United Nations
 Approach Crucial Test For Existence

LAKE SUCCESS, (P) - Trygve Lie is approaching one of the most crucial periods in his tenure as secretary-general of the United Nations with expressed hopes of an early break in the EaSt-West d dock stalling international agreement.
 With the 55-nation general as se4bly opening in two weeks for what some observers choose to call a make-or-break session, Lie is confident at least some of the difficulties between the United States and Russia will be wiped away, he told the Associated Press yesterday.
 Lie acknowledged that it was impossible to forecast whether the log-jam would be broken as early as this fall, but he added a convic- ton that suddenly something will happen"
 Nearing the end of his second year as the worlds top interna- tional civil servant, the 5l-year- old Norwegian believes that sign ing and ratification of all the peace treaties eventually will clear the path for the U. N. to function at top efficiency. He was greatly en- couraged by Moscow's recent rati- fication of the pacts with Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Finland.
 He is a supporter of the Mar shall economic proposal for Flu rope and said "the hopes of mil lions of people" rest on receiving help.

Truman Creates Political Interna- tiOnal Crises

WASHINGTON, (P)-Rep. Ben der R.-Ohio), contended yesterday that President Truman is creating synthetic" international crises for political purposes.
 A consistent critic of admins tration foreign policy, Bender said in a statement the President lis trying to create situation in which his cohorts will argue that we should not change the Demo- cratic mule in midstream."
 II can see only one purpose to MT. Truman's present course in foreign affairs" Bender said. That is the political purpose of moving from one international crisis to another in order to estab- fish himself as leader who should not be abandoned in the midst of virtual state of war"
 The Ohio laWmaker added that he has asked chairman Taber R.- N. Y.) of the House appropriations committee to undertake thorough investigation of what he called "the Truman doctrine" and "the Truman-Marshall doctrine"
 There was no immediate admin istration rebuttal to Bender.
 Several Congressional commit tees, including a special group composed of members of the ap. propriations and armed services committees, already have begun investigations abroad into both the Marshall plan for European re- covery and the Greek-Turkish pro. gram designed to block Commun. ist expansion in those countries.

ter Rev. Lichty left, Kibote
contracted an eye disease, a
disease that causes one event
ually to become blind. He has
been quite ill and we have
been praying for him. Yester-
day he came to tell us that his
eyes were almost completely
healed over night. God has
touched his eyes, and we are
all praising the Lord for this
wonderful miracle He has
shown us.
At the present we are living
in the house vacated by Miss
Roth, Rev. Lichty's co-worker
who will soon return to Zion.
We plan to fix up the house as
we are able to, and then when
our freight comes we will be
able to furnish it with the
things we sent out. 1t has not
been decided as yet whether it
would be more economical to
buy wooden furniture, such as
tables, chairs, dish cabinets,
etc., already made from the
market place, or to hire "fun-
di" (carpenter) to do the work
for us. AS strange as it may
seem, there is a shortage of
wood. (This is jungle Africa
no wood) Most of the lum-
Der is exported, they tell us.
Mr.. Lichty has been able to
purchase some plywood, how
ever, and will use it for repairs
on the house.

and we stand and dream of the
time when we can do likewise.
l must tell you about our
first Sunday service. Out in
the back yard hangs. a huge
dome-shaped piece of metal.
This is beaten with a metal
rod, thus making a ringing
sound to call the people to
worship. Of course, the bell is
rung about an hour in advance,
for the natives have no concep-
ton of time-12 or 1 o'clock
is just as suitable at HOO to
them. One by one they get
around to the fact that it's
time for church, so they move
our way. One thing about it
is that when you once get
them there, there's no hurry to
go home again-they come for
the day! They'll sit for hours
and hours, if we want them
to. The first Sunday we were
in meeting for about three and
one-half hours, | believe.
Let me tell you, these people
can really sing, or should [
term it "shout," - at any rate,
they really let you know there
is something going on. One
group of Christians came from
some distance away and for a.
bout five or ten minutes before
they arrived we could hear the
beating of their drum and their
jubilant voices singing in per-
feet unison a marching hymn.
That was something that thrill
ed me to the depths of my be-
ing. 1t was beautiful! Words
cannot express it. I remember
Overseer Lee told of the native
meetings in Jamaica and of
how they sang, and of how
their singing thrilled him. I
know now what he meant. One
must experience it in order to
realize the feeling it gives to
hear these black, one time lost
in sin, Christians sing to the
Lord. It was amusing to hear
their special songs in eng
lish." They worked them out
by themselves; one of the ma
tives, having attended an Eng
lish school, supervised. The
first song was, "I'll Be Work.
ing for My Lord" and their
version was, cam be awooket-
ing for ma Laud." Then the
second one they rendered
with great poise) was "Steal
Away" In this one they got
SO excited at the end that they
just sang "Stealaaaa" and let
it go at that.
In the Sunday School, the
first Sunday we had about for
ty or fifty little black children,
some dressed, some undressed,
and others half dressed Gin the
skin of an aimal their father no
doubt had killed with a spear).
For an offering, some brought
a cent or perhaps two or five,
which would be about a penny
in our money Csc in African
equals 1c in American) while
others brought an ear of corn
to lay on the table, as their GUS
tom is when it comes time for
the offering to be received. To
them it was a sacrifice, even
though it seemed small to us

