JUN. Command Fears Reds Will

MUNSAN, Korea, (R A new Red plan for exchanging prison CTS of war and an Allied com promise for supervising a Korean truce with neutral observers fell on cold shoulders today.
 The United Nations Command expressed fears publicly for the first time that the Communists might not give up all the prison CTS they hold.
 "The U. N. Command is con- cerned," an official communique said, "that premature agreement on bulk exchange of prisoners be fore adequate data is available, could result in sizable numbers not being recovered"
 The Red proposal called for re- lease of all prisoners. The JUN. insists on a man-for-man ex- change.

Eisenhower Must Seek COP Nomination In Order To Get It

WASHINGTON, (P Senator Ferguson R-Mich) said today he doesn't think Gen. Dwight D.. Eisenhower can get the 1852 Re- publican presidential nomination unless he seeks it openly.
 The Michigan senator, who hasn't taken sides in the presi- dential contest, told reporters he has the impression that Eisen- hover would be available" but doesn't believe that is enough.
 ''I think Eisenhower would ac- cept the nomination but I don't believe he can get it without run ming for it," Ferguson commented.
 Ferguson's comments came after Senator Russell D-Ga told a news conference it will be a major miracle" if all the diff entities confronting the North At lantic Treaty Organization now commanded by Eisenhower can be ironed out in the next ten or twelve months.

 Of Ambassador To Britain

CAIRO, Egypt, .(P) - Acting Foreign Minister Ibrahim Farag Pasha announced today Egypt Is considering the recall of her. am- bassador from London but so far has reached no decision.
 Cairo newspapers reported earl fer that the cabinet had decided to bring home Ambassador Abdel Fattahamr Pasha "as a protest against British aggression in the Suez Canal Zone"
 The same reports said the cab- inet last night also had decided to severely punish" Egyptians collaborating with the British and to permit all citizens to possess arms.
 Farag told newSmen the for eign ministry's legal department is preparing a memorandum on diplomatic relations with Britain and nothing has been decided, pending completion of this mem- Orandum."
 Egypt has been threatening to break off diplomatic relations with Britain since the British army destroyed a village outside Suez City last Saturday to make way for a military road. Recall of the ambassador would be a step short of a complete cut in diplomatic ties.

Metal Drip Edge,
Flashing Strip
Bar Roof Damage

When applying asphalt shingles
to new deck or oyer an old roof,
a metal drip edge and flashing
strip" of mineral-surfaced roll
roofing at least 36 inches wide
should be applied along the caves.
The purpose is to protect the
roof deck and interior walls and
ceilings from damage in the event
the roof drainage system becomes
clogged because of ice forming in
caves troughs. The flashing strip,
extending SO inches up the roof,
prevents backed-up slush and
snow from penetrating the roof
deck.
First to be applied Is the metal
drip edge, made of corrosion-
resistant 26-gauge sheet metal.
Galvanized steel, painted on both
sides, generally is used. The drip
edge, two to four iEshes wide,
should be bent down over the
caves far enough to cover the
edges of the roof deck sheathing.
Then the flashing strip of heavy
asphalt roll roofing is placed along
the caves in such a manner that
it will overhang the metal drip
edge by one-fourth to three
eighths of an inch.

his life to France. In his early life
he was a Troubadour, going from
court to court. With the hazards
of travel in those days, the coming
of Spring always meant much to
a Troubadour, so Fortunatus hailed
it with delight in his writing of
this hymn. This particular hymn
expresses eloquently the intense
joy the Eastertide brings to every
age. Fortunatus wrote several
hymns all of whose solemnity and
pathos are in strong contrast to
his light-hearted, easy-going hab-
its. He became a priest, and in his
later life, the Bishop of Portiers.
The English translation of 'Wel-
come Happy Morning was made
by the Rev. John Ellerton. 1t may
be said to be a paraphrase of this
old Latin Hymn rather than a
translation. Ellerton was a coun-
try parson but his influence on
Church Hymnody was very wide.
The tune, Fortunatus, was COM
posed by Arthur Seymour Sullivan,
for the hymnary as professional
for Easter morning in 1872. Sulli-
van. the son of an English band
master, after several years of mus
ic study in England, won the Men
delssohn Scholarship which enab-
led him to study years at the
Leipzig Conservatory in Germany.
He was a master of melody and
orchestration which shows itself in
this hymn tune.
Welcome Happy Morning
Welcome happy morning, age to
age shall say,
Hell today is vanquished, heaven
is won today;
Lo, the Dead is living, God for
evermore,
Him their true Creator, all His
works adore.
Refrain
Welcome happy morning, age to
age adore.
Earth her joy confesses, clothing
her with spring,
ALI good gifts returned with her
returning King;
Bloom in every meadow, leaves on
every bough,
Speak His sorrow ended, hail His
triumph now.

Thee in their flight;
