By Roy L. TaWes

STANDING UP TO LIFE bv
Frank Halliday Ferris. Bobbs-Mer-
rill Company, Indianapolis. $3.50.
A good book of the pulpit. There
are fifteen messages that offer the
help of God for daily living. and
thirty prayers that are models of
devotional expression. "The Bible
is always prepared for the worst.
1t never conceals from itself that
a time may come when only a rem
nant Will remain who will hold the
race to finer things But the Bible
is sure God never leaves Himself
without a witness. 1t stakes every
thing on the continuing presence in
the world of men capable of holding
themselves to the highest that thew
know"

Arresting titles and lines with a

Washington outstanding preach
ers. Chapters like these attracted
the attention of Time Magazine.
and crowded the church of their au-
thor. DR.. Davies calls for an inner
reality to match the real world
and the real problems in it. The
book has three divisions: To Some
Who Feel Lost, Courage Is What
You Do About It. and Thus to Ven
ture. when we pray, we keep tell
ing God how great He is, lest, if we
paused for a moment, He should
have a chance to call on us for
greatness. And we keep Him long
way off, lest He breathe into our
nostrils the breath of His life and
we become living souls"

Troops Survive
A-Blast $500 Yards
From Ground Zero

LAS VEGAS, New, R-Twenty
two hundred Marines crouched in
trenches witnessed the most spec
tacular atomic blast of the spring
series-a shot that flashed blind
ing white then turned beautiful
rosy orange during an unusually
ng-lingering afterglow Saturday.
The pre-dawn defamation, first
to involve Marines maneouvering
in helicopters, was set off from
a 300-foot tower.
After the explosion the ground
troops from Camp Pendleton,
Calf, and Camp LeJeune, NC,
scrambled up and advanced in a
tactical exercise toward a mock
enemy Their trenches were 1000
yards from Ground Zero.
Leap-frogging over them came
200 more Marines in 40 Sikorsky
helicopters applying vertical en-
velopment tactics similar to those
carried out in World War II by
gliders and paratroops.
Six Marines and six soldiers
rode out the blast in trenches well
in advance of the main body Of
troops. Authorities wouldn't dis
close their distance from the blast.
Nine volunteers were stationed
$500 yards from Ground Zero in
a previous test.
The exercise commander, Brig.
Gen. William @. Bullock, said
there were no casualties.
The brilliant flash was seen in
Los Angeles, $50 miles away, as
an orange-yellow glow illuminat-
ing the entire sky.
Rabbits were exposed to the
blast for military effects tests.
Sheep were used, too, to show the
Marines the effect Of a bomb on
living things.

Treasury Secty. Asserts
No Depression In US.
Even If There Is Peace

NEW YORK, RHSecretary of
the Treasury George M. Humph-
rey said today the United States
is mot headed for depression"
whether there is a truce in Korea
or even a real peace.
saThere is no reason to fear
peace" he said.
In his first address since he took
office in the Eisenhower admins
tration, Humphrey outlined fis-
cal policy that called for a reduc-
ton in taxes when governmental
expenses "are under control"
''Taxes must come down." he
said. cts simply matter of
timing geared to reduction of ex-
pense. Both are too high and
both must be reduced.
''We are not going to have a
depression in America whether we
have an armistice, a real peace,
or continue to develop a proper
and balanced posture Of defense.
There is no reason for depres-
sion unless we fail ourselves to do
the things we ought to do and
lack the courage and foresight to
do them.
"There will be readjustments,
of course. There are always re
adjustments taking place in any
active economy, sometimes to the
advantage or detriment of one
group and sometimes to another
But depression, No. We cannot
preserve our way of life through
another dong, deep depression and
we must never permit it to occur"

Mckay Says Statehood
For Alaska Will Depend
On The Bill Submitted

WASHINGTON, Up Secretary
Of the Interior Mckay said yes
terday he expects Hawaii to be-
come a state, but that Alaska
statehood would depend upon
the bill submitted to Congress-"
ut would be very foolish to
allow any territory to come into
this Union unless they could sup
port themselves as a state" Nc
Kay continued. "That is the only
question involved, I believe"
Mckay said he favored all pos
sible cooperation with Canada. He
noted that the Pacific Northwest
will want Canadian cooperation
in connection with some dams
that would back the Columbia
River waters across the border;
that the Northwest wants natural
gas, and Canada is one source;
and that Canada has cheap coal
$50 l think we should be very
cooperative in doing all we can
to develop both in our economies"

Govt. Orders Communist
Party Bare Membership,
Give Financial Accounting

WASHINGTON, pa govern
ment board Monday branded the
US. Communist party as "a sub
sidiary and puppet of the Soviet
Union and ordered the party to
bare its membership lists and give
a financial accounting.
The order is subject to review
by the courts.
The four present members of
the Subversive Control Board ag-
reed unanimously that the party
lis substantially directed, domin-
ated and controlled" by Moscow.
The party, the Board said "op-
crates primarily to advance the
objective" of a Russian-directed
world Communist movement.
The Boards order was issued
almost 10 months after former
Atty. Gen. j. Howard McGrath
started a registration proceeding
against the party.
Indications are that it will be
year or more before the SUI
preme Court has the final say on
constitutionality of the 1850 Inter
nal Security McCarran) Act I'M
der which the Board acted.
