One of the youths comment- ! ed on “that keen car” to which his companion re- | plied: “Yeah, I know the guy who owns it—some old ; guy about 38.” “Ain't that life though,” philosophized the first youth, “by the time you ean afford some- ° thing like that you're too old to enjoy it.” ....

Hobby Proves Embarrassing EUGENE M. SMITH, 328 W. 40th st., a postman out in Broad Ripple, has a Saturday helper. His assistant is four-and-one-half-year-old John Raeburn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordan Raeburn, 1621 Kessler blvd.,, E. dr. John became interested in the postman about a year ago when his father was in’ service, Then the family always met the mailman and pretty soon John started walking with him. Later, Mrs. Raeburn fixed him up a little mail carrier sack with discarded envelopes as “letters.” The mailman picks John up at the house, usually waiting while he runs in and finds his “mail,” and John walks with him on a two block loop near his home. He gravely distributes his “letters” to people in the neighborhood while Postman Smith puts’mail in mail boxes. The kids often shout queries: “Anything for me?” and John shuffies through the envelopes, once in a while finding a letter for them. His hobby has proved a lit-

Rumors Swamp Switchboard

THE RAIL STRIKE, like all national happenings, set forth a flurry of-rumors, most of them groundless. The Times switchboard buzzed with calls from persons who wanted to know if martial law had been declared. One man seemed a little disappointed when told no such thing had happened. Another wanted to know if it was true gasoline would be “frozen.” A woman caller called frantically when she heard the city was going to institute food rationing. It made us think back to the war days, when almost any big happening set off wild speculation. . . . “A Reader” writes to ask why something can't be done about the recreation situation at Sunnyside hospital, commenting that many patients are dissatisfied because of radio service. The reader asks: “Why can’t they have radios as other hospitals have. I think this problem should be improved in order to make the patients happier.” We'd never heard that complaint before but we'll be glad to hear opinions on it.

Regretfully, the man denied that he was in that profession, or ever had been, regardless of the vibrations Mrs. Adams was receiving. A young woman seated near the man- arose and said, “I think you should know, Mrs. Adams, that we were discussing draftsmanship before you started —and that might have caused the vibrations.” “I stand for the truth,” said Mrs. Adams, simply.

Mrs. Pischer, a blonde and matronly woman, looked out over the heads of her listeners and said: “I seem to want to go where there is stone being chipped . . . sculpture . . and someone who passed over rather quickly . .. he seems to have something wrong with his leg.” “It means me,” said one of the judges. “Now I am in a country condition, friend,” Mrs. Fischer continued. “I want you to come hand in hand with me to a memory.

Scien IT IS BECOMING increasingly plain that the control of human nature is the No. 1 problem facing the world today. As President Raymond B. Fosdick of the Rockefeller Foundation puts it in his annual report for this year, we have learned to control the forces of nature before we have learned how to control ourselves. At last week's George Westinghouse Centennial Forum there was complete agreement among captains of industry, atomic bomb experts, Nobel Prize winners and famous medical men that another war would mean the end of civilization. Yet it is impossible to read the news of the world without the feeling that we are drifting closer and closer. to that awful possibility. = H. G. Wells once said that there was a race on in the world between education and destruction. He said that before world war II when the assumption was that civilization could not survive its coming. Civilization survived world war II, but no scientist will guarantee that it will survive a world war III fought with V-2 rockets carrying atomic bombs. A profound analysis 6f the problem of controlling human nature was given to the Westinghouse Forum by Dr. A. V. Hill, famous British medical scientist, Nobel prize winner and foreign secretary of the Royal Boclety of England.

Calls ‘Reason’ Main Factor THE SURVIVAL of mankind in the world today depends upon the operation of a factor that did not apply to the survival of animal species in the earlier history of the world, Dr. Hill pointed out. He called that factor “the use of organized reason and accumuslated knowledge.

