Chinese Reds Disclose
Death Of u. ). Marine
Seized Christmas Day
Navy Apology Demanded
By Communist Radio for
Actions of 5 Americans
BY the Assecioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.-
The Chinese Communist radio
today announced that one of
five American Marines captured
by the Reds in North China died
of wounds.
1t charged the United States with
active participation in China's civil
war.
The broadcast confirmed rumors
that one of the Marines, Pfc
Charles j., Brayton. jr., Fort Jay
Governors Island, N. Y, was
wounded fatally.
"The unlicensed acts of the
United States armed forces and
military personnel in various parts
of China and their aid to Chang
Kai-shek in wanting civil war are
facts known to everyone" said the
broadcast.
aThis is utterly imperialist, ag-
gressive authority and the great
Chinese nation will absolutely not
endure this aggression. Since Octo-
Der, 1945, United States armed
forces and military personnel have
continuously carried out aggression
and military reconnaissance against
the liberated areas, as well as max.
ing unreasonable demands"
Navy Apology Asked.
The broadcast said the five ma.
rines had advanced against a po'
sition" of the Communists near &
village north of Tsingtao Christina:
Day. 1t said the United States
Navy had been asked to apologize.
On previous occasions, American
military personnel taken into GUS
tody in Communist territory were
released unharmed after few days
This time, said the broadcast, the
four surviving Marines would be
treated with "clemency' on condi-
ton the United States guarantees
mo recurrence"
Admiral Charles M. Cooke, 1r.
commander of United States Navy
forces in the Far East, said ir
Shanghai Monday he could not con-
firm a rumor that one Marine hac
been killed. He said he had had ne
news of the five since they were
captured Christmas Day.

Wallace 10 Give View!
On ERP February n
AT House Hearinq
Senote Group Near End
: Of Tosk Of Revising
Foreign Aid Measure
By J. A. O'Leor

Henry A. Wallace, third-party
candidate for President, will air
his views on the European Re-
covery Program before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee at 10
am. on February "a, the COM
mittee announced today.
This announcement came as the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee neared the end of it's revision
of the administrations original
draft of the European recovery bill.
When the Senate committee re-
cessed at noon it had only three
major questions to settle, according
to reliable reports, namely: The
amount of aid for the first Is
months, whether to write in prom
ise to continue the program for four
years, and the extent to which
American shipping should be used
in transporting aid.
Final Vote Unlikely This Week.
Although the committee may
reach tentative decisions on these
important points this afternoon or
tomorrow, a final vote on reporting
| the bill to the Senate is expected to
be put off until next week
| Mr.. Wallace's decision to appear
before the House committee will
give Democrats and Republicans
alike chance to question him on
his foreign policy. Mr.. Wallace has
said he was for the humanitarian
aspects of the Marshall Plan and
of aid to Greece, but is fighting both
the Marshall Plan and the Truman
doctrine in the Mediterrean because
he believes they seek to divide Eu-
rope into warning groups.
Meanwhile the State Department
disclosed the United States has
withdrawn objections to an early
meeting of the European Recovery
Program nations
The department said the British
and French Ambassadors were told
that this Government has no OBJ
| jectilon to meeting after the end
of February.
! A proposal for reconvening the
16-nation conference was discour-
aged last month by the State De-
partment.. 1t took the view that
the European aid legislation was not
lin suitable form for consideration.
New Herter Report Issued.
In another development a House
committee warned that the United
States must guard against letting
the European Recovery Program be-
come lust another interim aid
measure.
Representative Herter, Republi-
can. of Massachusetts,, made pub
Lie another preliminary report OF
his Select Committee on Foreign
Aid, which toured Europe last fall.
The keynote of the report is that
the success of the Marshall Plan
will depend on how earnestly the
is cooperating nations work to
solve their basic trade problems
after the United States makes
available this new supply OF goods
and dollar credit.
Although it does not purport to
represent the individual views OF
ali members OF the House COM
mittee, Mr.. Herter believes 1t will
be helpful to the committee in pre-
pairing a final report

