsibilities on recrea tion directors, school officials and others. Certainly It la each parent's responsibility to con tinually coach the youngsters on the hasards of traveling on streets and darting across lines ct traffic And certainly It Is each driver's responsi bility to use super-duper caution when driving In areas where children are about. Thanks for reminding us to remind everybody. Mill. V r-j ADDISON World Today By DF.WITT MacKENZIE MY office window in Rockefeller Center looks out on the greet Christmas tree, covered with myriad lights and topped by the glowing star of Bethlehem. Each time my eyes wander from their work they encounter this emblem of peace and goodwill. Msybe thst's why. as I look out my window while mulling over the unhappy squabble about the In tematlonallsatlon of Jerusalem. It's difficult to es cape the feeling that this untimely problem Is sus ceptible of solution by compromise. Palling that we are heading for an uncomfortable time, since what happens to this Holy City Is a matter of concern to the whole civilised world. THE position Is this: The United Nations assembly a few days ago voted to Internationalise Jeru salem. A minority. Including America and Britain, opposed the plan as impractical, since the city is partitioned and occupied by armed forces of Israel and of Hashemlta Jordan. Jordan and Israel officially are still at war a hangover from the Arab-Jewish warfare of 1M7-48. Both have served firm notice thst they wont give up their respective parts of the city, and Just now Israel Is rushing the transfer of her capital to her portion of Jerusalem. Of Israel's action the British foreign office has said: The move of the Israeli government does not sur prise his majesty's government. At the same time we regret that Israel, which Is a member of the U. N.. should have thought fit to flout Its authority." AT Lake Success some D. N. diplomats predict that Israel's action will wreck the general as sembly plan to put the city under International rule. In any event, the partition of Jerusalem Into two parts, one Jewish and the other Arab. Is an accom plished tact And it's going to take more than words be they spoken either In peace or in anger to alter that situation. All other things apart, both Jews and Arabs occupy their respective portions "by the right of conquest' an outgrowth of the late war. Most of the holy places of the city are In the more ancient portion held by the Arabs. In th's xone Is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Mosque of Omar and the Jewish Wailing WalL Nearby are the Garden of Oethsemane and the Mount of Olives. The Arabs also hold Bethlehem to the south. Israel holds the Holy Censcle site of the Last Supper which is Just outside the old walled city. Israel also has Nazareth to the north of Jerusalem, and Cana of Oallllee, where Christ performed His first miracle. THE way things now stand the trusteeship council of the TJ. N. will go ahead with the drafting of an tntemationalizatlon plan. What fate this msy encounter remains to be seen. On this point a message from Tel Aviv to Lake Success quoted Israeli Premier David Ben-Ourion as saying: It la to be hoped that the general assembly will In the course of time correct this mistake which lu majority has made, and will make no attempt what soever to Impose a regime on the Holy City against the will of Its people." Later Ben-Ourlon declare In Jerusalem: "We have entered upon the greatest political struggle m the history of our people." INTERNATIONALIZATION would be calculated to protect the holy places and keep them open to pil grims from the outside world. Both Israel and Jor dan have promised protection and access, and If the U. N. does change lu mind It presumably will be on the basis of these promises. Observers find It difficult to figure out any solu tion of the problem except a compromise. The con sensus Is tht any idea of the TJ. N. using strong-arm methods to achieve Its object is unthinkable Notion Today Filibuster Looms for 1950 Congress in FEPC Campaign By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, Dec. IS OP) When congress returns In 1950 yon can expect a repetition of what hap pened this year: a filibuster. The Truman administration Is going to try for an early vote on the bill to set up an FEPC (fair employment practices commission). The result? Pretty surely sero. The FEPC bill would forbid an employer to discriminate against a Job-seeker because of his race, color or religious belle! It's part of President Truman's civil rights program. Other parte of It call for federal laws to outlaw lynching and the poll tax. Slim Chance And the result If the Trumanites try to put through those other parts of the program? Pretty surely sero, too. Truman took a strong stand on the civil rights program In the IMS elections In which he wss elected president and the democrats won control of congress. But the Trumanite democrats lost control of congress when, shortly after congress opened this year, they tried to clear the way for bringing up a civil rights bill and thus fulfill Truman's campaign pledges. At that point the Southern demo crats, deeply embittered by the civil rights program, split off from the Truman democrats and filibuster ed. They did It to successfully that they prevented any civil rights bill from being considered In the senate In mil. What happened as a result of that filibuster will have an Important effect on what happens In 1950. Limit Before the filibuster started, this was the situation In the senate: There was no limit on debate or Husbands! Wives! Want new Pep and Vim? roti. im. sur i ; 4Jm mtmlm ft alia. drug at torse everrwmare t, Klamath WtuareanS and Far-Lmm Drug. a filibuster unless two-thirds of the senators on the floor voted to stop It. And. of course, unless a filibuster could be stopped the senate