Prayer in Schools There is much interest in the issue of religion in public schools at the present time, and much of it is quite emotional, rather than reflective. Let’s all remember* that in 174 years less than 25 amendments to the Constitution htive passed, and only one amendment has been repealed — therefore, hasfy, ill-consid-ered action is entirely out of place. Do you think that children should say the Lord’s Prayer in school? On first thought, you will probably say, “Yes, definitely — there is nothing wrong with All right then — how shall it be said? Shall we “forgive us .our debts as we forgive our debtors” or shall we “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us?” Shall we end it with “For Thine is the Kingdom*; Power and the Glory, Forever and ever,” or 5h3.1l we just say “Amen”? You see, although 99% of us here in Decatur are Christians; we do not agree on any one prayer. We do not agree on whether baptism by emersion ===== is necessary, nor whether this emersion should be by forward of backward motion; we do not agree on whether drinking and smoking is abominable in the eyes of the Lord, or permitted if done without excess; we do not garee on church government structure, whether there should be bishops, or assemblies, or completely local congregational control. ' ■. .. ..... ............... We must remember that in New York City many of the schools are more than 50% Jewish, and therefore reference to Jesus or the Holy Spirit is out of place; in Hawaii, a large proportion are Buddhist, and the Scriptures as w r e know them are meaningless. We would object most hardily if we had to. pay taxes to support schools that taught that our religion was wrong — or even implied that it was not acceptable. Isn’t it just being Christian to do unto others as we would have them do unto us? Let’s teach religion — and teach it well — in the home and church —- but not in the public schools.

Edible Oil' Scandal Costly To Housewife

By ROBERT J. REGAN United Press International * NEW YORK (UPD — To a horde of investigators wading through the burgeoning edible oil scandal, the mess resembles an iceberg — most of it hidden from view.* ' But observers say that when all the facts Jire brought to tne surface. may reveal $l5O million in skulldruggery. A scorecard won’t be large enough to list the potential losers aryl victims. These already include 'a number of bankrupt edible oil firms and their employes, two large Wall Street brokerage companies, American banks, foreign banks and insurance companies. The big loser, however, may well be Mrs. American Housewife every time she buys salad oil for the dinner table. As things now stand, the public will have to pick up the tab for costly government investigations no matter how the whole business turns out. Oil “Disappears” The crux of the matter is a huge amount of edible oil which “disappeared" from a big tank farm in Bayonne, N- JHow much oil is missing, who took it, where did it go and where can it be found?* - The answers are being sought by a , federal grand jury, private de- * tectives, lawyers and a host of auditors who would make the investigative staff of the Internal Revenue Service envious. The answers won’t come easy, according to all appearances and the testimony, of Nicholas Papacpio. Papaccio, a former employe of Allied Crude , Vegetable Oil Refining Corp., testified in U.S. District Court in Newark, N. J., in cohnection with his firm’s bankruptcy proceedings. He said it was simple to transfer oil from one tank to another at the 200-umt storage tank farm in Bayonne. Not all the tanks are used by the same firms. The tanks are connected above and below ground by an involved system of transfer pipelines, and once the oil from one tank is piped into another, it is next to impossible to trace it. , Files Destroyed Files dealing with the assignment of some of those tanks were destroyed .by fire, and harassed investigators reported -difficulties in matching tags on other tanks with listed owners or leasees. The whole business came to? light when Allied Crude filed for reorganization under Chapter II of the Bankruptcy Act last month. The firm had failed to cover multi-million-do Hat margin calls on positions in vegetable oil futures. This means that Allied, which had purchased toe oil on credit

