Bible Scholars Complete New Testament Version NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. new translation of the New Testament, differing in form and content from the familiar King James version, has been completed by a committee of Biblical scholars and will be published Monday. The committee was named by the International Council of Religious Education with which the educational boards of 40 of the maior Protestant Students Riot; Warn British To Leave Nile By Max Boyd CAIRO, EGYPT iJP) More than .00 Egyptian students and several police wore injured today! when fighting broke out during a mass demonstration in which students surged through the streets of Cairo shouting "to the revolt" and "down with Britain." The demonstration started after a mass meeting protesting against the recent British reply to Egypt's request for revision of the 1936 British-Egyptian treaty. The fighting flared up when approximately 8,000 students, caught between police lines near a Nile rlvor bridge, started hurling stones.

Bystanders joined In shortly on the Hide of the students. Police Chief Lewa Russell Pasha, who was on the- scene during the melee, Immediately summoned mount -ed police. An estimated 5,000 students attended the meeting at Faud university, while Egyptian police and British military police patrpUed the streets and public squares. The city was declared "out of bounds" for British and American troops. Banners were hoisted proclaiming "Down with Imperialism," "The Question of the Country Is International" and "Get Out of the Nile Valley." LUNCHES WITH ROYALTY LONDON, ENGLAND Mrs.

Publication of the new translation, known as the Revised Standard Version, will be followed in about four years by a new translation of the Old upon which another section of the committee is engaged. The Revised Standard Version will be an authorized revision of the American Standard Bible of 1901, which was a revision of the King James Version, published in 1611. Translators said none of the -changes in the new version affected any major doctrine of the Christian faith.

It is in simple, familiar style which, they said, corresponded more closely to the vernacular Greek in which the New Testament was written. Eliminated from the text of the sixth chapter of Matthew, and placed In a footnote, is the final' verao of the Lord's Prayer, "For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, amen." It was believed this was done 'on tho ground that the manuscript authority for it was doubtful. Another change is that "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men," Luke 2:14, becomes "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased." The older version is in a footnote. The Rev. Dr.

The United States abstained from voting.

'Heavy Water Experiments By Nazis Failed in Atom Race By Charles Chamberlain MINDEN, GERMANY German experiments with heavy water in attempts to split the atom during the war were unsatisfactory, Professor Otto Hahn, Germany's Nobel prize-winning i atomic scientist, said today. "In itself, heavy water is not an effecETvc radio-active substance, but is used as an auxiliary for the splitting of uranium atoms," he explained. "We expected to need heavy water, but it was not so.

Americans have proved that this can be done more simply and effectively by using carbon." Heavy water plants were built by tho nazls in Norway for atomic bomb research work. British and Nor- 1 weglan commandos, in a highly successful raid, blew them up. (Heavy water has a specific gravity greater than ordinary water. Its hydrogen content is of than atomic weight two, rather atomic weight one.) Another atom scientist in the British occupation zone of Paul Harteck of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics in that light, rays thrown out during the. enov mous explosion of an atomic bomb added greatly to the destructive force.

"Tho splitting of the atom causes a temperature of more than 10,000,000 degrees and. "serial whirls" which destroy everything," Harteck said. "This frees an amount of light which is beyond the visible spec trtim. Only a few people know that the reflection of beams of light on solid bodies also exerts a mechanical pressure. This pres sure is so small where our normal light is concerned that it is not noticed.

The amount of light freed by an atomic bomb is great it 1 destroys Pastors Protest Plans to Return U. S. War Dead BOSTON, MASS. Twelve clergymen in the department of social service of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts informed President Truman today that it was "strongly against" bringing America's World war two dead back lo this country. The San Francisco Chronicle said yesterday that the army had completed plans to bring them home beginning this spring, if congressional authorization was granted.

Declaring that over-empha- sfs of the body stems not from Judaism or Christianity, but from a "secular paganism that clutches the transitory," the 12 clergymen who signed the letter as members of the department asked the president to use "all your prestige and authority" to stop tho project. Pointing out that it was estimated that the program would cost $500,000,000, the letter said: Would it not be more fitting tribute to the dead to use that large sum in a work designated to alleviate the suffering of humanity for whom they gave their lives?" WASHINGTON, D. C. United States gave Moscow a broad hint today that it did not favor the Soviets' demands for sole trus teeship of Tripolitania, con quered Italian colony in north Africa. Secretary of State Byrnes proposed instead a 10-year trusteeship under the United Nations organization, the complete independence for Tripolitania and Italy's three other prewar colonies in Africa, The Byrnes pronouncement had the effect of lining up the United States with Britain against Russia's bid to secure a sole trusteeship foothold in the strategic mid- Mediterranean area.

