Men from widely separated nations, for example, said many searching things at the Lutheran World Assembly in Minneapolis. One of the most suggestive statements made at this notable gathering came from Dr. G.

Elson Ruff of Philadelphia, editor of The Lutheran. Dr. Ruff declared that Christian morality and conscience play a notably small part in American public life. He called for vigorous effort to narrow what he regards as the present wide gulf between Christian principles and public decisions. is more important in said Dr.

Ruff, "whether a man is against private property than whether he is against God. And being a Communist is more frowned upon than being an This is a provocative view, one that will not find universal agreement Whether or not one agrees with specific points he made, this eminent Lutheran remarks about the chasm between religious belief and public action deserve to be mulled over carefully. The founding fathers of this nation believed in God. Though they also believed in the separation of church and state, it was their firm conviction that the moral principles underlying this predominant re- ligiou.c faiths should be foundation of our public life. That is as true now as it was when the Republic was founded.

What Dr. Ruff said should be a helpful guide to citizens in forming judgments of elected offi cials and public policy. POLITICAL DYNAMITE Besides other dangers, the inflationary spiral which appears to be seizing ou: economy is political dyna mite. National politica campaigns are largely decided on bread and butter issues. When the pocketbooks of millions are either hit by inflation or emptied by depression, the party in power and the man in the White House will suffer where politicians suffer most acutely at the polls.

This is of crucial political importance. A continued price rise could sink the Republicans almost as though the GOP were a political Titanic. If the damages of the inflationary price rise are severe enough, then inflation may become the all-embracing issue of the 1960 presidential campaign. Everyone can test statements about prices, inflation, wages at the nearest supermarket. If the supermarket test is gloomy in 1958, and more so in I960, then there will be a strong possibility of Democratic victory.

This is it is the simpliest political arithmetic From here on, all aspiring candidates had better watch that price index more closely than a Milwaukee baseball fan watches the standings of the teams in the National League.

Fido not only has his day, but he has company at night expensive company at that. A TROUBLING IRONY A number of American participants in the World Youth Festival in Moscow went on a brief visit in Communist China. They went in defiance of a U.

S. State Department ban against such travel There is a troubling irony in the fact that, when these young people return to this country, they wil! have seen more of Communist China than almost any American newspaperman has seen during the past several years. This irony should not be lost on the American people. Most particularly, it should not be lost on Secretary Dulles. Red China is a nation of some 600 million people spread over a vast territory.

They are a people whose government is profoundly hostile to our way of life. Yet thanks to State Department strictures against travel in China, the American public has almost no direct information about what goes on behind the borders of that alien land. Americans are not political babes in arms who must be spoon-fed with secondhand or thirdhand reports that pass for news about Communist China. It is ridiculous to suppose that we are better off for not knowing much about that Oriental giant which is second only to Russia as a citadel of Communism. The story about the ostrich with its head in the sand and its vulnerable tail feathers waving in the breeze is a hackneyed one, but it fits this situation like a glove.

The State Department has made some rather hesitant moves to modify its position against letting American newsmen go to Red China to report what they see and hear. With all due respect for sensibilities, we suggest that the time has come for a clear-cut admission that the policy of barring newsmen is based on an error in judgment. That pol icy should not be reversed. The United States gains nothing by keeping itself in the dark about what the Red Chinese are up to. SCHOOLS AND TAXES MHS.

SCHRADER MARY CLARRICE DOUGLAS AND JACK SCHRADER MARRIED IN TEXARKANA BAPTIST CHURCH Before long, schools will open again all over the country. Some of us are fortunate enough to live in communities where schools are still adequate. But what of the many schools that are less than adequate? What of the youngsters who will have to try to learn in overcrowded classrooms, from teachers who are overburdened and, in many instances, underpaid? Even communities where schools are now satisfactory may have troubles in years to come. Population increas es will strain existing facilities in most areas, the short age of teachers will grow more acute as young people wJro might ordinarily enter the profession of teaching are lured away by jobs that pay better. As a nation, we will soon have to decide just how important education is to us.

We will have to face the fact that good schools and good teachers are going to cost money and that, in one form or another, this money will have to come from taxes. Paying taxes is not ordinarily a pleasant duty, especially when tax levels are higher than ever before. But the future greatness of depends on the children who are in school and who will be in school in the years to come. We owe them the best education possible. If it takes more money to give it to them we must spend that money ungrudgingly.

Whatever we After a wedding trip to Springs, Jack Schrader and his bride, the former Miss Mary Clarrice Douglas, are at home in Hubbard. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Douglas of Texarkana.

Texas, the bride is an instructor in Business Administration, Navarro Junior College.

Ushers included Tom Anderson, Corsicana; Kenneth Bates, Texarkana; Douglas Cox and Mackey Hammock, Hubbard. Marches Traditional Traditional wedding marches were played by Mrs.

E. O. Bone, who accompanied Preston Waldrop in the and "The Palms formed a background and flanked tall pedestal baskets of white and yellow gladioli, illumined by tapers in seven-branched candelabra. White satin covered the kneeling bench, and yellow and white satin bows marked the pews. The bride was gowned in a princess white Chantilly lace dress, designed with long stem bodice and portrait neckline edged with tulle and encrusted with dainty seed pearls.

Brief lace sleeves were complemented by matching lace mitts. The bouffant skirt of lace was scalloped at the waltz length hemline. Hot I The veil was held by illusion and seed pearls. She carried red roses centered in white gladioli blooms, glittered nylon net, streamers and love knots in a colonial arrangement atop a white pray- book. Mrs.