My Day

NEW YORK, Sunday—The railroad strike has ended, but I feel sure that this experience will lead to new methods for dealing with labor troubles when they arise in public utilities. The old right to strike does not hold good when your job is one that affects the people of ghe world and the great mass of people in your own country. I still think that the public has some blame to bear. Because as a rule it is so oblivious of anything which is wrong for certain groups of people and accomplishes no reforms: until something drastic happens. This time, the results of the strike were so drastic that I think it will lead to the establishment of machinery which will force the taking up of any complaints immediately on their being made. The body of men who decide on their validity and on the man~ ner in which they should be handled would have to be beyond reproach, since they will have to act as the public conscience. Dictators of all varieties must chuckle these days, for certainly the great self-governing democracy is not functioning very smoothly!

By David Dietz

Organized reason and accumulated knowledge brought the civilizations of the past into existence, he said. But their perversion brought those civilizations to an end. It is yet possible that further perversion will bring man as a species to his end.

‘Dangerous Illusion’. “THE IDEA of inevitable progress is one of the most dangerous of illusions, founded as it is on a romantic disregard for facts,” Dr. Hill said. “What* is inevitable rather is general breakdown and disorder, unless decent, honest men in all countries work together all the time to preserve and improve our common inheritance of civilization.” The dominating factor in human relations * the balance at any time between reason and emotion, Dr. Hill continued. : “The chief difficulty,” he said, “is that so long as unreason in the main determines human conduct it will seek to use reason as its tool. And the more potent the reason, if employed for unreasonable purposes, the greater damage it can do.” Scientists today, he continued, are forced to turn to questions that’are primarily ethical rather than scientific. It is now apparent that science alone is not enough. “If scientific men are not > become the agents and tools of the unreason which may prevent mankind from climbing over the hump to the prorhised land, they need to ponder on the ethical imperative of their work,” he said. “Otherwise, the chain reaction of scientific development, exploited for unreasonable or selfish purposes, may tumble us all back into universal chaos.”

ATTACKS AIMS OF BYRNES IN PARIS MEETING

Hints Any * Further Action May Disrupt Relations Of Big Four. .

LONDON, May 27 (U. P.) ~Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov acidly denounced the United States and Britain today for "forming a bloc against Russia.” He said no selt-respecting state would submit to the maneuvers used by the Anglo-American alliance at Paris, Mr. Molotov said in a Moscow newspaper interview ft-had, become clear “that the peace offensive ve puke, licized in some ‘American circles consists in imposing the will” of United States and Britain upon Russia. This appeared a direct slap at Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who told the American people after returning from Paris that American policy was to conduct a peace offensive. for a fair European settlement. Mr. Molotov accused Mr. Byrnes

co-ordination and attempting to “utilize methods of pressure, threats and intimidation” against the Soviet Union, Condemns Byrnes He condemned Mr. Byrnes’ suggestion of possibly putting the peace treaties before the United Nations, which he said was not concerned with the question. Mr. Molotov also accused Mr. Byrnes of making a “somewhat inaccurate statement” when he said at Paris -that Premier Stalin had agreed in principle to the American proposal for a 25-year Big Four treaty on disarmament. In still another attack on Mr.

,| Byrnes’ Paris proposals, Mr. Molo-

tov said that any attempt to force the American plan for a 21-nation full dress peace conference before the Big Four had drafted elaborate treaties with agreement on all basic points might lead to a deterioration in friendly relations ameng the great powers. Makes Public Statement

The Soviet foreign minister made his first public statement on the Paris conference in terms that indicated little or no progress toward

.|big power agreement during the

recess period. His statements were presented as answers to questions submitted by the newspapers Pravda and Izvestia. Mr. Molotov condemned Mr.

