Prison Gets Fan Letters From Ex-Convicts THE ENQUIRER AND NEWS Battle Creek, Jan. 27, 1947 Christian Science Tenets Explained Cunningham's Column Bill Writes Special Story; Air-Arm Measure Succumbs It Trained for Honest Jobs on The Outside Roosevelt Rest Haven To Be Children's Camp WASHINGTON (TP) Shangri-la, secret Maryland mountain hideout of the late President Roosevelt, is going to become a summer camp for crippled children. The national park service disclosed this, saying the Catoctin recreational demonstration area, within which the camp is located, has become a unit of the national capital parks. The camp, 65 miles north of Washington, will provide housing for 100 children, who will be chosen by the Maryland League -for Crippled Children, officials said. An adjacent camp, which housed a special marine guard when Shangri-la was used by the President for rest periods during the war years, will become available for public use next summer, they added.

I J5 in Washington. He was followed by a top figure from the British embassy in Washington. He had the honor, he said, to be permitted to quote directly from his majesty's government to the effect that the story was an utter figment, and he demanded not only a retraction but an article of equal length and' display glorifying the RAF. Quiets Opposition There seemed to be one way to get the matter settled for the record. "If you can find, or make, a situation," I wrote him, "where in court, under oath, you can get me the excuse to reveal my sources, I'll be very happy to pull the universe right down top of the heads of such liars and face-savers as you, and, on the strength of your letter, whoever presumes to be the official spokesman for your majesty's government." nor the editor, ever heard another word.

The separate air force bill of the moment failed. It was unanimously defeated in committee. Pearl Harbor struck us shortly, and our army and navy, with their integrated air forces, went on to win both wars and to save not only Britain but the world. Now that it's over and we have time to organize one, a separate air force is all right with me. 8ii End of process in cotton manufacture in mill of Atlanta's federal penitentiary, shown above, means start of new life for many a prisoner who learns a skilled trade in the mill and gets a Rood start for steady, honest employment when he gets on the "outside." ATLANTA (NEA) Discharged prisoners from Atlanta's federal penitentiary are writing fan letters to the warden.

Prison industrial training programs have given them the ecnomic chance they need to go straight. During the war, U. S. prisons supplied the armed forces with immense quantities of manufactured goods. Today, their industries are concentrating on teaching industrial skills that will make useful, self-supporting men of former convicts, men able to earn a living above the bare subsistence level that makes repeaters of so many criminals.

A graduate of the cotton mill trade school in the prison here wrote the warden: "Sorry I didn't get to see you before I left, for I really do appreciate everything you did for me while there. I am getting along fine and have made up my mind to stay here. I got a raise the first week and I will get another soon I hope in time the boys there will learn to appreciate what you are doing for them, just as I have." A 52-year-old. man, who spent 26 years in prison, had only one leg and was almost totally deaf, was given a hearing aid upon release and a job was found for him in industry. Trained in prison as a lathe operator, he is earning a good, honest living today.

Last May 15, the vocational education for war production training program ended. Taking its place is a long-range peace-time program. Today's trainees are chosen more carefully. More attention is given to education and aptitude. Potential trainees are often referred to the education department for pre-train.

ing study courses. Many convicts raise their educational level amazingly fast. For the government, it Is a good financial investment. Besides reclamation of individuals for society, income taxes from the increased earning capacity of released convicts repay the cost of training many times over. In the cotton south, heaviest emphasis here is placed on cotton trades and manufacturing skills.

Training programs are keyed to current needs of the industry so that upon release, men' can more readily step into industry. Only about three percent of the released men have failed to make good; some have done very well. A prospective employer gets a thorough and detailed report on the man he is contemplating hiring. Nothing is concealed. Usually no one but the employer or his administrative officers know the worker's past.

Democrat Joins GOP In Budget Cut Fight WASHINGTON OP) Senator George former chairman of the senate finance committee, has added his voice to that of many Republican members of congress calling for a cut in President Truman's $37,500,000,000 budget. "I am sure the budget can be levelled off at $35,000,000,000 and I hope it can be cut below that point," he told a reporter. George. who frequently reflects the views of many of his democratic colleagues on financial matters, is one of the first influential Democrat senatois to speak out for less spending than recommended by the President for the 1948 fiscal year. He also advocated a delay in any tax reduction until income exceeds government expenses by "We ought to arrange to pay not less than $1,000,000,000 on the national debt and to leave a breathing space of another $1,000,000,000 for possible shrinkage of he said.

In effect, he said, this would limit tax reductions generally to whatever' congress might save by cutting the budget below $35,000,000,000. Many Republicans have urged even deeper cuts in the President's budget. Some have asked a 20 percent reduction in income tax rates. Meanwhile Chairman Bridges N. of the senate appropriations committee said the senate-house budget committee is having a tough time trying to estimate income and outgo and balance them, as required by the congressional reorganization.

He told reporters the group may bring in an over-all figure and avoid specifying which of President Truman' estimates should be cut. Otherwise, he said, various blocs might seek to apply pressure for increases in particular appropriations. Belgium was the diamond cutting center of the world before World war No. 2, but many of the diamond experts came to the United States during the war. (continued from Bill's previous column) BY BILL CUNNINGHAM BOSTON Those reports took my breath.

In the debacle of France and Dunkirk, for instance, they said the green RAP pilots, who hadn't been schooled, as our fliers are schooled, with troops, unable to tell their own troops and tanks from the German, bombed their own people so steadily that, in one tragic instance, the tanks turned their own guns on their own planes and shot three of them down in self-protection. The British disaster at Crete had never been untangled, but part of the trouble seemed to be, according to American observers, that the garrison commander. General Frey-berg, had to depend for planes upon the RAF middle east commander in distant Cairo. So did the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean fleet. Neither commander had his planes at the site, and under his own command, as both would have had under our system.

