big. distillers pour out more and
more whiskey, despite the fact th<l
the nation's industrial alcohol re-
serve remains dangerously low.
Industrial alcohol was one of the
most strategic materials of the late
war, being used in produ^ipg syn-
thetic rubber, chemicals, insec.i-
cidas, TNT and munitions. In fact,
industrial alcohol was considered so
essential that more than 200 million
gallons were stockpiled in the year
1943 alone.
Today, however, only about 21
million gallons of i'r'nstrial alcohol
are stockpiled—enough to last 10
short days if war should break.

“The earth is the steppm ,
Btone to the kingdom of
heaven.’
There we have a biblical
phrase which F concerned
With the evolutionary growth
Jf man. Is man a descendant
..rom above ? The earth in-
deed must te the foundation.
Certainly man is not a dege-
nerate descending from the
highest to the lowest. Is it
not logical to reason that
.nan is of earthly origin as-
cending upward from tne
lowest to the highest.
* A child of the wilderness
born of the humble sod,
Escorted by evolution to
’the very heights of Al-
mighty God.
Born nude and defenseless,
yjSMnan survived,
Do tell dissolute man then
if you can who was his
guide?
A child relies on parent
hood for survival, and sc;
maa also relies on God.
There is quite a difference
between man-made law and
law which is evolving man
Evolution may be known as
the law of modified growth
It is supreme, permanent, un-
changeable. Yet it rules by
continuous change, while the
law of man is temporary, e
ver changing to comply wit1
the unchangeable.
Man did not reveal the
theory of evolution which is
revealing the theory of man
by transmission from the
lower to the higher. It is not
concerned with the ape of
the jungle, the past nor the
future. It is wholly concern-
ed with the evohnent of spi-
I ritual man. There is no past
nor future in the realm 4f
time. The past is the source
and the so called future on-
ly the modifier of the ever
present, the eternal now.
Ever forever through con-
tinuous change life is pass-
ing through three evolution-
ary stages: physical, men-
tal and spiritual. And the
trend is ever upward from
the lower to the higher. It
must pass through the phy-
sical and mental stages of
evolvement to reach the spi-
ritual. In other words, it
must pass the lower grades
to the higher.
The infant child is not
self-consefous. It knows nei-
ther self nor parent. Yet no-
thing remains a mystery.
Growth reveals all.
the child learns the mystery.
So also man learns.
God is in all creation. And
it is through- creation that
the Creator communes with
man. The mighty oak is the
acorn. The beauty and frag-
rance of the rose is sealed in
the tiny seed. The low serv-
es higher and this in turn
serves the highest, while the
highest serves all.

WITH THE! WAR SCARE such as
it is, one altimportant, obvious ques-
tion is whether the United States
should get the draw on Russia and
drop the A-bomb first. Thia ques-
tion has bean- discussed at Kay West
and at other military conferences,
but the decision seems to have been
“no.
In feet, at Key Wait, Admiral
Leahy, the President's chief of staff,
even made a passionate plea that
the atomic bomb not be. Used in
such a way as to harm innocent
women and children in enemy terri-
tory.
However, it was decided that the
United States will lean over back-
ward to make sure no war initia-
■ tive, no overt act. no premature
dropping of the A-bomb takes place.
At present, the United States has
a more than ample supply of A-
, bombs, plus the capacity to make
more at assembly-line speed. Fur-
thermore, the new, A-bomb is about
1,000 times more powerful than the
bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
But they will not be used against
• any enemy in any surprise move.
To do se would be against the
Christian concepts of humanity,
also against the century-and-a-
ha'J tradiUna of tlie United States
that we never have attacked an-
other nation.
Furthermore, for the United
States to. get the jump on the enemy
by dropping the A-bomb would mean
such revulsion of world feeling that
we would lose our present moral
position in Europe.
The history of every war is that
when people consider themselves
wronged, they bide their tln\eand
build up their resources until they
can come back at their conqueror.
Another important point considered
by U. S. defense chiefs is the fact
that the Russians now have ob-
tained all the secrets of German
submarines and undoubtedly will
use them to release rockets at ma-
jor U. S. cities.
As a result, Russian subs today
CjUld cause close ta American
cltl.’s with V-2 sockets aboard, to
ta launched ajo-inst U. S. cities
from submarine decks.
These gruesome prospects are
some of the things U. S. strategists
necessarily must consider. They
feel there is no ure shutting our
eyes to them, in fact, that if we
prepare to meet them, tlie prospects
of war with Russia will be lessened.

