Cast Of 100 ReteIIs
independence Story
Al Philadelphia
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, July 4.-The
bell of freedom tolled again today
ON this historic Fourth of July.
The Nation relived the birth
of American liberty, and prayed
for worldwide peace in a dra-
matte re-declaration of independ-
ence on this 175th anniversary of
the signing of that immortal
document.
At Independence Hall. the Ma
tion's most cherished shrine, July
4, 1776, was recreated in all the
colorful splendor of Colonial
days.
A costumed cast of 100 retold
history. The "ghoSts" of Benja-
min Franklin, Thomas jefferson,
John Hancock, John Adams, Pat
rick Henry came back to sign
the declaration.
1t was the elimination of a
four-day independence jubilee.
The tower Bell in the Old State
House, a block from independence
Hall, tolled the year, 1851, and
the anniversary, ITS.
Thousands listened and watched
in Independence Square.
Congress and the Philadelphia
city council held token meetings
in Independence Hall. The Penn
Sylvania State Legislature held a
mock session in the State House.
Senator Duff, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania, chief speaker, said
America "at this very hour of
greatness" faces the gravest
danger in our whole life as a ma
ton"
The former Pennsylvania Gov
ernor blamed Russia for the
worlds unrest and asserted the
Kremlin "aggressively prepared
for further war"
Disgusting an old tyranny
under new name Russia seeks
to reimpose upon people every
where the very shackles and
tyranny of the past from which
we in America were freed by our
declaration of independence, :"
Senator Duff said, adding:
1--WE offer the world peace if we
may have peace without appease-
ment and with freedom. On these
terms peace is available right now
to the world of today, but only
on the terms of freedom from ag-
gression."
Then came the "hallowed earth"
ceremony. Earth brought here
from Revolutionary War battle
fields in the 13 original States was
mixed with soil from Independ-
ence Square. In it was planted
an oak seeding, symbolic of new
life springing from earth conse-
Grated by the patriots of 1776.
Oak seedlings were placed, too,
In urnS containing the earth mix
ture. These will be sent to the
Governors of the 48 States for
ceremonial planting.

LOS ANGELES, July A su-

Douglas Skyrocket. has zoomed
nearly 10000 feet into the strato-
sphere at a dazzling speed of more
than 1000 miles an hour.
The rocket-propelled craft bet
tered all records for speed and
airplane altitude in a June II
test, the Navy announced guard
|edly yesterday. The exact figures
were withheld for security rea-
sons, but speed conjectures ran
from 1900 to $500 m.p.h. The
world altitude record for sll types
of aircraft is more than $4,000
feet set by an Army balloon in
1885.
The Air Forces XII, previous
unofficial record holder. tipped
1000 m.p.h. to an altitude of
$4,000 feet.
At the controls of the needle

pilot. He said the record was
made in level flight after he
climbed wide open to the desired

Mr.. Bridgeman told reporters
that the ship burst smoothly

they just liked to. He read some
place how the Chinese are great
ones for fireworks but they never
had the declaration in grammar
school. They were just making all
the noise to scare off devils or
something.
He got up and went down to
the basement and began to root
around in some of the old books
in the box, looking for copy Of
the declaration. He wanted to
see what it said. He couldn't find
it. He went back upstairs and
sat down. Anyway, he was sure
it said all men were free or some
thing. He was sure in his mind
the declaration stated this as a
fact. At least he felt he was sure.
There Are Excuses, Too.
But it certainly wasn't fact
some places. People weren't free
under the Nazis. People aren't
free under the Russians. He just
took it for granted people are
supposed to be free. He wished
he had the declaration so he could
read all it said on this subject
lii it was the declaration instead
of the Constitution. He ought to
read both of them, he thought.
He made up his mind he would.
But even as he made it up he
began making excuses not to be-

probably have to ask the librarian
anyway He hadn't been to Ii
brary in 20 years.
But he couldn't help wonder
ing why. in country like this,
where the schools drum the Dec
laration into kids heads, and
where everything is based on
being free, nobody ever talks
about it when they get out Of
school even though they shoot of
firecrackers. He figured maybe
it's because shooting off fire.

Getting Down to Cases

HOWEVER. while these laws were
- not directly intended for us, and
r not all disable by US. they are
well worth u study. because they
are examples Of how the great basic
principles Of the Ten Command.
ments were nee applied in prac.
teal living, and they give us valua-
bic hints on the way to apply the
Ten Commandments in our own
times.
One illustration Of this point
can be seen In Elk. 21:28-36, the
Law Of the Goring Ok. The Com
mandment reads simply: Thou
shalt not kill. But what II the
killing was done not by q man
but by his OK?
The law goes into the question Of
responsibility in an interesting way.
Not many readers OF these lines
own oxen, more likely tractors or
station wagons But the principle Of
responsibility for damage, the
principle Of criminal negligence, is
as good today as II was in 1900 BIC.
Fright" Isn't a Sum
COME Of these laws, indeed, could
be taken literally today, For in
stance, take Exodus 23:2, first part
Of the verse. This says pretty clear
ly something that millions Of people
TO this day don't understand. II
means this: The number Of people
who say a thing is right, or is
wrong, has nothing whatever to do
with the question, is 1t right or
wrong?
Most young people. at least, have
the notion that If everybody does
it" It must be right. Not at all.
The Judge Of all the earth Is Gcd.
not a majority vote. A thing can be
made legal by a majority vote in a
legislature, parliament or the like.
But not all the congressman from
Maine TO California can make a
thing right just by saying so.

Every once in a while II dawns
on some smart person that the RICH,

can't be settled, for a Christian, BY
a simple counting of votes for and

The number Of cocktail parties in
