Washington, Oct. 24—As the No vember election draws near and United Nations successes in Korea removes the issue of early reverses, Republicans are shying away from! the Korean war a a campaign issue,! while Democrats are taking up the! cudgel and attempting to make the, war there a refutation of earlier Re publican charges of unpreparedness. Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois, taking up the earlier GOP charges of mili tary unpreparedness, charged that our military successes were definite! proof that the department of defense j was not nearly so unprepared as Re publican orators would have us be lieve, and Sen. Herbert Lehman of New York, following through, de clared the GOP attacks on foreign policy an the Korean situation fit in “with Moscow’s plan.” Chairman Owen , Brewster of Maine, of the GOP senate campaign committee, switched from Korean war charges and said that “confus ion, corruption and communism” are now the fundamental issues, and Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, campaign ing for his political life in Ohio, also switched from his attacks on the ad ministration “blunders” in Korea to a denunciation of the Brannam farm plan. In the meantime, it appeared that as soon as congress reconvenes on November 27 the house and senate armed services committees will out line additional money and manpow er needs. They said that inflation is hiking the tost of the rearmament program already underway and out lined plans for building up each branch of the services to maintain at least three million men under arms for some time to come. And General Lewis B. Hershey, head of the draft, called for a reduction of draft stand ards, longer service, induction of vet erans and a tougher policy on depend ency and ther deferments. There was every indication that moderation or repeal of the McCar- ran Communist control law will be sought when the congress reconvenes. Ten Democratic senators who back ed President Truman’s unsuccessful veto, have signed an appeal in which they said the law would endanger individual freedom and would not safeguard the national security. The dO are Senators Douglas, Illinois; Lehman, New York; Kilgore, West Virginia; Kefauver, Tennessee; Mur ray, Montana; Humphrey, Minneso ta; Graham, North Carolina; Green, Rhode Island; Chavez, New Mexico and Leahy, Rhode Island. Unbiased observers here put the latest bid of Harold Stassen, Pres ident of the University of Pennsyl vania, for an interview with Joseph Stalin down as a form of “publicity propaganda.” There is some question as to whether Stassen has violated af federal statute which prohibits indi viduals from taking such action which is clearly within the province of the federal government. GOP leaders are disclaiming any responsibility for Stassen’s action. Wesley Powell, executive assistant to Sen. Styles Bridges, New Hamp shire, has been ruled off the ballot as an independent opponent of Sen. Charles W. Tobey in the November election. Powell came within 1,300 votes of unseating Senator Tobey in the primary and had announced he would seek election as an independ ent. Also of interest politically is the Pennsylvania election wherein the liberal James Henderson Duff, Pen nsylvania governor, and victor over the Grundy political machine in that state, is the GOP senatorial nominee against Senator Francis J. Myers, Democrat. On the face of it, it would appear that the redoubtable Duff would be an easy winner over Senator Myers. However, the polit ical dopesters declare that the bit terness between the Duff and Grun- dy-Pew factions of the Pennsylvania Republicans is so deep that the Grun dy machine may throw its strength to Senator Myers rather than see Duff come Off the winner. With limits on cotton growing lift ed, it appears that this commodity will be the first to be brought under government controls under the new war powers act. handle “aright the word of truth.” And Paul’s own dependence upon the scriptures is indicated in his request that Timothy bring him the books, “especially the parchments.” These parchments were doubtless those of the Old Testament and one or more of the Gospels which had been re cently written. N Our lesson is designed to show that spiritual growth comes through read ing and meditation upon great books. Textile Plant Declared Ready Charlotte, N.

Harper GROWING THROUGH READING AND MEDITATION Lesson for October 29: Acts 17: 10- 12; Philippians 4: 8-9; I Timothy 4: 12-16; tl Timothy 2: 15; 4:13. Memory Selection: Philippians 4:8. The people of Beroea, in the syna gogue there, heard Paul and Silas “with all readiness of mind,” and they examined “the scriptures daily, whether these things were so.” “The scriptures” were those of the Old Testament. And “Greek women of honorable estate and of men, not a few” believed. The memory selection is a. beauti ful verse. It shows the power of thought to attain unto Christian graces and virtues. Men tend to be come like that on which they con stantly look. As Ernest looked through a lifetime upon the Great Stone Face, he bore its image by and by. Christians who meditate upon good things will attain unto them in time. And they who look ever to Christ will become like him. Paul wrote Timothy to study the scriptures that he might be able to /MAGmf w OUST S MMUTES 7TME WE SAVEO HOOP/ % H ■ ' i say Mr. and Mrs. Franklin J.
