THE NEWBEKRY SUN, iNEYYBKKKl, S. C. *lUeJl04M R&p&deJi in WASHINGTON By Walter Shead WNU Correspondent WNU Washington Bureau 1616 Eye St.. N. W, ‘Co-Operation' ol Truman, Republicans Can't Last PRESIDENT Harry S. Truman 1 has offered the olive branch of co-operation and Chairman Reese of the Republican national committee has accepted and proffered his own co-operation on behalf of the Repub lican leadership in the 80th con gress. These gestures are intended to imply that they will seek to pre vent an impasse between the Re publican congress and the Demo cratic executive during the next two years. There are a few here in Wash ington who believe that such a state of Utopia can be reached, particu larly with reference to the bi-par tisan agreement on our foreign pol icy. The majority of those closely associated with government in both political parties, however, put their finger on the wording of the two leaders as just gestures, and insist that in cold practical politics too much is at stake for anything of that kind to happen. Human nature being what it is, there is a question even as to wheth er or not the Republican leadership itself can be brought into harmoni ous agreement with the 1948 presi dential nomination within the pos sible grasp of one of the top five GOP leaders. In the senate itself, there are both Senators Taft and Bricker of Ohio, who have been stepping aside for each other in their bid for the presi dential nomination during the last two GOP national conventions. There will be no such Alphonse and Gaston act for the two senators from the Buckeye state this time, each out to make a record for himself. Then there is Senator Van- denburg of Michigan, champion of the bi-partisan foreign policy and titular leader of the party in the senate, who is out for the nomina tion himself. Dewey, Stassen Hopeful Too, there is Governor Dewey of New York, who emerges from the GOP landslide again as the No. 1 man in the Republican party be cause of his smashing victory in New York state. Governor Dewey most certainly wants that nomina tion and will not let Messrs. Van- denburg, Taft and Bricker fill the spotlig’t without a part for himself in the picture. And then there is former Governor Stassen of Minne sota, leader of the liberal GOP ele ment, who apparently has been forced into a tail position by the ultra-conservative trend of the elec tion. But he is forceful and will get in some good licks for himself against his more conservative col leagues in his own party, to say nothing of Gov. Earl Warren of Cal ifornia. Change in Foreign Policy Close observ'ers here declare that even our foreign policy is in jeopardy from the split leadership in govern ment . . . that the traditional high tariff stand of the Republican party threatens the reciprocal trade agreements and the low tariff poli cies of the state department, which directly affect our foreign policy, and that the GOP leadership most certainly will turn thumbs down to any more foreign loans out of the treasury, which also may have a bearing upon dealing with foreign nations, particularly our erstwhile allies. Russia wants a loan; so does Italy, which became a co-belliger ent after she was knocked out of the war. The Republican leaders will shunt these applications for loans onto the Export-Import bank and monetary fund set up under the terms of the Bretton Woods agreement. Congressmen Harold Knutson and Joe Martin are both predicting a 20 per cent cut in individual income taxes next year. But the three largest expenses of the government now are the army and navy, vet erans and interest on the national debt. Most certainly they will pro vide for veterans and the national debt, so that leaves the military for the big cut. General Eisenhower already is said to be considering resignation because of cuts in ap propriations and lack of clear fis cal policy. And those who pretend to know declare that already ap propriations for our military force have been cut to the danger mark. Already the exodus has started here in the slash of governmental agencies in the OPA and CPA. Veto Will Be Sustained With the veto his only weapon, the President may use it sparingly, but a count of noses indicates that he likely will have sufficient sup port in both houses despite the GOP majority to sustain his veto. Mr. Truman probably can count on 169 house votes, where it takes 146 to sustain a veto. In the senate the President can consistently count on 34 Democratic votes and 2 Repub lican votes, making 36, or 3 more than the 33 necessary to sustain a veto. Woman's World Avoid Last Minute Shopping; Sew Simple Gifts at Home £rrta O NE charming neighbor of ours always says, “Isn’t it funny how you think your Christmas list is complete and you find at the last minute you’ve neglected someone. I’ve never seen it to fail.” I think most of us have that ex perience nearly every year, and then we’re in a dither trying to do last minute shopping when every thing is picked over completely, and there just isn’t enough time to select a proper gift. There’s a solution, however, which you’ll find a lot easier to follow than trying to shop. Spend the time at home and see what you can make out of your sewing basket. There are lots of things that can be made out of bits of gay cloth or a ball of yarn which are welcome fill-in gifts. I don’t suppose any woman ever had enough pot holders, because they do get their share of wear, scorching, etc. You can really make attractive pot lifters by using odd bits of colorful material, or even oilcloth. Any neighbor or friend will be happy to receive a fresh pair of them among her gifts. Another friend of mine who likes children always has plenty of things on hand to give the youngsters when they bring her cookies or do errands for her. She makes a hobby out of yarn dolls which are the most at tractive things you’ve ever seen. Quick to make, too, they’re ideal for the last minute gift. String and Stocking Dolls Use Odd Scraps of Material To make string dolls, gather all the bits of odd string you can find. Wind the string, both coarse and thin pieces together, around a small piece of cardboard which has been cut two or three inches long. Tie at the top and cut at the bottom. Divide the thicknesses for arms, legs and body. Tie at the neck and waist, clip arms the proper length and tie. Then tie off feet for boy dolls. Color them by simmering in dye. Make some red, some green and perhaps others yellow. If you want to make a glamor doll, use the sequins from an old IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.

