JehOvah'S Witness
Assemblies Attract 800

Miami will be represented by
delegation of approxim tel 100
persons at a series of National as
Semblies of Jehovah's Witnesses
which begin today and extend
into Canada and Europe this sum-
mer.
Chicago is the scene of the first
of the IL major Bible conferences
being held by Jehovah's Witnesses
with the opening session at CO.
miskey Park on June %.
On successive weeks. conven-
tons similar to the Chicago pro-
gram will convene at the Emu ire
Stadium in Vancouver, British
Columbia; Wrigley Field in Los
Angeles; the Cotton Bowl in Dali
las and Yankee Stadium in New
York, scene of the Witnesses
1853 international Gathering.
There will be delegation from
Miami at each of the assemblies
assured Louis l.. Balafas, presid-
/. ing minister of one of Miami's II
congregations of Jehovah's Wit
nesses. The largest Miami delega-
ton, some 600 persons, will motor
to New York for the final North
American assembly July 1924.
Many of the local delegates were
among the 165,000 persons in at
tendance at the 100 National New
World Society Assembly in that
city in 1853, termed the largest
Christian assembly ever held in
North America.
Some fifty Miamians will join
5000 others on chartered planes
and boats carrying the American
delegation to Europe for six con-
tinental assemblies beginning in
London's Wembly Stadium July
q. From London, the convention
will travel to Paris, Rome, Nurem-
berg, Stockholm and the Hague
where the same program will be
delivered in the native languages.
According to Mr.. Balafas, some
100000 persons in the United
States alone, will attend these
gatherings for pure worship and
divine education. This is evidence
that True Faith in God is not on
the decline"

With the theme, 'The Church
Fostering Christian Faith in The
Home" and the theme song HE
Lives, dominating the program,
the 1855 session of the district
Sunday School and Baptist Train
ing Union has just closed one Of
the greatest sessions in its history.
The meeting was held in beau
tiful First Baptist Church, Fort
Lauderdale, DR.. r. L.. Holley,
pastor, June 1919.
Each morning from $50 until
1890 and from 2:30 until 4:30

E. T. Graham, Miami, instructors
Mrs. Susie Holly, Fl. Lauderdale;

With president r. H. Lee pre-

lightning. They explode like
dynamite and yet some people
fling them about as though they
were air; they say whatsoever
they please and call it frankness.
Their speech cuts and bruises and
burns and they call it courage.
1t is not courage. it is horrible
cruelty without excuse.
She continued, but words need
not be cruel they bring forth rich
and plentiful fruit. This well
planned and forcefully delivered
message was a challenge.
This convention gave a schol-
arship of $4,000 at Florida Nor
nal and Memorial College, st.
Augustine. This will be an annual

On Saturday morning it was a
gratifying sight to see almost 200
bows and girls marching into the
church from all points of the dis
trict to enter the Baptist Hymnal
singing contest by the junior
choirs of the district. After the
beautiful singing of many good
old hymns such as "I'm happy
with Jesus Alone,"> and many
others, the prizes were awarded.
First prize, Junior choir, St.
John, Miami.
Two second prizes, junior choir
Of Shiloh,' Miami. and junior choir
of Mt. Olive, Delray Beach.
Third prize, junior choir of
Friendship, West Palm Beach.
Many thanks to everyona who
helped the choirs in any way.
This was banner year for the
convention. Over $4,000 was rails

Church, West Palm Beach.

