Jesus microscopy Prayer. nth
Chapter of John, truth to live bv
And whatsoever you shall ask
in my name, that will I do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son
John lab
Choosing his admonitions, instruc-
tons, and words of comfort to H;s
disciples in the upper room. Jesus
lifted His eyes to heaven in PRAYER
This prayer may be divided into
three parts.
|. A petition on His own behalf
that the Fathers name night he
glorified through Jesus.
2. He prayed for His immediate
disciples.
3. He prayed for His entire
church.
The fact that Jesus did not prav
for the world in this particular pray-
er is no induction that He did NOT
love the world, for in Matt. 6:10
Jesus taught His disciples then and
all that were to come, to pray for
the reconciliation of humanity to
God. Let thy ingdom come and thv
will be done in earth as it is in
Heaven. Jesus knew that in due
time Gods will would be supreme
IN all the earth and to all human
ity.
But Jesus in His intercessory
prayer was interceeding for His dis
ciples who would be With him
spiritually in blessing all nations
kindreds and tongues. Jesus was
looking to the ultimate blessings
of the world when all men will re-
cognize. accept and appreciate the
truth that God had sent him to save
the world.
Jesus knew full well how the dis
ciples would encounter world hate

He is doing it now and will be I'M

At least eight deaths were at

The mercury zoomed to an I'M
official oven-like 121 degrees in
Pittsburgh, Kansas, Monday and
plus 100-degree readings were
common from the Rockies east

Shellfish Poisoning Death
Reported In Aleutians

ANCHORAGE, Up - The first
death from shellfish poisoning

Unimak Island in the Aleutians.

KadOw Asserts Government Loaned
us. Tin Corp. Money For Purpose OF
Developing A New Source of Tin

He said the joint committee on
defense production has learned
that government money was put
into the mine for the purpose of
developing a new source of tin,
not in the hope of yielding a pro-
fit. 1t has done all the things that
prompted the government loans
and will show a return on the
investment"
Kadow said the mine spurred
three other companies to organize
in the same area. One of them,
he claimed, found 5 million
pounds of tin by drilling its
ground. Another produced 375
tons of tin concentrates, he said,
but was forced out of business
when the price of tin fell to "a
cents a pound.

Prospects Grow DINNER
For Hawaii Statehood

WASHINGTON, R -Prospects
grew DINNER today for passage of
the Hawaii statehood bill this
year.
Congressional Republican lead
ers told reporters after a confer
ence with President Eisenhower
that the fate of Hawaii statehood
depends upon action by the House
Rules Committee.
House Speaker Martin said thus
far the needed seven votes are
lacking in the Rules Committee
to send the House-passed Hawaii
bill and the Senate-passed bill for
both Hawaii and Alaska statehood
to the Senate House conference
committee.
With Congress pressing for adj
journment Aug. l, and with a
possible filibuster threatened in
the Senate on the statehood legis-
lation, time now is working heav-
lily against final action this year.

President Tells
Why He Opposed
Alaska Statehood

WASHINGTON, President
Eisenhower nudged Congress to-
day for quick passage of his tax
and farm programs.
He said the tax program would
help the economy expand and
create more jobs and his farm
proposals would benefit the entire
country and thus prove to be the
best kind of politics.
Eisenhower also told a news
conference that the House mem
bers who killed his health rein
surance program simply don't
understand the facts of life.
The American people lost, he
said, when the House rejected the
program 238-134.
And, Eisenhower said, he will
carry on the fight for such pro-
gram as long as he is in office.
The President made a formal
announcement that South Korean
President Syngman Rhee's July 26
visit to the United States will be
for the purpose of making further
plans for "the attainment of a
unified, free and independent
Korea"
On other matters Eisenhower
said:
l. He is not going to let his
proposal for a limited share-the-
atom program for peaceful pur-
poses die if he can help it. 1t calls
for participation by the Russians
as well as this country's allies.
The President said he was sure
British Prime Minister Churchill
agreed with him the plan should
not die even if some people -
meaning the Russians = will not
go along with it. His meaning
seemed to be that an atomic pool
without the Soviet bloc is pos
sibility.
2. He is very deeply concerned
about Alaska's place in the United
States defense system. While. he
declined to give a specific opinion
on statehood for Alaska, he said
it is easier to use a territory than
it is to use state for defense
purposes, for the reason that the
central government has absolute
control of territory.
3. He can't predict when or
whether the administration will
call on Congress for a boost in the
275-billion-dollar ceiling ON the
national debt. The decision must
be deferred, he told questioners,
until more of the governments
bills are in.
But regardless of the immedi-
ate problem, Eisenhower added,
the administration is resolved to
place the government on a basis
of living within its income. The
country can't live forever on de-
ficit spending, he said.

Ketchikan's 25O-Million Dollar
Pulp Mill, Alaska''s First All-Year
Industrial Plant, Is Dedicated Today

KETCHIKAN, PA 25O-million
dollar "push button" pulp mill,
rising from a rocky cove that was
wilderness two years ago, was to
be dedicated today as Alaska's
first major year-around industrial
plant.
The Ketchiken Pulp Company's
new mill, a mechanical marvel
with centralized remote controls
for dozens of complicated pro-
cesses, was hailed as a big step
in the territory's development.
The Puget Sound Pulp & Tim
Der Co., and American Viscose
Corp, which teamed to form
Ketchikan Pulp and pioneer the
project, were hosts to group of
business, government and finan-
cial leaders who flew here from
Seattle for the dedication.
Now operating "a hours daily
after a shakedown period, the
plant at Ward Cove, 6 miles north
west of here is turning out 300
tons day of chemical cellulose
for us. and world markets. An
increase of 525 tons is expected
later.
The company will employ 800
men in woods and plant and in
tends to increase this to above
1000 as production grows.
Ketchikan Pulp, first to tap
southeastern Alaska's vast virgin
forests, has a 20year contract
with American Viscose, big rayon
producer, for up to 100000 tons
of pulp yearly. 1t expects the 8

There's a million dollars worth of
stainless steel piping and maze
of complicated machinery. An 85-
foot-high dam on Ward Creek,
three miles above the mill, pro-
vides the so million gallons of
water needed daily for manufac-
turing.
The finished pulp is packed in
4O0-pound bales and usually will
be shipped via rail car barge,
