Texas Preacher
Fails To Block
Soviet Atheism

MOSCOW. June 90 UR)-Ernest
Elmer Baker, religious revivalist
from Menard, Texas, awaited mon-
ey from home today TO return from
a glorious, if completely unsuccesS-
ful, 1000 mile trip to re~Christian-
ize Soviet RuSSia'S 147,000,000 peo-
pie.
A year ago Baker conceived the
idea of converting Russia from its
new Communistic atheism. He
went from Texas to Baltimore and
obtained a seaman's job on a Black
Diamond boat. He drew $40 pay at
Rotterdam, Holland, and got to
Hamburg. Germany, with it.
With no passport and no money.
Baker walked 700 miles on foot
through Germany and Poland, pass
ing guarded frontiers, and got six
miles within the Russian border
where he was arrested last Septem-
ber.
He was taken TO a detention
camp near MinSk. His identity was
established after long delay and
the foreign office notified the AM
erican embassy. Angus I. Ward,
consular officer, was sent to see
him.
Ward found Baker, 38. bricklayer
by trade, six feet one in height and
weighing 180 pounds. He said he
weighed 210 when he started his
700 mile walk.
Can I tell you any news from
outSide?" asked Ward.
I'd like TO know what happened
to Jack Dillinger," replied the Tex
an.
He said that the Russians fed
him we'll and added:
Il could lick Jack Dempsey"
The embassy is trying TO raise
the 500 necessary to send Baker
home.

Later experiences in Texas and
Arizona before coming to Imperial
Valley were equally amusing and
interesting.
A brief talk on "Values," as con-
nected with the appraisal of real
estate property was given by Louis
Ardouin, official appraiser for the
state building and loan department,
who stopped in Imperial Valley fol-
lowing attendance at the building
and loan convention in San Diego.
He paid high tribute to the eX-
eellent condition OF the Imperial
Valley Building and Loan assoeia-
ton, asserting that if other asso-
Citations throughout the state were
in as good condition, much OF the
troubles and work Of his department
would be eliminated.

went out to investigate.
Mr.. Rogers had said
7 live in an alley bedroom. Sleep

through my window sound like
echoes in a wild African jungle.
Sugar, the lion, is the worst Of

Sergeant KeyeS couldn't find MI.

r. Harwood. who lives in a studio
apartment over the garage.
SHOW you what's in the garage?
Sure, this way"
Out of the first OF a row of cages
leaped a roaring jungle lion.
That's Sugar said the doctor.
Gentle like q house-broken pup
py."
Another door was opened and ou,
popped a Malay bear, responding to
the name o. Wilfred. From a third
cage stepped Michael. a rare spe-
cieS of African raccoon. Charley,
in the next stall. DR.. Harwood ex-
planned, was an ocelot, native of
South America.
Completing the unique group were
five gibbering monkeys, which gam
boiled all over the place, hand-shak-
ing the larger animals like so many
little brothers.
You see 7 am professor of ma
tural history I use these animals
in my lectures. They're just like a
bunch OF kids. Come here, Will
fred, shake hands with this nice
policeman"
The bear showed his teeth and
growled a friendly welcome. Ser
geant KeyeS fled. Unless Mr..
