"Love aaid Confucius. Though he set great store by ritual and observance of religious rites and believed that the universe was on the side of righteousness, Confucius had little use for heaven or an afterlife or disputations about a supreme being. "You do not yet know about the living," he said.

"How can you know about the dead?" Like an Oriental Diogenes, Confucius wandered from court to court looking for an honest prince who would put his teachings into practice. None would, and Confucius died in 479 B.C. thinking himself a failure, unaware that his ideas, transmitted and elaborated and sometimes distorted by generations of disciples, were to influence more human lives than those of perhaps any teacher who ever lived, NEXT: "First Universal Emperor9 Do not to ethers what joa would not have them do to you.

As armies clashed, so did tninds, setting off brilliant sparks. The greatest of these philosophers was horn Sn 551 B.C. in the small state of Lu (modern Shantung). His name was K'ung Fu-tzu, known to the West as Confucius. To Confucius, the ideal society was ruled hf men of superior morality! "The virtue of the superior man is like wind and the virtue of the people is like grass.

The grass bends in the direction the wind blows." Confucius was not a democrat In his society, each man knew his place: "Courtesy is not extended to the common people, and punishment is not served up to the-lords." But since morality, and hence the right to gOTern, were the products of learning, there were So rigid class bars to individual advancement. Neither was he an innovator: "1 have transmitted and do not create anew." He believed Chinese society had reached perfection in the days of the sage-kings and preached ft return to an antiquity that had never existed. "The ancients desiring to order well their states, first regulated their families. Wishing to regulate their families, they first rectified their hearts." Thus a society in which the proper relation-ships were observed between king and subjects, between friend and friend, between father the customs bureau, wnicn recruited them.

(AP) The city council of Evanston, home of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union headquarters, Minnesota, seated 1970, can re urged trie government to use more sky marshals at airport gates and fewer on airplanes. Although armed, the sky marshals have never been able to thwart a hijacking that occurred in fligljt. On one occasion, a sky marshal was aboard an American Airlines 747 jet that was forced to fly to Cuba, but decided not to risk an attempt to capture the hijacker. Transportation undersecretary James Beggs, in recently released testimony before the senate appropriations subcommittee, acknowledged that the sky marshal program had not been as successful as hoped. "The plain facts are that we have had hijackings with sky marshals aboard the plane.

We has gained access to the pilot's compartment by one means or another, and so we are in a sense de-emphasizing the sky marshal program," he said. Hijacking Decline Hie number of successful hijackings of U.S. airlines has declined since the program was started. TTiere were 11 in 1971 compared with 18 in 1970 and 34 the year before that.