PHILEMON: A LETTER ON CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD LESSON TEXT—Philemon 4-20. MEMORY SELECTION—Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is. there is liberty.—II Corinthians 3:17. A neat one-piece wool checked dress is presented by New York de signers in the moderate price field. In red and black, it is well mold ed at waist and sides. Seto instead of shopping . . , dress as trimming, adding glitter here and there, on hands, toes, face and body. To make a stocking doll, select a man’s sock or some of the short . socks your son or daughter have used. Clip off the toe part, and use the material to make fat little arms for the doll. The rest of the foot should be cut in two and stitched to make the legs. Stuff with cotton bat ting, shape the head with stitching and embroider eyes, nose and mouth. If you want to dye the sock in a I brilliant color, do this before making the doll. Scarlet is a good color to use for a doll of this type. Simmer- oughly before attempting to shape them into dolls or other orna ments. If you are making a dancing doll, use one p ; pe cleaner for the head and body, another for the arms, still another for the dancing legs and a fourth for her skirt. A boy dancer will take two more for the legs and trousers, a part of one pipe cleaner for the feet, and a part of another for scarf and sash. Any combina tion of colors may be used. Charming pictures can be made from cloth, and they’re a nice addi tion for a youngster’s room. You can use as your guide a page from a child’s book. Use thin cotton ma terial in any desired color, dyed, if necessary, and cut patterns on cloth from the picture you are using for a model. Mount these on another piace of cloth and use a simple wood frame. Discarded terry cloth bath towels are excellent material for making teddy bears that young fry like to carry with them. There are patterns available for making the bears, or you can make one of your own if you’re good at drawing. It’s a good idea to dye the towel if it’s white and you may use brown or pastels. Be sure to decorate the teddy bear with a red ribbon tongue, button eyes and red ribbon bow tie. For almost forgotten gifts. ing in the dye bath for 8 to 9 min utes will do the trick. The sock should then be rinsed in cold water and allowed to dry thorougnly. Lapel Pins, Pictures, Teddy Bears Nice, Too. White pipe cleaners are inexpen sive, and they can be used to make clever lapel ornaments for teen-age girls. Simply dye the pipe cleaners to a desired shade and let dry thor- Quickae Gift Ideas Rayon and cotton towelings make nice tray or luncheon sets. Cut doilies 12 inches by 18 inches and finish off by raveling the edges to make a fringe. The nap kins can be made 12 inches by 12 inches and may also be rav eled. A set of four, six or eight of these will make an especially nice gift for a busy homemaker. Here’s a tip for making some things of odd boxes. Use them for lingerie cases, handkerchief or hose containers. Cover them with cloth or wallpaper, and use a contrasting color or print for lining. You haven’t time to knit mit tens? Well then, make them from old sweaters. Cut a pat tern slightly larger than hand size and nachine stitch around the pattern to outline the mitten pieces and prevent ravelling. Use a whipstitch or buttonhole stitch in contrasting colored yarn for finishing the mitten. Another idea for mittens is to make them out of an old suede jacket and then sew bits of fur around the cuffs, or use fur for lining. Decorative head bands are nice for teen-agers and don’t take long to make. Use embroidered felt in bright warm colors, sequins on a wire frame, or fur or feathers. Bustle interest is still in fashion, but the effects are rather softened with muted drapery, soft bows or shirring. Look for tailored jackets to go with your daytime and evening fash ions. Not only are they practical to have in cooler weather, but they add a note of completeness to your dress. Tyrolean influence is being felt in some of the young girl’s casual hats. They are made of felt and have one of those quaint feathers at the back. Mothers used to like to get rid of their maternity clothing as soon as baby arrived, but it’s not so with the new clothes now ready for her. She can keep on