OLD BIBLES IN
DISPLAY SUNDAY

Bibles centuries old were dis
played as a feature of Universal
Bible Sunday at the English Lu-
theran church.
One of the most interesting is
the Augsburg Confession, en-
bracing principles of the Lutheran
church, which the first owner re-
ceived March 10, 1910. That was
only some 80 years after the in
vention of printing.
The Confession is bound in
richly embossed pigskin over
board backs, has brass clasps and
is well preserved for its age of
nearly 400 years. The wood cut
illustrations are especially inter-
esting and diagonal bars, the an
cient comma, are used.

er of Luther, in 1880, and deliver

and in German June Is, 1880.
The German copy was read by
DR.. Boyer, the second Chancellor
of Electoral Saxony, and both
copies were handed to the sec
rotary of the emperor. Charles "
taking both copies in his hands,
put the Latin copy into his pocket
and gave the German copy to the
archbishop of Mayence to be de-
posted in the imperial archives at
Mayence. When the council of
Trent was to be held in 1545 the
German copy was taken to Italy
and never returned. The Enper-

RADIO AMATEURS
HELP RED CROSS
Davis Says Operators Have
Been of Invaluable Aid
in Communications.

Amateur radio operators have been
OF invaluable aid to the American Red
Cross in establishing communications
with isolated New England commu-
mites whose regular telephone and
telegraph services were disrupted by
the hurricane Wednesday, Norman
Davis. Red Cross chairman, said today.
Scores Of emergency messages from
stricken towns to Red Cross headquar-
tiers appealing for aid have been re-
layed by the amateur radio operators,
as well rs messages from headquarters
setting up relief plans in the distressed
communities. Mr.. Davis said.
Most of the emergency communica-
tons were sent from the stricken towns
to Charles G. Lands. operator of AM
ateur Station W3UA at York, Pa, head
OF the Susquehanna Valley emergency
network OF the Amateur Radio Relay
League. and relayed to Red Cross head
quarters here through W3zD, operated
by Roy c. Corderman, 440l Leland
avenue, Chevy Chase, Md.
Mr.. Corderman, District co-ordi-
nator for the emergency corps, and
his alternate, Robert Gallery. operator
OF W3CTQ, Montgomery lane, Be-
thesda. Nd. have maintained almost
constant watch since the hurricane
struck New England.
Typical of the messages handled by
the amateurs was the first direct word
received by Red Cross officials from
storm-swept Westerly, r. l., at 1890
o'clock last night. From H. B. Akin
son, Red Cross worker at Westerly, it
read:
Five hundred homes DESTROYED,
1000 damaged. Forty-one dead and
A in hospital. approximately 200
families need rehabilitation assist
ance."
Mr.. Corderman just Task week had
conferred with Red Cross officials
about plans for a drill to see how ef-
ficiently the amateur network could
handle emergency communications in
case Just such disaster struck. The
drill is scheduled for October 8.
The amateur radio operators re-
ceived numerous appeals to help get
word from individuals in the storm
area, but said they were forced to
keep such personal messages down to
a minimum In order to handle the
emergency communications dealing
with relief work.

The class Of AZ descended on George

bewildered youngsters into a semblance
Of their older and smoother" upper
class sisters and brothers
The freshmen got their first taste
of the future this morning when they
were herded into two large classrooms
to take scholastic aptitude tests.
When they emerged, somewhat
frayed from trying to put squares in
circles and translating an artificial
language, they stepped right into the
clutches Of handshaking sophomores,
who wanted to be the first to cast q
judicial eye over the latest crop.

Wayne Knif11n. freshman director,
was trying valiantly to stick to busi-
ness in the face of a bevy of young
things who milled around outside the
examination rooms.
This Is really a fine job" he ad-
mitted.
Mr.. Knifin and his many assistants
were really practicing up for tomorrow
when freshman week begins in ear
nest. When the freshmen register at
that time they will also fill out form
explaining in some detail their favorite
activities. Early next week they will
attend a compulsory assembly where
they will be taken over by mothers"
sophomore and junior girls, who will
introduce them to the heads of the &C
tivities they select. Registration will
continue through Tuesday, with classes
to begin Wednesday.
Watchful waiting was the theme
today. At the student club the chairs
were still piled on tables. Tomorrow
freshmen will join upper classmen In
crowding into the student haunt.

A few early birds were taking care
Of their registering to avoid the crowds.

request Of the defendants in the War
ring income tax conspiracy case for a
bill OF particulars. demanding to know
from the Government how, where and
when. among other things, money al
legedly paid for protection in the
numbers racket, figures in the case.
After listening to arguments Of OPP
posing counsel. Justice Laws an
nounced that he would consider them
and render a decision between now and
October 4. when the court opens its
regular session.
Leading the argument for the de-
fendants-Gordon L. r. Sadur. tax

in-law and employe Henry L. Sherr
and the three brothers Leo Paul,
Charles Richard (Rags) and Emmitt
Warring-was former United States

If the Government doesn't know
what its theory of the case is yet-and
the defendants have been indicted
since April-how can the defendants
go to trial? II the Government
