To Place Bibles In Southern Trains Bibles Will be Placed. Three leather-bound copies of the world’s “Best Seller” book, the Bible, will be placed in the club cars of The Tennessean, Southern Railway Washington- Memphis Streamliner, as the gift of H. K. Buck, of Memphis, Tenn., terminal superintendent of the Illinois Central System, it was announced in Washington today by Ernest E. Norris, president of the Southern. The handsome Bibles, eight by six inches in size, with “The Ten nessean” in gold letters on the covers, weye donated by Mr. Buck “for the pleasure and benefit of patrons of the Southern” and in memory of his mother and father. Mr. Norris said that following a trip on the streamliner between Memphis and Washington. Mr. Buck wrote J. B. McWilliams, ter minal superintendent of the Sou thern at Memphis, to compliment the southern on the pleasant and comfortable trip on The Tennes sean. The Illinois Central terminal superintendent added that during the trip he observed another pas senger in the club car request a minister to loan his Bible for a few minutes. He then noticed, he wrote, that while the car was well supplied with current magazines, it did not have a copy of the Bible available. His offer, relayed by Mr. Mc- Williams, was promptly and grate fully accepted, and the Bibles will be placed on the trains in the near future, Mr. Norris said. Patronize Your Local Merchants Diplomas Cost American Colleges Over $1,000,000 o Diplomas awarded at commence ments this year cost high schools and colleges throughout the United States more than a million dol lars, the value of the “sheepskins” varying with the workmanship and materials used. Most colleges continue to award parchment diplomas, a sheepskin prodtifct coming to the United States mostly from England, says the National Geographic, society. One parchment factory in Hamp shire, England, is said to have been in operation for a thousand years. The exact orgin of certificates for educational attainment is un certain. European diplomas go back several centuries. It is thought they originated as licenses for the practice of one of the pro fessions. Harvard college held its first commencement in 1642. Yale’s first diploma was presented in 1702. Photographs of diplomas awarded by Yale more than two centuries ago indicate they were manuscript certificates in various forms. GIVEN CUP A number of Ridgecrest friends presented Harold (Buster) Lewall en with a very handsome loving cup, commemorating his activity as chief radio master at Bikini. He was the only Ridgecrest boy, and possibly the only Western North Carolina boy there. ly/allff Mmt 1 tcranPinCTi Memos to All Editors: The anti-Roosevelts are using this: A Republican (Chicago) paper’s re porter asked Bob Hannegan: “Who’ll be your candidate in ’4B— "Nope,” Hannegan replied (don’t forget this is an alleged joke), “not strong enough. The public appar ently no like.” “Could it be Wallace?” pumped the reporter. “Hell, no! Can’t take chances with him. They think he’s a Red.” “Well,” said the scribe, “if it ain’t Truman or Wallace, who do you think it might be?” ‘Oh,” said Hannegan, “I dunno! There’s plenty of time. We’ll dig up someone.” “Oh, NO!” roared the Republi crat, “not HIM!” Prof. Manne Siegbahn’s trip here is for several confs with Einstein. He’s Sweden’s top atoman (collab ber of Lise Meitner). . . . The in fluential members on Eisenhower's staff are for “complete remobiliza tion.” ... Dr. Paul Scheffer (see clips in morgue) was once chief of nazi spy ring in Russia. Now very active here. One of the top propa gandists for “getting the U. S. into a war with Russia soon as possible.” . . . When Field Marshal Montgom ery was honor-guest (at the Barbi zon-Plaza) a man, en route to the 30th floor, was hauled back into the elevator and made to identify him self before the law in the foyer. Said to be J. D. Rockefeller Jr.! Add significant Russ-U. S. notes: The Russian purchasing commission in Washington (which numbers about 300 ex pert Soviet engineers and tech nicians) is discharging its TJ. S. employees, preparatory to shut ting down Jan. 1. That means, I’m told, the Russians do not * expect to buy from us any more the way things stand now, etc. Reminder: Great Britain and Russia signed a non-aggression treaty in 1941. Which side would. British be on in event of con flict, considering treaties are pieces of papyrus? . . . Big news expected: from Puerto Rico during next few months. Break said to come be tween Luis Munos Marin, president of the senate there and most power ful political figure in islands—and Jesus Pinero, Truman’s appointment, for the governorship . . . Cost of atombs are down tc a mere million each. That sounds expensive, but look at it this way: The entire civ ilized world can now be destroyed for less than the war cost the U. S., 70 billion. Reason Russians so cocky lately is they allegedly have cosmic ray bomb. Plan invit ing Americans and other