The first of three Montgomery
County Civil Defense evacuation
drills for school children went
off yesterday without a hitch.
Promptly at 1920 am. ap-
proximately 140 pupils and
teachers poured out of the Long
fellow School for Boys. in Beth
esda, to board buses and autos.
Escorted by police and fol-
lowed by an ambulance from the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad, they were whisked away
from the danger area" to the
R. B. Butts farm about four
miles north of Laytonsville.
Five, instead of the estimated
ten minutes, were required to
load the vehicles and get them
on their way out Old George
town road to Route 240. The
last car of the caravan entered
the farm property 81 minutes
after the danger signal" was
given.
A picnic and swimming party
was held on the farm at the con-
clusion of the test. It. caused
most of the youngsters attend
ing the private school to bring
along such appropriate survival
equipment as bathing trunks,
water goggles and t1ippers.
Others found it necessary to
grab up baseball mitts before
leaving their classrooms.
Heading the operation yester-
day was Admiral G. R. Hartwig
(USN, retired) of the Mont
gomery County Civil Defense
Control Center.
Admiral Hartwig said similar
tests will be held at schools in
Takoma Park and Damascus
on June /.

State Boord Weighs
SEWAGE Plant Plea

RICHMOND. May % (P).-
The State Water Control Board
took under advisement yesterday
the application of John Bobby
for permission to build a private
sewage disposal plant to serve
some 1900 persons in the Nc
Lean Heights subdivision Of
Fairfax County.
The city of Washington and
Army engineers have opposed
the construction of the treat
ment plant, which will dump
treated effluent into SCOTS Run
and thence into the Potomac
River. below Great Falls but
above Little Falls. .
The sewage would be given
primary and secondary treat
ment and also chlorination.
However, Washington objects
because it would enter the river
above it's emergency intake for
its water supply. Its present
normal intake is above the point
where the effluent would enter
the river, but it is below a pro-
posed intake.

Virginia Jury
Acquifs -Four
OF Vote Fraud
Were Accused Of
MishundIinq Mail
Ballots in 1852

ABINGDON. Va, May % H1.
-Four Russell County men have
been acquitted here in Federal
District Court of Federal charges
of conspiracy in the alleged mis-
handling of mail ballots in the
1852 election.
Yesterdays verdict of innocent
by the jury of nine men and
three women brought to an end
week long stint of testimony
by more than so witnesses.
The Government accused the
four defendants of conspiring to
influence the 1852 election by
the mishandling of mail ballots
in the Swords Greek precinct of
Russell County.
A total of 18 were originally
indicted. However, three plead
ed nolo contendre (no contest)
last November and were given
suspended sentences. Charges
against two others were dropped.
Six others are scheduled to go
on trial here next week.
Those acquitted in yesterdays
action were Robert Ferrell Run
yon, AZ, coal operator and store
keeper: Ebert Patton Dyke. So
year-old miner; Robert Van
Duke, AZ, a rural mail carrier,
and Henry Dexter Rickman, A,
a farmer.
Politics Charged
AS defense and prosecuting at
torneys gave final arguments in
yesterdays session, charges OF
politics boiled to a head.
United States Attorney John
Strickler of Roanoke accused
Mr.. Runyon of a cheap and
sordid effort to inject poll
tics into the case"
A. E. Lively of Lebanon, de-
fense attorney, retorted:
There is politics in the case
and it has been there from the
start but Runyon didn't bring
it in. Someone at the top di-
rected the FBI to come and
make an investigation and ]
think the evidence shows the
FBI was told to investigate the
Democrats and not the Repub-
licans." ..
Another defense attorney,
Stuart B. Campbell of Wythe-
vile, said Mr.. Runyon told FBI
agents he knew Of violations by
Republicans but that no ir1ves-
tigation was made.
cat that time" Mr.. Campbell
said. "Mr. Eisenhower was Pres
ident, Mr.. Wampler was in Con-
gress and Mr.. Strickler was the
district attorney. Now, who
brought politics into the case?"
FBI Defended
Assistant United States At
torney Wilson told the court
it was ridiculous to try and i'm
pute political motives to the
FBI as defense attorneys had
tried to do" "
The Government attorneys
argued that it had shown there
was an understanding among
these men to get people to vote
by mail the way they wanted
them voted"
Judge A. D. Barksdale in
structed the jury to keep in mind
the defendants were being tried
for conspiracy and not for any
violation of Virginia's election
laws.
He told the jury not to con-
slider as evidence of a conspiracy
the fact that all four defendants
were Democrats or that any OF
them worked individually as
party workers.

