BERLIN, May %. - German
sources reported yesterday that So
Wet occupation authorities were
preparing to bring out mass
produced "American-style' cigarettes
for sale in the Soviet zone at be-
tween 3 and 4 marks pack go to
40 cents.
American cigarettes have been
selling on the black market for
about 100 marks (S12) a pack, and
| it has been predicted that the price
will go even higher as result OF
a United States Army ban on their
private importation into Germany
which becomes effective Monday.
German officials who inquired of
the Russians about plans for pro-
duction of the new cigarettes re-
portedly were informed that the
move was undertaken to- kill the
bartering value of American Gig
arettes.
The German sources said the new
Soviet cigarettes would bear such

A few American soldiers, ignorant
of art appreciation, used two rare
naintings by Titan and Van Dyke,
valued at hundreds of thousands OF
dollars, as boards on which TO
place their wash basins during the
war, It was revealed last night.
Robert K. Posey, New York ar
chitect and former Army nonu-
ments officer, made this disclosure
at q lecture in the Corcoran Gallery
of Art.
B He said the incident occurred IN
"a castle in Germany, after the
paintings had been taken out OF q
case.
And when the soldiers found that
the frames "interfered'' with their
washing, they removed the paint
ings and used the hard canvases
as a platform" for the pals fun
of hot water, Mr.. Posey explained
Protests Bring Order.
Stains left by the pals and soap
damaged the paintings, and Mr.
Posey protested to Gen, Patton, Sd
Army leader. Instructions imme-
diately were issued barring revival
of the practice.
During the war;. Mr.. Posey was
q major of engineers and one OF
a small group of officers assigned to
marking valuable monuments for
protection during combat and To-
eating art treasures removed by the
Nazis. He was decorated with the
French Legion of Honor and the
Belgium Order of Leopold.
Although both sides hated each
other intensely, Mr.. Posey told OF
how the international love of art
by scholars and a can of tobacco
actually transcended the mutual
enmity.
He described how, In another
German castle, an eminent art
scholar, who formerly was custodian
of its art exhibits, was left in charge
after the Americans took over, ir
accordance with an accepted prac-
tice.
Mr.. Posey related that the mutual
interest in art between him and the
custodian, plus the tobacco, finally
elected from the custodian COM
plete information about the exhibits
and particularly about a Roman
esque painting in which Mr.. Posey
was especially interested.
Soldier Questions Fuss"
This appreciation of the arts was
not returned in another incident in

speaker declared.

MAN is the browning work
of the Creators hand, there
fore man belongs to God by
right of creation. Likewise
Gods "creation" is His, for He
brought it into being.
God has given to man life:
and this should be looked upon
as a sacred trust, as a steward
ship, as something for which
each individual must give an
account to God. Every one is
responsible to God for the way
he uses his life, his time, his
strength, his possessions, tor
all these things come from
God. Those who recognize this
fact and live in harmony with
Gods Divine laws are assur-
ed of success in this life, as
we'll as an abundant entrance
into the life above. Obedience
to Divine law is the only path
way of blessing.
Tithing is Gods system of
finance. It is a system ordain-
ed by God for providing the
means for maintaining His
ministers and preaching the
Gospel. In obeying Gods COM
mand with regard to Tlthlng,
man thereby recognizes his
indebtedness to Almighty God.
TO pay the 1.-THE is to pay one
tenth of ones earnings into
Gods "Storehouse.' The first
mention of Tithing is found in
the Book of Genesis. There it
is recorded that Abraham and
Jacob both recognized their
obligation to God in this re-
spect.
I GODS BLESSING BE-
SLOWED UPON ABRA-
HAM BY MELCHIZEDEK.
Genesis IA :14-19; Proverbs
3:1-6; Isaiah 32:17-2O;
John 1921, 27; Hebrews
6:19, 20; -7:1-21; Revela-
ton IS, 6.
The Sacred Record states
that Abraham gave "tithes of
alp to Melchizedek. The first
mention of warfare in the
Scriptures is the story of the
confederated kings led by
Chedorlaomer, who. conquer
ed the kings of Sodom and
Gomorrah, carrying away Lot
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-04-23

