Carrying Religion Too Far
Early this month Hindus from all parts of
. the world converged on a small strip of land
at the confluence of the Ganges and Kumma
rivers. The idea, a belief of the Hindu religion,
is that bathing in the river spares bathers the
pangs of re-birth into a reincarnation.
With all this we have no argument. Dif
ferent peoples, in different areas of the world,
have long had different religions and no one
can say that his religion holds all the anwers
and that the other man’s religion is all wet.
Ip fact, this very tendency of the religious
fanatics and narrow-minded, is the cause of
many wars and much suffering throughout
the history of the world.
On the other hand, the results of the mass
ing on the Ganges in India was the most tragic
and cost the lives of perhaps 1,000 Hindus.
The worst part of it is that any of the Hindus
perhaps risked death, believing that death at
this time was almost equivalent to a direct
passage to Heaven.
; Therefore, when the exact hour that the
astrologers had said would be the perfect time
tp bathe arrived masses of the Hindus sud
■■■ i . ........
denly began moving in bodies to the nver
bank. Shortly before a procession of religious
officials and other higher-ups had proceeded
the bank of the river on elephant.
As the mob gathered momentum and lost
control, they met the column of elephants
and officials returning, and soon a melee
developed which left in its wake, a carnage.
The onsurge of the crowds pushed helpless
thousands into the water and drowned them.
After the scramble was over, fatalites were
estimated at a thousand. Another thousand
were injured.
Such stampedes and death have occurred
often at religious observances. While .it may
be a tribute to the faith of some of those who
died, many of them undoubtedly died unwill
ingly, and one cannot imagine a more, useless
sacrifice from either the human 01; heavenly
concept.
The U. N. And Security
Sometimes one wonders whether it is
much of an advantage having the United Na
tions located in this country. The latest ques
tion raising doubts on this score is the securi
ty check policies being used and 'not used
against U. N. employers.
Congress, some committees, and even pri
vate organizations, have charged that U. N.
employes were not properly screened before
being hired. Since New York City seems to be
the roosting place for many American Com
munists, it is natural to assume that the Reds
make every effort to get their followers U.
N. jobs.
Not long ago it wds charged by a congres
sional committee that many Americans work
ing for the U. N. were of questionable stand
ing so far as security matters were concern
ed. Finally a system was set up whereby these
Americans were to be screened before being
hired.
That process is now being followed. The
catch is that foreign nationals are not so
screened. Thus foreign nationals doing the
same thing as Americans are not checked on
security, while the Americans are—and th<j
checking takes time—time which meanwhile
puts someone else in the open job.
The Secretary General, Dag Hammarskj
t>ld, is generally in charge of employment. The
United States doesn’t have control over em
ployment policies directly, 'only exercising
visa control, but this is a vague and loose ar
rangement, whereby American citizens must
submit to security checks (which they should)
and foreign nationals need not. It is therefore
a little easier to hire a foreign national.
It is an unsatisfactory situation, about
which nothing can be done.
News For Veterans
During the past decade, the
World War Two GI Bill has helped
build up. the nation’s reservoirs of
trained manpower in fields rang
ing from atomic physics to air
plane mechanics and from medi
cine to the ministry.
This fact was disclosed in a
special research study, released by
the Veteran’s Administration, of
the 7,800,000 veterans who had re
ceived GI Bill training since the
program began in June, 1944. This
total represents more than half of
all veterans who served in World
War Two.
According to the study, 2,600,000
veterans trained as skilled craft
men. Another 1,500,000 studied for
the professions; 700,000 took Gf
training in fields of management
and business administration. More
than 750,000 enrolled in institution
al on-farm training, a combina
tion of classroom study and practi
cal experience on the farm.
A total of 434,000 trained for
Clerical and sales jobs—secretar
ies, stenographers, business ma
chine operators, insurance sales
men, bank clerks, and the like.
GI high school and grade school
students numbered nearly 300,000,
many of whom went on to more
specialized training.
The rest of the veterans trained
for nearly all the remaining major
occupations at which man earns his
living. For the most part, the VA
study reported, these were occu
pations also demanding a high de
gree of skill and ability.
Of the 2,600,000 craftsmen who
learned their skills under the GI
Bill, the largest proportion—711,
000, or 38 per cent—studied me
chanics; automobile mechanics
was most popular, and aircraft me
chanics ran second.
