THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C Mission to Saudi-Arabia A N ULTRA hush-hush military mission left recently for Saudi- Arabia. Just what this group of about 200 American officers and technical sergeants will do in Arabia is supposed to be a strict .secret, but real fact is they are to train an Arab air force and re equip abandoned U. S. air fields. Why this secret mission is leaving i«t this time is not known, but be hind their trip is an agreement with King Ibn Saud by which he gives a pipeline concession to the Arabian- American Oil company. Members of the military mis sion were selected after elabo rate screening tests, then given instruction in the Arabic lan guage, espionage and demoli tion work. The group left from Washington, New York and Miami, all wearing civilian clothes. In order not to attract attention, they will proceed In small details and by round-about routes. For instance, one detail will go to Paris, then Germany, then Greece and finally to the Arabian-Iranian border. GOP Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire was comment ing to colleagues about Presi dent Truman’s failure to men tion the civil rights program in his Jackson Day speech. “The Demoorats,” quoth Bridges, “are haunted by the past, befuddled by the present and terrified by the Henry Wal lace future.” y <- Another Red Circle? YOU CAN PUT a red circle around April 18 as the next big day for Red Russia. That's the date of the Italian elections and the date when the Communists will attempt their next Czechoslovakia. The Russian goal in Italy is to win 40 per cent of the April ballot ing. If so, they will attempt to move all other political parties out of the cabinet and take over Italy com pletely. In preparation, a secret Bed battalion of about 250,000 men, including Yugoslavs, has moved into northern Italy and infil trated into key places. Meanwhile also, the Russians are spending millions of lira in Italy. Money is being pumped in as never before to undo the results of the Friendship Train and other Ameri can relief to Italy. Most important fact about the Soviet money is that It’s spent where it counts most. Much of it goes to subsidize key labor leaders. In contrast, the American propa ganda funds were cut to the bone by congress last year. Next step in army-navy unifi cation will be merger of army- navy water transportation. Most people don’t know it but the army actually keeps more ves sels afloat than the navy—2,953. This is 300 more than the navy’s total fleet. On top of this, the air force operates an additional 350 vessels. The Picture Changes DURING THE FIRST FEW MONTHS Harry Truman spent in the White House, he kept insisting to friends that he did not want to run for a second term. One term was enough; he wanted to get back to his old love — being a senator from Missouri. Mrs. Truman — who carries a great deal more weight with the President than most people suspect —felt exactly the same way, pos sibly more so. At that time, however, Mr. Tru man’s close friends and political leaders felt just the opposite. They were determined that he should run again, believed he was the only can didate with whom the Democrats would win. Now, however, the situation is somewhat reversed. Today the political leaders desperately don’t want Mr. Truman to run, but are afraid he has the bit in his teeth and can’t be persuaded to bow out. Bob Hannegan, the man who two years ago repeatedly denied that Mr. Truman would not run again and who was the first to propose his name publicly for reelection, now is privately sorry he ever made the suggestion. Ed Flynn of the Bronx, who helped nominate Mr. Truman at the 1944 Chicago convention, also is convinced thab Mr. Truman’s name on the ticket means certain defeat. Southern leaders, of course, are not even private about it. They want to junk him at any cost. But although Mr. Truman two years ago would have been quite in the mood to bow out, today it may be different. After all, human na ture is human nature, and Harry Truman is known to be a stubborn man. Sometimes when his friends, such as Tom Pendergast or Ed Pauley or Gen. Wallace Graham, are under fire, he has gone to ex treme lengths to buck outraged pub lic opinion. n (LPhiHipr Food for Thought “Design Your Food to Suit Your Background,” said a heading in one of those home magazines, and it set us to thinking at once. Our vittles had been more or less unsatisfac tory; could it be that they were not linked with the right background? * The