A STRANGE ERROR CREPT INTO YOUR REPORT OF SIR STAFFORD CRIPPS'S SERMON IN ST. PAUL'S [TIME, JAN. 16]. ACCORDING TO STORY ["VOICES IN THE EXCHEQUER"], NEWSMAN ASKED ABOUT ABSURD RUMOR THAT CRIPPS HEARS DIVINE VOICES, AND CRIPPS REPLIED "l
DON'T THINK SO AT LEAST NOT YET." IN FACT
NEWSMAN YOU MENTION DID NOT, REPEAT NOT, INTERVIEW HIM ON THIS SUBJECT. THE REMARK WAS ACTUALLY MADE BY ONE OF CRIPPS'S ADMIRERS.

New Mice for Old
Sir:
Geoffrey Hall is not the only person who thinks the world needs "a bowdlerized version of Mother Goose" [TIME, Jan. 9]. Our 3½ year-old daughter has her own version of Three Blind Mice, which is Three Blonde Mice . . . Maybe the children are working for a happier future, too.
