Owner jackson, according to
rumor,, took leaf out OF the
book of the late Rev. John JAS
per, firebrand Richmond, Va,
Baptist preacher during Recon-
struction days after the civil War.
His most famous sermon, which
he usually preached at revival
services, ''The Sun Do Move"
highlighted the whole world of
religion. Owner Jackson, it is
said, emulated Rev. Jasper's his
toric pastoral exhortation with
Satanic text, "The Devil Amt No
Good" He electrified his audi
ence filling in for the pastor OF
the church where he preached
this sermon. 1t was great Sun
day for the Devil haters. They
listened attentively from Amen
corners to the doors. He was
overwhelmed with handshakes
after the Benediction. Thus, we
repeat this rumor from a reliable
sourc. Our tonsorial aggregation
after reading this John Jasper
historical reminder can compare
the precepts of "The Sun Do
Move" and THE Devil Amt No
Good" with hearts and souls
reaching in humble submission
for planets unseen and undis-
closed Satanic mysteries.

Sen. Byrd Hints Truman
May Share Responsibility
For Ammunition Shortage

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Byrd
DIVA limited Thursday that top
level policy-makers all the way
UP to the White House under Har-
ry Truman may yet be found to
share some responsibility for am
munition shortages in Korea.
Byrd based his position on the
argument that a directive from the
Secretary Of Defense-then Gen.
George G. Marshan-on Sept. 27,
1850, amounted to virtual "slow-
down" order to the armed services
in the war effort. That was just
three months after the Korean
War began.

BY FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, The case
for Alaska statehood was virtual
ly completed today as the House
Territories subcommittee went
into its fourth day of hearings.
Chairman Saylor said he hoped
to complete hearings today and
begin committee deliberations ON
the bill next week.
Alaska's self-government advo-
Gates got measure of satisfaction
Thursday when Chairman Butler
of the Senate Interior Committee
told them the Senate would GO
along with a bill to permit Alas
kans to elect their own governor.
They made it clear, however,
they would much prefer about
statehood.
Fred AFFORD, Anchorage coun-
Gilman, told congressman that AL
askans realize statehood will bring
responsibilities but like anyone
undertaking a new job "they will
learn to handle it."
He predicted that a poll today
would find far greater percent
age of Alaskans in favor of state
hood than in 1916 when a refer
endum carried some 5000 to $500

President Eisenhower's Challenge
To Russia Is Only Opening Round
OF An About "Peace Offensive''

AUGUSTA, Ca, o. President
Eisenhower's challenge to Russia
on world peace and armament
reduction is only the opening
round in an about ''peace often
sive."
A White House official, who
asked not to be named, told re-
porters today the administration
already has launched "the great
est drive it possibly can" to bring
pressure on the Soviet Union to
subscribe to an effective plan for
world peace.
The President yesterday called
on Russia to back its talk of peace
with action by Cd Agreeing to an
immediate arrnistice in Korea, %
Ending the cold war, 90 Cutting
world ornaments, and (4 Putting
the savings into a global fund to
fight "the brute forces of proverty
and need"
The other choices to Soviet ac-
ceptance, the President said, are
atomic war at the Worst-at the
best-a continuing cloud of threat
ening war - humanity hanging
from a cross of iron"
Talking to newsmen after Essen
hover returned to his Augusta va
cation headquarters, White
House official summed up the
Presidents address this way:
'We laid it on the line. We
asked some questions-what, for
example, is the Soviet Uni o n
ready to do? We are now await
ing the answers"
The Eisenhower speech was de-
scribed as a carefully planned
"peace offensive" which a White
House official said was discussed
in advance with COP congression-
al leaders and with such free
world governments as Great Brit
ain and France.

Most traffic originating south