Britain has been vehemently opposed to the Russian pro- since it was first advanced, for if the Soviets moved into Tripolitania they would be in a position athwart the empire's so-called life-line to India and the far East. Byrnes made no reference to Russia's Mediterranean aspirations when he announced the 10- year trusteeship plan which the United States proposes for Tripo litania, Cyrenaica, Eritrea and Somaliland.

Separate Air Arm Rejected By War Office EXCLUDE FRANCO LONDON, ENGLAND The United Nations general assembly voted unanimously today to exclude Generalissimo Francisco Franco's Spain from membership. The resolution was adopted by 45 affirmative votes with two Salvador and Nicaragua. It was introduced by Panama. Philip J. Noel-Baker, British delegate, was applauded when he declared: "My government confidently hopes that there will be early changes in in accordance with the principles for which the Allies fought." Asserting the decisions here, at Potsdam and at San Francisco on Spain were the result of 10 years of history, Noel-Baker said: "We have not forgotten this history." WASHINGTON, D.

C. UP) The war department jolted congress today by coming out against creation of a separate air force. Legislation to set up an independent air arm, army leaders told congress, won't work. Their views were expressed in a letter to Chairman Manasco (D- Ala) of the house expenditures committee by Acting War Secretary Kenneth C. Royall, who said the opinions he voiced were shared by General Dwight D.

Eisenhower and General H. H. Arnold, wartime head of the army air forces. The war department, Royall wrote, "fully recognizes that one of the lessons learned in this war is that air power has come of age" and must have parity with land and sea power in time of peace as well as war. But, he added, the department believes this parity best can be attained by following President Truman's recommendation for a single department combining all three branches of the service.

Drastic Action In New York's Fuel Shortage Progress in Steel Issue as Gotham Rations Fuel Oil; Coal Next (BY TIIK ASSOCIATED IMtKSS) Settlement of the nationwide steel strike remained the top objective of high government officials today but federal and New York City officials were concerned over the serious fuel shortage in the nation's largest city because of a continuing work stoppage by tugboat workers. President Truman reportedly was "quite hopeful" the steel wage dispute soon would be settled. A government official, who asked anonymity, said "good progress is being made" in negotiations between industry officials and CIO United Steel Workers leaders. He said they are "not far apart." The most drastic system of fuel oil rationing in New York's history was ordered by Mayor William O'Dwyer after the 3,500 AFL striking tugmen rejected proposals designed to end the six-day hour- wage dispute. With fuel shipments by tugboats from New Jersey to Manhattan curtailed because of the strike, Mayor O'Dwyer said the action was taken "in the interests of the health and safety of the city's millions." O'Dwyer urged the office of defense transportation, which had seized the towboat industry Wednesday, to man immediately all tugboats and fuel barges in the strike-bound harbor and "to re-' establish the flow of fuel as quickly as it is humanly possible." The mayor asserted hundreds of dwellings and apartments were without heat and no coal was available; fuel oil supplies in all public buildings were "dangreously low," one of the city's largest hospitals had less one day's supply of fuel, and additional public buildings must be closed.

Earlier, in declaring a state of omergency O'Dwyer ordered a dim-out and closing of public schools. The advised businesses to "consider closing immediately" if their current fuel supplies would not last more than a week.

Democrats and republicans alike applauded the objectives of the emergency cam paign which has set its sights on the construction of 2,700,000 'new homes in the next two years. Wilson S.

The outlook was definitely better for the administration in the case of George B. Allen, named for a two-year term on the reconstruction Finance corporation board. Republican opposition to his nomination appeared to be crumbling and his prompt confirmation was generally believed assured. President Truman's reaffirmation of his confidence in Pauley on Thursday evidently failed lo move some members of the senate naval committee.

Administration lieutenants who did not want to lie quoted by name said a check Indicated Pauley's democratic support there was insufficient. They said a nose count of committee members indicated at least two democrats would join with seven republicans to cause a 9 to 0 tic if the Issue were put to a vote there now.
