BLOODY
 RI0TING,
 BERLIN

BERLIN, May 23-RETne three Western military commanders re- jected today petition from the West Berlin city government to seize strike-bound elevated rail- way stations in the city.
 The strike against the Soviet appointed management of the rail- ways, now in it's third day, was marked by weekend of bloody rioting in which Soviet-controlled police used guns against mobs of strikers and their sympathizers.
 The decision of the military com manders of the United States, Britain and France in effect re- affirmed the property rights of the Russian railway sys- tenn. The rights were established in 1945 by Four-Power agreement.
 The anti-Communist city gov eInment had asked Western author ities for the right to send their own police into railway installations and stations in Western sectors, with the backing of American. British and French authorities. The strikers-numbering about l2,00o-. had been clamoring for Western intervention.
 The strikers are making three demands. First, withdrawals of Soviet-sectoy police from all rail- way installations. Second, replace ment of Soviet by Western-sector police, and third. collection of all fares on the elevateds in Western money This would makesit pos sible for the workers to be paid in Western Marks, which are four times as valua.sle as the money the railway employees have been getting from the Soviet sector
 There have been at least B serious injuries in the fighting be- tween the railway strikers and the combined forces of Soviet-polict and Communist strikebreakers.

 They said the crowd marched down a main thoroughfare and tried to smash through the barri- caded gate.

be understood by such men,
Reverend Clements gave his sermons a practical
twist He applied basic religious teachings to the
topics Of the day, livened up the presentation of
ideas and caused his flock to bring others to hear
him. Before long he had increased the number Of
his congregation fOurfold. This only whetted the
Reverend Clements appetite for further ways to
build a financial backlog for further expansion
Being interested in all forms of investments" I
must tell of his unique plan.
Modern Parable of the Talents
He made visit to the local bank The minister
came away with loan of $500, having given his
note as security. The loan was passed out by the
minister to the church members in crisp new bills:
$40 for those fifteen years old IS for those
between ten and fifteen years of age 81 for children
between the ages Of six and ten. This was no gift,
but strictly business loan.
Mr.. Clements then asked that each person invest
the money in such fashion that it would be doubled
by specific date. They all went to work immedi-
ateiy; the women sold cakes pies, rolls and cookies
Men thought up other ways of increasing their mon
ey. group of families bought concession at a
country fair and sold all manner of things When
the final settlement day came the $500 was paid
back to the bank and an additional S1124 went
into the church treasury.
United Front for Religion
This modern application of the parable of the
talents should give heart 70 many us who have long
been urging greater support to the churches as
the only answer to materialsm and tOtalitarianism
People Of all races, natiOnalties, and creeds are
eager to contribute their physical energies to a
spiritual rebirth if they shown the way. The
enormous power of religion to sublimate the good
in mems souls, to defeat the forces of evil can be
generated only if all of good will throughout
the world work together. With the atomic bomb
hanging like the sword of DamOcles over our heads
no time can be lost in devising plans to aid the
churches which alone can us and our children
from complete destruction.

machine is mounted on a wagon
truck and driven by a small gaso-

delivered from one side of the ma
chine in neat piles, while the fod-

much faster than it can be done
