ing to entertain a motion to consi-
der and act upon severance from
the Presbyterian Church, U: S.; to
established and carry on an indie
pendent Presbyterian Church at
/ that location and to confirm Gar
rett and his elders as officials Of
the new independent church.
| Presbytery Order
It was the decision of the Pres
bytery that this action was con-
trary to the constitution and prin-
ciples of the church and prohibited
Garrett from taking this action.
Garrett ignored the order, and
at the congregational meeting
members Of the congregation voted
to sever relations with the Pres
byterian Church, U. S., and to es-
tablish an independent church with
Garrett as pastor.
On September /. written order
was served on Garrett dissolving

ment.

Arlene Platt divorced Millard
Platt and Vivian Fowler divorced
Claude Fowler and served as

The new Mrs. Fowler told
newsmen at first she didn't wish

but later she talked about Dean
Platt, II, and Michael Platt, 8,
her sons.
"All four of US love the boys
and they are free to live with
either family. under the new ar

Both couples said they had
worked for six months on their
problem. Mrs. Platt said: I'VE
arranged this as carefully as we
could so the boys would not be
hurt"
Said Mr.. Fowler: People fall
in love all the time and in this
case it is just fortunate that it
was all among friends"

Mount Vesuvius Bubbles,
Threatens 10 Erupt

NAPLES, April 81 (NANA).-
Mount Vesuvius is bubbling up
for its first eruption in 10 years,
Italian scientists warned today.
The volcano is running a tenn
perature 800 times above boiling
point. In one recent month, the
temperature rose about 100 de-
grees.
These are danger signs, &C
cording to experts at Naples
University, that the volcano is
preparing to erupt. Special re-
cording instruments have been
sent from Rome in order to
make a more exact prediction.
Mount Vesuvius has a black
record for destroying the peas
ants who live near its slopes.
The most famous eruption in
history occurred in 79 A. D.
when lava from Vesuvius buried
Pompeii, killing 1000 persons.

said in opening the first session.
"We want to find out what
damage. if any. is being done to
our children through comic
books featuring sordid crime and
sadism."
Freedom Of Press No Issue.
Senator Hendrickson said
freedom Of the press is not an
issue.a He said the inquiry will
deal with comic books featuring
horror and crime. and that
comic strips appearing in daily
newspapers were not involved.
The chairman said more than
billion comic books are sold in
the United States annually, but
the subcommittee "is only in
tereSted in a fraction of that
number"
He said hundreds of thou
sands of horror books are ped
died throughout the country to
our children"

earnestly to find out why so
many young Americans are in
dulging in delinquency" Senator
Hendrickson said. "The in
crease of craven crime by young
Sters is rising at a frightening
pace"
All Causes Studied.
1--WE are studying all the
causes and will determine what
action can be taken. It, would
be erroneous to state that comic
books alone cause such delin-
Quency."
Senator Kefauver, Democrat,

member, said the group will
look into possible violations of
various Federal laws, including
the postal statutes, where comic
books are concerned"

Cases Statement on Mccarthy
If Charges Are Sufficient to Remove Wsconsonite From
His Committee, Aren't they Enough to Unseot Him?
David Lawrence

The first Republican nomi-
nee for a seat in the United
States Senate to stick his neck
out on the Mccarthy issue is
Clifford p. Case Of New Jersey,
formerly q member Of the
House Of Representatives.
Mr.. Case says In a prepared
statement that, If elected, he
viii not only vote against con-
tinuing the Wisconsin Senator
as chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Government
Operations. but he will vote to
ban him from being a mem
Der.
This sounds like a bold and
courageous step because it
could conceivably cost Mr..
Case the election. but 1t really
isn't as courageous as it
sounds. For, If the Indictment
made by Mr.. Case is in his
judgment supportable. he log
ically should have advocated
that Senator Mccarthy be re-
moved from the Senate alto
gether. If Senator Mccarthy
isn't eligible to be a member of
one Senate committee on ac-
count of the reasons given by
Mr.. Case, then he isn't eligi-
BILE to sit in the Senate at all.
This means that Mr.. Case is
saying to the people Of Wis
consin that the man they
elected in 1852 with full knowl-
edge Of his views and course
OF action in public Office is to
be debarred from serving them
on important committees of
the majority party as a con-
sequence Of the vote Of the
people of New Jersey, and any
other States which concur in
that procedure.
This is but another way Of
Furnishing a man for the views
expressed by him in the per-
Torrance Of what he believes
to be his duty to the people
OF his own State. Mr.. Case is

PRESIDENT Eisenhower, after
long confabs with congress

leave the door ajar concerning
Americas withdrawal from the
United Nations in the event
China is admitted.
Gen. Eisenhower reiterated
publicly and privately his OPP
position on moral grounds to
such admission. But he de-

withdrawal when we get to it.
According to informed con-
greSsional sources, the Chief
Executive. aware of the popu-

week by Senate Majority
Leader William Knowland, has

It is Congress and not the
executive branch which has

ship. The great majority of
Congress considers that dread
possibility as a slap, not at the
prestige and interests Of the
United States, but DIT the
fundamental moral principles
which are the cornerstone of
the q. N.
Contrary to the views taken
by some Of our allies-partic-
ularly Britain and France
the U. N. is not a debating
society. It is an organization
created for maintenance Of
world peace, through military
action If necessary.
This was demonstrated in
1850 when North Korea in
vaded the South Korean re-
public and military forces were
rushed within "a hours to put
down the aggression.
The lack of success Of the
Korean operation-due to in
ternational politics and not
military inability-does not
justify in the slightest the adj
mission intb the fold of peace
loving nations" of the country
which conducted the agrees
sion.

with diplomatic recognition.
The U. S. S. r. has pre-
vented the admission of Spain,
Fire, and Italy, and would GER
tainly ban West Germany. The
first two were peace loving
enough to stay out of World
War II. Fire and Italy are
recognized automatically by
the Soviet Union, and most Of
the worlds states, except the
Communists. have opened en-
bassies or legations in Bonn,
although West Germany is not
yet fully sovereign.
The plain fact is that every
y. N. decision has been made

called candidly sacred ego
tism," and according to the
national interests of the men,

"The admission of any state

A two-thirds majority of the

the concurring votes of all five

Peace loving" is one of those
weasel-words with which the
U.N. Charter is studded. To get
ones case for admission before
the General Assembly, a state
must pass muster by the five
permanent members of the
Security Council that it is
peace loving, and that there is
reason to believe it will fulfill
its Charter obligations. One Of
these is specific. It is to refrain
from giving assistance to any
state against which the United
Nations is taking preventive or
enforcement action.
The only enforcement action
taken by the U.N. was against
North Korea-a decision Of the
Security Council in the absence
of the U.S.S.R. Communist
China supported North Korea,
morally and militarily and
justifies the action to this day.
Logically, therefore, there Is no
reason to believe it prepared to
accept the obligations defined
in the Charter. But were Com
muniSt China admitted to
membership. it would auto
matically replace the present
representation Of the Formosa
government on the Security
Council, and thus be able to
veto any action-or any mem