bility to strike back" which Pres
ident Eisenhower and his adj
visers feel is the best deterrent
as well as the best reply to a
Russian attack.
Their. spur Is the fact that
time has been removed from the
arsenal of democracy. No one
expects that any future war will
give us time for two-year build
up to peak production such as
we had after Pearl Harbor.
Their main problem is that
they cannot make intensive, all
out preparations for an imme-
date emergency but must devise
q mobilization program that the
American people can live with
for years, perhaps for decades.
And this program must function
at a time when America may be
reeling under atomic or hydrogen
bomb attack.
While the military phase of
the administrations long-range
preparedness program appears
to be pretty well set, this civilian
phase is far from completed.
Progress Is painfully slow and
sometimes it is reversed by new
information on the destructive
power of new weapons or changes

q communications and transpor-
tation were shattered. the Gov
eminent at least disrupted and
much of our industry knocked
out?".
In many cases. of course, the
answer Is: mo" But the plan
ners work constantly to minimize
the time and output losses that
attack would cause. They seem
to be making more progress in
preparing industry for attack
than the Federal Civil Defense
Administration is making on
preparing the civilian popula-
ton.

become obsolete In addition to
being expensive to make and
store. Therefore, military supplies
are held to the amounts needed
to meet wars initial impact. The
emphasis is on constant research
and development Of new, more
efficient tools Of war rather than
tremendous output now. II war
should come, emphasis would
switch at once to output Of the
latest models industry could
produce.
The mobilization base combines
existing industrial capacity with
the standby capacity of unused
machine tools which are kept in
mothballs-that is, protected
against deterioration and in
shape to be put to use on short
notice. A number of devices as
used to build the base. The
most important is issuance of
certificates of necessity" which
permit a business to write of
the cost of plant expansion more
rapidly for tax purposes than
otherwise would be allowed. An
other device is spreading defense
orders as widely as possible and
holding production Of needed
arms to the slowest rate con-
sistent with national security.
This keeps the maximum num-
Der Of assembly lines in opera
ton.
There are also loan and other
programs to encourage produc-
ton Of tools. particularly those
which have no peaceful use.
Steel Capacity Up !
1t is generally agreed that the
mobilization base is in pretty
good shape as far as capacity to
produce basic materials is con-
cerned. Steel capacity has been
expanded "A per cent since 1850;
aluminium output has been
doubled in four years. Difficult
ties are found mostly in the sup
ply of certain tools used mainly
for military items and in the |
production of certain bottleneck |
items such as turbines and gears. |
Tied in with the mobilization |
base Is the stockpiling of raw |
in warehouses across |
the country. Nearly SIS billion
worth of rs raw materials needed |
in war production have been
amassed. They range from abra-
sives to zinc and include such |
items as industrial diamonds, |
silk, asbestos, coconut |
oil and copper.
The cost Of this stockpile may
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-15

reach $40 billion before 1t is
completed. The raw materials
stocks may be augmented soon
by certain manufactured items
parts of military equipment that
take an exceptionally long time
to, produce. Stockpiling these
would reduce the lead time on
finished items and yet leave
room for design changes.
The sort of open-end planning
that the mobilization agency
must do is tough in itself. But
it is made infinitely more diff
cult by the fact that the pro-
gram may have to function after
a full-scale enemy attack on the
Nations production strength.
In establishing each mobili-
cation. goal. the question must
be asked: Gould this be done
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-15

in our own military requirements
Investigation can only lead to
the conclusion that militarily we
are ready to give a good account
of ourselves. but industrially we
are far from ready to convert
swiftly and effectively to total
mobilization.
Nevertheless, mobilization plan
ming under Defense Mobilization
Director Arthur s. Flemming goes
doggedly forward and decisions
are being made that affect ev-
cry American.
For example. Mr.. Trimmings
staff is now drawing blueprint
of just what would have to be
produced-the items and the
amounts-in about mobilization.
The Defense Department has
provided a list of 1000 major
military items which would ac-
count for 80 per cent of the hard
goods the armed services would
require. Other departments are
working on a list Of the rock
bottom civilian requirements
those things absolutely necessary
to keep the non-military popula-
ton alive and on the job.
The civilian list will be meshed
with the military list. Together
they will reveal to the Office
of Defense Mobilization the gaps
in the Mobilization base"
which is gobbledygook for the
ability to expand production
q'vckly to the high levels war
would require.