article read: “You want to serve a thick pheasant soup, french bread, cheese and a tossed salad. Nothing wrong with that, if you’ve got pottery petite Marmite (or something comparable), a woven breadbasket, a big wooden salad bowl, a substantial cheeseboard and some colorful table mats or cloths. But if your yen is for a green turtle soup with sherry, trout. Amandine, broccoli Hollandaise, endive and an almond souffle, you can bring out translucent china, sparkling crystal and sheer organdy. There must be a sense of fitness between what is served and your table acces sories.” * Maybe tbat explained some of our dissatisfaction eating at home or oat; the china £adn’t been translucent with those fish dinners. And what of the or gandy? • "The texture and quality of the food must have the same degree of fineness as the table settings,” the article went on. "The color of your food in relation to the table service Is a consideration. You must ask whether you wish to feature the food or the table. There will be times when you want to play up the back ground and play down the food.” * That explained everything. Those lunchrooms hadn’t been considering color harmony be tween chow and table decora tions at all . . . we had, in fact, had lunch that day in a place where they had played down both the food and the background. And at home this could be the trouble, too. We called in the wife. * The Little Woman crowned us with something that was not, obviously, translucent crystal. When we re covered our senses we were having hamburger, with a catch-as-catch- can background, a complete neglect of design and no regard for color harmony. No Amandine, no woven basket. But the catsup matched the mood. BOSS SHE-NAZI... Although pre sumed dead long ago, Frau‘Ger trude Scholtz-Klink, head of the women’s branch of the Nazi party in Germany, turned out to be very much alive. She was seized by U. S. agents in French zone of Germany. CAMPAIGNING FOR HENRY . . . Henry WaUace might not be the next U. S. president, but you can’t convince his backers of that. Here, : getting together for a conference in the newly opened New York head- j quarters of the Wallace-for-President movement are (left to right) campaigners Jo Davidson, famed sculptor; Rexford G. Tugwell; Sen. Glen H. Taylor (Dem., Ida.), prospective running mate for Wallace, | and C. B. Baldwin, campaign manager. APARTMENT LIFE Radiators Were meant for heat But mine was made To deep-freeze meat. James Fisher. ‘Anybody could have seen that commodity prices were bound to drop.”—Mr. Maynard, that Chicago speculator who made a killing. * Anybody except the government. • • • The Ku Klux Klanners are making war on a football coach. They want him to mask his plays, no doubt. And possi bly play night games without lights. • • • Fritz Kuhn, famous bund leader hi the prewar days, has escaped from a detention camp in Germany. What of it? The one thing this fellow is wholly incapable of is improving his position. • • • Jimmy Byrnes has been made a director of Newmont Mining corpor ation. From his experience with the Big Four he should know all about being down with a pick in a deep hole trusting to luck. The appoint ment should answer Russia’s ques tion whether he is vegetable or min eral. • • • New York Medical college has completed experiments showing that on 900 calories a day a man can keep in good shape for 40 days. A lot of restaurants seem to be con centrating on a similar experiment. • • • Admiral Simitz has retired but no successor in the world is young looking enough not to look his senior. • • • A new comet is reported with fiery streamers 50 million miles long. On the other hand it could just be a disturbance created by some fellow who ordered two soft boiled eggs and got a check for 60 cents. • • • Hollywood is planning a sequel to ‘The Jolson Story.’ ” — News item. * Son of Jolson? * • * “This decision reflects no lack of confidence, no dissatisfaction with you in any respect or any disagree ment with your official actions”— From the President’s letter remov ing Marriner Eccles as head of the Federal Reserve board. * Just Don’t Like his haircut, eh? * * * An eastern commissioner of edu cation thinks it is just ducky to have a Communist teaching in our public schools. He favors, it would seem, the Little “Reds’ ” Sehoolhouse. CAPACITY TO BOUNCE BACK . . . This is a scene of courage. A visiting basketball team of paralyzed veterans from the West coast beat another team from the Bronx Kingsbridge hospital by a 29-22 score. All the players competed from wheel-chairs and put out a brand of good, hard basketball throughout the game. AMBITIOUS . . . Because Dennis Corbett, three, of Evansville, Ind., wants to be a lawyer, despite the fact that he was born without arms and legs, friends have formed the “Underprivileged Service, Inc.” to see that he gets an education, as well as physical aids. NATURE'S CHURCH . . . Towering, vivid-red limestone rocks sil houetted against a glorious sunrise sky of red, blue and gold create an awe-inspiring setting for the annual Easter sunrise service in Colo rado’s Garden of the Gods. ' ‘NOW . . .THERE WAS A GARDEN’ Easter Sunrise Service Set In Church Carved by Nature WNU 'Features. COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.—Just as on the sunrise of the first Eastern morn when a magnificent hope, confidence and faith dawned upon a discouraged group of men and wom en, so will some 30,000 worshipers gain renewed hope and courage from the 28th annual presentation of the Easter sun rise service ih a church fashioned a million or more years ago by nature—the inspiring Garden of the Gods near Colo rado Springs. ”— in a setting of immeasur-^ BOMB HEAD . . . Col. Kenneth D. Nichols has been appointed to succeed Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves as chief of the armed forces special weapons project which developed the atomic bomb. BOTTOM RUNG REVISITED ... Fifty-four years ago a youngster with nothing but a little hope and the ability to play a lot of baseball boarded a train caboose at Pittsburgh and bummed a ride to Steuben ville, Ohio, to seek his fortune on the diamond. He was Honus Wagner, now 74 years old, who became one of the all-time baseball greats. Here, on his 74th birthday, he re-enacts the caboose incident. PINHEAD . . . Marshall T. New man, associate curator of physical anthropology at Smithsonian insti tute, measures skull of an original “pinhead,” a prehistoric Indian in fant whose bead was deliberately deformed. Here, able beauty, amidst the towering limestone shafts of the cathedral spires looming to fantastic angles of more than 300 feet, with the bril- liai# red of the rocks bathed in a golden light of an early Colorado sunrise, and with majestic, snow capped Pikes Peak serving as back drop, the Rev. Thomas Dick Jr. will give the annual Easter message. "The constellation of ideas gathered around the Easter faith is almost over* powering in its daring. . . . Truth is stronger than falsehood; good con quers evil; love is stronger than hatred; human beings are of worth'and dig nity; God is an unfailing source of se curity; life is victor over death." These thoughts constitute the theme of Mr. Dick’s sermon. , Acoustically, and to the eye, the church which nature carved out in the Garden of the Gods is more magnificent than any since erected by mortal man. The spectacle of 30,000 people, massed together in this natural, awe-inspiring setting, is a colorful, incredible sight, lend ing true religious significance to this Easter sunrise service deep in the heart of the Rocky mountains. Founded 28 Years Ago. The Colorado Springs Ministerial alliance, founder of the Garden of the Gods Easter service 28 years ago, again will sponsor the rites. The service will be carried to radio worshipers coast to coast over the Columbia network from 6:30 to 7 a. m., Mountain Standard Time, originating from Station KVOR of Colorado Springs. As in previous years, the Garden of the Gods service will be predomi nantly musical. The Colorado Springs 300-voice a cappella choir will be featured. The choir, under J direction of Frank Gilles, is nation ally famous, having won first place in the National Choral society con test several times. Traditional with the service for many years is tenor Bernard Ves- sey, who has been singing on the Easter sunrise services for more than a quarter century. Vessey 1 came to Colorado Springs from the East for his health. His solo, “Open the Gates of the Temple” which he sings every year, is a favorite of thousands of music lovers. Mrs. Verda Lawrie, Colorado Springs, is organist. The Garden of the Gods, spa cious, garden of overturned lime stone rocks, was revered by Ute Indians as a holy place for their god Manitou long before the coming of the white man. The big rocks, according to the In dians, are barbaric hosts of gi ants which in prehistoric times threatened their domain. The Utes prayed to their god Mani tou who lived at the top of Holy Mount (Pikes Peak) and who answered their prayers by caus ing the giants and the mon strous beasts accompanying them to turn to stone, i Geologically, the explanation is 1 much simpler. In prehistoric times, the same earth-shaking movements 1 that formed the Rocky mountains caused an upthrust of limestone which extends underground from Canada to Mexico. However, it is only in the Colorado Springs Gar den of the Gods that this limestone segment upthrust shows predomi nantly above ground. In 1921, the Rev. A. W. Luce of the First Christian church (now re tired) was walking through the Gar den of the Gods, his Bible in hand, trying to get an inspiration for his Easter sermon. Opening his Bible to the Book of John he read; "Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, there they laid Jesus.” While reading this his eyes fell on three gigantic shafts of rock which closely resembled cathedral spires. The inspiration came to him that here in the beauty, splen dor and solitude of the Garden of the Gods was the ideal place to gather for worship and to ob serve the day in which Christ was resurrected. This inspiration became a reality and the fcrst Easter service was held with some 700 worshipers at tending. The audience has been growing ever since, now estimated to be more than 30,000. In addition to the thousands who receive in spiration from actually attending tho service, countless others are able to benefit spiritually from this Easter message by dialing the serv ice on their radio. The noted Dr. S. Parkes Cadman once stated that unless a person were to go to Jeru salem where the first Easter actu ally occurred, he could find no more appropriate setting than the Garden of the Gods, with thousands of peo ple massed together in the natural valley surrounded by towering peaks. The Garden of the Gods was a part of public domain until 1879 when it was bought by Charles E. Perkins, an eastern railroad tycoon. He intended to build a home there, but, on more leisurely inspection, decided that no vork of man should spoil the beauty of this natural gar den. Court Levies Fines On Installments DENVER, COLO.—Taking their cue from the dollar down and dollar a week book. Judges Hubert Henry and Frank Hickey have inaugu rated an easy payment plan for fines assessed in municipal court. The plan in one month brought in more than $1,800 that otherwise might have been paid off in jail sentences. The system works like any other credit plan. A man’s financial status is investigated before credit is al lowed. However, if an offender runs up his bill by coming back on a sec ond offense before paying off the first fine, he automatically goes to jail. One-Legged Vet Serves With Fire Department WORCESTER, MASS.—Although he has only one leg, Frank A. Reno, 32, serves as a full-time member of the Worcester fire department. Reno, who is the father of two chil dren, was appointed a fireman while serving with the army in France. Hh later lost his left leg but, after clearance by the civil service department, was given a job as operator of the fire alarm telegraph system. Sheets Repay War Hero's Debt to Belgians ONE OF THE LONG BOYS . . . Following returns assuring him of the Democratic nomination for governor of Louisiana, which is equiva lent to election, Earl Long, brother of the late Sen. Huey P. Long, scans messages of congratulation with Mrs. Rose M. Long, widow of his brother (left), and his wife. Long’s victory in the Democratic primary returns the Long dynasty to power after eight years. OWL HE DECIDE? . . . Reports that Ray Morrison may leave the Temple university Owls to become head football coach at Yale are un confirmed by Morrison. Said he: “The only fair thing for me to say is no comment.” WINCHESTER, MASS. — Repay ing a wartime debt. Col. John Han lon, Winchester’s war hero, has pre sented each of 24 villagers in Hem- roulle, Belgium, with a pair of bedsheets. During the critical days of the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, Colonel Hanlon had promised the villagers he' would discharge the debt after they had given their irreplaceable bedsheets to camouflage his para chute infantrymen who had dropped onto the surrounding snow-covered fields. Colonel Hanlon credited the villagers’ sacrifice with saving the lives of many men in the 502nd parachute infantry. Each of the sheets presented to the villagers was marked with the name of a Winchester donor. More than 600 sheets also were presented to the old people’s home of nearby Bastogne.
