Scan* at hug# munition work*.
Senator Gerald P. Nye
Drastic regulations to curb manu
facture of munitions and arma
ments are proposed by Senator
Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota,
chairman of the senate munitions
investigation. Nye would levy a
99 per cent tax daring war times
on all incomes over $10,000 a
year, the levy to apply on earn
ings in excess of the exemption.
He has gone on record in favor
of “strong domestic control”, or
nationalization of armament man
ufacture if that fails. Kye says
that munition manufacturers have
made the industry a “racket” and
have used the U. S. navy as “a
salesman’s sample case”,.

Nebuchadnezzar s Ma rch

By Newly-Found Writings
JERUSALEM, March 15. (*»►—
(Palcor Agency)—Prof. Harry Tor
cznyer, expert on Semitic language*
of the Hebrew University of Jeru
salem. said Prlday that 12 Inscribed
potsherds found several days ago
at Te! Adduwclr, ancient Lachlsh.
by J. L. Starkey, head of the Well
come archaedologlcal research ex
pedition, date back definitely to
the time of Erenuah. 2500 yean
ago.
Professor Torcznyer said a re
markable aspect of the script was
that it appears to be written in or
dinary Ink, such as might be used
today and that the discovery Is
“the most valuable find ever made
In the period of the First Temple.
Dr. 8tarkey has entrusted the
task of deciphering the important
fragments to Professor Torcznyer.
The latter stated that the dis
covery of tne site of ancient Lach
lsh. greatest fortress In the southern
area of the kingdom of Judah, adds
irrefutable testimony of the ac
curacy of the Bible In its account
of the period of the Kings It was
declared that this newest find, en
riching the facts already assem
bled by archaeology, will go a far
way toward causing a revision of
the skeptical attitude toward the
Biblical accounts which prevails In
some quarters.
Lachish was the fortress which
offered resistance to Nebuchadnez
zar. king of Babylon, when he swept
down upon Judah after King Zede
klah had renounced the allegiance
of his kingdom to Babylon. Jere
miah was the great prophet of that
era. He had been preaching dur.
ing the reigns of Joslah, Jehnahax.
Jehoisklm. Jeholachin until the
days of Zedekiah. covering the pe
riod between 638 B. C. and 303 B C.
According to Professor Torcznyer
potsherds are likely to throw extra
ordinary ll.ht on the existing
knowledge of Jeremiah’s time. The
Starkey discovery represents one of
the few extrs-Blbllcal documents
on scripture.
