Powell Urges Early Action On Colleagues WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House Education and Labor Committee started its own countdown today to launch President Kennedy’s education program as one answer to Russia’s man-in-space achievement. Chairman Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., urged his colleagues to get cracking on bills to carry out Kennedy’s $4.7 billion proposal to upgrade American education. The Negro congressman took a personal pledge not to introduce propasals to bar federal aid to racially segregated schools. Declaring that the challenge posed to Americans by the Soviet cosmonaut overrode all other considerations, Powell said he would sponsor no amendments that could kill school aid. Powell arranged for subcomcrimination amendments to school bills in the past, and invariably they have resulted in the death of the legislation. f Powell arranged for subcommittee now working on Kennedy’s $2.4 billion college aid measure to place a bill before the full committee by April 19. He said if a subcommittee scheduled to start closed-door work that same day on the $2.3 billion ele-mentary-secondary school aid bill didn’t make progress, he would snatch the legislation away and write it in full committee. The college bill advanced slightly Thursday when the subcommittee tentatively approved a cutdown version of Kennedy’s loan proposal for colleges. Other congressional news: Antitrust: Sen. Estes Kefauver faced new roadblocks in his efforts to investigate price-rigging by giant electrical equipment manufacturers. Republicans announced they again would object to allowing the Tennessee Democrat’s antitrust and monopoly subcommittee to hold hearings while the full Senate was meeting to consider the minimum wage bill. They said holding hearings would prejudice the civil suits pending against the companies.

China: Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen, Hl., said he would introduce a resolution declaring that Congress was against recognition of Red China or its admission to the United Nations. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield. Mont., said he would support the resolution. Taxes: Sen. Albert Gore said he would introduce legislation to plug a “glaring and unjustified loop- > hole” in tax laws. The Tennessee • Democrat said the bill would bar i corporations from granting re- ■ stricted stock options. He charged • this method of paying executives and other employes was costing the government at least SIOO million a year. Homes: The House passed and sent to the Senate Thursday a {bill to channel up to $1 billion more into home loans for exservicemen. The money would be made available over the next six years to veterans in rural areas where private mortgage funds under the regular GI loan program are not obtainable. Kenyon Sprunger Is G.O.P.

No Insurance Lesson for April 16,1961 IF MORE questions are raised * than are answered, in the Bible study for this week, that is because for three weeks the center of attention is on the book of Job, part of the Bible’s "Wisdom Literature.” The book of Job itself

raises a question which it does not finally answer. The important thing this week is to get hold of the problem. Next week and the week after that we shall be concerned more with the answers.

Dr. Foreman

lob Is Every Man There is no need to inquire whether this book of Job refers to some historical individual named Job, or whether this is a drama, a book of profound thought cast into the form of a story. For Job • lives on every street, your middle name is Job. Job is the man who has everything. He is the man that Americans all want to be. He "has it made.” He has a big family that is a credit to him. he has wealth more than he needs. He has solved the problem of security.' He does not need help from the government nor from any man. He is, you might say, insured against trouble. Wealthy, respected, successful—put Job into modern tai-lor-made clothes, exchange his tent for a big house at a desirable address, and he looks so much like a 20th-century American of the “high salary bracket” kind, that a play can actually be written today, with the scene laid in our time and nation, using the very plot of the book of Job, and that play can be a smash hit on Broadway and around the country. Most other books of the Old Testament are distinctly Jewish. This book of Job is not. The man Job is not a Jew; he is called (purposely) vaguely a man from Uz, one of the "children of the East,” no son of Israel. Here is univen sal man. His questions are al men’s questions, his problem if

our own. When Life Crashes In The reader of Job should no inch along a few verses at a time Take your next day off and read the book straight through, or il you can’t do that, then take al least a chapter at a time. Th< book is mostly a debate, but the debate begins with a story about another debate, one between God and Satan. God asks Satan if he has taken a good look at Job: there is a good man for you! Satar does not agree. Job is not good he is only smart, Satan says. He is good because God has blessed him with success and happiness. Let God (as it were) stop Job’s pay and he will see the last of Job So God gives Satan leave to do his - worst, only he must not touch Jot himself. Then comes a smashing series of disasters. Job’s wealth and his family are all swept away, and Job is left poor and lonely with only a bitter wife for companion. But Job does not turn away from God. The next time Satan comes to visit God, God asks him: Did you see my" servant Job? He is better than you thought. You moved me against him, to destroy him without cause; but he still is a good man. Oh, Satan says, he still has his health. He can start life again. Let me drag him down in sickness and pain, and you will hear him curse you to your face. Then God, who believes in the man Job, gives Satan permission to wreck this man’s body, and it is done. Now the problem is a terrible one. It is this: Why does God permit disasters? Vo Insurance Some of the answers brought out in the book of Job will be mentioned in the next two weeks’ columns. For the present, the point is that there is no insurance, in this world, against trouble. To be ffCre, you can buy insurance which will put a check in your hand if your husband dies. But you cannot buy insurMce which will guarantee he willlive as long as you do. There Is absolutely no insurance that life, your life, will not crash in. No amount of goodness, no heroism, no amount of service done to others, will insure you that you will go down to your grave without a care of a grief in the world. The only insurance you can buy (and it is good so far as it goes) will pay you money when the crash cornea

I more prominence, more popularity, more pleasure; and when the supply is cut off they grow bored and bitter. It was not otherwise in our Lord's day. Men were then, as they* are still, covetous of wealth and station, reputation and pleasure —of everything save the one thing that utterly and finally matters. If Jesus came into our midst today He would say to us what He said to His contemporaries: “You are on the wrong trail: at the end of that trail is disillusionment and emptiness and death.” Listen: “Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.” This word righteousness, what does it signify? It looks like a heavy theological affair, some distance away from the common business of life. But actually, the word is quite simple.

ent of our word religion, but with a stress upon caring religion into the common business of life. J In the beatitudes Jesus is redyeing religion, which had become a very complicated thing, to its simplest elements. Righteousness, as He uses it here, meant simply living with and for God. Blessed are the people who have a passionate desire to live in harmony with God. They shall not be disappointed. Oh, what blessings there are for God's people if they will follow His teachings in His Holy Word, and live for Him.