The buck was passed back and forth, the planes never got there at all, the British lost 18,000 men, valuable units of her fleet, was forced to make a scrambling retreat that lost much prestige, and brought all sorts of recriminations. This same type of story ran on, through the Rommel rat race in the desert, with a specific instance of how the RAF bombed a British attack force assembled at an oasis in a desperate effort to slice Rommel's i Navy Has Chapter Then there were naval chapters, especially one covering the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck. That told how the understaffed RAF had but 20 bombers and 12 fighters on the carrier Ark Royal, and how only three of the 32 pilots had ever engaged in a naval operation. Our navy fliers are officers of the United States navy and are trained in the navy. They can recognize any ship at a glance.

I wrote the story. The repercussions were instant and terrific. On the local scene, they took the form of bitter letters accusing me of antj-British writing. On the international level, nothing much happened until the story started getting reprinted. A national magazine asked me to rewrite it.

I did, and they duly brought it forth. They were promptly assailed by a commentator of national note operating then, and still, from a radio Wool CONSUL SEEKS TO AID CONDEMNED AMERICAN ZAGREB. YUGOSLAVIA U. S. consular officials were reported today to have conferred with government authorities here on the death sentence meted out by a Yugoslav court at the spy trial of Chicago-born Ivan Pintur.

The U. S. consul, Theodore Hohen-thal, declined to comment, saying merely that he was awaiting the results of Pintar's appeal and planned to visit him soon. Pintar was charged with being in the service of 'international reactionaries and war mongers" and with promising other defendants alleged members of a terriost group that he would try through friends in the U.

Consular records showed that Pintar came to Zagreb in 1933 and later opened a shop selling American goods in Sisak. Consulate officials said the only time any of the staff saw Pintar was last February, when lie applied for reinstatement as a U.

43-year-01d father of two, was held today on $10,000 bond, charged with embezzling over $25,000 from the Lumberman's National bank over a period of 12 years. Harry T. O'Connor, in charge of the Detroit FBI office, said Brink admitted in a formal statement that he took the funds while working as a teller at the bank to "meet family expenses." Brink waived preliminary ex amination at his arraignment here before United States Commissioner Fred C. Wetmore and was ordered held for district-court arraignment. He indicated he expected to be able to furnish his bond at a later date.

U. S. District Attorney Joseph F. Deeb of Grand Rapids said discrepancies in accounts entrusted to Brink were discovered after he was transferred from the bookkeeping department. Deeb said Brink issued personal checks which he then charged against regular customers' accounts.

He then sent statements to de positors indicating a false balance, Deeb declared.

"The general misunderstanding of the teaching and method of Jeais has been a great tragedy to rjfkind," Robert S. Van Atta, C.S., or Rochester, N. said in a lecture yesterday afternoon at the W. K. Kellogg auditorium, attended by approximately 1,200.

Mr. Van Atta, a member of the board of lectureship of the Mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, spoke on "Christian Science: the Science of Life and Healing." His lecture was broadcast over station WELL. This misunderstanding, he con-, tinued, "has brought untold misery and suffering to the race. The man Jesus was a human being. He was born of a virgin mother, was brought up, lived his life, did his work, and finally disappeared from the human scene.

How did he differ from other men? In the fact that, although he was human, yet his character was an expression of the divine it was as nearly divine as it is possible for any human character to be. Through the Godlike character of his human life he bridged the gulf between God and men; he brought heaven down to earth. He demonstrated the coincidence between the human and the divine. "The Bible gives us no description of the Master's face or form, but it does give us accurate and beautiful accounts of his spiritual nature and work. Jesus taught morality and spirituality; he taught nothing material.

He taught men how to be good and how to be free by teaching them how to think correctly. If we hope to emulate Jesus in living a truly good life we must understand the Principle and action of the thoughts. We must understand the Mind of Christ, the divine Spirit which animated Jesus. "The communication of true thoughts from God to man is due to the relationship which exists between God and man. Let me read to you a paragraph from Science and Health' (p.

336): "'Immortal man was and is God's image or idea, even the infinite expression of infinite Mind, and immortal man is coexistent and coeternal with that Mind. He has been forever in the eternal Mind, God; but infinite Mind can never be in man, but. is reflected by man. The spiritual man's consciousness and individuality are reflections of God. They are the emanations of Him who is Life, Truth, and Love.

Immortal man is not and never was material, but always spiritual and eternal "Realizing our oneness with eternal Mind, we shall find spiritually right thinking is natural and unlabored. "Humanly speaking, we need to change our minds. How is this to be done? Many believe they can it themselves. They believe they --'e a power within themselves which they call "will power' by which they are able to control and regulate their mental processes. It is also believed that one person can influence another through the me dium of the human will.

But will power is not scientific, because it is a belief of an effect without a cause, an attempt to separate the creator from His creation. "Human will power is character Ized in 'Science and Health' tp. 490) as 'an animal propensity, not a faculty of Soul. Hence, the state ment continues, "it cannot govern man aright. Christian Science reveals Truth and Love as the motive powers of man.

Will blind, stubborn, and headlong cooperates witn appetite and passion. From this cooperation arises its evil. From this also comes its powerlessness, since all power belongs to God good. "It should be clearly understood HOW DOES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEAL? The disappearance of organic and functional disease, as well as trouble in other forms, Is continually recorded among those who have turned to Christian Science for help. The method of such overcoming of difficulty is prayer a spiritually scientific manner of thinking based on the teaching of Christ Jesus.
