Psychic News Discloses Long Secret
Report About Miracles OF Jesus Christ

"When every possible expla-
nation of these communications
has been given and all doubtful
evidence set aside x x x, we think
it is probable that the hypothesis
that they proceed in some cases
from discarnate spirits is the true
one
The report warned, however,
against "easy credulity which
opens the door to self deception
and to a very great amount of
fraud"
1T is, in our opinion, impor-
tant that representatives of the
church should keep in touch with
groups of intelligent persons who
believe in spiritualism," the re-
port was quoted as saying.
Austen said committeeman
who signed the majority report
were the late Bishop Francis I'm
derhill of Bath and Wells; Canon
Harold Arson, master of the
temple; Canon Laurence Will
liam Grensted, Oxford univer-
sity professor of the Christian
religion; DR.. William Brown,
London psychologist; P. E. Sand
lands, London lawyer; Lady
Gwendolyn Stephenson, and
Matthews.
Austen said the report was
circulated privately only to the

LONDON, Nov. 8.-R-The
Psychic News, spiritualist jour-
nal, said tonight Church of Eng
land Investigators had declared
in a report suppressed for nine
years that there are quite clear
parallels" between Jesus mira
cles and modern phenomena at
tested by spiritualists."
The magazine published what
it said were conclusions of a
seven-member majority of a
church-established investigating
committee of churchmen, scien-
lists and laymen. It did not pub
lish evidence in support of these
conclusions nor any of the
minority report.
The editor, A. W. Austen, said
the report was prepared in 1898
but was suppressed by the house
of bishops of the church '1arge-
L. at the instigation" of DR.. Will
liam Temple, late archbishop OF
Canterbury.
The dean of St. Paul's, the
Very Rev. Walter Robert Mat
thews, who said he was on the
committee, declared today he
was sorry the report twas moi
published when submitted" He
said he thought the reason il
had been withheld was that the
investigators had disagreed or
conclusions and Archbishop Tenn
pie felt Controversy should be
avoided"

The National education As
ISOLATION, which released the
Presidential statement, said that
programs arranged in the
schools this coming week a r e
expected to attract more than
10, 90, 900 visitors.
The next of Mr.. Truman's
statement:
"The schools are yours" the
theme selected for the twenty
seventh observance of American
Education week, is a proud re-
minder that our forefathers saw
that our schools would help
children develop their potential
tiles for democratic living. To
this end, they established free
schools for a free people.
II would point out that the
creative ideals of democracy
must be taught in order to be
learned. The vitality Of our re-
public depends on the effective
ness of such teaching
"Today American education is
in the grips of a grave crisis.
Our schools are compelled to
offer education of inferior quail
ty. Educationally, many millions
of our children are underprivi-
legged.
"We must act to correct con-
ditions which sap our national
strength and waste our human
resources. We must prepare our
young people to understand and
preserve their priceless inherit
ance of freedom. We must give
them the proper climate for de-
veloping intellectual competence
and personal responsibility.
ct therefore urge all Ameri-
cans to rededicate themselves to
the program of providing their
children with a sound education.
American Education week,
beginning November ninth.
offers citizens the opportunity to
meet together in the schools, to
become acquainted with school
needs. In so doing, they will
take counsel in the very citadels
of democracy"

"A young farmer, disappointed

gress on the Marshall Plan.
1t represents the view of
private citizens, appointed by
Mr.. Truman, on how far the
country can "wisely and safely"
90 in aiding Europe. The others,
both government documents,
were:
First, Secretary of Interior
Krug's report, issued Oct. Is,
weighing the impact of foreign
aid on the country's physial
sources. Krug's bulky stury held
that America can safely support
a "considerable' program one
which then was estimated at
$40, 600, 600, 900.
Second, a study by the Presi-
Council of Economic Ad-
visers headed by Edwin G..
Nourse, on the economic impact.
The council found the country
s'unquestionably" able to fl
nance the plan, but urged anti
controls to prevent a
price spiral arising from
foreign demands on scarce
grain, other foods, and steel.
Now the Hartman Committee
of 1880 called because the 10th
member, Secretary OF Com
merce Hartman, merely pre-
sided and had no vote h a
specified what it believes the
desirable limits and safeguards
a foreign aid program. 1t
used the Krug and Nourse re-
ports in its studies.
The next step will be the ap-
of Secretary of State
Marshall, before a joint session
of the Senate Foreign Relations
and House Foreign Affairs COM
mittees Monday.
Marshall's testimon Twill she'd
light on the State Departments
thinking. From all these
sources, Mr.. Truman will take
data to prepare his own mes
sage giving the final White
House recommendations for Leg
jslation on the Marshall plan, to

snecial session starting Nov. II
or the regular session opening

was "Mr. inside" electrifying the
crowd with a through-the-mid-
die SIS yard touchdown sprint on

then using the same play to rack
up long gains all afternoon.
The Wolfpack's only score
came in the final stanza when
Bernie Watts blocked Dick Bunt-
ing's kick in the end zone and
Al Phillips recovered for State.
Tar Heel skipper Carl Snave-
" threw his entire squad into
action, but the subs refused to
hold the score down as the State
line folded completely in the fl
nal minutes of the game. Leslie
Palmer, States great kicker, stole
the show for the losers with a
1919 average for eight punts, but
even setting the Tar Heels back
in their own territory failed to
stop the UNC offensive from roll
ing.
Before the crowd had settled
in the seats Justice returned
States kickoff to the UNC IS,
and the cmobination of the

Pupa rammed through the CEN

line. Cox kicked the point, and
