All Hail The NezC Birth!

Men bow to their Satanic Master
Whose heart, once knd, has turned to stone;
They rush to victory or disaster,
AS Hates dark forces clash and groan.
In spite of crimes we're still improving,
Where Faith inspires and sets the gauge;
In spite of wars we're forward moving
To greater, better, peaceful age.
Arise and prepare for the New Day breaking
And gladly hail the aquarium dawn;
The spirit of love in the world is waking,
For Christ in hearts of men is born.

BERLIN, May 5.-Two recent
orders affecting Russian sol
diers in Soviet-occupied Ger
many have been received IN
Berlin. The first order will
clear the Soviet territories Of all
dependents. The second COM
mands all Russian soldiers to be
extremely friendly with the Ger
mans.
The second order is designed
gradually to eradicate the bad
impression made by the former
Russian hordes. The first order
was issued because many Russian
dependents had succumbed to
what was described as the "de-
praving influence Of Western civil
lization." They are to be repatri-
ated to the bosom of Eastern cul-
ture."
Behind these orders is q story
of no small import. Berlin has
become q center of 'Titoist &C
tivities," as anti-Soviet prcpa-
ganda has been called by the
party liners. Here members OF
the Tito-Cominform are said to
be forming an effective resistance
movement among Russian troops
against the Kremlin bosses. This
movement is called NTS, which is
an abbreviation of q Russian
slogan meaning death to the

Competition Is Urged
In Color TeIevision
By Fec Member
by the Assoeioted Press

A member of the Federal Com
Munications Commission today re-
vived q suggestion that more than
one color television system be
authorized for regular commercial
operations.
Commissioner Robert F. Jones
indicated that he, for one, favors
. competitive situation in the
color field. rather than a govern
mental authority which would re-
suit in one company stepping into
the valuable rights to patent
royalties.
Mr.. Jones developed the idea
during q lengthy examination of
David Sarnoff. Radio Corp. of
America board chairman, who
completed two days of testimony
at FCC's color hearings shortly
before midnight last night.
Mr.. Sarnof made it clear that
he considered RCA's color system
to be superior to the rival plans
sponsored by Columbia Broadcast
ing System and Color Television,
Inc, of San Francisco, but he
declared:
I'VE are not opposed to COM
petition. We are not asking for
exclusive rights in the color field.
We ask that FEC set up basic
standards for color television and
let any one who can meet those
standards go ahead with opera
tions."
He asserted that RCA could
meet the standards he suggested,
but said CHS could not do so be-
cause existing sets would require
an adapter to pick up Columbia
colorcaSts in black and white.
Other industry witnesses have
testified that there is no known
receiver which could tune in each
Of the three competing color
systems.
