'T t c c v & t y 'i& r t ii. By James O. Henry Chairman, History Department, BIOLA College Protestant Unity Seen The Protestant ecumenical move ment was described by a Roman Cath olic theologian in Union City N. J., as a “revolutionary change in attitude of non-Catholic bodies which are seriously trying to heal their dis harmony.” Father John L. Hardon of West Baden, Indiana, College, said that the Protestant Churches’ aware ness “ of their condition of disunity and their desire to improve it are so widespread and profound that ob servers regard it as the greatest de velopment in religious history since the Reformation.” The Jesuit made his comments in an article entitled “ The Unfinished Reformation” ap pearing in The Sign, national Catholic magazine published in Union City, N. J. He is the author of “ Christianity in Conflict,” a Catholic appraisal of Protestantism, to be published soon. Coupled with this statement is a similar one made recently in San Francisco by Anglican Bishop Falkner Allison, Lord Bishop of Chelmsford, England, in which he said he believes “ it is God’s plan that the Protestant and Catholic churches should be uni fied.” “ It is deplorable,” he said, “for Protestants to be complacent with present divisions of their Church.” He urged Protestants and Catholics to work together for unity. Such state ments as these should serve as suf ficient warning to Evangelical Protes tants of the great ecumenical move ment under way in the United States, a movement which would rob us of all evangelistic fervor. A Timely Warning Vice Admiral Hyman G. Rickover (father of our atomic Submarine de velopment) reports that his recent visit to the Soviet Union and Poland has convinced him that “ our really great race with the Soviet Union is in education.” “ The nation that wins this race will be the potentially dominant power,” he asserted in an interview upon his return from Rus sia. He added that, “ Unless we can solve our educational problems, we will have difficulty in solving other problems.” He said, “ They are cur rently graduating more qualified scientists and engineers from their universities than we are.” The Ad miral pointed out that in 1957, 1,600,000 secondary school graduates

in Russia passed an examination, “ which only about 2 per cent of American high school graduates would have been able to pass.” Its children go to school six hours a day, six days a week, ten months a year.” “ Polish students,” he said, “ do not spend their time collecting milk bottles or old newspapers or taking courses in ‘How to Find a Mate.’ Those who complete the eleven-year course and are going on to the university study one foreign language for six years and another for four years. They also have had several years of physics, chemistry, and mathematics.” The Admiral concluded his report by stating that he was not advocating that “ we copy the Soviet political system.” “ But it seems to be,” he added, “ that we in the United States who are so blessed with natural re sources and have such a high standard of living certainly should be able to give the same emphasis to education that they do.” Sugar-Cube Size radios Radios as small as sugar cubes and TV sets with all their internal com ponents housed in the rim of the pic ture frame, will be two of the end products of the “Micro-module” de veloped by the Army Signal Corps and RCA. The Army has labeled the tiny devices as “ circuit building blocks” only one-third inch on each side — or twenty-seven to the cubic inch. Using the micro-modules, re searchers already have achieved a bet ter than 10-to-l reduction in size over today’s already tiny equipment, which uses transistors and printed circuits. In the future, 20-to-l reduction is not considered impractical. Made up of wafers of material one-third of an inch square and .001” thick, the micro-modules operate as complete circuits, such as amplifiers, oscilators, and other functions.