In fact, not even the Communists practice what these
so called democrats defend as “state rights”. Nowhere do during these meetings that
the Reds tax people as voters, or deny their equality be- it was American troops who

But one thing these state rightists have in common I 5943 At that time, I saw li-

Czechoslovaks, some of
whom are today either ex-

in detention because of their

To me there came back a
conversation in Dachau last
summer. A friend asked our
German chauffeur, how could
folks with so beautiful a
country do such things. His
reply was simply, “They’re
doing the same things in the
Russian Zone today.”
This time the chief issues are. the so called “state j

Anti-Communist Bill
—The Houston Chronicle— u
Congress will soon have the opportunity of adjusting
tlite mc^ngruous situation under which billions upon billions
of dollars have been voted to fight communism everywhere
save in the United States.
The house un-American activities committee reported
out a bill which not only would bring American Communists
out in the open, but would make it unhealthy for them to
operate under Moscow direction and control.
The measure would, if enacted into law, hurt the Com-
munist movement in the United Slates. That is apparent
from thte cries of defiance which American Communist lead-
ers have already raised. They will not, they say, submit to
such indigmty as registering their membership. Their free-
doms, they contend, are being violated.

that the measure drawn by the house committee was the bean
handiwork ofSonly what the followers of Moscow would call * *"* *” ’* “
"reactionary Tories.”
The committee acted upon the advice of such men as A.
A. Berle and Dionald Richberg, who made their reputations
as devoted New, Dealers.
What it is seeking to accomplish is less than has been
recommended by( Harold E. Stassen, who classifies as a li-
Lberal in the Republican party by his own designation and
Ithat of his enemies.
The proposed anti-Communist law has as its heart a sec-
tion that would make it unlawful to:

Attempt in any manner to set up a foreign controlled
totalitarian dictatorship in the United States or take part
in a movement to create such a dictatorship.
How any conscientious and patriotic American can ob-

Head Key Materials
PRESIDENT TRUMAN HAS RE-
CEIVED a blunt warning from Wil-
liam M. Alien, president of Booing
Aircraft eoranany, that the govern-
ment must reinstitute allocations of
key materials, such as aluminum, if
the U. S. is to build airplanes tor
future emergencies.
Allen, who was accompanied to
the While House by Sen. Warren
Magnuson of Washmglotr, told Mr.
Truman that his company now is
producing a super successor to the
B 29. known as the B-SO, at the rate
of seven planes a month. The new
planes can outstrip both the 3.200-
mile range of the B 29 and its 350-
mile-an hour speed. Boeing also is
testing a new jet bomber of revolu-
tionary speed and range.
But Allen told the president:
“We can't begin turning out
these new planes In any quantity
unless there are slieeatiomi of. the
materials needed ta produce them,
aa we can plan our production
schedules at least six months
ahead. We can gear up our pre-
dunt.on ef D-U’s rig_t naw la 4g a
month, tut net w.lhoul material
aWocatitris.”
uatary rattening by adding to the
already groaning supplies of whis-
key in warehouses, the army and
navy munitions board is doing
absolutely nothing about stockpil-
ing industrial alcohol for defense.
Real fact is that we face a worse
industrial alcohol shortage, in event
of an emergency, than before the
war—because at that time we had
a big grain surplus. Now we have
virtually no grain surplus, with for-
eign aid taking about all We can
spare,
