Rev. Henry Knox Sheriff., presiding
bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, made radio appeal >yester-

Bishop Sheriff. delivered o ser.
mon over 500 radio stations to par.

The Mutual Broadcasting system
broadcast the sermon, with tran.
scriptions used for congregations In
the Central, Mountain and Pacific
time zones.
To-day, even the most hard
headed realists are thinking in
terms of world crisis and of world
needs" Bishop Sheriff. said. There
is such q gulf between conditions
at home and In these (foreign)
countries that 1t is difficult for us
to realize the actuality Of what is
happening. -
Man cannot live without bread,
but neither can he live by bread
alone. . The inescapable lesson
of the past 40 years is that the
worlds problem Is spiritual. Until
men have come to realize that God
reigns, all our efforts, economic and
political and cultural, are doomed
to failure.

6dCkcFS OF senator BaIlQ6u-
berg. and Gen. Macarthur, two
frequently mentioned compro-
mise candidates for the Repub-
|lican presidential nomination
took heart today at new develop
. ments on the political front.
/ The Michigan Senator. associ-
ates revealed, has decided not to
make a fight to remove his name
from the Nebraska Republican
presidential primary on April Is
The general. writing from Tokyo
praised the COP as the party which
"has never deyiated from the theory
that all political power resides in
the peoples!
| As q result of the Vandenberg
decision, the primary in Nebraska
will give Republican voters an op-
|portunity to indicate their prefer
ence for the Republican nomination
among all the leading candidates
Gov. Dewey OF New York. Senator
Taft Of Ohio, former Gov Stassen
of Minnesota, House Speaker Mar
tain, Gen. Macarthur, Gov. War
rem of California and Senator
Saltonstall OF Massachusetts,, as
well as Senator Vandenberg.
The Michigan Senator, who heads
the powerful Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, was reported TO
have based his decision on friends
advice that court action probably
would be necessary to prevent the
listing of his name.
Petitions placing his name and
those Of the seven others on the
ballot are expected to be filed at
once. Results of the test vote do
not bind the States delegates to
vote for the winner at the Repub-
lican convention, however.
As the Michigan Senator's friends
let it be known he would not try
further to take himself out of the
Nebraska race, Gen. MacArthur's
hackers received a boost in mes
sage from the general backing a
drive to form Young Republican
Clubs on the Nations 1,730 college
campuses. The general wrote:
THE Republican Party Is peculiar
ly well fitted vigorously to espouse
this laudable purpose to further
arouse in the youthful mind the
all-important concept Of public re-
sponsibility, for the Republican
Party has never deviated from the
proposition that all political power
resides in the people"
Gen. Macarthur added, how
ever, that emphasis should be placed
on "the great American cause to be
served, rather than the political
benefit to be gained"
Warren Objects to Listing.
Gov. Warren, a "favorite son.
candidate, said last week he hoped
his name would not be put on the
Nebraska ballot. He added he
doesn't think 1t quite fair to list
man who doesn't want to enter a
primary race.
Senator Vandenberg was said to
feel somewhat the same way.
But the fact the Michigan Senator
has not publicly condemned the
move has led some friends to believe
he might be slightly more receptive
to a draft than he was before Gen
Eisenhower eliminated himself.
Not Expected to Run Strongly.
