Publisher Scores Drive By Sheriff INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The president of Bobbs-Merrill Publishing Co. attacked a recent drive by Marion County Sheriff Robert O’Neal to ban sexy magazines from newsstands as "absolutely disgraceful.” W. Hughes Miller told a meeting of the Sigma Delta Chi journalism fraternity that the entire publishing industry feels the next step beyond banning "playful magazines is burning of books.” Miller agreed however, that the kind of magazines seized in O’Neal’s raids are "bad.” But he added, "I don’t think any one person or any one group has the right to pass on the morality of any work or how it will effect the individual.” O’Neal’s efforts to clean up the newsstands have received the

tacit approval of Governor Handley. who proposed a campaign against “smut” magazines last week. Miller said further that whether a child sees such objectionable publications is the responsibility of his parents. Rumor Bafisla May Try To Enter U.S. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (UPD —lmmigration and customs agents kept an all-night vigil at Municipal Airport here on the possibility former Cuban President Fulgencio Batista might try to slip into the country. But agents insisted they had no inside information that Batista would fly to his old exile home here. They said they based their round-the-clock watch on a broadcast from a Dominican Republic radio station. The report said Batista had left Cuidad Trujillo en i route to the United States. Batisa lived in exile here for several years befor he seized power in Cuba in 1952. He owns a large. Spanish-style mansion here. Several members of his family now live at the mansion. Two Martinsville Men Killed In Accident MORGANTOWN, Ind. (UPD— Two Martinsville men were killed Thursday night when their automobile crashed along Ind. 252 west of here. They were identified as Phillip Pool, 30, the driver, and Albert Whitson, 35. State Police said the car ran off the road, then crossed the highway and smashed into a bridge abutment.

Featherbedding One Os Main Steel Issues NEW YORK (UPD — One of the big issues preventing a settlement of the nationwide steel strike is that of “local working conditions,” and management's insistence that the work rules be changed. This issue figures to be a stumbling block in the path of Federal Mediator Joseph F. Finnegan in his efforts to settle the strike. The question involves the touchy and controversial topic of ‘ ‘featherbedding. ” Webster defines a featherbed rule as a union rule that requires an employer to pay an unneeded workman, or to pay for unnecessary or duplicating jobs, or limiting the amount of work to be done in a day, as a means of stretching work. Steel management contends that efficiency is hampered by “featherbedding and loafing.” It is also charged that extra men are "frozen into plant payrolls long after their services are needed. Steelworkers Union President David J. McDonald has called the issue “phoney as a $7 bill.” But the struck steel companies regard the issue as important and one which must be dealt with. R. Conrad Cooper, executive vice president of U. S. Steel Corp., and the industry’s chief negotiator, said over the telephone from Pittsburgh today that the union has taken “a negativeview” on management’s insistence on negotiating changes in local working conditions to permit the industry to increase efficiency and productivity. He contended the union is “resisting change.” In the steel companies’ letter of June 10 to McDonald they asked him to consider contract changes which would enable labor and management, cooperatively, to “generate new economic progress.” The union’s Wage Policy Committee saw in these demands "an effort to revert to the days of industrial dictatorship.” McDonald’s attitude was expressed when he said, as the wage negotiations collapsed, that it was “simply inconceivable to the union that a local working condition such as the great American coffee break is preventing a settlement.” McDonald said the coffee break matter had actually been brought up during the negotiations.

Sen. Humphrey Says Nol Yel Candidate WASHINGTON (UPD—One television network closed its coaxial eye on Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey today but another flashed him a welcome—whether he’s announced or unannounced as a presidential candidate. And Congress, it appeared, was being impelled to speed up action on a bill to let all presidential candidates make TV-radio news program appearances without getting network hosts in trouble with the law. The Minnesota Democrat was knocked off the Columbia Broadcasting System’s July 19 “Face the Nation" TV show because network attorneys felt he had become a presidential candidate. This. CBS explained with regret, might force the network to give obscure candidates equal time on that program. Humphrey replied that this was “all nonsense,” and was both “unnecessary and unfounded.” He said the fact that Gov. Orville L. Freeman and Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, of Minnesota, had set up a Humphrey-for-president organization did not make him a formal candidate. His explanation had scarcely hit the news ’ wires when the senator announced that the National Broadcasting Co. had invited him to appear this morning on its early show, “Today.” Humphrey, who already had gotten some legal-ad-vice, quickly accepted. Asked point-blank on the NBC program, if he was a presidential candidate, Humphrey replied that he has given the question “very, very serious thought” and presumed that one of these days it would be “answered in the affirmative.’ ’ But he emphasized anew that he is not now a candidate, saying that ’T’ve gone as far as I am going to.” The pending bill would exempt “appearances by a legally qualified candidate on a newscast, news interview, news documentary, on the spot coverage of news events or panel discussion...” Had it come out of committee a little sooner it might have passed the Senate Thursday on a routine calendar call. Democratic sources said the measure would be acted on speedily in an effort to dear up the political tangle. The drive for amending the law developed when the FCC ruled that Lar Daly, perennial and so far unsuccessful candidate for public office, was entitled to equal time on newscasts and similar shows in his campaign for mayor of Chicago.

