HOW CAN THE JEW know CHRIST STIMULUS A Jewish man heard the witness from an A. M. F. Missionary in Florida. Patiently, with an open Bible the worker focused upon the need for peace in the human heart. Then pointing out some of the 333 prophecies about the Messiah, which were fulfilled in Jesus, he turned to Isaiah 53. RESPONSE The Jewish man read of the one who was "wounded for our transgressions” . . . and by whose stripes “we are healed.” Amazed that this was not the New Testament, but his own Jewish prophet Isaiah, his preju dice was overcome. He found his own condition portrayed. Best of all he found the One upon whom the iniquity of all was laid. 365 days of the year by personal contact, by tracts, and by radio, A. M. F. missionar ies are reaching Jewish people with the message of salvation. Archie A. MacKinney, Director AMERICAN MESSIANIC FELLOWSHIP 7448 N. Damen Ave., Chicago 45, III.

The analysts do not see a change in the over-all intentions o f Communist China, the change being simply one o f tactics. U.S. Tightens Drug-Sale Rule The Federal Narcotics Bureau is tightening restrictions on the use o f the pain-reliver Percodan. The drug is said to have caused one-fourth of all known drug addiction in Califor nia. A bureau spokesman disclosed recently that an announcement for bidding the sale o f the analgesic when prescribed by telephone would be published in the Federal Register soon. “ We’re satisfied after a year’s study that there has been an abuse o f oral prescriptions as regards Per codan,” Carl de Baggio, the bureau’s ch ief counsel, said. “ We want to nip this thing in the bud and avert what might develop into a serious situa tion.” Forty-six states out o f 50 until now have permitted Percodan to be prescribed to a druggist by a physi cian over the phone. Now written prescriptions will be required fo r it everywhere. C. Northcote Parkinson has come up with another economic “ law,” embroiling himself in British poli tics. The 54-year old former history professor formulated the laws sev eral years ago that expenditure rises to meet income and that work ex pands to fill the time available. Now he says all nationalized industries have a tendency to go bankrupt. He advanced the idea at a recent lunch eon sponsored by Aims o f Industry, a group supported by big business. The group is starting a propaganda campaign against what it says is the Labor Party’s policy o f complete state ownership and control o f in dustry. Professor Parkinson said na tionalized industries had a “ built-in trend toward bankruptcy” because the more an industry was identified with the government the less chance it had to economize on wages and salaries.

Soviet Publishes Two Kafka Stories The January issue o f Foreign L it erature, the popular Soviet magazine which offers a supervised keyhole to look at Western literature, has been in heavy demand. For the first time in Soviet history, it offers transla tions from Franz Kaka’s work. The publication has been accompanied by official protestations that the appear ance o f writings long barred in the Soviet Union did not necessarily mean a shift in the ideological atti tude toward the writer, who died in 1924 at the age o f 40. Observers view this change as an attempted de- Stalinization o f literature in the last five or six years. Red China Easing Global Tactics Communist China, s e e k in g to break out o f its relative isolation in the world community, has become more flexible in the tactics o f its in ternational relations. Western diplo matic analysts said this trend be came discernible in the latter part o f the last year and has now taken more definite form. The chief aim o f the new tactics was said to have been emphasized by Mao Tze-tung, chairman o f the Chinese Communist party, in his statement recently on the dispute in the Panama Canal Zone. The Peking leader urged the “ broadest united front” o f nations against the United States global poli cies. One analyst summed up the con clusion o f an official study o f the new look in Peking’s foreign policy by saying that the Chinese Commu nists were trying to enlist support by being “ all things to all people.” The recent good-will tour o f A frica made by Premier Chou En-lai was seen as a manifestation o f the urgent need felt by Peking to acquire more friends and allies. The analysts have cited four major factors in Peking’s growing sense o f isolation. There are the United States opposition to the diplomatic recognition o f Communist China and to its entrance into the United Nations, Peking’s ideologi cal dispute with Moscow, the Chi- nese-Indian border dispute, and the Chinese Communist denunciation o f the treaty for a limited nuclear test