Bott|eC|ubP Pair
GriIIos Face New
Counts in Test Of
Prince Georges Laws

Two Prince Georges County
operators Of a bottle club were
freed yesterday of charges they
permitted the after-hours con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages.
when Circuit Court Judge
Charles c. Marbury ruled that
warrants against them were
faulty.
States Attorney Blair H.
Smith said the, pair. Vincent r.
iGrillo and his wife Mildred. OPP
orators of the Lyre Club on Msrl-
boro pike. will be recharged in
new warrants under a mutual
agreement with the Grillos to
test validity of the county's
anti-bottle club laws.
Mr.. Smith ended a short hear
ing yesterday on a total of five
charges against the couple, when
he conceded the warrants were
faulty as contended by Defense
Attorney John F. Lillard, jr., in
a motion to dismiss them.
Mr.. Lillard said the warrants
were insufficient to properly
charge an offense in that they
failed to name the persons
who allegedly consumed the
liquor.
Mr.. Smith said, after the
hearing, in a press conference
on the case held Jointly with
Mr.. Lillard, that he will con-
tinue his fight to fulfill cam
paign promise to eliminate
bottle clubs from the county.
He said he is convinced the
Grillos are as anxious as he is
to determine legality of the bottle
club operation and that they
will comply with a previous
offer to submit to a technical
arrest in order to bring the dis
pute to showdown.
The new arrests apparently
will lead to test of an old
law under which the Grillos
we're charged. 1t prohibits the
consumption of alcoholic bever-
ages in licensed restaurants be-
tween the hours of 2 and 6 am.
Also tested will be the county's
new all-inclusive law, passed by
the last session OF the Legisla-
ture, prohibiting the consump-
tion of alcohol in any public or
private place during the early
morning hours.
Mr.. Lillard has contended both
the old law and the new one,
to become effective in June, are
unconstitutional.
Mr.. Smith announced that new
cases against the Grillos will be
prepared for trial before a panel
of three Circuit Court judges.

A Lesson On Praise and Prayer
James 5:I3-18

Christians can experience
sickness, afflictions and JOY.
Sickness and afflictions are not
necessarily the result of sin.
There are times when God per-
mits His own to suffer in order
that they may be strengthened
spiritually, or so that they will
be instruments by which God
can demonstrate His power
(Hebrews 12:5-11; II Corinthians
12:7-I0). Such experiences also
enable us to minister to others
more effectively II Corinthians
1:4). Joy is a Christian charact-
eristic John 1910; Philippians
4:4).
In times of affliction we are
encouraged to pray (verse 13).
Men and women of God, all
down through history, have un-
dergone severe testings. The
average person would have dem
led and cursed God, but Gods
own would not. We read that
they prayed and trusted God
(I Samuel 1:6-19; Nehemiah 40;
Psalms; Acts 4:23-31; 12:5-17;
16;22-25). This is in keeping with
the teaching of Jesus that Men
ought always to pray, and not
to faint" (Luke 18:D.
'Is any merry, let him sing
psalms" (verse 13). A happy
Christian is a singing Christian
(Ephesians 5:18). Singing psalms,
hymns and spiritual songs is a
practical way to glorify God and
to testify or witness to those
around us of the goodness and
grace of God psalm 89:1; 92:1-4;
95; SO; 98).
In verses IA and IS of our
text we are eXhorted to call for
prayer in times of sickness.
Medical science has come along
way since the beginning of Chris
tianity. Yet, even today, our doc
tors are limited in knowledge
and ability. Also, there are GER
tain ailments which are caused
by a spiritual disorder rather
than an organic disorder. Medi-
cine will do no good. Pray in
times of sickness (as in times of
affliction) is an opportunity for
God to demonstrate His power.
1t will also strengthen the faith
of the Christian and testify to
the unsaved. In | John SIG there
is an exception to praying for the
sick. Prayer for the sick requires
that the one prayed for should
confess all known sin (verse 16).
James encourages us to pray
by telling us that "the effectual
fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much" (verse 16).
He referred to Elias (Elijah) as
an example.

Bible Questions
And Answers
ALBERT F. RANDOLPH

Question: Where does the
Bible teach the baptism of in
fants?
Answer: I'm sure that as far as
l known l have never found that
place where the Bible teaches
the baptism of infants. l have
had given to me passages and
suggestions that are supposed to
teach this doctrine, but while
churches practice and teach this,
I am sure that it is not taught
in the word of God. Very early
in the Christian era one group
of Christians baptized children
and babes by immersion. They
long have left that practice, but
continue to sprinkle infants and
children.
There are three passages in
the New Testament that are gen
orally given as a Scriptural
foundation for this practice.
They are Matt. 19:13-15; Mark
10:13-16 and Luke 1856,
will herewith quote the passage
from Mark 10:13-16 as follows:
"And they Brought young chill
dren to him, that he should touch
them: and his disciples rebuked
those that brought them. But
when Jesus saw it, he was much
displeased, and said unto them,
Suffer the little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not:
for of such is the kingdom of
God. Verify / say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child,
he shall not enter therein. And
he took them up in his arms, and
put his hands on them, and
blessed them"
If these passages are used we
will have to agree that it is not
baptism. 1t would be a very good
ritual for a dedication of the
babe, and one that would surely
be of deep Scriptural practice.
Practice and prejudice form
many of our ways of doing
things, but we should be close
enough to God and His word to
do what He teaches us in His
word.
Baptism should definitely be
practiced, but we should be
careful that we have the proper
candidates for this sacred rite of
the church. A generally accepted
definition Of baptism is some
thing like this, that it is an out
word act showing a definite in
ward work. Or it is a testimony
to the world that we have been
born again, and our being i'm
mersed in water shows our
burial to the old life and our
coming out of the water our re-
surrection to a new life. Peter
in Acts 2:38 definitely tells us
that we are to, Repent and be
baptized" Now repentance is a
complete change of heart con-
corning sin and righteousness,
leaving sin and embracing right
BUSINESS in Christ Jesus. AS such
child can never be a candidate
for baptism, and many who are
baptized have not brought forth
works meet for repentance, and
so should not be baptized. Let
God speak and follow His word
carefully, and His blessing will
be with you.