Commodity prices began 10
show signs of gaining a little
strength today but a violent
downswing hit the wholesale
butter market.
Grain prices were irregular, but
they gave indications of attempt
ing to climb in contrast to the
downward slides of the last week
the Associated Press reported.
The price of wholesale butter
slammed down to 6h cents a
pound on the New York Mercan-
tile Exchange.
The drop was Immediately re-
hected in some retail prices.
The National Association of Re-
tail Grocers said key city survey
showed reductions in flour, bacon
ham, lard, vegetable shortening
eggs and butter, and in some cases
beef.
Called Genuine Reductions.
These price cuts were not loss
leaders posted to attract trade, said
Patsy d'Agostino, president of the
association. They are genuine re-
auctions, made possible by the fiexi-
bility of grocers to adjust to mar
ket conditions quickly, he said,
Grains showed widely divergent
tendencies. Corn swung down as
much as the full limit at the start
but wheat and oat deliveries were
steady to slightly higher. Corn
prices subsequently came back from
the lows.
Cotton fell almost 81 bale at
New York. Shortly after the open
ing, however, mills began buying
and there was a rebound that
brought the price about 81 above
the lows at the start.
At New Orleans, cotton was $l.25
to $3.50 bale lower.
Stock Changes Small.
Stocks were irregular and activ-
ity was moderate. Price changes
were small.
At Chicago, sellers were holding
hogs at about yesterdays prices OF
S23.75 to $24.25 a hundred pounds
The best bid shortly after the open
ing was $3.50.
The pits hardly more than opened
at Chicago when soybeans were
offered at the cent limit decline
from yesterdays prices.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics
meanwhile, reported that its daily
market index of prices for 28 com
modities traded in organized mar
kets showed a drop of over 7 PEE

THE full context reveals the fact
l. that Baruch exhibited courage
as well as faithfulness in his serv-
ice as scribe to Jeremiah. 1t was
not an easy task. Nor will it be
easy to fill our posts as couriers
Of the Good News. But it was a
rewarding experience for Baruch.
He served his day and generation
according to the will OF God.
Mr.. Henry Ford, Sr., believed in
having copy Of the Bible near at
hand wherever he might sit down
in his home. heard him say once
that he had Bible on every table
In his home. II do this in order that
I may reach over and spend a few
minutes with the Lord wherever |
may sit down. And | always cher.

lamp unto their feet and a light

the fall of Jerusalem.
Our golden text for this lesson is
found in Psalms 119:105, "Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and
light unto my path"
OUR BIBLE
eGTHEN jeremiah called Baruch,
i the son of Neriah, and
Baruch wrote from the mouth of
jeremiah all the words Of the Lord,
which he had spoken unto him,
upon a roll of a book. And Jere-
miah commanded Baruch, saying,
am shut up; cannot 60 into the
house of the Lord. Therefore 60
thou, and read in the roll, which
thou hast written from my mouth,
the. words Of the Lord in the ears
Of the people in the Lords house
upon the fasting day; and also thou
shalt read them in the ears of all
Judah that come out of the cities"
jeremiah 36:4-8.
How did we get our Bible?
Through this simple process of God
speaking through his appointed
prophet, and by the faithful work
of men like Baruch who served as
scribes.
THIS SCRIBE or LONG AGO
TN the Introductory paragraph
L sketched briefly the story OF
Baruch. He was a trained man,
trusted and beloved. This he had to
be, else God would not have APP
proved Jeremiah's selection Of Bar
UGH to copy what he was saying
for God. And not only was he Sc
lected to write down what God was
saying, through his prophet, but he
was used to proclaim the words Of
God to the people in the Lords
house. Baruch was amanuensis,
reader and distributor of the Bible
"a distinguished role, indeed. Let
us today be gladly ready to read
the Bible to others. and to distribute
and circulate the Scriptures wherev-
er we may. Here 1 pause to pay
tribute to the American Bible So
ciety and all others, including the
Gideons, who help to make the
Bible known to all men everywhere.
A MAN ON WHOM GOD COUNTED
THUS we see that Baruch was
l. man on whom God counted.
His work was done well, and we
read that, when they heard all the
words, they were afraid both one
and other, and said unto Baruch,
We will surely tell the king of all
these words"
Young people will do well to pom.
der this incident. In the varied
contacts Of young Christians in this
modern day, we may be used OF
the Holy Spirit in making known
the words Of God in countless ways.
Thus, like Baruch, you may be
used Of God to make known his will
unto all mankind.

|Court Order Creates
Sanitary District ;
lin Fairfax County

An order creating Fairfax Sanitary
District No. 8. comprising the Lang
ley Mclean Lewinsville Chester
brook area, was signed yesterday in
Fairfax Circuit Court by Judge Paul
Brown.
Creation of the district was op-
posed by the Taxpayers Advisory
Association at a hearing before
Judge Brown on March 2. AS a
result, the area to be taken in the
district was reduced by Judge Brown
from that first requested by the
Citizens Committee for Proposed
Sanitary District No. 3.
In the order. Judge Brown de-
clares "the evidence showed that
the part to be omitted would not be
benefited by the establishment OF
a sanitary district" This omitted
area comprises vacant land south
of Ell Nido, part of Chesterbrook
Franklin Park and Franklin Forest
More than a year ago, Judge
Brown denied a petition for estab-
lishment of the district.
Construction of facilities in the
district would be financed by a ST.
100000 bond issue, according to a
statement at the hearing by G
Hubbard Massey, Fairfax consulting
engineer. Issuance of the bonds
would be subject to referendum.
