Washington.—For some strange reason,
Secretary of State Byrnes has become'
awfully jittery about having a senate com-[
mittee probe what’s going on in .Germany.!
He is putting all sorts of obstacles in the j
path of the old Truman committee’s investi-
gation of the reported breakdown of Ameri-
can morale in Germany and the secret
flirtation of some U. S. business firms with i
Nazi cartels.
Several members of the old Truman com-
mittal, now the Kilgore committee, flew up
to New York for a session with Jimmie,
Byrnes regarding this, but he remained ft
adamant. Behind him sat GOP leader

experience was concerned, our boys made

______..Every team that we faced this season said

well coached. The present coaching staff at
our school, first teaches our boys how to be
good citizens, how to play the game and to
giVe their best. We had rather see this
spirit instilled in the boys and let them lose
every game than to have a team which won
every game and yet were not good sports.
Football is good for our boys when the
right principles are applied and certainly
we know they were this year. Our congratu-
lations to the school officials, the coaching
■ 'staff and every member of the Ennis teams.
We are proud of you,
Secretary Byrnes countered by suggesting
that Lieut. Gen. Lucius Clay and other of-
ficials in Germany could come to the United
States and be examined by the committee.

PETER’S FIRST GOSPEL SERMON
(Acts 2:14-41)
BARBS
On this Lord’s Day morning (the day of Pentecost) the old city
of Jerusalem was in a state of excitement and consternation, oc-
casioned by the miracle of the Holy Spirit descending upon the
apostles. Peter now stands up with the others to deliver his
memorable address—really the first gospel sermon ever to fall from
(he lios of man.
He explains the great miracle as a fulfillment of the prophecy
of Joel (v. 14-21) and declares that Jesus whom they had crucified
had been, by the Father, raised from the dead. Nothing impressed
the Jews more than their mteh revered prophecies. Peter now quotes
at length from the Psalm of David to prove that Jesus was the ful-
fillment of this prophecy, as the King upon David’s’ throne. He
concludes his wonderul discourse with these words (verses 36-38) :
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath
made that same Jesus, whom yc have crucified, both Lord and Christ...
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, a«d
said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be b&p-
ized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
Vf sin, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Verse forty-one says: “Then they that gladly received his word
were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about
three thousand souls.”. Then follows the account of the first days
of the church in Jeri salem, the chapter concluding with “and the
Lord added to the church daily such as should bei saved.”
Here and now is opened before our eyes the Christian age. We
have heard the first gospel sermon with its all-important facts and
premises; have heaixl the first believers stricken in heart, ask “what
must we do?”; have heard Peter’s instruction, “repent and be bap-
tized for the remission of your sins and ye shall receive the gift of
the Hoiy Spirit.” Three thousand penitent believei's were immed-
iately baptized into the name of Jesus Christ.
This procedure is in keeping with the great commission (Mark
16:15-13) was the teaching and practice of all the accounts we have
in the New Testament upon the subject of conversion. Any reason-
able person must surely agree that those requirements preached by
Peter were the conditions of salvation applicable to all men, and
throughout all time.
Our prayer and our plea is that all of us may brush aside the
man-made creeds, of ecclesiasticism, and prejudice, and may behold
again in this chapter the original and eternal teaching on the sub-
ject of Chi-istian conversion.
RAILROADS TO GET
MODERN PASSENGER CARS
Railroad passenger service all over the
United States is in for a wholesale rejuvena-
tion during the next six to nine months, as
the railroads receive delivery of 2,598 new
luxury passenger cars which they had on
order with the car builders on Nov. 1, so re-
ports Railway Age in its annual Pessenger
Progress Issue.
The passenger cars on order by principal
large railroads include the following: .
Southern Pacific—52 cars—These cars to
equip the new “Shasta Dalight” which will _
operate between San Francisco and Port-
land, and to provide the S. P. share of the
cars necessary to equip the “Golden State
Streamliner,” as well as adding new equip-
ment to the existing “Golden State Limited”
and the “Cascade.”
Texas & Facific—35 cars, including 19
sleeping cars.
Missouri-Pacific—-65 modern cars, includ-
ing 26 sleeping cars.
Missouri-Kansas-Texas—14 new cars, with
which to make a modern diesel-powered
streamliner out of the “Texas Special,”
which is operated jointly by this company
and the St. Louis-San Francisco.
so high we’ll have to start!