ly. We are in the midst of the
rainy season. Then, too, it has
been exceptionally cool the
past couple of years, they tell
us. 1t seems that the weather
is turned around" all over the
world, these days. You would
laugh to see all that we wear
when we go to sleep Gas close
to the fireplace as we can get).
Always, sox for our feet; two
heavy blankets, plus one sim
gle blanket for top covering.
However, the sun is warm in
the daytime and we spend
part of our time out in it, study
ing the language.
Now that we are getting or
gained and accustomed to our
new environment, we are dig
ging into the language in ear
nest. To start with, we are
studying the Wiswahili Kiss
wa-hele), which is termed 'the
trade language" of this area.
After we master it, we will
begin on the tribal Language
es'' of our particular section
of Kenya. From what | under
stand, we are within reach of
several different tribes each
having their own language,
consequently there will be sew
eral for us to learn. Right now,
it seems very difficult to us,
having first of all to learn how
to concentrate on studies
again, and then trying to re-
call and make use of our own
English grammar so as to know
how to formulate our Kiswa-
hidi sentences correctly. The
words seem quite silly to us as
we try to memorize them one
by one. Examples: nguo =
clothes; GEM foreigner
CHATS what I any mlango-
door; fupi-loW; hapa-here;
etc. The strange thing is that
each tribe, even though situat-
ed close to other tribes, has
completely different lam
guage. We need your prayers
that the Lord will assist us in
grasping the language readily,
so that we may be of greater
service in a shorter length of
time.
There is much to learn as
to the people themselves: their
customs, the way they think,
their mannerisms, why they
react as they do to various cir
cumstances, etc. One can only
learn these things, of course,
by associating with the natives
as much as possible.
There are quite a number
of natives living right here at
the station, many of them be-
ing Christians, or boys and
girls who come to work for
us and go to school. They seem
very happy that we are here
and spend much of their time
just looking us over, and, no
doubt, trying to understand
our Irregularities" We get a
'big kick" out of the children
and their inquisitive little fac
es as they stand and gaze at
us and then "jabber" to each
other as to their impression of
the whole thing. Mr.. Lichty

was evident to over $50 finishers

at the Mary Patterson Memorial

point, left little to be desired in
filling that role.

toastmaster for the evening and
kept things moving along in fine
style. Secretary-Treasurer, Chas.

dent, t. j. Desmond were also
present and called upon for a few

Communistic Double Talk

The men - Arnold Ames,

and Emanuel Brownstein were
suspended from the Cutters Union,
Local 10, ILGWU, for periods of
8 to s. years on charges of circulat-
ing defamatory literature against
David Dubinsky, president, and
other officers of the garment
union. The suspensions were order
ed after union trial in July, 1914,
and the suspended men have been
depicted as martyrs" in the Com
munist press ever since.
In 40-page decision, Supreme
Court Justice Ernest f. L. Ham
mer rejected charges that they had
been deprived of process or had
not had a fair and impartial hear
ing. He cited at length from the
writings of Nicolai Lenin, Joseph
Stain and William z. Foster, ma
tional chairman of the Communist
party, to prove that Communists
were under standing instructions to
use fraud, deceit and trickery
whenever it might serve the party's
purposes.
Excoriating the arguments put
forward by the accused men as

double-talk," Justice H m m e

AFL Council Fights Legislative
Crisis; Pin Final Hopes On Veto

Washington, D. C.-Determined
to marshal all the forces of organ

most drastic anti-union legislation
in American history, the Executive
Council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor opened a momentous
Assion in the Nations Capital.
1Confronted with the adoption of
this legislation by an overwhelm-
ing majority in the House of
Representatives and the practical
certainty of the passage of an al
most equally tough bill in the Sen
ate within a few days, the leaders
of labor were pinning their hopes
on Presidential veto.
These hopes gained support
from public statements by men,
bers of Congress and from unof-
ficial advices from high quarters.
Rep. Emanuel Celler d., of

President Truman, told the House:

pne-Doy Holiday
Protest Against
Closed Shop Bon

Des Moines (ILNS). = All Iowa
organized labor mobilized in one
day holiday to protest against a
bill which would outlaw the closed
shop, union shop and dues checkoff.
The bill passed the State Senate,
36 to IL and was before the House
of Representatives as union men,
bers converged on this city.
Buses, private automobiles and
trains brought thousands of AFL
and CIO members here to take part
in a great mass demonstration be-
fore the State Capitol. A. A..
Couch, president of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, estimated the
crowd at $4,000. Gov. Robert D.
Blue spoke briefly to the throng,
asserting that the Legislature had
been fair to labor and was seeking
"the greatest good for the greatest
number" He was booed at one
point in his address.
The protesting union members
spread over the Statehouse lawn,
surged into the big building, spill
ed into corridors and crowded the
House chamber.
Street car and bus service was
curtailed in many cities and many
Nher industries were shut down as
he workers took part in the holi-
day. In Des Moines, street car and
bus crews quit work at 10 a. m.
after handling the morning rush
and returned to work at 8 %. m.