nations to a demonstration of the new weapon in their “was of nerves.” . . . Insiders unim pressed, claiming we have a weapon that makes the Atomb obsolete. . . . Senator Bob La- Follette may head a non-gov’t committee to study all phases of modernizing the federal gov’t. This new outfit will be financed by wealthy citizens, some of whom he!d high gov’t posts during the war. N. Y. Novelette: The ABC net work had a correspondent in Tokyo. His name, Joe Julian. ... He went to Hiroshima to do a broadcast months after the atomb fell. ... As Julian walked along rubble-strewn streets he met a man o» a bike, who introduced himself. . . . “I’m the Reverend Tanimoto,” he said. ... He was of great help to the broadcaster in getting material, etc. ... A year later Julian (who is also an actor) found himself jobless. . . . Last week, while wandering about Radio city he was spotted by the director of the John Hersey- Hiroshima broadcast. Julian was engaged to read one of the parts. ... It was the role of the stranger Joe met in Hiroshima—the Rev. Tanimoto! The Late Watch: Elliott got 25 Gs for that mag series. . . . Truman (as we first hinted long ago) per sonally doesn’t want to run again. If he does, they’ll have to drag him via the draft. That explains why he is so "candid." . . . The White House is spreading happiness to the Germans in Germany and to the Republicans in America. . . . Our foreign policy is about as clear as the mud diplomats have been throw ing at each other. . . . Too many American leaders are arguing about our foreign policy instead of explain ing it. Mr. Peron’s Austrian friend, Fritz Mandl, reported inquiring about possibilities of buying a newspaper here or Philly. His Buenos Aires office is working with experts on preparations for a news syndicate and newspaper chain for Latin America. . . . Argentina will use all dollar assets to purchase mili tary equipment and machinery from U. S. . . . British and U. S. brass in Japan not hitting it off toe well. The Tommies feel they are being treated like sojers of a 2nd-rate "ower. BUY BONDS AND KEEP THEM Sidney Lanier In Hall Os Fame 0 At the tenth quinquennial elec tion’ of Americans to be placed in the assembly of the departed great, our Southland's superb musician” and famous poet was chosen as the seventy-seventh American to be so honored. A tri bute that his talents justly de manded. On October 3, the state sponsors for “Lanier for the Hall of Fame,” members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and relatives of Lanier, met for the unveiling of his bust, sculptured by Hans Schuler, a gift of the U. D. C. Mrs. John M. Wilcox of Houston, Texas, president general, present ed the bust which was unveiled by Sidney Lanier of New York, grandson of the poet. The wreath he placed before it was a gift of the White House. The sponsors had worked un-, tiringly for two quinquennials, in spired by their national chairman, Mrs. Walter D. Lamar of Macon, Ga. Their pleasant duty was to educate the public in regard to Sidney Lanier, through the press and radio by lectures at clubs and schools, and by gifts of his works to school and public libraries. Lanier produced most of his poetry while under much bodily suffering as he had been weak ened by his experiences and hard ships in the War Between the States. With “dreary unnameable pain,” poverty and disease, during the “dark raven days” of Recon struction. He fought, “pretty much the whole of life has been merely not dying.” His last days were spent in Tryon, N. C. “Gentle, and gallant, his artistic impulses overcoming all obstacles. It will be an essential part of the history of art that Sidney Lanier over came obstacles that a character less inspired or less resilient and noble could not have faced,” de clared Doctor Bowman, president of John Hopkins, “as there will always be an England,” so Lanier sang about America in his Cen tennial Canbata, the angel’s pro phecy, the greatest “reach” in the poem. The pioneer character of Lanier’s mind is shown by his having been one of the first exponents of the University investigator, the re search maker, in the modern sense, by his general scholarship; by his having been the first real pro fessor of the science of music in this country; the symphony” which is full of the motive of the cruelty of an industrialism which we were just beginning to realize; and by the catholicity of his appreciation, as he was universally interested in the development of the art movement. He outlined a system of lectures for all the large cities of our country, foreshadowing the public lectures we now enjoy, and the University Extension Cdurses, the outcome of his own individual lecture courses at Peabody, Balti more, and then at Johns Hopkins. Music fired Sidney Lanier’s im agination in his appreciation of it, his pleasure was so painful as to almost impair his nervous con SP| i jpfMeifOUS fktpipj jM,\ rt syr 'y J _•■ wjjs&jfij 1 SHI trol.