Byrnes, however, stuck by his guns. He
was absolutely opposed to a senate ' com-
mittee’s going to Germany. This caused
Senator Knowland to remark:
“I was not particularly interested in the
reported sexual aberatioris of American
troops in Germany or of black market porch-
climbing until I found you were so anxious
to keep us out. But since there have been
several carefully conducted tours of news-
papermen through Germany, I see no reason
why U. S. senators should not have the
same privilege.”
Knowland, whose family operate an Oak-
land, Calif., newspaper hinted that he did
not think his colleagues of the press had
been permitted to see anything in Germany,
except what the army wanted them to see.
Finally Brewster brought up one of the
most disturbing situations in Germany, the
rumor that Secretary of the Navy Forrestal’s
old banking firm, Dillon, Read, has had its
officials working in Germany to arrange tie-
ups with Nazi cartels. Before the war, links
between I. G. Farben and U. 3- companies
caused serious damage to American defense.

THE INDESTRUCTIBLE VETO
Two smaller members of the United Nations, Cuba and
Australia, have fulfilled their promise that they would
seek abolition of the Big Five’s veto. They were scolded and
slapped down for their pains.
America’s Senator Connolly was very kind about it. He
deplored the frequent, trivial use of the veto. But he
urged the veto’s retention for he sake of Big Five unity.
Russia’s Mr. Vishinsky seemed very angry. He charged
the little nations with a concerted, underhand plot to wipe
out Big Five harmony. He warned again that “nests of
fascism” remain in Europe, though the warning 'did not
seem particularly germane to the subject of the veto, or
of the request for its abolition by two decidedly non-
European countries.
But though the American and Russian speakers differ-
ed in their approach and argument, they agreed that in
union there was strength, and that there would be neither
strength nor union without the veto power.
This argument might seem more acceptable if there
v/ere any evidence of real unity among the Big Five (or
rather, between Russia and the Big Four), or any indica-
tion that the veto power is going to achieve that unity.
Perhaps it should be recalled that the Big Five veto is |
not an instrument of inspired logic, born of free and open '
debate. It was agreed to by Messrs. Roosevelt, Churchill |
and Stalin at their Yalta meeting, after the Dumbarton |
Oaks conversations had failed to settle the question of j
voting procedure. j
Thus we have the veto, object of muttered complaints j
for a year and a half and now, at last, of formal protest. It I
will not be abolished outright, but hopefully the Big Five
Hear The Gospel at the Church of Christ
i
will try to improve it. What can they do?
Two partial solutions come readily to mflid. They might
limit the use of the veto to extreme measures, such as im-
position of economic sanctions or armed intervention against
one of the Big Five. ’That undoubtedly would speed up the
Security Council’s functions, but it wouldn’t remedy ‘the
basic cause of complaint.
Or the Big Five might agree to revisg voting procedure
by apportioning votes to each UN member on the basis of
its population, and then decree that only simple or two-
thirds majorities be required to enact resolutions. This
would actually abolish the veto, but at the same time it
would give the great powers the commanding position they
deem necessary.
Neither of these actions, however, is at Nall likely. For
each would involve a Charter amendment. And the BU
Five have the power to veto any changes in the Charter.]

WfASHINGTON, D. C.— (NEA)—With OPA now practically dead,
■ ? it,should he safe to tell the inside story of how women’s two-
way-stretch girdles didn’t get rationed. Give OPA credit. Here was s
.chance to ration something, and they didn’t do it. This is the story:
As.every woman knows, there was a real war-
time shortage of girdles. Big war-production firms
employing many women workers put up quite ;
complaint that the war effort was really being im-
paii-ed because their feminine workers couldn’t gei
proper foundation garments which would enable
them to work more efficiently. The employers
wanted the government to do something about this
quick.
The question was referred to some of the big
brains in the War Production Board’s Office of Ci-
vilian Requirements. An expert was assigned tc
study the problem. He prepared a report and drew
up a program. It went through channels and finally
ended up on the desk of C. C. “Cliff” Hill, one of Don Nelson’s brighi
young men, w’ho forwarded it to OPA.

WHEN OPA got the works, it was a document an inch thick. It was
marked Secret, Restricted, Confidential, Do Not Read, and so on.
It finally came to the attention of Patterson H. French, one of the
“professors” high in OPA’s rationing division. French tossed it to
William A. Molster, one of his assistants, who had to read it.
It was not a directive, it said, but a request that OPA initiate a
program for the rationing of two-way-stretch girdles, due to the in-
creased demand and the shortage of necessary materials.
^ Molster suggested maybe they could kid WPB out of it. French
tnought that was an idea. So they sat down and composed a formal
red-tape reply on the subject of girdle rationing. French signed it
and marked it Confidential with three exclamation points.
It’s too long to give in full here, but these are the highlights:
“I am in a quandary as to your memorandum on the above subject.
It is of . course serious when girdles get tight, but I am confused by
the fact that girdles seem to be no shorter this year. It would not
describe the situation-fully to say that girdles are behind, but it might
be said they have reached relatively low points.
