But # this be all, we shall miss

that Jesus, the young man from

the whole structure of Christian

about the good life of Jesus, his
enchanting words, and his tragic
death on the cross, but If the
grave is not empty, if he did not
come forth on h e third day

that has been done by his follow
ers thru the centuries Is, futile.
Our preaching is vain and our
faith rest on a lie.
If did not believe, with all
of my being that Jesus IS alive,

| believe as did Peter, that this
Jesus who lived and was crucified

salvation is To be found in him
and him alone. | believe that God
has given him a name that is
above every name, and that at his
name every knee shall bow, and
every tongue confess that he is
Lord and Saviour of all who come
unto him.
He lives, he lives and because
he lives we too shall live. He is
as near to us today as he was to
his immediate disciples. He offers
to us the same arresting and

District Link Asked
With Bethesda Squad

District Fire Chief Millard H.
Sutton today recommended to
the Commissioners that the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad be made a part of the
city's emergency ambulance Serv-
ice.
The city heads referred the
proposal to Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West for a study of
the legal implications.
The Rescue Squad, an inde-
pendent organization, has been
interested for some time in es-
tabliShing an official tie-in with
the District. It often answers
emergency calls in the city now.
Chief Sutton said the integra-
ton of the squad with the Dis
trict'S ambulance service would
immeasurably increase the cover
age and efficiency of the service. !"
He explained that under the
proposal the rescue squad would
assign one of its ambulances to
the District. A direct telephone
line would be installed from the
nearest District fire company to
the squad. The Fire Department
would install a mobile radio in
the squad ambulance.
In advocating the plan Chief
Philip Melillo, head of the rescue
squad, said it would eliminate
present duplication of effort.

HOF, Germany, Sept. 1.-And
now somebody's cracked the
Iron Curtain with a steamroller.
Georg Steinmetz, an East Ger
man, was operating one on a
bridge at a border crossing near
here yesterday. He got special
Soviet zone permission to drive
the heavy roller across the
bridge and turn it around on
the West German side.
Instead of returning. he asked
West German border guards for
political asylum.
Startled Soviet zone guards on
the other side of the bridge
looked on helplessly.
It was the first time a steam
roller had been used for fight
to the West. In July, a Czech
mechanic escaped with seven
others in a homemade armored
car. Others have fed in COM

To Plan Korea ParIey;;

Prediction Freely Made
Any Suggestion Will Get
Communist Rejection

Allied diplomats gathered here
today to propose a time and
place for a Korean political con-
ference, but they freely predicted
the Communists will reject what
ever they suggest
Invited to the State Depart
ment were representatives of the
is nations that joined the United
States in sending troops to the
defense of South Korea.
All are eligible to sit on the
allied side of the table at the
political conference. Under
United Nations resolutions, the
Communists will pick their own
negotiators. and the whole group
will arrange details of the
agenda, time and place of meet
ing.
DR.. You Chang Yang, South
Korean Ambassador to Wash
ington, said in an interview that
South Korea will not agree to
any conference in India, Ceylon
or Indonesia. He predicted that
the Communists will propose a
meeting in one of these coun-
tries.
DR.. Yang favored holding the
conference in San Francisco, the
birthplace of U. N. but nobody
thought there was any chance Of
Red agreement to such a site
Most frequently mentioned was
Geneva, and a possible starting
date of October Is.
The allied recommendations
will be transmitted to Commu-
mist China and North Korea,
who, along with Russia, are ex-
pected to represent the Com
munist side at the Korean con-
ference.
South Korea probably will be
invited to take part in today's
meeting. Since South Korea is
not a member of the U NJ, the
U. N. representatives will de-
eide at the beginning of their
session whether to invite Mr.,
Yang. Officials said this was a
pure formality, however.
Besides the United States and
South Korea, the nations in
vited the State Department
conference are Australia, Bel
I gium, Canada. Colombia, Ethi-
opia, France, Greece, Luxem-
bourg, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, the Philippines, Thai
land. Turkey, South Africa and

tries are expected to decline the
invitation to take part in the

they will participate in the plan