in hope of selling it at a profit, was unable to come up with the balance of its payments. The first phase of the mess was confined mostly to the futures market. Two Wall Street houses, Ira Haupt & Co. and J. R. Williston & Beane, which had acted for Allied Crude in oil dealings, were suspended by the New York Stock Exchange after Allied Crude failed to meet their margin calls. Ultimately, Ira Haupt was liquidated with the New York Stock Exchange stepping in with up to sl2 million to care for its customers; J. R. Williston & Beane was acquired by another member firm. Leads To Inquiries This sparked a series of investigations dealing with the futures market in general, the results of which are not in yet. While Phase One has not run its course, Phase Two— the search for the oil itself — is in full swing. for Allied Crude obtained an injunction preventing two other firms with tanks in Bayonne from removing oil from their tanks. - Ravin & Ravin, attorneys for the Allied Crude receiver, said ii had information that oil belonging to Allied Crude had been “diverted” to Hudson Tank Storage' Co. and International Refining and Packaging Co. " Another oils storage firm, Harbor Tank Storage Co,, of. West New York, N.Y., which leases 41 Bayonne tanks from Allied, filed, for reorganization under bankruptcy laws last week. The firm listed its debt at $225,000 but said its contingent liabilities could go as high as S4O million. Harbor Tank said claims in an "unknown amount” have been made again.st it for the delivery of certain edible oils against which certain warehouse receipts allegedly have been issued in connection with Allied Crude. Seeks Missing Oil Meanwhile. Bunge Corp., a large exporter of agricultural products, is pursuing its own investigation in an effort to locate 690 million pounds,, of vegetable oil it said was removed from tanks of another firm in Bayonne — American Express Warehousing, Ltd. — late last month. Bunge said it has receipts for 160 million pounds of oil, but only seven million pounds can be located: Last week, the Senate permanent investigations subcommittee said it would look into the situation to see if present laws covering purchase and sale of commodities need strengthening. At least two Department of Agriculture agencies have moved into the picture, as have FBI and the Securities and Ex-

Only Minor Damage In Accidents Here Only minor damage resulted from two Friday traffic mishaps and one early this morning. An auto operated by Rex Gene Werst, 25, of 408 N. Second Street, struck an auto driven by Judith Louise Frauhiger, 16, 243 N. Fifth street, as she attempted to turn into a driveway, at 12:25 a. m. today. Both vehicles were southbound on Fifth street, and Werst was unable to stop on the ice on the street and hit the rear of the Frauhiger car. Damages were estimated at S3B to the Frauhiger car and $lO to the Werst machine. At 4:32 p. m. Friday, a car driven by Thomas M. Macklin, 17, Homestead 24, struck a car driven by Helen J. Wilder, 51, of route 4, Decatur. Macklin was southbound in the 800 block of Russell street, and stated his accelerator stuck, causing him to lose control of his vehicle. The car crossed the center line and struck the northbound Wilder auto. Damages were estimated at $75 to the Wilder car and $35 to Macklin’s vehicle. Two autos were slightly damaged in a mishap at Nuttman Ave. and Tenth street, Friday, at 12:03 p. m. James L. Meyer,. 41, of 1109 Nuttman Ave., was southbound on 12th street and when he stopped for a stop sign at the Nuttman Ave. intersection, his auto was hit in the rear by a car operated by John J. Mendoza, 20, 909 N. 12th St. Damages were estimated at $5 to the Meyer car and $35 to the Mendoza auto. Grease on Carpets Grease spots on carpets or rugs are usually easy to remove with a piece of cheesecloth slightly saturated with carbon tetrachloride. Rub over the outer edges with a dry cloth as the spotted ,area dries, to prevent formation of a ring. Be sure to have a towel or similar absorbent material under the rug and try to avoid letting the solvent contact the floor, since it could affect the wood finish. change Commission. A federal grand jury also put its oar into the muddied waters. The' investigations, however, have been stymied because Anthony De Angelis, Allied Crude’s president, declined to answer questions relating to the case at the Newark bankruptcy hearings. ( Federal bankruptcy referee William Tallyn ordered De Angelis and Ben Rotello, controller of Allied, to show cause by Wednesday before a federal judge why they should not be sent to prison “or otherwise ■ dealt with” for refusing to answer. De Angelis denied reports that he built up his huge positions in cottonseed and soybean oil futures on the premise that contracts would move higher if the Soviet Union turns its interest from grains to edible oils. He said his positions were built up long before the commodity “thaw” with Russia. At any rate, there was a sharp decline in vegetable oil futures on Nov. 48, reflecting a downturn in the fluctuating fortunes of the Russian grain deal. Margin calls went out. Allied Crude went bankrupt and the scandal began to blossom.
