mately $300,000,000, making
the authorizaUon $3,630,-
000,000. Since the space pro
gram has begun, it is esti
mated that this nation has in
vested over $41,000,000,000.
Included in this program is
approximately $23.8 billion
for the ApoUo moon shots. I
have come to the conclusion
that as exciting as the ex
ploration into space might be,
we must consider the cost as
it relates to the total results.
Also, we must not lose sight
of priorities at the expense of
human life here on earth as

get, for example, it is shock
ing to learn that not one dol
lar has been requested for
hospital construction under
the HiU-fiurton Act, and this
at a time when the nation is
faced with an acute shortage
of hospital space. A further
threat in this area is that
even if Congress should ap
propriate construction funds,
under executive order they
would not be spent. Also
there is the glaring need for
' housing, as many are forced
to live in substandard dwell
ings and there are ■ many,
other areas equally as dra
matic. For this and other
reasons, on final passage I
cast a “no” vote for this au
thorization. Here again, based
on the question of priorities.
Another subject causing a
great amount es conversation
and speculation here in Wash
ington was the conduct of Su
preme Court Justice William
O. Douglas. I joined with
other members of the House
a few days ago in introduc
ing a resolution to create a
: bi-partisan committee to in
vestigate his conduct to see
if such is justified to initi
ate impeachment proceedings.
The Constitution clearly states
. that one of the conditions for
a federal judge to occupy his
office is that “they shall hold
their offices during good be
haviour.”
I So the question arises as to
what constitutes good be
haviour. Is it proper for a
member of the Supreme Court
to accept $12,000 a year in
fees from a foundation which
is known to have direct ties
with the gambling dynasty in
Las Vegas? Is it proper for
a member of the court to par
ticipate in decisions regarding
pornographic literature when
he has received a fee for an
article appearing in the same
type publication? Finally,
should one in this position
publish books to some degree
advocating under certain con
ditions, revolution and vio
lence?
In view of the extreme
close scrutiny that the United
States Senate has given to
the last two nominees for the
Supremo Court, I think it in
order that the United States
Congress conduct an impar
tial investigation as to the
fitness of Justice Douglas.

FROM PERSECUTOR TO WORLD
MISSIONARY
International Sunday School Lesson for May 3
Memory Selection: “Rise, and stand upon thy
feet; for I have appeared unto thee for this pur
pose, to make thee a minister and a witness both
of these things which thou hast seen, and of
those things in the which I will appear unto
thee."—Acts 26:16.
Lesson Text: Acts 9:1-31; 11:19-30; Galatians
1:11-17.
An avid student of the Bible—God’s Word
will readily realize that God has a special way
with those who would gainsay His existence; He
turns them into friends, and thereby recruits
missionaries to His cause—the redemption of
mankind. Such was the case with Saul of Tarsus.
A disclaimer of God, a persecutor of those who
professed to the Christian faith, in the begin
ning, he nevertheless, after his conversion, be
came an eloquent advocator of that which he
had hitherto despised.
■lndeed, Saul (or Paul) became one of the
greatest advocates cif Christianity the most
well-know, the most quoted. Such is the change
God can wreak in one’s life, if one is but wilhng.
At the time in which our story is set, the uni
versal implications of Christianity were not, ne
cessarily, recognized. Every empire has been
born of strife and suffering; Christ’s empire was
no exception. The spread of Christianity and its
concepts from a solely Jewish circle to one which
embraced all mankind was not without its haz
ards and its travail.
But out of this turmoil was the first Christian
church bom; and it was held together—it and its
subsequent satellites—by the strength and will
power, and belief, of the converted persecutor
of its concepts. For Paul’s letters to the widely
dispersed churches, from his place of imprison
ment, are amongst the most inspiring words
ever known to man.
So was the first inter-racial church established.
Judaism became Christianity.
How many o£ us are like Saul—or Paul? True,
we might not persecute and deride those whose
beliefs are different from our own individual
beliefs; but how many of us are possessed of a
spirit of rebellion—against the demands the ac
cepted concepts of Christianity imposes upon us?
Alas, too many!
We resent the time we are encouraged to
spend in worship and in carrying the Message
to the ignorant around us; we resent the restric
tions imposed upon us which represent a sublim
ation of our spirit —for we are human, and
therefore weak.
But God has away of gainsaying our frailities.
And perhaps His most efficacious way is through
our conscience—that irrefutable, nebulous thing
that tells us what is right and what is wrong—
a built-in “alarm system.” The man has not yet
been born that does not possess that “alarm sys
tem.” This is what worked towards Saul’s con
version; this is what turned a known persecutor

_ In a nation as big as ours there is always
V7f I■ ■ I M a tendency to overlook the individual and to

this-generalizing.
mBWM Many of our boys and girls are delinquent.

WofwM t ® v#r Y child '* a potential delinquent.
Cv wWm M mM’M Time we realized that children aren't chicks!
They don't grow up by the drawerful to have
the same characteristics and habits.
©Children respond to love, parental ex
ample, religious guidance. They possess an
ever-increasing aptitude for responsibility,
trust, and faith.
Most of our boys and girls will grow up to
assume their rightful place in an orderly, Chris
tian society. Some will populate our jails. But
the destiny of the individual youth is not a
matter of chance and percentage . . .
It is determined primarily by the consci

sistency with which his natural religious inter
