(Continued from Page 8) built. But Moses had learned most of the laws contained in the Ten Co.mmandments when yet a boy, from the Code of Hammurabi, which had been in existence and kriown to all scholars for hundreds of years before Moses was born. There werc 42 commandments in Hammurabi's Code. Like Moses, old Ham had announced, centuries before as did Moses centuries later, that HIS Code was handed him ready made by the Lord. I'm not questioning anyone's veracity, you understand. Just quoting from the record.

Thinking men all agree that since the beginning of religious thought in this world, men have always created their own particular gods in their own likenesses. Savage men had savage gods, etc. The great thinker,. Spinoza, commenting on that fact, remarked that if a triangle were to describe God, it would describe Him as triangular, if a circle tried it He would be described as circular. etc. Get the idea? ***
A remark I often hear-you probably do also-is, "wonder what Will Rogers would say if he were here today to witness our domestic confusion?" I don't know what he WOULD say, but I know one thing he DID say that would seem to cover a very controversial subject now before the Congress. He said: "If a man hasn't made a success of his own business we don't want him practicing on ours." That seems to cover the Henry Wallace case pretty thoroughly. Henry practiced on a much smaller part of our business a few years back, and food and clothing have been scarce and high ever since.
One of the most momentous events in the history of the human race took place with the exact suddenness of an explosion on January tenth, 1901, when the Spindle Top oil well came in at Beaumont, Texas. There are plenty of people who do not realize that the oil industry came to life on that day at that time, and that the world we see around us is the direct result o{ that event. Before that the only petroleum known came in dribbles from the Drake well in Pennsylvania. It was called rock oil, and was used for oil lamps, and to some extent in medicine. With Spindle Top, (the first gusher came in at the rate of 70,000 barrels a day), a new world was born. Look about you and see the results. Everything that operates from petroleum products, started at Spindle Top. Every g€s or oil motor, every Jeep, every tank, every ship, every train, every plane-yes, every 'bomb that bursts-started at Spindle Top. What an event !
And I want you to know that a lumberman of that day had muclr to do with the discovery. The man whose vision finally resulted in Spindle Top was Patillo Higgins who had been trying for fifteen years before that to get the money and land to drill for oil. People thought him a crackpot, and refused him aid. Then George W. Carroll, a Beaumont lumber manufacturer, put up the money to start the venture. The rest is history. Mr. Carroll has been dead for many years. But.his folO"*live after'him.
The times are so filled with events of overwhelming importance that some that would otherwise shake the world awaken less than the enthusiasm they deserve. But when history is written by men looking backwards, perspectives now distorted will be adjusted. With the Russians driving to the heart of Germany at the same time, the return of MacArthur to Luzon had to.share public interest with gigantic news. Yet what a spectacular, romantic, amazing thing that was ! The man who fled frorn Manila for his life and took refuge in Australia, told the world that he "would be back." And when he returned, a page was written in American histqry that will never be overshadowed by any other military event. He had accomplished military feats that make Hannibal's campaign over the Alps against Rome, look like child's play by comparison; he had achieved successes that the world will talk about in hushed admiration from. this time on.

A few days before he marched with his men into reconquered Manila, he was 65 years old. He did not celebrhte the event, but in the days to come the world will do so for him. His return to the Philippines as a conquering hero was one of the most inspiring events ever painted by the Great Artist upon the canvas of human events. Watch the hero-worshipping American people place a halo of everlasting glory around the head of Douglas MacArthur. He richly deserves it. While I yield to no man in my enthusiastic admiration for our other magnificent American officers who lead our forces around the world-I think it is the greatest group of fighting leaders the world has produced-in my judgment the name of Douglas MacArthur, like that of Abou Ben Adhem, leads all the rest. I consider him far and away the greatest living American, judged from every possible standpoint, measured in every conceivable way. The man who said he would go back to the Philippines, and kept his word in spite of insurmountable difficulties, is already immortal.