and his family among the cap
tives. Upon hearing that his
nephew, Lot, had been taken
prisoner, Abraham Immediate
ly armed his 318 trained ser
wants and pursued the enemy
as far as Damascus, where he
overlook them and drought
again his brother Lot, and his
goods, and the women also,
and the people" Thus Abra-
ham won a great victory as a
champion of righteousness. Re-
turning from "the slaughter of
Chedorlaomer and the kings
that were with him." Abraham
was met by Melchizedek,
liking of Salem," who came
forth as ''the priest of the Most
High God" bringing with him
and setting before Abraham
bread and wine, the memo
rails of sacrifice" - symbols
of Christ's broken body and
shed blood. And there he
blessed Abraham in the Name
of the Most High God, "pos-
SCISSOR of heaven and earth"
II ABRAHAM GIVING
TITHES OF ALL TO MEL
CHIZEDEK. Genesis IL:
1924; Psalm 27:1-7; 112:
1-3; Proverbs 3: 1918;
Matthew 6:24, 80; Philip
plans 4:6, 13, 10; I limo
thy 6:6-12; 1913.
Abraham fully realized that
all he possessed came from
God. Abraham was very rich.
The Word does not denounce
riches but does condemn the
love of riches = the placing
of ones affections upon riches
instead of upon the Giver Of
all good things. By paying
Tithes to Melchlzedek, Abra-
ham acknowledged God as
'the possessor of heaven and
earth;" he acknowledged that
''the earth is the Lords and
the fullness thereof"
Tithing should be practiced
by every true Christian. We
pay our Tithes; we give our
Offerings. God says that to
withhold the Tithes and Offer
ings is to rob Him. And it has
been definitely demonstrated
that Tithing insures great
blessing from God both mate

rally and spiritually. Every
faithful tithepayer also re-
ceives far more than he gives.
Then, too, he has the assur-
ance that he is ''laying up
treasures in heaven; and
he has the joy of knowing
he is making possible the
giving out of the Gospel
message to a lost and dying
world. Those who profess to
be Christ's followers and yet
are unfaithful in Tithing,
show their lack of faith in God.
He has promised to supply the
needs of all who put their

%; II Chronicles 31:1-12;
Nehemiah 10:37, SO; 10:

II Corinthians SO; 9:6-15.
The story of Jacob and the
deception which he practiced
in order to obtain his fathers
blessing is we'll known to Bible
students. Consequently, he
had to leave his fathers home.
When nighttime overlook
him, he gathered stones for his
pillow. Then he dreamed "and
behold a ladder set up on the
earth, and the top of it reach
ed to heaven; and the angels
of God ascending and descend
ing on it." God spoke to Jacob
that night, and upon awaking
he rose land took the stone
that he had put for his pillow
and set it up for a pillar; and
he called the name of that
place Bethel. There he VOW
ed VOW, saying, eff God will
be with me, and will keep me
so that I come again in
peace, then shall the Lord be
my God and of all that
Thou shalt give me I will sure
ly give the tenth unto Thee"
We know that Jacob was rich
ly blessed, and that God
changed his name to Israel.

OLD AGE TAX
RATE FROZEN
Will Continue At Present
One Per Cent For Next
Two Years

WASHINGTON, June 10. -(P-
The House voted unanimously to-
day to hold the old age insurance
tax at one per cent for two more
years.
Rep. Reed R.-N.Y.) predicted it
is ''the last freeze" of present rates
that Congress will approve.
The measure will block a So, O0O,-
900, 900 annual increase in the social
security levy beginning next Janu-
airy l if passed by the Senate and
accepted by President Truman. But
it provides increases beginning in
1850.
Without the freeze, the security
levy would jump automatically
from one per cent against en-
ployes' wages and employers pay
rolls OF 2.5 per cent against each
starting the first of next year.
The present one per cent rate
collects about 81, 500, 600, 900 an
nually and has accumulated &c.
700, 900, 900 in the security trust
fund.
The. House endorsed the Greece"
bill within two minutes after it
reached the floor.
The measure was presented after
a ways and means subcommittee,
of which Reed is chairman, ex-
amined the needs of the trust funo
from which the government pays
old age and survivors insurance.
The new legislation provides for
an increase in the tax to is per
cent against wages and payrolls in
1850, and to two per cent in 1857
and thereafter. With the inclusion
of this formula for future increases,
the bill had the support of both
Republicans and Democrats.
The measure also continues, to
June 80, 1850, increases in federal
contributions, to needy aged per-
sons, the blind, and dependent chill
dren.
These increases we're first pro-
vided in a bill passed by Congress
last year. Inc maximum Iederal
contribution for each needy case
was raised from $40 a month to
$25. States also contribute to these
benefits.
Today's unanimous vote was in
sharp contrast to past bitter bat
ties over freezing the security tax.
The original social security law,
enacted 10 years ago, provided for
gradual increase of the old age in
surance tax from one per cent to
three per cent against employe
and employer. The idea was to
prepare for the heavy burden that
will fall upon the fund when great
numbers of insured persons grow
old.
Congress has frozen the tax sew
en- successive years.
