| Robinson Says War Crisis Puts T. ask on Christianity

and Vernon Kniptash and Crawford

The leaders of cisislisnliy must reinterpret fhe basic principles of their ethics to save Western civilization in the present crisis, President D. S. Robinson of Butler University said last night. ~ “This will offset the false ethical principles which underlie the various ‘isms’ and ideologies which aré clamoring for recognition and supremacy in Western civilization,” he said in addressing the annual church school dinner of the Third Christian Church. “This crisis has now reached the place where the very social strueDe and way of life of Western meén | that has developed through cen{turies of historical evolution is threatened with destruction.” . | Dr. Robinson emphasized that

several Harvard professors recently have agreed that thie present crisis in Europe is the greatest since the fall of the Holy Roman Empire. “It ‘affects every phase of West-

ern life. There is a profound eco-

nomic crisis involving problems of maldistribution of wealth and widespread unemployment. “It also is a political crisis that has affected every country in Western Europe and the Americas, forcing important changes in governmental politicies. And it is a moral and cultural crisis that has culminated in profound changes in moral customs and beliefs and in

the cultural activities of Western

men. “Christianity must meet ‘this.”

WIFE- SWAPPERS FACE]

PRISON IN ALABAMA

RUSSELLVILLE, Ala, Nov. 10 (U. P).—~Rura] Alabama most emphatically disapproves of wife swapping. Because it does, twa men and the wives they swapped looked forward to prison today. A jury . convieted William D. Johnson, 36, a farmer, Odell Brand, 32, a WPA worker and Mrs. Della Brand Johnson, 31, of bigamy last night. Mrs, Annie Fay Johnson Brand had pleaded guilty. .. It was unmoved by the argument of defense counsel J. Foy Guin “Actors and actresses do the same thing daily,” he shouted at the

jurors. “This law should not apply |

just to the pdor and ignorant but on the slick-haired high social elements with store clothes and money in the bank.” Judge C. P. Almon will sentence them at the end of the current court session.
