LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, April
7.-Andrei A. Gromyko today re-
newed Russia's demand that the
United States scrap its atomic
bombs Immediately. The Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister de-
clared such a step plus general
slash In armaments would re-
move mutual suspicion and lack
of confidence" throughout the
world.
Delivering the long awaited Soviet
policy speech to the United Nations
Commission on Conventional Arm
aments, Mr.. Gromyko ripped into
assertions Of the western powers
that iron-clad international secur-
ity measures must precede actual
disarming.
The Soviet delegate to the q. N
also rejected american and British
contentious that disarming must be
conditioned on establishment OF
safeguards.
He said the General Assembly
resolution of last December calling
for arms reduction did not directly
or indirectly" indicate any reces.
sity for such safeguards.
Not Ready to Compromise.
In asking again for a convention
to outlaw atomic weapons now, Mr..
Gromyko said:
'"The conclusion OF such con-
vention would present serious con-
tribution to the strengthening Of in
ternational peace and security. 1t
would bring an increase in mutual
confidence between the peoples of
the world and would strengthen the
faith of the people in the U. N"
Mr.. Gromyko then indicated that
Russia was not ready to compromise
on the long-fought atomic issue as
he said sharply: Without such q
convention that would forbid the
use Of atomic weapons it would be
difficult and perhaps it would be
impossible to successfully solve the
question Of establishing interna-
tional control of atomic energy
Mr.. Gromyko took the floor in the
Arms Commission, speaking Russian,
less than four hours before his
scheduled speech in English to q
Security Council meeting on Presi-
dent Truman's $40o, ,000,0 900 ,inilat-
eral program of aid to Greece and
Turkey.
Step Toward Security.
Mr.. Gromyko said solution of the
arms reduction problem would be
a serious step in the direction of
removing mutual suspicion and lack
of confidence that exists between
different countries and therefore
would constitute serious step in
the creation of effective security"
Mr.. Gromyko was among the
last delegates to speak before the
Arms Commission. This delay was
noted with interest by other dele
gates, who recalled that Soviet
Foreign Minister Molotov dumped
the surprise arms slashing proposal
into the General Assembly last Oc-
tober with call for speedy handling.
In earlier statements. the United
States and Britain said In effect
that arms reduction now was pre-
mature. Both agreed to 60 TO work
on the program, but cautioned that
international security must first be
established.
This was In opposition to previous
Russian assertions that arms reduce
ton should come first and would
pave the way for such security.
Austin Plans no Statement.
With the policy speeches over, the
arms body planned to adopt rules
of procedure and then formulate q
work program. The group was ex-
pected to function in much the same
manner as the Atomic Energy Com

and where State laws interfere with
such strikes, the stoppage inter-
rupted long distance and some local

Truman Kept Informed.
Also not affected, were dial tele-
phones, representing so per cent OF
the Nations 81 800 900 phones. News
paper and radio wire service and
radio stations, which depend on

MOSCOW, April THE four

working on the Austrian peace
treaty today that Austria must

racial and religious reasons.
1t also was agreed that, in cases

spread among Western diplomats
that Foreign Minister Molotov of
Russia was preparing a new blast
at the American-British reparations
policies in Germany when the Inter-
Allied Reparations Agency report
comes up In the Council Of For

Reparations Report Due.
Authoritative circles said Secre-

Some officials expected the repara-

President Jacques Ruen Of the

permit agencies to assist, it was an
nounced this week by Allen County

and farmers busy posting "Nc
Hunting" signs which are up
none too early unless all the shoot
ing we've been hearing was only
target practice-perhaps some of the
trigger-happy boys couldn't wait
however, with two game protectors
living in Bluffton, there shouldn't be
too much straying from the straight
and narrow path and one of the
top week end attractions is that
football game between Burcky's
Beavers and Northern Polar Bears
at Lima, Saturday night-since al
the big games are played in some
kind of a bowl, one wit suggested
that this game will be staged in