wearing them. Christian brotherhood! That may i not sound like a dynamic influence destined to change the world, but that is just what it has done. We study today a letter written aoout a slave boy at a time when slavery was accepted as right, but it stated principles of Christian con sideration and brotherly love which were eventually to overthrow slav ery. It is still at work today when and where we let it! This letter, written by Paul and yet by the Holy Spirit, personal and yet eternal and spiritual in its ap- | plication, is a model of letter writ ing, and equally a model of Chris tian brotherhood. It concerns one Onesimus. a slave who had desert ed his master and probably defraud ed him (v. 18). He had been con verted and now was being sent back to his master. I. “I Might Be Bold—Yet I Rath er Beseech Thee” (vv. 4-9). After a fine spiritual salutation (vv. 1-3), Paul enters upon an ap peal to Philemon which is a model of tact and courtesy. First he lets Philemon know of his prayerful interest in him. Paul had been praying for him, that’s why he could say such a helpful word. Then he recognizes Philemon’s goodness and his effective testimony for Christ. This was an excellent approach to the making of a re quest, and be sure that it was not ! empty or hypocritical flattery. We : do well to recognize the fine quali ties of our Christian brother, and we could profitably speak of them more than we do. Then Paul was ready to make his request. See how nicely he does it. He skillfully reminds Philemon that he (Paul) might make some de mands, and especially in view of his age and his imprisonment. But he will not do so; rathei he says, “I beseech thee.” II. “Without Thy Mind I Would Do Nothing” (vv. 10-16). Paul, the aged prisoner, had found in his new convert, Onesimus, a real helper. He would have liked to keep him. In fact, says he to Phile mon, Onesimus could do for me the things you would want to do if you were here (v. 13). Paul could have felt sure of the willingness of Philemon. He could have assumed that the request would be granted. And in any case, Philemon did not even know where Onesimus was, so why not keep him? He did not reason thus. True Christian consideration re spects the personal rights and the property rights of another. We must not assume, or demand, or put pressure on anyone (v. 14) to get what they have or to draw out their service. I Another expression of considera tion is found in verses 15 and 16. Philemon had lost a heathen slave, now he is receiving back a Chris tian brother. No worker will give less in service, and no master will demand more, because both are Christians. Now Paul touches on one of the finest elements involved in Christian brotherhood, namely, co-operation. W T e are to live and labor together for a common cause. Pleading for | his friend and brother, the young slave Onesimus, he says: III. “If Thou Count Me a Partner, Receive Him” (vv. 17-21). Partners share the benefits and the burdens of their joint enter prise. Partners in the gospel, like Paul and Philemon, shared not only spiritual blessings, but also the re sponsibilities. Paul was presenting such an item to Philemon in the re turn of Onesimus. Something had to be done about the- debt of Onesi mus, his failure as a servant. Paul says, “Charge it to me, your part ner.” It has been pointed out that there fs here a blessed fexample of the important doctrine of imputation, which is the “act of God whereby fie accounts righteousness to the believer in Christ,” because he “has borne the believer’s sins in vindi cation of the law.” So we note that verses 1 17 and 18 perfectly illustrate imputation. Paul’s promise, “I will repay it” (v. 19), was the legal phraseology of a promissory note in his day. It was a bonafide partisanship trans action, yet it was coupled with a re minder of indebtedness. Everything Philemon had and was he owed to Paul; but, says the latter, “I will not speak of that now.” No right-thinking person is con tent always to be on the receiving end. The humblest recipient of fa vor or the smallest child who feels the love of another wants to respond. The considerate friend will, there fore, not always insist on giving, but will graciously (like Paul) open the way for co-operation, for partner ship.