15 meeting, He accused Britain and the United States of teaming up in a diplomatic offensive against Russia in negotiating the Italian treaty. Negotiations had brought to light some “unwelcome tendencies,” he said. . Molotov’'s Charges “Only aspirations toward friendly co-operation can serve as the base for development of relations between the Soviet government and other. states,” Mr. Molotov stated. Mr. Molotov charged that Byrnes’ proposal for referring the peace treaties to the United Nations if the June 15 conference fails was “one more attempt to break up” the present big power collaboration and “to utilize methods of pressure and threats and intimidation” against the Soviet Union.

Her long-distance “romance” with Arthur G. Hulberth, 24, was definitely at an end, Betty said. She added that the story printed in a London paper saying she had accepted his proposal was all a mis understanding. “l want to make it clear that there is not an engagement,” she sald. “He is just a friend.

Hoosier Symph Surprisingly

HENRY BUTLER Times Staff Writer DANVILLE, Ind, Thomas E. Wilson's Hoosier Symphony orchestra put on another surprisingly good concert here last night. . In this final concert of the Hoosier Symphony's season, the soloist was Vernon Sheffield, pianist from Kansas State Teachers college. : Mr. Sheffield was heard in what I judge was the Indiana premier of the B minor piano concerto by Marjorie Dean Gaston, head of Central Normal college music department, as well as in a group of piano compositions.

With admirable ini{iative, Mr, Wilson chosé two other contemporary orchestral compositions for his program: “Poeme Romaiique” by Beldon Leonard and the “Dual” suite by William Pelz. Both composers are- Jordan conservatory faculty members. I might add that the Jordan student body has furnished some -first-rate musicians for Mr. Wilson's orchestra. Wood Winds Do Well Mr. Leonard's "Poeme,” workmanlike and well-organized, made orchestral demands not always satisfied last night, although the woodwinds, especially the horns, sounded fine. Mr. Pelz's “Dinki,” frankly frivolous, is good stuff. With a conductor so energetic and sincere as Mr. Wilson, and with an amateur orchestra improving under his direction, Hoosier composers should be a lot more hopeful of hearing their works performed. I hope that music clubs and individual enthusiasts will back him up. And I'm sure willing to donate a few bucks towards the new concert grand piano Central Normal

Good Melodic Ideas On a first hearing and as an outsider, I'd say first that the piano part might have been written more effectively. It could still be altered and made more brilliant— more pianistic.c. Of course, with Mr. Sheffield hampered by that 1908 Daimler, as we might as well call it, you couldn't be sure of the piano. I recall a long stretch of potentially good and effective stuff in

on tonic and dominant chords (the first two chords - anybody learns, in case the terms are puzzling). Miss Gaston's good melodic ideas seemed to me to need a bit more interesting harmonic and contrapuntal support. Such things can always be reworked or temporarily abandoned in favor of something new.

The program took thé form of a non-sectarian service in music, the Rev. Theo. O. Fisher of Northwood Christian church, the Rev. Donald EY Elder of Bethlehem Lutheran church, and the Rev.

The organ prelude, postlude and accompanirthents were played by Paul R.

Join Leper Wife

By RUTH MILLETT ! A 65-YEAR-OLD husband, married for 33 years, says that if his wife has to go to a leper colony as a patient, he intends to find a way to go, too. The story rates headlines... But the couple themselves are matter. of -fact about it. The hushand says: “I don't consider myself any martyr by asking to be with her as long as we both shall live. I'd be unhappy without her, and she'd be unhappy without me, and that's all there is to it.” » n “ WHY ARE WE so touched by the story—when the marriage ceremony itself states “in sickness and in health?” Why are we inclined to look on the husband as a hero, instead of accepting his decision as matter-of-factly as he does? Isn't it because we are fast losing . the idea that marriage is for better or for worse — that the misfortune of one partner is the misfortune of both, that bad times and tragedy must be faced together? We are so far away from that fundamental concept of marriage that a couple's calm acceptance of it seems especially wonderful ad dramatic.

YET WHAT is more right or natural than that a couple should choose to stay together, if possible, through even such a fate as has befallen this husband and wife? That ‘is MARRIAGE-—or should be. Had we forgotten?