could not reach a point of voting on the measure which was being filibust ered.) But under the arrangement then in effect If only SO or SO or 70 senators were present on the floor, two-thirds of them could stop the filibuster. But, before the 194S fili buster was over, this happened: The senate, with republicans Joining the Southern democrats, made this rule for the future: Now a filibuster can't be stopped unless two-thirds of the total 96 senators vote to stop It, whether or not all SS are present on the floor. That's tougher to get than Just two thirds, of those merely present at any voting time. Thst's what the Trumanites face In 1950 if they try to bring up the FEPC bill and a filibuster starts. Strong Opposition Some senators are so set against sny limit on senate debate that they might vote against stopping a fili buster even though they might be willing to vote for FEPC once the filibuster was over. If the Trumanites lose on the civil rights Issue during the con gressional session In ISM, they can use It as a camoalm Issue in the congressional elections later in 1950 to get more Trumanites elected. Particularly among Negro voters. The seats of all 433 house mem bers and a little more than one third of the M senators are In volved in the 1950 elections. Senator Humphrey, Minnesota democrat and one of those most responsible for getting the civil FOLEY PILLS y Rfrv fr Backaches II Ami f I Sfezgish Kidneys r MVSU VOM MOMY BACK rights plank Into the democratic pany piauorm in 1948, says the FEPC is the -real ffUta" Of lh nrn. gram. The Southern democrats are, per. hsns. mora htt t , v. - mm bill than any other part of the Tru- civu ngnts program, it, an Invasion of individual and states' rights, they ssy. Why, then, should the Trumanites bring up the FEPC bill instead of say, the antl-lynching or anti-poll tax bill? At this moment no one of them seems to have any chance of getting through, anyway. But More support from more groups msy be thrown behind FEPC than behind a bill to outlaw lynching or the poll tax. Ten states already have FEPC laws. They are: New Mexico, Washington. Oregon, Massachusetts, New York, New Jer sey, Connecticut, Indiana, Wiscon sin, Rhode Island.

Boyle's Column Nothing in Santa's Bag Can Overcome this Gnsf By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK tPv-There Isn't a darn thing Banla Claus can throw my way this C.irtstmas. For all I caie the old boy can get stuck In a chimney in Drs Moines. I'm not bothering to hang up my sock, because there Isn't a thing In Saint Nick's bsg of tricks I can use. The one thing I'd like even Santa Claus can't give. I want him to make tune stand still and keep a girl I know from growing older and from going away. Wonderful The girl Is half past two. her name is Nina, and everything about her Is wholly wonderful. Even her nose runs In a nice wsy. I can brag about her with a clear conscience because she isn't mine, except to borow on an hour's lend lease arrangement with her parents two or three times a week. That is my privilege as godfsther. When first I saw her she was Just a moist, bald-headed ball of protoplasm that smelled to milk and made small noises like a puppy. She stubbornly refused to make baby talk and disdained the English lan guage altogether until she was ready to use complete sentences. One day the phone range and as her parents leaped to answer It she looked up from her plsy pen and said gravely: -IU get it. I U get It ." Genius It wss In this wsy we learned for sure that Nina was a genius. Until then we were Just going on blind faith. Now she is a flaxen-haired, sturdy-legged child with a mind and vocabulary of ber own. She Is a kind child, and the big sorrow of her life Is that Jack fell down and broke his crown while going up the hill with Jill to fetch a pall of water. Every night she wants to hear this nursery adventure again, and as soon as Jack falls down she tells her father: "You get doctor. Make him well." I am her standby storyteller. And all this year ss Nina has grown older I have been growing younger. And It has been a happy, happy year too good to go on, I guess. Loss The other wuck-end her father and mother. George and Helen Camp Palmer, a you ig newspaper couple. got an assignment to go to Italy. They will be gone for three years. Nina doesn't know Rome from Roch ester, but she has been told she is going to take a trip on a big boat. And she Is so excited that she Is beginning to lose Interest In Jack and JUL Whenever she sees a tug toot by on the Efcst river she says: "There's Nina's boat. Tell me about big boat." Recently, while her parents were shopping. I tok her on a farewell visit to th: Central park too. She said goodbye to the monkeys, wanted to climb in and pet the titers. jeered at the "lasy sesl" that wouldn't go into the water. But most of all she loved the plceons because they came and pecked peanuts from her hand. Then we bought a balloon and hailed a cab homb. On the way she turned to me with a luminous smile and said: "Hal. I sleepy." And she stretched out comfortably on the seat, put her feet in my lap. and dozed off. All the rest of the wsy I kept minting. "Lord. Lord, can't you lrt it stay this wsy for a long ttme?" There was so much I hsd to tell her all about Cinderella and the three bears and the little boy who put his finger in the dyke and saved Holland. But now somebody in Italy will tell her all these fine stories, and probably get them all mixed up in the telling. Three days alter Christmas she'll be gone, leaving me a godfather In absentia. When I see her again shell be almost six and greet me with a polite 'Buon Olorno" Instesd of "HI, Hal!" How can I believe In Santa Claus this year? Churches Business Mirror More Good News Reflected In Stock and Trade Reports By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK. Dec.

