Washington, Oct. 24—As the No

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.

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.

SIX-INCH SERMON
By Rev. Robert H. 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
