Both favorites failed to
come through last night in
feature action at the Key
West Kennel Club when a
long shot, Mrs. H. E. Rus
sells Reckoning, captured
his third straight victory in
the creditable time of 30.4
seconds.
Avenger, who was fav-
ored to take the race, fin
ished third, a full four
lengths off the pace and
Mort, who had heavy sup
port from the fans, ended
UP a disappointing sixth.
Reckoning started from the
Number six position and took an
early lead never to be seriously
threatened. She finished 2Is
lengths ahead of Tammie, who
put forth a good effort.
Reckoning paid a nice $3.50,
and 900 and 800 while Tammie
returned 11.SO and $50. A ticket
on Avenger for show was good
for $50.
The fifth race Quiniela paid

Religious News Editor Of The Sscr

DR.. M. Chandler Stith Is a
lean, lanky Baptist who was
born in Louisville. KY. but looks
like q Texas Ranger.
He received q well-deserved
tribute this week from the Dis
trict Baptist Convention on COM
pleting 10 years as executive
secretary Of the organization.
In addition to the encomiums
he and Mrs. Stith were voted q
trip to the World Baptist Alli-
ance meeting in 1855 at London
as tangible evidence Of the con-
vention's appreciation for his
outstanding work.
The trip will be fine providing
it doesn't interfere with his be-
loved hunting forays. The for
mer are usually productive of
tasty venison dinners for his
Washington friends, with de-
tailed stories about how the an
imal was shot adding spice to
the meal.
Weighing 1876 pounds dripping

Has Vantage Point.
His years as executive secre-
tary have given him a vantage
point to note the church pic
ture in Washington.
The thing that continues to
impress me most about the
church situation here is the
amount of progress actually
made in spite of the fluid con-
dltlon that exists where people
have no roots" he said. mo
matter how long people live here
they do not belong here. They
are Just passing through"
His 10-year report pointed out
that 37,192 joined Baptist
churches during the decade
with these churches now having
a membership of 32,368. The
more than 100 per cent turn
over indicates the temporary
stay of many people in the Ma
TONS Capital.
The congregations and not
the preachers change" DR..
Stith emphasized.
His present extracurricular
interest is writing a history of
the BaptistS in Washington
Gathering the material took
nearly six years. He started
writing about two years ago. and
the work is approximately two
thirds complete.

The Picture in Europe

In Europe even the military
balance had shifted. The Red
Army, which five years ago could
have marched to the Channel
almost without opposition, today
is outnumbered on the critical
German front by the men and
armor of the Atlantic nations.
How that change came about,
and the role of the United States
in Europe's revival, is the story
that Theodore H. White tells in
Fire in the Ashes" (Sloane), one
of the most readable and informa-
tive books of the year. which re-
ceived wide distribution as the
November Book of the Month

Truce Without Victory

The American interest in Asia
was natural enough. with the Ko-
rean war apparently ending in
truce without victory. Some idea
of what that war was like to the
men who fought it is given by
S. L. A. Marshall in by far the
best book to come out of Korea,
The River and the Gauntlet"
(Morrow).
Gen. Marshall, a newSpaperman
turned military historian, tells the
story of an American defeat-the
bloody repulse of the 9th Army
along the Chongchon River in
North Korea in November of 1850,
when the home by Christmas"