Bates, as matron of honor, was attired in jonquil yellow chiffon. The empire bodice was defined with set-in satin waistline, and satin edged the bateau neckline. She wore a matching, flowered straw hat and carried aqua baby mums and satin rolled leaves in a colonial bouquet with matching streamers. For her daughter's wedding Mrs. Douglas chose a blue linen dress with blue and white accessories and wore a corsage of white carnations.

The bridegroom's mother, Mrs. Schrader, wore a pink lace dress, accessorized in pink and white, and a corsage of blue carnations. Reception Held The home of the parents provided the setting for a reception after the wedding. The table was covered with a cutwork linen cloth and centered with the bridal bouquet. The cake was a four-tiered square confection with yellow roses cascading down the sides from a heart of satin and tulle and yellow roses on top.

Mrs. G. B. Douglas of Port Arthur, aunt of the bride, presided at the wedding cake, and Mrs. Bettie Rhodes of Texarkana, another aunt, served the wedding punch from a cut crystal bowl, a family heirloom and gift to the bridal principals from her aunt, Mrs.

L. B. McGraw, Texarkana. In the reception houseparty were Mrs. McGraw and Miss Barbara Sue Birtcher, Texarkana, cousin of the bride; Miss Frances Watson, also of Texarkana, and Mrs.

Tom Anderson, Corsicana. Included in the decor was a triangular design of white gladioli and yellow pom mums flanked by single tapers in matching ceramic holders, adorning; the sideboard Italy Gladiators Nay Move Upstairs In 1957 District 19-B Grid Standings Bolstered by tight returning lettermen from the 1956 team that finished at the bottom of the loop, the Italy Gladiators are in a position this year to cause some considerable competition in District 19-B football. Coached by Max Whitley, the Gladiators managed a single win last year in nine contests. They went through district competition whhout winning a game, ending with an 0-4 mark. Scoring Drouth The Gladiators were able to cross the double stripe only two times against district foes, and they only scored 50 points during the entire season.

But if he so chooses, Whitley can get optimistic this year with eight men returning to don their uniforms for pre-season practice which gets underway August 26. The head coach has ten davs In which to get the boys in tiptop shape before the first battle with Joshua. That game is on the docket September 6 in Joshua. Winner of the 1956 sportsman- hip trophy, the Gladiators will have about twenty boys on the team by the time the first game gets under way. Six boys left the team due to graduation.

Five. Squadmen Whitley indicated that about five squadmen are scheduled to return and try for a spot on the team. And several freshmen will report to Whitley for their initial year in high school football. The coach intends to work the boys every morning for a couple of hours and to put them under the lights each evening during the trn- day period he has to get them in shape. Workouts will resume each afternoon when classes start at the high school.

The crew will have to compete agaknst co-champions Frost and Blooming Grove, who, from all indications, will field strong teams this year. Wortham and Mildred are also in the district. With five returning lettermen headed for line positions, the forward wall should be pretty solid this year. Three of the lettermen will handle backfield chores. Lettermen who are earmarked for line positions are: Harold Rogers and Hubert Chambers, at tackles; James Wolaver and William Mauldin, at guards; and Larry Gardner, at center, The three returning backs who earned letters last year are: Eddie Saylors, Gary Batte, and Rodney Sissom.

This year. Whitley has scheduled ten games for the Glads, six at home and four away. The 1957 Schedule Sept. 6, at Joshua. Sept.

Studio Photo MRS. FERRIS RICHARD FIELDS MISS MARTHA SUE THOMASON AND FERRIS RICHARD FIELDS MARRY IN KERENS CEREMONY as there are proper safeguards against waste and extravagance, is money well spent. KITTEN Mary is a sweet little three-year-old with a blond pony tail. Mary has a soft, grey kitten that shp loves very much. And Mary, it must he noted, treats her kitten abominably.

She lifts the kitten by its ail; she goes about clutching her pet in what threatens to be quite literally a death grip. Mar rumples the kitten and strokes its fur the wrong way, and hugs spend on education, longit with the lethal ardor of the very young. Thus far, the kitten has survived. Mary, as we said, is a sweet little girl. The trouble is that her mother has never taken pains to instruct her in the difference between a rag doll and a living creature.

As a result, the grey kitten is suffering tortures no less real because thev are unintentional, and Mary may be badly scratched one of these days. It all adds up to an axiom: Young children should not have pets until they have been taught to handle them with the care due one of living creatures. Plane Huriles Into Two Homes, KilHiiw Pilot PITTSBURGH, Aug. An Air Force T128 plane hurled into two houses in the tiny mining community of Clinton, near Pittsburgh, today killing the pilot and setting the homes ablaze. The control tower at Grea'er Pittsburgh Airport, about five miles from the crash scene, confirmed that the pilot died in the crash, but said identification was not available.

Jerry McLaughlin, a resident of Clinton, said the plane narrowly misned his own home before crashing into the two frame houses. The resultant fire caused them to burn to the ground, leaving only the chimneys standing. McLaughlin said: plane bounced into a field I behind the houses. It scattered over three or four acres. The pilot never knew what hit him.

They tell me he was burned Three days ago, a private plane converted P-38 World War II in the air and crashed less than two miles southeast of the airport, killing two men. William Foster, driver of the Imperial Fire Company engine whose volunteers fought the flames, said only one of the razed homes was occupied. He reported that Morris Ritchey, 60, fled from the kitchen without mishap. Several witnesses reported that one man bailed out of the craft before it crashed. A body was found some 100 feet from the flaming wreckage.

Foster said: plane looked like a handful of crumpled-up cornflakes after the crash. The plane exploded and burst into flames."