Stores tn New York report Protestant Work? UKEKNWICH. Conn.. Dec. IS iTI A conlerenre, alined at drafting a blueprint for a union of American ProiNlaiUlmi, Unlay explored this key question: What el Ire t would a consolidation of Protealant denomination have on the Individual church units? Delegates and observers came to rips with the problem yeterdsy as the three-day conclave opened on a note of mixed opinion, support for a unity plan tint would leave local unite bitart. Put Failures Some rpreed belief that pal rfforU at Protestant union had (ail ed because too much autonomy was left to Individual denominations. forty-five key flsures from 14 denominations, aa well as cotuult snts from the major Interrhurch councils, are taking part in the con ference, sponsored b y seven de nominations. The purpose Is to draw up a unity plan to submit to the various de nominations fur ratification. A tentative proposal, that would not upset local church units, was advanced last nleht by Dr. Charles Clayton Morrison of Chicago, edi tor of the Christian Century." One Idea He suggested that Protestant churches Join on nstlonal. regional and diocesan levels, with local churches remaining separate as they now are. The lndivdual churches will not need to merge, he said, "even If there are three or four on 'the ssme comer." Previously. Dr. Msrk A. Dewbcr. co-executive secretary of the Home Missions Council, 'said such a "co operative approach" was one of sev eral plans the conference would consider. This approach, he said. Is "to a (free upon oversll principles" but because of leiial entanglements of church organization "to leave the denominations Intact." Another Idea Another proposal, he said, calls for conversion of vartous denomina tions Into more "branches" of a simile, united church. The Idea, he said. Is known as the "federal union" plan. . It drew the disapproval of Dr. H. Paul Douglass of Montclalr. N. J, director of the commission on cooperative field research of the Federal Council of Churches. "I don't think that type of union would have any chance to succeed "he ssld. Both Dr. Morrison and Dr. Joseph A. Vance, minister emeritus of the First Presbyterian church of De troit, said there la a weakness In any plan 11 is I leaves too much au tonomy to separata rienonilnatlona. Bishop Ivan Lee Holt of St. l-ouls, chairman of the Council of BIhoie ol the Mclhoditt rhurrh. ssld the MrthtHllsl church "ouiht to lend all Its support to any movement that leads to a larsrr and stronger church In the world."

Seven other denominations, rep. resented by observers are: The Protestant Episcopal Church, of the Brethren, the Five Years Meeting of Friends (Uuskeri, the Aiigiistana Lutheran, the F angelical United Rrethren, Presoytrrlan rhurrh In the U. 8.

The report casts some light on other items In the news recently. the revirsl of order backlogs In some companies who hadnt known them for months: the rush of stores to re-order certain goods after shop pers hsd cleaned out the shelves: and. of course, the effect of the steel and coal strtkea. Manufacturers' stocks of goods on hsnd dropped during October, re fleeting both the slowdown In pro ductlon from the strikes, and the new demand for goods from retail ers. Retail Inventories of non-durable goods also dropped, perhaps show lng both the cut-back In production and the pick-up In consumer buy ing. Yule Note And a final Christmas note: Mink prices are higher at both the New York and Montreal auc tions. If you're In the mink bracket. Christmas may be even more ex pensive than ever. November sales up to five per cent better than last year. Copper deliveries In November are reported today as the highest since March. IMS. The price of tin turned stronger In Singapore yes terday and sent dealers Into the London futures market for active buying. Paperboard production is report ed running six per cent ahead of last year. The Industry Is con sidered an Industrial barometer be cause the demand for paperboard indicates a need for containers to ship goods. Plywood I'p Plywood prices have been rising In the Northwest. Homebuilding has spurred the demand for finished plywood. Wool cloth output has rebounded from the mid-summer slump, and weavers now predict that the total In the final three months of the year will be as great as In the same period last year.
