Biblical Authority Scores Charge Against DENVER (#—A top Biblical au- thority says there is nothing to claims that the New Revised Stand- ard Version of the Bible detracts from the doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ. | “All the grounds that underlie | the doctrine of the virgin birth are stated plainly and unequivocably in the new version,” Dr. Luther A. Weigle, dean of Yale University Divinity School, told a news con- ference yesterday. Anyone*that says otherwise, he added, is misrepresenting the facts. Weigle, head of a committee of 32 Biblical scholars who worked 15 years preparing the new Bible, spoke out against attacks on it’ by some indivicual ministers and re- litous groups. In Akron, Ohio, the Rev. Bill Denton, superintendent of the Fur- mice utree Mission, yesterday used a blow torch to burn a copy o* the new version. Previously, a Rocky Mount, N. C., pastor fired a page from the Bible. The American Council of Chri tian. Churches, an organization of small, “separatist denominations, had announced plans for a 1 lly here tomorrew night to protest the new Bible. Chief grounds for their criticism has: been that in Isaiah 7:14, the word “virgin” is replaced by “young woman” in the new ver sion. The «ing James version read: “A virgit. shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel.” Weigle said the change was made because the » iginal Hebrew manu- script used the word “almah,’’| which means ‘“‘youag women.” The mistake, he said, was in Greek translations of the Hebrew, and it was carried over into the King James translation. At other points in the Old Testament, Weigle said, the Greeks correctly translated the | word to mean “young woman.” He said theologica) grounds for the virgin birth, as contained in the 18th, 20th, and 23rd verses of Mathew 1, and in verses 26 to 38 of Luke 1, remain “absolutely as firm as ever" in the New Testa- ment. Weigle said the condemnations have come mostly from “‘extre- mists" and notoriety seekers con-! nected with ‘splinter groups,”’ and that they do not represent any sub- stantial segment of protestantism.”” RESTLESS PUPIL SWALLOWS PENCIL ST.

The dollar now buys scarcely more than half as much in goods and services as it did before World War II. People now past their working yecrs find their pre-war | savings shrunk—sometimes to the | point of poverty. The inflation that brought this about seems at last to have been halted. The problem now is to pro- tect the value of the dollar and try to restore some of its lost pur- chasing power. | William McChesney Martin Jr., chairman of the board of gover- nors' of the Federal Reserve Sys- tem, says that returning financial ' controls to a “free market” sys-! tem, and away from too much gov- | ernment manipulation, should do | the trick. But he outlines two ‘serious fi- | nancial problems” of the coming; year: 1. “The prospect of a sub- | stantial deficit in the federal | budget”, and 2. “The recurrent | task cf refunding large amounts of | maturing government securities.” | Both of those could start infla-| tion up again, and thus further | cheapen your dollar. ‘oi { But the National City Bank of New York, in its December letter out Wednesday, says both could be avoided, and that actually the dollar's value can be improved if government agencies will reverse The bank wants the federal re-| and says it still has tools to do that, despite congressional action in clipping its power over consum- er credit The federal budget can be bal- anced, the bank s: if spend- ing policies are revised so that we get ‘‘more defense for fewer dollars’. And the fact that bil- lions of dollars have been appro let the new Congress see if it | doesn’t want to renege on some ‘of prior appropriations by pruning 'back on plans already approved. Then the bank sails into the Problem of management of the Public debt. It notes that since 1945 the gross volume of public | debt instruments issued by the | U. S. Treasury “runs to the fairly incredible total of 900 billion doi- lars.” So long as such a large float- ing debt hangs over the financial system, the bank contends, the seeds of further inflation will al ways be at hand.

Lawson, 22, is a final pathetic reminder of the 1952 footall sea- son. For the past 35 days he has lain in a coma in his darkened room on’ the 15th floor of the hos- pital. On Nov. 1 Lawson, a tackle for Randolph-Macon College, was giv- ~ |ing one of the greatest perform- ances of his career against Johns Hopkins University. Ripping through the line in an effort to stop a ball-carrier, he collided head-on with a teammate and re- ceived a severe brain injury. Two operations have been per- formed to ease the pressure of a blood clot out of reach of the sur- geon’s knife. To neither operation has Lawson responded. Doctors say they can do no more | than wait. Long ago they gave up e medical hope for his recovery. But Bis. he hangs on to life with a fierce Official U.S. Navy Photo | tenacity that astonishes physicians and leaves them shaking their heads.

Severin still is stunned by the “one-in-a-million” accident, as he calls it, which laid Lawson low in his junior year. Now and again at the hospital there is enacted a little drama. Students come and in unison kneel |and pray for Lawson’s recovery. This has been going on since the night after the Newsport News, Va., youth was hurt. Prayers are offered at the Meth- odist college at nearby Ashland, too. More than one hospital offi- cial thinks the prayers have done more than all the doctors’ arts, “We can only wait,” said a hos- pital ' superintendent. “I believe these‘prayers are keeping the boy \ alive. I believe in prayer.” FOG IS CLEARING LONDON (?—The great fog that gripped London by the throat for four choking days began blowing away this morning. A cold wind came happily out of the southwest.
