Free License To Blind Don’t Take In Auto License Raleigh, April 27.—(AP) —The at torney general’s office ruled today that laws granting blind persons free State privilege licenses do not entitle them to automobile licenses.

The laws do not exempt blind per sons from automobile license taxes, either for private cars or lor cars used for hire, and that exemptions are intended “only to provide for free license lor the privilege of en gaging in some trade or profession.” Free permits may only be given to persons having a net income from the business of less than SI2OO a year. New Testament Is Hope of War-Scared World, Foot Says Kansas City, April 27. —(AP) —A British “local preacher” who a few days ago saw babies being fitted with gas masks called today for “a return to the New Testament” as the hope of a war-scared world. “The church has a message and there is no better time to have it”, added the Rev. Isaac Foot, of Ply mouth, England, in an address to the Methodist Uniting Conference here. Foot, a former member of Par liament, is a layman and president of the Methodist Sunday School As sociation of Great Britain. The conference was called to per fect a unity for a new Methodist church made up of the present Meth odist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal South, and Methodist Protestant branches. “In a world dominated by the code of the wolf pack “Foot said, “a world in which gas masks have become a standard item of domestic equip ment, the Christian church offers the hope and promise of fellowship.” “There must be a return to the New Testament. The political leaders of the world will have to return to the New Testament and to the church before they can find a permanent solution.” American Methodists, Foot said, through a “tradition of fellowship in j diversity” are equipped to promote [ “the recovery of fellowship.” PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY.
