The Civil Defense Administration asked for $125,000,000 in the last session of Congress and received | only $46,500,000. Peterson said next year’s program, despite the great- ly increased appropriation, was a modest one which was altogether necessary. He said if the American people realized the danger they faced, concerning the possibility | of atomic attack, they would see to it that the money was provided. Much of the money would be used to build up sup- Plies of medicine and equipment to help citizens fight fires and treat victims in communities which suffer from sudden enemy attack, Peterson also said that the best way to avoid casual- ties in an atomic attack was to remove “the people from areas of probable attack through the aid of an adequate warning system”. Distance, he contends, is the only way a citizen can avoid destruction from an atomic attack, if it comes close enough to home. department of anthropology of the! {of human evolution at all.

His re-} moval, instead of weakening, in| effect strengthens our knowledge of the evolutionary pracess.” Prof. Ernst A. Hooton of Har- vard, one of the world’s most fa- mous anthropologists, says the} hoax “doesn't disturb our ideas) tight that the head is a fake, it| loses all its significance and re-| moves a very puzziing link.” In Egnaldn, Piltdown’s time- stained skull and ape-like jawbone have become the butt of cartoon-| ist’s jibes and comedians’ jokes.

In fact, it is even possible that Mr. Finch may be able to cite Holy Writ in order to substan- tiate his unwarranted attack on me. Mr. Finch wants to know if I am evil itself? In Mat. 19:17, Mr. Finch will find that “there is none good but one, that is, God”. Mr. Finch claims that all decent persons hold ideas like mine in abhorrence. May I ask Mr. Finch who gave! him the authority to act as the spokesman for “all” de-| ent persons and by what standards does he evaluate the! decent” and the “indecent”? And just what ideas do I| possess, Mr. Finch, that “all decent persons should hold! them in abhorrence?” Mr. Finch wants to know if I am willing for my| wife, my mother and my sisters to become inmates of | a house of prostitution and if I am not “how in the name} of all that is decent can I be willing to see other women) lead such a life?” Frankly, in answer to this question I} don’t see how my willingness or my non-willingness has/ anything to do with the existence of prostitutes. Since | the earliest recorded time there have been prostitutes’ and when Hector Barroso is dead and buried there will be prostitutes. My wife, my mother and my sisters have no interest in a life of prostitution. If they had, my wife | would be a prostitute and not my wife and my mother | would not be a happy grandmother today if she had chosen that way of life: And my five sisters wouldn’t be! here on Earth today rearing their many children. In| fact, Hector Barroso wouldn’t be here. Does that.answer your question, Mr. Finch? I consider myself a Christian, Mr. Finch, but I am |not blind to the fact that out of 160 million Americans only about 50 per cent are church members. Perhaps the reason these many millions do not attend church is because they cannot stomach the hypocrisy of so many so-called “Christians”. I am sure, Mr. Finch, that you consider yourself a Christian; therefore, I want you to know that I will sup- port you 100 per cent in any bona fide Christian endeavor.

Chapter 38), When Samson went to Gaza he had an affair with a prostitute. (Judges 16:1), When the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock there were prosti« tutes aboard. In fact, if you read the history of this country (or of any country, for that matter) you will find prostitutes plying their trade with the best and worst of men, You may outlaw prostitution but you cannot stop it. You can’t stop anything for which there is a demand, And men have been demanding prostitutes as long ag there have been men. Why do you think it is called the world’s oldest profession? The Navy is not too much concerned with the morals of their men because Navy morals are every bit as good as Civilian morals, What the Navy is greatly concerned about is the health of their men, Venereal Diseases may be wiped out but they cannot be wiped out when prosti- tution is out of control, I am not about to judge prostitutes nor am I about to condemn them.

In the living- room there was a small bookcase, two top shelves filled with mis- cellaneous volumes and two bot- tom ones with magazines, scrap- books and cardboard boxes of un- classified newspaper clippings.
