War Souvenir Found
To Be Real Antique
Of ChriStendOm

r. L. Topping, Jr., of 815 Ham.
ilton street discovered the other
day that he was the owner of a
bronze coin dating from the early
days OF Christendom.
Topping has had the coin in his
possession ever since 1945, when
he found it in a wrecked shop
deep In Germany and picked it
up as a war souvenir. He was a
forward infantry observer with
the Seventh Armored Division
during World War II, and it was
when the Seventh was pushing
into German territory near the
wars end that he came across
the coin- which is apparently
about $500 years old.
He said he had thought little
about the old bronze piece until
few days ago when he hap
pened to read in a newspaper an
article about man who had col
lected a lot of ancient coins, so
ne started browsing through an
1895 edition of the Holy Bible
owned by his father, local min
ister. The Bible is a large one
with many. supplementary sec
tlons edited by Prof. S. w. Will
Aams, and in one of the pages
devoted to old coinage of Bibli-
cal times Topping found his
coin.
A picture of the col along with
a description was printed in the
Bible and examination of the two
together shows them to be iden-
tlcal except for the obvious signs
OF wear on the one found in Ger
many.
Williams description of the
piece says it is a medal found
near urfa, Syria, by Rev. G. B.
Nutting, a missionary. 1t is said
to be quite ancient but of uncer-
tain age, probably a little lat
er than the time of Constantine, /"
Constantine, tie great Roman
emperor, was the first Roman
ruler to recognize Christianity
and ne was in power about the
year 800 AID.
The medal owned by the local
man has on its face a picture of
christ with a halo around His
head and a worn Latin inscrip-
ton. The back has an inscrip.
ton in Latin of which only the
words "Jesus Christ" are deci-
pherable or legible.
Topping said he expects to be
in Washington, D. c., in the near
future, and said he may have
the bronze piece examined bv an
expert at the Smithsonian Insti-
tute to see just what it is and
to determine its historical value.

SUP AppEALS DECISION IN
 ALASKA CASE
Question Over Employees in Stewards Union
 Joining AFL Group

SEATTLE, Dec 6-tR-The Sail CTS Union of the Pacific tAFL) con- tended Saturday that 75 per cent of the employees in the stewards departments of ships of the Alaska Steamship Company want to be represented by the union. The SUP made the contention in appealing from ruling by Thomas P. Gra- ham, Jr., Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board, in which he dismissed the un'on's pe- tition for an election. It asked a hearing on the issue.
 The stewards are now represented by the CIO Marine Cooks and Stew ards Union. Graham held that the Stewards do not constitute an ap- oropTiate bargaining unit. He said the Alaska firm is a member ot the Pacific American Shipowners' Association. which deals with unions on 3 coast-wide basis.
 The appeal, sent to Washington today, said that because of the de- pendency of Alaska on water trans rortation, Alaska shipping should be able to negotiate agreements apart from those reached on a coast wide basis.

TO PROBE RED spy
 NETWORK
Shocking Proof Evidence Discovered -6rdnd Jury
 Action Is Asked
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-'R The House Un-American Activities Committee is handing grand jury today what it calls definite and shocking proof that Red spy network operated in the State De- partment before the war.
 At the request of the Justice Department, the committee sent one of it's investigators, William A. Wheeler, to New York. His mission. To turn over copies of secret papers to grand jury which has been Investigating Com munists and espionage for nearly year and half
 Underground Proof
 These are papers which the committee says a member of the Communist underground in the State Department turned oyer to another member on the outside for relay to Russian agents.
 The outside man was Whitaker Chambers. now Time magazine editor who admits he was cour- fer for the Communist underground in Washington before he broke with the Reds In 1938
 The committee is hanging on to another set of copies of the docu- ments, for use when it starts it's own spy hearings going again to- morrow-but perhaps behind clos ed doors.
 Prints Obtained
 The prints were made from mi- crofilms obtained by subpoena from Chambers last week. At the time, Chambers had them cached in a hollow pumpkin on his Maryland farm.
 Chambers has said these par ticular documents never reached the Russians because he got them while he was in the process of splitting with the Reds.
 Rep. Nixon Brought Back
 Robert E. Stripling, chief inves- tigator for the House committee, has said the hearings starting to- morrow will establish who fed the papers to Chambers from the State Department.
 The committee regards those hearings as so important that it enlisted the help of the Coast Guard and the Navy to bring one of it's members-Rep. Nixon R- Cab back from ship at sea.
 Damnably Important
 Immediately after his arrival last night Nixon went inte a huddle with Stripling to go over the documents. His first reaction was

JOHNSON ISLAND, Dec. 6.--tal- An undetermined number of surviv- ors from an Air Force C-54 trans port, forced down in the mid-pacific, were placed under constant air watch today while a rescue ship sped towards the scene.
 The plane, enroute to Spokane with 37 Air Force personnel acoard, was ditched early Sunday 478 m les southwest of this tiny island and about 1900 miles southwest ot Honolulu.
 The Navy patrol craft PC-1141, from Johnston Island, was due to reach the survivors about l pm. Johnston Island time A pm, PST). The escort aircraft carrier Rendova and the Navy freighter Zelma were due at the scene about the same time.
 Flares were sighted late Sunday night by B-l7 search plane which dropped a 27-foot boat.
 Officers directing the rescue oper- ation said flares seen later indi- cated that at least some of the castaways had managed to board the boat.
 The B-17, which made the first sighting was damaged in dropping the boat, and returned immediately to Johnston Island with it's rad.o broken end hole in it's fuselage.
 A Navy privateer relocated the men early today and took up vigil overhead.
 Relays of planes were to maintain this watch until the surface craft arrived.
 The C-54 was one of five en route from Okinawa to Spokane. with ground personnel of the 98th Bomb Group. It was d.tched at am (1o:06 am. EST) Sunday after two engines failed.
 Its radio. locked on the distress signal, continued to operate for eight minutes afterward. This indication ], that the plane did not sink immed.- ately, was the basis for hopes that I a large number of the 30 passengers and crew of seven escaped into life rafts.