Devotbaal Readinc: Isaiah All His Children Lesson tor July 19, 1959 THE “BOOK" of Ruth is a very short one. It could easily be printed in fairly large type on one page of a newspaper with room to spare. But it is * mistake to judge writings by their length, otherwise the Congressional Record would be the world’s literary masterpiece,

and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address a worthless trifle. As a story, the book of Ruth has a great charm. It is one of those parts of the Bible which we might call God’s extras,

something which Dr - Foreman could have been left out, but which, once we have it, we would not part with. Ways Is Read Rutk ' • One can read this little tale of long ago Just as a tale and enjoy its simplicity and beauty. Or one can find in it much sociological Interest, what marriage meant in those far-off days, what provisions were made for the very poor, and so forth. One can also enjoy and learn something from the characters described in it, each one sketched in a few revealing words. The author is strangely modem at this point. Writers today seldom use adjectives (such as heroic, brutal, clever, or what not) about their characters; they Just let us see them and judge for ourselvea 8o it is in the book of Ruth. But the way we propose to look at “Ruth”’ is this: the book shows with quiet simplicity how the very kinds of people many of us are inclined to look down on or shy away from, are God’s children. Flala People w There is another book in thfl Bible telling about the times whe*' the characters in the story of Ruth were alive; it is the Book of Judges. It is full of hero-stories. But none of those heroes appears on the pages of “Ruth" and none of the characters in “Ruth” are mentioned in the tales of bleod and battle that make up the Book of Judges. Apart from all the fame and the glory, apart from the people who nowadays would make the headlines, lived the simple farmers and poor people whom Ruth’ knew. You might get the idea from reading Judges that God is interested only tn brilliant, exceptional people, great loaders and heroes. But the book of Ruth brings out the point, for the thoughtful reader, that God has Just as much Interest in the humble as in the great and famous. His children are everywhere. TH Forolpor It was written in the Hebrew law that certain foreigners were not to be welcomed, not to be treated as equals, not to bo married by a Hebrew. Moabites were especially to be kept apart. No descendant of a Moabite, to the tenth generation, was to be accepted as a member of the "congregation” of Israel. Yet first Mahlon and then Boas married this Moabite girl. Boax knew she was a foreigner, but his question was not: What is her nationality? but, What kind of woman is she? Boas was one of those rare people who are kinder than any law requires; who look on people as individuals, not as members of a (perhaps hated) group. It is hard for us today to think of God as having children in Viet-Nam and Csecho-Blovakia and Thailand and other “outlandish" places. But ho does! la-Lawe ,The most impressive and solemn expression of the devotion of one person to another is found here in the book of Ruth. Strangely enough (some would think) it is addressed to a mother-in-law. How down-to-earth the Bible is! Many people think of in-laws as either away off yonder, a strange tribe, or else as an interfering lot when they live too cloee. They have status only because they are married to some of US. Nothing could be more absurd. God’s children are your inlaws Just as much as your "own" people. This particular in-law—or we ought to say, this pair of them —were closer, more helpful to each other and more understanding than their own flesh and blood. There may be undiscovered treasures among your in-laws!

TRUE FELLOWSHIP | Rev. J. R. Meadows Church members need fellowship and need what the fellowship has| to offer them. At the same time the Fellowship needs what they have to offer. There is no greater error in absenting one’s self from a church service than that of keeping from other members what one has to contribute and what members of the fellowship need. There is ever the danger of organizing a fellowship into a church and losing the value of associations in being gathered together. Man cheats his brother when he fails to share with him his Christian experience. However, the church should be the true fellowship of Christian persons who have been born again and born from above. Her doors are open to any who by attending her service desire by their very presence for God and His marvelous work in and among them.
