No. 2 COP candidate told a small
crowd he considered Senator Rever-
comb a valued member" of Con-
gress and that he held "a tremen-
dously important position" as chair
man OF the Senate Public Works
Committee.
Gov. Warren's failure to come out
for the Senator last night clearly
pointed up the rift.
Coolness between the Republican
team" and Senator Revercomb has
its source IN differences arising be-
tween Gov Dewey and the West
Virginian at the last special session
Of Congress.
Then Gov. Dewey openly criticized
Senator Revercomb's attitude in re-
fusing. after two personal appeals
from Albany, to change his position
against liberalizing eligibility pro-
visions of the displayed persons bill
The bill subsequently became law.
In Charleston, Senator Revercomb
said today he considers Gov. War
ren's call for Republican Congress
as personal Endorsement.

for the Senate in West Virginia, -
he declared. I'm delighted to have

Russians Operating
American B-25s in
Their German Zone
By the kssoeiotsd Press


BERLIN, Oct. 6.-The Russians
revealed today they have some
American BIS bombers in Ger
many.
This disclosure followed the re-
port yesterday that the Russians
also were operating copies of the
American B-29 Super Fortress in
their zone of Germany.
They revealed this in posting a
warning at the four power air safety
center that they would conduct To-
cal flying in the Allies southern air
corridor. This flying was scheduled
at Koethen air field, southwest of
Berlin.
The Russians specified that B-25s
would be aloft. This is the old
American Mitchell bomber, said
Capt. Vincent H. Gookin, American
representative at the safety center.
Reds Plan Gun Practice.
The Russians notified the Western
powers they would be holding low
altitude gunnery practice, under
$500 feet, near one of the air-lift
corridors today.
Capt. Vincent H. Gookin, Ameri-
can representative at the four
power air safety center, said such
practice was perfectly legal and
described it as routine.
1t is so low that it is probably
heavy machine-gun fire, rather than
real anti-aircraft fire." Capt. Gookin
said.
American airlift planes usually
fly around 5000 feet or higher.
Pilot Reports B-es.
The report of the presence of
Russian B-29s in Germany was
given by 1t. Martin Won Rosenberg
OF New York. former B-29 pilot
He said he recognized Soviet YER
sions of the giant four-engined
plane flying high over Berlin's
western air corridor. The planes
were in formation with attack
bombers which looked like Ameri-
can A-20's and presumably were
participating in air maneuvers.
A high Allied air officer, who
asked to remain unidentified. said
the Russians have about 4,50O planes
in the Eastern zone, of which 1900
are front-line combat planes.
Airlift Not Hindered.
1t. Won Rosenberg said the Rus
sian model B-29 formation flight
did not hinder the airlift nor at
tempt to harass it. He said other
pilots also saw the planes.
The senior air officer who told of
Soviet flying strength in Germany
said the bulk of the fleet consisted
of low-level attack fighter bombers
They are improved versions of the
Stormovik which the Russians used
effectively in ground support work
against the Germans, he COM
mented.
The figure of 4,500 is believed to
be about 10 times the availa BILE
American aircraft in Germany.

States position on Franco remains
unchanged
1916 Objective Failed.
The basis of American policy is
that this Government would like to
see Spain recognized again as a
respected member of the family of
nations, but that it is up to the
Spanish people themselves to DEM
onstrate and convince others that
they are worthy of such recognition.
Object Of the 1916 resolution
against the Franco regime was to
exert such pressure as to compel
change in the Spanish government,
eliminating Franco and his sup
porters. But, officials here point out,
1t did not have this effect.
The United States showed no
enthusiasm for the original U. N.
resolution, fearing that it would
not have the desired effect, but
voted for it to go along with ma
jority sentiment in the U. N. and
to help stave of more drastic ac-
ton.
Senator Gurney told reporters he
doesn't know the views of Gov.
Dewey, Republican presidential can
didate, on the Spanish problem.
But he said he hopes that If
Gov. Dewey wins, the new admin
istration will move toward closing
the long standing breach between
this country and the anti-Com-
munist Franco regime.
Guerney to Urge Help.
Senator Gurney said he is con-
vinced that Spain should be ad-
mitted to membership in the United
Nations. From a practical stand
point" he said, I'VE should not
leave stone unturned until we get
back on a happy relationship"
Senator Gurney said he will rec
ommend to his committee and Sec
retary of Defense Forrestal that
Spain be given both economic and
military help. He said such a move
would be to the advantage of other
Western European powers-and they
should encourage Spain's joining
the United Nations.
To newsman's question as to
whether Senator Gurney does not
care that Spain is not a democracy,
the Senator replied:
Il do care. But it is not up to us
to say what kind of government a
country should have"
The New York Times report of
Gen. Marshalls proposal to Britain
and France said both British For
eign Secretary Bevin and French
Foreign Minister Schuman were
hesitant about sponsoring a move to
rescind the U. N. anti-Franco reso-
luton. They were reported con-,
cerned about the reaction such a
move would cause in the British
Labor Party and the French So
cialist Party.

The triune symbol of bap-
tism, death to Sin, Life in
God, and Power for Service"
was Overseer Ernest E. Har-
woods appropriate subject on
Tuesday evening as twelve per-
sons were baptized by Triune
Immersion. That there has
been healthy and persistent
growth in the Christian life
among Zion's youth during the
past year was amply demon
strated Wednesday evening in
the "Youth Night" service. The
message was delivered by Ell
der Percy Rusch. The conclud-
ing evening meeting on Thurs
day was addressed by the Gen.
eral Overseer. The power of
music as a spiritual force in the
worship of God was demon
strated at the Grand Ensemble
Concert of the combined must
cal organizations of the Chris
tan Catholic Church held
in Zion Auditorium, Friday,
October LIST, at 800 P. M. The
music rendered was almost en-
tirely of a religious character
and was consistent with the
spiritual atmosphere of the
entire Convocation. The close
link between that which is
beautiful and that which is
good is grounded in the very
nature of God and demon
strates the important place
which beauty should have
(whether in the form of mu-
sic or in some other aspect of
art) in the most profound ador-
alton Of God.
