Adventists Conclude
Conference Tonight;
Sabbath IS Stressed

Importance of observing the
Sabbath was stressed last night
as the Today camp meeting of
the Potomac Conference of Sew
enth-day Adventists neared an
end at Takoma Park.
The last session, at 8 o'clock to-
night, will be addressed by Elder
Francis D. Nichol, Adventist news
paper editor.
Discussing the Sabbath, Elder
Leslie r. Manseu of Roanoke said
faithful observance of the Sabbath
would cure many of the worlds
Ills"
If the Sabbath of God had been
faithfully kept and observed down
through the ages" he continued
communism, atheism, evolution
and every form of idoltry would
not be rampant in the world to-
day"
He said observance of the Sab
bath Is more than a form OF Wor-
ship. 1T is the test of genuine
discipleship. The Christian church
cannot consistently claim ale
gience to God If it fails in recog-
nizing the Sabbath as the memo
rial of Gods creative powers"
The Share Your Faith" pro-
gram inaugurated by the Adven-
fists two years ago is making
rapid progress. it was reported
yesterday afternoon. Elder o. S.
Hershberger. youth leader Of the
Columbia Union Conference of Ad-
ventists, said many young people
"are gaining new life in their
Christian experience by taking
part in soul winning for Others"

First of Two Parts

ID BOARDING Dale Grayson strictly as an
IL architect (which l was never entirely
successful in doing, there were several major
flaws: Her figure was too perfect. her COM
plexion too good, her lips too exciting and
her clear gray eyes too lovely. We had few
clients, but even the most staid forgot much
too readily that Miss Grayson was chockful
of technical ability Each of them appeared to
become obsessed with the idea that he could
best talk business with her in night club
after an evening of theater.
OF course, this was good for the firm of
Warren & Grayson in business way, but at
the same time it was infuriating. As the senior
member of the firm, preferred riding to the
top on brains But nature had decreed other
wise. Only knew how smart the young lady
was, only preserved the clnically mpersonal
attitude. Or, at least, kidded myself that
did.
Just recently my confidence in Miss Gray
son had been justified, which was how We
happened to find ourselves in the Blue Pen
guin, quarreling bitterly at five o'clock in the
afternoon.

Can't you understand, Steve, that all want
is to continue with you? We started this firm
with nothing but ourselves. We can get to the
top together. That's the way l want it.
Your viewpoint" told her, is not archi-
tectural Id say it was tainted with biology"
is that bad? And even if it is, can helpit?"

you've forgotten how much your profession
means to you. You went through Michigan
the hard way, reaching for your professional
degree. That proves that architecture means
more to you than anything else in the world.
Now you've got chance to tie up with the

What would you do?"
IN get along Keep the same Office, most
likely. Fortunately, I'm not worried, fnan-
cially, and never have been skidded through

SHE said, "You never even took biology as
minor course, did you?'
That has nothing to do with what we're
discussing. You've got your big chance, and
I'm compelling you to take it. And if you
start looking like that, III ..."

which - statistically - might give you all
the wrong idea. She wore her years gracefully,
even proudly, and the avoirdupois was pic
turesquely distributed. She had red hair and
a lovely complexion, and, after taking note
of those good points, l observed that she
seemed to be having lots of no fun.
A drink sat on the table in front of her. but
she hadn't touched it. She sat holding the
edge of the table as though to brace herself,
as though the room was refusing to hold still

thing can do?"
The redhead gave her wan, grateful smile.
She said, IF you'd help me to a taxi. -"
Dale motioned to me. l dropped bill on
the table, and grabbed my hat and coat. We
ranged on either side of the redhead and
started for the door.
I'm fairly hefty guy. but there were mo-
ments when needed all my strength to keep
the girl from falling. She wore tense, fixed
smile; gallant effort to keep people from
knowing that she wasn't well. We escort

Dale lived on East Fifty-sixth Street. just
around the corner from the Blue Penguin.
Her suggestion seemed to make sense and to
be humane to boot.
The cab stopped in front of the door. We
conveyed our charge through the lobby -
refusing assistance from the ancient and
portly doorman - and up to Dale's second
floor apartment in the self-service elevator.

stained crimson. The girls breathing was
dangerously shallow, her eyes were closed.
"Why didn't she tell us?' asked, not be-

release some of the tension that was crowding
in too fast. ''She wasn't shot in the restau-

|PIan for One Ahache
In Foreign Capitals 10
Save Money Weighed
By John A. Giles

The possibility of having one
military attache in foreign capi-
tails to report for the Army, Navy
and Air Force, instead of three as
is the case in some countries now,
is being explored in an overall
study of defense intelligence &C
tivities, it was learned today.
The plan calls for the service
with the dominant interest" in
particular country to be the sole
mill AIRY representative in the en-
bassy there and to report on land,
sea and air activities of that ma
ton.
Thus, for example. the attache
in Switzerland would be an Army
or Air Force officer and the ore
in Denmark, a naval officer. The
plan would apply particularly to
the smaller countries. Whether or
not the present Army, Navy and
Air Force attaches in London,
Paris and Moscow and in some
other embassies would be replaced
by one representative has not been
decided, it was said.
Part Of Overall Effort.
The plan is being studied, as
part of the overall effort to merge
intelligence activities to effect
monetary savings. The survey
comes under the duties Of Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney. recently ap-
pointed chairman of the Defense
Management Committee.
Gen. McNarney has not yet re-
ported to Defense Secretary john
son on his recommendations for
intelligence changes.
The United States now has
Army, Navy and Air Force at
taches in some embassies and in
some others only one representa-
tive, depending on the extent Of
the military development Of the
particular countries involved.
Patchwork Of Information.
The reports these attaches
make to their services constitute
a patchwork of information which
is pieced together here to make
an overall intelligence estimate for
guidance in strategic planning.
The attaches are especially trained
in observance of weapons develop
ments and maneuvers of the serv-
ice to which they are attached.
Presumably the solitary attaches
would have to be given specialized
intelligence training by the other
two services before they could re-
port adequately from the foreign
embassies. A naval attache would
have to be given some education
on tank warfare, for instance,
while an Army or Air Force at
tache would have to be brieied
on what he should report as to
what a foreign power was doing
on the sea.
