Isaiah AZ: 1,6: Behold my servant,

put my spirit upon him: he shall
bring forth judgment to the Cen

Jesus presented the ideal of God
better than could any man whose
origin was less spiritual. BY his
obedience to God, he demonstrat-
ed more spiritually than all other
the Principle of being" Up. 25).
His consummate example was for
the salvation of us all, but only
through doing the works which he
did and taught others to do. His
purpose in healing was not alone
to restore health, but to demon
strate his divine Principle. He was
inspired by God, by Truth and
Love, in all that he said and did,.

 Alaska Troops Saved Taxpayers $9,OOO,OOO in 1852

WASHINGTON, R-The Army said Monday it's troops in Alaska saved the taxpayers more than nine million dollars last year through increased cost conscious ness on the part of every soldier and civilian employee"
 Col. Esthel Q. Strouble, Army comptroller in Alaska, said in a news release that this is more than enough to pay the annual food bill for an Army division.
 Strouble said the biggest single saving resulted from the repair and reissue of equipment, the re- placement of which would have cost six million dollars.
 Economies in the use of gasoline saved $120,00O, streamlining of the Alaska General Depot's trans portation operations saved $154,- 748, and improved freight hand ling cut $68,794 from the Arrny's freight bill, the comptroller said.

WealthyWar Vets
 Take Advantage of Free VA Hospitals

LOUISVILLE, Ky, LR - The Louisville Times said Tuesday that wealthy war veterans are taking advantage of inadequate laws to get free treatment at Vet erans Administration hospitals.
 All they need to do, the Times said in a copyrighted article, is to state they are unable to pay. The law will not permit an investiga- ton of their ability to pay.
 Abuses of the laws loopholes have been pinpointed by the US. comptroller general, Lindsey War ren, in a report to the House Armed Services Committee, ac- cording to the paper.
 It said the report cited exam pies, included in a cross-section summary of the financial status of 336 veterans getting free care at government expense for ailments in no way related to war service.
 More than half of the 336, the report was quoted, have incomes of more than $5,000 a year and at least one is worth, between $50O,- 900 and one million dollars.
 Others were shown to have as- sets ranging from $2O,0OO to $500,- 900 in addition to incomes of up to $5O,O0O a year.

Reds Propose To Exchange Only 600 Allied Wounded

MUNSAN, Korea, R-The Com munists today said they are ready to send home 500 disabled prison CTS of war-a figure that includes only 150 Americans and other LIN. soldiers. The chief Allied negotiator asked for a recount, and added: "I have hopes we will get more"
 Rear Adm. John c. Daniel told the Communists their figure was incredibly small," and asked "that you have these figures re- viewed" He said later, however, that "I have no reason to believe at the present time that they are not acting in good faith"
 The LIN. command offered to return $500 sick and wounded Communists - 5,100 North Kor- cans and 700 Chinese.