Removal of the ban on poultryless
Thursday is having some unexpected
repercussions in that marketing of
poultry has taken a marked slump
which means that live poultry is
staying on the farms-and as some
bright mind pointed out the other
day, a live chicken consumes more
grain than a dead one.
A former Bluffton woman, Eliza
beth Moser, in one of the worlds
most troubled spots says that there
have been no disturbances in her
immediate vicinity. Miss Moser, di-
rector of the American university
hospitals school of nursing at Bel
rut, Lebanon, Syria, writes in let
ter to her brother and sister-in-law,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ezra Moser, north of
Bluffton that although they hear of
reported bombings in that country,
there has been nothing in the ma
ture of trouble or uprising in the
district where they are located.
This, however, is not the first ex-
perience of the Bluffton woman in
one of the international sore spots,
She was previously connected with
an American hospital in China OPP
Grated by the Rockefeller founda-
ton at the outbreak of the second
World War.
Her experience in Beirut, is SINH
lar to that of Charlie Hankish,
Bluffton confectioner, native of that
area who made a trip to his home
land last year. On his return he
said that the Americans, through
their newspapers, were more uneasy
about trouble in that district than
were the inhabitants themselves.
Another item in the international
situation comes from the Sidney
Hauensteins, just back from visiting
their son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. w. M. C. Todd near Edin-
burgh, Scotland. Because of scare
ity of fuel, use of coal for heating
office buildings was forbidden be-
fore November l in that country
where temperatures will average
lower than in this country.
The Sam Stepleton family have a
novel and convenient plan for fam
lily reunions-they had one last Sun
day at a Logonsport, Indiana,
hotel. Although none of the fam
lily live in that city, it's about half
way between Bluffton and Peoria,
H., where their daughter, Mrs.
J. M. Springer (Treva Stepleton)
and family live. So the Sam Steple-
tons from Bluffton and Ted and his
family of Lima drive west half the
distance and the Springers from Pc
oria drive east and everyone enjoys
family get-together at the halfway
spot with a good dinner ready and
waiting and no kitchen worries in
its preparation. After the dinner
Mrs. stepleton accompanied Mr.. and
Mrs. Springer and family to Peoria
for several weeks visit.

Presentation by
MIR. l.. j. Bullivant

Overseer Mintern, Officers,
Members and Friends of the
Christian Catholic Church:
It is indeed a privilege to
stand here this morning and
tell you of the small part that
I have had in making it posi-
BILE that this station wagon can
be presented and dedicated to
the Lords work in Phoenix,
Arizona.
(The automobile - Ford
station Wagon-Was rolled on
to the platform, in full view of
the audience, at this point in
the service.)
While resting in California,
the Lord seemed to put it on
our hearts to go to Phoenix to
attend the dedication of the
Mountain View Chapel. We
went by plane, and I do thank
God for the privilege of being
there. [ made a careful study
of the building that had been
erected by Elder Barton, and
his members and friends. [
think they made a very fine
job. Of course, it was not
completed then.
While in Sunnyslope, I could
see the need of getting the
children to Sunday School and
also transportation for some
sick ones who were not able
to get to church. It was then
that God put into my heart the
idea of a station wagon. re-
turned to California, and the
thought of a station wagon was
in my mind every day.
When I came back to Zion, |
talked this matter over with
Overseer Mintern and I told
him how the Lord seemed to
put it on my heart to make pos
sible station wagon for Elder
Barton to take these children to
Sunday School-these children
out in the desert (and | mean
desert!). There was no trans
portation what ever other than
the private vehicles. God has
certainly worked in a marvel
Gus way.
At that time Overseer Min
tern told me he had personally
made arrangements so that the
interior of Zion Mountain
View Chapel could be finished
and I said to him, "Overseer,
| am going to take the respon-
sibility of getting this station
wagon, with the help of the
Lord!" = and I know the Lord
has undertaken for us.
I praise God for the encour-
agement I received in the mat
ter, from the very beginning.
Coming out on the Northwest
ern train, I met two brothers
(whose names | had written
down as prospects to help out
in getting this carr. told them
the story, and they said,
Brother, put me down; we
